Not Forgotten
ByWostbrook
By Jane Randall
Stacking the back seat of a
car with books and taking off
for a cabin in Colorado to read
them that is Arthur E. West
brook's idea of the way to spend
a vacation.
Westbrook is the Director of
the School of Fine Arts and a
professor of music.
In spite of what he calls his
"night and day" teaching posi
tion, he likes to catch up on his
reading during the interval be
tween the summer session and
the fall term.
"There's nothing I enjoy doing
more than curling up in a rock
ing chair I love rocking chairs,
and reading a good book," he
said.
"Odd Jobs" Hobby
However, since he and Mrs.
Westbrook have recently bought
a house, he plans to make his
"hobby" puttering around doing
odd jobs there.
Td like to do a few things
like painting the back hallway
that lawn is going to need some
attention too, he reflected.
Their house is a stucco one
ul
with an enormous lawn.
humorously remembered that
this combination had been con
trary to their previous convic
tions. Mr. Westbrook, as he terms
it, has the green thumb in the
family." Westbrook's office shows
Signs of this inclination. On his
desk there is a large ivy. Several
small pots containing a rare
breed of the plant grace an iron
stand near one of the windows.
. . Unusual Ivy
Pointing to the more unusual
type of ivy, the Director com
mented, When the sun shines
through the window in the late
afternoon, it makes the most
fascinating shadow design on the
wall I often notice it as I sit at
the piano. It takes my mind off
things.1
The musician says that his
wife is also gifted, At one lime,
she did quite a bit of singing."
he said, ""but now she has joined
me in taking a great interest in
the youngsters here in the school
f music." He described the help
she gave him with his work as
invaluable."
Teaches Voice, Instruments
Although proficient in playing
the piano, Westbrook teaches
When Crib Waiters Start
Wiping Tables, Time to Leave
By Bernie Nelsos
' Have any f yon girls been
wondering how to trap one oi'
those elusive waiters in the
Crib?
: Well, live by these rules and
you are bound to make an im-.
pression.
One of the best ways not to
make a hit is to holler for ser
vice during a rush and then be
enable to make up your mind as
to what you want to order. What
Is even more maddening to the
average waiter is continually ad
ding to your order as he brings
yon each part of it.
Females Menoply
I The weaker sex seems to have
a monopoly on the habit of be
ing unable to make up their
mind. The girls like to let the
miter get their order written
down and then ask. him to change
the entire order.
One of the pet peeves of the
waiters is the Tm the only one
here" type of character. This
species is not limited to .any sex.
In the eyes of the waiter he is
probably lower than the amoeba.
This sterling character pav
SaDy marches into the only open
booth in the place and imme
diately starts to raise a fuss. He
keeps bothering the waiter until
the poor man finally has to leave
come other customers, thus mak
ing them mad, to wait on this
low-life. Take it "easy, people,
hell get around to you when
your turn comes.
Buddy
Running a close sem io the
"only one here" character the
ruy that 5s supposed to be the
buddy of the waiter. This sad
adk, who probably heads the
waiter's list of -mortal enemies,
expects special service because
of his "friendship." The waiter
may not even know his name.
Another way to gain the .dis
like of these men is to come in
$ust before .closing time and stay
Sor 15 minutes or so after clos
ing. These people usually learn
f the dislike for their type with
in a short time.

In speaking of the Nebraska
music alumni, the Director
boasted of having a complete
file of all their graduates for
the past 12 years. He, in his own
mind, has kept track of a num-

taken teaching positions within
the state.
We have had some trouble,"
he stated, with our students
having preconceived notions that
they don't want to stay within
their own state." He observed
also that many have come to
school with the "impractical
idea" that they will reach the
Metropolitan Opera sometime.
Opportunities In Nebraska
Our students some of then
dont stop to realize that there
is an opportunity for a music
career wTaiting for them in some
of these small towns in Nebras
ka," he asserted.
Yet, looking on the graduates
with a fond smile, Westbrook re
membered the stacks of Christ
mas cards that he and his wife
receive from them every year.
There are so many that 'they
cover the top of our grand
piano," he reminisced. "The
alumni sometimes include pic
tures of their families their
children. We my wife and I
call them our grandchildren."
He explained further that since
they regarded the students as
their children, their families
given late-stayers are:

3. Oeaning of the tables around
the offending couple Yes, they
usually come in pairs. As the
tables are susoaUy cleaned with
vinegar water each night, this
method usually works. Who can
enjoy eating or talking while the
odor of vinegar permeates the air.
Grin and Bear It
If you succeed in staying
through these and a number of
other broad hints, the waiters just
have to grin and hear it
There are other ways to irri
tate these gladiators of the Union,
but most of them are confined to
individual waiters.
Of course, if you want the ser
vice rather than the man, you can
try any of several methods that
work very well, but you won't be
liked any better for your ef
forts. N.U.

Model Assembly
Bickerings and denunciations
between Russia and her satellites
and western nations enlivened
last year's model United Nations
general assembly.
The assembly, sponsored by
NUCWA the fourth week of
March of 1950, met in committee
meetings and plenary sessions.
Hundreds of-University students
participated, discussing such prob
lems as an international police
force and taking the views of the
various countries which they rep
resented. Chancellor R. G. Gustavson ad
dressed the second plenary ses
sion of the conference. Gustav
son emphasized the importance of
the atomic energy problem.
"It is the most important in the
world today," he said.
Voting Followed Trend
Questions both major and mi
nor were discussed by the assem
bly. Voting followed a general
trend, the Western and Eastern
nations rarely agreeing.
At one period during the ses
sions, Soviet delegates grabbed
their brief cases and papers and
staged a walk-out
At the next "Session,-spectators
noticed six delegates sitting in a
row in the galleries. The six
were members of the Russian
delgation. They ate ice cream
bars until the break came for
them to rejoin the assembly.
Biggest opposition to the Rus
sians came from the united
States section, where coeds kept
the 'fire hot by heaping coals

In the final session, after a
committee resolution which Rus

Russians labeled the resolution
"capitalistic and backed by big
business and monopolies."
Russians Promise Veto
The Russians promised to veto
the resolution in the Security
Council.
University delegates elected
Sweden, Iraq and New Zealand
as non-permanent members of
the Security council.
Dr. Frank Sorenson described
to the assembly UNESCO's role
in the struggle for world peace.
The conference was patterned
nn th workings of the actual
United Nations assembly. Com
mittee meetings were neia in

Four committees were organ

the committees threshed out ques

While other students enjoyed
th sunshine and fair-weather in
dicative of the week, interested
students spent hours at Love
library poring over pamphlets and
books, thinking up new resolu
tions and ideas to "stump" the
opposition.
Meetings in Bauroom
General assembly meetings,
held in the Union ballroom, were

headed by assembly president Ted
Sorensen.
Fraternities, sororities and oth
er campus organizations partici
pated. Nearly every country had
"first delegate," "second dele
gate," and "third delegate," each
prepared to take over the coun
try's business if the opportunity
came.
Nebraska University Council
for World Affairs carries out a
spring project of this type each
year. This year, the organization
has chosen a model political com
mittee meeting.
Countries will be represented
in the same way as previously
with one exception. Interested
students or groups of students not
affiliated with a campus organi
zation may take the part of a
country and manage its business
throughout the meetings.
C. N. Interested
United Nations headquarters at
Lake Success has shown great in
terest in the projects held each
spring at the University. At last
year's first session, William Agar,
representative of the UN depart
ment of public information gave
the opening address.
Other business taken care of
at the first session was the oust

seat.
The world situation has changed
since NUCWTA's discussions last
spring.
