Governor Addresses NU Students
On Depression,. U.
ie "Peterson for Senator"!
The
campaign was started rolling on
the University campus Tuesday
night by a speech by Gov. Val
Peterson.
The Nebraska governor is a
candidate for the Republican
nomination for U.S. senator.
Peterson presented three points
which, he said, were "disturbing"
the American citizen today.
Point one was that a depres
sion in the U.S. was inevitable.
The governor said this depres
sion will not start before the
1952 elections, not before the
current budget is spent, nor
while there is ctlll war in Korea,
but it will come.
"The greatest necessity in our
country," the governor said, "is
for financial responsibility in
Washington."
"We must all go without things,"
he added, "and the government is
no exception."
The second point presented by
Peterson was "the failure of
those In authority in Washing
ton to recognize that when you
hold publio office, you hold
publlo trust."
He snlrl thnt his nurnose as
U.S. seiator would be to see that I "One of our most difficult prob

stressed was the lack of a coi

all of Asia," Peterson said, which
would be "the biggest d faster in

"I believe that the gravest dan

Peterson continued "is Communist
imperialism." The governor said
the Communists are out to con

we do must be based upon the

capita'xism.
"This means In our time that

exist on an isolationist basis.
"It is our responsibility," he
said, "to cooperate with all free

address primarily for an audience

Approximately 50 students and
Butler-for-Senator workers lis
tened to the Senator's opening
remarks and then fired questions
from the floor.
Nebraska's senior senator em
phasized that he had never voted
against a military appropriations
bill, after certain ammendments
were attached to the bills.
In answer to a Hawaiian stu
dent's Inquiry about statehood
for his homeland and Alaska,
Senator Butler replied that one
tenth of one per cent of Alas
kan property is privately
owned. He continued that since
a state, like Nebraska, gets tax .
money from which to run the
government from levies on pri
vate property, he feels that
Alaska is not financially ready
for statehood. .
In answer to his stand, against
statehood for Hawaii, Senator
Butler said the island country
is ready to be a state in every
way with the exception of the fact
that Harry Bridjes dominates the
one labor union with which Ha

Forty flying fingers and four pianos will be the center of at
tention Thursday night in the Coliseum.
Seated on a raised stage in the south half of the Coliseum, the
First Piano Quartet will present a program at 8 p.m. of originally
arranged classics.
The audience will be seated "in-the round" to obtain maximum
acoustics. Tickets for the quartet may be purchased Thursday
in the Union activities office until 5 p.m. and at the box-office
after 7 p.mJ
Student price is 75 cents. Lower balcony tickets are $3; main
floor, $2; balcony, $1.50; and upper balcony, $1.
Quartet ; members are Adam Garner, Glauco DAttili, Frank
Mittler and Edward Edson. Edwin Fadiman is manager and pro
ducer of the! quartet.
The group started its American career as a radio feature orig
inated by Fadiman. The First Piano Quartet is reputedly the first
of its kind iij the world.
Quartet; members arrange classical music for their presenta
tions between broadcasts and concerts. The only four piano
composition known until the quartet originated was Bach's "Vivaldi
Concerto" which was written for violins and later arranged by
Bach for pianos.
When arranging music for the quartet, the members say they
try to combihe three things:
1. To preserve the musical identity of the original composition;
2. To make the four pianos
greater scope, variety and tonal
3. To cause every one of the
individuality,
I "There is no hierarchy in our
portant," says a quartet member,
Another member says, "We need no leader, nor conductor, nor
have we ever had one. We've played so long together that we
understand each other musically without gestures1
Garner Is from Poland; D'Attili from Italy; Mittler from
Austria; and Edson from the United States.
i Garner completed his piano studies under Xavier Schar
wenka, a pupil of Franz Liszt. He presented the first Berlin
performance of George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in. Blue." Garner
came to the United States to score Eric Charrell's "White Horse
Inn."
D'Attili made his professional debut at the age of six before
members of Rome's Press club. He came to the United States on a
concert tour in 1929. In 1941 and 1942, D'Attili completed a course
at Juilliard School of Music on a scholarship.
Mittler began his career as a violinist and composer. He came
to the United States to become a citizen. Mittler was a teacher,
coach, accompanist and arranger before he joined the quartet.
Edson comes from Chicago. He is also a teacher, composer and
arranger. Edson's pastime is playing the French horn.

their verdict on the trial of Bryce
Crawford, senior law student ac
cused of stealing $300 from the

Jury Foreman Robert loops

Judge Ralph Wilson, recently

"We. the jury, find the defend

Crawford sat silently gazing at
the table before him until the

mented:
"I feel that my counsel did an
excellent job of proving my in
nocence." Crawford was charged with the
theft of $300 from the Law col
