the most monumental of all

at Vienna on May 7, 1824 at
which time one of the most
pathetic incidents connected
with the composer's total deaf

Throughout the performance
Beethoven stood by the conductor,
occasionally beating time. At the
conclusion of the piece he con

"I wish they hadn't done this,"
All Amerfcan Bob Reynolds told
members of The Daily Nebraskan
staff as he read the Bob Reynolds
for Innocent story Monday in a
Lincoln paper.
The Lincoln paper reported
that certain members of the
Innocents alumni society "are
reportedly 'deeply incensed' that
Reynolds, an AH-Amerlcan foot
ball star and leading batter with
the University baseball team,
was not named."
While reading the account for
the first time during baseball
practice, the whole controversy
seemed amusing to Reynolds.
He told The Daily Nebraskan
that he did not feel he should be
an Innocent for he did not have
the necessary average (5.2) nor
the activities. "As far as I am
concerned," Reynolds commented,
"the matter is settled."
Elsworth DuTeau of the alumni
society said m the story: "A great
many of us alumni are disap
pointed and feel deeply that a man
who has brought as much credit
Several recently graduated In
nocent alumni told The Nebraskan
that the matter of principle and
personality was involved. They
felt that the out-going Innocents
had the right to pick their sue
cessors.
Student members of Innocents
society have not commented on
the matter.
