LINCOLN, Jazz Combo, Band: Howard's Tvio-ln-One Performance To Highlight Annual Military Ball By ARLE.NE HRBEK Staff Writer It's not very often that a master music maker gives his audience "two for the price of one." Al though Eddie Howard is a shrewd showman with years of experience in entertaining the public, be can recall with nostalgia his college days at San Jose State when he suffered "dollaritis." .From the many fine musicians in his group, Howard has organized "a band within a band." This jazt combo, (bass, drums, piano. sax, clarinet, trumpet, and trom bone) will perform at the Ball. The big band mill play popular songs of today and the favorites of yesterday, the combo will beat out the catchy rhythms-of bop) Two in one, ideal for the students pocketbook!

Foreign policy is presently bi partisan and should remain that way, be said, "It is a shame the Democrats have chosen foreign policy as an issue," be said. It is easy for citizens to criti cize polkies, foreign allegiances and the difficulty of making prin ciples practical, be said. Dulles tends to look too much at maps and sizes and population figures of nations in determining policy, he said. Van Valkenburg said be regarded Secretary of State John Dulles' polkies some what "cynically." "Foreign aid is essential and is Another feature of the Dessert will be the presentation of the out standing Coed Counselors.

Fame and fot.one caught up with the Howard lad in Chicago. It was at the Arajon Ballroom that Howard learned how to please dancers and listeners alike. Faith can move mountains and., sell a song. Howard was the only one who had faith in the song, "To Each His Own." He was the first to record and introduce the song, despite the aprehensions of the publishers. The result of his faith was the record that sold over three million copies and was featured in the motion picture of the same name. Most smokers lament the pric of pipes and tobacco. Howard is different. Although be doesnt smoke, his Winneika, El. home is a display place for bis pipe col lection. His hobby is made up of pipes from practically every coun try in the world. Howard was a distinction that actually little in comparison to na tional production," be said. The money is well spent to cultivate good feeling, due to the fact that war is more expensive be added. The value of pacts such as SEA TO (Southeast Asia Treaty Organization) is negligible be cause tbey seldom reflect public opinion, which is anti-Western civi lization, be said. .SEATO's value to the United States is little other than leased military bases in a few of the coun tries, he said. The countries have power potential, but little present power, be added. Van Valkenburg feels that amy geopolitical theory is workable two ways in view of present day military destruction. Geopolitics is a theory stating that a Heartland generally presumed to be the USSR-Siberia land mass) could send conquering armies out in all directions and control the world. The Heartland of the theory is im pregnable because of natural bar riers. Van Valkenburg said the Heart land is vulnerable now because of military developments. It would be easier to reach into the Heart and than to expand from it, he said. In Europe during the Geneva summit talks of the Big Three pow ers be said that be hoped for the beginning of a new era of peace. "However, it is impossible to agree on action if the "Atmos phere" of the world is not right," he said. If the situation does not lead to cooperation, any plan is fore destined to failure. Van Valk enburg said. Colonialism is a dead letter in southeastern Asia, he said. At pres ent, countries like Indonesia are still fighting a battle far independ- 1. : J These countries need a lengthy period of time of peace and non interference, he said. These new "Asian nations regard Western help or aid as a gift with strings attached and resent any attempt at influence, he said. "There is no Aria, he said. There can never be a united Asia or even a loosely-tederated state because Asia is not a cultural unit, be said. Such an arrangement could be possible in Europe, Africa or North America, but never in Asia, he said. ' Van Valkenburg is director of Clark University cf Geography at Worcester, Mass.

Holder: gmQQF Advises - Engineering students at the Uni versity were urged Wednesday morning to "give respect to those men who have preceded you, mak ing your path clearer, but reserve greater respect for you, yourself, who have new achievements and concepts to forge, and above all, the ability to do so." This advice was given by Rob ert Holder, a consulting engineer from Kansas City, who spoke at the annual aH-engineermg convocation on the topic, -"Consulting Engineer ing Some Whys and Hows." A 1331 graduate of the College of Engineering and Architecture, Holder said: "Experience should aid you in avoiding the repitition of past mis lakes, but that basic ability of using your mind to observe, ana lyze, deduce and decide should be exercised." Hol der said he had observed countless situations in which young engineers in this general age group Lave been able to grasp some spe cial clue, to suggest some novel approach, or even to recaQ some previously proved concept which has somehow been overlooked by a more experienced man. "It came as ouite a surprise to me when I first noticed instanc es of such a nature, but with sub sequent repetitions of gimSiar sit uations, that surprise has given way to strong pride in the fact that younger men need never sen themselves short on the score of thinking ability Home Ec Club To Sponsor Smorgasbord Swedish and American (dishes wffl be the feature of the annual Swedish Smorgasbord sponsored by the Home Economics dub to be held Saturday evening in fht Food and Nutrition Building from 5:39 pji to 7:29 pmu Everyone is invited to attend.
