Adult Needs
For Education
An official of the Fund for Adult
Education said in Lincoln, Friday
that "it is difficult to see bow our
free society can be maintained and
becomes a continuing endeavor of
ajujt population."
j.
Listing discussion as one means
in developing the personal and
common understanding necessary
Blakey expiajned that discussion
jj and g(
rni which differences of
opinion are widest, is particularly
appropriate for adults, darws upon
other methods of increasing under
standing, and is most fru'tful when
it has sequence and order.
Discussion achieves qualities
which are necessary for a free
citizen in a free society, Elakley
said. These qualities are that: "A
free man should understand him
self and human nature, respect and
exemplify reason, and know bow
to deal with problems."
According to Blakely, discussion
embodies the essence of the demo
cratic process in general through
freedom of expression, controversy,
and leadership.
Mr. Blakely also spoke on "Tele
vision in the Service of Individuali
ty" at the luncheon. The one-day
program was sponsored jointly by
the Universities of Omaha and

Ellington to Provide Dance Music
Duke Ellington--America's geni
us of modern music and his
famed orchestra have been booked
for the 1957 Homecoming Dance
Nov. 2, according to Corn Cobs
President Gordon Warner.
Tickets will go on sale the week
of Oct. 21, Warner said.
Price is $3 per couple, a hike
of 25 cents over tickets last year
but still below he $3.50 figjre
two years ago when Ray Anthony
provided the Honiecoming music.
Charlie Spivak and his orchestra
and the Hilltoppers played last
year.
Tickets will be . on sale at the
Union by members of Tassels and
Corn Cobs, sponsors of the annual
dance climaxing Homecoming ac
tivities. Although he has been hailed as
Amerca's leading jazz composer
by European critics, Ellington
claims, "There's no longhair mu
sic and no jazz music there's
just music."
A pace-setting stylist since 1927,
the Duke is said to have con
tributed rtsore to modern music
in originality, melodic material
and arranging technics, than any
other contemporary.
His arrangements, with a subtle
by play of reeds against brasses
and piano against orchestra, have
anenlpd tn all ase eroups. The
Duke has played in the U.S., Ca
nada and Europe to every kind of
audience, voung and old, highbrow
and lowbrow, in dance halls and
concert halls, theaters and audi
toriums, and once, in Paris, in a
bombproof shelter.
His concerts, once labsled "Jazz
Concert by Ellington." new are
billed as modern music by "Duke
i Ellmeton and His Orchestra."
j Hg is an annuai attraction at
the Philharmonic in Los Angeles,
Civic Opera in Chicago and the
Academy Hall in Philadelphia.
In 1943, Ellington became the
first big bandleader to invade Car-
negie Hall, setting a fashion which
h.. since seen "jazz" welcomed

Newoort to the Hollywood bowl.
