Thii year marks the tenth full
season for the Madrigal Singers,
as they plan the highlight of their
Christmas season, their annual
concert to be held Thursday at
7:30 p.m. in the Union Ballroom.
Madrigal singing means unac
companied and recreational sing
ing, according to John Moran, the
director of the concert, although,
he added that on Thursday night
the singers would be accompanied
duri2 some of the carols,
Ttie Madrigal Singers of the
present carry on that 16th and
17th highly developed art of sing
ing, Moran said. They have re
vived the old idea of music Into
style which has become quite
popular all over the country.
Moran explained that in the 16th
and 17th century, the people would
gather at the home of one per
son, eat, sit at the tables and
sing. The programs today are
presented while the singers are
seated around a table, covered
with white cloths and set with
candles, goblets and a punch bowl
in traditional 16th century Madri
gal style.
It was considered a social grace
in those times to be able to fting
the light, delicate, precise style,
and if a person could play his
part well in the Madrigal, be was
considered desirable.
The listeners are meant to think
of the performance as a gathering
of good friends to enjoy good mu
sic, conversation, refreshments
and the evening together.
The subject matter of madrigals
ranges through every conceivable
facet of life religion, politics,
dancing, drinking, card-playing,
conversation, nature, death and all
other phases of human thought
and experience.
The twenty-one members of the
select group at the University in
clude outstanding sophomores and
freshmen, who dont necessarily
have to be music majors.
This year's Madrigal concert is
being sponsored by the University
music Department and the Union
Music Committee.
IFC To Hold
Christmas
Party Tonight
Seventy-five children from C
dars Home, Whitehall and Tabitha
Home will be the honored guests
at the IFC Orphans Christmas
Party to be held Wednesday from
7-8:30 p.m. in the Union Ballroom,
according to Jim Whitaker, o
chairman.
Entertainment will be provided
by Dave Meisenholder at the or
gan, Jim Peterson playing his ban
jo and the Lincoln High Girl's
Octet. Santa Gaus will then dis
tribute gifts to each of th or
phans and refreshments will bo
served.
The Junior IFC and three mem
bers from each fraternity will at
tend the party.
"We are asking the co-operation
of all the fraternities to make this

okl spirit boosting standbys. This
year, director Donald Lent has
added a few new touches includ
ing the playing of the school song,
"There Is No Place Like Nebras
ka" after the national anthem mvi
while the players are lining up on
the floor.
Here again the crowd has shown
its enthusiasm by rising and join
ing in with the words. Monday,
most of them sang with gusto and
those who didn't know the words
were humming the melody.
Still another place where spirit
begins cannot be overlooked. The
Nebraska bench often inspired the
crowd to further cheering by ris- j
ing from their seats to applaud a j
great play by their mates on the
floor. Bush said of his team, "All
the teams IVe had down here
have had good' spirit All the boys
get up around the huddle this year ,
and they all yell."
Bush's club has also pleased the :
crowd with the fancy passing and
shooting drills they go through be-1
fore the game. "The main thing on
the warmups," according to Bush,
"is to get the boys loosened up."
However, the warmup also loos
ens up the crowd. Fans sitting be
hind the scorers desk Monday re
marked that they came early to
watch Nebraska warm up.
