FEBRUARY
Historically speaking, February is the “stuff”!
Saint Valentine thought this the best of months to start
something. February saw the Confederacy formed. It finish-
ed up a little difference between the Frenchmen and the
Tomahawk men. The blood-thirsty month made Mary Queen
of Scotts’ head of little use. It introduced the world of the
scalping knife and trail blazing to the first scout. Sadly it
sent Wilson beyond. What would have happened to “Evan-
geline”, the “Hesperus”, or the “Children’s Hour”, we know
not, for luckily February saw that we had Longfellow. Hor-
ace Greeley liked February, too. Just another thing to be
thankful for was the Income Tax Amendment. Did Febru-
ary have a soul when it produced Kreisler? Behold, there
is the father of our country, and here is the emancipator of
bondsmen! The ground-hog has been doing his duty faith-
fully, and even now we are wondering what the decree will
be, death or life to the old overcoat.
Come on, February, keep it up! Give us a break. —M.J.

I DO HEREBY BEQUEATH
From time immemorial people have been pulling other
people’s hair for the simple reason that they did not under-
stand each other. Are we going to let this go on forever
causing war, love, divorces, etc? The answer is “NO”, in-
sofar as the price of a subscription to one PEDAGOG is con-
cerned. Please get this straight and hold it that way for
a while, anyhow. That simple little statement on a certain
little card which is being circulated about on the Hill means
just what it says: “I agree to give my $4.00 Trust Fund in
payment of my 1933 PEDAGOG”. Many students have
been heard to say, “I am not going to sign up for a PEDA-
GOG, because last year they charged me a dollar extra.”
For the benefit of those who have misunderstood the state-
ment on the card, it might be explained that you will NOT
have to pay $1.00 extra for your Pedagog this year. That
$4.00 Trust Fund is all you are required to pay. When you
sign that card, you have your yearbook paid for. The price
of the PEDAGOG has been reduced to this $4.00 Trust Fund
this year to enable more students to get a book. So quit
worrying. As soon as you put your signature on that dot-
ted line you have your book paid for IN FULL.
The reason for this explanation is that The Pedagog still
needs more support to insure a successful publication. Right
now more subscriptions have been sold than were sold last
year, but many more will have to be got to make up for the
cut in the price. Every one of you needs The PEDAGOG,
and The PEDAGOG needs the support of every student.
Please do not be the one who sits and lets the other fellow
carry all the burden. Sign up for The PEDAGOG and you
will have done your part.
OPEN FORUM
Dear Editor:
When in the course of human
events it becomes habitual for the
press to use the editorial page for
superfluous articles, it behooves
those, who revere the olden type of
paper that glorifies rather than
ridicules, to rise in behalf of the
attacked tradition.
Your editorial entitled Retro-
gression can be classified as a
conglomerate mass of two cylinder
words with a superficial meaning
equivalent to “I’m persnickity”.
True enough, the art lovers who
specialize in wood-carving are but
examples of stone age artists. On
the other hand, I rise to defend
the club advertisers, the Pedagog
signs, the class notices and other
forms of announcements that are
posted at strategic points on the
campus. Your extremely resource-
ful idea of a bulletin board should
be praised, glorified and then
chunked into the waste basket.
You also ask for plenty of thumb
tacks for the proposed bulletin
boards. I think the tacks would
fill a much larger obligation to
the world in general, if placed in
the editor’s chair. You neglected
to tell us how you proposed to
get the student body to read these
bulletin boards. True enough, they
should, but when only a small per-
cent of the student body ever
glance at the bulletin board, I feel
that those wishing to call student
attention to any matter should be
allowed to post notices over the
quad unmolested by a torrent of
caustic phrases originated with the
general end of student reform.
Sincerely,
HASSEN BEN SOBER

JOINT CONCERT
REVEALS TALENT
OF HIGH ORDER
By MARJORIE JOHNS
The uninspiring black curtain in
the Auditorium became dignified
but was completely unseen by those
music lovers who attended the con-
cert Friday night, February 3, the
occasion being a joint concert giv-
en by the College Orchestra and
the Fine Arts School of Austin
honoring the birthday of Felix
Mendelssohn.
The music flower from under the
baton of the suave and smiling
conductor, Mr. Harry Warfel. Aus-
tin must be proud to have in its
possession even for a short time
such talent as Mr. Warfel. For-
merly, he played the cornet in the
“March King’s” band. He is now
director of the band at Drake
University, in Iowa, and is on a
leave of absence teaching wood-
wind instruments at the School of
Fine Arts.
The orchestra was composed of
sixteen pieces. Representing the
college were: John Brandstetter,
corpet; J. Morey Brandstetter, vio-
lin; Mabel Ann Brandstetter, sec-
ond violin; and Mrs. W. G. Brand-
stetter, piano.
The program was brief and ex-
cellently rendered. The composi-
tions were well selected and were
the contributions of many of the
best loved musicians. The orches-
tra played superbly the well-known
“Largo” from Handel’s “Xerxes”,
and especially beautiful was the
selection “Cavatina” by Bohm. No-
where on the program was the
“Andante” movement from the
“Surprise Symphony” needed for
its original purpose. It is said
the sudden chords were original-
ly inserted to arouse a gentleman
who persisted in slumbering
throughout the musical concerts of
Haydn.
The famous “Air of the G
String” from Bach was executed
beautifully from the talented bow
of J. Morey Brandstetter. The
selection was played with a quiet,
effective accompanimenet from the
orchestra and was altogether wor-
thy of the admiration of the au-
dience.
Other commendable selections
rendered was the “Fly Minuet” by
Czibulka, the “Overture Mireille”
by Gounod, and the “Cradle Song”
by Nesvera. A solo introduction
of the Nesvera composition iyas
played by John Brandstetter.
The string quartet, composed of
the visiting artists and J. Morey
Brandstetter, presented Tschai-
kowsky’s “Scherzo” and “Andante
Cantabile”, From their repertoire
they delighted the audience with
an encore.
The final number was appro-
priately selected from the compo-
sitions of Mendelssohn, and was
the “Priest March” from “Atha-
lie.”
The close of the concert was
greeted with an applause that
must have told the musicians how
altogether enthralling, satisfying,
and excellent was the evening’s
performance. We owe our appre-
ciation to Mrs. Brandstetter, di-
rector of the orchestra, for giving
us this opportunity, and hope she
will again give us the privilege of
communing with the world of ar-
tists.

Did You Know?
Prof. Nelson coached a winning
girl basketball team back in the
good old days.
Mr. Vordenbaum was one of the
star warblers of the College Glee
Club back in ’14.
The colors of the University of
Texas, Orange and White, were
originated by E. Dick Slaughter
at a baseball game in San Marcos.
In 1899 an attempt was made
to change the University colors to
Maroon and Gold, but the students
voted this down by a large ma-
jority.
Mr. Woodson’s dome was visible
even in his picture in the 1914
Pedagog.
ART CLASS VISITS
AUSTIN MUSEUM
The Art Appreciation is now
studying the works of sculpture,
and has been making group ex-
cursions to Austin to inspect the
Ney Museum. The building itself
displays the personality of its mis-
tress as it breathes forth the air
of the diosyncrasies, the romance
and sorrow, and most of all the
superb genius of the beautiful
Elizabeth Ney.
This year marks the centennial
of Miss Ney, who was a resident
of Texas for twenty-seven years,
and probably the most outstand-
ing woman ever claimed by Amer-
ica. Her most prediminant char-
acteristic was eccentricity. She
dared to demand a career when
woman was an abscured and pro-
tected human being. They stormed
the school of art at Munich, which
was composed solely of men.
Gaining admittance, she dared ask
tutelage of the master sculptor,
Christian Rauch, who hated teach-
ing, and succeeded. Elizabeth Ney
aspired to unbelievable heights,
climbed them with her genous and
personality, and became the fad
of Berlin.
She became the friend of Scho-
penhauer, the great German phil-
osopher, who has said, “Perhaps
you know the sculptress, Ney; if
not you have lost a great deal.”
Miss Ney scorned marriage because
of its consequent subjugation—a
hindrance to all she sought. When
she finally married she refused to
change her name. Miss Ney was
the toast of the courts in Bavaria
when she did the superb statue of
Ludwig II, the “Mad King.” She
executed the busts of Jacob Grimm,
of fairy story fame, of Garibaldi,
the great Italian organizer, Bis-
mark, Wagner, Shopenhauer, King
George V, last King of Hanover,
and many, many more. She be-
came idealistic and produced Pro-
metheus Unbound, a statue of gi-
gantic proportions, portraying the
fabled Prometheus arising.
Miss Ney’s spirit of individua-
lism and utter impulsiveness led
her to America where she finally
settled in the state of Texas.
Here she passed twenty years of
her life clothing herself, associa-
ting with a choice few, still calling
herself Miss Ney, living at Hemp-
stead with her husband, and all
the while being compelled to re-
lease her sculpturing. ■
Because -of her eccentricities,
her son became estranged, and they
were never reconciled. Finally
Texas began to notice her and she
produced two statues, one of Sam
Houston and the other of Stephen
F. Austin, both of which now
stand in the State Capitol in Aus-
tin. Beginning to further the ap-
preciation of art in Texas, she
moved to Austin where she built
what is now the Ney Museum—
here are many sons of Texas ex-
ecuted in marble.

FINLEY HERE TONIGHT
(Continued from Page One)
For the past twenty years Mr.
and Mrs. Finley have cruised the
coastline, packed and camped
through all the wilder mountain-
ous country of the west, from Alas-
ka to Mexico. Their travels have
produced some two hundred thous-
and feet of motion picture film and
over twenty thousand still nega-
tives, which constitute the great-
est photographic record of Amer-
ican wild animal life ever made.
Films Bears and Whales
Among the many interesting
films shown will be a whole series
showing the famous and danger-
ous Kodiak Bear. Another and
perhaps the most amazing of the
series of reels, shows two whales
jumping far into the air and
landing in the water on their
backs. None of the pictures have
ever been shown and bay be seen
only in connection with Mr. Fin-
ley’s personal appearance.
Johnson Praises Work
Martin Johnson, famous for his
“Simba”, “Congorilla”, and other
epic films writes about Finley’s
picture:
“I have had the pleasure of see-
ing five reels of the new films made
in Alaska last summer by Wil-

liam L. Finley of Portland, Ore-
gon, and am pleased to say that
both Mrs. Johnson and myself are
delighted with this beautiful film.
I have never seen finer photo-
graphy than this. Among the
things that stand out in my mind
are the bear pictures and the un-
usual fishing scenes. The antics of
the bears are most amusing, so
much so that I feel certain they
are going to be the most interest-
ing bear pictures that have ever
been made by anyone. Mr. Fin-
ley has handled the Alaskan at-
mosphere and scenery in a most
professional and interesting man-
ner, being absolutely authentic,
and I heartily recommend these
pictures to the public.”

throng which meets all boats, and
a description of the present ap-

which eighteen smaller craters
could be seen, the same being nine
miles wide, and in which the party

ner of preparing these must have
sent many hearers home still hun-
gry. Shouts of laughter greeted
his statements of quantities of
food consumed by the feasters and
the methods used to enable further
indulgence after the eater had be-
come “glazy eyed.”
Altogether, it was a very inter-
esting account of manners and
customs in this island possession
of the United States with its hodge-
podge of humanity from the four
corners of the earth. Many ex-
pressions of appreciation were
voiced to Mr. Blanding after the
talk. Some, however, were some-
what disappointed at the apparent
haste of the speaker which made
his talk seem “memorized.” To
several what Mr. Blanding said
was nothing new, especially those
who had had experience in cooking
over campfires and whose reading
of travel was extensive.
