Morini Will Open Concert Series
★ Young Austrian Violinist Plays Tomorrow Night in Auditorium
Erica Morini, Austrian violinist,
will begin the University Concert
series, tomorrow night at 8:20 in Hoch
auditorium.
Miss Morir, though now only 27 has a career behind her of nearly two decades. Since her first concert, at the age of five, before Karl then Emporer of Austria, who gave the tiny girl a doll as a reward. Miss Morir has played in almost all corners of the earth.
Miss Morini gives her father credit for her being a concert artist. A story is told about the little Erica who used to play scales for many hours. When her father went away, she would call her little brother and sister into the room and dramatize all sorts of fairy stories for them. When she heard her father returning, she would make a wild dash for her violin and start the scales once more.
She does not like people who listen to her concert and later meet her backstage to talk about her music She likes to be treated as a woman among men and women—not as a stranger apart from everyone else Her ambition is to be liked for herself and not for her music.
Miss Morini has traveled extensively and she says that American women are the most beautiful in the world. Not so good—the American men. The Austrian artist prefers Italians. She thinks a good looking Italian man is the best looking man to be found.
An institution of America that affords Miss Mornii the biggest thrill in this country, is the five and ten centers. As soon as her boat docks and her luggage is cared for, she dashes to the five and ten cepi store, and wanders leisurely among the heavily laden counters.
All University members of the Witan are requested to attend the meeting today in the Memorial Union building at 7
America is a fascinating and exciting place to Miss Morini. She loves the fast pace of the Americas, and she is nothing quite like it in Europe.
Holland, when it wished to pa-
tribute to one of its favorite violin-
ists, Erica Morini, chose to name a
particularly fine species of rose after her. Each time now that she was married, Erica Morini rose who developed the Erica Morini rose has sent a huge bunch to be present to her at the concert hall.
Thus, tomorrow night, the students of the University will hear a woman regarded as the most distinguished of women violinists, and one who is human, like ordinary things, and loves to have a good time.

Free Checkup For Seniors Now Permanent
- Plan Tried Last Year Will Become a Part of The Regular Hospital Service
"A greater health service than ever before" is the phrase used by Dr. R. I. Cametton, director of the University health service, to describe the service offered by Watkins Memorial hospital.
Three hundred seniors were examined during the last school year as an experiment towards the end of examing all seniors before graduation. As a continuation of this idea, it is the intention this year to offer a complete physical examination and health appraisal to all students who will be graduated next spring.
Seniors are especially benefited by recent extension of services which was tried out last year and proved successful. This plan for physical examinations for seniors in a regular hospital benefit to students.
The fundamental object of these tests will be to become acquainted with the physical needs of the students, but a very closely related and important part of them will be the opportunity of the student to have a hands-on experience in medical and physical concern. It is intended to be a complete clinic.
Appointments are to be made following receipts of letters sent out each month in alphabetical order. The hospital hopes to be able to examine 100 students each month and so in the duration of the school year to cover the entire class. The examinations will be made on week days during regular dispensary hours. It will require from thirty to forty-five minutes to put the student through all the necessary laboratory tests.
Also possible is the larger dispensary regular service. Hospital records show that where 200 calls in past years made an unusually heavy day, it is the average number calling this year. One week's dispensary list, picked at random, shows a number of 1,929 cases.
“Students of the senior class and under-classmen,” said Dr. Canuteson, “should avail themselves of the opportunity offered by the medical staff and complete service of the Watkins Memorial hospital.

Mr. Ingham will preside at the banquet this evening.

Goal Posts Go Back To Lincoln With Grid Victory
The football game wasn't the only thing Nebraska got away with Saturday. Stymied in their attempts to get the goal posts immediately after the game by a hostile band of Jayhawker fans, and later kept away from the "trophies" by a guarding freshman football team, the Husken throng came back after dark, took the cross bar and one upright from the south goal, and husted away to board their special train.
Nebraksa's delegation also tried to take the Theta Tauri prize-winning "Slot Machine" float back to Lahaina. But she was "No!" and it was left at the station.
The band's thermometer which was housed at Hoch auditorium was not to be found after Saturday night. Wonder who got that?
