sign, modeling, ana gesso win

to the public every day from 9 to 5

According to Prof. Paul Grum-
mann, director of the Scnooi oi rme
Arts, the recent exhibition of the Ne-
which has
just closed, was one of the most suc
cessful of the last few years. Prof.
Grummann est maies wai
sons a day for sixty days, including

University and arVadmirers from
over the state visited the gallery
during the exhibition.
This annual exhibition inciuaea

Art from the national gauery -Washington;

NEBRASKA, LINCOLN,
The snake has fasted for four weeks
in Lincoln, and he probably had no
food for several weeks before his
arrival here in a carload of bananas
consigned to a fruit company.
Newspaper stories of the recalci
trant conduct of the Central Ameri
can visitor attracted considerable at
tention over the state, and severpl
letters were received by Dr. R II.
Wolcott, chairman of the zoology de
partment, concerning the care which
should be given snakes from warmer
climates than that of Nebraska.
Needs Mouth Washes.
Milk baths and olive oil rubs were
the treatments suggested by Mrs. L.
M. Garman, who has had experience
in theatrical work with snakes from
the tropics. Mouth washes of dis
enfectants" must be used, she says,
to prevent infection.
Luis liked the idea of the milk
bath very well, if one may judge
from his conduct, for he has been in
and out ever since the milk was put
in a dish in his wire cage in Bessey
hall 101 a few days ago. The milk
has soured, but Luis' disposition has
not, for he is now a brighter and
happier snake. The theory of the
milk bath is that the boa will ab
sorb some of the nourishment from
the milk through his skin.
The olive oil bath and mouth wash
have not yet been tried, for Dr. Wol
cott does not wish to overwhelm the
snake with attention. He wants Luis
to feel at home as much as possible
in his restricted quarters, and so he
has decided to wait a few days be
fore trying the olive oil rub.
Do Not Know Purpose.
The purpose of the oil rub is not
known for certain. It may be that
the snake is supposed to absorb
nourishment, as with the mjlk. On
the other hand, bright young stu
dents of the department have sug
gested that the rubs are to keep
Luis supple and in good condition,
much as a contortionist is supposed
to anoint himself with angle-worm
oil.
Besides Luis' refusal to eat, there
is another matter which is bother
ing the members of the zoology de
partment somewhat they think that
Luis may have been slandered. Luis
may not be Luis, but Luisa depart
ment members do not know. Luis
or Luisa refuses to be interviewed,
and turns all newspapermen away
with a five-foot shrug of his or her
shoulder.
BERGE GIVES TALK AT
WASHINGTON MEETING
Addresses Law-enforcement
Conference on "The Stu
dent as a Citizen"
Wendell Berge, '25, gave an ad
dress on "The Student as a Citizen
in College," at a banquet Saturday
night at a law-enforcement confer
ence held in Washington, D. C, April
5 and 6, attended by representative
from more than 150 colleges and uni
versities. The conference, which was called
by the .Citizen's Committee of One
Thousand, was for the purpose of
creating student opinion in favor of
strict observance of the law.
In his address, Mr. Berge pointed
out that laws result from the will of
the people. He emphasized the fact
that the students, who are the citi
zens of tomorrow, must cultivate a
respect for the law. Senator Morris
Sheppard of Tennessee presided at
the banquet. Addresses were given
by Senators W. E. Borah of Idaho
and Carter Glass of Virginia.
Saturday afternoon Mr. Berge lead

of what is being done in universities

teenth amendment. Saturday the
delegates were received at the White
House and were addressed by Presi
dent Coolidge. Student delegates
and faculty representatives from
many of the large schools of the
country attended the meeting.

pose of discussing law enforcement
problems will be held by Mr. Berge

NATIVE COSTUMES
Foreign Students Sing and
Dance at International
University Night.
ONE-ACT PLAY BY
TAGORE IS STAGED
The first international university
night, sponsored by the Cosmopolitan
club of Nebraska, was presented last
night at the Temple theater by va
rious groups of foreign students in
native costumes.
In the opening scene Filipino, Ger
man, Spanish, Dutch and Russian na
tional dances were given by stu
dents in native costumes under the
direction of Fred Goldstein. These
were followed by a camp-fire scene
in the woods of Germany where folk
songs were sung in the native tongue.
"Chitra," a one-act play by Ta-
gore, was presented by three Indian
students and Miss Laura Rooney.
This play is well-known in Lincoln
and was recommended by Dean Philo
M. Buck, Jr., who spent considerable
time in India last year ctudyii.; In
dian customs and traditions.
The Japanese skit, presented in
two scenes, first a "living Japanese
picture," and then several dances
in Japanese costumes. , Amy Martin
gave several vocal selections in ac
companiment to the dances.
The Philippine Island play was

tend school in America. The young
man tells his friends of his expec
tations of life in the land of opjv.r
tunity. After five years in America
he returns to his friends in his own
country and relrtes bis experiences
and impressions of America. When
his story is finished and the curiosity
of his friends in regard to his newly
acquired' ideas is satisfied, the party
is ended by a native Philippine dance.
DEAN BUCK WRITES ON
mi
Discusses Political Condition
of India in Yale Review
Article.
"What India Wants," is the sub
ject of a twenty-five page article by
Dean Philo M. Buck, Jr., published
in the April issue of the Yale Re
view. This article is a result of
Dean Buck's stay of six months at
the University of Bombay as ex
change professor under the auspices
of the Carnegie Institute of Inter
national Education.
Dean Buck discusses the condi
tions in India which are making many
of the educated and intellectual per
sons advocate a change in govern
ment a breaking away from Brit
ish authority. Some persons are
more radical and demand complete
separation from authority and cap
ital, but others would , keep trained
experts and advisors. The common
people are for the most part uncon
cerned. Some leaders attempt to
prescribe for India's ills with other
schemes of crushing industrialism,
with a return of the family spin
ning wheel and the like.
Needs Personal Understanding
In drawing his own conclusions,
Dean Buck states, "What India wants
and needs is a return to the personal
understanding between the govern
ment and the people. How this cun
be achieved, and trust and confidence
again be established, is a question
for Indian and English statesmen.
Sympathy, trust, understanding,
these are big words; they mean
leadership in the widest possible
sense."
Dean Buck advocates government
al co-operation with the Indian Na
tional Congress at which the only
European present was an American
college professor.
"The Indian is not difficult of ap
proach," continues Dean Buck. "He
is quick to respond to sympathy, far
quicker than most people, and he
can trust further than most when
trust is called forth by sympathy, if
once a basis can be found for co-operation
by getting together 11 Lhe
various conflicting political snd so
cial interests in the country, the fu
ture is reasonably secure. But if
not, there are darker days ahead for
the Indian statesmen and the Brit
ish administition."

states, and the work will continue,

the first time last year by the Univer

afford rifle practice at 200 yards and
pistol practice at regular distances.
The target pits are also being put
in order for spring use. Each man
will probably fire about sixty rounds
a day. The department plans to use
trucks to transport men to the range.
