One portion of the gallery is giv en over entirely to creative compo sition work. Some of this will prob ably be worked up on canvas later. One of the most unusual displays is that of work done by the china paint ing and pottery classes. It includes many unique jars, bowls and vases, the patterns being strikingly differ ent There are some notable pieces of modeling which were done under the direction of Dwight Kirsch. The post er section of the exhibit has attract ed much attention by its originality and variety. Many of the posters are excellent examples of illustra tion combined with letter work. There are also many attractive dis plays in charcoal drawings, oil paint ings and interior decorating, which cause much comment from visitors. Some mask woik, from the clashes conducted by Rose Bagdanoff, is also on display. Hand-tooled leather work, gesso work and batik are fea tures of the exhibit This exhibit is said to be the most successful held for several years. Dis plays are on view from the following classes: Stage design, lettering, in terior decoration, life drawing, com position, perspective illustration, de sign, applied arts, stage arts, china painting and clay modeling. A professor at the University of Colorado says that the college wo man lacks reserve and individuality. Have The greenhouses of the University of Nebraska are not show places as I many of the students believe but they are used for experimental purposes. Most of the experiments are with crop plants. W. H. Dunman, landscape gard aner and head of the campus upkeep lepartment since 1909, is in charge A the University's greenhouses. There is not enough work in the greenhouses to keep one man busy so Jie campiu upkeep department takes care of them. Plants are grown in the three city campus greenhouses, each fifty feet by twenty feet r the botany de partment and several thousand plants are grown as decorative ma terial for the campuses. Several thousand plants were eeiit to tha Ne braska School of Agriculture at Curt is this week to be used in beautify ing the campus. The greenhouses are used as experimental laboratories for plant physiology and plant ecol ogy classes. George Swale, who has been here for fourteen years, is care taker of the city campus and the greenhouses located there. Dr. J. E. Weaver, professor of ec ology snd of the Carnegie Institute of Washington, D. C, is using a part of the greenhouse for experimental work. The summer' work has Just begun and his assistants for the sum WILL PRESENT TWO ORATORIOS University Chorus and Orches tra to Appear (Last Time This Year. CHORUS COMPOSED OF MORE THAN 250 PARTS The University chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond and accompanied by the University Orchestra, will culminate an especi ally successful year with the presen tation of two oratorios. , "Scenes from the Saga of King Olaf," which was composed by Edward Elgar, will besung at 11 o'clock Friday in the Memorial Hall. The story of the oratorio has come from a book of legends of the dead kings of Norway. Thor, the great thunder god, in the firstsong, issues a challenge to the god of peace. King Olaf, hearing tha. challenge, answers it and a battle with Ironbeard, Thor's representative, results. The fall of Ironbeard in the struggle causes Thor's followers to question his pow er and strength and in consequence, they turn to the faith of Olaf. The moral truth embodied in the Oro torio is that peace is greater than war, and love greater than anger.' Subtle, intensely dramatic music ac centuates the heroic theme of the production. Many of the scores, such as the Conversion scene and Epi logue, are characterized by their depths of emotion. The role of King Olaf will be sung by Edward Ellingson, that of Iron beard, by Herman Decker. Other solo parts will be sung by Joy Schacf fer, soprano; Hobart Davis, tenor; and Dwightt Merriam, bass. The chorus portrays a group of skalds, or bards, who participate in tthe nar ration of the Saga, personifying for the moment important characters. The theme and atmosphere of "The Creation," which will be presented at 3 o'clock Sunday, is of a vastly different nature from that of "Scenes from the Saga of King Olaf." "The Creation," by Hayden, i sdrawn from the book of Genesis, and follows the progress of the six (Continued on Page Two.)

Many Interesting Plants mer are Dr. Herbert Hanson, Prof, i T. J. Fitzpatrick, Samuel Shively, Ruth Vernon and Frank Yearsley. The work is a part of a three-year program on "plant competition." They are experimenting with wheat in an effort to show what water, nu trition and soil have to do with the growth of the plant Doctor Weaver and Dr. F. E. Clemens, both of the V Carnegie In stitute of Washington, D. C, are the authors of a recent book, entitled, "Experimental Vegetation," contain ing experiments and their 'results that were performed at the Universities of Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado. A letter received recently by Doctor Weaver from a man in India states that he is using material from the book. There are about 100 different kinds of plants grown in the three green houses, and several of these have many varieties. There are sixty var ieties of cactus, twelve varieties of palms, including six species of the sago palm, and eight varieties of ferns. The orchids, perhaps the most val uable, were sent to Dr. E. R. Walk er, of the botany department, about twelve years - ago. These plants bloom during the Christmas holidays.

(Continued jon Page Three.) greenhouses and it does not get a chance to bear fruit A giant cactus sent to Nebraska from Arizona by the late Dr. G. E Bessey in 1909 must be cut down frequently to keep it from shatter ing the glass roof. Students have carved their initials on one trunk as they would carve them in a tree. There is a small acquariura, con taining gold fish, where the acquatic plants are grown for the botany de partment. A few of the common plants grown in the greenhouses are: lilies, ger aniums, nasturtiums, moss, castors, sun flowers, petunias, krotins the source of krotin oil tomatoes, beans and cabbage. A jar containing a plant is placed horizontally on a machine, run by lock-work, that turns the plant around so slowly that it is impossible to see the plant move with the naked eye. This, machine is used for ex perimental purposes. The College of Agriculture has six greenhouses, each fifty feet by twen ty feet. These are used by the hort icultural department and plants are grown for the campuses as decor ative material. They " are used as experimental laboratories by the plant pathology and plant entomolgy classes. The greenhouses are in op eration from October to May, closing during the hot weather. OIKIA CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS Wilton U N.it Year's Haad of Rural Economic Organisation Wednesday evening the Oikia club met and elected the following offi cers for next year: L. Wilson, presi dent; G.

Mickey, chair man of the department of civil engi neering, and Mrs. Mickey, at their home at 19th and C streets. The greenhouses have elaborate equipment for controlling the weath er within the glass shelter. There it an elaborate cooling system con nected with the cooling room and one thousand watt lamps are used as artificial suns. The experiments must go on in any kind of weather so artificial weather is provided. Theri is a close relationship between the weather and prevalence of plasft dis eases. By controlling the weather conditions, ander which plant dis eases are prevalent, the diseases and their prevention cam be carefully studied. The plants to be studied are gut in special cases; the soil tempera ture, air temperature, moisture and light are regulated in any combin ation desired. At present the greenhouses are being used to experiment with the de generation of disease of potatoes and the black stem rust of wheat. Dr. G. L. Peltier of the department of plant pathology is in charge of the experiments with wheat rust and Dr. R. W' .Gross, of the same depart ment, is in charge of the expert' ments with the potato disease. In 1925, 125,000 wheat plants were innociilated with the disease and in one experiment 80,00 were in noculated. Every Monday morning new plants are started, the following (Continued on Page Twd) PRICE 5 CENTS GLEE CLUB IS ON PROBATION Action Taken By Committee On Student Organizations Because of Use of Ineligible Men On Tour. WERE NOT NOTIFIED UNTIL DAY OF TRIP Grant Petition to Change Name of Women's Self -Government Association to Associated Women Students. Announcement was made yester day that the Glee Club of the Univer sity would be placed on probation for one year because it used men scho lastirally ineligible on its annual tour through Nebraska towns this spring. The action was taken at a meeting of the committee on student organ-' izations held Wednesday. The petition of the Women's Self Government Association to have its name changed to Associated Wom en Students was approved by the committe at- its meeting also. The pe tition was made because similar or ganizations in all western universi ties are known by this name, the name Women's Self-Government As sociation being used at a few eastern schools. It was also thought that the old name was misleading since the as sociation does more than act as a self governing body. Punishment in case of the Glee Club is more lenient than in the case of the Kosmet Klub, which was re-, cently suspended for the use of stu dents who were not eligible scholas tically in its musical production, be cause of the fact that the Kosmet Klub was notified sf the ineligibili ties some time before the production while the Glee Club did not know that some of its members were inel igible until the morning of the date set for the trip. In both cases, the individuals in volved will be referred to the com mittee on scholarship. The Glee Club has a financial def icit which was incurred by its trip to Kansas City this winter The Glee Club is in its fourth year of existence at the University. It is composed of men chosen by competi tive tryouts held in the fall. Forty are chosen at the tryouts and from this number the director selects twenty-two men who are taken on the annual tour over the state. Four men are also chosen each year from the Club who act as a Uni versity Quartette, furnishing music at football games and at many other functions.
