Upon these walls will be hung paint

WEATHER REPORT
For Lincoln and Vicinity: Fair
Tuesday: continued mild tempera
ture. For Nebraska: Fair Tuesday.
Weather Conditions
Fair weather and moderate tem
peratures prevail throughout the
central portion of the country ex
cept for snow flurries in Minne
apolis and North Dakota. Temper
atures are moderately low in the
northern Rocky Mountain region
and below zero in the western
Canadian Provinces, but falling
pressure on the north Pacific
coast is extending eastward and
will prevent that cold air from
reaching Nebraska.

E. L. Fireoved and Volte Torrey
Recipients of $500 Awards
For Business Research
Two $500 scholarships have been
awarded to University of Nebraska
students; Mr. E. L. Fireoved, and
Volta Torrev. The scholarships are
given by Miller & Paine and Mrs.
TT PnHtrA.
.
C. H. Rudg
Mr. Fireoved attended the Kansas

extent, and their interrelations.
Mr. Volta Torrey, the second of
the two to receive awards, has re
signed his scholarship, to take a posi
tion on the staff of the Daily Okla
homan at Oklahoma City.
Mr. Fireoved was well known in
College Y. M. C. A. work and was

Club. He was a member of the de
bate team in 1925-26. Mr. Torrey
was also editor of The Daily Nebras-
kan

Miss Harrison to Talk
At Vespers This Evening
Miss Agatha Harrison, a faculty
member of a college of economics
in London and an authority on
industrial relations in China will
speak at Vespers this evening at
Ellen Smith Hall on the subject
"Industrial Conditions in China."
Mary Louise Freeman will be
the leader of the meeting.
the artist by Professor Grummann.
This collection Is distinctive of its
type since it illustrates the history of
painting.
The art galleries are located on
the second floor adjacent to tho cor
ridor and are in themselves a strik
ntr model of simplicity and beauty.
The greatest convenience of this dis-
Dlav is in the improved lighting sys
tem. During the day these rooms are
lighted with the natural light and
after dork an artificial light from
the same source is substituted. In
these snaclous rooms will be given
exhibitions of various art societies,
the first of which is to be presented
by the Nebraska Art Association
starting February 9.
"In my estimation, this is the most
beautiful building in the State of
Nebraska," states Professor Paul II.
Grummann, director of the Department-of
Fine Arts. "It Is a monu
ment on the University campus of
which we should be very proud."
Of interest to people connected
with the University in any way, is
the fact that the architects who de
signed this wonderful structure are
Ellery Davis and Walter Wilson',
both graduates of the University.
COLISEUM HOUSES
STATE CONVENTION
Annual Session of Nebraska Retail

Structure This Week
The University Coliseum is the
scene of many interesting hardware
displays of the twenty-sixth Annual

Geo. S. Brinton, Director.
During the noon hour of every
day of the convention the University
Temple Cafeteria will serve lunches
to the members of the Convention.
The Coliseum has been of use to the
public of Lincoln in recent months,
since it has provided a place spacious
enouirh for conventions and other
large meetings. Secretary G. H. Dietz
of the Association is in charge of the
convention and expects eight hun
dred firms including jobbers and
manufacturers to be represented at
the convention.

New Publication Makes
Appearance on Campus,
Is Edited by Students
Explaining its aim as that of an
independent organ of both student
and faculty opinion, "The Campus
Review," a new publication, made its
appearance Monday morning. The
new paper refutes any idea that it
is displacing any other University
publication, but adheres, editorially,
to the need for an unofficial platform
of campus opinion, and invites con
tributions and opinions from both
faculty and students on all phases
and problems of University life.
Publication of Prof. A. H. Jen
sen's letter to Chancellor Avery to
gether with articles on All Univer
sity Night, Y. M. C. A., and Nebras
ka's newest magazine, "The Prairie
Schooner," a-e the more important
items, with editorial explanation or
the purpose of the publication.
An editorial board of twenty-six
university students brought out the
'first issue, which, if well-received,
will be followed with subsequent
copies.

REGENTS TO ASK
FORMORE MONEY
Recommend Appropriation of
$125,000 to Equip New
Hospital Wing
ADDITION IS INSPECTED
Meeting at the College of Medi
cine at Omaha, Saturday, the Board
of Regents of the University of Ne
braska, with Acting Chancellor E. A.
Burnett and Dr. J. J. Kecgan, dean
of the College of Medicine, unani
mously recommended that a bill pro
viding for an appropriation of $125,
000 for equipment of the nearly com
pleted hospital wing be introduced
at the next meeting of the legisla
ture. This was decided to be absolutely
necessary since the $400,000 recom
mended for the University by the
governor in his budget is for new
buildings alone and cannot be used
for equipment.
Governor Makes Suggestion
In a letter to the Chamber of Com
merce, Governor McMullen last week
suggested that the necessary money
for equipment be taken out of the
$400,000 fund, providing it is ap
propriated. "The governor reduced the main
tenance appropriation of the univer
sity $350,000 in his budget," said
Dr. Keegan, "It had been planned to
take care of equipment for the new
wing out of this fund, but even that
is impossible no win the face of this
reduction, which leaves only barely
enough money to maintain present
buildings."
The new wing will increase the
maintenance expense of the univer
sity between 50 and 75 thousand dol
lars annually and this will further
deplete the reduced maintenance ap
propriation. According to Dr. Keegan the re
gents were unanimous that "it is im
perative that the new building here
be equipped and operated at once,
and to allow it to stand idle for two
years, until another legislature
meets, would be a very serious mat
ter." Approve Degrees

VESPERS SPEAKER
TO DISCUSS CHINA
Miss Agatha Harrison, Authority on
Chinese Industrial Conditions,
To Visit the Campus
Miss Agatha Harrison, interna
tional authority on conditions in
China, and a memper of the faculty
of a college of economics in London,
will be in Lincoln Tuesday and Wed
nesday to talk with university women
on industrial conditions in China in
connection with the Grace Coppock
memorial drive which will be held
the first of March. Miss Harrison
was called by Grace Coppock, who at
the time was national secretary of
the Y. W. C. A in China, to study
conditions of the Chinese working
girl and it was through her work that
much of the reform legislation in in
dustrial conditions was brought
about.
Besides speaking at vespers, Miss
Harrison will talk to two special
groups which will meet Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock and Wednes
day afternoon at 3 o'clock. All uni
versity women who are to work on
teams on the Grace Coppock drive
are asked to attend one of these spe
cial meetings which will be held at
Ellen Smith Hall.
The city Y. W. C. A. is piving a
luncheon for Miss Harrison Wednes
day noon for Lincoln women at the
city building.
means of this party, to promote a
better spirit of friendliness and co
operation among the feminine mem
bers of the junior class, and the suc
cess of this attempt will determine
the possibilities of future parties of
this kind.
The type of party should, in itself.
insure the attainment of its motive,
for is there any other class of hu
manity in the world where more
friendliness, more staunch loyalty
between members, prevails than in
iis universally scattered happy-go-
lucky societyi
The more characteristically hobo
the attire, the more thoroughly in
formal the spirit of this "bum" get-
together, the more successful the
party is bound to be and the more
apt to accomplish the purpose de
sired.
Tickets may be obtained from any
Silver Serpent or at the College Book
Store.
The women in charge of the party
are:
Grace Elizabeth Evans, general
chairman; Elinor Borreson, enter
tainment; Ruth Clendenin; Alice Les
lie; Florence Swihart, publicity.
