twenty-five years of my connection
with the University," staed Dr. Pool,
faculty member of the Council, in a
discussion which preceded the offer
ing of an amendment, "and the pro
bation seems to have become milder,
but it is still bringing unfavorable
comment upon the fraternity sys-
After the meeting was called by
the chairman, faculty member h. l.
Schramm, the subject of the meet
ing was stated as probation week,
and Doctor Pool was called upon to
give his views on the question. Doc
tor Pool is an old friend of the frat
ernity system, but expressed his dis
pleasure with the way in which the
so-called "picked men" of the Uni
versity were conducting themselves
in this matter which concerns their
very existence.
Frankforter Expree Views
"We know that fraternities are
doing good work," explained Profes
sor C. J. Frankforter, third faculty
member, "but do the outsiders? You
fraternity men parade your silly ao
tions before everyone, but keep your
good actions concealed. This is not
true of all of the Nebraska fraterni
ty's, but the action of any one re
flects upon the entire system."
Two years ago the Interfraternity
Council limited the time of probation
week to three days, and ruled that
all probation should be carried on
within the respective fraternity
homes. There were few violations of
the latter rule, but the activities car
ried on within the homes left their
marks upon the pledges.
All signs and notices collected by
students staying at dormitories at
Brown university have been confis
ticated by the police force and faculty.

top by irregular study or thought."
The faculty is always glad to help
students, for that is one of their
duties. Miss Conklin stated that any
student could get valuable informa
tion and pointers, if they would take
the trouble to get in touch with the
instructors.
Student Have Not Changed Much
Miss Conklin believes that stu
dents are the same now as they were
years ago. They have much greateT
opportunity to learn, due to 'the
great advance in methods and know
ledge. But they also have the car, the
radio, phonograph and the airplane
which has a tendency to rush things
too much. Living in fraternity and
sorority houses has a tendency to
limit the amount of privacy and se
clusion which is advisable to proper
thougltt. "How many students now
take the time to sit in a secluded
place and really think seriously about
what they are doing,or whether they
are doing it right?" asked Miss Con
klin emphatically. Her tone implied
the answer not very many.
Miss Conklin has been a leader in
romance language circles for many
years, and has been studying her
chosen subject since she was a child.
She lays down no set rules for learn
ing new languages. She believes that
merely keeping in mind those fac
tors which are necessary to success
in any line of endeavor, will bring
advancement , quicker in language
than in any other subjects of study.
Grummann Says Art
Exhibit Is Outstanding
(Continued from Page 1)
school of painting without the stiff,
posed figures one finds in many of
the old works; there is the modern
naturalness and simplicity without
the modern splashy, riotous coloring
and carelessness in execution.
This picture tells its story well,
nothing could be more real than the
elderly cattle buyer, perfectly bal
anced on his horse, while judging a
herd of cattle grazing in the valley.
Painting of Tao I Good
Berninghaus "One of the Old Men
of the Pueblo" is a painting of Taos.
It is one of the big pictures of the
exhibit according to Professor Crum
mann who considers it marvelously
well done.
Robert Brackman in painting "In
My Studio" evidently was concen
trating himself on the portrait rather
in the background. The portrait it
self is very good, showing the mod
ern style, but the background is poor
in perspective and the room has a
sort of a squeezed appearance .
A picture by Geroge Luks is sure
to attract great attention for Luks
is one of the most prominent of liv
ing painters. In his picture, "The
Breaker Boys" he shows a skillful
use of largo masses. This picture is
done in a powerful manner and has
to be viewed from a proper angle to
be appreciated to the full extent.
One lady found that she enjoyed the
picture much more if she formed a
sort of a telescope with her hands
and looked at the picture with one
eye.
"Nude" Wa Awarded Prifce
"Nude" by Samuel Halpert was
awarded the Norman Waite Harris
Bronze Medal, valued at $300. TV
opinion of this picture by visitors to
the exhibit varies greatly. The fig
ure of the woman is done in a very
realistic manner, but the background
is rather scenic.
"Portrait" by Helen Wilson is a
charming picture and is done very
well." Miss Wilson is a local artist.
The Chicago Art Institute, from
which this exhibit was obtained, has
selected pictures from the newer ar
tists to a great extent. This
creates an interest in the exhibit for
it offers Lincoln people opportunity
to see the works of artists who have
never exhibited in Lincoln before.
Etchings Are Shown
Along with the exhibition of paint
ings there are an exhibition of the
Gregg collection of etchings and a
display of original cartoons.
The&e exhibitions which will close
March 17, are open every day, and
the University has made arrange
ment that all students in the Univer
sity may view, them at no cost to
the students. Student interest in
the exhibits has been increasing,
there being over a hundred visitors
in the galleries last Sunday.
