THE DAILY NEBRASKAN THREE Engineers Sche dule Ball for Week of Ivy Day BOARD SELECTS Wcrkmeistor Continues As Professor in Germany FORENSIC TEAMS 10 Campus CAPS and QOIDNS IN THREE STATES SUNDAY, FEBKUARY 7, 1937. ARRANGE MEETS M'CORMICK HEAD COMMIITEE Ed Schmidt Warned to Help Secure Orchestra, Underwriting. Plans for an Engineering ball to be held on the university campus either during the week of Ivy day or the weekend preceding were made by the engineering executive board at a meeting laat Friday. Pete Burns, president of Engineers week, announced that Weldon Mc Cormick will head the committee to select an orchestra and secure the various societies of the engi neering college to cooperate in un derwriting the ball. He will be aided by Ed Schmidt. Committees for engineering week have beeri selected but will not be announced until the eligibil ity of all members have been checked. Burns informed the group that two plaques will be awarded for the most sales of ribbons to be worn by engineering students dur ing the week. Each of the six so cieties is expected to enter and sales will be computed on the point basis in proportion to the number of men belonging to each society. Convocation Feb. 11. The first convocation to be spon sored by the board will be held on Feb. 11 in Social Science audito rium. Although the speaker has not been selected, he will probably be one of the chief engineers on the Oakland-San Francisco bridge as that will be the topic for discus sion. A second convocation will be held in the near future but Lowell Newmeyer, president of the board, was unable to name the date. Other plans discussed at the board meeting were those for the annual Field Day on Friday after Ivy Day. A banquet will be held on that evening for all engineering faculty members and students. Al though tentative plans had been made to rewrite the constitution of the organization, the board decided to let the constitution stand and to add by-laws as the meetings pro gress. The engineering executive board is composed of two members of the Student Council, two on Blue print, engineering publication and two members from each of the six engineering societies. Engineers Plan Renovation in Old E. E. Building The old. outmoded electrical en gineering building at the univer sity is being rearranged for the purpose of providing greater of fice space and more room for re search. According to Prof. Oscar Edison, associate professor of electrical engineering, the present arrangement of floor space has existed for about 17 years. When renovation is complete, Professor Edison, who has been occupying the extreme south office, will be moved directly across the hall, the other members of the electrical engineering faculty moving up a notch. This building was once the home of the mechanical engineering de partment and after the erection of a new mechanics building in 1910 the electrical engineering de partment took over the older structure from their former Ioca tion in the old mechanic arts building. For several years the electrical engineering staff had to share their "new" home with the campua carpenters, this arrange- Tryouts For Season 1937-38 THE LINCOLN CATHEDRAL CHOIR B-5185 C.

The carpen ters were then moved to their present position in the west sta dium. Professor Edison expects the new offices to be ready within a few days. In spite of this more efficient arrangement of the floor space the electrical engineering building will continue to be in adequate. The problem of accom modating larger classes is becom ing more acute each year, it was pointed out. WORK OF GEORGE GROSZ FEATURESART DISPLAY Current Exhibition Shows Paintings of Famed German Artist. Original paintings and drawings by George Grosz, expatriate Ger man artist now of New York City, have been the source of much in terest and comment during their showing in the fine arts depart ment of the university.

According to Dwight Kirsch, chairman of the fine arts depart ment, students and visitors have been more excited by Grosz's work than by any other which has been recently exhibited. Some, respond ing to the dramatic quality of the pictures and the daringly individual use of color, like them instantly. Others object to the subject mat ter, or find them too "modern." But no one can look at them and remain utterly indifferent. They are definite in character, and their challenge is not merely that of a surface interest, say critics. Heralded by artists thruout the country. Grosz's works command high prices and are enthusiastically sought by collectors. Essentially urban, the paintings reflect the ex citement, chaos, and cruelty of a metropolis. But humor is not lack ing, for Grosz is a skillful carica turist who sees the incongruities of human nature but is not too bit ter about them.
