was contemporary art.
All were by living painters with
the exception of Zuloaga, Spanish
painter of whom nothing certain
is known at the present because
of the confusion incident to the
civil war. The presentation of his
painting, "The Loge", was one of
the most popular with the audi
ence.
Several of the presentations
were made by children ana an
were characterized by plentiful
rich color, as Is the exhibition
proper.

Council looks
into problem
of qg bus line
Committee to suggest
ways of cutting cost
to commuting students
Under the direction of n
committee of the student coun
cil, work is at last under way
in the solution of the ape old
inter-c a in p u s transportation
problem.
Efforts are being made by
the As Intercampus Bus com
mlttee, headed by Iris Johnson and
Arthur Hill, to solidify and organ
ize the opinion of agricultural and
city campus students to give
weight to suggested changes by
the council in the transportation
set-up.
The large transportation cost,
amounting in some cases to $20
or more per person a year, has
been a cause of grief to students
having classes on both campuses
as long as the division between
the two colleges has existed. .
Object to cost.
Arguments presented by inves
tigators to show the existence of
a real problem are based on the
cost of traveling back and rortn
between the two campuses for
classes, on the time taken out of
the regular class periods to catch
buses, and on the belief that ag
students are unable to get their
monev's worth from the Student

Madame Caro-Delyaille
Discusses 'La Provence'
Madame Caro-Dclvaille of Paris,
who makes two annual cross-continent
lecture trips under the
eponsorship of the French Gov'
ernment Tourist bureau, talked
yesterday on "La Provence" for
the French lecture series.
Illustrating her talk with slides,
Madame Caro-De!vaillo stated that
youth has reason to be proud of
its accomplishments but at the
Bame time must remember that it
did not make the earth.
"In the southern part of France
one feels so well the ancient RO'
man influence on the architecture,"
she said. She took her audience
on an Imaginary trip down the
river Rhone and then along the
seacoast of the Mediterranean.
COUP D'ETAT IN SPAIN
A midnight uprising of loyalist generals under Gen. Casado with
the support of moderate socialist and republican elements has over
thrown the leftist regime of Premier Juan Negnn in loyalist jspam.
The new govevrnraent is willing to surrender on "Honorable' terms
but promises a fight to the finish unless Franco's reprisals are
discontinued. Communists are not represented on we new aeiense
council and a peace in the Spanish civil war now seems imminent.
Negrin himself laid the basis for the military coup when he assumed
the role of victual dictator following the ousting jot Gen. Miaja who
has long conducted the successful defense of the Madrid sector.
"We will no longer stand for the Negrin government a lacK or
organization and its mismanagement. Whereas, bitter resistance was
demanded of the people, on one hand, the government chiefs were
only thinking of fleeing abroad.... Now, nobody will escape his duty
and promises" says Gen. Casadp.

old, the nationalist leader is on the fourth day of his most rece.it
hunger strike aimed at gaining a voice in Indian stale government
for his people. The health of the aging Ghandi has been quite poor
of late, and much concern is felt for his life if he continues his
participation In this civil disobedience campaign.
The Indian nationalist party has requested the Viceroy of India,
the Marquess of Linlithgow, to intervene to protect the health of the

Pound tells
'slang7 story
Fairbury Symposium
hears N.U. professor
"Slang is as old as speech
itself", Professor Louise Pound, of
the English department, told mem
bers of the Symposium club of
Fairburv in a speech to their
group last night.
Speaking on the subject of
"Slang Yesterday and Today,"
Miss Pound said, "Whereas a hun
dred years ago it was termed a
low and disgusting branch of lan
guage, the general attitude toward
it now is one of tolerance. There
is now a cult of it among journal
ists, columnists, fiction writers,
and writers of film advertising.
Slang, however, is not the prop
erty of one social class, those who"
write, but rather comes from every
quarter.
Miss Pound nointed out that
miies foreiern countries todav snow a
surprising interest in American
slang, which should make us take
interest in it.
"Slang is used by the young
more than the old for various
reasons, one of which is they like
to eet awav from formality and
the pompous," Miss Pound stated
"The use of it, however, can be
overdone. Those who drag the
cheap catchwords of the moment
into every sentence, who make
rubber stamp application of the
latest wisecracks until they are
worn to death, run the risk of be
ing tiresome. Slang is part of lan
guage and as such should not be
dismissed with a sneer, but neither
should it be overworked.
Convo speaker Haskell
describes old Roman
'WPA', 'left-wingers'
The' constant struggle of the
poor against the rich furnished
the theme for the convocation ad
dress delivered Monday morning
in the Temple by Henry Joseph
Haskell, editor of the Kansas City
Star. The speech presented a pic
ture of the economic measures of
the Roman empire cast in New
Deal phrases as the editor com
pared the acts of the Roosevelt
administration to the ancient Ital
ian government.
Mr. Haskell warned Viat his
tory does not repeat itself and
that "never twice the same" due
to varied circumstances is a bet
ter rule. Out of his study of the
collapse of the Roman empire,
however, Haskell stated that these
policies seem necessary: first, the
economic system must provide a
minimum standard of living; sec
ond, the way must be left open for
men of merit to rise: third, the
leaders must have an enlightened
point of view recognizing the com
mon responsibilities or the classes.
Failure to follow these precepts
brought the collapse of Rome.
Tells of 'Charity Ball.'
In a kaleidoscopic survey of
Roman history from Caesar to
Diocletian. Mr. Haskell delighted
his audience by applying New Deal
terminology to Roman practices.
The highly dignified feast of the
goddess of chastity rolled off the
Haskell tongue as the old time
Charity Ball' that was the swanky
social event of the year."
Current practices of using WPA
labor for private gain, here Hask
ell referred to a Missouri admin
istrator, found precedent in a
Roman general who detailed 2.000
men of his army to cut brush off
his private acreages while their
own lands went untilled because
they were supposed to be out
fighting the enemy.
"The first New Dealer, Lycius
Stollo, was presented as declar
ing a three year moratorium on
debts, dividing the land up so .hat
no man could hold more than 300
acres of the public domnin and
Union because of transportation
costs.

an intercampus bus service, owned
and operated by the university ani
financed by a comparatively small
fee.
