Registration Plan
Laird Announces Independent
Filings for Student Candidates
BY DAKE NOVOTNY.
Never a dull mefment in the political sphere on the
university campus!
Student political party registration previously sched
uled to be held today and Wednesday under the auspices of
the Student Council has been cancelled, Helen Laird, Coun
cil president, disclosed late yesterday afternoon.
Registration has always been
held by the Council in order to
"guarantee an unbiased and en
tirely legal procedure by which
students were able to register
their respective party affiliations
prior to regular elections. This
practice, however, was adopted
during the existence of more than
one party, and at the present time
only one, the Cornhusker party,
apparently exists. Consequently
the Council had but one alterna
tive ... to cancel the registra
tion," Miss Laird stated.
In view of the fact that there
will be no registration, all stu
dent candidates must file as inde
pendents in the forthcoming elec
tions unless the Cornhusker party
ch ses to hold its own registra
tion. In that event, the Cornhusker
party may file candidates as such.
Seemingly two student political
organizations have fallen by the
wayside. The Union Independent
and Student parties, heretofore
the political greats on the cam
pus, have retired to obscurity, a
possible indication of waning stu

Morrill Exhibit
Offers Variety
Of Art Trends
By Sue Golden
Surprising variations on old
themes and media are evident in
the Nebraska Art association's
57th Annual exhibition of Con
temporary Art, now open at the
university Art galleries in Mor
rill hall.
Two hundred and twenty-five
drawings, paintings and sculpture
from all major contemporary
schools and techniques are in
cluded, and for the first time,
work from California and the
Chicago vicinity is being shown.
Up-to-Dite
More than one-fourth of the
approximately 190 exhibitors are
new to the exhibit. "That in itself
is an indication that the associ
ation is keeping pace with new
developments in 811," Dwight
Kirsch, chairman of the univer
sity art department and NAA,
stated.
Fantasy themes are more pro
minent than they have been in
the past, but are still outnumbered
by marine and genre paintings.
Abstractions are fewer, but of
higher quality, Kirsch said.
Portraitures are also increasing
in number, and this year almost
as many are shown as are land
scapes, which have always been
fairly strong.

Outstanding In the exhibition is
Philip Guston's 1945 first prize
winner at the Carnegie's Annual,
