On display this month in Morrill Hall is the 57th an nual Exhibition of Contemporary American Art, sponsored by the Nebraska Art Association. .Authorities on art have long recognized this annual show as one of the finest in the country, and it brings to the campus over 200 varied stykv. and media. You can see abstract painting, works by American masters and European artists in oil, watercolor, crayon and sculpture in the galleries of Morrill and you can see them free. In addition, if you might win on original etching, lithograph or silkscreen by entering the contest sponsored by the art department. Gallery talks by members of the art I acuity ana cnucs from other cities on the exhibit are also featured at Mor rill Hall this month. Students have an excellent oppor tunity to see and hear about the exhibition because no ad mission is charged, while citizens of Lincoln have to pay to see it. Wandering about the halls and galleries is interesting, noticing how present-day artists interpret their world, some in lines and geometric designs, others in landscapes and street scenes. It doesn't take a thorough knowledge of the principles and mechanics of drawing to enjoy a picture or a statue. NSA Delegates Give Report On Organization Expansion Last December, the Student Council sent four students to re present the university at the Chi cago Student Conference, a meet ing in which 727 delegates repre sented 672 colleges and univer sities and 55 national student or ganizations for the purpose of or ganizing a national organization of students. A National Continuations Com mittee was established for the purpose of preparing a constitu tion and a general plan of activity to be presented to a larger assem blage of people at the University of Wisconsin this September. For the purpose of fascilitating the activities of the activities of the organization the county was divided into 30 regions, one of which includes North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska. During this past weekend a re gional meeting was held at Du chesne College in Omaha, with fifteen colleges and universities participating. The purpose of the meeting was to arouse greater in terest in the national organization and in the constitutional conven tion this summer. Regional Officers. Regional organization was dis cussed at the Duchesne meeting and regional officers were elected. The officers are Eugene Berman, of the university, regional char man; Bill Long, Kearney stale college, vice-president; Don Niel sen, University of Omaha, treas urer; Robert Nickerson, Creighton University, secretary; and Wesley Sandvig, Augustana college, pub licity chairman. Most of the meeting was con cerned with a discussion of the organization, its aims, purposes, methods, and structure. Following the lengthy discussion of the pro posed organization it was found that all delegates present favored the establishment of such an or ganization and were willing xo iaice sucn a recommen dation back to the campuses each represented. For this reason the meeting continued on organiza tional lines, the high-point being the assessment of each campus for an amount of money in accordance to a formula set up based on a per-capita and representative bas is. The money is to be used to support the NCC, both national and regional, during the interim period until the constitutional conference. May Meet Planned. Because of the brief time that ....... . Sam Warrea STAFF . . Jim Van l-andlnrham Keith Jones At Latman, Bill Wllkins Gould Fluff, had been allotted for the confer ence, and because the delegates wanted to get the opinions of their campuses concerning the proposed constitution for the NSA before the region made recom mendations for presentation at the constitution convention, is was de cided that another regional meet ing be held on May 10 and 11. An all out drive to interest oth er schools in the organization and to be present at the next regional meeting and the national consti tutional convention has been un dertaken by the executive com mittee. Only four colleges from this region were present at Chi cago. There were thirteen at Du chesne, and several additional schools have expressed interest in the organization and are keeping in touch with the group. AWS (Continued from Page 1.)

See story on page 5. Dial Twistings . . . BY LEE HARRIS. Here it is Thursday already and the week has slipped right out from under us, leaving a variety of thoughts behind it. Some of those thoughts might need a slight bolstering, so let me suggest the Musical Clock as that source of spirit from which you can start out the day right. The Musical Clock is brought to you thru the facilities of station KFOR at 7:15. But that's for those early birds who rise at the crack of 6:30 to make their old stand-by, the 8 o'clock class. If you are a person of leisure on this fine March morning and are lucky enough to be near a radio as the clock strikes 10, snap your sturdy little dial twister to KFOR again and listen to Hollywood's morning favorite, Tom Breneman. This is a na tional program sponsored by ABC and is generally regarded as one of radio's best in the way of all around variety. Among the many feature attractions on Breakfast in Hollywood, which is broadcast di rectly from Tom Breneman's own restaurant, is the award to the Good Neighbor of the Day. Many letters are received by Tom tell ing him of some worthy person who has done something outstand ing to help someone. The award is truly a worth while one, and those who win this coveted honor deserve the recognition given them. As we travel thru the day from class to class, many things may happen to cause that tightened-up feeling within. If this is the case with you, snap the dial to KFAB this evening and listen to a pair of thrilling mysteries that will unravel all those tight thoughts that have wound their way around you all day long. Mr. Keen, the first of the two mysteries, takes to the air at 6:30 over KFAB and is followed by Suspense, a half hour later over the same station. At 8:00, still on KFAB, the Dick Haymes show will filter thru your loudspeaker, providing you have your dial set at 1110. Another CBS production, this 30 minute show promises an interesting half hour of radio listening. Back-tracking a bit, the Town Meeting of the Air is scheduled to take over the ABC network at 7:30 this evening. For all those, who want to find out not only what has happened but also why it has happened, this is their best bet. Being the best program of its kind, Town Meeting of the Air furnishes possibly the best source of argument on the problems facing America today. This evening, you may find out exactly what has happened in the way of the latest news by tuning in either KFOR or KFAB at 11. Both local stations offer at that time a five minute review of the news. Tony Pastor highlights the dance band music for tonight as he carries the burden for KFAB from 11:30 to midnight. About now your small dial on the side of your radio is exhausted and takes an exit until dawn of the next day. Until tomorrow, then sweet listening to all radio listen ers everywhere.
