COLORADO DEAN Dean Harry Carlson of Colorado addressed
delegates attending the Big Seven Student Council convention at
their main banquet Friday ni"ht. The convention ends Saturday
night after a two-day session of discussion concerning Dig Seven
Council programs.
Colorado U Dean Speaks
At Bin 7 Delegate Dinner
Highlight of the Big Seven
conference was the dinner held
at the Ccirnhusker hotel Friday
night. Harry Carlson, dean of
students at Colorado university
was the guest speaker.
Roz Howard, presiding, intro
duced one of Nebraska's Student
Council faculty advisors. Miss
Mary Mielenz. She stated that
she was very proud of the stu
dent' initiative in planning the
conference and expressed her
hope that it would be continued
in future years.
Howard then introduced Carl
W. Borgmann, dean of faculties,
Frank Hallgren, assistant dean
of student affairs, and Louise
McDill, vice president of the
Student Council.
Carlson Speaks
Dean Carlson was introduced
by Tom Guggenheim, president
of the Colorado Student Coun
cil. Guggenheim said, "Dean Carl
son is someone whom we con
sider as a friend, he is one of
the most popular men at Colo
rado. Besides being an academic
man he is also an athlete, a
former pitcher for the Cincinnati
Reds. He was a main factor
when Colorado joined the Big
Seven, which was one of the
most important moves we have
ever made."
Carlson outlined five points
which he felt should be objec
tives of higher education. As a
framework for developing these
objectives he presented these
points. A determination to place
all knowledge in its proper per
spective; courage and devotion to
truth, and achievement and
maintenance of moral integrity
with emnhasis unon man's in- I
tegrity to man. "Moral integrity
is fundamental," he said.
"My third point is centered
around the work excellence, the
acquisition of excellence in some
specialty," he stated.
Athletic Important
"The attainment of physical
health and emotional and social
adjustment is my fourth point," he
continued. "Athletics especially
important. The value is intang
ible and hard to measure but
there is a definite value. An
activity which allows the student
to act as a whole person is im
portant. You should make sure
that everyone in your school
takes part in some good recrea
tional activity." advispd Carlson.
Carlson continued by saying,
"We must continue to develop
our free society with emphasis
on rights and duties of indivi
duals. The rights must mat-'h
with the responsibilities. We
haven't spent enough time on in

The Big Seven student gov
erning conference started at a
fast pace Friday afternoon and
adjourned late Saturday after
noon with the formation of the
Big Seven Student Government
Association to insure future
meetings as the major accom
plishment. Two resolutions concerning
problems common to aU the
schools were also passed, one
dealing with big-name dance
bands and the other with stu
dent migrations.
The Student Government As
sociation was formed in order to
achieve for its members the mu
tual benefits to be derived from
a common association with other
student governing bodies. Plans
were made for the next annual
meeting to be held at the Uni
versity of Oklahoma during the
first week in December.
Starting the meeting Roz
Howard stated, "I am indeed
happy to see represented all
schools of the Big Seven confer
ence. I sincerely hope all the
schools who are not acquainted
with each other will be at the
end of our conference. Our Stu
dent Council felt there was a
definite need for such a confer
ence, to Ret together on a basis
other than athletic competition.
I feel the schools in the Big
Seven have a great deal in com
mon. We all have something to
learn from each other."
Frosh Orientation
The problem of freshman ori
entation was the first item on
the agenda drawn up by Ne
braska. Iowa State led the dis
cussion by presenting their
freshman orientation plan. A
student week is held at the Iowa
school where freshman students
are divided into small groups
and each assigned a counselor
chosen by the faculty. The
other schools presented similar
plans. Kansas university sends
student and faculty representa
tives out to the high schools in
the state during the school year.
Assemblies are held and stu
dents interested in the univer
sity in this manner. Oklahoma
holds a career conference for
entering freshmen. High schools
in the state send representatives
to the conference and they re

on the
Colorado campus.
After being off the campus for
18 years, Theta Nu Epsilon, a
;ubversive fraternal organization
las evidently made its official j
reappearance ai v-oioraoo uni
versity. The group's symbol of a
oainted skull and crossed keys
was fojnd on the sidewalk in
front of the CU Arts building.
At the time of its original ex
istence members of the subver
sive organization were asked to
meet wtih the dean of men.
After a conclusive discussion, the I
members agreed to disband and
it supposedly went out of exist
ence. The dean called the organiza
tion "the Ku Klux Klan" of the
campus. "It's members," he
stated, "are chosen on a very
narrow idea of discrimination
and usually come from fratern
ities. The groups' purpose is
controlling social and political
activities."
Famous Authors Publish
Work in NU 'Schooner'
BY GLENN ROSENQL'IST
Marie Sandoz, Tennessee Wil
liams, Robert Fontaine, and Eu
dora Welty are just a few of the
scores of famous writers who
have contributed to the Univer
sity's own literary magazine, The
Prairie Schooner, since its found
ing in 1927.
Miss Sandoz is a Nebraska
novelist. Two of her most famous
works are "Crazy Horse" and
"Old Jules."
Two of Williams' plays. "The
Glass Menagerie," and "A Street
car Named Desire," have been
sensational broadwajy hits. Fon
taine is another plawriaht: "The
Happy Life" being his best. Miss
Welty is known for her stories
"The Golden Apples" and "The
Net."
Weeds and Bread
Through the years have ap
peared in the quarterly entitled
"The Collector and the Lady"
and "Picnic in Zamboanga."
Poems have been written about
weeds, Calamity Jane, and a
pice of bread.
The scone of readership is
more widespread than the sub
jects about which the authors
write. There are subscribers from
nearly every state in the Union.
A numbc- of conies go overseas,
particularly to Switzerland, Bri
tain, France, and the Low coun
tries. Until latelv, a news svndicate
in Belgium distributed 50 conies
of the Schooner each issue. Pos
tage ran too high, however, and
the subscrintions were finally
discontinued.
Fighty copies of each issue are
mailed to libraries all over
America where they take a
prominent place on magazine
shelves. Thouqh there are about
BOO paid subscribers to the mag
azine, the actual readership is
far greater.
Wimberly Selects
Each issue of the quarterly
contains on the average of three
articles, eicht short stones, and
six to twelve poems. Professor
Lowry C. Wimberly, editor of the
magazine, selects tne material
for publication.
Wimberly has been editor since
the Schooner's founding 23 years
ago. The first issue of the mag
azine contained a story called
"The Vine," written by a woman
named Marie RiacumDer. ane
was later to be known as Marie
Sandoz.
Also inrluried in the first issue
was an article by Bess Streeter
Aldrich in which she said, "I
, believe there snoum come irum
! Nebraska a select group oi youn
writers to ten simpiy onu
clearly the story of the land
which is neither east nor west."
The telling of this story has
been and still is the goal of the
March 20, for the second con
ference address. The third
snpaker will talk before the
delegates Wednesday, March 22.
Final Sessions
The last three days of the
conference, March 22-24, will be
devoted to four final plenary
sessions. At these meetings, dele
gates will debate and vote on
the resolutions which emerge
from the committee meetings.
Several other events have
been planned in connection with
the mock general assembly. One
was the International Friend
ship dinner which was held
Thursday under the sponsorship
of the Religious Welfare coun
cil. Cosmopolitan club and
NUCWA. On Monday, March 13,
the University Theatre and Ne
braska Masquers will present
Arthur Laurient's play, "Home
of the Brave." The production
will be staged at the Nebraska
theater.
The model UN general assem
bly is sponsored by the Nebraska

Special Announcement
Dean Harry G. Carlson made
a special announcement last
Tuesday concerning the reap
pearance 01 the subversive
group.
"We would like to make a plea
to the members of Theta Nu
Epsilon to give up the organi
zation. It has no place on the
campus; there is no need for it
here, or anywhere.
"We have an idea of who are
members of the group, and we
are asking them to come to the
offic.? to talk over this Prob"
lcm-
The policy of most universities,
according to Carlson, is to auto
matically expell a man found to
be a member of this fraternity.
He termed the policy adopted by
Colorado at the group's last ap
pearance exceptionally light.
"Theta Nu Epsilon can do
more damage than any other or
ganization on campus," he con
cluded. publication. Writers from all
over the world contribute manu
scripts .
In the forthcoming spring issue
are works from Ireland, Mexico,
Honolulu, Maryland, California,
Texas, New York, and Alabama.
Spring Issue
One article is entitled "The
Program for the Day," and is a
story of the Normandy invasion.
August Derleth gives character
sketches of "Four Spinsters," and
Gerald Langford, an English
teacher at the University of
Texas, tells of an unconventional
love affair which he had. The
story is called "The Broken
Heart."
From Dublin, Ireland, comes
"Magnificent Day" by Desmond
Clarke. "Students will like this
story because it has some humor
in it," says Wimberly.
There will also be a poem by
the man who won the Pulitzer
prize in poetry last year, Peter
Viereck.
The Schooner has in many
cases has published the early
work of many writers whose la
ter work brought them recogni
tion. When other magazines of
its type closed down during the
depression, the Schooner contin
ued to receive contributions from
well-known authors who could
have been paid for their work by
other magazines.
"The Prairie Schooner is not
a high brow magazine, as is gen
erally thought. Neither is it low
brow, but middle brow," com
ments Wimberly.
Faculty members at the Uni
versity have had quite a number
of their compositions in the
Schooner.

Braque Oil Most Costly Work
In Current Show, Says Kirsch
"Nearly everyone who comes
to art shows wants to know
which painting is the most ex-
i pensive in the galleries, ' says
Dwight Kirsch, director of the
Morrill Hall galleries, and chair
man of the Nebraska Art asso
ciation's exhibition committee.
The most expensive painting
in the 60th annual exhibition
of contemporary art, which
opens today in Morrill hall, is an
oil by the French cubist Georges
Braque, which is valued at
$8,500.
The picture is a still life
pp.inted by the Frenchman in
1927 "Braque is co-founder of
cubism, and since he is a fam
ous artist, and turns out very
few paintings, the canvases he
does paint are usually expen
sive," explained Kirsch.
A small, 10x20 inch oil of a
white barn is the most expensive
painting per square inch. It is
priced at $2,500 and is from a
series of farm buildings painted
by Georgia O'Keeffe in Canada.
Miss O'Keeffe is one of the most
noted of living woman artists
and her work is marked by pre
cise tonality and workmanship.
Nearly 200 artists are repre
sented in the show, which

ulty members and students of

Sunday, March 5, 1950
at Present
The question of a new Ag
Union building will reach at a
peak at 5 p. m. Thursday when.
Duane Lake, director of the
Union, meets with Ag students.
Three representatives from all
Ag campus groups are scheduled
to take part in the expansion
discussion, and other interested
students are asked to attend!
Meeting will be in the Ag Union.
In a interview Friday, Lake
pointed out that expansion is r.ot
financially feasible at the pres
ent time and could not be for
some years.
He explained that the Ag stu
dents are elaborating on some
commitment which they think
has been made. It was to the
effect that an Ag Union expan
sion has priority over a city
Union construction. Lake stated
that the Union board, composed
of faculty, students and alumni
has made no such stipulation,
and that this is the group that
appropriates the money used in
Union activities.
Semester Fee
Union programs are carried
out on a $3 fee each semester
from each student enrolled in
the University, Lake continued.
Figuring the 1,000 enrolled at Ag
campus this means that they
have $6,000 available to operate
their facilities. "But," stated
Lake, "the actual budget appro
priated to the Union is more
than what they pay in since it is
$6,450. This does not include the
$2,500 restoration of reserves
that they should pay. The city
Union funds have to account for
this."
"Although there are less than
eight times as many students on
Ag campus as on the city, Lake
points out that the ratio of ap
propriations given the Ag Union
is about one-fourth of the funds.
In response to many demands
for a publication of the budgets,
Lake declared, "I want every
one to have available all the in
formation possible."
"In comparison of budgets,
considering the size of the city
Union to the Ag Union, and the
number of students it serves, the
budgets don't seem to be fair,"
continued the director.
1949-'50 Budget
For the 1949-1950 school year
the following budget has been
set up for the two unions:
Salaries and wages: City, $14,
216; Ag, $3,900.
Activities fund: City, $6,000;
Ag, $1,000.
Office and activities supplies:
City, $500: Ag, $100.
Books, magazines and games:
City, $300; Ag, $100.
Maintenance: City, $400; Ag,
$150.
Furnishings, reparations and
repairs: Citv, $3,000: Ag, $700.
Capital additions: City, $2,500;
Ag. $500.
The total budget amounts to
$37,191 $30,741 for City; $6,450
for Ag.
Lake reminds students that
when comparing the two appro
priations to remember that there
are eight times as many students
on the city campus as on Ag
campus.
Speaking of the needs on Ag
campus. Lake said that he real
ized that the facilities were not
as good as they should be, but he
still maintained that it is impos
sible to expand at present.
"One misconception that Ag
students have is that expansions
on the city Union would mean
less money for the Ag Union,"
claimed Lake. "This certainly is
not true," he said. He pointed to
the recent closing of the Ag
Union at night as one of the

One whole wall contains work

Italian sculptor, Marini. He
currently has his own show in

In gallery A is "Self Portrait"
by James Lechay, of the Univer
sity of Iowa. Beside it on a
pedestal is a pounded lead head
by Albrizio, also of Iowa. Lech
ay's likeness is shown in both
works, and the facial features
are the same, one in relief, the
otner in oil.
A blending of reds and
oranges is accomplished in an
oil tailed "Joseph's Coat," by
Gibran. Another oil by an art
ist who illustrates for Fortune
magazine is also in the show. It
shows a maze of modernistic
pipes and towers, which suggest
an oil refinery.
Frames in the show are picked
to suit the picture. Some reflect
the somberness of the oil, others,
as in moderns, are often rugged,
and crudely worked. Many of
the pictures have frames of ac
tual worm-eaten wood.
Both Kirsch and Joe Ishikawa
is j believe that this year's show is
more balanced and of better
quality than last year's exhibi
tion. It will run for four weeks
from March 5 until April 2.
The collection of paintings by
Nebrpskans is near the east cor
ridor entrance. Thirteen Nebras
kans have works here.
