SILVER STRIPEMYSTERY
Many Guess About Lines
But No Facts Come To Light
By WILLIAMETTE DESCH
Staff Writer
The latest mystery plaguing
the minds of University students
is that of the silver lines.
These little lines which are
about 3 inches wide and 5 inches
long have been obviously placed
on the sidewalk around the Li
brary for a purpose. That pur
pose has become quite a mys
tery. Some of the possible reasons
for the lines are: To mark the
little sprinklers so they will not
be hit by snowplows this win
ter. Something to do with the
paving business going on on R
Street. The engineering classes
which constantly survey the
campus. Holes for flagpoles. An
other possibility is' that some
fraternity pledge just fulfilled
his duty.
Christmas is coming pretty
soon so the silver lines could be
some ornamental decorations to
be used during the holiday sea
son. They were placed there last
week so they might have had
some connection with the Press
Convention held on the campus
over the weekend.
Charles Fowler, -director of
the Division of Buildings and
Grounds, was completely baffled
by the little lines and said he
had no idea what they were for
but would investigate.
Of course it could be a new
University fad brought back by
some of the numerous migrators.
The skull and crossbones of
TNE used to be the popular
painted sign around the campus
but times have changed. The
silver lines are "the latest."
This may prove to be the most
exciting mystery since flying
saucers or UMOC so Junior
Fosdicks get to work on the
case.

In Library Art Show

"We are taking art collections
of the University where students
can see them," said Norman
Geske, assistant director of Uni
versity galleries, referring speci'
fically to the collections on the
second and third floors of Love
Library.
Students are taking- notice
and they are saying: things
pro, con, and otherwise.
One student approached a
painting he seemed to consider
particularly perplexing. He placed
his nose a few inches from the
Bicture and peered intently; he

Plans Meeting
For Tonight
Air Force ROTC Command
Squadron will hold a meeting at
7 p.m. Wednesday in the lounge
of the Military and Naval Science
Building.
The meeting will serve a dual
purpose, according to Public In
formation Officer Sam Bell. All
prospective pledges for the
Squadron will have an oppor
tunity to become acquainted
with the members as well as
hear a talk by Lt. Col. Carey of
Offutt Air Force Base on "The
Air Research and Development

backed up a few feet and gazed
with an equal intensity.
Finally shrugging it off as a
lost cause, he asked a fellow
critic, "Now what the devil is
that supposed to be?" The an
swer was a shake of the head
and a blank smile.
On the other hand, an oil en
titled "Christmas Spirit" gained
an almost unanimous vote of ap
proval from students interviewed.
Wayne Moller, a graduate student
of economics, expressed the views
of most students. "Its detail is
superior," he said. "All in all, it
s a very enjoyable painting.
Others commented "it's sordid,
but it's gay". . ."it mirrors real
ity". . ."it reminds me of last
Christmas." '
One library employee told
this little story about a figure
in lead by Sheffield and a male
student admirer. After carefully
examining it, he reached in his
pocket, extracted his handker
chief and neatly draped it
around the nude. Then he tagged
it with a little card reading, "Do
not remove by order of Dean
Hallgren."
.The paintings in the second
floor lobby are from the Hall col
lection and the Nebraska Art As
sociation. The walls of third floor
lobby are hung with paintings by
the University art faculty. Geske
said that the paintings will re
main there until the end of this
semester.

Tentatively Set
Norman Geske, assistant direc
tor of the University Art Galleries,
announced tentative plans Tues
day that would send 15 University
students on a summer trip through
Europe.
Geske said that the group
would be composed of students
interested in the arts. The trip,
he said, would be under the aus
pices of American Youth
Abroad, a travel agency special
izing in economical trips and
study tours for students.
Prices range from $215 for 21
days in Europe to $695 for C3 days
on the continent. Geske pointed
out that this does not Include
traveling time.
"In other words," he said,
"traveling under the $695 plan
would mean that 63 days would be
spent touring the continent
proper."
Geske said that any interested
students should reach him for
further information in Room 207,
Morrill Hall.

Fuenning said. He points out the
fact that "to every known dia

every year, according to Duard W,
Imaging, Director of the University
Galleries. It is the plan of the
University Galleries to focus pub
lic attention on private collections
owned by Nebraskans.
To Implement this plan, the
Galleries now have on exhibi
tion a group of paintings the
younger generation of contem
porary French painters, Laglng
said. This excellent group of
twelve paintings was assembled,
purchased and loaned to the
University Galleries by Lester
A. Danielson, ScotUbluff attor
ney and amateur collector, who
served as a major In the Judge
Advocate General's Corps dur
ing World War II.
Mr. Danielson was stationed In
Purls where he became acquainted
with a French architect who in
turn introduced him to the French
artists whose work is now repre
sented in his rolloctlon. Among
the painters In the Danielson col
lation are Edouard Plgnon, An
dre Fougoron, Alfred Manessier,
Andre Marchond and Francisco
Bores.
In a letter describing the collec
tion Danielson says: "The paint
ings which I have consist of what
loosely might be called the "new
school" of French painters; that
is, with the exception of Fran
cisco Bores, who was born and
reared in Spain but now resides
in Paris.
All of these painters ained
stature during the war years,
and with the exception of Bores
(who previously had been
shown at the Museum of Mod
ern Art in New York) were not
exhibited in this country prior
to 1947. I believe the collection
I assembled was probably the
first appearance of these paint
ers in this country."
The Danielson Collection will
be on exhibition as a unit on the
third floor of Morrill Hall until
the first of February, according
to Mr. Laging. It will be followed
from time to time by showings
of other Nebraska owned collections.
