The finance staff asks that women
remember that the money they con
tribute is a payment to the Y. W. C.
A. for the work accomplished during
the entire year for the benefit of
the women students. Inasmuch as
the members of the Y. W. C. A. are
not asked to pay any dues the As

during this one week.

MISS HEPPNER IS .
VESPER SPEAKER
Dean of Woman T..'ki oa "Rponsi-
bili ties of Big Sisters"
Tuesday Afternoon
Miss Amanda Heppner, Dean of
Women, talked on the "Responsibili
ties of Big Sisters" at the regular
Vesper service at Ellen Smith hall
sponsored by the Big Sister board.
The meeting was led by Miss Elsie
Kerkow. The musical feature was a
harp solo by Miss Ruth Ann Codding-
ton.
"There is something in everyone
that makes him a distinct being,"
said Miss Heppner. "That intangible
something we call personality. By this
we do not mean our external person
ality, but personality in its highest
sense. It is the divine spot in each
of us which links us with the infinite.
"The first responsibility of the Big
Sisters is to develop this inner per
sonality, first in themselves and then
in their Little Sisters. An attitude
which helps one to play their part in
society is needed to attain this per
sonality. .This altitude is called social
consciousness. Life is useless if we
don't serve the world in some man
ner.

versity Art Gallery November fourth
to the twenty-fourth. The collection
comprises etchings and block prints
of varied and unusual effects well
worth the consideration of those who
feel an interest in the trend of mod
ern art.
Blanding Sloan has been termed a
rebel by some of his critics because
he insists upon spontaneity and free
dom. Whenever convention or tradi
tion interferes with the obtaining of
his effect, he does not hesitate to
cast it aside and work in his own un
hampered and original manner. He
is equally as ready to make use of
new tools and materials as to employ
new technique.
The Photopoint is an innovation of
his own. Interested in photography
a field which he believes rich in pos
sibilities from an artistic standpoint
he found a means of producing an
effect which has all the softness of a
water color combined with the keen
ness of an etching. This process con

ever, must be taken as in the case of
an engraving, for no erasing can be
done. A false stroke ruins the entire
plate.
It is a practice with Mr. Sloan in
most instances to exhibit his work
with no titles in evidence. He be
lieves that titles never adequate
may actually detract from the mean
ing of the picture by starting asso
ciations which have no actual con
nection with it. Now and then he of
fers prizes for the best "titles to his
pictures, not because he is anxious
to have his works designated by
names, but because he is curious to
find out how successful he has been
in transferring into the mind of the
observer the idea which he wishes to
express.
Mr. Sloan has received some criti
cism because he does not keep to the
effects of poetic loveliness and beauty
which he is so well able to express,
but occasionally introduces the gro
tesque. His originality and freshness,
however, are undisputed!, and as an

"Although I'm interested in all
sports, boxing leads. In boxing the
contestants are more evenly matched

In football there can be a heavy team

Basketball would be my second choice
of sports."

"Track is my favorite collegiate

"Football first and basketball sec

here, very few went to the games.
Not much interest was shown."
"There is nothing infallable in the
interpretation of art," declared Mrs
Augusta wilder, luesday morning
at bpecial convocation held in the
Temple.
"There is a universality of appeal
in all art," she continued, "for we all
are on the same level interpreting
every picture from our own indivi
daul philosophy of life. Scenes are
effected by mood to a large degree
but every picture has a theme, al
though opinions differ as to the man
ner in which the theme is brought
out. Some say pictures should never
preach a sermon while others declare
that a picture is not of value unless
it brings out some moral."
Mrs. Wilder described the back
grounds of three subjects: "The
Aurora" by Guide Reni, "The Read
ing from Homer" by Laurence Alma-
Tadema and "Sir Gallahad" by Watts.
Describes Three Subjects
Inspiration from the painting of
"The Aurora" came through an an
cient Greek myth. It is a purely
decorative creation and has been
worked out according to line form,
that is, the horizontal line indicating
positions of peace, the oblique line
positions of anguish and the curved
line positions of beauty.
"The Reading from Homer" paint
ed by a comparatively modern Bri
tish artist, brings the legends of the
ancient Odyssey. The shepard, the
master, and the youths have all been
brought out to emphasize elements
of suggested thought for educational
uplifts.
"Sir Gallahad" represents the sym
bol of perfection in life. The in
spiration came through the story of
the Holy Grail."
Mrs. Wilder, now a representative
of the Lecture Board of the State
Art Institute of South Dakota, has
been lecturing to various institutions
since August 26. Last week she
lectured at the State Educational In
stitution of Oklahoma and the pre
ceding week at San Antonio, Texas
before the largest institution in the
world.

.
Members of these organizations are
solidly behind the concert, he added,
and are out selling the tickets for
tho program.
Tickets also are being sold by the
Tassels, Pershing Rifles and Corn
cobs; students may also secure them
at the office of Mr. Selleck in the
Coliseum or at the Ross P. Curtice
company, 240 O Street.
University Gets Good Talent
In explanation of the concert, Mr.
Selleck declared: "The University of
Nebraska always has tried to bring
the best musical talent and the best
speakers available to Lincoln for the
benefit particularly of the student
body, at the same time inviting the
general public to enjoy the programs.
"In the spring of 1924, the uni
versity brought the Minneapolis Sym
phony orchestra, one of the best
musical organizations of its kind in
the country to Lincoln. It advertis
ed the concert for the stadium, but
an unusually late spring developed
and on the night of the concert it
turned so cold that it was necessary
to transfer the concert to the city
auditorium.
"At that time, enough tickets had
been sold to fill the auditorium to
capacity twice over, and the univer
sity was required to turn hundreds of
people away.
"The following year, the same or
ganization was brought to the uni
versity with similar success. The
auditorium, however, was not large
enough to allow the sale of tickets at
a rate that would appeal to the gen
eral student body, and not a large
number of students attended, the au
dience being made up for the most
part of Lincoln people.
Coliseum Provides Room
"With the completion of the uni
versity coliseum, however, the uni
versity has secured a building large
enough to house an indoor gathering
of almost any size. When it became
apparent that the institution was to
secure this fine new building, we
immediately set our plans to try an
other experiment of bringing a musi
cal concert of national moment to
the university.
"When we heard, therefore, that
the United States Navy band was
planning a tour, we started out to
get them to come to Lincoln.
"Their original routing did not
take them as far north as this, and
it became necessary for the univer
sity to secure the cooperation of
Robert Simmons, United States con
gressman from Scottsbluffs, Nebr.,
himself a Nebraska graduate, in or
der that the band might be brought
to Lincoln.
" The Navy band concert Saturday
night undoubtedly is the greatest
musical treat that will be offered to
Lincoln people this year. The Navy
band only once before has been al
lowed to make a tour. Last year,
President Coolidge, whose written
permission must be secured every
time the band leaves Washington, D.
C, gave his approval to a tour of
eight weeks duration.
President Sanctioned Tour
"Again this year, the President
sanctioned a tour by the band with
