that Varsity Dances are held
Therefore for the remainder of the
school year these evenings may be
considered 'closed.'
All-university parties were started
at Nebraska some fourteen years
ago. The purpose of these parties
was to sponsor a democratic campus
snirit to bridge the social gap be
tween the various university organi-
tations and the students, so apt to
occur in an institution as large as
this university. In order to more fully
realize this aim, and to give all stu
dents an opportunity to attend these
nartics the Student Council cooper

mittee, according to members, felt it

regarding the many social functions.
The faculty committee on student
organizations passed a motion to the
effect that no foreign orchestra out
side of Nebraska should be retained
by any university organization with
out first consulting the committee.
A number of other requests re
garding the closing of nights for
specific events were brought before
the committee. According to the
faculty members, it "has been the
policy of the committee for the past
three years not to close a night for
in event in which the majority of
students are not interested. Varsity
dances, they pointe dout, are all-university
parties, open to every univer
sity student, are non-profit, and
should receive the support of both
students and faculty.

torn seems to be for each organiza-
tion to hnlH twn nr three "wn" nar-

sororities has increased until two or
three "rep" parties ore held every
week-end throughout the school year.
If each of the 59 organizations listed
in the Student Directory holds two
"rep" parties each year at the con
servative cost of $175 each, the total
cost would amount to $20,650. If
the number of parties was cut down
to one a year for each organization,
the result would be a saving of more
than $10,000 to fraternity and sor
ority members. These figures are
worth thinking over.
"Varsity Dances might be held
more often to take the place of some
of the "rep" parties. Students in
other universities as large as the
University of Nebraska manage to
get along with fewer parties of this
kind than we have. Practically all in
vitations to the various parties are
given to the same popular, promin
ent or well known students. Couldn't
this same crowd have the same en
joyment at a Varsity Dance if it be
come tho ouetotn for ovoryone to at
tend the parties at the Coliseum?
"The Student Council desires to
have the opinion of your group as to
whether or not they favor as many
"ren" parties as are being held at
the present time. Although the Coun
cil has no power to limit the number
of parties, they intend to use this in
formation in making recommenda

According to Professor Swezey, an

The total eclipse of 1990 was od-

lasted one and one-half minutes. It
began just west of Mexico and ex

Africa.
The sun has a striking appearance
at this time. The disk itself is com
pletely dark, surrounded by a red
luminous ring and by a larger pale
known as the corona.
This is similar to the Aurora borealis

Nebraska Art Association Exhibition
Will Open Thursday In Morrill Hall
The first art exhibition to be held
in the new Morrill Hall begins to
morrow, under the auspices of the
Nebraska Art Association. It will end
March 13. The exhibit is open to the
public, and can be found in the new
art gallery on the second floor.
The exhibition celebrates the thirty-third
anniversary of the founding
of the Nebraska Art Association. For
this occasion a feature picture "Aca
demia" will be shown. A huge can
vas reaching from the floor nearly
to the ceiling and about one-half as
wide as it is long, portrays the spirit
of learning by means of female fig
ure of heroic size. This work by Ed
win Howland Blashfield is done in
a classic manner ana snows iuvc u
Rennaissance detail. There is nothing
to disturb the ideal sentiment nor the
onlookers' satisfaction.
Blashfield is one of the greatest
mural painters in America. His sub
jects are allegorical and formal, and
his figures always express dignity
and propriety. This artist excells in
his use of the white pigment, and
even under the searching light in an
art gallery the beholder may enjoy
the luminous tints of this difficult
color, from fleecy clouds to warm
flesh tints. We do not find in this
canvas the sun ioias oi arapery
which we so often associate with
mural painting.
There are many ways in which the
gallery visitor may "start" himself
at this exhibition. If he is looking
for familiar names, he will find a
score. If he wishes pictures to enjoy,
he will find a generous supply. If he
is interested in the moderns, he will
find a representative group. 1 1 he is
HUSKER QUINT
HANGS DEFEAT
ON PIONEERS
Nebraska Basketball Flippers
Win Non-conference Game
From Grinnell
SMAHA STARTS SCORING
High Point Honors Go to Cap
tain Smaha Who Collected
12 Out of 30 Counters
The Nebraska basketball quintet
took a non-conference game from
the Grinnell Pioneers last night at
the Coliseum 30 to 22. The game
lacked the usual speed that the Husk
ers have displayed in the past. The
first half ended with the Nebraska
cagers leading 15 to 12.
Captain Clark Smaha started the
scoring for the Huskers with a gift
shot when he was fouled by Chase.
The Nebraska forwards were getting
shot after shot only to muffle them in
their hurried attempt, and the Grin
nell guards were taking the ball off
the Nebraska backboard. For five
minutes the two quintets raced up
and down the floor with the Pioneer
five having the edge and taking the
lead, but the Nebraskans soon hit
their stride and went ahead, never to
be headed throughout the rest of
the game. The first Husker basket
came when Smaha fizzled a free
throw and Page, the giant Husker
center, tipped the ball through the
netting for his only tally from the
field during the evening.
High scoring honors of the eve
ning went to the Cornhusker cap
tain who with his running mate, Jug
Brown seemed 'to be the only men
when were upholding the reputation
of the Scarlet and Cream quintet
Smaha did some of the most spec
tacular one hand shooting that has
been seen on the Coliseum floor.
Snagging four baskets from the field
and counting four times from the
free-throw line, the honors for high
scorer went to the brilliant Nebras
ka forward.
Jug Brown was doing some bril
liant floor and basket work for the
Huskers but was relieved late in the
first half by Othmer. Four times
the running mate of Smaha counted
from the field, by both one handed
and high arch shots.
With but five minutes left in the
first half and the boys of Coach Black
having amassed a 15 to 5 lead over
the Grinnell five, the Pioneers crawl
ed up to a 15 to 11 score on free
throws alone before half time ended.

looking for recent prize winners, his
search will be rewarded. Wayman
Adams has exhibited here for the
past several years, also Robert Henri,
Halley Lever, Marie Damforth Page,
John Sloan and Frederick Waugh.
Among the pleasing pictures may be
mentioned "Sycamores", by Orren.
White; "Iris with Japanese Back
ground" by Emma Fordyce MacRae,
and the "Covered Bridge", by John
Spelman. Come the modernists with
the following canvasses: "Christ
Driving the Money Changers from
the Temple" by Anthony Angarola;
Parisian Interior" by Waldo Peirce.
In the prize winning group will be
found a figure painting of a young
woman in black resting on a sofa, en
titled "Bohemienne", the work of
Clifford Addams of New York. Eliza
beth Sparhawk-Jones of Philadelphia
won for her pictures "The Resting
Woodcutters" a prize of two hundred
and fifty dollars for the most com
mendable picture in the annual ex
hibition of American Painting in
Chicago.
This exhibition is a satisfying and
at th same time a thoroughly provok
ing one. Unlike the usual American
show which is overwhelmingly land
scape, this exhibition shows a large
number of portrait and figure paint
ings. Among them are examples of
well executed works which carry on
the traditions of the past, as well as
those which bear signs of fresh im
pulses of another era. Here will be
found an assembly of examples of
individuality. There are few common
place subjects, nearly everyone be
ing unique in some particular way.
