SIGH A DELTA CHI TO BRING ACTION TO OBTAIN PRIZE Journalistic Fraternity Seeks To Force University Night Committee to Pay $20 ANNOUNCED AS WINNERS Contend that Committee Is Ob ligated Because Skit Is De clared the Winner Action against the University Night committee ,and the University Y. M. C. A. is to be taken soon by Sigma Delta Chi because of the re fusal of the committee to pay the $20 prize to the organization for the skit entitled "Durham Time," it -was re vealed Saturday afternoon. The skit will not be presented at University Night. According to com mittee members this is because the University Players were unable to take the time to prepare the skit. Members of Sigma Delta Chi, how ever, stated Saturday that the real reason for not presenting the skit is that it is considered to be too start ling an expose of fraternitp politics. It was also brought out by mem bers of the professional journalistic fraternity that some of the members of the University Night committee figured rather conspicuously in the skit and that this might have also had some bearing on the committee's ac tion on the matter. "Due to the fact that we had to change the dace of University Night so that it came almost at the same time as the Players' production of 'The Merchant of Venice' it will be impossible to present the skit. This in my opinion relieves the committee of any obligation to pay the prize," said V. Royce West chairman of the Uni versitp Night committee, when told of the impending action. "The announcement was made that a prize would be given .for the best skit submitted. We submitted our skit and it was announced in The Daily Nebraskan that we had won the prize," said Victor T. Hackler, pres ident of the local chapter of Sigma Delta Chi. "Now the committee re fuses to' pay the prize or produce the (Continued on Pag-3 Two.) PDRDDE DEAN WILL ADDRESS ENGINEERS A. A.

Landscapes To Be On Display In Art Galleries During the month of April, an ex hibition of the Norwegian landscapes of Wm. H. Singer, Jr., will be on display in the art galleries of Morrill Hall. Singer is an American artist, yet he is spiritually un-American. Having withdrawn to a village in a hidden corner of Norway, his landscapes por tray his love and knowledge of that country's beauty. He is not a roman tic artist such as Casper David Fried rich, or Runge, nor does he attempt to express nature philosophically, or show it doing acrobatic stunts. He does, however, bring a rare under- . standing to the subject of the natural li ndscape in her changing mooda. By m?ans of his technical knowledge of pastels he is able to create emotion and rhythm from the play of light in different seasons. The poet in the . artist is revealed by the placing and blending of his rich harmonv c- -?olor, as well a by the titl-a of hi fix tures. His feeling for itmosphere shows the impressionism of Monet and SegantlnL .While he resembles several of the Pointings, he h?" t4j ated a manner of painting all l.Ii own which comes nearest to Segantlne, without his being at all a follower. f. i
