sibly Colorado, and Wyoming. The

vacation and a short time after
ward. Insects Sport
Flashy Colors
For Collection
Prilliant dashes of color, typical
of the tropics and the Orient, are
to be seen even in the insects ftom
ilinse places. E. F. Powell, zoology
instructor, and G. K. Hudson, grad
uate assistant In fees6ey hall, own
collections of "bugs" fror., China,
Japan, Africa, Madagascar aud Pan
ama. These specimens are noted for
heir extraordinary size, shajie and
striking color. In tact, Mr. Hudson
calls his collection the "Oh My"
box because of the ejaculations that
come forth when the box is opened.
Mv. Powell's collection was
brought back from an island in the
Panama Canal tone by O. L. Wil
liams. '27, who spent six weeks
tticre this summer. It consists of in
sects from one-eighth of an inch
in length to the two-and-one half
inch rose-colored flat-headed bores
which burrow into wood. He also
has a grasshopper from Panama
about four and three-fourths inches
l"ng. This is considered an average
sized grasshopper. '
Mr. Hudson, who comes from
South Carolina, was fortunate in
bning a number of specimens, and
obtains many others by an ex
change with a young man in Africa.
His largest Insect is the Hercules
Rhinoceros beetle from South
America. It is six inches long and
about one and one-half inches wide.
Hall of its length is made up or a
long heavy horn extending from
the thorax. A smaller Insect from
Shanghai, bright green and red
ith small rpots on its back, re
sembles a strawberry, Mr- HuJ"
son described it.
Outstanding beauty is aeen in
these nu'lti-colored creatures. Turn
ing them in the light reveals many
colors through from beneath. The
inidescent greens and blues shin
ing makes one feel certain that they
have been polished. Others look as
If k paint brush had fceen used to
dub on .ie spots of black and white.
Theii irridescence, according to Mr.
Powell, is sometimes seen only in
certain seasons.

Zoologist Thinks Persons
Should Have Their
Own Beliefs
GROWTH IS NECESSARY
"It Isn't desirable for everyone
to have the same religion," said
Dr. C. H. Wolcott, chairman of the
department of soology, speaking at
the World Forum luiiclieou Wed
eusday noon. "Each person should
have a religion of his own, based
on his own experiences and prin
ciples. His religion Bhould grow
as he grows. To have the same
religion for everyone would be un
satisfactory. Only a scientist should
accept a scientist's religion."
Religion and church are not
synonymous. In Dr. Wolcott 'a opin
ion. All religion Involves the idea
of a deity, and man's relation to
thl deity. "I see everywhere about
me," he continued, "the operation
of the same laws and principles.
These are the laws of the uni
verse. The God that I believe In
must be a universal God. 1 find
my deity in the supreme authority
behind the laws of the universe."
Dr. Wolcott believes that spirit
uality is the factor which enables
one to realize his place in the uni
verse. It Is each person's respon
sibility to recognize the laws of
the universe,- and to live according
to these laws, helping others when
ever possible.
"We may regard the universe
from four different viewpoints." he
said. "We may think of it as
static something which was cre
ated and set going, never to run
down. We may consider it as ret
rogressive, but this Idea is abhor

cause several orchestras were un
der consideration. The committee,
after negotiating with leading
hands In Kansas City, Omaha and
Chicago, booked Iew Caskey and
his group. Lew Caskey was almost
signed up for the Prom the early
part of the week, but. no announce
ment was made until he had signed
"on the dotted line."
I The Prom committee feels very
fortunate in ngaging an orchestra
with a reputation that this one has.
With thU music, the; Prom com
mittee feels that Nebraska is uc
e"ssful!y competing with other
schools in securing music for it
major social function. Lew Caskey's
name guarantees unusually good
music.
Tickets for the From were placed
on sale yesterday afternoon. They
may be procured for three dollars
each from fraternity representa
tives, or members of the committee,
or at the Cornhusker office any af
ternoon. Painting Choice

. The tendency of those viewing
the pictures is a preference to the
conservative form of art, although
the modernistic paintings have at
tracted much interest. '1 lie Interest
seems to be accounted for by the
lact that most of the adult visitors
are plainly puzzled, especially by
"Arrangement." by Arthur B. Car
les, which was recently awarded
the Mr. and Mrs. Frank G. Logan
medal, with $1,500. Many different
theories as to the meaning of "Ar
rangement" and many guesses as
to the artist's purpose were made
by the visitors.
Modernistic painting is no mys
tery to children, however. It was
reported by Miss Charlotte Klier,
supervlwiv of art in Lincoln
public schools, that the children
view "Arrangement" without ques

It and the other pictures of the ex
