New Permanent Decorations
Are Hung Up, in Field
House Monday.
Temporary installation of the
new coliseum decorations for a fi
nal inspection before they are com
pleted for use will be finished
soon, John K. Selleck, director of
student activities, stated yesterday
afternoon. Workmen started to
put up the decorations yesterday.
The material ready for installa
tion, at the present time consists
of an immense sky-blue expanse of
velvet which will form an artificial
ceiling for the field house. It will
be suspended some distance from
the firders supporting the ceiling
and will cover the overhead space
completely.
Other material received includes
the purple tapestry which will be
used to cover the side walls of the
coliseum. The whole interior of
the building will be changed in
appearance and all unsightly parts
of the structure will be obscured
by the decorations.
After all of the decorations have
been temporarily installed, they
will undergo a final inspection,
Sellack announced. He said that
a few minor mistakes had been
discovered in the decorations, but
none of them is serious and will
not delay the completion of the
hangings.
SECOND NEWS CLASS
Laurence Hall Instructed
Reporters in Getting,
Writing Stories.
Thirty-five Daily Nebraskan re
porters attended the newswriting
class held last Saturday at ten
o'clock in the Nebraskan offices.
The class was second in a series
being sponsored by the staff to
acquaint new reporters with the
fundamentals of the business, as
no first year journalism courses
are given.
The reporters were given in
structions in writing interesting
and accurate news stories by Lau
rence Hall, editor of the publica
tion, who described the steps in
getting and composing the story.
He emphasized the fact that the
paper is dependent upon its re
porters for stories, and befors the
paper can succeed, reporters must
be successful.
The date for the distribution of
regiilar beats i still indefinite, but
will probably be during the latter
part of this'week. "The reporters
have been showing great interest
in their work," stated Hall, "and
their rapid advancement has been
reflected in their stories."

Prof. Cunningham Says That
Education Methods Are
At Fault.
INSTALLS OWN METHODS
The modern university system
places too much emphasis on
grades, diplomas, and antiquated
standards of teaching instead of
stimulating the student's individua
lism and mental self-dcvelopmeat.
according to Prof. Harry F. Cun
ningham, head of the university
architecture department.
"Architectural Education." writ

appearing in the latest issue of
"Architecture" presents Cunning
ham's views on educational ideas
contained in a letter from a friend
of his. ideas which Cunningham,
without hesitancy, says he himself
believes.
"Too many of our present day
college students come to the uni
versity inadequately prepared for
college work.'' Professor Cunning
ham declared. "...A certain part
of every young mind's develop,
ment must be accomplished along
standard lines and according to
standard formulae ... for example,
the fundamentals of grammar and
use of language, mathematics, his
tory, natural sciences. But. all of
these fundamentals should be at
tended to before youth enters into
the fair, free pasture upon which
the university gate should open.
Too often these fundamentals are
grossly neglected in high schools
with the result that the college
student must waste his time on
monotonous, dull and standardized
patterns of learning "
"The university." Professor Cun
ningham continued, "should b an
institution for individual develop
ment. The student should be able
to come and go as he wishes,
should be made to feel that he is
developing himself on his own in

went to' New Mexico to interview

the picture and found that it cane

The picture, one of the most re

according tn Collins, will be a
