of the present requirement of two

"Room in New York," an oil
painting- by Edward Hopper, has
just been purchased by the Uni
versity for the Frank M. Hall art
collection. This painting, which is
being shown in the forty-sixth an
nual exhibition of the Nebraska
Art association, is considered one
of Holer's best works, and has
attracted national attention. Of
his picture, Hopper says:
"The idea had been in my mind
a long time before 1 painted it. It
was suggested by glimpses of
lighted interiors seen as I walked
along city streets at night, prob
ably near the district where I live
(Washington Square) although it's
no particular street or house but is
really a synthesis of many impres
sions." Hopper Prominent Artist.
Hopper, who was born in 1882
and was a pupil of Henri, Kenneth
Hayes Miller, and William Chase,
holds an established place among
contemporary American artists.
His paintings have received many
prizes and awards, and he is rep

SIGMAXI DINNER
TO
ACTIVITY PLANS
Marvin Announces Meeting
Of Executives to Hear
Proposed Program.
That executives of college de
partmental organizations will meet
Tuesday afternoon In University
hall to hear a proposed program
for organized class activity was
announced Saturday by James
Marvin, senior class president.
Last week, Marvin advocated the
creation of an administrative
council with representatives from
each college that would have au
thority to take initiative in pro
grams that might be used as ciass
organization projects. This week,
representatives from existing or
ganizations will debate whether
such a council would be practic
able. Plan Abolishes Officers.
"In proposing a new council last
week," Marvin slated, "the aboli
tion of honorary class officers was
included as part of the plan. This
step was entirely a matter of ex
pediency, Agreed upon by the Jun
ior president and myself, to pre
vent the council, should it take ef
fect, from becoming a mere addi
tion to offices that clutter up Ne
braska's student government sys
tem. "We found, however, a general
opposition to this move based on
the idea that class offices are one
of Nebraska's few traditions. To
press this point would be to lose
sight of our main objective; the
class council could operate just as
effectively If ciass officers still ex
isted." Freshman Week.
Chief issue now being considered
as a class project, according to
Marvin, is a renovated and more
extensive freshman week, which
would bring added activity for
separate colleges. A representa
tive of the faculty committee for
freshman week will probably be in
attendance at the meeting, Marvin
disclosed, to suggest plans for co
operating in the program.
