Fun on Two Hits
It always makes us aorta sore
when near broke dating collegians
pull a long face and turn up their
eyes to heaven as if all the joys
had gone out of life. Mere pos
session of a fat wallet is no assur
ance that fun will be had. In
deed, putting a lot of cash into
circulation can be very very dull
especially if you aren't suffi
ciently used to the novelty of hav
ing a bankroll to go thru not to
wince at each expenditure. In the
last analysis, of course, it is the
companionship and not the enter
tainment that counts.
If you're paired off with some
one ingenious enough to get an
enormous wallop out of "doing
nothing" vou are lucky. For then
money Is'the least instead of the
most important consideration. So
we have dared to list six ways to
have fun on two bits. They are
sufficiently varied to suit almost
any available facilities and inclin
ations, and only the last two imply
the use of a car:
1. Two dime movies, one sack
pop corn.
2. Two cups coffee, playing of
three dance records.
3. One package cigarets, two
cokes.
4. Two double dip cones, one
gallon gas.
5. One phone call, two yum
yums. li-

"Figures don't lie, but liars figure" will be your first re
action to the above graph, if we should add that the size of
university classes is on the increase. For there, in black and
white, are lines showing- a drop from 1800 to 1400 degrees and
certificates granted in the last four years.
These figures don't lie, but they do fail to tell three-quarters
of the whole story. They show only the size of the senior
class the same class that enrolled in 1932 as the smallest fresh
man class in the past decade.
In fact, today's graph tells a more foreboding story than it
would if a steady increase in the graduating class was shown.
Total figures show that more students were enrolled in 1936
than in 1932; today's graph shows that the senior class was
SMALLER in 1936 than in 1932. That means there was a pro
portionally greater number in the underclasses a number that
will begin cropping out in total registration figures to em
barrass an insolvent university, as these record underclasses be
come our bumper senior classes. The percentage of enrollment
increase in the next few years will not be the slow, steady rise
that simply a larger freshman class would produce. The normal
percentage will be TRIPLED by the proportional increase in

Nebraska Art Association
Brings George Biddlc
to Temple Stage.
"Contemporary Tendencies in
American Art" is the subject of
the lecture which George Biddlc
prominent American artist, will
give at the Temple theater at 3;00
Sunday afternoon. Mr. Biddle's is
the first in the scries of Sunday
afternoon ti.'s to be given on art
while the annual exhibition of the
Nebraska Art association is in
progress. Originally scheduled for
the Morrill hall auditorium, the
lecture is being held in the Temple
theater in order to accommodate
the large number of members of
the Nebraska Art association,
university students and other in
terested persons who expect to at
tend.
Described bv the New iork
Times, a short time ago, as a
"mildly unconventional Philadel
phia artist," George Biddle is a
member of the prominent Phila
delphia family by the same name.
Tradition was in his background
and in his schooling. He was born
in lSSo in Philadelphia ana ne
attended the exclusive Groton
school for boys :'rom 1898-1904. In
1908 he was graduated from Har
vard with the A. B. magna cum
laude and in 1911 received the
LLd. degree from the same uni
versitv. Study abroad followed
Julien's Academy, Paris. 1912.
Then more art study at the
Pennsylvaina Academy of Fine
Arts 'in Philadelphia. 1912-1914.
The record of art study and work
is broken from 1917-1919 to allow
him to become a captain in the
infantry and assistant chief of
staff, First Army Corps. When the
war was over, his career was re
sumedand brilliantly.
Widely Known Artist.
Mention of even a few of the
places where his paintings are
owned is impressive: Venice (Arte
Moderna), Berlin, (Kaiser Fried
rich's Museum), New York, Chi
cago. Boston, Philadelphia, Denver.
Los Angeles, Dallas. But to stop
here is to leave out one of the
most important aspects of his
career, that of a mural painter.
