rwo THE DAILY NEBRASKA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1939 Registration's Evils Last week, Daily Ncbraskan news editors were scratching their heads over the wording of the headline on the registration story. The old "Hag" standby "Registration Mill Re gins Grinding Process" received its tradition al consideration. Rut no matter how you say it, reihlration week is with us. There arc those studenls who annually make a lot of hullabaloo over registration. In stead of following a well-mapped program of study laid out in the freshman year, they are constantly changing collies, schools and study courses with an eye toward . "pipe" courses that require little study. I'nivcrsity stude'its cannot he condemned for mak'i'.g changes motivated by un.'onlrol lalile factors. Economic conditions, for in stance, may make it obligatory for a student to drop pie-ined study and take less expensive bi.ad. Jt often takes a year or several semes ters for some s!i:d neither menially or tain subjects. This condition brought out by the regis tration process- brings to light the growing n el for further revisions in the University of Nebraska currieular setup. The regents showed the way last week by drastic instruc ts to discover they are physically fitted for ccr- tional and administrative changes. And there appears to be more to follow. One of the first major revamp projects to be tackled in the future is the lower division study plan which is now under faculty com mittee deliberation. This currieular change would group all freshmen during their first year and tutor them in a large scale freshman lecture course. After this general course of study, during which the yearlings get a sam pling of all that the university has to offer, they are free to choose their specific fields. The lower division plan includes special apti tude tests which would aid the students in finding the course of study best suited to their abilities. To all students, registration week is an important time in a collegiate career of scholastics or activities. To the seniors who graduate this June, it is the last time they stand in long lines and impatiently wait their turns to fill out detailed cards and programs. To the undergraduates, it is an other half-milestone in the four or five years a-ademic path. To the genuine students, it is another opportunity to invade new fields or to penetrate deeper into the scholastic unknowns of higher education. And to the poor activity students, it is the start of an other semester in which the requirements and "pipe" courses are lined up to dovetail with the busy extra-curricular phases of col lege life. Nebraskans View Surrealism As Scissors Stick in Wall, Bodies Float on Canvas in Morrill Exhibit Pictures hang: from scissors stuck in the wall, serpentine falls in tangled masses about the room, an iron chisel looks down mena cingly from overhead, and Ne braska, both university and state, has its first exhibition of sur realistic art.

Tacks and Burlap. Rivalling the pictures of Castel- lon for the attention of gallery goers are tacks, chains tack boxes, pin boxes, bits of colored card board, drapes of burlap, bows of wire, and casts of heads and hands which provide the proper atmosphere for Castcllon. Surrealistic art, according to a member of the Fine Arta staff, expresses the drep.m life cr the sub-conscious life of human na ture.

Favorite surrealism subjects for Castellon are extremely high heeled shoes walking by them selves or hanging on trees, naked bodies floating in the air, figures of men in evening clothes hadf burled in the desert or ocean, and long beards growing out of any thing.

The shapes of his figures show excel lent draftsmanship as well b.i an unusual mind.
