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.
The Fine Arts department has
on display In Gallery A of Morrill
tha works of Frederico Castellon,
young Spanish artist of the new
surrealistic school: So that the
gallery will be in keeping with the
spirit of the artist, Prof. Dwight
Kirsch and his pupils have done
the :Oom according to their own
interpretations of surrealism.
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. The picture that Castellon

draws are not what he sees with
his physical eye but what he sees
in dreams. Therefore most sur
realistic art is of a highly per
sonal nature.
Floating Slippers.
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 artist Is a find of tha
Mexican surrealism authority,
Diego Rivera. His work Is especi
ally interesting because he has had
no formal art education. The
shapes of his figures show excel
lent draftsmanship as well b.i an
unusual mind.
Also on exhibit are well known
surrealistic covers that have ap
peared on the front, of Vogue and
Harper's Bazaar, some prints
from Life Magazine illustrating
the surrealistic school, and some
explanatory articles.
The exhibition will be shown

This week, thruout the world
photographers are celebrating the
centennial of their calling.
Just 100 years ago yesterday, in
small town in France, Louis
Jacques Daguerre. godfather of
modern photography, gave tne
world its first camera and photo
graph. At the same time, he also
presented Us with the Immortal
"tin-type," when his pictures were
leveloed from sensitized copper
plate.
Daguerre s camera, considered
mafrical in his day, could scarcely
have foretold the major steps
which photography would take in
the next 100 years, when the world
would consider wirephoto, fine
photography and moving pictures
as part of its routine life.
This week, in commemoration
of Daguerre's achievement, Life
presented a photo taken with Da
guerre's ancient camera. Tho phO'
lographcr patched the leaka of the
ancient box with mending tape
stuck some over the aperature
punched a tiny hole to give the
picture depth, and took the mag
agine'a best photo of the week..
