Art exhibit
features
water colors
Millard Sheets' work
comprises principal
portion of showings
Principal exhibitor in the art
exhibit which opened in Morrill
Sunday is a young California artist
showing 28 water colors. Famous
since his twenties, at thirty-two,
Millard Sheets has had his works
included in the Carnegie Interna
tional Exhibit at Pittsburgh in
1935. and his paintings not only
are in demand for exhibitions
V throughout the country but they
find enthusiastic buyers.
Lincoln people have shown an
Interest in the work of Millard
Sheets since an exhibition spon
sored by the Nebraska Art Asso
ciation several years ago first
brought his ability to the atten
tion of the public here. Since then
several of his paintings have been
considered for purchase.
Works in many styles.
Although he works in almost
every imaginable medium, nis
present exhibition is limited to
water color. California and Mexi
can landscapes apparently are his
favorite subjects, but horses with
proud arched necks and a spirited
classic beauty also intrigue him,
for they figure in many of his
landscapes. Other subjects which
interest him are ships and old
buildings.
The Millard Sheets exhibition
will continue until October 15, and
may be seen on Sundays from 2
until 5 in Gallery A of Morrill
hall. Other days of the week the
exhibition is open from 9:00 a. m.
until 5:00 p. m. As in the past, all
exhibitions presented by the uni
T versity are open to the public
without charge.
Other exhibitions.
Among other special exhibitions
brought to Lincoln from other art
centers are a group of paintings
of New England subjects by New
England artists; an exhibition of
work by the Kansas painter, Karl
Mattern; a collection of paintings
by Georges Schreibcr of New
York, and a joint exhibition of
the work of two niidwesUrn sculp
tors, Joe Taylor of the University i
of Oklahoma and Harry Stinson
of the University of Iowa. Climax
of the year's exhibition activities
will come in March when the Ne- i
liraska Art Association will hold
its annual exhibition, the largest
and most inclusive art show of i
the season.

Players end
ticket sales
Wednesday, last day to
buy seasons ducats
University Players ticket cam
paign will end at 5 p. m. tomor
row. Because of difficulty in con
tacting students, the drive has
been lengthened one day. Friday
the Tassels had sold 67J from a
quota of 1.500 tickets.
"Lack of student interest in this
traditional activity is hard to un
derstand, in the light of the fact
that the University Players is one
of the most active organizations
of its type in the country," said
Business Manager Hunter. "This
is our twenty-fifth year. Few or
ganizations can boast a better
record, and few college theaters
will ever present as new and well
known productions as this univer
sity's own group, he added.
More tickets have been sold to
day than any other day of the
, campaign, and all indications are
that salts will continue to increase

The Players will present five
plays this year. "Our Town," a
play without scenery which won
the Pulitzer prize last year, has
been definitely chosen for the
opening production.
Campus GOP's gain scant
margin of .7 over Demos
Student opinion shifted from its
50-50 stalemate of last week
slightly to the republican side of
the fence with 50.7 per cent of the
students interviewed in the weekly
DAILY NEBRASKAN political
survey favoring a change of parties
in the 1940 elections.
Interviews with more than one
per cent of the student body en
rolled in the university this fall
showed little change in the popu
larity of the presidential candi
dates, with the exception that the
democrats are becoming more uni
fied in their support of Roosevelt,
and the republicans are swinging
into line behind New York's Dis
trict Attorney, Thomas E. Dewey.
From the straight 30 per cent
following of last week, Roosevelt
advanced in popularity to 36.3 per
cent, while Dewey moved up pro
portionately to 30.3 per cent.
No objection to third term.
On the question of a third term,
48.5 per cent of the students inter
viewed saw nothing wrong with
the principle of a man serving 12
years or even more, but many of
these were definitely opposed to
Roosevelt keeping that office. This
figure showed a decided change of
face on behalf of the students from

tober 1, by vote of the board of
managers meeting last week. Miss
Lahr replaces Mrs. Veva Mae
Yinger who resigned the post in
July to study dramatics in Marie
Ouspanskaya's school in Holly
wood. "My aim is to find a means to
bring into the Union the largest
percentage of students," Miss Lahr
declared as she took over her new
office. Plans she indicated are not
as yet mature enough for publica
tion, adding that it is her desire
to never promise anything or to
announce anything which she can
not make a reality.
Familiar with student Interests.
"Naturally having been a stu
dent on the campus and acquainted
with campus affairs and organiza
tions, I feel that I have some in
sight at least into the desires of
the students," the new director
explained. Her work in her new
capacity, Miss Lahr considers to
be one of contact with as many in
dividuals as possible. The familiar
ity which she has with student in
terests, she feels will put her on a
plane of understanding with those
with whom she must deal.
Miss Lahr was outstanding in
activities and scholarship during
her four years at Nebraska. As a
senior she became one of the few
women who have ever held the
Cornhusker editorship.

music series
Symphony to feature
Krehm on first show
The Lincoln Symphony orches
tra will open its seven concert se
ries Nov. 10 with Ida Krehm, well
known musician and winner of
three major awards at the piano.
Tickets are now on sale for the
complete series at the school of
music.
Since the university has no mus
ical series comparable to he an
nual Symphony program, it usually
sponsors the series by making
available to the students season
tickets at reduced prices. The stu
dent ticket price of $3.50 however,
is good only to those presenting
their identification cards.
Among the notables featured
with the orchestra on each of its
programs will be Rise Stevens,
messo soprano. Vronsky and Bab-
in, headliners of the 1937-1938 sea
son as duo pianists, Francescatti,

Corps of police to look
after stadium sobriety
Seventy-five "plain clothes" men
are to be stationed in the stadium
and at the gates by Sergeant Reg
ler during football games, mainly,
to try to eliminate drinking. Two
police captains have been ap
pointed to aid Regler and direct
the crew.
Regler says he intends to en
force a Nebraska statute which
makes it unlawful to consume al
coholic liquors upon property
owned by the state. The statute
carries a maximum fine of $500
and costs and 30 days in jail.
Every bottle of liquor seen will be
confiscated and broken, he con
tinued, and any drunk person caus
ing a disturbance will be arrested.
Students co-operate very vrll
and very few have been seen drink
ing in the stadium since Regler
has been stationed here, he said.
If a student is caught drinking
he is liable to be punished by the
university as well as the law.
Regler also asks that students
do not leave their parked cars un
locked at night because valuable
articles are likely to be stolen.
Many unlocked cars have been
seen lately, especially in front of
the greek houses.

Realizing that the yearbookies
will lay claim to supreme intel

the Cornhusker chances: "Absence
