Having mastered the simpler steps, the pony chorus, under the direction of Jo Weaver, is now working on some more intricate ones. Some unusual numbers which brine out the best features of the dancers has been planned The story of the play concerns the plight of Bagatelle university to remain financially sol vent. Its future depends on whether it or Wallop U., the traditional rival, gets the money of a timid, football crazy corset manu facturer. The school which wins the annual game gets the cash. Naturally, the unusual happens with the climax coming in the final scene which is ac tually set as a football stadium.

Having a total list price of $5,425, the purchases were se lected from the 52nd annual exibition of the Nebraska Art as sociation which took place in Morrill hall during March by final judges Meyric R. Rogers, curator of decorative arts at the Chicago Art Institute and Fred S. Bartlett, curator of paintings at the Denver Art museum. The two major purchases this year are in fields of painting and sculpture. Max Weber's "Landscape," emphasizing French modem influence, is an oil depicting a dark forest. Weber recently has been accorded one of the great contemporary Amer ican painters. The second acquisition, "Seated Figure" is a bronze by Maurice Stern, who is already represented in the Hall collec tions by oil sketches. Because of the scarcity of bronze, this figure has taken on greater importance as one of the latest American works. Chosen for their use of different media, the remaining items demonstrate methods of drawing, painting and sculpture and are expected to be of some use to university students who are studying these methods. The new list marks a total of 51 items in the Hall collection since the bequest of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Hall in 1929. First public showing of the additions to the collections (See PICTURES, page 4.)
