(Editor's Note: The following
story is a prize winner in the fea
ture story contest sponsored by
the Nebraska Art Association. It
was written by Mildred Quick.

By Mildred Quick.
What value is the Nebraska Art
Association exhibition to the uni
versity student? Upon watching
the reactions of particular stu
dents or groups of students to cer
tain works in the show one comes
to realize that there are several
different types of values obtained.
The exhibition's value to art
students is probably the most ex
extensive and noticeable of all. To
study examples of the fundamental
methods and techniques of artis
tic expression they have been,
working with is of special educa
tional value to them.
Foreign Art.
The inclusion of European
works in the exhibition this year
offers a new opportunity in see
ing the relation of the works of

various countries and brings
greater understanding of the con
temporary American works by
presenting some of their European
predecessors.
In addition, the exhibition
brings forth special lectures and
calls noted art authorities from
near and far to speak about and
discuss the works in the show,
These lectures have something to
give both the art student and
those of other major interests
since the speakers admost always
relate their discussion of the art
world to the world in general.
Student Advantage.
University students are at a
particular advantage to get a great
deal out of the exhibition for they
can visit the galleries frequently.
It is by continual browsing thru
the exhibition and studying of the
works that one can obtain most
value from the show.
It seems to me that to students
as a whole the exhibition is of

Dr. F. Hoover
Discusses Vet
Accreditation
Dr. Floyd W. Hoover, univer
sity assistant director of admis
sions, stated that universities and
colleges render veterans a "great
disservice" by granting easy ad
mi s s i o n and "indiscriminate
credits" for service experiences
when he spoke before a meeting
of the Hastings College Faculty
Friday on the problem of accredit
ing veterans.
"Many young men who spent
years normally devoted to college,
in the armed forces, are convinced
a college degree is the only way
to . make up for time lost they
might have otherwise gained in
civilian experience. The GI Bill
of Rights crystalized this feeling
and today colleges and universities
are being flooded with admission
requests from thousands of vet
erans," Dr. Hoover emphasized.
Fair Break.
While this may be a desirable
and commendable development.
the institutions owe it to the
people of Nebraska who support
them, and to the prestige of the
degrees they grant, to give the
veteran a fair break by making
him earn his degree instead of
handing it to him on a silver plat
ter, according to Dr. Hoover. He
added, "many veterans at the uni
versity have told us they don't
want a 'spoon fed degree.' "
Proper evaluation of a veteran's
knowledge can be accurately de
termined by standardized guid
ance examinations, Dr. Hoover
said.
outside the state: study the man's
background and history; then
recommend a limited number of
possible chancellors for final un
animous vote by the entire Board
of Regents.
President Devoe stated that the
primary qualification of a man
must be that he is a scholar, and
recognized as such by high rank
ing scholars of the United States.
He must be an executive, an ad
ministrator, and be able to co-operate
with the students, the fac
ulty, the legislature, and finally
with the people of the state.
Dean R. Goss asked Devoe if the
regents meant to submit names of
candidates to the faculty commit
tee for investigation.
"We intend to do just that,"
