Dr. C. Elliott
Discusses
' Closed Shop
Comparative efficiency of
closed shops and those in which
the workers are not organized
brings the conclusion that closed
shops are more efficient, Dr.
v Curtis Elliott of the economics
department told the Lincoln Fed
eration of Teachers at their meet
ing this week.
"If you believe in the prin
ciples of organized labor and the
fair process of collective bargain-
i"g. you must believe in the ef
fectiveness of the closed shop,"
Elliot- said.
"I think adoption of the anti
c'.osed shop amendment would be
undesirable for both labor and
management. The closed shop is
essential to labor insofar as the
strength and unity of the closed
shop are necessary to fair col
lective bargaining. The employer
would find that in a closed shop
the union tends to be more con
servative in its demands, pos
it sesses higher morale, and is more
efficient," Dr. Elliott continued.
"I would rather see a situation
develop whereby the government
would try bringing the two groups
together to try to settle their dis-
putes on a voluntary basis. It
appears to me that labor and
management must have equal
strength in collective bargaining
. in order to fulfill the real purpose
of the American way of life," he
added.
Discusses School Amendment.
Dr. Leroy Laase, director of the
speech . department, discussed the
school aid amendment slated for
the November elections at the
same meeting.
"The proposed $40 per pupil
bill, sponsored by the Nebraska
Congress of Parents and Teach
ers, the Nebraska School Boards
association and the Nebraska Ed
ucation association, is opposed
mainly by the Nebraska Educa
tional Foundation, with 'a dis
gruntled personality' as its head,"
Laase explained. "The Nebraska
Education Foundation is the first
educational organization on rec
ord as actually trying to sabotage
education."
45 States Have Equalization.
"The Nebraska Educational
Foundation has fine co-operation
between its finances and its lead
ers, some of the smoothest opera
tors in Nebraska," said Dr. Laase.
ti He also stated that 45 states have
adopted equalization plans, and as
far as education is concerned, Ne
braska is "the black spot of the
nation."
The aid given by 33 of these 45
states, according to Dr. Laase,
ranges from $95 to $65 per pupil.
He said that California now has
a proposal to boost its figure from
$90 to $120.
The amendment in Nebraska, If
passed, said Dr. Laase, would
benefit Nebraska school children
through audio-visual methods of
education, more educational guid
ance, special education for the
handicapped, and would provide
for better prepared and better
paid teachers.

Kirsch Describes Midivest Art
Progress In Current Magazine
By Mark Wittenberg
Dwight Kirsh, chairman of the
University art department de
scribes the amazing advancement
of midwestern art exhibition in
the October issue of "Magazine of
Arts.
This article "Exhibiting and
Collective Art in the Midwest"
reasons that the new art now seen
in smaller galleries on this sec
tion of the country is chiefly due
to the war and Federal Art Proj
ects of the WPA.
Two-fold Effect.
There has been a two-fold ef
iect irom these past events, one
being the display of local talent
instead of depending upon a few
noted shows, while the other is
ine greater co-operation among
the art galleries by the inter
change of local exhibits. The cir
culation of art is now so noticible
that it is not unusual to see art
shows in department stores,
schools, churches, libraries and
county fairs, stated Mr. Kirsch.
Though local art is flourishing,
it is necessary not to forget the
larger exhibitions in this part of
the nation. The Six States Ex
nioit at Josiyn Memorial in
Omaha, the Missouri Artists An
nual in St. Louis and Kansas City,
Gallery of Everyday Art at the
Walker Art Center in Minneapolis,
the Chicago Art Institute Ameri
can Painting Annual, and the Ne
braska Art Association's Contem
porary Art Annual. All of these
are the basis for midwestern dis
play that adds greater inducement
to contemporary artists of this
section.
Specialization,
Another feature that cannot be
overlooked is the specialization
feature in the building up of pri
vate collections. Before this time,
every private collection tried to
copy that of another well known
group, added Mr. Kirsch. This has
changed as we now observe the
efforts at gathering art of a par
ticular kind by various organiza
tions.
Examples of this is the prevel

which are rapidly Increasing In
amounts. We see this at Nebraska
university by the expenditure of
$5,000 fox the annual purchase
of art.
Mr. Kirsch concluded this article
by stating, with travel and settle
ment again taking place in the
midwest, the possibilities of new
art for art hungry individuals is
indeed an encouraging prospect
with unlimited possibilities.
