A film without a living actor, "The Titan" uses magnificent photography to make the audience think the statues are almost alive. The works of one of the acknowledged masters of art, Michelangelo, have been photographed, many of them for the first time. Americans who will probably never get a chance to visit Rome will be able to see the famed ceiling of the Sistine chapel in Vatican City, as well as other master piecesthrough this remarkable film. College students will be the first to see the film, as it has not been released for general distribution as yet. Seeing "the Titan" is an ex perience which cannot be forgotten, say the critics. Through the generosity and thoughtfulness of a patron of the arts, the University of Nebraska will in the future . have an art gallery worthy of the name. Though some of the best art work in the country is owned by the University, display facilities are not of the best type. Through the be quest of Miss Frances Sheldon, a new art gallery will be possible which can do justice to the many art works m the University collection. Also in the line of fine arts is the concert which will be given by the University summer school chorus in the Union tomorrow night, Wednesday. Under the expert direction of .can jenKins, ine cnorus wiu present an nour long program of songs favorite with American audiences. To add to the evening, the Union is sponsoring an informal hour after the concert, when refreshments will be served. Reporter Turns Archeologist; Discovers Old Campus Relics Archeologists have long messed around with the Sphynx and the pyramids of Egypt; men from Morrill hall have been grovelling In the dirt near Cambridge, look ing for the dawn Nebraskan; now can be told the story of expedi tion sent forth by the Daily Ne braskan. The expedition consisted of one sad looking reporter. The pur pose of the expedition was to pro duce a supply of filler for the 'Ragw (Filler is something that is tucked into a paper just above the want ads). The area lo be explored was the never-never land between Hermie's Cafe and the football stadium. It might be noted that the area was once the cradle of Univer sity life, and is now covered with brick-and-limestone ruins and the new Ferguson halL The area is principally inhabited by tribes of law students and engineers who have little contact with civiliza tion. Female athletes, administra tion officials and a few other species have settled about the edges of the area. Students as a group see nothing of this area, except during a brief Saturnalia known as Ivy Day. The more observant present at that time may see: 1. A fair-sized boulder, some three feet across and two feet thick. A geography student called in for the occasion, scrutinized the rock through a magnifying glass and reported it was granite, made of hornblende, feldspar and quartz. How this fugitive from the Rocky Mountains comes to be on the lawn, only a historian could say. 2. A rock-and-cement monu ment to the class of 1909 that might be a cross between a foun tain and a bird-bath. Whatever it is, it is dry. 3. A smaller rock, inscribed "Dr. James Thomas Lees, 1888 1925, He served well." 4. A large bench of cut lime stone, circling- a tree. The menu- Gassified WANTED Soft bH ettdMr for Clan A League. CaH Andy at S-S234, ment is dated 1906 and is cov ered with scratched initials and such tender sentiments as "A. K. loves C. F." 5. A large tree surrounded with a wrought-iron fence. This is the famous "Schiller Linden." A placque dedicates it to Freidrich Johann Schiller, "Den grpssen Dichter und Denker," (the great poet and thinker). It was dedi cated by Professor Laurence Foss ler in 1905. 6. Farther west is a concrete pyramid inscribed with the em blem of Sigma Tau, and smeared with red-paint word "law." The latter is a momento of what may have been a clan feud. Also in the general area are two benches of undetermined age, made of crumbling concrete and rotting boards. Between Grant Memorial hall and the Geography buildings stand a lone wrought iron post, with no apparent pur pose in life. On top is a generous deposit of guano. By far the most prominent hunks of rock on campus are the Grecian pillars making up the colonnade overlooking . the ath lete field. These pillars are in habited only at night, and then only by affectionate couples and night-watchmen with flashlights. The story goes that the pillars were once part of a Burlington depot in downtown Omaha. They were presented to the University when the depot was razed to make way for a new structure. It seems the wrecking crew didn't know what else to do with them. Hastings Offers 'Vacation9 Study A "vacation for college credit is a feature of the Hastings college summer school. , A trip to Mexico City for three weeks was recently conducted by Hector Rico, instructor in Span ish. Included in the group of 20 persons who took the hip were college students, teachers, and nurses. Those who took the trip for college credit will complete the course with classes which began last week. Sun Valley Spotlight By Frank Jacob (This is the second in a series of ar ticles on Sun Valley, where a number or jnu students are worKing tms sum mer. Jacobs is the editor of Cornshucks, campus humor magazine.) With the summer season offi cially underway, sports enthusi asts of all kinds flock to Sun Val ley to take part in the wide variety of outdoor and indoor sports. These range from pool to lawn-bowling. Probably the most popular warm-air sport at the Idaho re sort is golf. The well-kept course is composed of 9 holes and 18 tees which provide a type of "poor man's 18." Although, in publicity blurbs, the course is not considered tricky, it is usually possible to comb the course after dusk and uncover several dozen lost balls. Another very popular sport is tennis. The cement-like courts provide the best in the racquet sport except when it rains. Then, unfortunately, obstinate puddles form on strategic sections of the courts. For those desiring a quick backward glance as civilization, tne Opera House provides a first run moving picture each night This writer enjoyed "Birth of a Nation" very much, but will feel better when the theater is equipped for sound. This usually is no obstacle because a much better show can be seen nightly at the ice-nnk. Electrically frozen, the ice-rink can usually be counted on to produce a native type of unrehearsed slapstick comedy. For the hunter who wishes to stay at home, there is a trap- shooting range. The big week of this range is that period when the Sun Valley Trapshooters Open is held. Riflemen from all sections of the Sawtooth Moun tains compete for the prizes. The trapshooting range provides one drawback in that it is situated a wee bit too close to the rough off number two fairway on the golf course. Often, the buckshot on face feels like sharp pellets of rain. More often, it feels like buckshot. We can't forget the swimming pools. Notice we said "pools." Yes, there are two one each at the Challenger Inn and Sun Val ley Lodge. These world-famed ponds are circular in the shape of a large bath tub containing water of tub temperature. There is no "swimming" in the regular sense . of the word on Saturday nights as this is Bath Night, the warm waters relieving the mo notony of a shower. Then, there are the minor sports: Badminton, where a bird in hand is worth close to nothing; bowling, six modern alleys con taining six trying pinboys; arch ery, a bow, six arrows, and two targets; horse-back-ridmg, where one steed may be a bottle of glue in a fortnight: then pool. Softball, lawn-bowling, boating, horse-shoe pitching, mountain- climbing, ping-pong, gopher-hunting, Canasta, bridge, and sleeping. finally, one cannot overlook the most popular indoor sport that combines the least physical "Professor Snarf should know Utter than lochir) to ngtiiMriae; students ! the whistl blew."
