"Nothing is safe on Friday or Saturday nights," claimed one discour2ed housemother. In an other's opinion the situation has passed the "prank" stage and needs -to be dealt with by a more militant dean of men. . The bouses reported thefts ranging from ash trays, light bulbs and rases to lamps, sofa pillows and an expensive coffee table. House trophies appeared to be high on the list of pre ferred articles as their loss was mentioned by numerous houses. The type of stolen items furth ered the suspicious of three housemothers that the articles are being used to help furnish apartments. The majority of housemothers felt that groups of University men are responsible for the thefts while two doubted that University stu- property. "This is the disgrace of the campus," declared one house mother. "I will be ashamed of the University if something is not done." This seemed to be the general view taken by the housemothers who said time and time again, "Why should they do It?" The extent and duration of these acts is such that it is no longer humorous or tolerable, agreed the housemothers, and if given a chance through the co operation of the students, they would like to remove the bolts from the doors and the bars from the windows. , (See editorial on page two and picture feature on page one.) SEARCH WEEK SPEAKER Dr. M. Niemoeller Called 'Controversial' Pastor The opinion was issued by Time magazine about Dr. Nie moeller, who will speak in the Coliseum as a preface to Search Week, March 23 to 27. His ad dress will be co-sponsored by the Lincoln Ministerial associa tion and the Search Week committee. n T 11 i - f n &;ITSlbly bC 6111117 f Evangelical (Lutheran) pastor who recently visited Kussia. such activities, The answer, "What can we do?"

Still others felt the need for more restrictions on the boys' activities and a curb ing of their hours of roaming. "You can't keep the doors locked," one stated, "and you can't keep a- girl sitting in the hall to watch for intruders." According to the housemothers, their activities now seem to include that of house American." Students claimed they were threatened with loss of credit hours if they didn't attend. Dr. Martin Niemoeller, who will speak at the University March 10. is one of the most controversial religious figures of present day. "We were given a lot of talk about freedom of religion in Russia and that Stalin is a child of God," complained a student who was a prisoner of the Ger- I mans in World War II. The school's vice-president, Charles Thrift, said he saw nothing: "un American" about the speech. "They just don't like to go to chapel," he said of the students. The German Protestant leader was a U-boat commander in the German navy during World War I. He became known as the "scourge of Malta" because of his submarine activities. Dr. Niemoeller offered his serv ices to Hitler as a submarine com-1 mander in World War II, but later changed his mind and withdrew, He is quoted as saying, "I am no longer an officer and I feel that can never De a soiaier lor any cause other than God's." Because of his defiance of Hitler, he was confined to concentration camps during World War II. When Hitler first came to power Niemoeller said he wel comed him under the impression that church and state would be reinstated. Hitler and Niemoeller were both anti-democratic and anti-republican in their beliefs. A difference in opinion over the status of re' ligi'on led to Niemoeller's arrest. .

What do you think of the campus trend across the nation to adopt a Help Week in place of Hell Week? ANSWERS Pat Ball, sophomore, Arts and Sciences, independent: I'm for Help Week because it has worked to advantage on other cam puses. After all, Hell Week is rather childish. Dwaine Van Pelt, senior, Teachers college, affiliated: Hell Week held within reason should not be changed. It's an old tradi tion that you can look back on and enjoy. It's something to be re membered and years later you'll get together and reminisce about the fun in it. Wayne Bailey, junior, pharmacy, independent: I believe that there is just as much "hell" in Help Week as ther is in Hell Week. The fraternities might just as well incorporate humility in their pledges while doing something good for the community. It would also help the fraternities by giving them a good base of reason for their actions so prospective pledges will not be repulsed by the things they have heard about Hell Week. Bea Beutel, freshman. Arts and Sciences, affiliated: If in Help Week they do constructive work which would improve their fra ternity house and the community, then the whole public attitude would be more toward the understanding and acceptance of fra ternities. L. D. Villars, graduate student in Teachers colege, indepen dent: Help Week is a good idea. The pledges might as well exert their energy on worthwhile projects. Hell Week is just an endur ance contest Marvin Schuman, sophomore, Arts and Sciences, affiliated: Unaffiliated students aren't in a good position to comment on the true worth of Hell Week. Hell Week is necessary to maintain a strong fraternity spirit They require work details of their piedges during fraternity appreciation week which are improve ments that are needed around the house. Nancy Rutledge, freshman, Teachers college, independent: I don't think Hell Week should be changed. It helps keep up tra ditions. They really have fun when they think about it later. It also gives them consideration for others. George Bauer, sophomore, Teachers college, Indpendent: I be lieve Hell Week is all in fun, but they shouldn't carry it too far. It makes you appreciate your fraternity more than just being ini tiated without any traditions. Of course Help Week is good pub licity for fraternities. , Pinning Can Mean Jail, Fine Says Old Nebraska Statute By HAMILTON HOWARDE Staff Writer The Nebraska Art association's 62nd annual March show will be unveiled to the public Monday at the University galleries in Mor rill hall. A private opening was held Sunday for members of the NAA and the University an ae-partmetlt. Containing over 150 works of art the show this year places em phasis on the development of styles and schools of painting. Also included in the exhibition are watercolors, prints, ceramics and pieces of sculpture. All of the pieces in the show were collected m tne tasi, irum museums, art dealers and private collectors. Most of the artists represented are internationally known, and many or tne worits have won prizes and awards in competitive exhibitions. Gallery director Duard W. Laging and assistant director Norman A. Geske have arranged the show in such a way that it has wide appeal to both the lay nan and the aesthete. An at--empt has been made to illus trate how one style develops out of another as the artist tries to interpret the world about him. Photographs are exhibited with certain paintings to show how closa an abstraction comes to cer tain! aspects of the natural world. In other cases, extreme differ ences in interpreting subject-matter have been accented by plac ing the works of popular tradi tionalists side-by-side with those of exponents of the various mod- irn schools. Such differences may be no ticed in the treatment of re ligious themes, such as Leo nardo Cremonini's "Pieta", and Jacob Elshin's "St Peter and St. Paul" which is a modifi cation of the Byzantine school By LAW COLLEGE WRITERS "In the surintf a young mans fancy lightly turns to sending a girl to jail for ninety days." lnis revision of the ancient maxim concerning love has become neces sary in the light of the shocking and henious crimes being com mitted on this campus. In a recent Daily Nebraskan article, the Rev. Rex H. Knowles brought to light the heretofore unheard of number of so-called "pinning" in which the parties do not consider themselves af fianced. When the demure young miss receives "his" pin, she feels that she is next to heaven. She is, in fact, much closer to the county jail. This sordid fact is due to the unromantic tendency of the 1905 Nebraska legislature (history shows that it consisted of bach elors) which passed the following statute: Whoever willfully wears or uses the badge, insignia, jewel or badge of recognition of any society, lodge, guild or associa tion, fraternal or otherwise, who is not a member in good stand ing... .shall be fined In any sum not to exceed fifty dollars, or be Imprisoned in the county jail for a term not to exceed ninety days; Provided, nothing con tained in this section shall be construed to prohibit the mother, wife, sister, daughter or affianced wife of a member in good standing from wearing a - badge, insignia, jewel or badge of recognition of the lodge. . Nebr. Rev Stat 28-1220 (Re issue 1948). The purpose of this article Is educational. The authors do not uesire to effect a mass unpinning, the wearing of raincoats or sweat ers in the summer months, or any other devious methods used to conceal that which in fact was never intended to be concealed, KNUS On The Air S70 ON YOUR DIAL 3:00 "Music from Every- where 3:15 "Authors of the Ages." 3:45 "Nocturne." 4:00 "Musical Grab Bag."

Then one may study Rico Lebrun's "Woman of Cru cifixion," a large, powerfully executed panel standing at the end of the second-floor corri dor in the galleries. Well-known realists such as George Innes, George Bellows, Thomas Cole, and Eastman John son are represented. Their pro ficiencies have been at least equalled by such moderns as Paul Cadmus and Walter Murch. Two of Cadmus's "The Seven Deadly sins" "Avarice ' ana siotn,"- illustrate how realism may be used in a more meaningful way. On the other side, there are ex hibited works by the German ex pressionists, Ernst Kirchner and Max Beckman. Abstract works ex ten from Kenneth Evett's "Cem ment Truck" to Adolph Gottleib's "Figurations of Clangor" a pic torial representation of sound. Also exhibited are two works of Jackson Pollack, the controversial "dribble artist" who is returning to more recognizable forms. In the field of sculpture, the show boasts Rhys Caparin's "Ani mal Form," second award win ner of the Metropolitan Museum's sculpture show. "Man in the Open," in bronze, is the work of Elie Nadelman, who anticipated Picasso's cubism by three years. Hanging from the ceiling in Gallery B is Alexander Calder's "Vertical out of Horizontal". Calder is the originator of mov ing three dimensional forms which he calls "mobiles.' In all, the show is designed to fit anyone's tastes. It will be open through March 31.
