vey conducted to determine the defacement and destruction of
extent of thievery and vandalism
which has become prevalent on
the campus during the last year.
"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. ,

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.

and not; allowed to form."
Another expressed the opin
ion that "drinking is at the bot
tom of it all." 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. .

QUESTION " .
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

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. .

of painting. 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.
