men living in the present dorms
and in the new buildings, Carl-
yon pointed out. Twenty meals

nings. A professional dietitian
will be in charge of meal plan
ning and will supervise prep

single desk and lamp. Each r-xim

evening and at other times when
cafeteria service is not available.
A large television room is be
ing planned which will include
two TV sets, facing opposite di

their choice of programs. In ad
dition, another TV room in one
of the present dorms will be in
operation. I
Two fully-equipped laundry I

Four ping pong rooms
will provide recreational facili
ties for dorm residents. A pool
room and two card rooms will
supply the men with additional
opportunities to relax.
Intra-mural athletics will sup
ply recreation outside the dorms.
In the past dorms have sponsored
basketball and football teams in
addition to encouraging indivi
dual and team participation in
swimming, wrestling, golf, ping
pong and other intramural
sports. The program is expected
to expand with the increase in
the number of dorm residents to
more than 900.
A broad social activities pro

With the advent of 3-D, the Ne
braska State Museum in Morrill
Ball is not to be outdone.
The newest project is the "Hall
ef Nebraska Wildlife." It is lo
cated on the ground floor of the
building, and will eventually oc
cupy a space of 149 by 45 feet.
When completed, the new section
will include 16 three-dimensional,
life-size exhibits. The scenes will
depict the natural wildlife and
picturesque landscapes of the
state.
THREE OF the exhibits have
been completed and are open to
the public Two additional ones
are Bearing completion. The habi
tat groups are exact reproduc
tions of scenes in Nebraska. Tbey
Cepict the animals in their nat
Ural surroundings.
According toCB. Schultz. mu
seum director, the new wildlife
fca.ll mill do much to "correct the
misconception" of those who visu
alize Nebraska as a "Cat, unin
teresting place as far as land
scapes and wildlife are concerned."
The life-like exhibits are boused
In glassed-in cases ranging in
xize from 10 feet long and 6 feet
wide to 20 feet long and 12 feet
Wide.
THE IrtSrLAT method used to
display the exhibits is unusual in
that the cases are being con
structed in a winding corridor or
maze." Thus the visitors' atten
tion will be directed to only one
case at a time. The University
was the first to use this method
in showing habitat croups.
These cases replace the conven
tional method of display which in
corporates long, straight rows of
museum cases. The disadvantage
of such display groupings is that
visitors are encouraged to glance
rapidly at all of the cases, instead
of taking time to view each dis
play individually, and completely.
"
ANOTHER XEW idea which has
been incorporated into the project
is that of the color scheme. The
walls of the corridor are painted
green, and the display cases are
framed in g t a y. The color
scheme, the maze-type arrange
ment of the displays and the
sloping glass fronts of the cases
are contributors to a reduced
amount of reflection in the haU.
The museum reported that rt-

flection is a major problem in the
construction of such exhibits.
The construction of the "HaU
of Nebraska Wildlife" is a large
project and mill take a number
of years to complete. Except for
the first experimental group, all
of the wildlife units are being
fmanr?d by donations made to
the L :.iversity Foundation. The
larger ontributor thus far has
been :i ; Cooper Foundation.
Through the University Founda
tion, the Cooper institution has
provided funds for the lare
pronghorn antelope, and for j
smaller fox and beaver groups.
VARIOUS MUSEUM staff!
members are carrying on the
work of planning and construct
ing the wildlife exhibits. Spec
ialists in fields from botany to
zoology have played an import
ant part as consultants on the
various scientific aspects of the j
exhibits. The displays must not
only be accurate, they must be
. . fau J
such precision is so that the dis-
Tjlavs can be uwd in tparhinp ac
to: - v
I well as for general difplay. The 1
plants and animals are collected I
from a definite limited area and
are in association with each
other.
A beaver group i now under
construction. The scene depicts
falls along the Platte River
south of Grand Island A beaver
dam will be a featured part of
the display. The background for
the beaver groun is beine
painted from a group of photo
graphs taken of related locations
in that area. Miss Iris Daugh
erty, who is painting the beaver
background commented on the
difficulty of painting the scene
in "3-D." The backErtund must
be done on a curved surface
with careful observance of the
many details which can be more
easily observed by the eye in
such a rounded background.
THE FOREGROUND material
for the remaining groups has
been prepared by Nathan Mah
ler, museum staff artist. The
foreground in the bobcat exhibit
was prepared by James CarmeL
Others who have been instru
mental in planning and creating
the displays include: John Da
Sidson, professor of botany; Paul
Gilbert, executive secretary of
the game, foresrtation and parks
commission, George Weidman
and Leon Cunningham, conser
vation officers.
ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS are
used in some of the displays.
Real grass for the other displays
must first be treated to prevent
the natural decay process. After
the blades of grass are treated,
they must be painted to re
match their original color. The
geological formations used there
in must be as they appear in
nature. Each of the dirplays
costs approximately t6J&00
which verifies the high cost of
authenticity.
Students and faculty, as well
as the general public, are invited
to view "Hall of Nebraska Wiid-
i life" which is indeed an addj-
tion to the University.
"WE FELT we owed our stu
dent body and Nebraska audi
ence a look at the American art
tradition." he said. Geske then
went on to point out how
painter, Frank Duveneck, repre-1
seated "a firm and steady adher- j
ence to tradition" and the influ-'
ence of such painters as Rem
brandt and. to a lesser extent,
Titian.
"Duveneck's importance as an
artist is that he established a di
rect, vital contact with European
tradition." Geske concluded. He
also gave some information con
cerning the painter's background.
The painting was selected for
the permanent collection of the
Nebraska Art Association. It was
purchased with funds from the
Woods Charitable Fund and a
gift from Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
C Woods. j
PURCHASED SIMILARLY was
Robert Gwathroey's "Painting of
a Smile." It is a picture with a
lot of force in it, and is not in
tended to be funny, Geske com
mented. Gwathmey was one of
the three painters whose works
were presented in the one-man
shows of the exhibition.
Concerning the painting, Geske
said, "Here we have a painter
who is deeply interested w tell
ing a story. Part of the superb
craftsmanship is his respect for
and interest m the subject"
He said be considered this par
ticular painting a wholly typical
example of Gwathmey "s work.
"The longer you look at this pic
ture the more you realize that it
is in essence a very bitter state
ment," Geske said.
ANOTHER SELECTION from
the one-man shows is "Indian
Blanket" by Karl Knaths. which
was purchased for the Frank M.
HaU collection. Alter giving back
ground information about Knaths,
Geske added some specific com
ments on the painting. Since the
painting is cubistic in style, it
should be viewed in terms of pure
design, he said. "It is not a ster-
zanne, and his works reflect this
mi.uence as wen as uiai 01 Japa
nese painters.
Only one piece of sculpture was
included in the group of pur-
lection.
Two drawings which were the:
gift of Mrsr C F. Ladd were
shown to the group. They are
