Both non-objective and impres sionistic paintings are being ex hibited in the March show of the Kebraska Art Association, bring ing examples of the art world's most bitter controversy to the Uni versity. University art students com mented that one of the greatest misconceptions about' art was the belief that all modern art was of the variety that looks like spilled paint. Non-objective or Don-realistic paintings, which the con-initiated call dirty pallettes passed off as art, represent an appeal to aesthe tic senses rather than an attempt to express any literary meaning, stodents saidd. Painters of this type of art fall Into many schools of interpreta tion, Pablo Picasso shows many likenesses to the style of Cezanne. There is also a New York school representicg another variety of coo-objective art, they added. Impressionists rely on subject mailer and the use of a figure to convey thought, they continued. for exponents of this type of art use a lot of the swirling motion, bold lines and vivid color of Van Gogh. Art students felt that the prin ciples of modern or contempo rary art are not difficult to un derstand. In literature, worcs be come tools used to convey a f3el ing. Words, they continued, are su perficial. It is the conveyance of an impression or an idea that is important; contemporary art is tms same principle applied to painting. Another misconception is that all contemporary art is done by the pizza-and-beer boys of Green wich Village, art students said. Not all artists are unconventional types who live in caves and by strict Spartacism insure inspira tion, they said. "It is a cultural crime that so few students take advantage of the exhibits of many artists of all periods, not just contemporary art ists, that are available in Morrill Hall," one of the students said. "Perhaps then, if more people understood and appreciated art, we would not be regarded as the "squirre'Jy characters" of the campus," she added with a hint of a smile. I Newman Club Rev.

Open from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m., the Candlelite Room is sponsored by the Union dance committee. Students may spend the evening or stop by after the show. By LUCIGRACE SWITZER Staff Writer The Coatless wonder of the campus is Dick Marrs. He is not crazy, but he is not cold either, he explained. In answer to continual questions by curious students, Marrs finally revealed the reason he goes with out a coat, even in the dead of winter. Its simple: "I don't need one. he said. He admitted that when the temperature reaches 15 below or more be sometimes wears coat. He did wear one a couple of weeks before Christmas, however when the temperature was only about zero. "I did it out of sympathy for the other students whom I met on campus," he said, "but I caught a cold." He explained he had nothing in particular against coats. In fact he admitted he owns a topcoat and a jacket, "just like anvone else Only I don't need them." This curious state of affairs came about when Marrs spent sev eral years in Alaska where he weathered temperatures of 50 de Palladian Variety Show Planned For Saturday The Palladian Society will give a variety show of skits, readmgs and popular and classical music followed by a party with refresh ments and dancing, at 8:30 p.m Saturday in Temporary "J," 15th and Vine St. The party is open to all stu dents, Connie Casper, president said.

With a dfczen other fellows he was a member of the Polar Bear Club which considered swimming in Alaskan mid-winter a pleasant recreation. "After that, the cold here just doesn't affect me any more," Marrs concluded. "It's just a mat ter of conditioning." Marrs expressed hope that his explanation might bring an end to the constant questioning to which he is subject whenever he appears on campus without a coat which is all the time. People not only ask questions such as "Why don't you buy a coat?" but some ac tually question his sanity. If the explanation does not bring such comments to an end, maybe the coming of spring will halt them until next winter, anyway.
