Union Display
Oil Paintings Show
Variety Of Moods
t By ROGER WAIT
Staff Writer
Currently on display in the Un
ion Main Lounge are 19 paintings
by three University art students.
The oil paintings will be on ex
hibit until mid-June.
Jean Sandstedt, president of
Delta Phi Delta, honorary art fra
ternity, painted six of the paint
ings in the lounge. Corban LePell,
junior in Arts and Sciences, also
has six paintings on display. Seven
paintings were done by Bruce Con
ner, junior in art.
The somber paintings of Miss
Sandstedt, senior in art, are charac
terized by the darker shades punc
tuated, sometimes starkly, with
splotches of red. The red, which
she worked into the pattern of the
paintings, in no case conveys care
free feelings. They represent bright
spots in an otherwise drearily mon
otonous life.
Miss Sanstedt's works are intro
spective in nature. Her paintings,
she said, are "non-objective."
The titles of her displayed paint
ers," ''Untitled Painting," "Stellu
lar," . "The Captive," "Flowers"
nnd "0 Roschen Rot!"
"Stellular", won a purple ribbon
at the 1954 State Fair. Miss Sand
stedt last year won first place in
a national Delta Phi Delta show in
Des Moines, la. Her prize-winner
was a graphic woodcut.
LePell's works are entitled "Dan
ae," "Sosi," "Binnorie," "Mt. Ar
arat," "Nakomis, 1954" and "Scy-
thia."
His paintings are done in dark
colors, but are not so solemn and
somber as Miss Sandstedt s. Ra
ther, LePeH's works are some
what cairn.
Frequently, he runs his colors to
gether to produce impressions of
fogs of varying density. These are
SSSU Sf udent Wins Place
Robert Van Voorhis, University
graduate student from Chadron,
has been announced as fourth
place winner of the internationally
famous Thor Johnson Brass Com
position contest.
His entry was, "Mono Rhythmic
Variations,"' which he composed
under the direction of Robert
Beadell, instructor in the music
department and a second-place
winner in the contest in 1950.
Entries in the annual competi
tion sponsored by the Cincinnati
Conservatory of Music included
compositions from American,
British, and French students.
Voorhis, received his bachelor
of arts from the University in
1952, served two years in the
Army, and then returned last fall
to the University for graduate
work.
This month he also received the
Pi Kappa Lambda award for out
standing original compositions.
Judges in the Johnson competi
tion were: Robert Whitney, direc
tor of the Louisville Symphony
orchestra; Anthony. Donato of
Northwestern University's School
of Music; and Robert King of the
Robert King Music Company,
publishers of music for brass.

especially brought out in "Bin
norie," in which he has used
shrouded blues and greens inter
mixed and subdued so as to be a
dark grey.
In general, LePell's works re
mind one of the calm before the
storm and of cynical peacefulness.
This is illustrated by "Mt. Ar
arat," in which LePell used gradu
ated shades of red to describe
simultaneously a bright future and
the still bleak past which will for
ever hinder man's efforts toward
progress.
LePell has won honorable men
tion in an all-Nebraska showing at
the University Art Galeries.
The titles of Bruce Conner's
paintings are "Nirvana," "Un
titled Painting," "Grotto," "Abad
don," "Moorland," Halcyon" and
"Romanesque."
. Of the three artist's works on
exhibition, his are the lightest.
Conner mixes his colors and is
not so consistent in color usage as
the other three.
For example, his "Nirvana"
was done entirely in glaring shades
of yellow, and his "Moorland"
was painted in shades of midnight
brown, - interspersed with reddish
brown. "Moorland" also contains
white and black adjacent to repre
sent parched, stringy grasses.
In other paintings, Conner con
veyed calmness by uncluttered use
of simple geometric figures. "Hal
cyon" represents the halcyon, or
calm, days of an idyllic SDrine.
and "Romanesque" illustrates the
inner peace which overcomes one
inside a medieval cathedral.
Conner iast year exhibited some
of his works at a showing of the
Lincoln Artists' Guild. The Guild
later purchased one of " his color
etchings for Its permanent collection.
