Warm Interior of Sheldon Art Galleries
Is Innovation in Museum Appearances
By Karen Costin
In the spring of 1963 the
Sheldon Art Galleries on the
University campus will be
opened to the public.
The Galleries, designed
by Phillip Thomas of New
York, will present a new
idea in art galleries. In
stead of the austere, Greek,
marble museums of the
past, the Galleries will
have a warm, domestic in

Primary Concern
Executive Officer Clifford
By Gretchen Shellberg
and Carol Wilcox
The b r o a d-shouldered
man leaned back in his
leather padded chair, tilted
his head sideways a little
and swiveled to a 45 degree
angle behind his desk. The
move was not authoritarian,
but merely relaxed.
His dark eyes and thick
black hair, graying a bit at
the temples, bore some re
semblance to Tyrone Power
as did his 6 foot, 175 lb.
stature. But his actions did
not bear the force his phy
sique implied. His manner
was slow and soft.
The phone rang.
Swiveling around 180 de
grees to the long narrow
table along the wall behind
his desk, he flipped a switch
and greeted his caller with
warm familiarity. A brief
discussion; "yes, I think
you're right on this but I
don't think we're quite
ready to go ahead;" a pro
file smile showing very
white teeth which normally
hold a smoking pipe; a
deep, unforced "ha-ha"
laugh.
He hung up the receiver.

NU Psychology Professor
To Journey To Denmark
A University of Nebraska
professor of psychology, Dr.
Marshall R. Jones, will re
port to the International Con
gress of Applied Psychology
in Copenhagen on research
which began 10 years ago with
the testing of 500 volunteer
residents of Syracuse, Neb.
In studying the results, of
the Rorschach (personality)
examinations, Dr. Jones and
his colleagues were espe
cially interested to note that
evauation of one phse ot tne
scoring failed to coincide with
clinical observations and the
oretical probabilities.

Galleries
Nine larger galleries will

be located on the second
floor balconies. Six of these
galleries will exhibit the
permanent art collections.
These collections, part of
which were purchased
through the years by the
Board of Regents, and also
those purchased by the Ne
braska Art Association will
be partially displayed and
partially stored for periods
of three months. The paint
ings will then be rotated.
A beautifully furnished
auditorium will be located
on the first floor adjacent
to Sculpture Hall. The
room will be covered with

stitute for leather, of a deep

auditorium will be used for

of responses to Rorschach ex

will clarify some of the the
oretical issues involved in the
use of the examination.
His report on the research,
including use of the new scale
in scoring tests given to a
number of normal and patho
logical groups, was accepted
by the international congress
for presentation on its 1961
program. The congress, Aug
ust 13 to 19, will be attended
by psychologists from all
over the world.
Mrs. Jones and their son,
Scott, 17, will accompany Dr.

be made available to theat
rical shows.
The Galleries will also
have a special room for the
meetings of the Nebraska
Art Association. The room
was one of the stipulations
made in the will left by
Frances Sheldon. Miss Shel
don was one of the original
founders of the Association
and wanted them to have a
permanent home, Geske
said.
The funds for the build
ing w e r e donated by Fran
ces and Bromley Sheldon to
further the cultural beauty
of the campus.
The funds were given with
another stipulation. There
were to be no classrooms in
the Galleries. It could be
used only for art displays.
According to Leonard
Meyers, head of the con
struction and planning, the
work on the building has
been moving on schedule.
Completion
The contract data for
completion of the building
was set at October, 1962.
However, even if the galler
ies are finished then, Geske
said the building will not "be
opened to the public until
April of 1963.
The intervening six
months will be necessary
for moving the paintings
and sculptures from the old
galleries into the Sheldon
Art Gallery. The art objects
in the present galleries will
comfortably fill the new
museum, Geske said.

discuss "Parlons Francais,"
a French language series to
be offered on KUON-TV and

The representatives who at

In a few moments the phone

After a brief discussion,
"Say what do you think
about that fellow I was talk

checked his grades and
think we can recommend
him."
The two phone calls show
