SEATTLE PAPERS* SCUFF ART EXHIBIT Collection to be Displayed Next Month in Eugene The exhibit of 92 paintings done by Professor A. H. Schroff of the I niver sity has brought forth mueh favorable comment from critics in Seattle where the paintings are on exhibit at the Seattle Pine Arts society. A clipping from a recent edition of a Seattle pa per contains the following comments on Mr. Schroff's exhibit: “The one-man exhibition of paintings by Alfred H Schroff. professor of fine arts at the University of Oregon is a delightful surprise to the members and their friends of the Seattle Fine arts so ciety. They had previously seen a few fine examples of Professor Schroff’s painting, and knew that his work was in the prize winning rank, but they did not expect to see such a generous number of salon pictures executed with in the past two years. The walls of the Fine Arts rooms are covered with the Schroff canvasses the majority of which are of large size, and are all uniformly encased in Whistler and plain gold frames. It is a showing of which an artist may well be proud, and an exhibit, besides, that is winning genu ine words of praise from the art pub lic. Praiseworthy as is this exhibition it has one glaring omission; that is the artist himself is not present. We would like to meet this diligent worker who has evidently devoted all the sun shine of his vacations to painting the charms of Oregon and California land scapes. We know we would have much in common and he would quickly be come an appreciated friend among us, for as one may judge an author by his books we can know an artist through his work—especially when he speaks ^s sincerely and sympathetically as does Professor Schroff of our own Pacific coast and woods. Beauty of line is one of the dis tinguishing points in his paintings. Professor Schroff repeatedly employs the sweeping, melting curved line, that leads and holds attention within the canvas. When we note how Professor Schroff enjoys creating a rytlim of curving lines that rests and pleases the eve, we need not remark that his pic tures excel in composition- His skill in design has been developed in the years he has given to stained glass window decoration. He has a nice understanding of the values, and while he paints freely and evidently rapidly, his work as a whole is well finished. It is indeed a most praiseworthy exhibit of one man’s work over a very short period.” This group of paintings will be on exhibit in Eugene during February at the Chamber of Commerce rooms so that friends of Mr. Schroff and all those interested in painting may have a chanc'b to see the exhibit which has been so favorably received in other places. It is of especial interest to students working under Professor Schroff. The exhibit at the Chamber of Commerce will be in charge of W. K. Newell, the date of opening to be announced later. JUNIOR WEEK-END (Continued from page one) the program, but there is no doubt in my mind but that there are many im provements and corrections which could be introduced.” Norton Winnard, vice-president of the associated students- “I am very much against abolishing Junior Week-end en tirely. However, I favor some radical changes, so as to reduce the amount of expenses and work. I do not believe that the canoe fete should be eliminated. It is the biggest thing of the entire week end. The expense could be cut down, and the number of floats greatly re duced by a combination of houses, one men's and one women's house going in together. The week-end should not be gin until Friday. The senior play should either be moved to another date, or the price be reduced, and complimentary tickets given to Junior Week-end guests. ’ ’ Bernice Altstock, member of the stu dent council: “It is distinctive of Ore gon. However, the expenses should be greatly reduced. The canoe fete is too important an event to be done away with. I would like to see it limited to canoes only, as this would lessen the expense greatly.” • . • Arthur Campbell, student council mem ber: ‘‘I would like to see Junior Week end continued, but I am opposed to the practice of bring prep-schoolers down for the event. We spend all of our time entertaining them, and most of them go to another school anyway. I would like to see Junior Week-end made an all-University day, doing away with the canoe fete entirely, because Oregon has outgrown it, but leaving the campus elean-up day, the Junior prom, the ath letic events, the freshmen events, etc.” Imogene Letcher, member of the stu dent council; ‘*1 would like to see the practice of inviting guests down from the high schools done away with, and the Junior Week-end made an event for the students themselves to enjoy. How- ^ ever. I believe that all the events should remain the same as before, including the canoe fete. The latter is a beautiful event, and. it would be a shame to do away with it.’’ Maurice Eben. student council man: “I favor the elimination of the expense, work and worry attached to Junior Weekend, and the substitution of a University day at which time the stu dents can have a real, informal get to gether week-end. I don't believe it is necessary to have any guests at that time. ’ ’ * * * Shall the entire Junior Week-end fes tivities be put into the discard, shall that distinctive Oregon event be con tinued as in previous years, or shall a new Junior Week-end of shorter du ration and fewer events be substituted? Many students are lined up on all three sides of the issue, but the majority of expressed opinions follow the last named solution of the problem. There is also a variety of opinion concerning the question of Junior Week-end guests. Many contend that the trouble of bringing the prep-schoolers down for the annual spring festivities, and the sacrificing of personal pleasures on the part of the students in order to show the visitors a good time, are not re warded by results which would warrant their continuance. Others believe that the Junior Week-end entertainment is the best possible means of advertising Oregon to prospective students * » * Several investigating bodies are at work on the question of arriving at a summary of student opinion, and of finding wTavs and means of putting on a Juior Week-end this year which will be in keeping with the wishes of the students at large. These include a committee from the Junior class and one from the interfraternity council. The Junior class, at a meeting held last week, decided to take no definite action for this year’s festive week-end. The ’23ers are willing to assume the responsibility and work of putting on the events as they are traditionally staged, provided the concensus of opin ion is that this should be done. • * * Student Council will this evening con sider the Junior Week-end controversy in an attempt to reach some decision in the matter. The following persons are asked to meet with the council members in Penn Straub’s room at 7:30 Thomas Wyatt. Leith Abbott, Ogd’u Johnson, Balph Couch. Katherine Wil son, Pel Oberteuffer, Bernice Altstoek. Carl Newbury, E. E. Sloan, Jessie Todd, and Pick Sunderleaf.
