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.

EXTENSION COURSE ADDED
Six Hours in Investments Offered; Six
Dollar Fee to be Charged
A new course in investments is being
offered by the Universit}- extension di
vision which will be a duplicate of the
course on the local campus, according
to Dr. Pan E. Clark, of the extension
division.
“The purpose of the new course is
to make possible for the people of the
state to receive instruction in invest
ments though unable to attend the Uni
versity,” Dr. Clark said in explaining
the new course. The investment course
does not make any distinction between
anv particular investments, but ex
plains the various kinds of investments,
the difference between stocks and
bonds, and is a service of information
to the people on how and where to in
vest their money safely.
A fee of six dollars is required for
the new course which is a six hour
credit one and prepared by Professor
Eoults in the school of business admin
istration.

bride was given away by her mother.
Bernice Altstock sang at the beginning
of the ceremony and Mildred Brown
played the wedding march. About 75
guests were present.
After the ceremony a number of Hen
dricks hall girls raided the pantry, se
cured enough rice to stop a Chinese
famine and used it effectively on the
couple as they left the building. Mr
and Mrs. Harper went sonth early in
the afternoon to Medford where they
will spend a few days before continu
ing on their way to Sacramento where
