HOT EXHIBIT IS BARE ETCHINGS Many Interesting Copies Make Up Collection JAPANESE PIECES SHOWN Former Instructor’s Work Well Presented Vast multitudes in an arena, pil lars of vast proportions, tights of steps leading up to darkened door ways—all the pomp and splendor of Borne at her height—such scenes are portrayed, in the etchings of William Walcot, reproductions of which are now on exhibition in the gallery of the Arts building. Brangwyn in Exhibit Notable in the exhibit are the reproductions of etchings and drawings by Frank Brangwyn. These line! the west wail of the gal lery. These works by the greatest English mural decorator of the century, give one a sense of the man’s comprehension of typos, his skill in putting power into char acter study. Eleven Japanese prints on the south wall add interest to the col lection of the recent purchases of the school of architecture and al lied arts. Several Subjects Given An example of drypoint engraving by Boi Partridge, with the Cali fornia hills and a single tree as subject; etchings by Louis Bosen burg, former instructor in the school of architecture and allied arts, but now in New York city; “The Galleon,” wood cut by Wil liam II.

WILSON WARNS AGAINST IGNORANCE OF CAMPUS Change in Education System Believed Necessary “Don’t allow yourself to be cheated by the prevailing ignor ance of the average college cam pus. Bo alert, awake, and quick to your own mind and conscience. Realize the fact that the average state of mind of the. college man or woman, though it be the high water mark of the world’s civiliza tion, is a low conception of human life.” Such were some of the statements and facts that J. Stitt Wil^oq gave to his audience to ponder and think over in his ad dress last evening. Reverting to some of the mathe matical and scientific terms and similes used in his previous address, the former Berkeley mayor de clared, “ I speak in mathematical, mechanical, and natural scientific terms, which are eating as acid into your consciences, to suggest that you are sleeping on your selves.” “What are grades of 1's, A's, and honors worth if the student has has not a passionate love of truth?” the speaker, asked, our education system as will en able the factors of education to “We have to have a revolution in coordinate and lead to the culture, enrichment, an t development of the entire man,” he declared. Mr. Wilson more than once gave the statement that students be not asleep to the prevailing ignorance, but wake up to the truth and real ities. To illustrate li is idea, he compared such an attitude of mind to a man who had come into the possession of a large estate with a palace ca it, and constituting an immense wealth. But the owner of the great es tate found a small cabin in the ^CLASSIFIED ADS tit: 9 tiirw, 60: } rrrl*, f) Mwt i iyv limited to 6 lines . over this limit 6c per line.

GRAD UflTE ASSISTANT COMPLETES RIO SET Phipps Accepts Position in New York City Troy Phipps, graduate assistant in the physics department, has re cently completed a home-made radio set. It is known as a “Rec tifying Neutroformer” set. The important thing about the set is the fact that Phipps used a crys tal detector hook-up, and in place of a crystal, used U. V. “199” tubes. That is, a tube was used in place of a crystal in a crystal | hook-up. The set has one step of ! amplication. Phipps is quite a research work i er. He has been a graduate assis tant in the physics department 'during the past 't,wo years. He took bis oral examination recently for a master’s degree and was recommended to the faculty by the committee for this degree. He re ports to work July 1 to the West era Electric company in New York. His plans are to make research work his life work. Phipps’ set is a cross between a rectifying set and a neutrogormer j sot. It is not a regenerative set. j Being a very modest chap, Phipps said to the Emerald reporter, “I .don’t see that there is any news jin iiiy building this set. Scientists are doing things like this all the time.” i SHED TO BE ERECTED OVER FUEL RUNWAY A shed of corrugated iron roofing will be erected over the south side of the runway which carries the hog fuel burned in the University heat ing plant from the cars to the stack, iaccording to II. M. Fisher, superin tendent of the campus buildings and grounds. The shed was necessitated because the wind carries the light jll0K fuel away in drifts, piling it !along the ground and on the sides | of the surrounding buildings, not only making a nuisance, but also mak ing the fire danger greater. An inch and a half pipeline and two hydrants arc being installed in the yard around the University de j pot to further lessen fire danger. — UNIVERSITY AD CLUB ELECTS M. W. MANLEY Al. \V. Manley, account executive j for Botsford Constantine advertis ing agency, was yesterday elected to honorary membership in the University Ad club, which is to be installed nf a chapter of Abrha I'elta Sigma, national advertising fraternity. Mr. Manley gave a detailed account of how big agen cies handle advertising campaigns before the advertising class at 1 o’clock. Following the talk, sev eral students discussed different phases of advertising with the speaker. I’lans for installation of the local chapter in the national organiza tion were also discussed. This is expected to take place before the end of the term, it is announced.

Best Junior in Department Is Awarded Prize Around a roaring campfire, the members of the Condon club got to gether in their annual and final affair of the season. The aspiring minors of the geology department recalled the humorous incidents of their life around the department, took advantage of the chance to utter witticisms against each other and pledged themselves in gallant toasts to retain the old spirit that binds the rock artists. Dr. E. L. Packard, as toastmaster, stimulated the efforts of the impromptu speakers. The Elks’ picnic grounds at Coburg bridge resembled an inter national athletic meet in the after noon. Track artists performed. Baseball games uncovered new and unusual ability among the women artists. A marshmallow contest re vealed the practice some of the miners had had, probably this tal ent had been encouraged along the shores of Coney Island. A joke contest and the lying contest are hallowed institutions of the miners. —today Subtle Satire! Bouquets and Brickbats!

Among the articles for this month is one which tells of the expose of Major W. Francis Mannix, author of the “Memoirs of Li-Hung Chang.” These memoirs were proven by Ralph D. Paine, noted journalist and war correspondent, to be a clever literary forgery. The only foundation for the writing of these memoirs was the author’s short experience in the Boxer rebellion and a vivid imagination. The au thenticity of the book was not questioned until years after publi cation. An article on “Why Editorials Are Not Read” characterizes many of the present day editorials as “vacuities” and “good English about nothing.” The fault is said to be in that they are not the .per sonal expression of the editor. A discussion of the advisability of “sweetening up a story” is cited, with the famous Cottage Grove hens as the subject of ethical controversy. ELEVEN LEAVE FOR Y. W. WEEKEND PARTY Eleven University women left yesterday for the house-party being given by the University Y. W. C. A. at Triangle lake this weekend.
