;■ '• Art—And Artlessness
QF CONSIDERABLE interest from many points of view was
the lecture by Dr. H. C. Kollar of Vienna in the exhibition
room of the Arts building Wednesday evening. His discussion
of the way in which Professor Cizek encourages children to
produce art forms in the State School of Arts and Crafts in
Vienna had a popular flavor which should leave an impression
on the minds of his hearers.
The joy of self-expression, the happiness in creating—this
was the theme of his talk. In this we meet an old friend in a
new dress. It is a thing that should not need to be told to stu
dents who presumably come to the University from choice.
And yet, strangely enough, the reminder is stimulating.
We may disagree with Professor Kollar in his belief that
beauty has only a subordinate place in art. We may disagree
with the method of “no method” which he praises as the best
way of instructing children. We may ask if there is to be no
correlation with the art traditions of the past. We may ques
tion the possibilities of creating a great and significant art by
accepting his standards. But we are bound to agree with him
that art is not simply for the few. We can but sympathize with
his effort to make art, expression, creation, a part of the life
of the people, an integral portion of the joy of living.
The attitude toward art which one encounters is often a
sense of mystification. The average layman feels that there
must be a certain hokus-pokus to the stuff which makes it im
possible for him' a simple by-stander, to understand it. He
does not see it in its true aspect as a pleasure or work in which
he can participate. #
Until the average person, the average home, can take art for
its own, there can be no cultural background of this sort. It
must be remembered that there have been ages in which every
workman was a true craftsman, and the common man produced
things of beauty. The Gothic cathedrals of the Old World
stand as monuments to one phase of this spirit. The United
States has its examples in a different way. The inheritors of
the western tradition can point to the California missions which
were built under the guidance of a few priests, but actually
done by the Indians.
And everywhere that the crafts, and their big brother, art,
flourish, there is a new color, a new beauty and a new pattern
to life which gives it significance.
“It Is Good”
** JF YOU don't succeed the first time, try try again!” is a
platitude, but none the less valuable and applicable in
certain places despite its doddering gait and gray whiskers.
One of these cases where ancient vintage and overwork has not
prevented correct application has been the University regis
trar's office. From year to year the students have had to
change their method of enrolling in the University until they
had become as puzzled, bewildered and awkward as a freshman
going through his first gyrations to the opposing commands of
‘‘Right fact ’ and ‘‘Left face” in the shadow of Cemetery
Ridge. .
Even in the remembrance of present seniors, registration
red tape has assumed various hues from delicate pink to violent
scarlets, and luckless enrollees would often find themselves
inextricably tangled in its writhing coils. Coming back each
fall and finding it necessary to re-learn the art of becoming of
ficially recognized as an undergraduate member of the institu
tion lost all semblance of novelty.
After watching the process of registration Monday, how
even the Emerald believes that Carlton Spencer, registrar, has
achieved success. It was pleasant indeed to find the afternoon
free for a stroll, or to unpack the vacation trunk, or just to
dally about greeting old friends, after philosophically crossing
the date off the calendar at some previous time as “Lost_Reg
istration Day." Most of the students had completed the for
mality of handing in their information card within one hour
from the time they climbed the Administration building steps,
and the business oft ice lobby appeared singularly deserted bv
afternoon, when compared with other years.
As stated, the Emerald believes Mr. Spencer has succeeded.
It only hopes that Mr. Spencer, also, feels he has succeeded, and.
content in that knowledge with henceforth- ignoring the plati
tude first quoted, “Let well enough alone.”

SMOKING DEFENDED
Editor of the Emerald:
Our attention has been called to
a recent editorial headed “No
Smoking.” It is not our purpose to
disagree with the writer in his ob
ject of making our traditions invio
late, but we do wish to take up
the complaint directed at the
School of Architecture; to suggest
that a friendly inquiry on the part
of the Student Officer would have
led at least to a comprehension of
the situation, if not to commenda
tion of the practice of smoking in
our court yard.
We would not defend any one
who grossly insulted a Student Of
ficial. If someone did, as reported,
he deserves severe opprobrium. Nor
do we wish to seem to encourage
disregard for venerable tradition or
sound precautionary measures. We
do wish to suggest that tradition
is not dogma, but a living, vital
thing. It is subject to the influ
ences of life, of evolution.
The School of Architecture is a
work shop where long hours are
spent without the recreation of
movement from one building to an
other, and as for some unfortun
ates smoking gives relaxation and
recreation, perhaps it will be al
lowed that they should not be de
nied the privilege. As to the place
of its exercise: in former years the
east porch on University street was
used, but in the reconstruction
work the porch covering was re
moved. The Court, designed as a
meeting place, a linking unit be
tween the schools that group
around it, was a natural recourse.
We hope that this will lead to
an understanding that our position
is not one of disregard of, or dis
respect for authority or tradition.
RICHARD P. CARRUTHER8,
President, Architecture Club.
PROGRESS? NEVER!
To the Editor:
When I read your yesterday’s
editorial on the tradition of the
campus smoking prohibition I be
came red hot. My temper was not
aroused at your editorial for, plain
ly enough, you but pointed out that
as we have rules we might as well
live up to them.
What does get me red around the
collar is the tenacious bull-dog hold
a few leading lights have on that
old, worn out custom of prohibit
ing smoking on the campus. The
product of a wishy sentimental age
in our history, when the W. 0. T.
TT. was the most influential or
ganization except for the board of
regents, the old taboo on smoking
on the campus stands as a monu
ment to our backwardness. All
the universities on the coast, with
the possible exception of Stanford,
have progressed with the trend of I
the newer generations and have re
legated the nnti-smoking custom to
the waste basket.
Why can not we recognize that
our historians and sociologists are
correct when they tell us that our
society is not static but a moving,
growing and changing thing. Here
we are. supposedly representatives
of the most liberal thought in the
state and yet ns backward and reti
cent ns a backwoods village—prob
ably more so.
There is no actual record of the I
State Eire Marshall’s supposed ban j
on smoking on the campus, ns mnnv,
would have us believe. At most i
he would object only to smoking in
the wooden buildings that grace
our campus, a common sense rule
possibly. But objecting to smok
ing on the grounds—where’s the
rubt
The cigarette stubs that would
litter the lawns would be but a
small increase in the number of
bits of paper that the force of
campus grounds keepers now have
to pick up every day. Mr. Fisher
himself would not have heart fail
ure at the additional load put on

In face of these few consider

Models of Ancient Weapons
To Be Displayed
Would you like to see what a
real caveman used as a weapon ol
wart Or are you, perchance, in
terested in the bone harpoon and
needles of the same period f In
either case, now is yonr chancel
A set of fossils and models of pre
historic, weapons have been pur
chased by Professor Earl L. Pack
ard, of the geology department,
from a French firm which special
izes in archeological implements
and natural history specimens.
The collection includes, several
different groups that have geolog
ic interest. In it are found typical
specimens of European rocks, fos
sils of different kinds, and a ser
ies of models in plaster of the flint
and stone implements manufac
tured by the prehistoric cave dwel
lers who lived at least 25,000 years
ago.
These implements, which are
scientific and exact reproductions
of the originals, show the wonder
ful workmanship to which the men
of that time had attained, consider
ing that the weapons were made
without aid of metals, one stone
being used to chip another into
shape. Models of bone needles and
harpoons made by the Magdalen
ian man, also showing a highly de
veloped craftsmanship, are includ
ed in the set.

ANNE DEAK:
It seems hard to get down to
studying once more after having
such a glorious vacation. Each
of us girls have so much to tell
about the vacation that none of
us have found much time to do a
I great deal yet.
Teas and tulips 1 They are very
effective together. At Raup’s
Floral Shop, we got some beau
tiful Darwin tulips which are of
a delightful shade of coral. Ar
ranged with maidens hair fern
in vases they made fetching dec
orations for a tea we had yester
day for the alumnae. Every one
remarked how beautiful the
tulips were, for they look like
roses. Eor the dining room, we
had large sweetpeas in the same
shade of coral, combined with
lavendar sweet peas and fern.
They, too, were quite pretty.

She went to Hasting Sisters
where they sell Pacific bob cre
ations which immediately trans
form one’s hair into an attrac
tive coiffure. The Pacific swirl
is especially desirable, because
it is so easy to adjust.
Don’t you think that I am
I real industrious? I am making
a suit of pajamas which I bought
at the Phares’ Baby Shop. It
is of silky voile that comes in
tomato color, which as you know
is so popular this spring. It is
sleeveless and the trimming is
of tan voile. A clever little
pocket and a dash of color here
and there, embroidered in sprays,
make the pajamas especially
clever. It takes very little time,
for there is no lace to sew on.
Our lunches these days are
mighty tempting. Very fre
quently we have delicious baked
ham and large, juicy dill pickles,
accompanied by wonderful sand
wiche buns. These, of course,
were bought at Underwood and
Elliott's Grocery; for at that
store, the ham is received fresh
three times a week. The bakery
goods are always so appetizing
because they are sold the same
day that they are made.
