Maynard Dixon's Art Radiates
Atmosphere of Great Southwest
Desert's Mystic Lure, Colorful Quaintness of Indians
Portrayed in Pictures
By ALICE KRAFT
Keen observation and under
standing and great familiarity with
the desert of the Southwest and its
inhabitants, the Indians, are showr
in the pictures of Maynard Dixon
now on display in the exhibitior
room in the art building.
Outstanding phases in the devel
opment of his work and talent ar<
evident in various pictures in ths
collection.
In “The Survivors” he has usee
the familiar figures of the buff ale
and the sand dunes to symbolize
the passing West so effectively thai
it carried off first prize in a re
cent display at the Lo® Angeles
Biltmore Salon.
In another picture, nearly as
large as that of “The Survivors,”
the greater part of the picture is
given to cloud formations which
are more decorative than natural,
It is a picture that grows on one,
So perfectly have the clouds been
designed that they seehni to drift
from their places as one gazes at
them. At the very bottom of the
picture is a strip of desert land
scape that, in contrast with the
clouds, is very unimportant yet, as
one looks at it, like the clouds, it
seems to move out and become more
outstanding and vivid. A keenness
of observation of the desert land
scape has made this little trick of
art possible. It is a gift that any
artist would bo proud to possess
and that many long to acquire.
The Indian, and the atmosphere
in which he lives is brought out
with eloquent expression in a
painting of a group of Indians
against a background of an ancient,
weatherbeaten pueblo. In this pic
ture he shows his almlost instinc
tive ability to grasp every detail.
One feels that during his long asso
ciation with the country and the
people he has absorbed the ability
to portray even the minutest de
tails.
in another picture, in which he
shows the side of a cliff bathed in
the sunlight, he has attempted to
produce the effect of the massive
ness of the cliff side by placing a
few trees at the base which appear
at first glance to be nothing other
than the mere introduction of color
in tiny daubs Which might be
shrubbery.
And here is still another picture
in which he tells in deep, dark
tones what the desert is like in
the moonlight. In this he presents
a picture that from a distance seema
to be a mirage, so cleverly has he
executed his arrangement of clouds,
moon and sand.
And yet these are but a few pic
tures that are outstanding in the
collection; in fact, most of them are
so unusual that it is difficult to
pick out the outstanding works, or
those that best express Dixon’s
style.

while the wageis of British miners
are above those of continental min
ers, they are below the American
standard and are none too high for
comfortable living. Second, the
miners’ union is strongly organized
and is in close touch with all the
transport unions so that a national
strike of several million men in
volving all the key industries is
not impossible. Third,' the Dawes’
Separation plan for Germany has
come as a boomerang for England
because 55 per cent of the payments
are being sent to France and Italy
in coal, cutting off British com

being paid in England at present
to the possible development of an
electrical power scheme to relieve

J. Stanley Gray
Tells of Work in
Public Speaking
‘Oregon System’ of Debate
Innovation of This
Professor
New Faculty Man Former
Michigan Resident
Judgin/g from the huge pile of
papers before which Professor J.
Stanley Gray, head of the depart
ment of public speaking sat at his
home, the students of the University
are no busier than the members of
the faculty. Approximately 85 stu
dents who have the privilege of
taking beginning or advanced pub
lic speaking from Mr. Gray had
contributed a high stack of written
work for his perusal.
“I had to leave my office,” said
Mr. Gray, “so as not to be dis
turbed while at work. Besides, my
office would hardly hold all of this
material,” he added, as he put down
another “IV” for some would-be
Webster who had failed to master
the principles of briefing, or to use
the proper communicative activity
in public speaking work.
Gray Excellent Student
Mr. Gray himself, so it would
seem, never had trouble in getting
excellent grades in public speaking
while in the University of Michi
gan. His speaking is his greatest
asset. It is not merely for effect,
but everything he says impresses
the hearer. He is a master of the
new type of conversational speak
ing, which is recognized as superior
under the conditions of modern life,
to the oratorical style formerly
taught.
This year, besides teaching ten
hours a week, Mr. Gray has been
coach of men’s varsity debate and
oratory, as well as coach of fresh
man women’s debate. Due to the
limited assistance, the public speak
ing department is becoming over
crowded, as each year more and
more students are taking courses
in it. And a majority of these stu
dents, having already heard of the
assistance Mr. Gray (gives students
in learning the fundamentals of pub
lic speaking, insist on taking work
under him.
There is something about the
man that attracts. His personal
magnetism increases in one’s esti
mation the longer he speaks. This
is not to say that he speaks a
great deal. But when he does speak,
he makes the hearer realize the val
ue of English. He is man of medi
um height, rather slender, with
dark hair and eyes.
As he sat grading the papers, his
vest off, his cigar half smoked up
he seemed to enjoy the work al

though grading papers is not close
ly connected with public speaking,
his chosen work.
Interested in Education
And yet upon asking him, I found
that the field of education and the
field of public speaking are his
two main interests. He has been
speaking and teaching speaking
ever since his second year in high
school. Until he became assistant
head of the department of public
speaking at the University of Mich
gan after receiving his master’s de
gree, Mr. Gray represented his high
school or college every year, in de
bate or oratory contests or both.
Under his direction, the depart
ment of public speaking at the Un
iversity has already noticeably im
proved. One of the biggest innova
tions made in recent years in inter
collegiate debating was made here1
on March 11, 1926, when the “Ore
gon system” of debate, evolved by
j Mr. Gray himself, was used between
! the University of Utah and the
1 University of Oregon.
| “It involves a period of cross
questioning of opponents by both
! sides,” he explained. “This adds
| to the interest from the audience’s
standpoint, and indications point to
; a rather general adoption of the
method throughout the country.”
| The style ,is somewhat similar to
that used by the Oxford debaters
| while they were in Eugene on an
I American tour in the fall of 1924.
j The Englishmen used a witty, hu
morous style of speaking which
held the attention of the audience
and added to the interest. It was a
distinctive improvement in these re
spects over the ordinary formal type
of forensic contest. Mr. Gray has
written an article explaining the
system for the April issue of the
National Journal of Speech Edu
cation.
The new faculty man with his
family, came to Oregon by auto,
driving from Michigan early last
September. He likes the conditions
in this University and in this state
better than those in the East, where
the possibilities of development are
more limited.
James Leake Elected
Gleemen’s Manager
James Leake has been elected
business manager for the Eugene
Gleemen’s concert, which is to be
held the latter part of May. It is
formed for the purpose of furnish
ing music for conventions and large
city functions. It is under the di
rection of Hugh Winder, the Elks,
the Chamber of Commerce, and the
Rotary are supporting it.

“Fifth Avenue”
It is said that by traveling Fifth Avenue from one end to
the other you will pass the store or the sales representative
of nearly every well-known manufacturer in America.
To a large extent that is a fact—and the same is true of
the columns of this paper. The pages of any first-class
newspaper today compose a veritable Fifth Avenue,
where the goods of the nation are shown. There is a dif
ference. In these pages you are given a description of
the goods and in most cases quoted a price and told where
you can buy them in your own town.
Fifth Avenue has nothing, aside from its scenery and
spell of the great metropolis, that the rest of America does
not share. Advertising carries the good news to us al
most immediately of any new and comfort-bringing com
modity. In fact, new things often start with us and reach
Fifth Avenue later.
Keep up with the times by reading the advertisements.
The better a product is—the sooner you
will see it advertised
