Cracking the Confines
Of the Old Shell
AN announcement today from
Mrs. Irene T. Gerlingor that
the construction plans for the Prince
L. Campbell memorial building have
actually been completely drawn and
that erection of the first unit of
the building is scheduled for some
time next year tinges the hapless lot
of the University’s fine arts treas
ures with a brighter future.
Much of the exquisite oriental art
collection given the University by
Mrs. Murray Warner might as well
lie shrouded on Altai mountain with
‘the Khans us in the attic rooms of
University buildings where it cannot
be displayed for the delight of art
lovers. But the unfortunate lack
of accommodations will not debar it
from exhibition before its admirers
much longer. In the memorial build
ing it will be provided a royal set
ting befitting its lineage.
When the Murray Warner group
and the several others Hint will com
pose the fine arts museum, are fin
ally arrayed where all may have
easy access to them, how many stu
dents, we wonder, will be able lo
appreciate them according to their
due? llow many will be interested
in them, if at all, merely as curios;
and how many have improved their
opportunity for the cultivation and
maturing of their taste to truly
revel in beauty? Few there’ll be,
we daresay, who will bo able to
meet the challenge of the proposed
museum exhibit.
If our careless guess is right—
if indeed there would not be many
who would partake of the esthetic
feast—students are not receiving
full educational measure or (prob
ably and) they are not profitting
by it. They are studying the drama
of civilizations. But it is not a
narrative which can lie best expres
sed in words, it can better be felt
through other mediums — through
plastic art, paintings, textiles.
The dominance of major courses
has always been a factor in dis
suading the underclassman from sat
isfying any wisp of inclination he
might have in this direction. His
allegiance and interest are early
confined to his major school and the
few orthodox elect ivi\ allowed him.
And the junior and senior conforms
to his underclass habits.
Liberal arts majors are to ho
freed from the tyranny of a school
when the new curriculum reform
gees into effect next year. Depart
mental cohesion will be broken up
so that a much greater proportion
may discover how the fields of
learning dovetail to form a unified
whole. And in the integration it
is to bo hoped that they find art,
not as a social frill but as the es
sence of its time in the life of the
world.
Barriers such as the high fees in
music should not be allowed to pre
i hide the enrollment of general stu
dents in a service course for non
technical explorers in the arts. And
similarly in other schools, the bur
den that must be shouldered by the
majors should rest lightly on the
ca'sual investigator.
An Old Story;
The Same Old Way
SAJ) but true, examinations are
just over the hill. ATii even two
weeks of classes, and then the stu
dents will be called upon to pit
their stores of knowledge against
the questionings of the faculty.
As is usually the case, many have
allowed themselves to drift along
and let work pile up into a mass
which has taken on almost forbid
ding proportions. This is a period
of frenzied effort in which wo try
to make amends fot past delinquen
cies to such an extent as to emtble
to get a grade in each course.
It is not the fact that examina
tions are near that is decried. Were
all other factors in the business of
being educated taken care of’ in a
competent manner, examinations
would in a large measure cease to
be the bug-a-boo they are to the
most of us and would merely signal
ize tho winding up of a definite
period of intellectual effort.
It is the habit of putting off do
ing necessary bits of work which is
at fault. Many have been con
fronted with tho same problem, of
doing most of tho term’s work in
the Inst weeks, every term of their
university career. It is impossible
that we do our best under such
circumstances, nor do we pretend to
believe it to be the case.
Undoubtedly, there are some who
are faced with the situation be
cause they have undertaken too
much. They, like the procrastina
tors, can learn from experience;
and, of the two groups, are the
more likely to do so.
The habit is one wherein the in
dividual works to harm his own
best interests. It means that he
does things by halves. Half-way
measures are not satisfactory means
of carrying one the whole distance
to a far-off goal. The practice of
just "getting by” is working on a
narrow margin of safety. Most of
us have need of all tho margin we
can get, but we’ll never get it with
only half trying. —W. O.

ON DAMMASCH’S DEMOTION '
A reader in Santa Barbara sends
an Emerald clipping, together with 1
the following comment, concerning I
the recent appearance of Louis’
name among “Wayward Freshmen” '
summoned by Oregon Knights:
“I think Louis should bo given !
the medal for this one. When I
was exposed to the, school—I mean
the courses, thank goodness I was
never exposed (ha, ha), I recall
Louis was a junior, but according
to this he has been demoted to a
lowly frosh.
This might be a coincidence, but
take it from me I don’t think so—
Well—he at least deserves credit
for starting all over again. I wish
you would bring this to his atten
tion in the column. I personally
believe the Theta Chi’s should be
enlightened of this “move” through
your column.
Well, if Louis over catches me
lie ’ll wring my neck—-hope he sees
this. I know what lie’ll say. “Is
that bird A1 Clark back in school?”
