Visitors Show Partisanship
At Western Painting Exhibit
By JANIS WORLEY
Many and varied are the com
ments and opinions heard in the art
gallery in the University art build
ing as to the merit of the paintings
of the 37 western artists shown.
The majority of men students,
not in the art school, who just
pause to look at the beauty of the
paintings, favor “Joan" by Cecil
Clark Davis of Santa Barbara. The
tones of this painting are soft,
restful and pleasing to the eye, and
the beauty of Joan is outstanding.
Next to “Joan” the lovely lady
depicted in “Mood,” by Mabel Al
varez of Los Angeles, creates a
great deal of masculine comment.
There is a great deal more color
and life in this painting, from the
laymen’s viewpoint, which may be
one reason for the popularity of
the picture.
In the landscapes, the masculine
choices are again divided between
“Seaside Cottages” by William
Wandt of Los Angeles, and “Sum
mer Design” by Charles Reiffel of
San Diego. “Summer Design" Is a
bold splash of greens and blues, in
teresting and lovely because of the
varied tones of both the colors.
While “Seaside Cottages” is of
more subtle, less bold coloring, it is
none the less impressive and is
perhaps more realistic and pleas
ing to the average person.
For sensitive coloring in subtle,
pastel shades, "Figures on the
Beach” by Douglass Parshall of
Santa Barbara, appears practical
ly uncontested from the feminine
non-art viewpoint. It is a restful
painting of a man and girl on the
beach with power and life depicted
in an almost colorless fashion.
“Dr. Bhogat Singh” by J. Laurie
Wallace of Omaha creates a great
deal of comment and interest. It
is one of the most life-like paint
ings in the exhibit. Dr. Singh looks
as if he might speak from the
depths of his dark coat and magen
ta turban, if he so desired.
"Dark Madonna” by Margot K.
Roole of San Diego is the favorite
of the aft museum janitor. This is

Historic Telescope Focused
On Moon, Planet During Lab
By CYNTHIA LILJEQVIST
“We’ll sit on Jupiter for a
vhile.”
“For goodness sake don’t do
:hat,” astonishingly replied a fair
i'oung lady in answer to W. R.
Varner, instructor in physics, who
vas conducting an astronomy lab
n Deady’s front lawn last night
ibout eight-thirty.
He focused the historic telescope
:hat twenty years ago searched
;he heavens from a site on Skin
ter’s butte, from which it wa3
ater stolen. Five years following
:he theft a laborer pulling up the
)ld planks on Orchard street pre
oaratory to paving it, discovered
die telescope where it had lain
since the culprit in fear had buried
t. It has been used in Deady by
astronomy students ever since.
Twenty-five or thirty students
from the astronomy survey class
A'ere gathered around the four
nch refracting telescope while Mr.
Varner focused it on the quarter
■noon.
Under close scrutiny this heav
enly body looked considerably dif
ferent from the subjects of poetry
and moon-struck youth. Pulled
nearer by the 30 power telescope,
the silver crescent revealed two
large yawning craters seared by
the intense heat of the sun. It
was strange to believe that on the
dark three quarters of the moon
the temperature had dropped to
268 degrees below zero Centigrade,
while the visible side was far above
boiling.
The jet black shadows cast by
the sun against the sides of the
vast craters proved conclusively
there was no atmosphere on the
moon. Had there been the air
particles would have refracted
light into the craters, leaving the
shadows a lighter hue.
On turning the telescope to Jupi
ter, the bright planet hanging in
the eastern sky, the observer found
the moons of Jupiter.
Turning the telescope to Jupi

(dark Named as Head of 1935 Oregana;
Phipps to Be Business Chief
Of University Annual
The selection of Douglas Polivka, junior in journalism, for the
editorship of the Emerald during 1934-35 by the publications commit
tee was approved by the executive council of ihe A.S.U.O. yesterday.

Work on Revision
Of Constitution to
Be Finished Late
Reform Proposals to Be Turned
Over to Incoming; Student
Body Administration
Work of revising the A.S.U.O.
constitution, carried on by a spe
cial student committee headed by
Glen Hieber, Will not be completed
this term, declared Tom Tongue,
student body president.
The labor of completing the new
document is virtually completed,
but the constitution will not be
presented for ratification at the
elections on April 26, Tongue said,
because of the investigation and
reorganization of the student ac
tivity program under auspices of
the state board of higher educa
tion. The program of reorganiza
tion adopted by the board may re
sult in significant changes in stu
dent affairs, rendering a new con
stitution useless.
Tongue declared he was disap
pointed that the revision of the
constitution, which he had adopted
as one of the major programs for
his administration, would neces
sarily be delayed. He said, how
ever, that the proposals for reform
of the constitution would be turned
over to the incoming student ad
ministration, in order that the
work may be carried on next year.
Speech Classes
Give Short Talks
Proper environment and as near
as possible actual conditions were
furnished after-dinner speech stu
dents last night.
W. A. Dahlberg, assistant speech
professor, had his class recite for
him after a dinner at the Anchor
age. Nora Hitchman acted as
toastmaster. Students of John
Casteel’s class did their rehears
ing at Seymour’s Cafe. Frank
Nash and Bill McCall were toast
masters.
Each student was allowed to
give a short after-dinner talk be
fore the assembled classes which
averaged about sixteen members.
Other divisions of the speech edu
cation department will conduct
similar recitals.
♦ previously been night editor, day
editor, and reporter on the daily
and section editor for the Oregana.
Before coming to the University,
he was employed by the Portland
News-Telegram.
Clark Active on Oregana
Clark, copy editor and associate
editor of the 1934 Oregana, and
author of Innocent Bystander for
the Emerald, served as section edi
tor on the 1933 yearbook.
Phipps is sports editor of the
Emerald and assistant business
manager of the Oregana. He was
day editor of the Emerald at the
beginning of this year. Thuem
mel, present business manager of
the daily, has been assistant ad
vertising manager and advertising
solicitor.
Ruling on Band Made
Band and orchestra members
will not be required to belong to
the A.S.U.O. under a ruling of the
council. Reasons given were that
the United States government con
tributes money for upkeep of uni
forms and part of the other ex
pense of the band; the orchestra
includes a large number of persons
not enrolled in the University; the
A.S.U.O. contributes only a small
sum to the support of the orches
tra; and that to require student
body membership in these organi
zations would seriously cripple
their efficiency. Action on the
question was requested by the
Emerald yesterday morning.
It was announced that President
Boyer will call for plans for re
vision of the student organization.
Persons desiring to submit pro
posals must present them in writ
ing at the president’s office. The
executive council has previously
passed and submitted an official
proposal.
Reports Approved
The council approved the reports
of the finance and athletic com
mittees. Recommendations made
by the athletic committee provided
for the appointment of several
managers for swimming, a tennis
manager, and for the awarding of
five major and eight minor letters
in swimming.
The petition from the Order of
the O requesting the reinstatement
of swimming as a major sport was
denied. However, under the pres
ent policy, swimmers who achieve
national recognition, break impor
tant records or otherwise distin
guish themselves may be awarded
major letters on the recommenda
tion of the coach.
Exhibit of Pictures Explained
)On Basis of Modern Painting
Afternoon sunshine streamed
through the skylight of the little
art gallery on the University cam
pus yesterday, picking out high
lights in the paintings of leading
western artists displayed there.
Murmurs of liking or of disapprov
al rose from the crowd of students
and townspeople gathered in the
room to hear Maude I. Kerns, as
sistant professor of normal arts on
the campus, explain the pictures on
the basis of modern art.
“Modern art is an expression of
aur on time and our own age,”
Miss Kerns said, "and it should be
viewed in that spirit. The artist is
i normal human being, and like
sveryday people, has his types.
\.ccording to modern psycholo
gists, there are two types of peo
ple the extroverts and the intro
verts. These two types of artists
ire to be recognized from the char
icter of their paintings.”
The extrovert artist sees the
self-evident, the outward in nature,
ind seeks to reproduce that on his
:anvas, Miss Kerns continued. As
in example of this type of work,
she picked out "Restless Sea,” by
Charles A. Fries, an objective ren
lering of nature. The artist has
here caught the movement of the
waves, the color of the sea.
In “Seaside Cottages,” by Wil
liam Wandt, famous for his paint
ings of California scenes, is caught
the objective truth of the scene,
combined with an inner love for
nature by the artist. The mauve
coloring of seaside villages hangs
over this picture, accentuated by
a lovely haze and luminosity of
sky, the lecturer pointed out.
As an example of a painting
done by an introvert, Miss Kerns
chose “Nebraska Landscape,” by
William L. Younkin, a painting
filled with the luminosity of a sun
set sky, a quiet peaceful relation
ship of foreground being attained
by the artist. The work is replete
with color, peace, and quiet.
Tracing the development of mod
ern art, Miss Kerns called atten
tion to the fact that at the begin
ning of the 19th century, art was
in the static state. In the period
following, the impression of ob
jects under the light was sought.
Artists following this style were
called “impressionists,” and, in
seeking their goal, allowed form
and structure to become loose. Into
