Sculptor Asks Historical
Subject Arrangement
Talks in Gerlinger
Artist Plans to Bring Art
To People, Prevent
Conglomeration
“A casket containing many
gems” or a museum so inexpen
sive that it could be indulged in
by every state institution—this is
the "Dream Museum” of Lorado
Taft, famous American sculptor,
who spoke to University students
and townspeople in Gerlinger hall
last night.
Taft's museum would have plas
ter casts of all the masterpieces of
the world, cleaned and carefully
lighted, in order to bring out their
true beauty. These would all be
placed in historical order.
"If I only had two casts,” he
added, “they would be placed in
historical sequence. Presently you
would know where things were.”
Talks on Front
The great sculptor spoke of go
ing abroad during the war to
speak to "our boys” about the art
of the world and he learned that
they cared nothing about it, but
that they were more interested at
that time in the art in their home
towns.
Returning from France, he form
ulated the creed: "We are living
in a world of beauty, emerged in
beauty, Emerson says, and yet how
little part this plays in the live of
the average American. In every
town, in every school, there are cer
tain individuals born with an idea
of what they want to do, a talent.
These talents spring up only to
wither away for a lack of sympa
they on the part of other people.
My museum of plaster casts is a
scheme by which we can reach
the people with the arts.”
Describes Plan
The “talking artist,” as he char
acterized himself, spoke of the
recognized malady of “museum fa
tigue” which comes to people
when they visit the museums of
today. He said this was due to
the confusion and helplessness
which they feel, and his "very
great vision in regard to his mu
seum would do away with this.
Illustrating his talk with beau
tiful stereoptican slides, Taft gave
the audience ideas as to the man
ner in which his museum would
be built and showed some of the
masterpieces it would contain.
Works of Greek masters, of the
Gothic, Classic, and French Ren
naissance period were shown. Taft
emphasized the fact that careful
lighting plays a most important
part in bringing out the beauty of
a sculptural piece.

Hindu Art Exhibit Opens
AtY.W. Today; Tea Served
Ey HENRIETTE HORAK
J^OR centuries, ever since the
wandering pilgrims and trade
crusaders of early Europe beheld
the mystic Orient, with its wealth
of a strange culture unknown to
Europe, tales of many strange
things have been told and written.
Tales of customs, habits, music,
literature—and art.
An intimate glimpse into the art
of India—the land of bright blar
ing colors, burning reds, royal pur
ples, glimmering golds—the land
of ivory, gold, brass,—the land of
sack-cloth and ashes, will be af
forded students of the University
and townspeople by the display of
Indian art to be exhibited in the
campus Y.W.C.A. bungalow today,
Wednesday, and Thursday after
noons from 2 to 8 o'clock, under
the direction of Mohan V. Raj,
Hindu soldier, adventurer, and now
student of journalism at the Uni
versity of Oregon.
At the opening of the exhibit
this afternoon Mr. Raj will demon
strate the are of Indian block
printing, and also tell stories of
Indian life, and Indian art. Real
India tea will be served each af
ternoon of the exhibit.
Included in the display will be
enameled brassware, Indian art
textiles, tied and dyed scarfs, and
samples of Gandhi cloth. Also, wall
hangings, bed spreads, table run
ners and pillow coverings made of
Gandhi cloth, so-called because it
is a product of the cottage indus
try advocated by Mahatma Gand
hi. Gandhi cloth is hand spun and
hand woven linen with the “Tree
of Life" design which has a relig
ious significance for Hindus.
Countless hours of laborious
work were spent by the Hindu art
ists in carving the brass into beau
tiful peacock designs, filling the
grooves with enamel and baking
the enamel in by means of a now
long extinct process.
The tied and dyed scarfs are
made by Hindu women who tie

Day Game as Result of
Student Support
Every member of Sigma Nu fra
ternity attended the rally dance
given Saturday afternoon at McAr
thur court during the Southern
California game and won the Zell
Brothers cup for “the interest of
Oregon spirit.” This is the first
time this cup has been awrarded
and it will be presented every
year to the organization that shows
the most cooperation in promoting
spirit.
All members of the rally com
mittee will be enabled to go to
San Francisco for the Oregon-St.
Mary’s game on Thanksgiving day,
due to the support of the students
at the rally dances and the Oregon
State rally held at the Broadway

cuss general plans and to prepare
a budget for the trip, which will
be made in private cars. They are
planning to leave next Tuesday
and to return the following Sun
day.
According to Jim Emmett and

rally committee, the many alumni
livnig in the bay region have been
Contacted and asked to attend the
game and to sit in the rooting sec

will make the trip.
Parsons to Talk
On Conservation
That aspect of planning dealing
with the conservation of human
values will be discussed by Dr.
Philip A. Parsons, sociology pro
fessor and chairman of the Ore
gon planning commission, in an ad
dress he will give to the Oakridge
chamber of commerce next Thurs
day night.
Dr. Parsons will point out that
the most noted progress has been
made in planning for conservation
and development of natural physi
cal resources because they offer
something tangible. Adequate sur
veys have been made or are under
way to the attainment of the goal
in this field. This technique, he
believes, should also be used in
planning which affects conserva
tion of what he chooses to call
“human values.”
Recognized as one of the out
standing men in the planning field,
Dr. Parsons was recently selected
by Governor-elect Charles H. Mar
tin to serve on a committee which
he appointed to make a study and
research survey preparatory to
launching his 10-year plan for the
development of Oregon.

Taft Comments on Apparent \
Industry of UO Art Students
By GEORGE ROOT
Ct'J'HE modern girl is delightful
but not sculptural!”
Lorado Taft, seventy-four-year
old sculptor and lecturer, who spent
yesterday afternoon the campus
visiting the art school and the Mu
seum of Art, rested at his hotel
just before supper time last night
and, with the same kindly manner
that characterizes all his conver
sations, spoke of the present-day
girls, the apparent industry of the
students in the art school, and
how he had enjoyed seeing the mu
seum and having “that fine lady,”
Mrs. Perkins, tell him of the dif
ferent things, as, he explained, “I
do not know very much about ori
ental art.”
“Students are lazy,” said the
sculptor. “The modern style of ar
chitecture gives them a chance to
show their laziness. If they draw
a baked-potato and call it a
‘head’ -why, it’s a head!”
“Rodin was a very great sculp
tor and his influence was for the
good, but he went to the extreme
and turned out, at the last, a lot
of work inferior to his usual excel
lence and it was accepted because
it had his name on it. Some of the
modern sculpturing,” Taft added,
“is inferior and will soon be dis
carded. Epstein is one of my pet
afflictions!”
"People often ask me what of
my work I think best and I say,
‘you mean—what of my work do
I think is the least bad!' I always
said that the artist should be ex
ceedingly humble as he is the only
one who really knows if he has
achieved what he set out to
achieve, if he has made his ideal
a reality. My ‘Black Hawk,’ you
know the big sculptured Indian
head, I probably’ like the best be
cause it is so simple—I tried to
achieve less, and more nearly ap
proached what I wanted.”
Mr. Taft spoke of the great beau
ty of the Skidmore fountain in
Portland and, while he didn't se
riously object to the present loca
tion of it, believed that art was
made to be seen, and as the people
here were not accustomed, like
the French, to make trips to ob
scure places to see their fine old
things, it might help to move it
somewhere more accessible, and
Mr. Taft was most enthusiastic
about the suggestion by Anna
Crocker, curator of the Portland
Art Museum, of having the foun
tain placed in the proposed inner
courtyard of the Museum build
ing.
“I enjoyed my stay on your cam
pus,” Taft said in parting. “In
fact I am enjoying very much this
present lecture tour.” And his
plans include a lecture in Portland
and lectures in the south through
to Los Angeles before returning to
his home in Chicago.

L%*ators Meet
In Discussion
Of Peace Pact
Chancellor Scluischnigg
Invites Neighboring
Stales to Join
Slander Denounced
Foreign Misinterpretation
Of Austrian Policy
Is Alleged
HOME, Nov. 19— (AP)— Chan
cellor Kurt Schuschnigg of Aust
ria, who conferred again this
afternoon with Premier Mussolini,
publicly delivered a vigorous de
nunciation of foreign circles which
slander Austria's situation and her
aims.
At the same time, however, he
invited Austria’s neighbors, in
cluding Germany, to join an Italo
Austro-Hungarian pact for the
sake of economic and political
peace in central Europe.
Facts Juggled
In both cases he was speaking
directly of Germany and the little
entente.
“Some circles,” he said in an in
terview' with the associated press,
"arrive at an evaluation of our pol
icy which does not correspond to
the facts.
Intention Suspicion!1;!
“This evaluation places our in
tentions under suspicion. It arouses
opposition tow'ard Austria. This
criticism --anything but objective
—descends even to the grossest
calumny. In this phenomenon I
cannot discover anything but a de
plorable lack of understanding of
what economic collaboration
means.”
The Chancellor said the proto
cols of the League of Nations “re
veal in the best way possible that
Austria already collaborates in the
economic and cultural field with
all the states which feel the same
need for reciprocal integration in
intellectual and material matters.
Invites Nations
“Behind those, our good disposi
tions to participate in common ef
forts and to reanimate economic
and cultural relations with other
states, no political aims are hid
den.”
Previously, the Chancellor dis
closed he had issued an invitation
to Germany, Yugoslavia, Czecho
slovakia, and Rumania to join the
Italo-Austro-Hungarian pact. He
said Italy was not interfering in
the internal affairs of Austria and
“has never interpreted her rela
tions with Austria in the sense of
a protectorate.”

Because of an error it w'as an
nounced Saturday that Irvin Hill
was president of Alpha Kappa Psi,

orary. Clark Irwin is the real presi

Guild Theater Play Crook
Lacks Success in Calling
tiTCORK over your purse? Aw—
well, I—yah. Here ’tis. But
there wasn’t any harm ir> trying
to take it, now was there?” came
the ingratiating while of Cootes
(Bill Schloth), sneaking crook in
the play “Leave it to Psmith,”
which is to be produced this Fri
day and Saturday evenings in the
Guild theater.
With a furtive air he looked |
around, then whimpered: “You’re
not going to call the bulls, are
you? No? Gee, that’s swell. But
then you looked like a kind-heart
ed person from the very first. You
know, England is kind of funny.
I’ve never been to the place before,
but it sure doesn’t compare with
dear old Chicago.”
Cootes then straightened his
flashily-colored tie with care and
pushed his derby to one side of
his head before resuming the con
versation. "This place hasn’t such
a hot layout for a guy to get a
good living,” he continued, “but
then I’m just here on a vacation— !
sort of a forced vacation, to be
exact. Hey, what are you so in
terested in me for? You’re not a
detective or something are you?”
Upon being assured to the con
trary, Cootes dropped his suspi
cious manner and became very af
fable. “Gee, for a minute you had
me worried. Say maybe you could
help me. I've got the slickest idea
how to pick some easy money.
What is it ? Well, there’s some
honest to gosh ice—you know, dia
monds—out at a dump called
Blandings Castle, so I kind of
thought I’d ankle out there and
look around. How’d you like to
help me? We could split fifty
fifty? No? Well, that’s perfectly
O.K. by me.”
As he was turning to go, Cootes
seemed to be inspired by a brilliant
idea all of a sudden. "You don't
happen to have an extra ten spot
that you don’t want, do you?” he
inquired. “No?” That’s all right,
but there was no harm in asking,
was there now?”
