Ani Sltaw Howl on ^bUfdcuf, Pbailed hy Peuieweb By MAYRE BROWNLEE Even if you’ve never been to an exhibit in the Little Art gallery at the art school, you should plan to see the present one before December 5. It is a one man show of water colors by Miss Ruth E. Halvorson, art supervisor of Portland public schools, and is definitely worth your time. Miss Halvorson is described by her friend, Miss Maude Kerns, of the University art school as a sensitive, vivacious personal ity who paints with rapidity and skill. She took her masters^degree at Columbia university studying with Charles Martin, who has helped her to develop a vigorous way of using water colors. Her work is extremely powerful, possessing a strongh rhythm; she paints directly, with a French brush and a full palette of colors. Miss Halvorson achieves striking effects of dark against light, warm against cool colors. The nature forms are strong, and because of the way she conceives and com poses quickly, one is impressed by the great movement in space, and her intense emotional feeling con cerning nature. The artist is represented by three groups: printings done in Mexico one summer, under Charles Mar tin; a set including two pure ab stractions, and a few semi-abstrac tions, showing interesting use of volumes and planes in space, paint ed in Provincetown, Mass. The third group was painted mainly in Eastern Oregon and includes beau tiful studies of trees, mountain peaks, and river gorges. New Members of WAA Will Soon Be Initiated Old members should go with new members to the WAA initia tion Friday, November 24, at 7:30 p.m., according to Wanda Lue Payne and Dagmar Shanks, co chairmen of the meeting.

This Kitten Almbst Went to College Patricia Highberger, Westmin ster college freshman, can now claim the title of “the girl who let the cat out of the bag.” Unpacking her suitcase after re turning from a trip to her home in Youngwood, Pa., Miss High berger was very much surprised to see her six-weeks-old Angora kitten, "Cinders,” emerge from the bag which had been packed more than five hours before.

This display includes several views of the Taj Mahal, one of w hich, done in pastel colors, was given to Mrs. Gertrude Warner, director of the museum, by Mr. Bartlett. Born in Bridgeport, England, the artist studied on the Continent. He went to India in 1913 and later to Java, China, and Japan. He died in 1940 in Honolulu. Mr. Bartlett learned the tech nique of colored wood-block print ing in Japan. He was one of the first western artists to adopt the Japanese methods in this art. Merriam Plans Month Sojourn In California Dr. J. C. Merriam, consultant on the values of science, plans to leave the campus Monday to spend a month or two in his office at the California Institute of Tech nology. There Dr. Merriam has files of papers and reports gath ered during 45 years of research on the geology and history of the John Day country in Oregon and of other parts of the Pacific coast. Several professors in the insti tute are his students, and he has worked with them for several years. To his authorship of several hun dred books Dr. Merriam hopes to add a book developing the idea of evolution which comes as a result of wars, and drawing on material gathered in the John Day country. Among his best-known books are "The Living Past,” which is used in several courses on the campus, and “Protection and Use of Prim itive Nature.” As a young student Dr. Merriam became interested in the Pacific coast in 1899, when Professor Con ) don told him about his experiences in the John Day country. He was i on the faculty of the University for 127 years, and in 1920 went to ; Washington, D.C., as president of | Carnegie institute. Since leaving the east five years ago he has di | vided his time .between Qregoii and California. I YWCA Schedules Last Meeting for Tuesday An important meeting of all !

ISA Plans Turk Fete What would you do with a tur key—a grey, gobbling, personality plus turkey—if it so happened that you became the owner of one ? The prosaic thing to do would be to serve the poor bird, roasted and stuffed, for Thanksgiving din ner. But looking at that idea from the turkey’s angle, it’s a darned bad deal. After all, who would want to spend Thanksgiving day being voraciously eaten by hungry college coeds? Quote McGillicuddy, the turkey in question, “Humanity is slipping if it shows no more consideration for the fate of a poor downtrodden turkey.” If you feel you could plan a good future for McGillicuddy, or if you’d just like to meet him —come to the ISA mixer Wednesday night in Gerlinger, where he will make a personal appearance and, inci dentally, receive a new owner. Living organizations have been sent invitations to attend the dance with an eye to the possibility of gaining- "Mac” for their own.
