Art on Display
Water Color Works
Compose Collection
By BETTY STONE
Forty-six water color paintings
are now on display at the Univer
sity’s Little Art Gallery in the art
building. The exhibit will be open
to the public daily from 2 to 5 p.m.
until February 7.
Originally assembled by the San
Francisco Museum of Art for its
eleventh annual exhibition, the
paintings came to the University
directly from Seattle’s Henry gal
lery at the University of Washing
ton.
Keynote Variety
The keynote of the showing is
variety, in both subject matter and
approach.
The approach varies from the
conservative realism of Morris Lo
gan’s “Late Season” to the ab
stractionism of Dorr Bothwell’s
“Blue Bone,” and from the tight
detailed rendering of John L. How
ard’s “Tidelands” to the free vague
rendering of Bob Winston’s “T. I.”
Striking Contrast
Water color mediums extend
from the pure water color of Wedo
Georgette’s “Summer’s Day” to the
unique combination of gesso-war in
Knud Merrild’s "Sentient Reality.”
Another striking contrast is that
between Victor de Wilde’s dull,
dark “Wagon Wheel” and Virginia
Roberts’ colorful, bright “Naked
Eye.”
Dean Little Interested
Dean S. W. Little of the school ot
architecture and allied arts took a
special interest in the exhibition
since water color is one of his fa
forvite mediums. “The layman,” he
remarked, “is impressed by the
freshness of the color, but left short
of the fullest appreciation because
he does not realize the difficulties
that come with the handling of this
medium. *
In order to exploit the full poten
tialities of water color, Dean Little
explained, the painter must attain
complete mastery of his medium

Morse Slates Talk
Before Law School
Wayne L. Morse, Oregon’s sena
tor, will return to the Oregon cam
pus to address members of the Ore
gon law school on “Politics in The
ory and Practice.” The discussion
will take place Saturday at 10 a.m.
at the law school as announced by
Dean Orlando John Hollis.
This meeting will mark the first
since his resignation as dean of the
^.school three years ago. Senator
Morse left the campus in 1944 af
ter teaching here for 14 years, to
run for the U. S. senate.
His address will be restricted to
members of the law school.
isianas, reacmng every available
UO alumnus to help hit the top.
Ernest Haycox, president of the
Oregon Alumni association, is in
Hawaii at the present time fur
thering plans for the drive there.
Campaign Widespread
Johnson asks that each Oregon
student advertise the need for the
building and intense interest on
the campus, since the campaign
will be carried out and advertised
over the state, the United States,
and Hawaii.
“Although there is great value
in furthering education and in
ternational relations, charity
starts at home and at the present
time the student body has a
project on its hands—the Student
Union. It will benefit the student
body directly and have a close
bearing on the future of our Uni
versity,"Johnson said. “The build
ing is strictly for the student
body and will not be used by the
faculty; therefore, it is your
building—the living loom of the
campus.”
Contributions Accepted
Contributions will be accepted
I by the Student Union at the busi
ness office in Johnson hall at any
time. Students do not have to
wait until February 15, when the
drive is officially underway, to
donate, but may do so at any
convenient time, Johnson said.
More complete plans for the
campaign will be released at a
later date in the Emerald.
Carnival Capers
Bet the vet will be glad he knows
how to shoot
When he joins in the headlong race,
And giving his old inhibitions the
boot . . .
Throws a pie in a coed’s face.

DON McNEIL . . .
Don McNeil
Acts as 'Hyde'
In New Play
. . that is what the poets are
for. To tell you of all the beautiful
things that are happening every
day, and that no one sees until they
tell them.”
And this is Mr. Hyde, an old-fash
icned English actor who boards with
the Hanson family on San Francis
co’s Steiner street in the next Uni
versity theater production, “I Re
member Mama,” by John van Dru
ten.
Mr. Hyde will be played by Don
ald P. McNeil, senior drum major,
who is a veteran with nearly two
years' service as a fighter captain
in India and China. McNeil is no
novice when it comes to the stage,
either. The University theater stage
was familiar with his step before
the war, when he appeared in
"Berkeley Square,” “Idiot’s De
light,” “The Taming of the Shrew,”
and “Tovarich.”
“Mr. Hyde is a nice old man,” ac
cording to McNeil, "but he just
doesn’t seem to have money enough
to pay his debts. He isn't a 'dead
beat,’ he just doesn’t have the mon
ey.”
McNeil, whose favorite scene is
the family scene at the end of the
play, feels that “I Remember Ma
ma” will be well received because it
has such a wide appeal.
People Sentimental
“People are at heart sentimental
ists,” said McNeil, “and this is a

Radio Program Starts WSSF Drive;
Speaker, House Contests to Follow
Airing opinions on the World
Student Service Fund Saturday, the
senior editing class under the direc
tion of Dean George Turnbull, will
broadcast the “WSSF Forum” over
radio station KUGN at 3:15 p.m.
Taking part in the round table dis
cussion of the Webfoot drive, which
will take place from February 3
to 8, are “Rusty” Sparks, Don Mc
Intosh, Les Schlangen, and Dick
Shelton. Chairman of the campus
drive is Tom Hazzard.
To kick off the drive Sunday af
ternoon, a rally assembly will be
given in McArthur court arranged
by the Webfooters, the behind-the
scenes workers of the rally squad.
An all University talent program
will highlight the assembly.
Scheduled lor next week on the
WSSF drive is a campus speaker, a
living organization contest with
awards for winning organizations,
and a Duck-naming contest for the
unnamed neophyte rally duck.
The WSSF hopes to aid 400,000
students in foreign lands this year
through its national drive. To do
this the Fund is asking $1,000,000
from the million and a half students
and professors on American cam
puses, which constitutes half of the
$2,000,000 minimum necessary to
sustain the work of the WSSF.
Chinese Give Praise
Students in all parts of the world
are aided by WSSF. A typical letter
from a group of recent college
graduates in China said, “Without
your aid, we could not speak today.
This letter is not a letter of thanks.
Our letter of thanks will be written
on the first page of the history of
New China’s reconstruction.”
Many American organizations
are helping the WSSF in their drive.
Charles G. Bolte, chairman of the
American Veterans' Committee, has
written that "The AVC is making
every effort to cooperate with the
World Student Service Fund, and
heartily endorses its program. It is
the hope of the Committee that its
members will give their enthusias
tic support to the financial drive of
the Fund in their colleges. Certain
ly the immediate and long-range
objectives of WSSF are congenial to
our own great, constructive pur
poses at home and abroad.”
