Architect Tells
Of Planes,Grids
By BARBARA HEYWOOD
i Based on concepts of space
j unique in the contemporary period,
and on the use of the grid, modern
architecture is now an accepted
form, said Marion D. Ross, assist
ant professor of art and architec
ture. Ross delivered the second lec
ture in the extension division se
ries “Currents of Creative
Thought” last night in the brows
ing room of the library.
Complete penetration of outer
and inner space is allowed by the
use of the grid, a skeleton of con
struction using only an “edge,” no
heavy-appearing masses to sup
port the building, said Ross. The
use of modern building materials—
steel, concrete and glass—has re
sulted in this new buoyant type of
architecture, he said. These mate
rials came into general use in the
late nineteenth century, said the
architect, bringing with them the
beginnings of a gradual change in
architecture.
Buildings that frankly express
the materials out of which they are
constructed, that is steel buildings
that look like steel buildings and
ficers are Ed Heide, president;
Howard Fidler, vice president;
Donna Willingham, secretary; Don
Lee, treasurer; Walt Grande, pro
gram chairman; Don Krause, rep
resentative to the University re
ligious council.
Appointive positions for next
year include editor, Esther Olson;
publicity, Lois Ann Helikson;
world correspondence secretary,
Ray Petersen; membership. Jay1
Reese; program committee—wor
ship hairman, Dorothy Skilbred;
music chairman, Dale Petersen:
and ISA organist, Ethel Anderson;
social committee, Joan Reid, Carol
Algner, and Vic Christiarfsen.
Full Payments Due

ness manager of the yearbook.
Missi Yevtich said payments

court.

noon to register or add classes,

not like stone ones, are fairly re
cent and a good phase in the evo
lution of modern architecture, Ross
said.
He commented that the sky
scraper is America’s unique contri
bution to the contemporary type of
building, but that the United States
had to learn from Europe that a
tall building need not be one with
extremely exaggerated vertical
lines.
Between the cubist paintings of
Picasso and Georges Braque, and
the interpenetrating planes of mod
ern architecture there is a definite
inter-relation, Ross said. Both the
painters and the architects were
preoccupied with the relation of
planes to each other, and with the
floating of balanced planes in space.
Through the use of the grid with
its strategically placed stress
points, some modern buildings give
this impression, borrowed from cub
ism of balanced planes and free
flow of space, said the speaker.
Ross’ lecture was accompanied
by slides showing modern buildings,
and buildings from other architec
tural periods which illustrated the
changes which have come about in
architecture.
Blind Vets to
Get Aid Repairs
Blind veterans in Oregon who
have recieved special aid equipl
ment from the veterans adminis
tration soon may obtain minor re

said yesterday.

worer said He also urged that all

Water Pageant
Theme Selected
“Dreamland” has been chosen as
the theme for the water pageant
to be presented by Amphibians,
Thursday, May 7, in the Men’s
Pool.
The story opens witn a girl who
finds herself “ncompased by a
land of unreality. Her hopes and
desires all seem to have come true
in her first habitat, “Candyland.”
From here she continues into an
other mystical world, “Moonland,”
which seems to be even more un
believable than “Candyland.” This
story of contentment does not end
until she reaches “Bubbleland,”
the climax of the water show.
This elaborate presentation is
being prepared by, and will in
clude, all members of Amphibians
organization.
