Phi Sigma Sigma Begins
First Year on UO Campus
Nu Chi Nu of Phi Sigma Sigma,
the newest sorority on campus,
now has four active members and
five pledges. The chapter is now
a colony, but as soon as national
requirements are met they will
become a national chapter, said
Shirley Soble, president.
Phi Sigma Sigma, national soro
rity for Jewish women, was found
ed Nov. 26, 1913, at Hunter col
lege in New York. This year will
be the 40th anniversary of the so
rority. There are now 23 national
chapters with their headquarters
in Long Island, N. Y. They became
a member of National Panhellen
ic in 1951. Chapters of Phi Sigma
Sigma on the West coast are
located at UCLA and at the Uni
versity of Washington.
The national sorority supports
an organization called National
Philanthropy which gives money
to heart associations for such
heart diseases as rheumatic fev
er.
The Oregon chapter hopes to
have a house by next year. This
year six are living at Carson and
three are in Hendricks hall. Week
ly meetings are now held in the
Carson living room on Tuesday
nights. After a specified time de
pending on membership, scholar
ship and other factors, they will
become a national ohapter.
Their plans for this term include
a formal pledge dance to be held
on December 5 at the Temple
downtown.
All of the active members are
transfers this year from the Uni
versity of Washington. Pres. Shir
ley Soble, senior in art education,
is the treasurer of Carson hall.
Joan Klinger, vice-president, is
from Boise, Idaho. A speech ma
jor, Miss Klinger sings in the ex
change assembly program and
also has her own program on
KWAX every Tuesday night. Shir
ley Katz, treasurer, is a junior in
speech correction from Portland.
Shirley Greenblatt is a sophomore
in speech from Centralia, Wash.
The pledges are Joan Rubell,
Anne Rome and Hermine Golbe,
all of Portland; Rochell Cohen,
Stockton, Calif., and Marcia Pel
mont, Coos Bay.

Creative Understanding'
A capacity audience was cap
tured by the depth of Mrs. Chand
ler Beall's lecture on creative un
derstanding of modern art Wed
nesday night in the Browsing
room.
She illustrated her paper with
slides of pre-historic and Chinese
art and early Renaissance and con
temporary paintings which depic
ted the basic art principles she
discussed. The slides were loaned
by the school of architecture for
the lecture.
“Since art, especially modern
art, is being so widely discussed
in America at the present time it
is appropriate that we ask our
selves some questions about it.
Such as what is art? What is its
purpose, its message to civiliza
tion” asked Mrs. Beall.
There is an approach, she feels
for creative understanding — but
that unless it is creative it is not
understanding at all. “Judgements
based on likes and dislikes have
very little value, if any.”
The first step “is to face the
fact that art is a specific lang
uage of line, form, color — func
tioning in space and with space;
a language to be learned and ex
perienced according to its own
laws.”
The spiritual attitude of the
artist as he approaches his work
determines the nature of the art
he produces. "The works of great
artists like Picasso, Miro, Mon
drian, Matisse and Paul Klee, as
well as the old masters, evolve
out of space by an inherent neces
sity, as a plant grows out of seed
and soil. These men are true crea
tors,” continued Mrs. Beall.
Faculties used in the creative
understanding of art are faculties
we all possess; but they are not
the faculties we use in accumula
ting ordinary knowledge. "Again
it must be repeated,” she said,
“that the understanding of art
requires specific nonrational, non
intellectual faculties latent in
everyone, but which must be
awakened and developed.”
All great styles have been reli
gious throughout the history of
Western and Eastern art because
it was felt that great style could
not be achieved without the rela
tion of the particular to the uni
versal. “In the twentieth century,
however, we have turned away
from the religious idea and have
achieved style through a deeper
understanding of potentialities of
space in composition. The great
polarity of God and Man has been
somewhat reformulated,” contin
ued Mrs. Beall.
