He is traveling to different cam puses during the academic year 1964 85 to talk with students about the relationship of the Methodist Church to the situa tion in Latin America today, es pecially in regard to the chal lenge it represents to the Student Christian Movement.

His relationship with the young people of Bolivia was very close and his term was spent in close involvement with the life of the people with whom he worked Through his work he gained an insight into the tensions and problems which face the country today in its many aspects. Prior to his term in Bolivia, Smith worked for seven weeks in j Bolivia in the summer of 1956 in church construction, aiding in study halls in schools and help ing the local youth groups. He said that much attention should he focused on the fact that we should relate to these people not only on the nation-to nation basis hut also on a person to person basis. He continued that the threat of Communism is still only a “threat." but if the basic social conditions of poverty, sickness and ignorance are ignored by the rest of the world, the Commu | nists can get an easy foothold in Latin America through promises and propaganda Smith is presently enrolled in Perkins School of Theology in !

STEVE SMITH CartoonistExhibits Original Artwork A collection of over 5,000 ori ginal cartoons by Quincy Scott of Nehalem, Oregon, editorial cartoonist of the Portland Ore gonian for nearly 20 years, is currently on exhibit in the Uni versity library. The collection represents a running contemporary commen tary on the political and social scene, both state and national, and in that sense is a major his torical document. In addition, it is valuable as part of the history! of illustration itself A few of Scott’s originals are in museums in the East, but the collection given to the library is probably the most complete col lection of an individual cartoon ist in any library It has value foi research by students of graphic art and by historians. In addition to the cartoons for the Oregonian, the collection in cludes earlier work done for New York newspapers, and for book and magazine illustrations. The artist was particularly adept at; drawing animals, and his car toons are marked by a liberal use of the Aesopian method, with il lustrations rather than words. Another hallmark of the Scoit j cartoon is the classic allusion, re-1 fleeting the artist’s early educa-l tion and family background. Mr. Scott was born in Ohio in 1882, the son of Walter Q. Scott, president of Ohio State Univer sity. His early cartoon work was done in New York, where he was influenced to some extent by an other Oregon cartoonist, Homer Davenport. He was Oregonian cartoonist from 1931 to 1949. The collection is a major addi tion to the library’s cartoon hold ings, which include the work of George Hager, Edward S. "Tige” Reynolds, and Homer Davenport.
