IS A FRIDAY. AUGUST 3. 162 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Women's News Social Events mm A collection of junk aroused more interest and caused more comment among visitors to the art exhibit of the Seattle World's Fair than any other work when Potpourri toured the show., Visitors were crowded around the thing exclaiming, arguing, laughing, The object the catalog classifies it as sculpture, was put together by Jean Tinguely, Swiss born artist now living In Paris. It is made up of wheels, bars, rods, bolts, screws something which looks like ends of metal. It is motivated and every few minutes its parts fly up and down and otherwise move. It was interesting to watch the faces of the audience Many at first laughed, some were annoyed, some puzzled all were interested. No one passed it by. As we stood among a group of IS or 20 visitors watching and examining the the sculpture, a man nearby asked "What do you make of this thing? and after a moment we said that It reminded us nf the roadsides along the highway between Tacoma and Seattle. The horrible assortment of business "junk which line this stretch of road gives the impression of being 1 ghastly, useless mess. Some of the viewers were insulted that this conglomera tion of metal should be permitted in the show as art and expressed their annoyance. Near Potpourri stood a young couple and a girl, about 10 contraption and at length the an, possibly her mother, stared at her for a time and then asked of the man "Did you hear what she said?" He went on with the business of taking a picture and asked. "No, what did she say" and the astonishment, "She says it s laughing at us. This was a more astute response to Tinguely's idea than some of the adults were making. Those who frequent art museums and galleries in this country have probably observed the difference in the reac tion to the so-called masterpieces and contemporary work, particularly abstract art. There was an air of respect and almost reverence among those walking through the section of the exhibit at the Seattle fair devoted to the works of Van Dyck, Degas, Millet, Fragonard, Waiteau, Rousseau, etc. When the viewers progressed to the section devoted to "Art Since 1950" this attitude changed, In general. Of course, there were those who were attentive and apprecia tive of this section as well as the first. One young man was jubilant over finding that Pollock's works were included, and some stood absorbed before the canvasses of Tobey and Morris Graves. F it one heard such remarks as "My four-year-old son could do as well!" or "Is that what they teach in art schools now?" One well-dressed, intelligent looking young man said abruptly to his group "Look, Let s get out of here. About this time a middle Potpourri and said, in an urgent voice, "I've got to talk to someone! What's the matter with these people? Don't they realize that they're looking at themselves? Can't they see that these painiings are today's world? Look at that girl!" She pointed to a teenager wearing sloppy shorts, a gaudy blouse of fluorescent pink and a silly fair hat with a couple of droopy artiflcal plumes. "She should make fun of what she's seeing!" said the excited woman, with scorn in her voice. In a calmer mood she told us that she lives In Portland, studied art under Hoffman as a girl and Is a part of the Portland Art Museum "circle." Potpourri continued the tour with her for a time, and found her comments en lightening. We agreed that the works of European and South Amer ican contemporary artists in the exhibit have more violence, confusion and action than those of the United States artists, which at first would seem impossible. But we also agreed that the outcry and message of these artists is becoming monotonous to many. It is not enough in this day . and age to merely protest that the world Is all wrong. Not all artists are angry, In revolt against society or trying to change the world. Gordon Onslow-Ford, whose extraordinary black and white paintings are on display now at Rogue gallery, says this is an exciting time to be a part of the world, is not fearful because of the East-West struggle and has confidence in the future. Although his paintings are of dots, lines, circles, whorls, etc., they do not give an impression of disarray or disorder but rather of basic ele ments merely awaiting a strong to useful purpose. O.S.

Home on the Range Look Now Home on the Campus By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - (UPI) - The fash ions once home on the range now are home on the campus. The influence of frontier and Western regalia pervades the new fall and winter fash ions for the nation's coeds. The Western look shows in copies of frontier jackets with tight waistbands, in saddle stitch trim, in yoke detailing, and neck scarves in tattersall check or gingham patterns. There even are snap suspen ders and hip slung belts. The frontier influence shows in print calico blouses teamed with aenim jumpers, for instance. A favorite for fall is the cowpoke skirt, call ed the hipster. This skirt. slung low on the hips, usually teamed with broadcloth shirt, complete with string tie. Move lo Mohair The low slung look domi nates in leisure wear trousers too. The waistband rides two or three inches below the normal waist and is marked with saddle stitching or welt seaming. Paired with match ing jackets or pullovers, these cowgirl pants appear for fall in a variety of color and fab ric-red suede cloth, blue den im or even black velveteen. Campus classics for fall come with many new vari ations. A perusal of college shops in New York shows new pairings for sweaters instead of the traditional pullover plus cardigan. A sleeveless turtleneck can be worn with another sweater, or by itself. A deep V-throated sweater goes it alone, or with a modi- fled turtle neck underneath. Mohair sweaters are the coed's newest love, replacing the Shetland. These bulky numbers come in cardigan or pullover styles. One has four patch pockets that give it the look of a blouse. For evening, off-shoulder mohair sweaters are paired with tweedy skirts - a reflection of high fashion designers' featuring souffle wools for formal wear for fall. Hooded Evening Dresses Leather trim shows on everything - on the pockets of skirts, as fringe on a sus pender skirt, leather belt and pockets on jumpers, leather weskit to match the leather trim on a kilt-length skirt. Other highlights of campus fashions: -Hoods everywhere. Jump ers come with hoods. So do fuzzy coats, sweaters, and evening dresses. -Shortie skirts includ i n g kilt lengths run about even in numbers with the classic skirts in plaids and tweeds. -The jumper is back, shown cither with or without belt. Jumpers with few exceptions are pared down in silhouette. -The little boy look, with Eton jackets. Return Central Point-Mr. and Mrs. William H.
