Exposure Concept Dominates Exhibits
The concept of exposure dominates the thinking behind the various art exhibits on campus.
Raymond Eastwood, professor of drawing and painting and chairman of the department of art since 1922, says this is the way to have midwestern art students' work seen.
"DR. MURPHY thought we ought
Doctor Gives Survival Tips
RIDGEFIELD, Conn. — (UPI) — "Nuclear fallout, with all its dangers, is no reason for the people of America to resign from the human race."
With those words, Dr. John H. Heller, director of the New England Institute of Medical Research, offered a revised set of "commandments" on how to survive in case of all-out thermonuclear war.
"TODAY," SAID the physician-scientist, "we face an adversary who is talking about a 100-megaton bomb. We have no reason to think he will not develop such a bomb. He certainly has the rocketry to deliver it."
Dr. Heller, a former project director of the Atomic Energy Commission, rejected suggestions that a basement fallout shelter would be the answer for all. Instead, he explained, in case of a 100-megaton bomb blast, any area within a radius of 40 to 50 miles would be in the "ignition range — that is the area in which fires would be started from the heat of the explosion."
Residents of suburban areas who scurried to their basement fallout shelters might be trapped inside, beneath a blazing building.
"I WOULD advise building shelters outside the house because radioactive particles will fall on the roof of the house, and radiation, going out in all directions, would go right through the wood of the house into the basement."
In building shelters, he said, "the main thing to remember is that the more mass between you and the radioactive material — the safer you are."
Dr. Heller said: "You can build a shelter of cream puffs if it is thick enough."
CONCRETE, he said, is the most practical material for a home shelter, and such a shelter covered with dirt would be even better.
Dr. Heller said that a 100 megaton bomb, dropped on such a target as New York City, probably would be exploded at a height of 10 to 15 miles so as to achieve maximum effect. Thus, you would have about seven seconds before the second, and really hot flash came. This might give you time to seek shelter.
"If not, get in the shadow of something. The second flash will be hot enough to cause things in the ignition area to smoulder or burn," he said.
DR. HELLER said a 100-megaton bomb probably would cause second degree skin burns up to 60 miles away.
"Nighttime would be the most advantageous to Russia," he said. "This would mean it would be daylight over there and they would have better conditions under which to make a defensive stand against the retaliation they know would be coming."
to have the same relationship in the arts as in sports," Professor Eastwood said. "So we began a kind of Big Eight Conference exhibition for art." (Franklin D. Murphy was Chancellor of KU until June 1960.)
The design, theater design and other departments are represented. Each Big Eight school is invited to send representative work. Response has been good in the past.
ALL EXHIBITS ARE JUDGED Each exhibition runs about a month Prof. Eastwood said.
A. Dwight Burnham, associate professor of drawing and painting, is chairman of the committee which selects KU student work for display. Exhibits are selected by the faculty of the various departments.
The representation of sculpture is rather small because not all schools teach sculpture, Prof. Eastwood said. Print making isn't widely represented either. Missouri has a small art department offering only painting. Nebraska, Colorado and Oklahoma have departments similar to KU's.
WHAT BECOMES of the pictures after they are exhibited? The out-of-town items are returned, but some of the KU items are bought by interested individuals. Last year two paintings and a number of prints were sold.
Lest they be overlooked, there are exhibitions of paintings constantly occurring in the Union. These are guest exhibits arranged by the Student Union.
Prof. Eastwood says paintings should be where people are and not in galleries.
"IT'S KIND OF A painless way of introducing the general student to art," he said. "Many people don't even notice that the paintings are there until they are gone, and then they miss them."
Schmidt to Present Recital Tomorrow
The Faculty Recital Series of the KU School of Fine Arts opens tomorrow at 8 p.m. in Swarthout Hall with a recital by Reinhold Schmidt, bass-baritone. Assisting Prof. Schmidt at the piano will be Marian Jersild, associate professor of piano. The concert is open to the public without charge.
During 1960 Prof. Schmidt toured West Germany presenting an extensive series of Lecture Recitals on American Art Song Literature.
For his program he has selected groups of songs by Vaughan Williams and Moeran. Closing the program will be Mahler's Kindertotenlieder (Songs on the Death of Children).
Studying Hotel Administration
The 20 are graduates of the Indonesian Government Hotel School in Bandung. They are living in the St. George Hotel in Brooklyn and taking special evening courses at the Community College of Brooklyn.
NEW YORK — (UPI)—Twenty young Indonesians are studying hotel administration in on-the-iob training programs in New York hotels.
During the day, they work in some of New York's best-known hotels, including the Astor, Commodore, St. Moritz, Pierre, Bilmore, Barclay and Hampshire House.
