Classic Art In Wilcox
By RENATE MAYES (Of the Daily Kansan Staff)
"There will be no smoking allowed during the performance, except in Wilcox Museum." This phrase may be Greek to all who have not attended plays presented in Fraser Theater. Actually, Wilcox Museum offers much more than just a place in which to smoke.
On the second floor of Fraser Hall it was established in 1886 in connection with the department of Latin and Greek. The museum contains plaster casts of Greek and Roman sculpture, as pictured, photographs, books, and a classical antique collection. It was named in honor of Prof. A. M. Wilcox, head of the Greek department for over 40 years. Miss Mary Grant, associate professor of Latin and Greek, is the curator.
Most noticeable are the plaster replicas of Greek and Roman originals, reproduced by the Caproni firm of Boston at a cost of $150 each.
Casts of the entire cast frieze of
the cella in the Parthenon--masterpieces of Greek architectural sculpture—are exhibited. In the shallow relief, foreshortening and varying the figures has been mastered.
A cast entitled "Emperor Augustus" is outstanding because, unlike the others, it is painted in vivid colors. Several years ago, Poco Frazier, a KU athlete who studied sculpturing, painted this cast as an experiment. Many early pieces of sculpture were painted, Miss Grant said.
A Greek drinking cup or "kylix" belonging to Miss Grant, came from Vulci, north of Venice, but the style dates it as fifth century B.C.
There are many genuine antiquities in the collection. They include Greek and Roman coins, vases, lamps, and bronze keys, and measuring weights.

He's Not Even Safe In Prison
SAN QUENTIN, Calif. (U.P.)—The Internal Revenue Bureau today served notice on prison author Caryl Chessman to pay up $3,433.62 in delinquent 1954 income taxes or he'll be in trouble. Chessman is appealing a death sentence from San Quentin prison.
Game experts estimated that the rabbit population of Wisconsin rose from 1,095,990 in 1954 to 1,364,659 in 1955. In the same period, squirrels dropped from 1,532,-056 to 1,207,210.
MOSCOW (U.P.)—The Soviet press today accused Secretary of State John Foster Dulles of distorting history in his interview in Life magazine in an effort to maintain permanent international tensions.
Soviet Press Criticizes Life Article By Dulles
A long Tass News Agency dis patch from New York distributed to the Soviet press said it was "obvious from the text" that Mr. Dulles used the interview to preach the "discredited policy of 'position of strength' of bristling atomic weapons."
The Tass dispatch took up Mr. Dulles' main three points one by one—that the United States was prepared to go to war if the Korean truce negotiations failed; that Mr. Dulles sought Anglo-American intervention in Indochina and that the United States was ready to go to war if necessary during last year's Formosa crisis.
First, it said, "the United States agreed to a truce in Korea only after its intervention against the Korean people suffered a decisive collapse."
Second, "in order to realize the groundlessness of Mr. Dulles' claim he prevented war in Southeast Asia, it is sufficient to recall that the United States refused to sign the Geneva agreement on Indochina and now hampers implementation of the agreement."
Third, "the facts indicate that in all three cases, if as Mr. Dulles said the world was on the verge of war, it was only as result of the American policy of position of strength as result of crude interference in the affairs of other states."
ALGIERS, Algeria (U.P.) — Spo radic clashes between French troops and terrorists claimed another 24 lives in Algeria and Morocco today. Gov. Gen. Jacques Soustelle warned over radio Algiers that France is determined to keep Algeria and that continued rebellion "can only condemn . . more and more Algerians to death and ruin."
