Contemporary Italian Prints On Display In Student Union
The works of four major groups of contemporary Italian print makers are included in the George Binet Print Collection now on display in the first floor lounge of the Student Union.
Introduced for the first time to the American public, the works of the artists were assembled by Mr. Blinnet through visits to the artists' studios in Italy for the past several years.
The cross-section of printmaking in the exhibition selected for the 1955-56 season demonstrates a combination of the traditional and modern trends.
"Old Guard" Works
The first group, headed by Giorgio DeChirice, includes the best known contemporaries known as the "old guard" because of age and reputation. They are Carra, Casorati, DePisis, Funi, Severni, and Tosi. All are between 60 and 80 years of age and have exhibited works throughout Europe.
Between 40 and 60 years of age, the second group is composed of artists known in the graphic field as leaders in present day Italian art. They are Campigli, Bartolini, Marini, Santomase, and Music.
Younger Artists Displayed
The third group presents younger artists, mainly from the northern provinces of Italy, who live in or near Milan, and who are making a bid for attention and recognition.
They are Bordoni, Birolli, Morlottim, Sassu, Cagli, Consagra, and Musse.
A variety of trends and influences can be observed in the activities of prints from Rome and Florence shown in the last group. The artists are Levi, Macacri, Afro, Mirke, Capegressi, LaRegina, Arri, Ciarreechi, Viviani, and Loffrede.
Delta Theta Phi To Meet
Members of Delta Theta Phi, professional law fraternity, will hear M. C. Slough, professor of law, at 7 tonight in the English Room of the Student Union. He will speak on "Traffic Courts and the Lawyer."
Attlee Resigns AsLaborHead
LONDON—(U.P.)-Clement Atlee,
the giant-killer of British politics,
announced his resignation today as
leader of the British Labor Party.
Mr. Attlee had served 20 years as party leader, six of them as postwar prime minister. For five war years he was Churchill's understudy.
Mr. Attiele announced his retirement dryly and without drama at the opening of a meeting of Labor members of Parliament. Then, looking old and very sad, he sought the privacy of his own office in the House where he could conceal his feelings.
As soon as Attlee left the meeting room, an official announcement was issued saying:
"At the commencement of the meeting of the parliamentary labor party held this morning the Right Honorable C. R. Attlee, O.M., C.H. M.P., announced that he was retiring immediately from the leadership of the labor party."
Mr. Attlee's resignation signaled the jumpoff of a crucial three-way fight for his job as Labor Party leader—a post that makes its holder prime minister when the Laborites win an election.
The new struggle for power is one of world importance. It pits the Socialist right and left, the old guard versus the Young Turks, the Trade unionists against the intellectuals. Mr. Attlee's successor must forget an alliance from these variants.
Education Club To Meet
Interpreting children's actions and helping them overcome difficulties will be the Education Club discussion topic at 4 p.m. today in the Student Union. Miss Louise Leonard, instructor of education and guidance counselor, will speak.
Japanese Visits Kansas Cities
Masaji Narita, vice governor of Toyama Prefecture, Japan, is visiting the University and cities in Kansas including Lawrence and Topeka on a tour "to get acquainted with city governmental affairs."
His stop at KU is the only nonmetropolitan point on his coast-to-coast trip. He is traveling under the sponsorship of the United States State Department.
He made a brief tour of the campus, guided by Naomitsu Takashina, Kobe, Japan, graduate student. Mr. Narita was also a guest of the luncheon at the Faculty Club.
Mr. Narita will be in Lawrence today and Friday, and will observe particularly local administration and local self-government in action here.
Thursday he will go to Topeka. After a brief tour of the State-house, including the office of governor, he will study the state-local health division of the State Board of Health and the State Department of Education.
Mr. Narita will then meet all the Japanese students on the University at an informal dinner given by James W. Drury, associate professor of political science, who was a Fulbright professor at Tohoku University in Japan.
