Critics to Aid 500 Art Entries
No prizes will be awarded at the High School art exhibit now on display in Strong hall, but each of the more than 500 entries will receive helpful criticism from an art critic.
The exhibit is a feature of the 14th annual Kansas High School Art conference which is being held today and tomorrow.
Two kinds of entries are in the show. They are flat work, which consists of paintings, drawings, and etchings, and crafts, which include sculpture, leatherwork, jewelry, silversmithing, ceramics, weaving, and others. Each high school is limited to 10 entries.
Fifty-three senior and junior high schools are represented. This is the largest number ever to take part, said Maud Ellsworth, associate professor of education, and chairman of the exhibit.
Miss Ellsworth explained that the critics write down their comments on individual slips which are later handed to the students' art teachers. When the teachers receive the slips, they can see if they are progressing in the right direction.
On Saturday morning, a discussion of the exhibit will take place in Strong auditorium. The students and teachers will have an opportunity to discuss their work with the judges and with each other, and to offer suggestions and criticism.
"We also want the high school students to judge the works themselves," Miss Ellsworth said. "In this way, both the students and their teachers are stimulated."
Judges for the exhibit are Dr. Edward Del Dosso, director of art in the Minneapolis, Minn; schools; Mrs. Hortense Batehols, art instructor at Will Rogers High school, Tulsa, Oka; Victor Porter Smith, high school art teacher from University City, Mo., and Carlyle H. Smith, associate professor of design at the University.
2 Clubs to Sponsor Dance Tomorrow
A semi-formal dance sponsored by the International and Graduate clubs will be held at 9 p.m. tomorrow in the basement of the Lawrence Community building.
The Charlie Kynard combo will provide the music.

Tickets can be purchased for 50 cents a person at the offices of the dean of men, the graduate school, YMCA, and from the officers of the clubs or at the door.
The dance is open to the public.
