About1000Participate In Annual Art Meeting
Approximately 1000 students from 42 schools in Kansas and Kansas City, Mo., participated in the 13th annual High School Art conference Friday and Saturday.
Students submitted examples of their work for criticism, attended exhibits, and demonstrations, or lectures on all fazes of art and design, had a Mardi Gras party Saturday night, and went to the Rock Chalk Revue.
The critics who discussed and scored the work on exhibit were Mrs. Bernice Setzer, director of art education, Des Moines; Miss Audry Miller, high school art teacher, Kansas City, Mo.; Hubert Hogue, high school art teacher, Tulsa; and Isabell Gaddis, former junior high school art teacher, now an instructor in the design department here at the University.
Opportunities in industrial design were discussed by Roger English, instructor of design. He said a person could work 20 years for a big company designing automobiles and not know as much about design, or be making as much money, as a college graduate in design.
Vocational opportunities in commercial art and fashion were outlined by Phillip Henderson, instructor in design. He outlined the steps used in advertising and said they were the most common field for the commercial artist. The possible fields for beginners after graduation were, according to Mr. Henderson, store advertising, agency advertising, commercial art studio work, engraving or lithographing, or free lance art work.

Pritchard Opens Trust Meeting
Dr. Leland J. Pritchard, professor of finance, spoke to about 100 persons this morning on the problems of investing during a transition period in the opening lecture of the 1954 Kansas Bankers association trust conference.
Other speakers for the one-day conference were Robert R. Girk, Indianapolis, Ind., attorney and estate planning specialist; Perry Pitcher, Topeka, trust officer, Central National Bank and Trust Co.; R.B. Medlin, Oakley, vice president, KBA, president, Farmers State bank; and Robert C. Guthrie, president, KBA trust division and trust officer, National Bank of Topeka, who presided at the conference.
Carl Bowman, secretary of KBA,
Topeka, designed the program and
handled details of advance registration.
The objectives of this conference was . . . "to keep abreast of the financial practices in regard to trust activities of the Kansas banks and to improve trust services for Kansans."
This afternoon a report of the committee on relations with the bar was given by William H. Vernon, chairman. New officers were elected at the business meeting.
Faculty members and students from both the University's law school and the Washburn law school in Topeka were guests of the association this afternoon.
The use of alcohol and tobacco must be accepted by modern society, Dr. Charles M. Gruber Jr., of Indianapolis, Ind., said in the annual Noble Pierce Sherwood lecture given last night.
Society Must Accept Usage Of Stimulants, Doctors Told
"Since liquour was first distilled"
"Since liquor was first distinct it has confronted society with the problem of drunkenness. Government, therefore, has had to regulate it," Dr. Gruber added, "but every government regulation to this time has been a failure."
Dr. Gruber said that 75 per cent of the nation's population over the age of 15 smoke or chew tobacco regularly. Of the total population, 3 per cent are alcoholics.
In an accident survey in Boston, Mass. Dr. Gruber said that alcoholism was involved in 25 per cent of all crimes. In national industry liquor results in accidents, absenteeism, loss of production, and salaries.
The nicotine in tobacco first stirs, then depresses the autonomic ganglia of the nervous system. Other components of tobacco said to be harmful include tars and carbon monoxide, Dr. Gruber said.
Statistics show that of patients with cancer of the lung a significant number were heavy smokers.
"Year by year deaths from several lung diseases show a correlation to heavy smoking. Physicians who study the problem say that beyond all reasonable doubt there is a relationship between some diseases and smoking." Dr. Gruber said.
Dr. Gruber termed the use of alcohol and tobacco as "a gamble."
"In playing poker we like to know what the stakes are but in the gamble of life there are several reasons why we don't. First, the stakes are not definite. We don't know what would happen to our economy without the sales of alcohol and tobacco."
Tobacco and alcohol are now our means of escape from boredom and worry. If we stop the use of alcohol and tobacco won't obesity and the associated diabetes, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, and fatigue increase? We may jump from the frying pan into the fire," Dr. Gruber warned.
Dr. Gruber said, "We don't wonder what the stakes are in the tobacco and alcohol gamble because we are by nature optimistic and think that it can't happen to us."
Chemist to Speak to ACS
Dr Raymond Kirk, professor of chemistry at Brooklyn Polytechnic institute, will speak at 6:15 today in the Student Union ballroom at a banquet for the division of chemical education of the American Chemical society. The society is holding its annual meeting in Kansas City this week, and the division of education was invited by the University to hold its meeting here.
