American Novel Course Has Surprising Success
Bv RON KULL
An English course cautiously introduced to instruct foreign students in a historical and critical study of American novels of the 19th and 20th centuries has had overwhelming success its first semester.
Walter J. Meserve, instructor of English, who planned the course, English 197 or the American novel, said he expected around a dozen students to enroll. As he puts it, "everyone was shocked" when 45 students enrolled in the course.
Probably one of the most shocked was Franklyn C. Nellick, assistant professor of English, who was needled to take half the students.
An addition to nine foreign students, others seem to enjoy reading a novel a week, listening to lectures, and discussing them for two and a half hours every Tuesday night for three hours credit.
The course starts out with Wharton, then takes in Cather, Dreiser, Lewis, Hemingway, DosPassos, Faulkner, Wolfe, Steinbeck, Fitzgerald, and ends with Marquand.
As one student puts it, "The class gives me an excuse to read a lot of books I an excuse to read anyway."
Mr. Meserve said he didn't think American Novel will be offered in the fall semester of next year, but would probably be given in the spring semester.
Museum to Show 30 Color Paintings
Thirty water color paintings, described by Prof. Raymond Eastwood, Museum of Art director, as "the finest water color exhibitions we've ever had on this campus," will be on display in the museum through June 7.
The exhibit features one work from each of 30 American contemporary artists. Some of the paintings were done in the early part of this century. Many styles of painting are represented.
The exhibit is from the fine arts collection of the International Business Machines Corp. Professor Eastwood hopes the closing date can be extended because of the probable popularity of the paintings.

ISA Launches Early Membership Drive
WOLFSON'S 743 Mass.
The Independent Student association this week launched an "advance membership" campaign for the school year 1953-54 which offers independent students an opportunity to participate in the ISA program for less than it will cost next fall.
Electronically Timed. Guaranteed Satisfaction 1 Week or Less Service
ISA President William Harmon college freshman, pointed out that the same membership which will cost $1.50 in September is being offered this month for $1, which was the price of membership this year.
During this week, student salesmen will begin selling memberships in the ward system and organized halls. Memberships will be available at the ISA picnic at Lone Star lake Wednesday. Harmon emphasized that since the number of cards is limited, sales will stop when the supply is exhausted.
Beth to Career Conference
"This is being done to stimulate interest in the organization, to help finance ISA functions during orientation week, and to get a membership nucleus with which to begin next fall's program," Harmon said.
Elmer F. Beth, professor of journalism, is in Jefferson City, Mo., as a consultant on the program of a two-day career conference at Lincoln university. He will discuss opportunities in journalism and advertising.
Soprano Erma Lutz Smith, fine arts senior, will present a recital at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Strong auditorium.
Mrs. Smith is a student from the classes of Reinhold Schmidt, and has also studied with Mrs. Alice Morrieck.
Mrs. Smith Recital Set Wednesday
Mrs. Smith is from Dodge City. She is a member of Mu Phi Epsilon, professional sorority and Kappa Alpha Theta social sorority. Later this spring, she will appear in an opera workshop production.
She will be accompanied by Martha Heck, fine arts senior. The program will be open to the public.

"Man in The Dark"
Men' Banishes Gals In Fine Arts Feud
By TOM STEWART
A current of feminine resentment was obviously in the air Friday as a sign painter put three letters, M-E-N, on the door of a room on Strong hall's third floor.
The room's outer door opens onto the east end of the hall, and at the rear is the entrance to the actual men's room. For years, both male and female students, and occasionally faculty members, have used the outer room for smoking and relaxing during "breaks."
As the strokes of the brush formed the word "MEN," this era of conviviality came to an end.
Raymond Eastwood, professor of drawing and painting, who requested the painting of the sign, explained, "If it's a men's room, it should be obvious that no women are to use it."
So entrenched have the women become through the years, though, that the edict means eviction for at least one girl who has had her locker in the room. Many others have suddenly found they must locate a new place to hang their coats.
"There have never been any women students authorized to have lockers in there." Prof. Eastwood said. He explained that the area is technically a locker room and ante-room affixed to the men's room proper.
"This sign is for purposes of identification," he said. Many visitors come to the third floor, and "there's always men looking for the men's room. A sign was needed on the door of the outer room," he explained.
Smoking may continue in the room, but only for men. The women are effectively banished to the women's room. This is to some a severe blow, because the fine arts "caste" system decrees that smoking in the women's room is practiced only by female freshmen and others not yet awarded entrance to the outer chamber of the men's room.
Many fine arts students have a different theory as to why the "segregation" has been effected. They say Prof. Eastwood acted to retaliate for the manner in which they decorated the room Thursday.
Several portraits were hung about the walls, with labels such as "Our Founder," "Mother," "Son" and so forth. A peep-show offered astounding views of the dorsal portions of
a rather bulky nude. The transom of the outer door was done in a stained glass effect, and labeled "Moulin Rogues."
Friday morning found a typed note from Prof. Eastwood tacked to the door. It said too much inflammable material was in the room, and that smoking had to cease until the situation changed.
The situation changed, but the word soon circulated that the dreaded "MEN" sign was to go up before the day's end. This, the students feel, was the supreme stab in the back.
Much grumbling is taking place, but few students see any solution to the problem. As one girl put it, "Just think—next year I'll be spending about seven hours a day up in this hole. We've just got to get that room back!"
Another, watching the painter's brush banish her from the room she had grown to love, said wistfully, "Oh, please. Can't I go in just one more time?"
Clark to Attend Education Seminar
