Amateur Devotes Lots of Time To Making Animated Movie
"Iill huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your 16 mm camera down!" If this were said to Mrs. Arthur H. Wolf, 1015 Illinois st., she would probably fail her master of arts thesis at the University.
Mrs. Wolf is undertaking the production of an animated motion picture without any previous experience in the field. The film is a 16 mm sound motion picture-all animated. The illustrations are all drawn by Mrs. Wolf.
The work that must go into such a project is tremendous—for every foot of finished film there are 40 pictures. A 10-minute movie requires slightly under 400 feet of film. So with every picture individually drawn and photographed, it's understandable why eight months of work haven't produced the finished product.
"I didn't know a thing about animated movies when I started last fall, and there just isn't any place where you can find out anything either." Mrs. Wolf explained. "I wrote letters to every one but Walt Disney trying to get information. All I could get was advice not to try it. So I just started out," she said.
Each picture is individually drawn, and each differs slightly so that when they are photographed, one after the other, a smooth movement is given the characters.
Even with six hours of work a day, the film is little better than half done.
The thesis problem involved the transference of thought patterns into abstract painting. The story itself is a fantasy; the plot deals with two groups of "abstract people" who are represented by small green faces, red eyes, and lines.
The final and more technical photographic problems will be solved in the laboratories of the Centron corporation, local motion picture production company, which is operated by Mrs. Wolf's husband and Russell Mosser.

Changes in women's closing hours have been voted by the Associated Women Students.
From the end of finals to the end of commencement closing will be 1 a.m. instead of midnight as in previous years.
"It was felt that a change was necessary to provide less restriction for senior women and their guests during their last week here," Diana Foltz, pharmacy sophomore and chairman of the rules revision committee, said.
The AWS also decided to set Wednesday closing at 11 p.m. beginning with the fall semester. Wednesday closing is now 10:30 p.m. the same as other week nights.
As Wednesday is a commonly accepted date night at the University, the AWS felt that women should be allowed to stay out later. The passing of this rule was approved 100 per cent by the housemothers of women's dormitories and sororites.

the Student Council
Dean F. J. Moreau of the School of Law, appointed Shearer chief justice May 7, the day after the All Student Council failed to approve him as associate justice.
"But he is one of the very ablest men we could call on the Court," he added.
Yesterday Dean Moreau said that when he appointed Shearer, he did not know that the ASC had not approved him.
Allie Kathryn Grove, education junior, has been elected president of Pi Lambda Theta, national honor society for women in education.
Will Adams, one of the FACTS members who voiced opposition to Shearer's appointment at the ASC meeting, said, "Several FACTS Council members have known Mr.
Education Junior To Head Society
Others elected are Dana Hud-
Huddins, vice president; Georgia
Story, recording secretary; Marilyn
Kendall, corresponding secretary,
and Rosalie Thorne, keeper of the
records. All are education juniors.
Moreau Explains Court Appointment
Miss Ruth Kenney, director of the KU bureau of correspondence study, was chosen treasurer. Miss Helen Lohr, associate professor of home economics, is the faculty adviser.
New Art Courses Inaugurated Here
Two new courses have been added to the curriculum of the department of art history, Dr. John Maxon, assistant professor of art history and director of the museum of art, said today.
Shearen, in a letter to the Kansan yesterday, said he would resign his post if not given a majority endorsement vote by the Council.
The History of American Art, a three hour credit course, will be offered at 3 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during the fall semester.
During the spring semester a course in the History of Sculpture will be offered for two hours credit. History of English Art will also be offered for three hours credit.
Shearer for several years, and have felt that he would not be importial on the Court."
Adams felt that the two-thirds confirmation vote in the ASC is designed so that appointees will be acceptable to some elements of more than one party.
Student Summoned After Car Collision
Gerald Connolly, education senior, has been served with a summons by the sheriff's office to appear in county court prior to May 12 on charges of failing to give information and to render assistance at the scene of an accident.
Connolly was involved in a three-car collision Friday that resulted in over $200 to the automobiles. He was first in a line of three cars driving east on Highway 10. The cars collided when the drivers attempted to stop suddenly. No one was injured in the accident.
One of the cars was driven by Robert Breedlove, engineering senior, and the other was driven by Jesse L. Haws, 925 Kentucky st.
