The Museum of Art has recently acquired a French and an English oil painting and a Roman tombstone dating from the late third century A.D.
The tombstone from Palmyra, Italy, was acquired through an anonymous gift to the Endowment association. Sculptured on it is a woman in the act of drawing her headaddress closer about her.

Autumn Leaves Are Falling, But Lack Traditional Color
Rv JEANNE LAMBERT
The quotations, changed regularly by Dean Lawson, have been gathered from "here, there, and everywhere," he said. Some are from the Bible. Others are from the work of well known authors.
"Some excuses are so terribly poor they won't even satisfy your parents."
"Tomorrow's victories depend on your learning to fight victoriously—right here and right now."

Leaons are falling off the trees without first turning the traditional red and gold and no one seems to know why.
has seen similar quotations in business places and decided students could profit from them.
Faculty Plans Colby Clinic
"Anyone can give up—it requires some manliness not to quit."
There is one saying in Dean Lawson's collection that is suitable for every student: "In this world you are judged by what you have done, not by what you can do."
These quotations are collected and posted by Dean Paul B. Lawson, He
"Some years all the conditions seem to be right for brilliant leaf color and then nothing happens," said Dr. Worthie H. Horr, assistant professor of botany. "Other times when the season hasn't been ideal, there will be lots of color."
"It's a complicated process," agreed Ronald McGregor, instructor of botany who explained that the amount of rainfall, temperature, weather cycles and amount of pigment in the leaf helped determine the coloring.
Seven faculty members will present a program Friday evening in Colby as part of the "Planning for Professional Progress" clinic.
The clinic, sponsored by the Schools of Fine Arts and Education, will be Friday and Saturday for teachers in northwest Kansas.
Five teachers will present solo numbers accompanied by Thomas Gorton, dean of the School of Fine Arts.
Journalists representing newspapers, magazines, radio, and television from all over the country will attend the annual convention.
Alan Marshall, journalism senior,
was chosen as an alternate delegate.
Before the music program Robert B. Green, assistant professor of painting, will give a demonstration of painting techniques. An exhibition of University art will be displayed.
Sheppeard Chosen As SDX Delegate
Lee Shepeard, journalism senior, was chosen Monday by Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, to represent the Kansas chapter at the national Sigma Delta Chi convention Nov. 14-17 in Detroit, Mich.

Orange and red coated hard Maples are found in front of Spooner-Thayer, Marvin and Robinson. Growing on many of the buildings are Virginia Creepers, now turning from green to red.
The bright blue flowers in front of Hoch auditorium are Plumbago. A row of Colchicum is blooming along the walk at Lindley.
One of the most colorful plants on the campus, said Mr. McGregor, may be hard to find. It resembles the Virginia Creeper, but its inclusion among student leaf collections is usually regretted. Its Latin name is "Toxicodendron Pubescens" but whether you call it that or by its more descriptive title, "Poison Ivy," it still itches.
Naval Commander Will Speak Today
Although the beauty of the campus may not measure up to that of other years, brighter autumn shades can be seen in many trees and flowers.
Sponsored by Scabbard and Blade, senior honorary military society, the talk will be at 7 p.m. today in the Military Science hall.
