This One Will Tickle Your Tonsils-At Least!
University Daily Kansan
Appreciation of art adds quality to a person's life. Miss Maud Ellsworth, associate professor of education, said recently at the Art Education club. She explained that the purpose of art education was not primarily to train artists to enter the commercial field, but to give everyone a keener understanding of the beauty that surrounds them.
'Art Appreciation Gives Life Quality'
Most people have a talent for art, but few people exercise it to the point where they can fully enjoy it, she said. She pointed out that the merchant who uses art in displaying his wares will have the most successful business."
Another fact emphasized in the discussion was that art has a therapeutic value. Psychologists know that art can play an important part in relaxing the tensions of our modern life. "The individual integrates a part of himself into his art," ans Elsworth explained.

A man of varied talents is Eldon Teft, fine arts senior, who is interested in sculpture, and lists sword-swallowing and fire-eating among his abilities.
Tefft, who lives at 1333 Connecticut street, is a war veteran of the Southwest Pacific, and probably ranks as the foremost sword-swallower at the University. He has swallowed a sword with a 17-inch blade, and has X-ray photographs to prove it.
He became interested in this rare art when a carnival came to Lawrence more than two years ago. After watching the performers he went home and before long became an expert at both sword-swallowing and fire-eating. His own mark of 17 inches is about 10 inches short of the record. Tefft says that you can swallow only the distance between your mouth and stomach.
Tefft is a quiet, unassuming young man who talks very little about himself. Interested in sculpture, he started last summer in an attempt to re-establish the lost art of bronze casting. He has discontinued the work for this fall, but plans to start anew in the spring.
The process, practice by the ancient Greeks and later resurrected by Benvenuto Cellini, famous 16th century sculptor, has become a trade secret practiced in only a few foundries over the world.
The process can be carried out in a foundry, but the high costs of this hollow bronze casting have kept it from being established as an art. The

process is simple. A hollow wax pattern is prepared, and after plaster is poured on the inside and outside, the wax is melted out and bronze is poured into the model.
Tefft, who spent months of research at Tulsa university on the subject after returning from the army, believes the art has suffered through neglect and should be re-established.
