Eastwood Finds Ideal Paint Site
Raymond J. Eastwood, associate professor of drawing and painting, has traveled more than 30,000 miles in search of the perfect place in which to paint. He found it the past summer.
On a Navajo reservation, along the northern boundary of Arizona, there is a fantastic country known as Monument valley. Great sandstone buttes rise from the desert forming a panorama of magnificence. It was here that he set up his easel and began painting, Professor Eastwood said.
He completed about 20 paintings. Several are hanging in the studio on the fourth floor of Frank Strong hall.
Professor Eastwood stayed at the Goulding Indian Trading post near the site of old Fort Apache. He found the Navajo families in the vicinity very friendly. They live in appalling poverty, he said.
Professor Eastwood, who was with an army photographic unit during the war, also took numerous color photographs of the area.

Oklahoma City, Oct. 12—(UP)—G.
W. McLaurin conferred with his advisers today to decide whether he will enroll tomorrow and become the University of Oklahoma's first Negro student.
OU To Admit Negro Student
The 54-year-old professor was given a the green light late Monday when the O.U. regents announced he would be admitted to the Graduate school Wednesday, but would be kept separate from white students:
The announcement came as a surprise, since the regents decided only last week to check the problem with O. U. President George L. Cross, who was to study ways to admit a Negro on a "basis of complete segregation," and report to the board Nov. 10.
The new ruling puts it up to Mr. Cross immediately, even though he was in New York when it was announced. The regents met secretly in Norman Sunday, and decided to break off the school's 40-year-old no-Negro policy at once.
Mr. Cross must determine the exact means of segregation, without taking away from Mr. McLaurin any of the equal educational opportunities in the Graduate School.
Some of the Negroes who have pushed Mr. McLaurin's fight through the federal courts indicated at least temporary satisfaction.
Thomas Club To Air Views
To create public interest in world and national problems and to encourage students "to ask questions and think intelligently about those problems" is the aim of the "Students for Norman Thomas" club, members said Monday.
The next meeting will be at 7:15 p.m. Monday, Oct. 18, at the Don Henry Co-op.
The group will try to present the Socialist viewpoint to all organized houses before the election Nov. 2. In addition, they will ask the A.S.C. to sponsor a forum of all national political parties so students may have information on all national platforms.
Officers of the organization are John H. Michener, graduate student, chairman; Wesley Elliott, graduate student, vice chairman; and Joyce Harkleroad, College sophomore, secretary.
Committee chairmen are publicity, Tal Hiebert, College sophomore; organization, Dean Gregory, College senior; and social, Alba Mazzitelli, graduate student.
Requests for interview dates are coming in at the rate of three daily, Frank Pinet, director of the business placement bureau, said today.
Plenty Of Jobs For Mid-Year Graduates
"Most companies indicate heavy job requirements to be met from the January graduating class and those who regularly recruit employees from Colleges are returning this fall." he said.
An increasing number of inquiries are being received from smaller Kansas firms. Mr. Pinet said that this indicated a general tightness in the labor market and an increased awareness of University employment facilities by the small business man. Many companies have immediate job openings.
US, Soviet Union Continue Fight In UN Meeting
Paris, Oct. 12—(UP)—The United States warned the Soviet Union today that the American rearmament program is being speeded to "stay the heavy hand of Russia's constant drive for world power."
U. S. delegate Warren Austin made this statement in a speech before the United Nations political committee, which was considering a Russian proposal for immediate one-third disarmament by the Big Five powers.
Admitting that the United States disarmed "too far and too fast" after World War II, Austin said this mistake was going to be remedied by a stepped-up rearmament program designed to protect against Russian aims of world domination.
Russian delegate Andrei Vishinsky replied in a shouting, screaming speech of one hour and 57 minutes in which he made some of the bitterest charges ever heard in a United Nations meeting. Raising his voice to a shriek, the prosecutor of famous Moscow purge trails:
Mr. Austin denounced Russia for blocking a lasting peace, creating a threat to peace, refusing to cooperate in the U.N. and frustrating a settlement of the Berlin crisis
2. Accused the Western powers of "making believe" that they wanted to prohibit the atomic bomb, while actually depending upon "this illegitimate queen."
1. Asserted that Russia will give no information about her armed forces to the world until and unless the U.S. discloses the size of her stockfile of atomic bombs.
3. Warned that "there is a reply for every weapon, gentlemen—don't forget that—there is a reply for every weapon."
4. Accused the Western powers of plotting with Nazi Germany to attack Russia in 1939.
5. Attacked John Foster Dulles, Republican foreign policy adviser who frequently has been mentioned as a probable choice for U.S. secretary of state if Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York is elected president next month. He said Dulles' New York law firm of Sullivan and Cromwell played a major part in building the war potential of Hitler's Germany.
6. Denounced the delegates of the U.S., Britain and France for "transgressing all permissible limits" in their "unbridled attacks" on Soviet Russia.
Even while Vishikshy was speaking, a sub-committee of the political committee was overwhelmingly approving the Western powers plan for international control of atomic energy, and rejecting the latest Soviet proposals on this question
Mr. Otis said the two biggest problems in survey work are time and accuracy. Time is important because of the need to get survey results before a question is outdated. Mr. Otis said that surveys are called "emergencies" by the men of his organization because of this time element.
A talk about survey companies was given Oct. 8 by Mr. Raymond Otis, field supervisor of the Psychological corporation of New York, to the class in consumer and opinion Research.
Consumer Survey Class Gets Advice
Checking the accuracy of the interviewers, tabulators, and coders in order to keep results valid is another headache. he explained.
he urged students to get graduate degrees if planning to enter the field. "The business is becoming more and more a place for experts," he said.
Mr. Otis is conducting a survey in this area for a Kansas publication.

Marian Jersild Well Liked In First Concert
By NORMA HUNSINGER
Miss Marian Jersild, instructor in piano, opened the 1948 concert course Monday night with a recital in Frank Strong auditorium.
Miss Jersild was greeted enthusiastically by the capacity audience and received encores on every number. She played both modern and classical selections, and demonstrated versatility in training, interpretation, and technique.
Other numbers on her program were "Toccata in D major" by Bach, "Variations" by Beethoven, "Prelude, Arioso, and Fuguette on Bach" by Honegger, and "Symphonic Etudes" by Schumann.
The three numbers by Chopin were also popular. Two short and brilliant Etudes were contrasted by the melodic "Nocturne in F sharp major," showing Miss Jersild's flexibility. Another well-liked number was "Alma Brasileira" by Villa-Lobos, contemporary Brazilian composer. This modern number is emotional and impressionistic with several moody passages.
Miss Jersild came to the University in 1947 and gave her first piano recital here in October of that year. She has studied under Rudolph Ganz.
Featured on the program was "Theme and Variations" composed in 1946 by Katharine Mulky, instructor in organ and theory. The number is modern in tone and form and was much applauded.
