Dr. John M. Maxon, the new director of the Museum of Art, has great plans for the museum. Among them is a proposed coffee bar and lounge complete with late editions of magazines. He hopes to start a coffee hour in the museum by the middle of October.
Dr. Maxon wants to integrate the art museum into the lives of the stu-
Dr. Maxon wants to integrate the debts and the community. To do this he is planning a series of exhibits that will interest students of drama, design, architecture, and home economics.
Among the exhibits planned for this year is a collection of Dean Cornwell's illustrations for the novel "The Robe." There will be 24 paintings from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in an exhibition of Dutch baroque art in mid-February. In the late spring there will be an exhibit of about 1,100 Japanese prints that were purchased by Mrs. Thayer who presented the museum with her collection of art. Dr. Maxon said he planned to lend duplicate materials for brief exhibitions in the local schools.
Dr. Maxon, who became director of the museum Sept. 1, was born in Salt Lake City. He went to school in Lawrence from 1922 to 1929. He was graduated from the Cooper Union Art school in 1938, received a bachelor of design degree from the University of Michigan in 1941, a master of arts degree from Harvard in 1945, and a doctor of philosophy degree in art history from Harvard this summer. He is also an assisnt professor of art history at the University.
He spent six months in England and western Europe this past year as a Sheldon Traveling Fellow from Harvard university. He gathered material for a doctorate thesis on Tintoretto.
Dr. Maxon plans to arrange the museum's Italian Christmas crib figures in a room by themselves saying that they are the best in the country. He pointed out the collection of mid-18th century hip flasks, that are on display, as being of interest and that the museum's collection of Korean pottery is one of the best in the country.

Cops Get Tight To Aid Science
Cleveland, Sept. 24-(UP)—Two city policemen nursed official hangovers today, from an official drunk.
Patrolman Walter Schaffer, 52,
and Detective John Andes, 33, drew
the assignment of getting plastered
Thursday before a session of the
Ohio safety conference—all in the
interests of science.
While still sober, the pair were asked to sort out decks of cards into suits and then in numerical order. Patrolman Schaffer performed the task in three minutes, 44 seconds and Detective Andes in two minutes, 12 seconds.
Next, they each drank six one- ounce shots of whiskey mixed with soda.
Finally, they were asked to run through the cards again.
The audience gasped as Mr. Schaffer, who by now registered as "drunk" on a police department drunk-o-meter, sorted the cards faster than he had when sober. However, in arranging spades numerically, it was discovered he had the 10 after the 4 and the 7 after the 10.
There Has To Be An Easier Way
Spokane, Wash., Sept. 24—(UP)

"But this is Spokane in Washington," the officer said. "It's a little bit out of my jurisdiction."
"I know," the woman said. "But Detroit police won't pay any attention to me. You call them back and they'll pay attention to you."
