Art Students Stage Annual Walkout Today
At 10 a.m. today Raymond Eastwood, associate professor of drawing and painting, entered an empty classroom. His students were celebrating an annual walkout which Professor Eastwood described as, "as old as the Hill itself."
The University Art club had planned the walkout carefully and all students in the drawing, painting and design department were invited to go on a picnic at Lone Star lake.
Craig Hampton, club president, said that although much of the club's time was devoted to perfecting plans for transportation, refreshments, and incidentals, the students were careful to protect their annual "top drawer" secret.
Professor Eastwood took a philosophical view about the business of having his class "take to the woods." He explained that on the whole the faculty was more likely to "relax and enjoy it" than to launch any sort of reprisal on the delinquent students.
"They will be back in class tomorrow," he said and then added, "that is if they aren't too sunburned."

He has been an executive of the Southern Pacific railroad, Southern Greymound bus lines, and Alaska steam ship lines, and he was chairman of the board of T.W.A.

Truman Doesn't Expect A Meeting With Stalin
Washington, May 13—(UP)—President Truman said today he does not expect to have a meeting with Josef Stalin—even though the Russian leader has a standing invitation to visit Washington.
For the first time since Russia's "peace offensive" began two days ago, the atmosphere began to clear. Initial hopes for an early end of the cold
Little Man On Campus
The president also said the Moscow "peace offensive" has not increased his hope for peace.
His feelings, he said, have not changed since earlier this year when he said his faith and hope for peace had been shaken by the Communist coup in Czechoslovakia.
By Bibler
Mr. Truman, also gave his unqualified support to everything Secretary George C. Marshall said about Russia Wednesday. Mr. Marshall ruled out separate U. S.-Russian talks aimed at settling the "cold war," and called on Moscow to demonstrate its good faith by actions instead of words.
the atmosphere began to clear. Into war and a less tense world situa-
tion were blasted, to be sure. But those hopes were ill-founded from
the first.
Secretary Marshall, however, raised another ray of hope. He thought the incident provoked by the Soviet-American diplomatic exchange had not hurt chances of world peace; in fact, he though the incident may have helped those chances.
Mr. Marshall also was optimistic about the chances that the exchange, plus Soviet publication of it, might lead to Russian efforts to break some of the stalemates which have kept the two countries at loggerheads for so many months.
In Moscow today the back pages of all Soviet newspapers carried full factual reports from Washington, London, Paris and Warsaw on the reaction to the Russian announcement of the talks between U. S. Ambassador W. Bedell Smith and Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov.
WEATHER
