In Sculpture Show:
'Pieces On Exhibit Aren't Recognizable, But Express Balance'
Your guess is as good as anyone's. That's the first impression you get. In the sculpture exhibit on the third floor of Frank Strong hall, and it's the opinion Mike Andrews, design instructor, hopes people will carry away with them.
The pieces on exhibit aren't supposed to represent anything recognizable. They are merely forms expressing balance.
"Most of the students in my classes do not intend to become sculptors. They are planning to become occupational therapists or to go into other fields of design. We feel that this problem gives them a chance to develop balance without being hampered by making their work represent any special form."
Mr. Andrews explained, "what we are doing is not to be confused with the modern trend in sculpturing. It's simply a problem of working a design out in three dimensions."
The pieces now on exhibit are by Robert Powell, junior; Debcolne Thornhill, freshman; Donald Humphrey, sophomore, and Joyce Shannon, senior. All are fine arts majors.
The process used by the students is comparatively simple. The original form is modeled out of native clay, and then a plaster of paris mold of the form is made. A layer of wax or soap is spread over the inside of the mold and wet plaster is poured into it. When the plaster is dry, the mold is chiseled off and the plaster of paris form remaining is given the desired finish.
A schedule of activities for the nine women invited from colleges and universities in Kansas and Missouri to attend the Sweetheart Swing on Feb. 5 has been announced.
Activities Planned For 'Typical Coeds'
A tour of the campus will come first. Then the guests and their hostesses, nine women chosen from University organized houses, will have luncheon with the Student Union Activities committee chairmen in the English room of the Union.
The afternoon will be spent by the "typical coeds" at the Lawrence Country club with their escorts, to be chosen this week in a "most dateable" male contest. They will have dinner at the houses of their respective hostesses before attending the Kansas-Nebraska basketball game.
The Sweetheart Swing,following the game,will be the final activity on the program.

COEDS' CORNER
Two years ago Phyllis had just received her American diploma, and Brazilian universities do not accept foreign diplomas for entrance. Then, too, Marilyn was born in Kansas and spent the first month of her life here.
Marilyn Rust, who has lived all but two years and three months of her life in Brazil, is now a typical K.U. freshman, busily fulfilling requirements in the College.
'Nothing Like Americans,' Says Marilyn Rust, From Brazil
in the College.
Marilyn and her sister, Phyllis, College sophomore, chose the University because they thought that in such a central location they would find the "backbone of Americans."
Blond, blue-eyed Marilyn studied her first three grades by the Calvert system under her mother's guidance. She continued her schooling from the fourth grade to the middle of her senior year at the Gynasio, an American-endowed high school which begins in the kindergarten. The school is based on the continental system of education—the first eight years being preparatory and the next five years being the high school proper.
This is Marilyn's second year at Lawrence; she was a senior at the University High school last year. Studying, in the Brazil schools, Marilyn assures, is much harder than it is here. She believes the "American students slide by in high school."
scholar.
The most exciting thing that happened to Marilyn and Phyllis this year was talking six minutes on Christmas eve to their parents in Brazil, from their aunt's home in Chicago. They are eagerly looking forward to spending their summer's vacation at their home in Sao Paulo.
Marilyn thinks the students here are more carefree and more independent, but she doesn't consider that as bad.
"I think it's a marvelous place," she said with enthusiasm, "nothing like the Americans—can't beat 'em"

Lutheran Club Plans
Valentine Day Dance
Plans for a semi-formal Valentine's day dance Feb. 14 in the Kansas room of the Union building were made at the Sunday meeting of the Lutheran club. Ned Linegar, Y.M.C.A. secretary, spoke to the group after the regular fellowship supper. The meeting was held at the Trinity Lutheran church.
Motorist Hits Back
Instant Service
San Jose, Calif. (UP)—A crude some-made bomb of gunpowder, paper and string was tossed into the police station tunnel under the City Hall, causing a large explosion, but little damage. A portion of a traffic citation receipt found among the fragments led police to believe it was the work of an angered motorist.
