LAWRENCE KANSAS THURSDAY, MARCH 13. 1941.
Art Meet Opens Here Tomorrow
Of state-wide importance is the high school art conference which begins on Mt. Oread tomorrow. Almost as many schools are represented from Western Kansas as are from Lawrence's more immediate vicinity.
Dodge City, Scott City, and Hays mark the western boundary of the region from which exhibits and delegates have been received. Also represented in the conference will be Formosa, Newton, Wellington, Bonner Springs, Holton, Ft. Scott, St. Johns, Ottawa, Salina, Great Bend, Wichita North, Wichita East, Winfield, Concordia, Hutchinson, Lawrence, and Oread high school.
'High Quality Exhibits'
Exhibits from these high schools are now on display in the lobby of the Memorial Union building. "The exceeding high quality of these exhibits is really amazing," said Miss Marjorie Whitney, acting chairman of the department of design. "One not familiar with Kansas art would not believe it possible that these works are done by high school students."
Building plans for the University's new Military Science building have been completed and a tentative order issued to proceed with the work. C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds, said yesterday.
Faculty Demonstrations
Program for the two-day conference consists mainly of practical demonstrations of various phases of art work by the University fine arts faculty.
A sculpture demonstration and lecture by Bernard Frazier, instructor in sculpture, will be given in Spooner-Thayer museum from 11:10 a.m. to 12:10 p.m. Friday. Raymond Eastwood, professor of drawing and painting, will give an oil painting demonstration from 1:30-3:30 p.m. Friday in room 305 Frank Strong hall.
Other demonstrations Friday will be in screen printing, the color machine, sun machine, bookbinding, enameling, and various motion pictures.
Work to Proceed On R.O.T.C. Building
The screen printing will be demonstrated by William Whitney, director of Kansas WPA handcrafts, in room 314 Frank Strong hall. Color machine demonstration wil (continued to page eight)
Excavation work for the foundation of the Military Science building may get under way next week, and rock quarries in this locality will be surveyed to determine where to find the best quality stone at the lowest price.
Ten Apply For Frosh I-M Post
Ten applications for the vacant freshman position on the intramural athletic board have been received by Lee Huddleston, senior manager of the board.
Candidates will be notified of appointments for personal interviews by mail. Freshman applying are Jay Gunnels, Stephen Phelps, Irven Hayden, Howard B. Hull, Claude G. White, Murray McCune, Bill Walker, Tommy Adams, and W. C. Hartley.
German Refugee Speaks Here
Dr. Ernest Mannheim, German refugee, spoke on "Peace and War Today" at a meeting of the Sociology club this afternoon in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
Brother of Karl Mannheim, a famous sociologist in Germany, Dr. Mannheim came from Germany several years ago and is now teaching sociology at the University of Kansas City.
The discussion was followed by a tea, under the direction of Marjorie Machin, college senior. The Psychology club, history and political science departments were invited.
The entire meeting was arranged by the sociology club cabinet, which is composed of Ruth Yeomans, college senior, president; Russell Miller, college senior, program chairman; Wanda Joe Reade, college senior, secretary-treasurer; Patty Riggs, college junior; and George Dixon, college senior, publicity cochairmen.
WSGA Election Vote Runs High
Interest in the election of officers of the Women's Self-Governing Association ran high today as more than 390 women had cast their ballots by 2:30 this afternoon.
Predictions as to the outcome of the voting were inconsistent, being based more on the individual candidates than on the strength of the groups supporting them. The combines and organizations in women's politics are at most merely trading arrangements by various supporting groups, and never have any permanent strength after the day of election.
All women in the University are eligible to vote for the officers of the executive council, but otherwise they might vote only for their class officers and the representative from their school. Twelve officers are to be selected out of a slate of 25 candidates.
The ballots will be counted tonight, beginning immediately after the polls close, by the senior members of the present executive council of the W.S.G.A. Results will be available late tonight, and will be announced in tomorrow's Kansan.
Although there was a great deal of interest in the election, there have been no irregularities or violations of the election regulations reported.
The newly elected members will be installed in their positions on April 1, the council decided at its last meeting.
Bryan Sees Opportunity In Future South America
NUMBER 105.
Brazil as a land of opportunity for American youth was pictured by Julien Bryan, internationally known foreign correspondent and cameraman for the March of Time, in both his lecture last night in Hoch Auditorium and in a short interview yesterday afternoon.
Bryan declared that whether Germany or United States shall gain the cooperation and friendship of South America is a serious question. Said Bryan "Hilber will not invade the country with 2,000,000 men; the governments of these countries are so scared and teeter at the present time that if Hitler succeeds in overcoming England, they will literally wire him their cooperation and willingness to work with him." Bryan explained this statement by the fact that the Brazilians are much worse off than we are, in that the war has greatly reduced their markets and unemployment is high.
At present the Brazilians are exhibiting more friendliness toward the United States than ever before. But, as Mr. Bryan pointed out, the maintenance of this friendliness depends upon the American people. The Brazilians are scpeplical and they must be shown that the United States really means the good neighbor policy she has been advocating for the past eight years.
That the young people of the United States, the college students from such schools as the University, can play the most important part in assuring the Latin American countries of our friendship was stressed (continued to page eight)
Open With Skilton Tribute At University Symphony Concert
A tribute to Charles Sanford Skilton, who died yesterday after serving on the University fine arts faculty for 38 years, will be paid by the University Symphony Orchestra when it opens the "American Concert" with Skilton's own "Prelude to Electra" at 8:20 o'clock tonight. The remainder of the program consists of six numbers, the most "classical" of which is Dvorak's symphony in E minor, "From the New World." This number is especially well known because of its second movement, the Largo, which is known in transcription as "Goin' Home."
Lorenzo Fuller will sing the solo part of "De Glory Road" (Jaques Wolfe).
THE CARL TWINS ...Play Tonight
An old friend, "Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair" returns to be played by the Orchestra. Karl Kuersteiner, director, hastens to add that this arrangement, by Glenn Bacon, is definitely new and refreshing. Bacon says that perhaps Jeannie should be laid quietly away to rest, seeing as how the airways have been beating her so much of late.
Erna and Olga Carl, fine arts juniors, will play "Handel in the Strand" (Percy Grainger) on two solo pianos. Grainger describes this number as "a clog dance, to be played with or without clog dancing. . . fast and merry." This number is also of special interest because of Grainger's contract to serve here in the Mid-western Music Camp this summer.
"Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho," (traditional) will be sung by the K. (continued to page eight)
'Kansas Loses Fine Artist' --Swarthout
"For 38 years Doctor Skilton has served the University, first as dean of the School of Fine Arts and
"The University has lost one of its most distinguished faculty members and Kansas one of its most eminent musicians," D.M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts said this afternoon in speaking of the death of Charles Sanford Skilton, University faculty member for 38 years.
PROF. C.S. SKILTON
later as professor of organ and theory, with such distinguished effort as to make his work nationally recognized.
"Probably few men in any field have brought greater fame to the state than this scholar and musician.
"His place will be indeed difficult to fill and the honor and distinction he has brought the University will continue to be recognized for many years to come."
Funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon at the Episcopal church.
