Exhibit Pottery Made By 'Throwing'
Tea cups and coffee cups; bowls and saucers; pitchers for your breakfast flap-jack syrup; ash trays and just plain gadgets.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1941.
All are included in the exhibition of ceramics now being shown in the halls of West Frank Strong hall. These variegated works of pottery were made by Gladys Bate, acting instructor of design, while she was studying in Sweden two years ago.
ing in Sweden two years ago. Throwing, that ancient and modern process of moulding clay on a spinning wheel, was used in making the pieces. A lump of clay is placed on the wheel, knapped into a column, then reshaped into a lump, the process repeating itself as many times as is necessary to get the clay in pliable condition.
Intricate Manipulations
The moulder then sticks his thumb in the pie, bids the wheel to turn at 125 revolutions per minute, and hopes he has a bowl sitting there when the wheel stops.
Of course he must manipulate his thumb into the desired positions, and hold his fingers steady on the outside, so that the bowl will be sure to have sides as well as a bottom and a top. The general process is as described, however.
After the shaped bowl, tea pot. or gadget has dried for two weeks, it must be glazed. This process is complex if a single-color glaze is desired; super-complex if designs are wanted. One can't paint an un-fired glaze with water colors or oil. He must paint it with oxide paints—paints where pink makes blue and gray makes red. The oxides change colors when placed in the kiln, and oxide paint jars without labels can bothe the best-laid plans for design. Beautiful Design
The exhibit contains many skillfully designed pieces. A set of light-green tea cups have splishings of chocolate brown glazed into the cup brims. Saucers have blue, yellow and red flowers and geometric designs. Ash-tray and pencil-holding gadgets are glazed with pleasing combinations of blue and white.
The exhibit, open to the public, will remain on display for another week.
Drew Speaks On Current Novel Recent Poetry
Elizabeth Drew, well known English author and critic, spoke at Fraser theater yesterday afternoon on "The Contemporary Novel."

Small Number Call for Grades From Registrar
Comparatively few students have called for first semester grades, the registrar's office reported this morning. Those whose names begin with letters included between T and Z were to call today. All students may call for their grades Friday and Saturday.
The fact that many students left cards for their instructors to send out grades was given as the reason for the few calls at the registrar's office.

Many legends and fables have become associated with the man, some of them, no doubt, false. The most famous of these, however, is the one of Zilch and the proofreaders of the Bleat.
Subject of Many Legends
The great journalist, it seems, had an almost maniacal hatred of proof-readers and his favorite outdoor sport was to ride early in the cool of the morning and shoot several of the Bleat proofreaders before breakfast.
