Microphotographs Furnish inspiration For Designs
By ROSEMARY CASPER
Some may wonder at the artistic value of a house rat, a plant louse or a raw potato. But not the design students. The breathing pore of a mouse rat, a plant louse piercing a leaf, and the starch grains in a raw potato furnish sources of inspiration for designs through the medium of microphotographs.
These micrographographs are on exhibition in room 320 of Frank Strong hall, Miss Merjorie Whitney, acting head of the department of design said today. These photographs were made by Mr. V. P. Hollis, of the University of Minnesota's photographic laboratory, and the exhibition is circulated by the University gallery, of the University of Minnesota.
Mr. Hollis has been head of the Photographic laboratory for the past 12 years. He is known nationally as a photographer of importance, and he has taken many awards in past years. In the summer of 1940 he was invited to exhibit a group of his microphotographs at the New York World's Fair, where he received wide acclaim for the unusual techniques used, the wide variety of subject matter, and the brilliance of these photographs.
Microphotographs are nothing new in the field of science, where they
are of recognized value in research activity. However, in the field of art, their use is somewhat newer. Those displayed in room 320 are only those which show unusual design forms—design forms for the most part unfamiliar, and, of course, not visible to the naked eye. Material from the departments of zoology, entomology, home economics, bacteriology, geology, forestry, agriculture, and others at the University of Minnesota are represented in this exhibition.
Forty-five photographs comprise this collection, with materials ranging from cake batter to prehistoric pine.

Rev. R.C.Mackie On Campus Soon
The Rev. Robert C. Mackie, general secretary of the World's Student Christian Federation, will be on the campus Sunday to speak to students in connection with hte University's Christian emphasis week.
Mackie, who was caught for a month in France by the German
occupation in June. 1940, has a unique knowledge of the life of students throughout the world.
During the past two years he has traveled extensively in India, China and Japan, as well as in North America and in Europe, both before and after the outbreak of the war. This has given him an unusually rich background for interpreting the underlying issues of the present world situation.
In 1937-38, Mackie was chairman of the Chinese student relief campaign in Great Britain, and later, on his visit to China, was able to see personally the work of the relief committees in the reconstruction of university life which is taking place there.
Mackie's four visits to the United States since 1936 have given him an understanding of American students which enables him to interpret the central elements of the Christian faith in terms which students can grasp and which carry particular weight at the present time.
Christian emphasis week, Nov. 24 to 26, is being sponsored by the Student Christian Federation, which is composed of representatives from all religious organizations here.
