DEAN LEONARD AXE
Axe Returns From Italy
Dean Leonard H. Axe, the School of Business, returned to the campus last Thursday after attending the International Conference on Business Management Education held in Turin, Italy, from September 6 to September 10.
Dean Axe was a representative of the International Cooperation Administration and was the adviser in the formation of an organization in Europe similar to the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business. He is vice president of the American association.
"The conference was devoted to what subjects should be included in a full program of business administration and management studies," Dean Axe said. "This covers the university and under graduate level, the middle-management training level and the top-management training level."
"The conference was organized and conducted by the European Productivity Agency," Dean Axe added, "which is composed of 17 European countries, with United States and Canada as associate members."
The purpose of the agency is to promote the advancement of management education, the spread of the latest technical skills and management techniques and, generally, to facilitate an exchange of information in association with management and trade unions, Dean Axe explained.
Educational Films To Be Shown
"Blind as a Bat," "Animals of Africa" and "The Pipevine Swallowtail Butterfly" are the three films to be shown at 4 p.m. Wednesday in Bailey Hall as part of the weekly educational series of the Bureau of Visual Aids.
These films are picked to represent different interests. Biology is represented this week.
"Blind as a Bat" describes the bat's behavior in nature and in the laboratory.

"WHAT is that?"
Pierce To Speak At Smoker
"Why, George," she said, "this is modern art. Don't you think it's fortunate that the Student Union arranged this American Federation of Arts exhibit?"
(By JIM TICE)
The nickname for Dartmouth College athletic teams is "Indians" derived from the fact that the school was chartered in 1769 as a charity school for the Indians.
"Fortunate for whom—the guys who committed it!" snorted George. "I believe you don't appreciate modern art."
He grunted.
"Well, if you don't, it's simply because you don't understand it." "What's there to understand? Anyhow, if you have to understand something to like it—it must be no good."
"You can learn to like it—anyway, that's what you say about beer." "I'll take beer," he said.
"No, let's take this painting here in the corner . . . George? George, what are you laughing at?"
"Listen to this title—'Sleeping Effort.'"
"Stop it George, people are staring at you. All right then, what does it look like to you?"
People Stare
"A Korean fish market."
"Why, George, maybe you do have feeling for it. Why is it like a Korean fish market?" "it's cute!" he chorted.
"It smells!" he chortled.
"It doesn't at all," she sniffed. "I think it shows real feeling. It stirs the emotions and makes the imagination work. Look at the Sancho at the lower left peeking out from under his quilted blanket."
“Aw, I was just kidding you. I really sort of go for some of this

"Or the inside of a piano," she said.
"I like that one back there called 'Black Campanile.'"
One Has Depth
"Why do you like it?"
"Because blue's my favorite color and it's all blue. It looks like an airport at night, doesn't it? Here's one over here called "Mardi Gras" by Jonah Kingstein. It has depth, but don't get too close or it loses it."
"The lighting's pretty bad in here for exhibiting paintings," she said.
"But this one's the best in the exhibit." he said.
“‘Across the River’ by Boris Margo, raised plated metal,” she read. “You're right, it is good.”
"You mean we finally found something we completely agree on?"
