Eilllnr This Issue Friday, January 21, 1!)38 WE STILL THINK SO IN TODAY'S LETTERBOX, a student who appre ciates architecture, cries out against the proposal U> •rover Old Main’s barren walls .with colorful mural frescoes, claiming that murals would.add to its super ficiality. Old .Main is handled in well-planned Georg ian manner in keeping with the style which dominated this section in the Eighteenth century, and is hodge podge only in the way that all Georgian is a harmon ized mixing-together of classic styles. Undoubtedly the student is of an architecturally sen sitive nature and is a liltle afraid lo take a step which would add flavor to the flat taste of Old Main’s inter- Thu State of Missouri didn’t remodel its capitol building in Jefferson City, truly an architectural in congruity, in order to get the noted Thomas Benton willing to do his mural there last year. Dartmouth’s Baker library is similar in. style to o>d Main, but Jose C. Orozco’s murals have made it nationally famous, not for its superficiality, hut.for .its beauty. Such great American painters as Reginald Marsh, George 'Biddle, Rockwell Kent, Leon ICroll, H. V. Poor, and Bourdman Robinson are included among thoste painting murals in the- new government buildings in Washington, probably none of whom are worried ever the classic Roman style of the buildings. The new building program carries out the Georgian theme that the College follows, a suitable style for a college campus. If in so'many other cases murals have hecn successful, regardless of the style of the building, why can’t they he here?—A. G. M. TOWARD A GOAL THE NEWLY ANNOUNCE!) policy of the School of Liberal Arts, concerning the moot subject of class-cut ling is a move, of cooperation toward a goal that we hope some day to attain. The- announcement from the faculty of the L. A. school includes two specific assurances, the absence of which have bewildered and surprised students in that hflr.ol. Those policies say that no student will be flunked in a course for cuts alone, and that each in structor through his department will clearly define rules and requirements of attending class at the begin- ning -r. f each course. It is encouraging to note this cooperation by the L. A. school where, because of course diversity, the prob lem was most acute. But aside from this school and the School of Agriculture, not many of the other schools have, considered the proposal of a more liberal system very seriously. The Collegian hopes ihat the lead taken by the L. A. ?e1r..,! will he followed by oilier schools and Dial even tually Uie ice will be broken for a system of education where the responsibility lies upon student endeavor and initiative ami not upon the rout'ne attendance of daises. This lias been accomplished at inslilutions such as Princelo/i, Purdue, and Wellesley. MANAGER COMPLAINTS I’llE 'REGENT COMPLAINTS from managers seem to he based upon four counts—too much work, no di rect compensation, elimination of complimentary dance tickets, and small opportunity to pud the expense ac counts. The cry is that under present conditions man agerships soon will no longer he sought by students. That probably is a threat to gain some of the four objectives! Direct compensation is not plausible when wo do not pay the athlete,* as well. We cannot advocate padding expedse accounts. The other two points are debatable. The Collegian thinks that the Athletic Association should restore money to managers for the purpose of lipping and sending telegrams. There is no reason why the manager should lose money on the proposition, and tipping is common courtesy. If it is not done, the in stitution loses face. The Collegian wagers that admin istrative representatives of the College find themselves adequately cared for in the manner of tipping. Tele grams back to school promote interest in the teams. Rut the Collegian feels that the managers to show their sincerity should do a good bit of in their own ranks. There should lie less rumors of scan dal connected with the selection of managers or firsts. Before the managers should howl 100 loudly they should so some of the following: 1. Move to have firsts selected on one list in each sport. 2. Prohibit manager’s men from going out for the same sport. (This is no reflection on certain persons ih>s year.) .*l. Remedy conditions whore the name of a sport calls to mind the name of d fraternity house, and where the managership of one sport revolves among a small clique of fraternities by mutual understanding.

Letter Box j To the Editor: Without question . tin* most sigul eam movement in modern visual art is the renaissance of mural painting. | However, the proposal to decorate the I interior *or Old Mnis£ with • murais 'seems to me to he a useless gesture, ■and would only add to the already in- J<-nngninus npiwnrance of ihe biiildiiiß. i The - building -now represents one j or the greatest hodge-podge collections tof architecture,that. 1 have ever seen. 1 Willi the body of the building in a ’more or less French Renaissance' Jtnode, the portico ,in classic Greek. ,tho tower Roman,, and capped by:a ’Moorish dome, it/ constantly irritates. I The only external congruity found in • Old Main is that'the figures on the !clock' are .of* Roman design ami. go ! with the tower, but-that was acchlen'l tnl, 1 am sure. The one redeeming fen jture of the building is the relatively {simple treatment of the interior. Now •it is suggested that the last vestiges ’of good architectural design lie en tirely obliterated. 1 In the first place, putting murals in ; (Hr* building wouldn’t relieve its sup -1 eiliciality; on the contrary, it would • accentuate it. Those various types of 'architecture have been thrown togeth er with neither thought of the inner [.significance of Hie .architecture, nov jof the phase of eivilhation witli which .'the various fnrritk are associated. ! Architecture as an art lias been dead •for five centuries and has only re ; awakened in the last few years, but ; we sire certainly-not helping such a j movement by building conglomerates I of other forms, or by decorating those issime bastard outcrops of sterile de sign with murals. As for "humanizing" Old Main, chit tiering it would bo h better'term. Des i troy the calm peace of its interior, an • interior that is pleasant and deeply 'comfortable, and.stable. Furthermore, | any mural priinte.v sincere and non i commercialized, would refuse such a ■commission as ridiculous.- Rave the murals (pr a building which expresses our own civilization. Then the building and lhe- v nturals will be mutually in;harmopy. If murals must be had immediately/ put them on the great interior walls,• of• the powers house, the most unified building on our campus.
