Library Lithograph Exhibit
Gives Reality To Emotions
By ESTELLE SIMON
If one regards art and science
os the common denominators of
civilization, the exhibit of litho
graphs in the library would serve
to further that conviction. Emo
tions and reactions, uhiversally
experienced, are captured in
Works which convey an impres
sion of reality and concreteness.
To almost everyone existence
ihas at one time or another seemed
futile. This thought has been cap
tured in Luis Quintanilla’s “Paul
ette.”
Not pretty, Paulette looks like
a maid or lower-income-bracket
(housewife. She sits absentmind
edly peeling potatoes and staring
into space. She stares with a
blank, hopeless look as though all
that life held for her were count
less potatoes which must be
peeled.
■ On the other hand, “I Got a
Gal on Sourwood Mountain”
seems to announce that gaiety and
festivity are the order Of the
day. Couples dance spiritedly on
a rough-grained wood floor to
music provided by a lank bearded
fiddler. The swaying lantern and
active figures remove any possi
bility of a static scene.
Psychologists refer to memory
as an integral'‘part of the think
ing process. Memories may be
sad or happy. “Memories” by the
Spanish - born artist Frederico
Gastillon is the epitome of path
os. Mr. Castillon has been award
ed a Guggenheim fellowship.-

Moore, head of the College de
partment of education and psy
chology, at Freshman Women’s
Forum meeting in 304 Old Main,
7:30 p. m. Tuesday.
Dr. Moore received his bachelor

In this lithograph a woman and
man whose faces seem to have
been chiseled from stone fill the
foreground. The background sup
plies atmosphere with buildings
of Spanish-type architecture.
From the partially closed eyes of
the woman one seems to sense her
introspection. There is no look
ing forward to what will come;
her thoughts remain in the past.
Moments of complete peace oc
cur only occasionally in the twen
tieth century. Grant Wood cap
tures two such moments in ’’De
cember Afternoon” and “Jan
uary.”
The latter because of its sim
plicity is the more powerful litho
graph. Wind - blown snow covers
a row of teepees. The only thing
which mars the crust of the snow
is a set of footprints leading-to
one of the teepees.
A beak nosed old man, strongly
resembling an eagle, represents
the element of struggle in William
Gropper’s “The Opposition.” His
wrinkled neck, hollow chest, and
toothless mouth betray the fact
that while it may be a game bat
tle it will probably be a losing
one. Well-fed, disinterested com
petitors heighten this impression.
The old saw that only death
and taxes are certain, points up
the uncertainty of life. “Fog
Bound” seems to capture the
quality of insecurity. Shadowy

Thespian Bureau
Offers Showmen
Being confronted by endless re
quests for “night club” enter
tainment at the various dances,
canteens, etc., the Thespian Club,
in conjunction with the Mas
querettes, formed an entertain
ment bureau to fulfill these, and
any other calls for entertainment.
The bureau will act as a clear
ing-house for entertainers who
would desire to entertain at the
various functions on campus as
well as in the community.
The bureau will form enter
tainers into units or will send
individuals depending on the type
of entertainment requested.
In organizing the talent into
workable groups, it is urgent that
comedians, singers, musicians,
dancers, actors and actresses, as
well as technicians for lighting,-
make-up, costuming, scenery,
construction, etc., attend the
meeting to be held in Schwab au
ditorium Wednesday evening.
Plans are underway for the for
mation of dancing and singing
choruses, dance bands, etc., so it
is essential that those who sing,
play musical instruments, dance
—tap, ballroom, ballet, novelty—
should come to this meeting.
The committee requests that
those who are interested should
come prepared to demonstrate
their talents so that the bureau
can be more capable in fulfilling'
entertainment requests.
Entertainers interested in mak
ing their talents available for the
various entertainment functions
are requested to attend the first

Research Workers Develop Frozen
Milk Concenlrale For Army Supply
A process to make concentrated
frozen milk has been developed
by two dairy research workers at
the College, F. J. Doan and Jo
seph G. Leeder. Supply officers
in the armed forces have ex
pressed an interest in this product.
In evacuating sick and wounded
servicemen from foreign coun
tries, hospital ships may be
stocked with frozen evaporated
milk at American ports. Since it
is not perishable if it is stored
at low temperatures, ships will
have wholesome fluid milk, hard
ly distinguishable from fresh
milk, available for the duration
of the voyage.
The new frozen concentrated
milk may be manufactured in any
dairy plant that is equipped with
an evaporator, homogeniZer, and
ice cream freezer. The milk is
first evaporated, then frozen to a
mushy consistency. After packag

ing, it is frozen further at a tem
perature of ten degrees below
zero. .
In order to convert the frozen
milk to useable form,'it must first
be . defrosted by placing the Con
tainer in hot water. If an equal
amount of water is added, .the
fluid resembles coffee cream; If
twice as much water is added
the product is similar -to fresh
milk.
Under earlier manufacturing
processes an oily fluid resulted 1
when the milk was thawed;. It'
seems possible that milk may take,
its place among other frozen food
products in the future.
