Chisel Work
By Zorach
At Old Main
Originally carved in maple
wood the statue, Dahlov, now
done in bjronze, is on exhibition
in Old Main. The work was done
by William Zorach, noted sculp
tor. '
The statue exhibited in Old
Main dates from 1927 and is one
of an extended series of Zorach’s
work modelled on members of
his family. The girl, now Dahlov
Ipcar, is an artist also, who at
the age of 19, had a one-woman
show of her paintings in the Mu
seum of Modern Arts.
Whether working in wood or
in stone, Zorach’s method is that
of direct cutting in the material,
explained Dr. Harold E. Dickson,
‘professor of fine art at the Col
lege. ‘
‘‘His figure* are compact, the
contours simplified and basic de
sign relationships are deeply
felt,” Dr. Dickson said. “The
meditative repose inherent in his
forms has been likened to that
of ancient Greek and Egyptian
sculptures."
Zorach was bom in Lithuania
and came,to this country at age
.or four. He had his earliest art
training in the schools of Cleve
land, O. and was first active as
a lithographer and painter. He is
a brilliant water-colorist.
In the early twenties, Zorach,
now 63, emerged as a sculptor,
abandoning oil painting, and by
1931 was receiving honors such
as. the Logan medal and $l5OO
prize for sculpture awarded at
the Art institute of Chicago that
year.
Broken Line Fuses
Result In Blackout
The blackout Thursday night in
the area on west side of Garner
street from Beaver to Hamilton
avenue and the east side of Lo
cust lane from Foster to Hamilton
avenue, was caused by. two. blown
line fuses, according to John Hoy,
line foreman for the West Penn
Power company.
The blackout began about 7
p.m. and lasted until, 8:45 • p.m.
Mr. Hoy reported that' nothing
had been found which' might have
caused the fuses to blow but he
said he heard reports on an ex
plosion in the rear of one of the
fraternity houses. Foy said that
a check was made this morning
but nothing was found to verify
•the explosion report.

Cooperation-
(Continued from, page one)
program, he said, “I believe we
should consider how mature stu
dent leaders may best contribute
to our deliberations.”
The President asked the sup
port of his audience in carrying
out these plans. “I shall not initi
ate the procedures I have men
tioned without your concurrence
and cooperation,” he said.
President Eisenhower named
several other reasons for bringing
about the increased cooperation
that he asked for. Speaking of the
college’s basic purpose of aiding
the student, he said, “I am con
stantly amazed by the fact that
in many institutions of higher
learning the formalized methods
for making decisions and getting
action either ignore the student
or at best make only those ges
tures in his direction which are
sufficient to keep him from com
plaining.”
