The statue, which is on exhibition in the lobby of Old Main, a possible choice for the senior class gift. Lineman to Be Exhibited For Extended Period William Zorach’s 'granite statue, “The Lineman,” now displayed in the foyer of Old Main, will be on exhibit for an extended period at the College. Brought to the College by Pi Gamma Alpha, fine arts honorary, “The Lineman,” a figure of a football player, has been- suggested by the honorary as this year’s sen: including Scarab, architecture honorary, the student branch of the American Institute of Archi-. tecture,- arid the Art Education Forum, pledged to back the statue as the senior class gift. The price asked for the statue is very modest, Prof. H. E. Dick son, fine arts, has said. If a com parison i§ made with the Lion Shrine, for instance, he said, the relative ease of carving with lime stone as compared to grainte, 1940 prices as compared to those of 1953, and the great reputation of Zorach as a sculptor all point to the relative modesty of the price asked. The artist has asked $5OOO for the statue; the Lion Shrine cost the same. Zorach, one of the foremost of modern American sculptors, com pleted work for -the Post Office and Justice Buildings in Washing ton, and sculptured the alumi num statue, “Spirit of the Dance,” in Rockefeller Center^ Recently named to the National Institute of Arts and Letters, Zor ach also has paintings and sculp ture on exhibit in the Metropoli tan Museum, the Museum of Mod ern Art, and the Whitney, Phillips, and Berkshire Museums. “The Lineman” was one of his few works to be cast in plaster, since he was one of the first iii American sculpture to return to the old practice of carving directly from marble or, granite.

Werner, professor of Ameri can literature, told members of the Faculty Luncheon Club yes terday. \ “A common language will not automatically bring peace, but it can be a step toward peace,” Dr. Werner said. The first attempt at an inter national language. Dr. Werner said, was the use of an artificial language, Esperanto, an adjunct of Spanish and French. But, he added, not enough people will learn it on an international scale to make it a common language. 800 Basic Words The use. of simplified spelling, he said, was the first of three movements towards the spread of an international language. In. this method, he 'explained, ' spelling was made more phonetic by get ting rid of silent letters.

L U T s £ O'- \N G Players' Musical Schwab March 12,13,14 Attack of Measles Is Normal Glenn The mild attack of German measles at the College is not alarm ing and is normal for this time of year, Dr. Herbert R.' Glenn, Direc tor of the College Health Service, said yesterday. At present ten cases of the measles are confined to the Infirmary, five men and five women. This is a normal situation for the spring, Glenn said, and always can be found where large numbers are in contact with one another. He pointed out that, there is no way to tell if there will be an exces sive number of such cases., The cases were probably trans mitted from the town or Wind crest areas, Glenn said, where the disease has been prevalent. Bor ough Red Cross officials also said that the situation in the town and, Winderest areas is normal for this time of year. No major outbreak had been reported to that office; they said. - - Glenn said symptoms of the German measles are headache, eye strain caused by light, and a rapid outbreak of red about the body. The condition usually lasts for only 48 hours, he said, and persons, who have once contacted the disease are not likely to get it again. , The large number of cases of the grippe or influenza on cam pus, Glenn said, has subsided to average. About four of five pa tients are admitted daily with disease in the upper respiratory tract. Visiting hours which were under three-week suspension be cause of the large number of such cases, confined there were restored last week. Glenn will meet Wednesday with a group of students and the Senate committee on health to discuss and answer the ten ques tions on expansion of College health facilities which were sub mitted by All-College Cabinet.
