Dickson Is Author
Dr. Harold E. Dickson, profes
sor of fine arts who prepared the
exhibition catalogue, is the au
thor of the introduction, which
presents a concise history of
painting in Pennsylvania. The
catalogue offers a critical analy
sis of each of the 48 paintings in
the exhibition.
‘•The conceptive idea of this
exhibition was to highlight some
of the main figures and trends
in the development of painting in
this State,” writes Dr. Dickson
in his introduction. ‘‘Living ar
tists were to be excluded, and
each of 46 selected painters of
the past was to be represented by
one outstanding and fully charac
teristic painting—two in the cases
Phi Mu reported the violations
and signed the complaint given
to the judicial committee. The
specific violations are:
1. An invitation to a rushing
event was issued to a girl and
answered by means other than
the Panhellenic post office.
2. Contact was made between
an affiliated member and a rushee
at a time other than a regular
event, and not made through the
Panhellenic post office or through
the Panhellenic rushing chair
man.
3. The semi-strict silent period
effective from the time of open
houses until the time of ribbon
ing was violated.
Verbal Invitation
These violations occurred when
a verba] invitation to a rushee for
a coffee hour was issued by a
sorority member rather than
through the Panhellenic post of
fice.
The Panhellenic rushing code
specifies that all rushing code
violations be dealt with by the
judicial committee comprised of
the officers of council, a repre
sentative from the dean’s office,
a stray Greek (a sorority member
whose sorority has no chapter at
the University), and the Panhel
lenic rushing chairman.
The judicial committee has the
right to interpret the intent of
any sorority' in regard to any
violation of. the rushing code.
The procedure for reporting a
violation requires that two copies
of the complaint be given to the
committee by the sorority report
ing the violation. One is signed
and kept by the committee. The
other is unsigned and given to
the accused group. The accused
group is given a chance to pre
sent its case before the commit
tee. The committee, then investi
gates both sides and hands down
its decision.

Paintings to be Reproduced
“All of these paintings then
were to be reproduced in an ex
hibition catalogue with the hope
that it might prove generally
useful afterward as a concise
treatise on this aspect of the cul
tural history of Pennsylvania.
"The term Pennsylvania paint
er has been liberally applied to
artists, some of whom were na
tive sons, others, as it were,
adopted, but all artistically rooted
in the region,” Dr. Dickson con
tinues. “Preference naturally; has
gone to those with a certain
standing in the annals of Ameri
can art, but in representing inter
esting work throughout the State,
a number of lesser figures, some
of them rarely- seen in exhibitions,
have been introduced.”

Humanities
Room Open
In Library
An open-shelf humanities room
has been added to the Pattee Li
brary, Ralph McComb, Univer
sity librarian, said yesterday.
While not yet complete, this new
division, located in room 105, is
now open for use by undergrad
uate and graduate students, as
well as faculty members. Stu
dents in all colleges may use the
room, but students enrolled in
the humanities are expected to
benefit most by its addition.
Construction on the room be
gan last summer. Volumes con
cerning languages, literature, the
arts, tne classics, and references
are still being tooved in. McComb
stated that the books are not new,
but are being moved from closed
stacks to open shelves. In this
way they will be more readily
available for use by University
students, enabling them to broad
en their cultural background.
Miss Mildred Treworgy, special
reading room librarian, is in
charge of the room.
Library officials emphasize the
fact that extension and continu
ance of this open-shelf service de
pends entirely upon, the students
themselves. Many books are sin
gle copies and virtually irre
placable; loss of these volumes
will result in further controls and
restrictions on the use of. the
shelves.
“If a book disappears,” said
McComb, "the library is not the
one that loses; the student body
itself is cheated. Even if a book
is replaced, the new copy will, not
arrive for several .weeks —too late
to be of -use" to the student who
requested it.” He further added
that this is the policy behind the
new registration system,' put into
force by the library at the begin
ning of this semester, to control
use of the library stacks.
Centennial Envelopes

“Last week customs were a lot
of fun," one violator explained
before the Board, “but how Hie
spirit's dying down. If the upper
classmen-don't enforce the rules,
the freshmen get tired of it.” An
other added that, “the period of
customs should be cut to one
week.”
“The Customs Board urges the
upperclassmen to. unite groups of
frosh in songs and cheers,” Black
said. “This motivates school
spirit, not: only in those who par
ticipate’ but also in those who
listen.”
Three violators last night said
that their dinks had been stolen.
They were given exemption cards
if they didn’t want to buy an
other.
Essay Assigned
The Board assigned 10 violators
to write 300-word essays on the
“Value of Customs at - Penn

sandwich board sign Were the
