Dress Policy
For N. Halls
In order to be admitted to
Warnock Dining Hall, from
now on, residents of the North
Halls area must be dressed
neatly and presentably, Wayne
Ulsh, president of North Halls
Council, said Monday night at a
council meeting.
The Dress Code, which stated
rules for dining hall dress and the
enforcement of them was made
up by the council. At a popular
election the men of the area voted
to do away with this code, main
ly because of a clause banning
dungarees at all meals.
Dining hall dress will now be
according to the rules stated in
the pamphlet distributed by the
Dean of Men's Office, "Guide to
Residence Hall Living."
According to this publication,
dress must be neat and present
able. Dungarees may be worn to
meals except, on Sundays. Coats
and ties are requested, but not
required, for Sunday noon meals.
The Dean of. Men's office will
enforce these rules.
It was rumored that the council
had met Saturday to discuss the
Dress Code further, but this ru
mor is false, Ulsh said.
In other business, Ulsh an
nounced that new officers will be
elected by council members at
the next meeting, April 24.
Petitions for those who are run
ning for office should be turned
in to Ulsh by April 20 with at
least 50 valid signatures on them.

PARODY
Early
Spirit
Post-Revolutionary art re
flects the spirit of its period,
Dr. Harold Dickson, professor
of the history of art and archi
tecture, said at the Liberal
Arts Lecture Series last night.
By this statement, Dickson was
illustrating a thesis,, that in the
period after the Revolutionary
War, from the time of George
Washington to Andrew Jackson
American art was unusually sensi
tive and responsive to the times.
Neither before nor after this
period was art so atuned to what
was happening politically and
socially.

This new art dealt with history
in the making, continued Dickson,
and it found a fertile field in the
United States. The formulation
of political parties launched art
on a basic theme. With the use
of the ballot becoming more wide
spread, paintings began to depict
the growing interest of the peo
ple in politics, Dickson said.
Before 1800, he continued,
portrait painting was so. popu
lar, that there existed what
could he called "a population
explosion of portraiture.". Pain
ters concentrated their efforts on
statesmen, with Washington
"running like a theme song"
throughout the era.
Changes in the painters' themes
coincided with changes in Ameri
ca herself. These men have left
us with a clear picture of what
America was like. almost two
centuries ago plus a conception
of the pride imbued in the people
in their newly founded nation,
Dickson concluded.
