By Marjorie Bruning.
Dr. Paul Popenoe, director of
the Institute of Family Relations
of Los Angeles and expert on life
problems, addressed a Union au
dience Sunday afternoon on the
subject, "How Do You Know It's
love?"
"Love," said Dr. Popenoe,
"means nothing from a scientific
point of view. It meaiu something
different to different people and
ages." The five periods in people's
lives which he listed as times when
love means various thing i are, in
fancy, childhood, age of soclaliza
Hon, adolescence, and maturity.
It com i from movies.
According to Topenoe, the gen
eral concepts of love today are de
rived from the movies, radio, and
magazines. College graduates, he
said, are usually most concerned
with falling in love, as the average
age for marriage is 22 for women

Mattern says
painters rare
Kansas U artist speaks
at association meeting
"Good painter are as rare as
good beef stews." said Karl Mat
tern, well known midwestern artist
and member of the faculty at the
University of Kansas, in his ad
dress to the Nebraska Art associ
ation Sunday afternoon. Mattern
stressed the idea that all people
cannot like the same type of paint
ing and carried his simile farther
by saying that the same stew
Joesn't please everyone. A person
should not feel inferior if he doeo
not appreciate all lirst rate pic
tures. Individual style.
Speaking of the artist! Mattern
said, "don't expect a mild and meek
individual to paint pictures to score
people or vice-versa." Each artist
has an individual style which he
should develop. A man who paints
still life is quite different from
one who paints action portraits
and landscapes. Mattcrn's particu
lar aversion is the critic who sees'
things in pictures which the artist
has not put there.
German born, Mattern came to
this country at the age of 14 and
a few years later studied at the
Chicago Art institute under George
Bellows. "Hot Spot," one of Mat
tern's paintings which is on dis
play at the exhibit, is a composite
of all the places which he has seen
along the road thruout the United
States.
