The exhibit caters both to the
experts and to those who know
nothing about art but do know
what they like. In the two gal

colorful, various, and satisfying
pictures ever shown. One of the
favorites was Peter Hurd's "Wind

color and sharp lift. Another

Students Favor Tribute
To Departing ERC Men
In response to the editorial ap
pcaring in Sunday's issue of the
Daily, the suggestion of honoring
the many who are leaving, with
some sort of rally or all school
dance was presented to various in
dividuals, on and about the camp
us, to obtain their criticism or
comment.
The reply was favorable in most
cases; each individual Justifying
this statement, being desirous of
showing appreciation to those
leaving for the service, and to
leave within them pleasant memo
ries of their college life, as they
leave the campus probably for the
last time. Following practices of
other schools, in which the ERC
has already been activated, torch
light rallies followed by all school
dances or an all student convoca
tion where departing students
could hear speeches, seemed the
most popular.
Project Should Be Organized.
Mixed emotions and comments
were prevalent as to what
extent the celebration should be
carried. AH agreed that the proj
ect should be organized and di
rected by one or more of the
campus extra-curiicular organiza
tions, such as Corn Cobs, War
Council, or the Innocents society,
as was cited in the editorial.
Herewith, upon the request of
the reporter, are printed several
opinions as voiced by students of
the university. Polly Parmele,
