J wo (hi fcxhibiiwnA
Morrill Hall is springing to life
this fall with two art shows, both
of great importance to the students
of this campus. One is the faculty
art show portraying Silk Screen
Prints and the other is a group
of paintings by Francis de Erdely,
an artist of international repute.
With tremendous realism Mr.
de Erdely has tried to capture
the horror of Nazi cruelty by his
superb paintings of refugees. In
black and white colors, the fig
ures depicted seem to cry out
their suffering in resounding over
tones that bounce off the sur
rounding walls like a scries of
distant echoes.
Background.
Most of these paintings have as
their backgrounds, concentration
camps. The distorted facial ex
pressions with realistic eyes have
a silent appeal that Is especially

Talks to YM,
YW Meeting
In his first speech before a
university' organization, Chancel
lor R. F. Gustavson told cabinet
members of the YWCA and
YMCA that they must develop
the courage to accept the prin
ciples that governed the life of
Christ.
Prejudices which influence our
religious beliefs, the increasing
possibilities of unknown factors
entering such problems were
pointed out as pitfalls in the at
tempt to determine a preconcep
tion of religion.
Decision Needed.
However Gustavson stressed
that the need of our time is for
men and women who do have a
definite idea of what they want
people to be like. College stu
dents, he explained, will not re
gret accepting this calllenge.
Chancellor Gustavson was in
troduced by Phil Fransdon, presi
dent of the YMCA. Shirley
Schnittker led the devotionals,
and Helen Laird was in charge
of the singing.

"Devastation." In this scene the
eyes of one old man seems to
stare at the skies in quiet prayer.
In a symbolic creation called
"Acropolis" an attempt to con
trast an ancient broken statue
with decimated body of a Greek
patriot is particularly effective.
Ingenious
Mr. De Erdely is not only in
genious in sadistic realms, but
convinces us of his all around
skill by creating a series of por
traits illustrating various life vo
cations and positions of the hu
man body. Such works as "Ship
yard Worker" and "The Fisher
man" are examples of this. A
must in this group of paintings
is one called "Autumn" which has
a symbolic medium. A few fallen
leaves next to a pair of worn
out farm Bhoes are in the fore
ground, while a farming scene
