Well Equipped HikersHad Exciting

DescentThe Maine Outing Club took its place

with the leading college outing clubs in

the East this year, by sending a well

equipped group to climb Mount Washing-

ton.

Led by Bob Ohler, "Pack and Pine"

member, the party used the A.M.C. hutsat Pinkham Notch for the first night'sshelter. The next morning they startedthe trek up. packing food for two daysand camping duffle.

The first part of the trip, up the OldJackson Road to the Carriage Road. was,probably, the hardest part of the climb.After the Carriage Road was reached thegoing was comparatively easy. Fortu-nately, a better or clearer day could nothave been asked for. The surrounding,snow-covered peaks. Wildcat, Madison,the Adams', etc., with the snow shiningon them were a sight that cannot beequaled. After passing the IlalfwayHouse, where lunch was eaten, placesblown clear by the wind alternated withdrifts five to 20 feet deep.

At the top the party used Camden Cot-tage for shelter and had the unusual ex-perience cef melting "snow feathers" forwater. The men at the observatory ontop were very hospitable and explainedthe use of many of the instruments theyuse for taking observations. During thenight a blizzard developed which provid-ed a rather exciting descent.

It is hoped the Outing Club will makea practice of climbing a major New Eng-land peak every winter.

• Article Deals with Abnormal

Eyesight of CollegeStudent

Dr. D. M. Purdy, assistant professorthe department of psychidogy in the College of Arts and Sciences of the Univer-sity of Maine, had an article in the lastissue of The Journal of General Psyehol-ogy, on "Deathly" Moue ecular Diplopia."

The article deals with the case of acollege student having a rare peculiarity

of vision, involving an abnormal relation-ship between the eyes and the brain. In

the normal process of vision, nerve im-pulses travel from each point in the retina

(the sensitive net:ye-layer at the back of

the eye) to one place in the visual center

of the brain.

In the case of the subject studied byDr. Purdy. each point of the retina sendsimpulses to two places in the brain. This

means that the student has double vision

in each eye. a condition that developed in

early life, by reason of a defect in the

muscular cooperation of the two eyes.

According to Dr. Purdy the study of

such cases helps t inc tea 'e "Ur under-

Project

By Ruth GoodwinCanipas Staff Retorter

Representative works of 18 modern ar-tists have been on exhibition at the read-ing room of the M.C.A. building fromSunday, January 6, to Wednesday, Jan-uary 9, under the auspices of the Pan-hellenic Council.

Pictures were chosen that would tracebriefly the development of Impressionism,from Mallet, its originator, threetigh thetempering effects of Renoir and Seurat,touching the work of Cezaime which laidthe foundations for Post-Impressionism.to abstractions of natural forms paintedby the cubist school.

Manet, the first of the Impressionists,was represented by "The Boat."

Monet was a leader in a group fol-lowing Mallet, that was much concernedwith the representatiiin of outdoor illumi-nation, light and shadow, and the repro-duction of nature rather than the creationof design. "Argenteuil" pictures brightdaylight on a scene of water, boats, build-ings, and sky. "Doges Palace" is a pic-ture of light coming from a building andshining on water, executed in dabs ofcolor.

Typically impressionistic is "Canal ofLoring." by Sisley, with its delicate colorand softened contours.Degas aspired to catch nature and

people as if in a snapshot, capturing mo-tion and light. "The Dancer," poisedfor a moment, is characteristic of Degas,for tie painted many pictures of this type.In "Jockeys in Training" Degas repre-sented movement through line, arrangingrace horses and their riders against aAckground.RCI1Oir SI night to temper Impressiimisni

Mid his pictures shi.w a more delicatebrushwork, more clarity, and richness ofcolor. "Le Moulin de la Galette" por-trays niiddle-class people enjoying them-selves and is beautiful for its flowing lineand color and representation I if manyfigures. "Ile eucluet of Flowers" is exe-cuted in glowing colors.

Seurat, seeking to restore to art classi-cal form, developed the technique of thePointillists, who applied paint in tinyclots, rather than in the Impressiemistdabs and splotches, lie reduced paintingto a science, experimenting endlesslywith color. "Models" is an interestingexample of his art. Incorporated in it ispart of another Seurat {tainting, "LaGrande Jatte," and the arrangement ofthe figures shows the artist's care.Another example of Pointillism is

Cross's "Sail Boats," that on close ex-amination looks like a heap of confetti,being painted in larger dots than thoseof Seurat, but fre cm a distance the dotsform sail Is cats on moving waves.Four pictures by Van Gogh were

shown. N'an Gogh adapted form, color,and brush strokes to suit his violent emo-tional needs, and there results an unusual.liquid technique. The vigorous swirlingstrokes of "Cypresses" produce a fresh,rugged effect, while the earthy peasantsof "Return from the Field," in subdued,tapestry-like tones, are restful."Arearea," with figures and color used

to form a pattern, is typical of Gauguin'sTahitian paintings. Gauguin began as anImpressionist, but forsook the dabs awlbits of pigment for bold application ofvivid colors, always concentrating on dec-orative quality.Cezanne laid the foundations for Post-

By Martin Scrivener

Irithin the Gates. a play in four actsby Sean O'Casey, is now- finishing a long.thinigh I suspect, rather unprofitable, runin New York. and it would seem to be arather important play for review.

1 think we ought to consider that SeanO'Casey has just begun to be educated.The habits of hi. mind were fornied longagli. His seInoiling, I believe. ended inthe elementary grades, and just now whenhe happens to read something which isin any sense his knees go outfrom under him and lie goes skiddingabout writing things like Within Hu-t:arcs.

In the first place, the play cnncerns apark in four seasinis. in which twist ofthe characters are symbolic--of fertility.tilt- young primstititte; if decayed England.the Mother. etc. What I have to criti-cize is the fact that the symbols do notremain constant. At one moment. theowither is the spirit of Old England; atthe next. she is the typical society nag-ger. The Bishop is at idle time the Stt-perficial t-liiirtht at the' next, the kindand actually !limiest church.

Which are we to take, O'Casey?We ri(o it i sit you would gim 'iii one stand-ard, either gibl or silver, so that wecuiuld do business with you.

There seems to be a similarity betweenthe characters iii Cmiale's paragraph andthose in Mn. ()'Casey's play. For in-stance. the children's nurses of whichso mush is made in the drama, are men-tinned (nur times in the paragraph. Theii itsii- and mut s, in their chorus. Are "greyall over." The attendants who trini theflowers are "ageless and sexless...and1.4,11le t.i sweep the path and water thegrass, and change the flowers" just asthey are in sGide. The hand plays as itdoe. in tiiile.

CHEMSTRY PROF. INARCHEOLOGY ADDRESS

1V;Iliam I . assistant profes-sor of chemistry, spoke before a meetingof the Bangor Historical Society in Ban-gor Tuesday eseninu. Jan. 1, in the pub-lic library on Egyptian Archeology. Prof.Gilliland's informal talk was based an thespeaker's experiences in excavations ofEgyptian depositories and in nmseum re-search) work. At the invitation of thosepreW1,t at the meeting Prof. Gilliland willR I% e a in;•re extensis-e talk on the subject:it the February meeting of the society.

...,41 the last in the volume, where he says

TI-IE BOOKWORM , "Leave your gardens, your singing feasts,Your dreams of suns circling before our

sun,

Of heaven after our world."

And he speaks for this-

"No man

Shall hunger; Man shall spend equally."Max Eastman's An and the Life of

Action is something quite different. WhenI reached for this I said to myself, "Nowhere is the chance to find out whetherart and the life of action can be recon-ciled. Eastman has been writing rathersane criticism for the past few years, andwhat he has to say should be worth con-sidering." But as much as I dislike to,for Eastman is an old favorite of mine, Imust admit that there is not much hereto help the struggling young literatithnaigh the 'world chaos.' Eastman re-plays his old theme, made so familiar in"The Literary Mind" and "Artists inUniform." He tells us again that it isthe mission cmf the artist to give us aheightened consciousness of life and qual-ity of experience, and that he achievesthis through arresting action. But as towhat, exactly the relation of the artistto the life of action shall be, Eastmanleaves us up in the air.

It might be appropriate to mention herethat another of the arts is to be givenfuller expression. In order that thismusical oasis be at least dropped withdew a series of concerts of recordedmusic will be played in 17 North Stevens.The concerts will be held at any timethe group meeting chooses, and they areto consist of requests from the group.Faculty, students. and friends are en-couraged to come.

The Bookworm is pleased to emhark

on the New Year's journey by getting

right up on the f,r-ard deck and looking

as far ahead as possible. And in doingso, two works. both characterized by a

inialern outlook, claim his attention. One

of these. 11,4711,f. by Stephen Spender,the work of an artist, and the other, Art,o,d the Life of Action, by Max Eastnian,is the work of a critic of artists and thefield of letters (which does riot mean toimply that Mr. Eastman is not an artist,for his translations from the Russianand his own poems are rather well known.

Both of these writers are united oncommon ground, being interested in con-temporary scenes and events in the fieldsof vilifies and government. They areoccupied with the things which youngmen are seeking. Today, it seems to beaccepted that the piling man is intenselyinterested in politics and sociology andeconomics. But much more than this,where the "Lost Generation" after thewar were thinking, and running to thenearest Greenwich Village to hide inBohemianism. the college generation atthe present time is making its presencefelt politically while in schisil, and isgoing out to make careers in nationaland state politics.

And that is where Spender enters. ,Ile opens still further the field of poetryto those who feel that art can lin& atand discuss cimeval political, national. andinternational affairs. He speaks to us idthe Reichstag fire, of hyper-nationalism,the League of Nations. But there is notspace here to enter into any detailedcriticism of Spender. I present here onlyan argument for him based upon the ideashe expresses in such poems as "Van derLubbe" and Numbers "26," "29," "38,"

Our local STRAND offers some excel-lent entertainment as shown by their pro-gram. Manager A. I.. Goldsmith hasselected some of the year's best pruduc-

tions all of which will be shown in Orno during the month of January. Theprogram offered for the week of Jan. 14.includes some of the pictures thatbeen chosen among the best 10 of theyear.

"THE GAY DIVORCEE", "COL-LEGE RHYTHM." "LADY B yCHOICE." and "ANNE OF GREENGABLES" are the pictures that will bepresented during the week. After allOrono being a small community. thestudent body and faculty members shouldfeel grateful to know that right here iiiOrono they are able to see every picturethat is being shown in the metropolitancenters of the %amid. The Strand Thea-tre under Mr. Goldsmith's managementsince it was built nearly fourteen year.ago, has rightfully earned an enviableposition in the theatre circles of NewEngland for during these years everyworthwhile picture that has been pro-duced has been shown here.

Mr. Goldsmith feels that a theatre isan absolute necessity in every communityand the citizens should regard the theatreas their own property and make continualdemands for better pictures. Public opin-ion on any matter has become a verystrong factor.

When asked about BLOC-BOOKINGor BUYING, Mr. Goldsmith stated thatthis system can be broken only when themovie-going people of the country de-mand through their representatives thatproper legislation be enacted to break upthis system of selling their product oneyear before being produced.

That the ideals and resourcesof these seven were not dreamlike stuffis obvious when the influence of the pres-ent organization in the fraternity worldand the prominence of its alumni are con-sidered.

A reporter for a metropolitan daily asked a num-ber of persons on the street, "What is the biggest buyfor a nickel?" Two-thirds promptly replied, "A tele-phone call."

Even though the old year is rapidly

sinking into that dim and hazy thing

called the past. one cannOt help but stop

for a brief moment before turning around

to face the new year to think about our

athletic successes of the old year. Rely-

ing on a rusty memory the successes

might be summarized as a successful

track campaign with emphasis upon the

relay quartet which defeated some of the

hest opposition in the country. Excellent

freshman track and baseball seasons, one

loss only being chalked up against the

pastimers. while the varsity was only

able to finish second in the state flag

chase. Vhen school reopened last fall

the football teams and cross country out-

fits began training grinds to capture state

titles, while the cross country team won

the New England crown and finished

second in the run for national honors.

once again with a big grin and nestle

tentment on his battered face.• • * • • •

To the writer the best exhibition of

athletic prowess the past year on this

campus was the one hit affair which

"Muggsy Kelley" of Kents Hill pitched

against Bill Kenyon's frosh nine for the

yearling's only loss. Kelley pitched a

masterful game and w,iuld have had a no

hitter except for the fast that his center-

fielder was sound asleep and all,

what should have been an easy putout to

go for a luime run. Incidentally, after

scluud closed the slim lefthander went

to Massachusetts and played in the Cape

Cod League, a league whose players are

chiefly college men. 'Muggs' hung up

the fine record of 7 will S and 1 loss be-

fore he split a finger in a game and was

forced to take a layoff.

Panhellenic Council SponsorsExhibition of Modern Painters

(Continued from Page One)

after the Impressionist tendency toward

light and obscured form.

The "Church." by Feininger, is com-

posed of cubistic forms conceived from

the angles and lines of a church. The

repetition of lines and colors causes the

forms to dissolve into each other.

"Conquest of the Air" by Fresnage is

also cubistic, hut the figures are not

changed beyond recognition. Klee, the

painter of "Garden" is one of the founders

of Sur-Realism. which tries to express

in art the world 14 fantasy.

This exhibit of modern art was se-

cured from the American Federation of

Art by the Pan-Hellenic Council with the

cisperation of Ikan Edith Wilson. The

conunittee includes Margaret Hall. Hope

Wing, Lucinda Ripley, Cynthia Wasgatt.

Ruth Goodwin. The sororities on cam-

THE MAINE CAMPUS

WINTER SPORTS MEN EXTENSIVE SCHEDULEPLANNED FOR NETMEN

FACE BIG SCHEDULELack of Snow Halts. Practice Drills

TemporarilyThe rapid melting of the snow called a

temporary halt to the training sessions of

the Winter Sports team for what shapes

up to be the best schedule of many years

if several of the impending negotiations

go through. Veterans from last year's

outfit include Samuel Favor, Carl Sawyer,

Robert Laverty, Donald Green, a veteran

from two years ago, and Philip Bower in

the skiing events, while Alton Prince.

Robert Ohler, Shirley Parsons, Glendon

Soule, and Darrell Badger will carry on

in the snowshoe dashes and long runs.

Negotiations are under way to arrange

meets with the University of New Hamp-

shire and Amherst, the dates and scenes

of the meets hanging in the fire as yet. A

six man team, to be selected at a later

date, is to be entered in the annual Lake

Placid meet which takes place next month

at Lake Placid, N. Y. Bates will not sup-

port a snowbird outfit this winter, so the

annual clash between Maine and Bates

for the state title will not be held.

Don Green, stellar ski jumper, will turn

his attention to the new jump as soon as

the weather behaves again, as will Sam

Favor and Phil Bower. 1.averty. Bower,

Green, Sawyer, and Favor are all stand-

bys in the down hill ski and long distance

skiing events.

Al Prince scored Maine's sole two points

in the Lake Placid meet a year ago andhas been a dependable performer in the

long distance snowshoe grinds for the past

two years. Bob Older, a letterman in

cross country this fall, also performed

creditably in the long grinds on snowshoes

last year and will add strength to this part

of the squad.

Shirley Parsons, Darrell Badger. and

Glen Soule return to the fold for another

year at the snowshoe dashes in which

Badger and Parsons were consistent point

winners last year. There are several

freshman performers reporting but their

abilities are comparatively unknown at

present. This is one of the few University

supported teams which allows freshmen

to compete. Minor letters in the form of

a "w M s" are awarded to place winners.

An intensive schedule is being un-dertaken by the Varsity and JuniorVarsity tennis squads next spring.The schedules to date are as fol-lows:
