SAX

IS

INSTRUCTOR

A course in art appreciation for
journalists' will be started the beginning ef ' $ext semester, according to
an awwBcement from the journalism
department. Professor Carl Sax will
conduct the class, according to' the
announcement.
This is the first time a course of
this type has been conducted for journalism students. It will be a three
hour course and the probable time,
according to Professor Sax, will be
the second hour on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
The course will include the subjects
of criticism of plays, appreciation of
settings, appreciation of music, design paintings, and architecture, according to Professor Sax, who further
states that the course does not pretend to develop art critics in one semester but is merely an introduction
to the field and intends to give familiarity and scope with the subject.
The course is intended and designed
to point the way out of certain difficulties that beset the path of young
journalists who are obliged to report
art exhibitions or give dramatic criticism, according to Professor Grehan
of the journalism department.
It is very frequently the case that
graduates from the journalism department can secure more advantageous positions if they are equipped to
report art exhibitions, dramas, concerts, and other art events that are
becoming an increasing part of American community life. This is especially true in moderate sized cities where
specialists are a luxury, according to
Professor Sax. Mr. Sax, also states
that many of ourjeading critics have
obtained their prominent metropolitan

Honor System for All
Classes Is Advocated
Omicron Delta Kappa Takes
Steps To Inaugurate This
Movement Here
Nu Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa,
national honorary campus leaders fraternity of the university, decided at its
last meeting to advocate the introduction of the student honor system in
all departments of the university.
Declaring that such a movement
must come from within the student
body, definite plans were made to
bring the idea before the students,
according to Charles Heidrick, president of the fraternity.
If the honor system is to be installed at the University of Kentucky
the students themselves must request
that it be tried again. The honor
system was installed at the university
several years ago. The trial given
did not prove very satisfactory as
there were many students who did
not vote for the issue and did not
support it.
Students of the university who are
interested in the movement should
support the plan of installing the honor system in case of a vote.

The Carnegie Corporation of New
York has just announced 20 colleges
to which their celebrated art collections are to be sent, and of this num
ber the University of Kentucky is the
only state university to be so benefited. These collections on which the
Carnegie Corporation has been at
work for more than a year, are now
complete and ready for distribution
to 17 colleges in the United States
and to three colleges in Canada.
Jt was the belief that instruction in
art was impossible without proper
equipment, no matter how good the
instructor and earnest the student,
that the Carnegie Corporation appro
priated $100,000 to make up collections which should serve in the teach- gkef art as the laboratory serves
in the teaching of science.
The collection, which includes reproductions, original prints, textiles and
books, are designed to stand as a
n
systematic representation of the
of Occidental art. In them are
shown the works of outstanding men,
of different periods, different schools,
different techniques and distinctive
cultures. With such a collection an

management use this play for Romany subscription performance, an additional $50.00 royalty will be paid for
the use of it. The Romany is very
eager to afford encouragement and
opportunity to all those interested in
writing and wishes to point out to
students the valuable opportunity to
gain experience in thb fascinating
field.
The management wishes to
urge those submitting plays to deal
with characters, locality, and situation with which they are familiar.
Plays dealing with youth, the home,
the local community or the campus or
more likely to be chosen than plays
dealing with international continental
society. Purely imaginative plays
may be safely attempted.
It is ako advised that those intending to compete write the director
of the Romany in care of the art
department for an appointment any
afternoon except Saturday or Monday from 3 until 6 p. m. and the appointment will be confirmed' by post
card. The management asks that
one allow four days to elapse from
the time of sending in application until

of Romany will advise students as to
suitability and probability of theme

will be glad to give criticism and
suggestions as to handling of material.
