The appropriateness of admis-
sions standards is also a problem.
"An African with one year of
mathematics cannot be admitted
to a chemical engineering course,'
Prof. Davis said. One possible solu-
tion he offered was that a prep
school be created to give the stu-
dents the proper background.
Prof. Hollis W. Peter, Director
of the Foundation for Research on
Human Behavior, noted the prob-
lems faced by workers who are

tives of the nationals.

By RISA AXELROD
"Cubism represents the ulti-
mate triumph of the French clas-
sical tradition in painting," Prof.
Nathan T. Whitman of the His-
tory of Art Department said yes-
terday.
Tracing the continuance of
classical principles from the Sev-
enteenth Century to the present,
Prof. Whitman noted that cubism
embodies the discipline and con-
trolled order of classicism.
"Picasso, in his cubist phase, for
instance, ignores reality and rad-
ically transforms irregularities in-
to precise, disciplined structures.
His rational selection and rear-
rangement make him a part of
the classical tradition," he said.
Prof. Whitman cited Poussin as
the chief representative of the
classical tradition of French art
in the Seventeenth Century. Pous-
sin used the sculptural, supremely
ordered forms of antiquity, he not-
ed.
"French painting of that era
shows a concern for the essence
of inner being of things; it con-
tains the classical elements of
stability, clearity and simplifica-
tion of shapes without necessarily
the outer drapings of classicism,"
Prof. Whitman said.
After a digression to the hedon-
istic art of the Rococo period,
Dual Playbill
To Conclude
Drama Series
The speech department Labora-
tory Playbill series will close the
season with performances of John
Heywood's pre-Elizabethan farce
"The Play of the Wether" and an
abridged version of Plautus' Ro-
man farce "The Twin Menaichmi,"
at 4:10 today and tomorrow in
the Arena Theatre.
The two plays are being pre-
sented under the auspices of the
Union's Creative Arts Festival.
The festival will also sponsor
"Arts in the 60's," a forum in,
which "Generation" and "Arbor"
magazines will participate at 7:30
p.m. today in the Multipurpose
Rm. of the UGLI.
Closing today's festival acttvities,
the Michigan Singers and the Uni-
versity choir will give their one
hundred and seventeenth concert
at 8:30 p.m. in Hill Aud. Prof.
Maynard Klein of the music school
will conduct.
Young Democrats
To Hold Meeting
The Young Democrats will hold
their annual business meeting and
election of officers at 7:230 p.m.
today in Rm. 3R of the Union.

j ... French painting
broadly philosophical, more lim-
ited, less universal," he said.
At the beginning of the Nine-
teenth Century there wass afusion
of realism with the classical or-
der. "There was a literary classi-
cism, but it was without value as
visual art."
"Cezanne represents the contin-
uance of the classical tradition in
the most profound and total man-
ner," Prof. Whitman emphasized.
His realism is fused with classi-
cal containment, arrangement and
profound dignity of form. Ce-
zanne, like Poussin, brings out the
essence of things even though he
may be dealing with genre or
landscape.
To Give Talk
On Negroes
The Democratic Socialist Club
will present a talk and discussion
on the topic: "The Negro Move-
ment: Where is it now? Where
is it going?" at 8 p.m. today in
Rm. 3K of the Union.
The panel of speakers will in-
clude James Boggs, publisher of
"Correspondence," and Daniel
Newsom, of the National Associa-
tion for the Advancement of
Colored People.
