THURSDAY.MAR. 4
3 p.m.-A, research seminar in
hospital and medical systems will
discuss "Estima'ting Manpower
R.equirements" in Rm. 69, Business
In an age when the discussion
of art has penetrated cocktail
parties as well as coffee houses,
it is not surprising that new gal-
leries are being born. But, the
latest birth, the New Gallery in
Ann Arbor, is decidedly unique.
In the basement of a brown
house on the corner of South
Forest and Washtenaw, this gal-
lery presents the works of four
art students at the University.
Entitled "Statements in Form,"
the exhibition demonstrates the
recent trends in art and evidences
the diversity of expression.
Independent
Organized independently by the.
four participating students, the
exhibition will be held through
March 16, from 3 to 10 p.m. daily.
Although the works are on
sale, the gallery was not designed
for commercial purposes alone.
Rather, it seeks to show what is
now being done in student art
with the hope of attaining a per-
manent place to display student
work.
The exhibition gives a sam-
pling of different methods and
modes of expression, ranging from
the realistic works of Ahde Lah-
ti to the abstracts of Sam Scott.
Ahde Lahti's works are more
traditional in their realistic por-
trayal. The "Landscape"ris al-
most pastoral in its soft realism;
another lithograph, "Young Head,"
has a pensive, Grecian quality.
Lahti's drawings are also expres-
sive: the ink drawing of the
American Jazz Festival displays a
touch of burned gold, and the
charcoal of a trumpet player
evokes a vibrant life with mini-
mal strokes and density of lines.
In contrast, the "Untitled"
works of Sam Scott evidence ac-
tive art in its most abstract form.
One piece is done on a large can-
vas, employing dominant reds,
yellows and oranges with broad,
large strokes of green and blue
and lines where the paint appears
to run down the canvas surface.
This work also contains a col-
lage, with a sheet of paper super-
imposed upon the painting. Scott's
"Self-Portrait" uses diversity of
technique; the face is drawn, with
blue and purple tones glazed and
gold leaf applied to complete his
Christ-like image.
Although the gray, black tones
of Steve Molitoris's "Methuselah"
present an abstract manner, his
"November 27, 3 a.m." is a more
realistic piece in its subdued green
and brown tones of desertion.
"Composition" is an abstract de-
sign of varied greens and blues,
but the movement and tension of
color in space is more clearly 1-
lustrated in the "Conversation."
George Frayne displays sculp-
ture as well as painting. An "Un-
titled" sculpture done with welded'
chrome is a massive, coldly gleam-
ing piece, and the "Typewriter
Man," done from parts of a type-
writer, is reminiscent of pop art.
His painutings range from the
elongated, blue-green forms of
"The Amblers" to the bright yel-
lows and oranges of spherical and
egg-shaped forms of the "Sym-
phony."
New, Social Psychologist
Lauds 'U' Individuality

Prof. Donald R. Brown, a new
social psychologist here, praises
the University's attempts to em-
phasize the individual in a large
college atmosphere.
Brown came to the University
fromBryn Mawr College in Penn-
sylvania to work with the Center
for Research on Learning'and
Teaching. He is particularly in-
terested in how an' individual's
personality and his environment
affect his education.
According to Brown, education
is partly dependent on the indi-
vidual's personality as well as on
the environment of his school.
"Some people are more suited to
a large school where their learn-
ing can be more self-motivated,
rather than guided by a professor.
Others need more supervision and
a constant reminder such as
grades, that they are really learn-
ing something," he explained:
How does the student decide be-
tween the large and small school?
Ideally, he can seek out and fol-
low the advice of a good counselor
in high school, Brown said. How-
ever, this road is not always open
to the student. Often he will have
to be his own counselor, talking
to alumni, visiting campuses of
different sizes and choosing what
is best for him personally.
Despite the size of the Univer-
sity, Brown finds that there is
a unique concern for the individ-
ual student here. For instance,
the residential college will pro-
vide living, dining and classroom
facilities all in a compact area,
creating closer student and stu-
" ew w NE w w---- q.

dent-faculty relationships.
Brown explained that the fac-
ulty at the experimental college
will be as good as those teaching
elsewhere at the University, but
since they will be teaching there
voluntarily, they will have a
greater interest in the student as
an individual.
Another way the University
accommodates the individual is
through the Honors Program,
which Brown believes to be out-
standing. Here any student with
the proper grade-point average
can enter the program at any
point in his undergraduate career.
To Seek Dental
Facts in Egypt,
The University is sending a
small scientific expedition into
Egypt in a race against time to
obtain fast-vanishing evidence of
man's dental changes across the
past 40 centuries.
Two University dentists, Dr.
James Harris and Dr. Joseph
Hartsock, will be joined by an
anthropologist from the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania and a former
University student now on the fac-
ulty of the University of Alex-
andria, Egypt.
They will be seeking cephal-
ometric data (X-rays and meas-
urements of the facial bones and
teeth) from the Nubians, an an-
cient population which has re-
mained substantially unchanged
since it took form between the
12th and 18th Egyptian Dynasties
-about 2000 B.C. The planned re-
search could provide some of the
most extensive and detailed evi-
dence ever collected on dental
changes in a specific population.
But despite the 4000-year scope
of the project, time has suddenly
become crucial. Waters of the
Nile, backing up behind the As-
wan dam, are beginning to flood
the ancient Nubian burial grounds.
The Egyptian government has di-
rected that all cadavers must be
re-interred before the flood waters
reach the graves.
Evolving from a historical lab-
yrinth, modern American drawing
emphasizes the importance of line,
Dore Ashton, art critic and author,
said Tuesday night in Architecture
Aud.
In her lecture, "Formative As-
pects of Present Day Drawing,"
Miss Ashton discussed the aspects
of drawing revealed in the visual
arts.
Although American art did not
have to overcome the complexities
of historical background, its evo-
lution did zig-zag through various
idioms from Europe. Employing
the initial resources of Europe,
contemporary painting is indepen-
dent of national background, Miss
Ashton said.
The language of modern draw-
ing is Western, shaped by artists
of different backgrounds and con-
ceived in a provincial atmosphere,
according to Miss Ashton. De-
rived from this provincial quality
is a linear accent, which gives
American art a fresh and bold
tenor.
However, American artists left
the provincial spirit with the turn
of the century to enter the mod-
ern arena, Miss Ashton said, citing
a group of artists who became the
eccentric Americans of the avant
garde in early 1900 as indicative
of this new spirit.
Soaking the spirit but retain-
ing a linear accent, such artists
as Dove and Marion lived in Eur-
ope for several years. With his
linear rhythms and stress on
forms in profile, Dove illustrates
the importance of line as a carrier
of motion. Marion initiated an
idiom dependent. on the free use
of lines in his abstract calligraphy,
in which he made symbolic refer-
ences to forces of nature, she said.
Exploring ideas in the study
of others' idioms, Gorky developed
his graphic vocabulary, she added.
From his initial reverence toward
cubism, Gorky moved into sur-
realism with a circular plane and
space. Redefining the character
of space, he related all distance
to a fixed point.
Graphics as a vocabulary be-
came more assured as it turned to
nature, Miss Ashton said. Typify-
ing this aspect of modern art,
Gorky spoke of a need to find
other space and to "look into the
grass." As the line glided over
the page it produced a unity of
new impulse.
Using slides to supplement her
lecture, Miss Ashton also discussed
how artist Jackson Pollock used
lines to superimpose his own feel-
ings. Reflecting Picasso and Amer-
ican Indian art, Pollock detached
forms into interdependent and
interchangeable sequences. Pollock
used the unconscious as a source
of creative energy, but the linear
impulse overrode the form as line
functioned independently to unify
the picture plane.
Illustrating some artists' belief
in the purity of form in abstrac-
tion, Miss Ashton pointed to De
Kooning's works of surrelaistic
motion of metamorphosis with
lines disembodied in complex
space.
Similarly, she noted, Philip Gus-
ton eliminated all but the sum-
mary quality of line, emphasizing:
the breathing nature of it. Through
his sharp, vertical strokes, Guston
revealed the symbolic qualities of
nature.
Although these abstract expres-
sionist principles are employed by
some of the younger artists, Miss
Ashton noted that they have
adapted more severe means of ex-
pression such as hardening of line.
"Drawing is like poetry," Miss
Ashton said. "It is hard to char-
acterize in words. There are a
great many idioms present in 20th
century art, as the exhibition '100
Contemporary American Drawings'
demonstrates."
Holme also criticized the Flint
plans as destructive to faculty
morale at the junior college. This
is primarily due to the faculty
uncertainty about whether the col-
lege is to remain only a fresh-
man-sophomore faculty in the ;ity
or whether it will be "compet-
ing" with a similar faculty at
the University branch.
Morton asked Holme if there
was any faculty sentiment favor-
ing "the state's third reasonable
alternative" in Flint, the expan-
sion of the junior college to a
four-year institution by adding the
junior and senior years. Holme
said there was little faculty back-
ing for such a plan: "it has not
been given as much thought as
the University's expansion" there.
Undermining
Turner's attacks on the Flint
plan as "undermining the cam-
munity college movement" were
echoed by David Sanford, sopho-
more vice-president of the junior
college's Student Government
Council.
Sanford said the expansion
would "undermine the academic
program of the Flint junior col-
lege" by taking the highest qual-
ity students into the University
branch.
Robert Beam, president of the
junior college's student govern-
ment, disagreed, however, support-
ing the expansion because "a
junior college has limited pur-
poses and so must limit the aca-
demic freedom available to its
students." He felt Flint's college
programs deserve the academic
freedom which "the University can
supply."
Between 1500 and 2000 leading
scholars of the world on Asia'
and the Middle East are expected.
The event will coincide with the
University's Sesquicentennial cele-
bration. Prof. Russell H. Fifield of
the political science department is
secretary-general of the congress.

TALAHASSEE, Fla.-An exper-
imental undergraduate college, em-
phasizing independent study, con-
stant exposure to books and fre-
quent dialogues between students
and faculty, is being considered at
Florida State University.
Designed for a maximum of 600
students, the college features a
break from the traditions of 55-
minute classes, credit hour re-
quirements and grade point aver-
ages. Its goal is to "deal with
knowledge as a continuous, inter-
related process throughout the
student's career," Prof. R. R. Og-
lesby, who heads the college's
planning committee, said.
Its program will initially be
devoted to the humanities.
