UNORTHODOXY PLUS:
'U' Art Museum Beset'
By Weird Barter Media
DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN

How much spaghetti would you
pay for an old master drawing?
Spaghetti may sound like an
unusual medium of exchange,, but
some of the ways in which the
University Museum of Art acquires
its art works, are equally unortho-
dox.
It seems the Parisian art dealer
who sold a group of old master
drawings to the University Mu-
seum wanted his payment in kind.
WHAT'S MORE he stipulated
just what foods and books, and
in what quantity were to be sent
to him every month for the entire
winter in exchange for the draw-
City Suggests
Parking Plans
The 'City Council believes the
University should provide for off-
street parking in its future build-
ing plans.
A resolution to that effect was
adopted by the Council after hear-
ing a letter from Prof. John B.
Waite of the law school.
Prof. Waite mentioned East
Quadrangle as an example of a
building which lacks parking
space. He said that University
officials should be urged to com-
ply with off-street parking re-
quirements.
ings. Spaghetti and rice topped
the list.
The University business office
was not very happy about the
whole thing. "They just didn't
have the proper machinery for
this type of transaction," Prof:
Jean Paul Slusser, director of the
Museum of Art explained.
A large number of valuable
drawings and prints were
bought from a rich young man
who had fitted himself out with
a New York art gallery. When
his enthusiasm ebbed he closed
up the gallery and shipped the
pictures to his mother.
Prof. Slusser was greeted with
open arms when he arrived at her
apartment to look them over and
perhaps buy a few. He purchased
the entire group of "dust collec-
tors that were cluttering up the
closet" at his own price.
A FEW PRINTS are orderedin
the same way a farmer gets his
seeds-out of a catalogue. But
the major portion of the museum's
collection is supplied by art deal-
ers.
Ever since the Regents estab-
lished a fund 18 months ago the
museum has made an unusually
large number of purchases.
"At present we're bending our
efforts toward building up col-
lections of drawings and prints of
all periods, and, to a lesser ex-
tent, contemporary painting and
sculpture," Prof. Slusser said.

"Grand Illusion," a. French
movie starring Jean Gabin, will be
shown at 8:30 p.m. today and to-
morrow at Hill Auditorium.
Shown in Ann Arbor twice be-
fore, "Grand Illusion" has drawn
larger crowds than any other
movie presented at Hill Audito-
rium.
ONE OF THE most highly
awarded pictures of all time, this
French anti-war film won the
New York film Critics Award in
1939.
Helen Hayes considers "Grand
Illusion" one of the most sat-
isfying cinema experiences that
she has ever had. Of Gabin she
said, "He is undoubtedly thej
greatest screen lover since Ru-
dolph Valentino,"
Sponsored by The Art Cinema
League and the American Veter-
ans Committee, "Grand Illusion"
is considered a fitting climax to
the three week film festival fea-
tured at Hill Auditorium which
included "Day of Wrath" and
"Marriage in the Shadows."
Tickets will be available at Hill
Auditorium before each showing.
ble in their beer anymore-or at'
least so hopes the fledgling BAd.-
Council.
Although ionch of their work is
behind the scenes, the Council
boasts new library hours and thej
"morning coffee hour" as twoI
"finished products" of their ef-
forts. Meanwhile, work on other
schemes to satisfy the complaints
of business administration stu-
dents goes on.
ONE OF THE major projects of
the education committee of the
council is its work in combatting
the strict restrictions recently im-
posed on the number of courses
business students may take out-,j
side of the business school.
Three council members are
working with the faculty curric-
ulum committee in an effort to
expand the choice of outside
electives and thereby broaden
the outlook of the notoriously
"one-tracked business man."
Another phase of this under-
taking is that of expanding the
range of courses in business school

THE BUSINESSS SCHOOL not
only has a faculty rating program.
but last semester the council in-
itiated a course evaluation pro-'
gram. At the end of the term stu-
dents were given the opportunity
to say what they actually thought
of certain courses, and to offer
constructive suggestions. The
council hopes to extend this pro-
gram to include all courses offered
in the school.
Another commonly voiced
complaint of the students was
the haphazard changing of
courses not offered every semes-
ter, so that students often
missed out on desired subjects.
The council has now made ar-
rangements so that the school
schedules courses two years ahead
of time. Students can plan on
taking courses at designated se-
mesters with the assurance the
course will be available when the
time comes.
A NOVEL FEATURE of the bus-
iness school is the introduction of
students experts by the council to
fill the gap caused by the lack of
faculty advisors.
These so-called experts are
-advanced students, scholastically
as well as chronologically, who
give puzzled students first-hand
descriptions and advice about
vaguely defined courses.
In compliance with popular
opinion as articulated in the ques-
tionnaires circulated last semes-
ter, the council is publishing a
booklet listing library facilities
and their use to put students "in
the know."
