FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1954 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THIMEE I _____ I P AGE TH!iitEE V - , MODERN CONCEPT: Read Explains Art Conflict A The basis for today's conflict in art comes from a difference in moral sensibility and aesthetic values Sir Herbert Read declared in yesterday's English department lecture. Speaking on "The Fundamental Conflict in Modern Art before a standing - room - only audience, Read gave some differences as to what morals and aesthetics are based on: aesthetics on intuition and moral-values on sentiment; aesthetics on truth, morals on the good; aesthetics as a way of life, morals as a particular way of life. ** * "ART NEVER changes under aesthetics," Sir Herbert continued, "while art does change under mor- als. And art seeks to define all values." The eminent essayist and crit- ic, remarking on Tolstoy's views of all art and artists expressed his inability to believe Tolstoy's opinion that art can establish a . brotherhood of man. "Art begins with states of feeling and gives them concrete reality, material- izes them. This is the opposite of Tolstoy's statements. "Love has given rise to the greatest works of art. But Tolstoy would say that some of it is bad, a sign of a decadent society. But is Sappho a bad poet, or Proust a bad novelist? Tolstoy would think so." Speaking on art and politics Sir Herbert said "All works of art are doomed to be weapons in the social system, art becomes not only a propaganda instru- ment but a social function for the ideology." Sir Herbert warned against making modern art conform for this would be ignoring "all tech- niques which have made the mod- ern world possible. Great art pro- ceeds from fundamental charac- teristics of human nature. It is neither the art nor the people that is wrong, but the civilization.. "Art Can change the chemical forces of the world, the physi- cal, material entities. Spiritual changes will follow."

"the civilization is wrong" ROBERT FLAHERTY:- Noted Flm Producers Life Reviewed b Critic uunjui~a Vto the survey, it will cost Michigan taxpayers $400,000,000 to provide for essen- tial new school construction and improvements in existing plants. The overcrowded classrooms and obsolete facilities have caused survey takers to recom- mend that 935 school plants be abandoned immediately. Crowd- ing has been such that almost 50,000 students are attending school on multiple session plans or some other form of a shorten- ed school day. Another 40,000 must learn their 3 R's in make- shift or rented quarters. Cited as potential fire-traps are the 53 percent of the state's schools constructed of combustible materials. Out of these, 405 do not meet minimum fire standards. . STUDIES of one-room schools find 64,000 students in attendance. Almost 1,000 school districts have closed their school buildings, transporting their children to oth- er districts. Buildings are rapidly wearing out, with 40 per cent of the state's schools being built before 1900 with only 6.4 per cent con- structed since 1945. Noting poor sanitary conditions, the survey says 1,206 schools have G&S Society ToAudition Try-outs for the spring produc- tion of the Gilbert and Sullivan Society will be held today from 7 to 9 p.m. and Sunday, from 7 to 10 p.m. in the League. The group is planning to present two short operas: "Thespis" and "The Sorcerer." "Thespis" was the first fruit of the Gilbert and Sulli- van collaboration and it was in this work that the famous Gilbert chorus came into being. THE SCORE was not published and there is only one song re- maining from it. Jerald Bilik, Spec., has written and orchestrated the score for the opera. Bilik, Michigan Marching Band arranger, has attempted to write the music as, he feels Gilbert would have. Bilik and Clarence Stephenson, Grad., will direct the production to be presented in Ann Arbor, April 15 to 17, and in Detroit April 23. SRA Enjoys Long History On Campus By CAROL NORTH Celebrating its 97th anniversary this year, the Student Religious Association, formerly the Student Christian Association, was the first organization of its kind to be formed in America. Founded in the fall of 1857 on the then all-male campus, SCA (later SRA) was a coed organiza- tion, with both female staff mem- bers and faculty members' wives forming the group until student coeds arrived on campus. IN THE PAST sixteen years there has been a large development in the conception -of a religious program on campus. According to Dewitt C. Baldwin, director of Lane Hall, "We are getting away from the idea of simply an inter- religious organization on campus. Lane Hall is the name of an inter- religious program, which includes both students and staff in its func- tioning." Lane Hall has often been con- fused with SRA, while in actual- ity, SRA is merely a part of the over-all inter-faith program that Lane Hall offers Concerning itself with coordi- nating student and professional religious activities on campus, sponsoring inter - religious pro- grams, working on religious coun- seling, and developing the relig- ious perspective of the community in respect to the state, nation and world, Lane Hall is an important part of campus life. Through SRA, in conjunction with Lane Hall, the student may learn of the different types of re- ligious faiths in the world today, together with discovering new as- pects of his own and other relig- ions. , DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN (Continued from Page 2) Summer Employment.

(Continued on Page 4) "Robert Flaherty was the kind of movie producer everyone met who held an interest in films," ac- cording to Saturday Review of Lit- erature movie reviewer Arthur Knight. The reviewer explained noted film man created his documen- taries with the "intention of giv- ing information." In order to find out the traditions and manner of living of a people, Kight pointed out, Flaherty might live with them for months before he started shoot- ing a film. S * * KNIGHT serves on the advisory board of the Flaherty Foundation, a group founded after the produc- er's death to encourage young film-makers to follow the Flaher- ty tradition. A series of four of the late movieman's films will be shown Feb. 22 and 25 and March 1 and 3 during the Flaherty Film Fes- tival. Sponsored by the English de- partment and the Gothic Film So- ciety, the festival will include "Nanook of the North," "Moana," "Man of Aran" and "Louisiana Story."

He sought stories conveying their traditions and'evelops folklore, the reviewer noted. "If Flaherty distorted the face of re-IA ality, he did so to show the truth L of the original people."
