Speaking from their mutual ex- periences as painters, Prague-born Mojmir and Irene Frinta agreed on their preference for the indi- vidualistic life art offers. "I have a deep horror of factory work," Frinto emphasized. "I would rather cut grass," he added. Studying for Doctorate Now studying for his doctorate in history of art at Michigan, the artist explained that during World War II he and many other Czechs were forced to work on the assem- bly line in German factories. "Doing the same little thing over and over again was terrible," he commented. "It was impossible to have any pride in my work." "An artist's life is inclined to be less comfortable but more free," the painter continued. Although people do not usually value indi- vidualism much, Frinta comment- ed that he highly cherishes his freedom of decision. Prior to coming to the United States in 1951, Frinta and his wife studied art in Prague and Paris. Although the couple studied at the same schools, this does not show in their style. Influenced by Fauvists While in Paris Frinta was influ- enced by the Fauvist movement which is demonstrated by his use of pure, rainbow colors. However, earlier works prove that he has al- ways preferred bright colors.

On the other hand, the work of his wife, Irena is more modern and less realistic. Like her husband, she uses bright, vivid colors but her style tends to follow a cubic pattern. She likes to do lithographs, also, but her role as housewife and mother does not give her much Senors and Graduare St lnts with 4! L _.' i ,! I i !

In France Mrs. Frinta started a hobby which is of great interest to the, fairer sex. Appealing to women who like something origi- nal in their wardrobe, Mrs. Frinta designs and paints silk scarves. My scarves are more expensive than most American women want to pay, because I must import the paints from France and it takes so much time," she added. "But in France," she continued, "women put more emphasis on owning something which no one else has." While working on his doctor- ate, Frinta has a part-time job as assistant in the art museum. Be- sides caring for the paintings and exhibits, he restores damaged works of art. While in Paris Frinta worked for a large studio specializing in this field and worked on several restorations. Frinta was also privileged to be a probationer in the laboratory of the Institute Mainini at the Louvre Museum where the modern pro- cesses of restoration are reviewed as jealously guarded secrets.

Center Takes Survey Study Of Election (Continued from Page 1) The Survey Research Center has had a great deal of practice in charting the political bent of the nation. After the 1948 election it r e v e a 1 e d fore-knowledge that stamped it as the only group to anticipate the Truman win over Dewey. Its 1952 study came out with almost the exact percentage of President Eisenhower and Adlai Stevenson votes. No Predictions But despite its record for accur- acy, the Center has successfully avoided becoming a prediction unit. The studies have been direct- ed at determining the motivations behind an individual's vote, rather than the outcome of a particular election. Answers to the recent questions are being analyzed and are soon to be released. One of the interesting results to come out of the 1952 study was that campaign fervor may be no more than a gesture. After the election, 68% of those who had voted said that they had known how they were going to vote as soon as the nomi- nations were held or even before. Both the 1952 study and the pres- ent questionnaire have employed the Center's sample interviewing technique, and have been conduct- ed on a nation-wide basis. The con- gressional study has included 1,150 interviewees. Resolution Passed Urging Severance Salary for Davis (Continued from Page 1) tion marks the turning of the tide in the way these things have been operated and in the way in which tenure cases have been conduct- ed." Prof. William J. LeVeque of the mathematics department said he was "greatly heartened by the de- cision of the vote. I was much im- pressed by the full and deliberate discussion which preceeded it," he added. Last week the Faculty Senate defeated Prof. LeVeque's motion to make the Senate severance pay report retroactive to the Davis case. Regents' Decision At the Regents meeting of Au- gust 26, when Davis and Prof. Mark Nickerson of the pharma- cology department were dismissed, Regents decided not to give the faculty members severance pay. Questions concerning severance pay for Prof. Nickerson do not come under jurisdiction of the literary college. Controversy has arisen concern- ing whether the decision not to give Davis severance pay was ac- tually made at the Regents' meet- ing in August. While Secretary of the Univer- sity Regents Herbert G. Watkins said Regents had decided "not to give severance pay," one Regent commented he didn't exactly re- call the question of severance pay being discussed. Previous Dispute Only other severance pay dis- pute at the University, since adop- tion of the present AAUP stand in 1941, arose when two engineer- ing professors were dismissed for "academic incompetence," in 1944. Regents then agreed to pay the professors one year's severance pay. A highly-placed University offi- cial explained, however, that "One Board of Regents is not necessar- ily bound by decisions of an ear- lier Board." He added that the 1944 cases did not "necessarily set a precedent." -Daly-Dean MortA -Daly-mean Mortou JAY KAUFMAN JACK SCHAUPP ... IFC Ball . . Greek Week Greek Week, Spring Ball Chairmen N amed by IFC Interfraternity.. Council officials announced yesterday the appoint- ment of Jack Schaupp, '56 BAd and Jay Kaufman, '56 BAd as chairmen of next spring's Greek Week and IFC Ball respectively. Greek Week, which annually puts fraternities in the University spot- light for a week, will be held this year April 17-23. IFC Ball Scheduled IFC Ball is scheduled for April 28 at the Michigan League, Schaupp, president of Delta Tau Delta fraternity, has served the past few months as chairman of the Greek Week recommendations committee. The committee work- ing since last spring, has made suggestions for improvement of last year's Greek Week. Kaufman, a member of Tau Del- ta fraternity, serves on the Student Legislature, is SL comptroller, and a member of the SL Cinema Guild Board. Program Chairman Last spring he was Program and Patrons Chairman for IFC Ball. Also included in annual Greek Week activities are exchange din- ners between sororities and fra- ternities, IFC Sing, and the an- nual President's dinner. Deadline Delayed For SL Petitions Deadline for obtaining petitions for Student Legislature seats has been extended to November 6. David Levy, '57, Elections Direc- tor, has stated that "we are look- ing forward this year to a record voter interest and number of can- didates. Position and class in the student body presents no problem to those academically eligible peo- ple who recognize the vital impor- tance and responsibilities of stu- dent representation. "Today's academic community plays a far greater role than ever before. In light of ever-increasing enrollment, the need for respon- sible government is paramount." Petitions may be obtained in the SL headquarters in Quonset Hut A next to Waterman Gymnasium. By JIM DYGERT Of the 10 University projects now under construction at an es- timated cost of $12,825,000, three mightbe classified in "miscella- neous," which does not mean they are unimportant. Most noticeable of these, because it frustrates students accustomed to using the side door of the Union, is the $2,900,000 Union Addition project. Actually begun in July when workmen installed new steam tun- nels for the addition, construction of the building itself will begin as soon as the circular side drive has been removed and the contractor's materials arrive. Workmen Intrude in Cafeteria Already the project has en- croached upon the dining facili- ties. Panels stretching across the archways and blocking entrances to tables in the north alcove were put up yesterday. Cafeteria facilities will, however, be in operation for the remainder of the school year. Not until next June will the cafeteria close to al- low the final step of connecting the old Union building and the new wing. Completion of the project is scheduled for July. The addition is being financed by Union funds on hand and by a sale of revenue bonds to be re- tired by the Union's share of tu- ition fees. Athletic Administration Building Another project students have no doubt notices, because it lies en route to the football stadium, is the new Athletic Administration Building. Being constructed by the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Ath- letics on its own funds, the new building will permit the consolida- tion of the physical education and intramural programs and staffs with the rest of the sports pro- gram. Begun at the end of the summer, the $350,000 Athletic Administration U' PROJECTS: Construction Continues On Campus Buildings Building is expected to be finished by April. Inconspicuous Project The remaining item in "miscel- laneous" is more likely unknown to the majority of students, because it is being built inside the Univer- sity's vast heating plant. Reference is to the addition of a big new boiler to the heating plant at a cost of $950,000. Financing of the project was arranged by the State Legislature. Begun last spring, the new boil- er creates the added boiler capaci- ty needed for new University buildings. Tentative plans include an increase also in generator ca- pacity to meet the constant expan- sion of the University in its effort to accommodate growing enroll- ment figures. Other Construction Planned Besides the 10 projects on the present construction schedule, oth- ers are in the planning stages and were included in the plant exten- sion progress report received by the Regents at their October meet- ing. Architects are making a prelim- inary study of an addition to the School of Dentistry. Before the Regents and several other University a n d student groups for study is the proposal for a Student Activities Building to accommodate the increased space needs of student organizations. Preliminary plans call for such a building to be constructed on funds from a special assessment on stu- dents. Also under study is a Music and Fine Arts Center on the North Campus.
