MODERN ART (Continued from first page) mospheric canvases' in vivid broken (juxtaposed) areas of colors, a meth od that marks the turning from the academic realism and court paintings of the preceding period. Since this first epochal break with tradition during . our time, artists have continued to experiment with techniques, materials and media and even more notable with subject and content of paintings. Their experi ments have been compared to the notable active increase and advance in the experiments of scientists. Quite plausibly it has often been pro posed that the work of many modern painters, such as that of Picasso and the lesser known Italian Futurist Balla anticipated and in point of time preceded the ingenuity of the present day movie camera artist. ' Confusion .Although modern art has been seen by two generations, some confusion has- continued to exist when the pub lic and layman pauses to consider the artists' works and motives. However, increasing understanding and ap preciation is evidenced in growing sales of art books in this country and in a Europe that has barely started clearing the debris of the war. The use of the term modern in connection with contemporary and re' cent works of art is a questionable one. Subject matter and visual repre sentation has changed naturally as costumes, custom, architecture and everyday objects around us have changed. But, beneath the changes in surface appearance, there lie in the more valid and worthwhile recent works structural qualities and traits of artistic personality that are found to mark works of past masters, whether Mayan, Egyptian or Byzan tine artisans, or Renaissance or Dutch painters. Many steps have been taken in the direction of clarifying the meaning of modern art. Museums, galleries, schools, art books and more popular magazines now serve to familiarize the man on the street with the sub jects and at times seeming lack of subject encountered in contemporary works of art. The Museum of Modern Art, New York, has been a pioneer in the prep aration of books and travelling exhi bitions. Among their exhibitions, one of their most recent and effective although one could wish it had been possible to have seen it 10 or 20. years f ago is the exhibit called "What Is Modern Painting?" The exhibition opened at the Per son Hall Art Gallery at the Univer sity August 9. and will continue through September 2. The material in the exhibition is based on the re search of Alfred H. Barr, Jr., former director of the Museum of Art who 1 continues his work in a research ap pointment at the Museum.

' Coeds from Alderman Hall and their dates had a picnic Saturday afternoon at 5:30 at the Battleground Park. Under the direction of Jean Paee, social chairman, singing and games were enjoyed. Last Saturday Steele dormitory had its summer picnic in Sparrow Pond. Approximately sixty-five students and their dates, celebrated what proved to be a pre-mature V-J announcement. The party, planned under the chair manship of Pete Long, consisted of swimming, horseshoe pitching, danc ing, and refreshments. Transportation was furnished by private cars and taxis. The party started at 5 o'clock, lasting well into the morning. Mary Holt Drewry, social chair man, has announced that Carr dormi tory will give a "very informal" street dance next Saturday afternoon from 3 to 6.

Scot Gardiner and his orchestra will furnish the music for the occasion. Grail Will Sell Senior Class Rings And Cards At the Student Legislature, which met Thursday night with Doug Hunt presiding, a bill was introduced by Walt Brinkley to the effect that the Grail be empowered to contract for the Senior Class invitations and rings, any profits' from the contract to go to the Grail loan or scholarship fund. Brink ley stated that this was necessary be cause the contracts have to be made in September, due to the shortage of leather, paper, and metal, whereas the Senior Class under the present sys tem does not become an organized unit until March. Although an individual could handle the orders and take any profit netted, the Grail's profit will eventually go back into student chan nels through the loan and scholarship funds. The rules were suspended and the bill was passed unanimously. There were no committee reports. The Rules Committee and the Ar chives Committee will meet next week, but there will be no regular Student Legislature meeting. 4?

Yack May Be Oft Press In Two Weeks Gene Johnston, editor of the 1945 Yackety Yack, announced tonight that the yearbook, due for distribution sometime last June, will come off the presses in Charlotte, N. C, within the next two weeks. When asked the chief reason for "this long delay, his only reply was, "Blame it on labor-condi tions." This year's Yack will be over 300 -a HI i pages long, and will contain many features of general campus interest. The outside appearance of the book will be much different and less con servative than . has been the case in recent years. It will be made-up of red leather and monk's cloth, with gold lettering on the leather and brown lettering on the latter. : Johnston also released the fact that over 1000 of this year's copies will be delivered by mail to Carolina alumni.

Marine Corps photo.) Carolina Alumni Trade Tales At Meeting In The careers of three University alumni brought them together at the Third Marine Division base in the South Pacific. ' The parallel of their lives -is four ply, for in addition to embracing the same alma mater, each is a veteran newspaperman, a Marine Corps Com bat Correspondent with the Third Ma rine Division, and a father. They are Staff Sergeant Harold A. Breard, 42, class of '27; Sergeant Gregoire deR. Hamilton, 35, class of '32, and Sergeant Dick Dashiell, 30, class of '37. Breard, 13 months overseas, saw ac tion on Saipan with the Fifth Am phibious Corps and the Guam and Iwo Jima operations. For his part in the Guam invasion he received a letter of commendation from Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz. After receiving his degree, Breard studied law one year at the University and added two semesters of the same subject at Tulane University. Prior to his enlistment in Febru ary, 1942, Breard taught English for two years and spent 10 years report ing and editing for local newspapers. Hamilton, son of Dr. J. C. deR. Hamilton of the University faculty, recently arrived in the Pacific theater. Previously, he was managing editor of the Parris Island Boot, one of the leading service newspapers. During his undergraduate career, Hamilton was a member of the Daily Tar Heel staff and other publications He also was an active representative of Kappa Alpha on the interf raternity council. Hamilton has worked on news papers in Charleston, S. C, and Dur ham, Elizabeth City, Raleigh, Ashe ville and High Point, N. C. He enlist ed in December 1943.

Every possible aid to physical fit ness is provided in Woollen gym and the facilities for wholesome recrea tion are unlimited. Sometimes stu dents do not take advantage f this wonderful dream which came true only a few years ago in the form of Woollen. Carolina should indeed be proud of one of the most modern and complete physical education plants in the country.

And' all of the million billion billion atoms must be struck by a neutron at exactly the same instant. This is the. secret process, in Dr. Straley's opinion, which a handful of American and British scientists have discovered, and it is the world's most closely-guarded secret but for how long, who knows? REHDER'S CHAPEL HILL FLOWER SHOP Opposite Post Office Corner South Pacific in April, 1944, and has been overseas since September of that year. Football and the Delta Kappa Ep silon fraternity were Dashiell's un dergraduate sidelines. He is further grateful to UNC for providing him a bride from the class of '35 the for mer Vivian Grisette. Dick's sister, Dorothy is currently attending the University. Son of Dr. and Mrs. J. F. Dashiell, of Chapel Hill, Dick worked for the Durham Herald-Sun. Charlotte Ob server, Asheville Times and the As sociated Press (Charlotte bureau) be fore joining the Corps. SPORT SPINS (Continued from page three) return of big Hank Greenberg, and the club still has an able pitching staff, but the Senators are putting up a hard tussle and seem very likely to overtake the Tigers. In fact we are going to stick our neck out far enough to pre dict that the Washingtonians will take their first pennant since 1933. However, the Tigers, who won the pennant the last time in 1940 only to drop the series to the Cincinnati Reds, are a hot ball club and will be hard to push out of the league leadership. The Senators whipped the Tigs, 8-0, be hind Dutch Leonard Wednesday in the first of a four-game series, cutting the lead of Detroit to two and a half games. The race is going strong, and anyone can win, but we're betting on Chicag6 and Washington to clash in the series come October . . . Well be watching! We would like to take this opportun ity to congratulate the North Caroling tennis men who represented us in the closed tourney in Greensboro last weekend. They didn't win any titles, but they played hard, and deserve a lot of praise. Lt. Barney Welsh, win ner of the men's singles crown -last year, was caught by the no-double- winner jinx and was toppled in the finals by one Tom Chambers, a marine. The intramural tournanfent in soft- ball is in its closing phases now, and the playoffs for the overall title are slated for next week, the Phi Clams nave been beaten, for the first time. by the Co. 1 NROTC team, and that tightens things up considerably in league A. Both teams sport a good record, and the final game between them will deside things in that circuit. Other teams expected to be high in the running for the championship are the Ringers, the Leathernecks, Two Brew, Med School, Co. 2 NROTC, Smith, and Delta Sig. It's going to be a mad scramble, but with Ted. JIaigler on the mound, it looks like the Phi Gams will win out. But Frank Gallagher for the NROTC's and several other top-notch hurlers will make the tour nament really tight indeed. The Tar Heel potential gridder spent one of the hardest weeks yet on the practice field last week, despite the V-J holiday, and the summer sessions have been extended to include next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Coach Snavely and his assistants have been doing a good job this summer, and this early work will undoubtedly help immeasurably in building a good team for Carolina this fall.
