STUDENTS RELAX during: break from dancing at the Sadie Hawkins Dance sponsored by the sophomore class. St Si mt Life Committee sors Reading Forum The >1 Life Committee, under tion of Dr. James Cox, ) ring, for the sec ond ycai, liie Related Reading Forum. This year, Mrs. Ann S. John son is chairman of this particu lar section of the commdttee. The purpose of this is to bring together faculty and student par ticipation in college-wide read ing. The first book under “analy sis” is by Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit, and the Flies — two plays which present existential ism as the latest tradition in Western philosophy. Thomas Hanna describes the existential attitude as the com bination of a thorough concern for the individual and an almost unbearable honesty in the de scription of that individual, his universe, and the history which Woodcuts By Amen On Display In Exhibit Gallery An exhibit of woodcuts by Irving Amen has been on view in the Exhibit Gallery and will remain through Nov. 26. Of unusual interest, this ex hibit was arranged through the Artists Studio Gallery of New York, some 30 woodcuts are in cluded dn the show. Irving Amen was born in New York City in 1918. He began drawing at the age of four and at fourteen won a scholarship to Pratt Institute, From 1942 to 1945 he served v/ith the armed forces in Europe. He headed a mural project for the Tliird Air Force and exe cuted murals in the United States and Belgium. His works are now in the permanent collections of many of the world’s leading museums, including the Metropolitan Mu seum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Library of Con gress, the BibUotheque Nation- ale in Paris, the BibUotheque Royale in Brussels, the Bezalel National Museum in Jerusalem, the Victoria and Albert Museum of London, the PhUadelphia Mu seum of Art, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and the Albertina Museum in Vienna. Jacob Kainen, curator of the Division of Graphic Arts of the Smithsonian Institution, has writ ten of Amen’s work: “His technical brilliance Is that of the master who can conjure up the special proper ties that make the woodcut so fascinating, so nobly rude and yet so limpid and elegant. His mature work has heightened the intensity of his already personal language, based upon traditional disciplines but fresh with the wayward idiom of a new time.” molds him. Jean Wahl defines the funda mental principles of existential ism as (1) we exist without knowing why and (2) existence lacks essence and therefore is constantly in danger and im- certainty. Sartre himself says that man is nothing else but that which he makes of himself. He says that man first of all exists, en counters himself, surges up in the world — and then defines himself after this complete pro cess. The purpose of this forum is to stimulate thought concern ing existentialism and to in clude the modern concept of Christian existentialism. Even though Sartre was an athiest we can find a related position of Christianity in existentialism. During the first week in De cember, Dr. Cox and Mr. Jim Tedder wiU hold an informal debate and discussion session on Sartre’s book. Students and faculty are encouraged and in vited to participate. The book is on sale in the book store for approximately one doUar. COMPLIMENTS OF Hal Orr’s MOTEL ROCKY MOUNT. N. C.
