Page Four THE TARHEEL , Tuesday, April 30, 1929 Scotch Plaid By DICK McGLOHON Dear Liz, How's the sweet little thing over at N. C. today? Everything is dead as hell here and has been getting worse for some time, with -the- excep tion, of course, to the recent invasion of a bunch of over-anxious - high school flappers who got the 'greatest kick out of flirting and playing around with no small number of our first year campus necking artists who have not yet collected enough nerve to brave the co-ed shack along with the rest of Carolina's most fiery co-ed leaches. Since the high school ers left, everything has drifted back ward and nothing's happening. Everybody admits that the ole cam pus needs a few sensational out bursts to wake things up around here Why even the students go to sleep on classes, and when it gets to the point that co-eds can't even shake a wicked leg to Jack Wardlaw's eccentric mu sic making such as he gave at the knock-down-and-drag-out affair over at the gym last Saturday night, 'things are arriving at a critical past. Some of the couples even stalled on the floor and had a devil of a time getting started again, but came along alright after due priming; then too, 'some just couldn't keep time and looked like staggering drunks. There ain't been nothing new. here in a coon's age but a little wrang ling over Brother Booker's NEW plan for student government, and I don't think much will come of that for it might mean too much work for the new campus officers to get the thing functioning. You see the Di and Phi are about the only stimuli that the thing gets and not much is expected to happen. These two societies have been dead so iotxg that the grave, yard keeper met .with much difficulty in finding the two weatherworn slabs for ; Brother Booker, who wanted to scrape off all the moss to find the epitaphs underneath. v. The only thing . new that has across this duck's path is a Journal of Pharmacy Honors Charlotte Man The April issue of the "Carolina Journal of Pharmacy, published- by the North Carolina Pharmaceutical Association, is dedicated to Thomas Arthur Walker, prominent Charlotte druggist. The dedicatory sketch, written by Prof. Grover Beard, editor of the publication and professor of phar macy in the University, summarizes Mr. Walker's life and pays tribute to his long service in the field of phar macy. It especially praises him for his consistent emphasis on the purely drug phases of pharmacy in carry ing on the affairs of the Walker Drug Company, which he organized in 1918 Mr. Walker is now in his fiftieth year. He received his pharmacy de gree at the University of Maryland in 1900, was prescriptionist for T. C Smith of Asheville, helped organize and , became president "of the Tryon Drug Company, and in 1918 founded the store that now bears his name He is a member of the North Caro lina and the American Pharmaceuti cal Associations. Di Senate to Discuss National Advertising The Dialectic senate meets tonight for the purpose of discussing this resolution : "Resolved, That the Dia lectic Senate go on record as stating that national advertising of today is a curse." Due to the fact that the recent Carolina-Virginia Radio debate was on this same subject and in consid eration of the present pertinence of the issue this discussion is expected to make the session tonight extreme ly interesting. The committee on the Bingham debate will also make a report to the senate. This inter-society con test will be held at commencement.

Devotes Most Time to Portraits For some time after Mrs. Graves came back to Chapel Hill she devoted much of her time to sketching scenes and. people of the village, but lately she has concentrated on charcoal arid oil portraits. The studio has many windows, and they are built in high up, much nearer these windows you view much of the beautiful scenery for which Chapel Hill is noted at this time of the year. Through one your gaze falls on hand some oaks and elms, crepe myrtle, and a large windmill not far away. Through a southern exposure you are greeted by fruit trees in full bloom, and through still another you are most impressed by tall pines. Strictly speaking ,the studio has no skylight, but into the northern side of the structure there has been built a very large window that serves the same purpose. It 'has a depth that reaches almost from the floor to the ceiling and the panes are very large. It provides all the light that is needed. Odd Pieces of Statuary Pieces of odd statuary are scatter ed here and there on shelves about the studio. They compose a collection that Mrs. Graves has been making for some years. Over in one corner there is a small kitchenette," where a real meal may be prepared when entertaining is in order. In another corner of the large room is a small closet where things may be put out of the way. In this closet there are stens that are sun-1 x x posed to lead into the attic, but the opening is so small that Tom Thumb is probably the only man who could enter. Built-in seats near the open fire place and well cushioned chairs and lounges are parts of the picture of comfort that the interior of the place presents. "My Bohemianism is only skin deep, so I made the studio like that," Mrs. Graves explains. She has not chang ed the exterior of the barn a bit other than to have it painted green. Family Closely Identified with U.N.C. Mrs. Graves comes of a family that has long been closely identified with the University. Her father, Ralph H. Graves, was a professor of mathema matics in the University, and her grandfather was also a member of the faculty. Her mother, with whom she lives, whose maiden name, was Julia Hooper, was the daughter of deBerni- ere Hooper, a professor of Greek in he University, and her mother's grandfather was also a professor here. She is a direct descendant of William Hooper, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. She has three bro- hers, Colonel Ernest Graves, United States Army, retired, who recently was appointed by President Hoover to the Mississippi River Commission; Ralph H. Graves, head of the syndi cate department of Doubleday, Doran. he publishers; and Louis Graves, editor of the well known Chapel Hill Weekly. In private life Mrs. Graves is Mrs. Mary Graves Rees. She has an eight-year old son, Pembroke, a handsome, brown'eyed chap of clear- cut features and the broad forehead that is so characteristic of the Graves family. Studied in Northern Cities Mrs Graves got her apprenticeship in art in New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. Her mother had moved to New York after the death of Professor Graves. Miss Mary studied at the Maryland Institute in Baltimore, at he Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia and under masters in New York. She was the pupil of the late William Chase, a great portrait painter and teacher, and of Henry McCarter, regarded by many as the father of American illus tration. She also spent a summer visiting European galleries. During the World War, while she was still in New York, she illustrated a number of war posters and drew sketches for newspapers and maga zine covers that were considered among the best. An illustration de picting "Slackers" that appeared on the front cover of the magazine sec tion of the New York World attracted comment that was especially favor able. She also illustrated for the New York Evening Post, The New York Tribune, The Southern Maga zine, The Ruralist, Country Life, and other publications. ' Awarded Several Prizes Three years ago the North Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs award ed her the prize for the best work of a North Carolina artist for that year The following year the Southern States Art League selected her por trait studies of Archibald Henderson and Paul Green to go on a traveling exhibit showing the works of repre sentative Southern artists. Last year the Kenilworth Art Galleries in Ashe ville awarded Mrs. Graves a silver cup for one of the best oil portraits presented at the exhibition. It was the portrait of her mother. Recently she was asked to write for the Uni versity Extension Division a booklet embracing a course on Southern artists. Just now Mrs. Graves is engaged in an effort to organize a society of; North Carolina professional artists, which organization would be- allied with the State Art Society. As art chairman she will be in charge of the exhibition of the work of North Caro lina artists at the meeting next week of the state Federation of Women's Clubs. Last year at High Point the exhibit attracted much favorable com ment. Hard Work Counts Most "Art takes more prespiration than inspiration," Mrs. Graves said in dis cussing her work. "A successful ar tist can't wait for the spirit to move him. Frequently he must work when there is little or no inspiration to do so. Anybody who is willing to work hard and has taste can succeed in art." She thinks school children should be given more, courses in art appre ciation and that the summer schools for teachers should have more such courses. Modernistic art, so called, is inter esting, she thinks, but one should not attempt it tmtil the academic form is well mastered. The trouble now, she believes, is that too many artists at tempt originality before they become masters of technique.
