sophomores at the other end of a manila line perhaps in the very area of their first endeavor — traditional old taylor stadium with rigorous training between now and then they may let us hope win anway it will be a hard fight a tough rugged traditional fight but when it is all over with and somebody has won our students will have learned a lesson — how to achieve balance in the world by pulling against each other a loud blaring voice sounds out commandingly and men rush to take up the ends of a long snaky rope their faces are strained de termined a tight feeling of sus pense vibrates around them they crowd and jostle each other clutching firmly to the length of dirty hawser hoarse voices yell encouragements jibes threats a lynching hanging necktie party no just tradition that's all just tradition it's the annual frosh — soph tug of war last wednesday founder's day it was enacted again as on foun der's days innumerable as far back as the neolithic era of rich ard harding davis freshmen and sophomores pulled against each other strained till their eyes bug ged with a mighty thing at stake would freshman dinks stay on or come off this time there was a new fea ture apparently the old rope is becoming a little tired for it broke the contenders lunged backward rallied took up the ends again pulled — and the rope broke three times they tried with typical lehigh tenacity the last time the rope held the spectators thronging the stands were treated to the spectacle of seeing the grunting freshmen pulled across a center line by the grunting soph omores althoug the defeated freshmen who have shamefully demonstrat ed great shortcomings in that mo dern imperative — pull — , are now doomed to wear their dinks prac tically forever and will not even be treated to suspension of fresh man rules on the sabbath there is yet hope at lehigh as anyone at all will tell you one gets more than an even break the freshmen will later in the semester again face 92 degrees

of the associated american art ists mr jones a guggenheim fel low said i am considered a mo dern painter and i am aware of the abstract approach i do not be lieve in it but i do believe in the abstract basis of painting in my course i intend to emphasize the fundamnetals of organization these paintings of mr jones said garth a howland head of the fine arts department rep resent his latest manner former ly he had painted in a more tra ditional style with heavy paint and more brilliant color this exhibit consits of a much more sketcher technique in these i think mr jones has tried to keep the freshness of his original im pression in what has been a com mon criticism of both artists and writers an artist loses the spon taniety of his sketch when he de velops it into a painting by this method mr jones has been able to retain the orginial quality and at the same time to develop it in to a painting effective paintings among the most effective per haps one of these paintings are the ones called apple country man in gray sweater and blue trees mr jones an artist correspon dent in alaska during the war has done art reporting for the re settlement administration and with 14 other artists has just fin ished art projetcs for pennsylvan ia and michigan by painting vari ous aspects of these states some of mr jones paintings hang in the metropolitan and whitney museums and
