By WAYNE DAVIS One of the busiest women in the Memorial Student Center is Mrs. Emalita Newton Terry. Mrs. Terry, in charge of the art and ceramics exhibits, has been swamp ed with questions since the exhi bits opened on Thursday morning. “The show v/as originally plan ned to interest students and fac ulty members in the art club,” Mrs. Terry said. “Inquiries are far above what we’ve expected. Last year’s membership of 53 in the art club will certainly be ex- cessed this year even if only a small percentage of the students expressing interest in the club become members.” The exhibit that has caused so much interest in art consists of 16 oils by nationally prominent art ists, together with 35 watercolors by San Antonio artists. Also included in the exhibit are more than a hundred pieces of ceramic figures created by Brazos Famous Artist Speaks Monday Seymore Stone, international ly famous portrait painter, will address members of the Memor ial Student Center Gallery Com mittee, Monday at 7:15 p.m. He agreed to give a talk on art at that time shortly before noon today. County sculptors. The latter dis play has attracted the greatest at tention, Mrs. Terry said, because, although the ceramics are alto gether amateur-rnade, their su perb workmanship and excellent design gives them a professional look completely unlike what an average spectator expects from an amateur ceramist. The oil paintings, on the main floor along with the ceramics, are painted by professional art ists. Among the better-known painters represented are G. E. Eisenlohr, long known as the dean of Texas painters, who has exhib ited and won fame in many nation al exhibitions; Frank Klepper, one of the best-loved Texas landscape and Chinese-Art painters; and Robert K. Reed, who has had one- man shows at the Texas Wesleyan College in Fort Worth and the Pittsburgh Arts and Crafts Cen ter. Of special interest to art pat rons will be the paintings of Miss Martha Simkins, who is showing two pictures, and Miss Katherine Backstrom, well-known for her flower studies and head pieces, of which three are on exhibition. Misses Simkins and Backstrom plan to be present during the ex hibition and will be happy to per sonally meet all art lovers. The water-color exhibit is being held in Meeting Room 2A. Fea tured are an abstraction by Alice Naylor, animal and flower studies by Ruth Dunn, and, perhaps the most popular water-color in the exhibit, Robert K. Reed’s well- known “Approaching Rain.” The Art Club and the Student Center Gallery Committee cord ially invite everyone interested in art to visit the exhibition, which will continue through Satur day, September 23. Vet Wives Choose Extension Courses Several extension courses were requested by veteran student’s I) r ^ wives at a meeting in the South IMdUIIcU Solarium of the YMCA Wednes day night, according to Dr. T. F. Mayo, head of the English De partment. Courses were requested in five departments, Mayo said.

Almost any course in the col lege catalogue can be offered if as many as 12 persons ask for it, Mayo added.

Credits earned in these courses (offered only to wives of vete ran students) may be transferred to other colleges.
