Old Method Used
ForRowePa in tings
By PAUL CROSSLAND
Battalion Staff Writer
An old painting method was re
discovered when Guy Rowe painted
the characters for “In Our Image,”
said Mrs. Ralph Terry, advisor
and instructor for the MSC Art
Gallery Committee..
During and before the middle
ages, a mixture of wax, grease, and
color chalk was used for paintings.
After the middle ages, a new meth
od was introduced whereby the
use of oils on canvas was em
ployed. This system has been used
to the present days, she said.
Introduces Old Method
Rowe introduces the old meth
od used on protectoide in his new
paintings. This method is to paint
the picture on the reverse side of
the protectoide. This is believed
to give the aft better color, achieve
extreme detail and to protect it.
Fifteen of Rowe’s 32 paintings
are on display at the MSC. They
make up an exhibition that not
only art people enjoy seeing, but
every person who enters the MSC.
As T. H. Russel, senior from Ver
non, said, “I’ve never seen any
thing like it. I like them better
Texas Flag
Upside Down
The little men in charge of
flying the flags are living in; an
upside world.
For the past two weeks the
Texas flag, flown in front of
the Administratiort Building, has
been upside down.
What would the forefathers
of the state say about this?
What would Sully have to say?
A patriotic student from B
Artillery was reported to have
stood at the flag pole’s base for
hours yesterday with a large tub.
He was afraid the upside down
star might fall out of the blue
field.

than any paintings I’ve seen.”
Students, professors, and even
little children gaze at the pictures
with interest. Ernest Langford,
head of the architectural depart
ment, said, “Most magnificent
paintings I’ve seen.” P. B. Goode,
Proffessor Business Administra
tion, said, “I like ’em.”
Gained World Recognition
The 32 masterpieces of “In Our
Image” have gained world recog
nition because of their realistic
expressions, color, detail, and above
all the touch of the artist. Rowe
visualized his conception of the
characters in the* Old Testament.
People don’t just walk by this
art collection. They stay, study, and
shake their heads with amazement.
G. A. Pratt, senior from San An
tonio, said, “They are realistic
without a doubt.” B. R. Bennett,
senior from Sweetwater, said,
“Pretty colorful, lots of age in hu
man beings.” J. E. Adams, Prof
essor of Agronomy, said, “They
are marvelous pictures.”
Nine year old Bob Fitts from
College Station, leaned his nose
against the glass and said, “I think
they’re really all right.”
Rowe painted clear images, im
ages he studied for years to ob
tain. He began these paintings in
1945 and completed them in, 1949.
Artist Rowe studied the Bible
thoroughly, read and re-read it,
and he himself said, “Before I did
these paintings, I was a nominal
Christian. But now I hope to de
vote the rest of my life to reli
gious art.”

DeWerth Says
Bottles Not
Thrown Away
Men in the campus grounds '
department do not throw soft
drink bottles away when they
are picked up, A. F. DeWerth,
head of the Landscape depart
ment told The Battalion yesterday. I
DeWerth was questioned on the
bottle pick up after rumors went
out among the student body say
ing the grounds men picked up
the bottles and threw them away.
The head of the department said
the men cleaning the campus would
gather the bottles and put them
under the trees for the local bottl
ing companies to pick up. How
ever, he said, “If they are not
picked up by the bottling company
within a reasonable time we do
throw them away. We give the
company every opportunity to pick
them up.”
Dr. E. B. Evans Honored
New Prairie View Building
Named After Its President
Highway Cash
Big Problem
For Legislature
Finding revenues to maintain
Texas highways will be problem
facing the new state legislature
when it convenes in January.
State Senator William R. Moore
from Bryan told members of the
College Station Kiwanis Club Mon
day part of the problem was caus
ed by legislation which increased
truck load limits from 48,000
pounds to 58,000 pounds.
“The state spends about $119
millions annually for the main
tenance of highways, which is
about $100 millions short of what
is needed,” the senator asserted.
Senatorial redistricting was ex
plained by Moore who emerged
from the last congressional session
representing District 11 instead of
District 14.
The law requires senatorial and
representative districts be formed
following every national census.
The bill providing for new repre
sentative districts failed to pass;
however, senatorial districts were
reformed.
Under the new plan Central and
North Texas lost four senators,
West gained one, and South Texas
gained two senators. Moore attri
buted this to a shift in population
since the last redistricting.
Dr. E. B. Evans, who has served
Prairie View A&M College 33
years and now is president of the
institution, was honored today
when the board of directors of the
A&M System named the new Prai
rie View animal industries build
ing for him.
The board order which named
the new building said, “Dr. E. B.
Evans . . . has worked unselfishly
for the betterment of the institu
tion and its service to the Negroes
of Texas.
Recognizes Outstanding Service
“The board of directors of the
Texas A&M College System recog
nizes his as an outstanding service,
not only to the Prairie View A&M
College, but to the State of Texas
as well. In recognition of his lead
ership in education and particu
larly to his outstanding service
to Prairie View A&M College, it
is ordered that the agriculture
building just completed be named
in his honor as the ‘E. B. Evans
Animal Industries Building’ and
that a bronze plaque bearing this
name he placed on the building.”
In recommending that the build
ing be so named, Chancellor Gibb
Gilchrist said, “Ordinarily I do not
think it a good idea to name a
building for a living person, but
there are times when the exception
rather than the rule should be
adopted . . . Under the leadership
of Dr. Evans, Prairie View has be
come a moving, vital force in
Negro education in the United
States. He has made the school an
important cog in the A&M Sys
tem ...”
During his 33 years at Prairie
View, Dr. Evans has served as act
ing principal, acting registrar, co
ordinator of instruction, director
of summer school and acting di
rector of the division of agricul
ture.
Born in Jackson County, Mo.,
in 1894, he was reared in Texas.
He was one of the first Negro
graduates of Iowa State College,
receiving a doctor of veterinary
medicine degree in 1918. He also
was one of the first Negroes in
the nation to be elected to Phi
Kappa Phi, national honorary
scholarship society.
Commissioned a second lieuten
ant during World War I, he was
a member of the Officers Reserve
Corps for a number of years.
Dr. Evans did graduate study at
Iowa State College. He was vice
principal of Prairie View from
1931 to 1945. He was one of the
founders of the Southwestern Ath
letic Conference in 1920, and in
1935, he and other athletic offi
cials of the Negro colleges! in the
Southwest founded the Coaches and
Officials Association. Dr. Evans
served as secretary-treasurer of
the group until 1945,
Highest Boy Scout Award
He headed the F. E. R. A. Adult
Education Summer School at Prai
rie View in 1935, when 600 teach
ers received their initial training
in the field. For 10 years Dr.
Evans headed the Boy Scout Cam-
poral at Prairie View, and during
that time attendance grew from
less than 50 to 510. During the last
year, he received the Silver Ante
lope, highest award of the Boy
Scouts of America, for his disting
uished service to boyhood.
In a recent meeting of the Asso
ciation of Negro Land Grant Col
lege presidents in Washington, D.
C., Dr. Evans was elected vice
president of the national organiza
tion.
Dr. and Mrs. Evans have two
children, a son and a daughter.
Their son, Edward, Jr., has served
as an instructor at Texas State
University, Houston.
