The tickets were given start ing Monday. Although Throckmorton street was never officially opened to stu dent parking, no tickets have been given to students parking there be cause of the lack of parking space on the campus, the campus security office said. There are more cars on the cam pus this year then last, campus security said. Thorckmorton street is too nar row for two-way traffic and for parking on each side, campus security said. At the beginning of the semester, campus security hoped that plans for a new parking area would be completed soon. However, no de finite parking area has been de cided on yet.

By CHUCK NEIGHBORS Battalion Managing Editor An exhibit of paintings by Perry Nichols opened yesterday in the Memorial Student Center. Nichols is the v/inner of the pur chase proze in the Texas exhibit at this year’s state fair. The purchase prize, which is the grand prize, was presented to Nichols for his painting of a red Chinese chess queen; it is titled “The Red Queen.” “Pear and Apple” is one of the outstanding paintings in the group displayed in the main showcase in the post office lobby. Done in a modern style known as “trompe 1’oeil” (“fools the eye”), pear, apple and a glass ap pear in nearly three-dimensional quality against a pitch black back ground. Another “trompe” picture is “Lustre Pitcher,” which features a gold pitcher and a realistic in terpretation of an oyster shell. The trompe style is relatively new, Nichols said. It began in France. Of the 12 paintings in the show, two are in tempera. The rest are done in oils. One of the two tempera paint ings, “Gateway,” is a powerful rendition of a mountain pass. The other, “Glacier,” depicts the white force of a glacier. “Old Willows” is a large paint ing of a farm scene and plains. An oil, it is hung in the main show case. i A picture which has a great deal of emotional feeling is “Lonesome Spot,” a view of a lone tree stand ing by itself on top of a ridge. In Directories to Be Published Soon Student directories will probably be ready by the second week in November. The faculty section is finished and is being checked. The student name section is now being typed. Two persons have been working fulltime for two weeks on the stu dent section. Carl Jobe, student publications manager, said the directory is late because of the many dormitory changes of students. The directories will cost 50 cents and will be distributed at the stu dent activities office Jobe said. Student Senate Plans Evaluation The Student Senate set up its self-evaluation Committee recent ly- Chairman of the group is Bill Reed. Reed is also the chairman of the Senate representative to the Student Life Committee. Members of the group are Reed, Don Sheffield, Larry Hoffman, Frank Ford, Gil Stribling, Jan Broderick and Larry Kennedy. the background are plains and hills. An oil with a pleasant tone is “Red Bluffs,” showing a line of deep red bluffs silhouetted against the sky. An orchard is in the fore ground. Most of the paintings in this group are fairly recent. Although he has had no formal art education, Nichols has esta blished himself in Southwestern art circles as a mural and land scape artist. Nichols lives with his wife and three sons in an ultra - modern house which he built himself north of Dallas. “I even put in the wiring and plumbing,” Nichols said. The house ^is unconventional in that it has a tree growing up the middle of it and has a circular center, built around the tree. Born in Dallas 42 years ago, Nichols has lived in that city all his life. Formerly head of the art depart ment at Hockaday college, he now teaches private art classes at his studio. He has won prizes at the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts. The museum owns four of Nichols’ paintings. Nichols is fond of tempera as an art medium and has done many pictures of horses in that type of paint. He says he still experiments quite a bit with new methods and styles of painting such as the trompe Toiel. Nichols has painted around 400 murals in Southwestern cities and towns. He did the mural of the history of the Dallas Morning News in the News building lobby in Dallas. The mural in the Sears, Roe buck company building in Dallas was also done by Nichols. He teaches four classes of about 25-30 students. In fact, that’s how the MSC art gallery committee got in touch with Nichols. The mother of Jules Vieaux, the chairman of the art gallery com mittee, is one of Nichols’ students. Studying under Nichols for three years, Mrs. Vieaux is “one of my best students,” he says. Nichols is the son of W. L. Nichols ’91. His father helped orga nize the Ross Volunteers, known at that time as the Scott Volunteers. WTAW Continues Religious Program “Aggie Gospel Time,” a weekly radio program, is continuing from last year its series of inspirational programs each Sunday at 9:30 a. m. * r According to Walt Puniphery, director of the program, its goal is to bring each student to a fuller realization of the values of Chris tian living. This is done through the presentation of song, testi- nionies, and devotions by Students. The program is handled entirely by students. • Oct. 16—North American Avia tion, Inc. of Downey, Calif., will interview mid-term graduates in physics, chemistry, electrical, me chanical, civil, chemical and aero- 4autical engineering at all degree levels.
