Tickets Given
For Parking
On Street
Parking tickets are being
given to students parking-
cars on Throckmorton street.
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.
THE CHAMP—Bucky Zeitler,
17, of La Feria, is the champ
ion cotton grower among boys
of the lower Rio Grande Val
ley. He produced an -average

on a two-acre plot to win the

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.

According to Walt Puniphery,

tian living. This is done through
the presentation of song, testi-
nionies, and devotions by Students.
The program is handled entirely
by students.
