The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas PAGE 2 Thursday, October 18, 1956 M. M. Engle Collection On Exhibition in MSC On Campus with Max Qhvhm (Author of "Barefoot Boy With. Cheek,” etc.) A private collection of paintings, belonging to Michael M. Engel, well-known columnist and art crit- is, is now being shown in the Me morial Student Center by the Cre ative Arts Group. Included in this unusual collec tion of art are paintings of 62 noted artists. “These paintings differ from the usual,” said Dave Morris, gi-oup chairman. “Not only for their creative work, but the paint ings are executed on the artists’ pallette with the artists’ personal selection of colors.” Engel has developed a personal idea in contacting noted artists and arranging to have these works become a part of his collection. “His idea perhaps sprang from his interest in the field of Public Relations,” said Morris. ^ STUDYING CAN BE BEAUTIFUL What's Cooking Is studying bugging you? Do you have trouble re membering names, datesr facts, figui'es, and the location of the library? Dear friends, it need not be so. All you have to do is master the simple art of mnemonics. Mnemonics, as we all know, was invented by the great Greek philosopher Mnemon in 526 B.C. Mnemonics, in cidentally, was only one of the many inventions of this fertile Athenian. He is perhaps best known for his in vention of the staircase, which, as you may imagine, was of inestimable value to mankind. Before the staircase, people who wished to go from floor to floor had to leap from springboards. This meant, of course, that aged and infirm persons were forced to live out their lives, willy- nilly, on the ground floor, and many of them grew cross as bears. Especially Demosthenes, who was elected con sul of Athens three times but never served because he was unable to get up to the office of the commissioner of oaths on the third floor to be sworn in. But after Mnemon’s staircase was invented, Demos- tlrenes got up to the third floor easy as pie and took the oath—to Athens’ sorrow, as it turned out. Demosthenes, his temper shortened by years of confinement to the ground floor, soon embroiled his countrymen in a series of senseless and costly wars with the Persians, the Visigoths, and the Ogallala Sioux. He was voted out of office in 517 B.C., and Mnemon, who had made his accession pos sible, was pelted to death with fruit salad in the Duomo. But I digress. We were discussing mnemonics, which are nothing more than aids to memory — catchwords or jingles that help you to remember names, dates, and places. For example, any student of American history surely knows the little jingle: Columbus sailed the ocean blue In fourteen hundred ninety tivo. You see how simple a mnemonic is? There is no rea son why you can’t make up your own. Say, for instance, that you are proceeding with American history. The Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock £ In sixteen hundred tiventy, doc. (This jingle is especially useful to medical students.) The next important event is the Boston Tea Party. Let us compose a rough-and-ready couplet about that: Samuel Adams flung the tea Into the briny Zuyder Zee. You can see how simple and useful they are — not only for history, but also for current events. For instance. The following organizations will meet tonight: 7:30 'Anderson County Hometown Club will meet in room 126 of the Academic Building. Northeast Texas Hometown Club will meet in room 203 of the Aca demic Building. Waco-McLennan Comity Club will meet in the YMCA. A foot ball film will be shown.

When arrangements were made to display this collection in the MSC, Engel asked Mrs. Emalita, Terry, Advisor to Creative Arts Group of the MSC, personally to contribute a similar work to his colection.
