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.

It’s the cigarette that clicks!
What, you ask, is the cigarette that clicks? Why,
Philip Morris, of corris! And why shouldn’t it click?
Could any cigarette be more pleasing to the palate? No!
Could any cigarette be more tempting to the taste buds?
No! A thundering, thumping, resounding no! Get some
today, hey. You’ll see.

WHO
An Art Advisor to the Florida
Instructional Art Exhibition at
Lakeland, Fla., Engel was founder
of the Audubon Artists, Inc. and
is presently a director of Art Re
search for M. Grumbacher, a sup
plier of artist’s materials.
Engel lectures on art subjects
relating to contemporary Ameri
can art and is at work on a book
relating to this subject.
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. She consented to do so
and her painting joined the collec
tion “with the paint still wet.”
Other activities of the group in
clude the attendance of nine mem
bers and associate members at the
12th annual River Arts Show in
San Antonio. Two winners in this
show were Emalita Terry, second
place with a free composition, and
Ruth Mogford with a still life.
