design are tackled with vigor. The practice and theory for students ot the department sup- plements the cultural lite of the college by presenting series ot exhibitions, in the library, of works lent by various museums and colleges. Practicing as well as presenting the latest theories in artistic trends are popular professors Charles Dietz and William Faddis. New on campus this year, Mr. Dietz is chairman of the department. He teaches drawing and painting, art history, and designing. lntensively interested in music, he enioys playing the accordion and listening to his fine collection ot records. Most ot his spare time this year was devoted to painting a portrait ot Prexy. Mr. Faddis, one- time iui-iitsu instructor, now teaches the art sections of the Fine Arts Survey, interior decor- ating and design, commercial art, and many other phases. A moot question is whether his iui-iitsu training or his collegiate training will be most helpful in rearing his two husky sons. .pd WILLIAM G.

CHARLES L. DIETZ A.B., Ohio Wesleyan, Carnegie Institute of Technology. ART Aside from infirmary patients, the only people who walk past the TUB in that direction are art students. They walk through the doors of this war surplus building into a creative world all their own. Donning aprons, smocks, or old clothes, they wend their way through a mass of paint, clay, easels, stools, models, other artists, and elementary education stu- dents. They seek out their respective master- pieces, gaze fondly at them, and begin another afternoon art lab. Everywhere students are working with charcoals and water colors, building model houses, molding plaster-of- paris figures and paper mache creations, or painting with oil colors. Students seeking a well rounded introduc- tion into all art techniques and a background in art history find that this department can give them the answers. Elementary and ad- vanced courses in drawing and design in all the various media. Problems in sculpture, in- terior decoration, commercial and costume PORTRAIT OF PREXY SCHOLARSHIP OR JIU JITSU

ANCIENT LANGUAGES Did you say a translation of Seneca' letters? Or would you rather read from Livy or Curtius Rufus? Any Greek student would be glad to help you with Xenophon, Herodotus, or Homer. These mysterious ancient languages which are Hall Greek to most of us become familiar courses to any of the students in the Ancient Language department. Dr. Gilbert Taylor reigns alone in the Greek and Latin empire at Westminster. His pre-ministerial Greek students find him well-informed on his middle-of-the road theology. This many-sided professor speaks several modern languages fluently, in addition to his knowledge of the ancient tongues. He is currently mastering the Russian language. Dr. Taylor, a Phi Beta Kappa man, makes our ancient language department vital and valuable. Applying his keen intellect to all phases of his life, Dr. Taylor is an excellent chess player and possesses a fine sense of humor. GRECO COUNTER GAMBIT DECLINED GILBERT H.
