Illinois Wesleyan University Vol. 61 Bloomington, Illinois, Wednesday, November 3, 1954 Illinois Wesleyan students are attending a forward and enter-prising school! This congratula-tory news was made known by President Holmes in his annual report to the Joint Board of Trustees of Illinois Wesleyan uni-versity on October 26. President Holmes cited an in-crease in student enrollment from 701 last year to 916 this year as evidence of the increas-ing attention of faculty mem-bers to individual students and the efficient work of Lee Short and his staff in the Admissions department. The new faculty members were commended for strengthening the program of the University. President Holmes stated that they had measured up to the school's best expectations and that in every case they were well received by faculty associ-ates and by students. President Holmes accredited some of the unusually fine spirit on the campus to the use of William Edward Shaw hall and the announcement of the be-quest of Mrs. Blackstone, pro-viding some half million dollars of new assets to the endowment fund. Foresee Heavy Enrollment The Board of Trustees was ad-vised that it would need to study Organzred Nov. 4 As part of the fellowship move-ment initiated by President M. J. Holmes this year, Illinois Wes-leyan university invites all Cath-olic students to the first meeting of the Newman club at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, November 4, in the Faculty lounge. The purpose of the club will be; through parties, dances, and just plain socializing, to encour-age better fellowship among the Catholic students. The idea is not a new one. It was first intro-duced by Cardinal John Newman of New York, and since then it has spread with surprising suc-cess to campuses throughout the country. _Seventy-five students-aare reg-istered as Catholics here at Wes-leyan, and it is hoped that all of these and anyone else who might be interested will attend the first meeting Thursday and help elect officers and plan the organiza-tion of the club. Mrs. Horen-berger will act as faculty adviser for the club, and it will function under the sponsorship of Trinity Church of Bloomington. If the Catholic students Tup-port the Newman club, it will mark another step toward the goal of getting all the students at Wesleyan into religious clubs of their own denominations. We sincerely hope to see all you Catholics Thursday night. certain questions which would affect the future programs of the University. The president said that an approved maximum en-rollment at which the school would level off must be reached. L. L. Williams, secretary of the board, estimated that by 1971 the university enrollments of the state would be 223,100, or 96 per cent, more than in 1953-54. President Holmes pointed out that the capacity of the inde-pendent colleges to accept more students could make a consider-able difference in the programs of the state-controlled, tax-sup-ported institutions of the state for increasing their facilities. He emphatically declared that de-spite this large anticipated en-rollment the University would preserve the advantage of a close relationship between fac-ulty members and their students. Increased Facilities President Holmes then re-ferred to the facilities that would be needed in the way of build-ings, endowments, and annual gifts for the budget as the school moves toward this maximum en-rollment. He said that steps were already underway to provide for an additional dormitory for 125 men, an administration office building, and a Fine Arts audi-torium. He hinted that in the distant future Wesleyan students prob-ably could look forward to a women's gymnasium, a building for the School of Art, a chapel adequate to seat the entire stu-dent body, additions to the sci-ence building, and apartments for married students. A number of students were crestfallen to hear that no men-tion was made of the Grill. Deficit Spending It was disclosed that this year's revised budget needs $19,- 000 to be in balance, and that in two years' time there has been accumulated a deficit of almost $60,000. President Holmes indicated that L'though total expenses for the University have almost dou-bled during the last 10 years, cor-responding total student tuition fees have increased slightly more than one third. The president expressed hope that new assets for capital fund purposes would be forthcoming from individuals and foundations set up to aid education. Exchange Plan In conclusion, President Holmes recommended that the University enter into plans for tuition exchange with some 70 other colleges, whereby children of Wesleyan faculty members would be admitted to any one of these other institutions tuition-free. In return Wesleyan would admit children of staff members of other colleges listed in full tui-tion scholarships here. siner; Enrollllent Exp~ahied & d Film M okes ood Social S dy Students in the Labor Prob-lems and Introduction to 'Soci-ology classes taught by Clark H. Bouwman, assistant professor of sociology, attended a special matinee showing of the movie "On the Waterfront" this week. This film portrays some of the problems confronting both the laboring classes and those who "boss" them; the problems on the waterfront being realistically portrayed as they concern both sides of the situation. One of the students who saw the film said that the picture gave him a more graphic reali-zation of the many conflicts existing in the labor-manage-ment relationship.

Wesleyan Plays The fall meeting of the Na-tional Association of Intercolle-giate Athletics will be held here on November 7, according to Jack Horenberger, district chairman. District representatives in-clude Ralph Allan, Millikin; Les Belding, North Central; Harry Forrester, Quincy college; How-ard Hancock, ISNU; Sherrill Hanks, Shurtleff college; and James Collie, McKendree college. A meeting will be held in Feb-ruary to select the four teams to compete in the tourney, the win-ner of which will proceed to the finals at Kansas City. Arrangements will be made at the meeting for the state bas-ketball playoffs which will be held at Huff gymnasium at the University of Illinois the first week in March. T rrcphp - . d On October 19 and 26, Terra-pin club tryouts were held and we now have 12 new members. They are Sue Sarver, Betsy Woodman, Cindy Strasma, Sha-- ron Harper, Beverly Jirik, Lou Greeno, Carol Vanderbeck, Nan-cy Jo Figg, Gayle Stegman, Ann McCausland, Ellen Williams, and Judy Holtsberg. In Terrapinettes, we have eight new members: Diane Elias, Mary Ann Stanowicki, Barbara Snell, Judy Roesch, Shirley Trump, Ruth Reichert, Carol Krueger, and Ann Foster. Those members from Terrapin-ettes who have advanced to Ter-rapin are Gertrude Beck, Mar-garet Larson, Barbara Sandy, Mary Lou Ott, and Carol Har-bridge. Congratulations to all the girls who made Terrapin and Terra-pinettes. For those girls who did not make either group, a tryout will be held at the beginning of the second semester. Because practice for the show, which is held in March, will start soon after that time, a few additional requirements will be added, since time is limited. club on Tuesday evening, Octo-ber 19. Miss Ann Pigott was elect-ed club secretary for the coming school year. Miss Dorothy Hag-man, new English instructor at Wesleyan and teacher in Egypt for the past three years, shared some of her experiences with the group. The club was also very happy to have Mrs. Kollaritsch as its guest. Refreshments were served by the committee. Misses June Ray-mond and Ann Pigott presided at the table. campus next September. In his report to the Board of Trustees October 26, Presdent Holmes an-nounced that construction was expected to begin this Decem-ber, and that the dorm was to be finished by next fall in time for the opening of school. The cost of the four floors of the dorm will be approximately $400,000. The University hopes that part of this will be pro-vided for by gifts from friends, and the rest by financing. The student rents will help to pay off any financing and the rest will be paid out of University funds. FLOOR PLANS There will be a lounge on the first floor, as in Magill Hall, and a recreation room on the ground floor. Since the ground slopes on Franklin avenue, part of the ground floor will be below street level and part above. Room plans and fixtures will be much as they are in Magill Hall. The house mother will have a three room apartment on the first floor. Houses are already being re-moved to make room for the new University project. Coach Jack Horenberger's house was the first to be moved from its foun- Home Economics Cub Hods First eeti g The first meeting of the Illi-nois Wesleyan Home Economics club was held in the home eco-nomics department, October 26. The purpose of the meeting was to invite all those interested in home economics to become initi-ated into the college division of the American Home Economics association. Kay Major, president of the club, introduced the officers for the 1954-55 school year. Miss Nie-meyer, the club adviser, extend-ed her welcome to the group and told of her experiences in club work and its advantages. Kay Major and Pat Macy presented a skit portraying the year's pro-gram. Refreshments were served by the committee. An impressive initiation cere-mony wvas held for the 26 new members of Home Economics ter. Admission to University functions is by student iden-tification card only. The books on the floor in the hall basement of the library out in front of the Periodical- Reserve Reading room may be taken by any student who de-sires them. They are books that have been given to the library. However, will the students please have the books checked by Mr. Cain before taking them. from the building. FRESHMAN DORMI The plans of the administra-tion at this time are to make the new dorm a freshman dorm, while Magill will remain open to freshmen and other classes. The buildings that are also planned for in the future are a new ad-ministration building and a new Fine Arts building with an au-ditorium. Britsky Exp ains: Contemporary Artists raint Own Feelings The annual Art exhibit was held last Sunday afternoon. Mr. Nicholas Britsky, art instructor from University of Illinois, de-livered the gallery speech. Mr. Britsky's talk was on the confusion and complexness of contemporary painting. He stat-ed that paintings are such be-cause the contemporary artist paints what he feel,s not what he sees. USES ILLUSTRATIONS In his talk, Mr. Britsky used several illustrations to empha-size his point. A wealthy busi-ness man took this attitude, "After seeing those works of Dutch masters and other Euro-pean pieces, I should look at this trash?" A child came out with this summary of contemporary art, "I love the bright colors." Continuing, Mr. Britsky then summed up the illustrations. The average layman doesn't care for most contemporary paintings because he sees things differ-ently than the artist. In sum-ming up contemporary art, Mr. Britsky said he believed the main objective of the artist is to produce something beautiful. PERSONAL NOTES Mr. Britsky was born in the: Ukraine, and came to this coun.- try at the age of nine. He grad-uated from Yale, and then won a fellowship and spent a year abroad. At the present time, he is kept busy on the side design-ing and building his own house.
