Organizational Dinner Held By Art Students HUNGRY ARTISTS . . . pictured above are members of the newly organized Concordia art club during: the pot luck supper meeting which launched their new venture Tuesday. Ed. Note: The gentle-man making away with TWO scoops of Ice cream 1B none other than Mr. Cy Running, art club advisor. The seeds of a long needed so-ciety of Cobber art students were sown Tuesday evening at a pot-luck dinner planned by Miss Strand, Mr. Running and several students. Because of the division of art classes between Old Library and Cobber hall, a situation has arisen that is not desirable in the eyes of any of the students of art. Before this much needed ad-dition of space was realized, the novice could gain considerable Inspiration simply by crossing a hall and gazing In awe at those who through many hours of toll, had gained the exalted title of advanced students. Therefore, the art department has lost through its gain. The Tuesday meeting, however, may well destroy that loss. Already a committee h.is been formed which has for its duty to draw up a ten-tative set of qualifications neces-sary for membership and to de-cide just what the object of the society shall be. From the great enthusiasm shown by the many who attended the dinner it is very likely that soon the art students will be able to discuss problems of fellowship together in an organization such as those we associate with phi-losophy and science. SECOND SEMESTER CLASS SCHEDULE NOW POSTED Carl R, Narveson, registrar, announces that the schedule of classes for next semester will be posted in his office to-day. AH students are urged to look at the schedule and report conflicts. Changes in the sched-ule can be made up to Nov. 21.
