Longinan oi the University of California at Los Angeles, lectured Tuesday eve- ning in Roberts theatre on “The Causes of Recent Trends in Art..”i Dr. Longman is a graduate ofl Oberlin College and has done graduate work at Princeton. He has studied under the Carnegie foundation and has headed the art department at the Unll‘el'r sity of lowa. . There are three basic move- ments of art, says Longinan: the abstract expressionism, the art, of the contemporary image andl the neordada gesture, , Art of the abstract expres» é sionis class includes such works l as would result from putting paint on the bottom of auto mobile tires or putting paint on the soles of shoes. Such a i work can be termed a ”life- 3 less document or a moment of real living." Art of the contemporary image stresses the gruesome and more bid. One such obiect “Woman_ out of Fire” is made of rooting, cement, Longman says, howevem that a certain charm can be de tected in the horrible. I THE PRINCIPLE of neo—dada as rusty forks and spoons or the arms and legs ot dolls are often used in works of this kind. Such recent trends in art are overrated says Longman. The first of his objections to these trends is the element of con— formity. Just as beatniks choose to rebell in the same manner; so artists rebell in the same man- ner. “If an artist wants to get anywhere, he has to fit into these particular states Longman, Second. he finds iaults with the fact that there is a move— ment in only one direction: leaving out what used to be included. Progress has meant leaving more things out, This hogan by leaving out the sub- ject matter and it has even gone so far as to leave out the (mm or the title. The pro» lem is that if one urges put- ting more into the work, he is considered reactionary. Third. Longman questions a tendency to reductionism which he terms a “nothingsbut princi— ple.” This tendency reduces all personality to its smallest come ponents — the result being an movements,"X Fea’rure dance of Philippines , 9H t A night or audience-partici» lpation folk dancing will he ,sponsored by the Cosmopolitan Club Saturday, in the Arena Theatre at a pm.

THE SENATE passes upon legislative amendments to rules for student conduct A result of this, stated Dean Gardner is that the men can now vote on wo- men's rules.
