Student Artists Display Modern Touch in Drawings By Adela The clever coiners of the word swing would probably be amazed if they were to visit the annual eighth-floor exhibit of the art department which is displaying as cue of its attractions original, imag inative textile designs. In the art show hangs Dorothy Kull- nians' Swing Sardines, which has caught the spirit of Spring, 1937. ( lose by hang Clowing, by Maurita Kelly, Crazy Cot- lage Quill Print by Grace Igleski, and Lucille Palmgren's Top of the Town.

This group also includes composition based upon Puritan pioneer life in early New England. Lorraine Prendergast has depicted a Puritan maid and chickens.

The commercial sketches produced by members of the art department arc really professional in touch. Included in these are designs for bids, book jackets, and advertising layouts. One of the new techniques for illus tration is scratch-point, black and white drawings which resemble wood cuts.
