MIDTERM ELECTION
California Voters Lean Democratic
Gov. Edmund G (Pat) Brown seemed to be strengthening his lead over Republican candidate Richard M. Nixon early this morning as precinct tabulations trickled into vote totalizers.
After gaining a 113,746' vote margin, Brown had

Even before a trend had begun to develop, an RCA computer and political analysts had predicted that Brown would be the victor.

Tickets for the drawing were sold Friday at Troy Jubilee by women living in residence halls.
Contest rules were designed so that the woman selling the winning ticket would win a date for dinner and to see “Under the Yum Yum Tree” at the Las Palmas Theater with Del Conte, while the woman who bought the winning ticket would receive a new football autographed by members of the football team.

Miss Barton, who bought 29 tickets, both sold and bought the winning ticket.

The drawing was part of the AWS Spirit Booth activities at Troy Jubilee. Eight-hundred-fifty tickets were sold at 10 cents each during Homecoming week.
The drawing was held at the AWS meeting Monday at the International Student House. Profits from the drawing will go to help finance an AWS Handbook.
Dorm Activity
“The activity was held to get ¡more women living in dormi-Jtories active in AWS,” AWS President Pris Holbert said. She hopes that events such as this will help dormitory women feel more a part of the group.
The AWS Handbook is a guidebook to help orientate new women students at USC. The handbook was distributed to all new' women students this year. AWS officers hope the books will be mailed to students with their acceptance letters next year.
Etiquette, study hints and campus attractions are covered in the book. A list of helpful hints on dress and of places to go in the Los Angeles area is included.
Teacher Tells Art Problem To Students
The modem artist is difficult to understand because he tries to identify with man on a high plateau rather than painting by set rules, Edgar L. Ewing, professor of fine arts, said yesterday.
Speaking at a Troeds meeting yesterday, Ewing explained modem art by quoting Wilhelm De Kooning, an American painter in New York.
Modern Art
He said De Kooning feels modem art is a farce in that it is willing to poke fun at it self. Although many people interpret modem art as ridiculing the painted object, this is not the case. Modem art merely ridicules art itself, Ewing explained.
“The nature of painting is both constant and ever-changing,” Ewing said. “Painting doesn’t advance but is relative to the time and character of the period.”
He pointed out that early Academician painters had to paint by set rules and they had little room to interpret life as they saw it.
Their paintings were highly romantic and idealistic. How ever, Ewing emphasized that these paintings were not illustrations of life.
Impressionists
The first group to revolt against planned painting were the Impressionists, Ewing said. They planned their pictures carefully by making preliminary drawings, but, unlike the Academicians, their paintings were not photographs, but portraits of objects as they saw them.
The later Impressionists made the study of art “an act of discovery for the observer,” Ewing said.
“The Impressionists painted not only the subject, but also the background, using color throughout the entire painting,” he said.
Color Technique
One of the inventions of the Impressionists that paved the way for modem art was the juxtaposed color. Ewing compared this technique to little points of color placed side by side.
“The Impressionists gave the artist freedom from technique,” he said.
Ewing recently received the top purchase price of $1,500 for one of his paintings at the Los Angeles All-City Outdoor Art Festival.
He has been with the department of fine arts since 1946. He studied drawing and painting at the Art Institute in Chicago.

The effect of Stop Gap Theater’s production “The Visit” proves to be one of fright and penetration.
The drama is quite long, done in three acts, and handles many difficult and involved ideas of plot and character very well. Although the play uses a modern setting, the timelessness of the theme is always in evidence.
The play centers around Claire Zachanassian, an aging woman of unlimited wealth who returns to Gullen, the town of her birth. Hoping to receive a large endowment, the townspeople laud her as the returning heroine, never questioning her purpose for this visit.
The entourage this austere

Juxtaposed against Claire is Anton Schill, her old lover. As Anton meets her again, he has reached the zenith of his life with his appointment as Burgomaster for the spring term.
The dinner given by the townspeople to honor Mme. Zachanassian turns out to be the central hinge of the play, and in 1 his scene all the pieces fall into place. Item by item her strange entourage is explained, and finally she offers the moribund town a conditional gift—one billion marks for the death of her lover and betrayer, Anton Schiil.
