BERNARD SCHWARTZ EDITOR'S NOTE: Bernard Schwartz, Assistant Professor, School of Art, Ohio State, will edit this monthly fea- ture on activities of NAEA's Student Membership Program. Information on chapter activities should be sent to Dr. Schwartz at Ohio State University.

Assistance for this, the first

monthly column devoted to the NAEA Student Movement, came from several SMP chapter advis- ors throughout the country. Chap- ters now exist on 33 U.S. college and university campuses with over 813 student NAEA members en- rolled. This month's column re-

ports the activities of only a few

campus chapters, but it is hoped that important activities of all 33 chapters will be featured some- time during the 1964-65 publica- tion year. Much appreciation is extended to chapter sponsors who have helped in the preparation of this first issue.

East Tennessee State Univer- sity, Johnson City, Ruth E. Har- ris, Advisor. The ETSU chapter of 28 student members meets twice each quarter. The last meet-

ing was an evening program with a producing craftsman associated with the American's Craftsmen's Council, who discussed the activi- ties of the American Craftsmen's Council and her work as a pro- ducing craftsman. A demonstra- tion of the craft of spinning high- lighted the program. Patricia Johnston is chapter president.

Florida State University, Talla- hassee, Fred W. Metzke, Advisor. Each member of this chapter has the responsibility of dedicating some of his time toward the pro- motion of art education in the

community. Monies received from chapter activities goes into a schol- arship fund for students. In March the chapter participated in the University Arts Festival, and in April students attended the

SAA convention in Nashville, Tennessee.

George Peabody College for Teachers, Nashville, Tennessee, August Freundlich, Advisor. Monthly meetings consisting of dinner, a business meeting, and a planned program has been the pattern developed by this chapter. Programs of an eventful year in- cluded: visits to homes of promi- nent art collectors in Nashville to see collections and to learn about the art of collecting art; symposi- ums including art teachers, super- visors, and art professors discus- sing current issues in art educa- tion; lectures by noted scholars from related disciplines; and a Christmas card sale to raise schol-

arship funds. Last year's card fea- tured a reproduction of a 16th century Van der Wyden painting from the Peabody Museum collec- tion. A group of advanced degree chapter members completed a tour of important art departments and public school systems repre- senting a cross-section of current ideas and practices in art educa- tion in the South.

North Texas State University, Denton, Richard H. Laing, Ad- visor. Things can be expected to come big in Texas. Mr. Laing writes that NTSU has the largest group of art education majors as well as the largest teacher educa- tion program in Texas. SMP chapter activities include studio visits to handweaving craftsmen and to sculptors using welding techniques and the lost wax proc- ess of bronze casting; sponsor- ship of a show of art works by non-art majors preparing for teaching at the elementary school level; and attendance at a state art education association meet- ing. Future events include gallery trips to Dallas-Fort Worth and a

film festival.

Northern State Teachers Col- lege, Aberdeen, South Dakota, Mrs. Carl Schwarz, Advisor. This highly active SMP chapter meas- ures its program in terms of the quality of its contribution to the community and the profession. The chapter has already earned a respected position on campus. Four NSTC members took part in a half-hour TV program con- cerning the contributions of art to the educative process. SMP stu- dents this year, have conducted art activities for members from the State School for the Blind and regularly prepare displays for the art gallery and for local offices and banks. A rather elaborate ceremony for initiating members has been developed by the chap- ter including a chapter history, colors, purposes, candle lighting ceremony, and membership rib- bons.

The Ohio State University, Co- lumbus, Bernard Schwartz, Advi- sor. The Ohio State chapter draws members from a large enrollment in the art education area of The School of Art. A vigorous cam- paign to inform new art educa- tion majors of the chapter and to recruit memberships began in the early part of the spring quarter. The informal atmosphere of a spring picnic helped members be- come better acquainted with one another and with the faculty. An examination of the art of the film and film-making possibilities for the public school art program, and a talk entitled "Will You Be Qualified to Teach Art?" by the director of the fine arts of the Columbus public school system were featured programs. Rachel Hickman, Susan Emerick, and Vivian Stevens serve as officers in the chapter's first year.
