M. today in I Young Demos Predict Win For Adlai t Troy Hyatt, president of the b university chapter of the Young d Democrats, struck an optimistic note as the campaign rolls into the t final week by predicting Stevenson would receive 276 electoral votes. I The key states, New York, Illi nois, and Pennsylvania, will be in the democratic column, Mr. Hyatt forecasted. He conceded the state of California to the Republicans.i The southern and border states ~ will be solidly behind Stevenson and Sparkman, he said.t Mr. Hyatt admitted Eisenhower i has more popularity with the uni- I versity students than Stevenson, r but claimed the General's sup porters were split between the In- t dependents and Republicans, giving I, the Young Democrats the greatest I strength on the campus. . This statement was backed upc by a straw poll conducted by the Euphradian Society, with the re sults printed in another newspaper. t In this poll Eisenhower had 67 r Independent votes and 38 Repub- b lican votes; Stevenson 86 votes. I The Young Democrats head took issue with this statement, saying that according to South Carolinar lawv Stevenson led.

Crlia hptretP *iy r ( .f to riht nF irmw riOaghr; adJt sty be (lmatn. rgh)n.nP Founded 1908 pie toVisit id Lecture Assembly Emily and William Muir, an artist couple from Maine, will visit the University Thursday and Friday of next week attending art classes and giving lectures. The couple will attend classes Thursday and Friday and give a combined lecture and display of their works Friday during the 10 a.m. chapel program. William is a specialist in the field of woodcarving and sculpture work. Most of his work is inspired by his study and observation of plant life. William .Muir is a native of North Dakota and studied at the Minneapolis School of Art and the Art Students League of New York. During World War II, William Muir's abilities in woodcarving were used by the United States Navy in the artificial leg depart ment. Emily Muir, a native of Chicago, Illinois studied art one year at Vassar College and then studied sculpture at the Art Students League of New Cork. Her portrait drawing and painting work was dons under Winold Reiss and Richard Lahey. Emily specializes in Maine coastal scenes, portrait heads, and children's portraits. She has held five one-man shows and exhibited her work at several universities and museums. In some of his lectures on wood carving, William Muir said, "In the first place, you've got to keep a good supply of wood on hand. This keeps your mind open and lets it grope for the possibilities hidden in each piece" d Emily agrees with her husband in the philosophy of art and says, "Practically any layman can be made aware of some of the beauty of nature, and by knowing how to observe the manifestations of form, composition, and color, he will appreciate a little more what he sees and hears. I do not agree for a minute that you better not paint at all unless you can paint well. It's much better to produce something than nothing. Any per son's best is not worthless." Since their marriage in 1928 the Muirs have traveled the West Indies, Guianas, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. These trips were made for the purpose of executing paintings and dioramas for steamship companies and travel bureaus. The Muirs have combined fine art with commercial art.
