About 20 paintings will be exhibited by the Job Corps vocational art student. Job Corpsman to Exhibit Paintings in Student Union TONGUE POINT (Special)— About 20 paintings by Tongue Point Corpsman Paul McCas kill, will be hung in a one-man show opening July 5 at the Uni versity Student Union gallery. The exhibition, sponsored by the Student Union Board, will remain up until July 29. The 20-year-old high school dropout from Perrine, Fla., has sometimes working all night to achieve the results he wants. He received a great amount of at tention from both art critics and Job Corps officials in Washing ton, D.C., who feel he has an amazing amount of talent for a man so young. Dale Owen, head of Tongue Point’s art department, has stat ed that in his 30 years of teach ing art, he has had “many tal ented and gifted students, but few have shown so early the pro fessional level and understand ing that Paul exhibits.” McCaskill is a prolific painter, primarily works on 4 x 4-foot masonite, mainly with inks, glue, and caseins. On some of h i s paintings, he has achieved a “dribble” effect by using these Girl Receives Kerns Scholarship Gwyneth Pieta Jones, senior in art education at the University, has been awarded the Maude I. Kerns scholarship award in art education. The Maude I.

"Painting comes naturally to Paul,’’ one of the Job Corps art instructors said. “His works seem to be the result of a keen intelligence and strong desire.” “I have always considered art to be the profession I wanted,” McCaskill says. Like many youths who enter the Job Corps, McCaskill has his share of personal problems. He completed the ninth grade before quitting school (he is now working toward a GED cer tificate—the equivalent of a high school diploma) and found him self drifting through a number of jobs, poorly paid, which seemed to be leading nowhere. He became interested in the Job Corps program because, he said, "Nobody wants to be a drifter all his life. The Job Corps gives you something to look forward to.” Five Groups Leave For Research Abroad Five groups of graduate stu dents and faculty from the Uni versity will leave this month for overseas research training pro jects supported by the Institute of International Studies.
