Leighton's killer whale mural
sparks no fear of devourment
By JOCK HATFIELD
Of the Emerald
Swimmers at Leighton Pool will have to watch
out for the pools latest addition — a killer whale
But this whale is not likely to devour any stu
dents. It is part of an 88-foot long mural begun last
Wednesday by the art department "I've been
trying to get something like this mural for seven
years," said Jim Willis, pool director. "It's just
beautiful."
Willis calls the whale "my mural and claims full
credit for its production. “Last quarter during prac
tice I spotted an art class sitting on the bleachers
drawing swimmers," he said. "I ran over and told
the teacher I wanted a mural for one of my walls,
and we set up production."
Cheryl Bowers, the art teacher in charge of the
project, said the mural is only about one-fourth
completed At present, the whale, done in black
and white against a blue water background, cov
ers the top one-fourth of the pool s shallow-end
wall. The rest of the design, according to Bowers,
is still a mystery.
“We want the mural to be a surprise," she said.
“It adds to the final effect."
Bowers describes the tone of the painting as
"eastern." The mural is not planned to cover the
entire wall, she said, because of coming changes
on the lower half, which would disturb the paint
ing.
All of the work on the mural is done by Bower’s
class, which meets three times a week to do the
painting The whale was finished in a matter of
days; however, Bowers said it will be four to five
weeks before the rest of the mural is completed
The subject for the mural was also decided by
students. All I told them was that I didn t want
swimmers, said Willis "We see enough swim
mers around here already without having them on
the walls." Bowers said her class thought the
whale would make an interesting subject
In real life the male killer whale averages 31 feet
in length, making the Leighton whale seem com
paratively small It has 40 to 50 large teeth and is
capable of attacking almost anything in water,
including other whales It is one of the few species
of whales not presently on the endangered
species list
Willis said the mural is part of his overall plan to
brighten up the pool area
"When I came here seven years ago this place
was just gray," he said, gesturing toward the pool
walls. “I put up all these slogans and banners "
"It was a lot of work getting people together
Even after I had gotten the class to do the work, I
had to get the scaffolding and order the paint I
didn't even try to get consent from the physical
plant because I knew they wouldn't get things
going until next year," Willis said
Student reaction to the project has been good,
according to Willis. "My mural is something
everybody can enjoy, not just swimmers," he
said. "We need more of this type of thing all over

Heating prices
double by ’85
WASHINGTON (AP) — You
may think your home heating bill
this winter is too high, but the Fed
eral Energy Administration (FEA)
predicts it will nearly double by
1985.
Most of the increase will be due
to inflation, the FEA said Wed
nesday, forcing prices up some
58.4 per cent.
On top of that, the FEA esti
mated that residential energy
prices — a weighted average of
natural gas, fuel oil, electricity and
motor gasoline — will increase an
estimated 24 per cent.
