They represent a time when art was found in the doing, not in the watching It's a revival of art for fun A computer can be pro grammed to draw a picture, but it's not art. (Thus, 'computer art' is a contradiction.) Art is the one thing that separates cultured human beings from barbarians Big Macs and Pepsi-Cola may be culture, but they're not Cul ture Our campus jugglers, in con tinuing an ancient and honored art, are turning their backs on our computer chip society in favor of a time when the creative force meant making something from nothing A mime has one element, himself A storyteller, his memories A juggler picks up a few objects and is a performer. I only wish I could do it. Counterpoint: This issue of Distractions is devoted to Christmas, or what in my house we used to irreverently call "December gift giving.” Every year millions of people struggle to spend millions of dollars on millions of gifts This year, as many of us remain frozen in the depression, buying gifts becomes more of a struggle than ever Erich Fromm wrote that the most loving thing one can do is not give a gift, but receive a gift with love. Let's look at that a different way: Don’t buy a gift, make one Hold it Forget the stitched leather wallet and all that other arts and crafts crap. I’m talking Art Like juggling, Art is in the doing Like juggling, in order to jkofflaSB L C D QUARTZ DIGITAL PEN WATCH 5 function, shows hour, minutes, seconds, month and date Ideal for knowing the time or date when writing letters, checks or timing meetings Gift boxed for gift giving By Goldberg SUPER PRICE Hours/ Minutes 499 Ik, STICK-ON . . .

Art is made by humans Humans are imperfect It follows Some suggestions: a carica ture, a photo, an illustrated bit of writing, a song composed just for the occasion, a children’s story, an IOU for a gourmet meal. Make your own list Person alize it. Then juggle. It's the juggler in us that makes us create Then create It's the creator in us that makes us juggle Bean Continued from Page 9B and in an emergency, the stylish edible moccasin You needn’t be on Bean's mailing list to appreciate "Items From Our Catalog,'' but it helps. Much of the pleasure is derived from the careful reproduction of writing style and tone Nevertheless, Gingold has put together a masterful piece of humor So many attempts at print comedy today are either scatalogical or hyped up re productions of cute cat comic strips. "Items From Our Catalog'' takes on a venerable institution and gently tweaks its nose. It is done with care, restraint and obvious affection for its subject It is also very, very funny.
