Faculty art reflects landscape
Art exhibits, many of which
reflect directly or indirectly the
Oregon landscape, are now being
displayed by faculty members
from the architecture and allied
arts school in Gallery 141,
Lawrence Hall.
The show features a variety of
art forms, including ceramic and
colored porcelain plates, teapot
and tea bowls; a steel broach;
prints and photographs; an
assemblage; and wood and steel
sculptures.
Oil paintings by Ron Graff show
the effects of light on rocks and
water. Ralph Baker expresses the
planes of the landscape in his
spontaneous acrylic. Laverne
Krause's acrylic on linen picks up
on the patterns and luminosity ot
landscape.
The colors of the largest piece, a
handmade felt wall-hanging by
Barbara Setsu Pickett brings to
mind the reverie of the lush
greens of the Oregon forest.
In George Kokis' “Pair of
Prayers," two earthen vessels con
tain Oregon treasures; one stones,
the other pieces of polished drift
wood sticks. Carol Gates' graphite
drawing resembles a dried
steambed — look for the stone
that is embedded with an animal
image.
In contrast, Gates' pastel and
enameled stick piece portrays big
horn sheep and stone walls in
spired by Scotland — not Oregon.
Wayne Jewett's chair is not your
everyday recliner. The white
polyvinyl chloride pipe and fit
tings chair sports a real grass
cushion that's still growing.
The influence of technical ad
vances are evident in Ken O'Con
nell's two computer designs. One
uses simple shapes and primary
colors. The second is more com
plex both in texture and in the
subtle way the colors have been
developed into organic forms.
Faculty publications included
are "Russian Icons in the Santa
Barbara Museum of Art" by Dean
McKenzie; an article by Linda Et
tinger titled "Talk About Teaching
Computer Art Graphics," appear
ing in the "Computer Teacher;"
and two books by Nancy R. Smith
called "Symbolic Functioning in
Childhood" and "The Handbook
of Research in Early Childhood
Education."
The show continues through
Oct. 21.
Corps recruiters hit campus
The Peace Corps is on campus
this week, recruiting a few good
men and women for two-year mis
sions overseas.
The Peace Corps has some 5,200
volunteers serving in Africa, Asia,
Latin America, and the Pacific,
says Marsha Swartz, the organiza
tion's campus representative. All
week long, three members of the
Peace Corps' regional office in
Seattle will be accepting applica
tions and interviewing University
students for two-years.
Students wanting interviews
need to sign up by Wednesday for
Thursday and Friday interviews,
Swartz says.
Those persons with the best
chance of being accepted as
volunteers are graduates with ma
jors or minors in the physical and
life sciences, math, health, nutri
tion, civil engineering, industrial
arts, French, special and secon
dary education, and business, ac
cording to Ann Trutner, recruit
ment team leader who served for
two years as a volunteer in the
African nation of Liberia.
Graduates in other disciplines, in
cluding the liberal arts, are also
encouraged to apply.
Two of the Peace Corps goals
are to encourage more minorities
and mid-career, older Americans
to apply, Trutner says. In the last
four years the number of
minorities serving in the corps has
risen from 5 percent to 8 percent.
There are approximately 350
volunteers over the age of 55 serv
ing as well, she says.
Peace Corps development ef
forts concentrate on the areas of
agriculture and food production,
health and nutrition, alternative
energy sources, education and in
come generation.
"With their teaching skills,
business skills, construction skills
and farming skills, volunteers are
building bridges in Nepal, helping
Filipino fishermen improve their
catches, designing water systems
in Belize and constructing fresh
water fish ponds throughout
Africa," Trutner says. "Rather than
teaching people only how to sub
sist we want them to learn how to
get income developed and move
past the subsistence levet."
Anthropologist to lecture
An anthropology professor who
is "at the center of a new idea of
the humanities," will be on cam
pus Thursday to meet students
and lecture.
Ward Coodenough, an
thropology professor at the
University of Pennsylvania, is one
of 100 professors the Phi Beta Kap
pa Visiting Scholar Program will
bring to campus for lectures,
classroom and seminar discus
sions and individual meetings
with faculty members and
students.
“Ward Coodenough is seen by
others as the center of a major in
tellectual movement among an
thropologists,” says Richard
Chaney, a University an
thropology professor.
Hearing Goodenough's presen
tation Thursday may help
students see other cultures
through a different viewpoint,
Chaney says.
“We can't understand other
cultures by our own gains. We
have to go to the trouble of learn
ing their language," he says.
Thursday, Coodenough will
discuss using history and science
to study ancient man at 7:30 p.m.
in the Gerlinger Alumni Lounge.
