Art students don costumes
By Melissa Martin
Of the Emerald
Witches, painted grotesque characters, a ghost
of a former professor, and even a flasher showed
their art pieces in full costume Monday night at a
reception for the public.
The reception was a chance for art students to
show their creativity in costume and exhibit their
pieces in Lawrence Hall's Gallery 141, which remain
ed crowded with spectators most of the evening.
"The competence in this show is comparable to
the faculty show that was set up last week," said Art
Prof. Ken Paul.
Some 30 art items, including sculptures, pain
tings, prints, computer graphics and miniatures will
be shown in Gallery 141 for the next week. The artists
were there Monday night to discuss their work with
the public.
Graduate student Jim Montgomery's "Spiritoso,"
a bronze sculpture of a horse priced at $1,200,
reflects the clay, wax, plaster and bronze stages of
the process, he said.

Craig Coldhagen and his piece, "Lebanon
Thinking About Grenada," make an interesting
contrast at a student art reception Monday.
"It is nice to see all the different stages from the
finished bronze," Montgomery said of what he called
characteristic marks — barely-visible fingerprints and
dents he made in the piece when it was wax and clay.
"Bronze has been cast the same way for 7,000
years," Montgomery said. He was dressed as the
mythical "sculpture police," who runs through the
halls of Lawrence "taking care of bad sculpture," he
said.
Craig Goldhagen said his piece, "Lebanon Think
ing About Grenada," is a face made of salt glaze
stoneware that was sitting too close to the flame in
the kiln heated at 2,000 degrees and became too
brittle.
But the artist said, "It turned out nice," so he
decided to show it.
"I hope it can raise a feeling of compassion in the
midst of destruction," he said of the piece's title.
Also in the gallery, Martha Rex was showing the
piece she called "Wail Bone," priced at $400. The clay
piece resembles a whale resting on the sand.
"This was a gift. It just came and went," Rex said.
Virgil Sweeden was one of four graduate
students exhibiting computer graphics pieces
displayed on the computer set up in the gallery.
Grids move in three dimensional patterns
through a background of stars in Sweeden's piece.
The artist said his original project turned out to be
too large to complete in one term.
Bennett Siegel used fall colors he's been seeing
in nature lately and incorporated sculpture with pain
ting in the piece he called "Madonna." It sells for
$400.
He wanted a "feeling of space outside the pain
ting," and no harsh boundaries in the piece, Siegel
said.
Ed Rice, a graduate student from Mississippi, said
he named his silkscreening piece "The Edge,"
because it reminded him of the edge of trees, water
and a transition and shift in between. Done in soft
pastels, the piece gives the impression there is,
"nothing down there to catch you if you fall," Rice
said.
"It's kind of like the edge of the world."

Dr. Jekyll and Mrs. Hyde
Helen Hyde had no problems figuring out what her
costume would be for Halloween. Hyde, who works at
Oregon Hall in the business office, decided to come as her
alter ego, Dr. Jekyll.
Other Oregon Hall employees got into the spirit of
Halloween and dressed up, but few could say they were as
"punny" as Hyde, or Jekyll as the case may.
