seum of Art's two other ex

scape photographs and pop
art silksemens and prints.
Burkett's work, on campus
until Aug. lfi, consists main
ly of wilderness photographs
taken in the western and
southern U.S. He says his
work goes as deep as possible
into both the act of photo
graphing and the technology
of printing to expand his ex
ploration of what is sacred In
nature.
Burkett is a recognized na
tional expert in the printing
method called Cihachrome.
Though this process, which
demands sophisticated mask
ing techniques and meticu
lous hand enlargement of
transparencies, he is able to
reveal his subjects with great
sharpness and rich detail.
Burkett will be speaking on
campus Aug. 7 at 7:30 p.m.
in Room 115 Lawrence Hull.
The lecture is free to the pub
lic.

SNAKE

hitchhikin' with a l>oa constric
tor just south of Cottage Grove
on July 5. Gibson siiici ho did
not know if the snake was Cas
sandra
In case someone has captured
the snuke, which is worth more
than S200, Gibson said ho will
exchange any of his other boa
constrictors for tho beloved
reptile.
But if it is still in tho Univer
sity area. Gibson said tho snake
may be curled up in u safe, dry
spot. That means that someone
in the ansa might have an unin
vilod guest under their house.
"With the coldness." Gibson
said, “she's going to go cruise
somewhere she feels safe. That
could be a laundry room if its
outside, a woodpile, under a
deck or under a house. Snakes
don't havo any territory or
sense of direction.”
However, Gibson assured
that neighborhood residents
and their pets have nothing to
fear from Cassandra
"Nobody has anything to
worry about," ho said. "She's
just going to be out cruising
around."
Cats can sleep soundly know
ing that Cassandra Is accus
tomed to eating small rabbits
and comish game hens. Gibson
said with snakes, old habits are
hard to break.
"It's a hard transition for
them to make to a different
food source," Gibson said.
"Snakes have very poor vision,
so they work off of smell and
taste. It took a month for me to
train hor to go from rats to rab
bits."
Gibson said Cassandra has
probably boddcd down In a
safe spot
"She’s just going to sit and
curl up somewhere," hi! said
"She's probably not too active
right now."
Gibson, who has boon bring
ing reptiles homo since he was
ton-years-old, said this is Cas
sandra's first successful escape
Ho thinks it was brought on by
u day of frolic in tho sun.
"I had her out all day long,”
Gibson said. "When I put her
but;k In her cage. sho was still
active I watched her make laps
around tho cage.
"She just hud tho motivation
to relocate."
