One of his favorite hobbies as
a child was wood carving Dur

items of metal were given up to
make weapons Bit ause of this,
some i tlildren like Bui kner
made their own toys

advanced study.
Bui kner knew he wanted art
to let part of his c arecr. hut
sometimes he questioned the
prac ticality of it
Years ago 1 had to make a
dec ision about whether I was
going to try and meet the mar
ketplac e or make a living some
other way," Buc kner said
He dec ided to get an advanc ed
degree and teach sculpture
Before c orning to the I Iniversity
he taught at a junior college in
San Bernardino. Calif. and part
time- at the University of Wash
ington and at several
workshops After joining the
University's faculty in 19f>2, he
said that teaching in Oregon has
la-c-n c mitral to his life
Buckner feels privileged to
have taught at the I Iniversity, as
he has had the opportunity to te
involved with cheating the cut
rt< ulum in the Cine arts depart
ment
"The unique thins about the
University of Oregon is that 1
was encouraged to and permit
tod to design my ow n courses "
Buc kner said
He hopes new faculty will
continue fulfilling Ins intentions
for the classes, arid he said the
department has a great diversity
of people with great ideas Buck
ner plans to teach about three
classes a year for a few years
after his retirement. In general,
however, he plans to further his
sculpting endeavors during
retirement
"Almost always artists have
done their very test work in old
age.” But kner said "So as I look
forward to old age. 1 look for
ward to that as a possibility
Buckner said he has enjoyed
reading poetry to his classes
while they work and feels he
needs to stress the importance of
how art is fundamental to
h u mankind.
