All sales final. 1 Lecture to celebrate premier Asian artist ■ ART: A curator of Korean art will lecture on artist Chong Son, whose work is being showcased on campus By Ben Kwasney Higher Education Reporter A rare Korean art exhibit now being displayed at the University Museum of Art will be the topic of a guest lecture this Sunday. Kumja Paik Kim, a curator of Korean art at the Asian Art Muse um in San Francisco, will give a lecture titled, “Native Mountains and Streams: Chong Son and His Influence.” Kim will speak specifically about Korean artist Chong Son and his impact on Korean art. “We’re delighted to have [Kim] here,” said Laura Aaron Sear, cu rator of education at the Universi ty museum. Son’s style of painting is true view; he used his own native countryside for inspiration, Sear said. “Chong Son is one of the pre mier artists of our current exhibi tion,” Sear said. Many of the rare works of the museum exhibit, such as “The Fragrance of Ink: Korean Literati Paintings of the Choson Dynasty (1392-1910),” have not been dis played outside of Korea. Hanging scrolls, album leaves, fans and screens are all included in the collection. The collections have come from Korea University in Seoul, South Korea. The display represents the tradi tional scholar painting of Korea’s last royal dynasty. The exhibit has been put togeth er by the Korean Studies Institute and the Korea University Museum and is on its third of five stops in United States cities. It will be on display at the University through March 9. After Kim’s lecture, there will be a reception at the museum and the public will have a chance to talk with him, Sear said. The Oregon Arts Commission, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Institute of Museum Services are all sponsoring, through a grant, the University museum’s 1996-97 exhibition pro gram. Kim’s lecture will be at 2 p.m. in room 180 PLC. Judaism: Committee examines funding options ■ Continued from Page 1 Allison Ginter, education chair of the Jewish Stu dent Union, said student interest in building a Juda ic Studies program has been very high, especially in the last five years. “Students are keeping this issue on the forefront,” she said. “The Jewish community at the University has been increasing in size and visibility,” Balsavage said. "With the establishment of Hillel and a function ing Jewish Student Union, the community has real ly made itself known,” she said. Given the increase in the community’s numbers, “a number of students think it is ridiculous that there is no program.” Ginter said more attention was also given to the issue following the “Ethics After the Holocaust” Conference last May. “All three keynote speakers mentioned that the University is missing a Judaic Studies program,” she said. University President Dave Frohnmayer men tioned the effects of the conference as well. “The Ethics After the Holocaust Conference demonstrated the depth of community and region al support [for this program),” he said. “A strong case has been made that a Judaic Stud ies program would be of strong interest to students, and the scholarship involved with Judaic Studies is a major part of our intellectual tradition,” said Uni versity Executive Assistant President Dave Hubin. “Basically, it’s the right thing to do, and there is a demand for it.” Deborah Lipstadt, one of the keynote speakers at the conference and a post-Holocaust philosopher and scholar, has been hired as a consultant for ere ating the program at the University. She met with the committee and with faculty interested in teach ing within the program during a visit at the end of fall term 1996. Balsavage said the faculty commitment to the program was reassuring. “The faculty on the committee are so determined and enthusiastic, it really creates a more hopeful, optimistic [atmosphere] for the program,” she said. “My goals are to get the program established and to establish a tradition of scholarly excellence for students and faculty,” Stein said. “The only thing stopping the creation of the Ju daic Studies program is the funds,” Ginter said. David Begun, director of development for the Col lege of Arts and Sciences, is in charge of the fund raising for the program. Ginter said Begun is “ac tively recruiting” to find a chair for the program. Begun was out of town and unavailable for com ment. Stein said a large endowment is necessary in or der to get the program started. Regarding funding, Frohnmayer said, “We are hopeful, but there is no certainty at this time.” If an endowment does come in, the University has pledged to match the private funds with state funds, which would, in effect, double the donated amount. The donation would be invested, and the state would match the interest paid out on the do nation each year, said Pauline Austin, assistant di rector of the University Office of Communication. The first goal of the committee is to hire a chair person. Once that goal is met, “the program will have its center,” Stein said. Can you keep a few... It doesn't have to be dirty to be good...
