“It’s nice to see some progress
in their sculptures and work
when they fire it,” Coleman said.
The kiln, located off the bike
path next to the Millrace, was de
signed and built by students two
years ago. The kiln has only been
fired a handful of times since it
was completed.
"There have been kilns on that
site for 30 years,” said George
Kokis, a fine and applied arts
professor. "It used to be the only
thing out here.”
Kokis talked about the juxtapo
sition of the kiln with the River
front Research Park, where they do
“white-gloved research of silica.”
Silica is a material used in
computer-chip technology and in
ceramics.
“When you think about it, the
space shuttle is just a big pot
heading for the heavens," Kokis
said. The process is “untimely,
or it’s timeless.”
Wood kilns are no longer a
common tool for firing ceramics.
The thousands-of-centuries-old
process, called anagama, came
to the United States from Japan.
“You don’t have to glaze the
stuff you put in the wood kiln,”
Sill said. “You get some beautiful,
unexpected things. You get what
you get — you sort of have to re
linquish control. You can control
the shape, the form, but the finish
is determined by the fire.”
Kokis said firing the kiln is “very
process-oriented," and the finished
products are unpredictable.
u You get what you get
— you soil of have to
relinquish control. You
can control the shape,
the form, but the finish is
determined by the fire. ^
George Kokis
Professor of fine and applied arts
"We do get some handsome
products, but that’s a bonus,”
Kokis said. “The real meat of the
matter is doing it.”
The process is very low-tech,
but that means the techniques
are subtle, he said.
Kokis compared the process to
an old toaster that a person has to
watch to determine when the
toast was done.
“There’s a lot of subtle atten
tion being paid,” Kokis said.
“You have to be sensitive to its
needs. It's paying attention to
things you care about. It’s about
craft and how to extend the car
ing into other affairs.”
Kokis said students involved
with the wood kiln are interested
in learning how to refine the
process.
“We don’t want to find the per
fect way to run the kiln,” Kokis
said. "We want to try different
things. There’s a certain grace to
it that you don’t find in this
rushed world.”
Crime
Continued from Page 1
a court of law.
The suspect told Agent Olson
that he needed "pathological
help” but was too lazy to go. He
admitted to participating in "20
to 30” on-campus masturbating
incidents, all but one of which
occurred in the EMU or Knight
Library.
Citing legal reasons, the sus
pect declined to talk about
specifics of the case.
“I’m dealing with this on many
levels,” he said. “I want to talk to
people about the whole thing, but
I have to be care fid because of the
nature of the case.”
Police are asking the victims of
this type of crime to step for
ward.
“In most of these cases, either
the intended victim did not see
him, or they did not report it,"
Eugene police Sgt. Rick Gilliam
said. “Obviously, if somebody
has seen it, we want to know
about it.”
Those who believe they have
been victimized are urged to call
the Eugene Police campus line at
346-2904.
"We hope that by the aware
ness of this crime he won’t be
back on campus doing this
again,” Gilliam said.
Public indecency has been a
recurring problem on campus for
about two years, and several
women have filed complaints
that they saw a man masturbat
ing while watching them.
Most of the reports came from
the Knight Library or the EMU.
The most recent complaint was
an Oct. 14 incident in the EMU.
The statute of limitations is
two years for the crime, and
promptness in reporting inci
dents would help in the investi
gation of the current suspect,
Gilliam said.
According to the police report,
the suspect told police he mas
turbated in front of women to as
sure himself “that he was a
man.” He also said that he never
did this when he felt that his ac
tions were “unwelcome by the
woman.” He admitted he must
have been wrong on a couple of
occasions because the women
contacted the police.
OPS has posted case informa
tion on its Web site,
safetyweb.uoregon.edu.
