“I’m real happy about it,”
Jarmer said. The only real
change he foresees for next
issue is “We’ll just be a lot
more organized this time
around.” Davault said he
believed this issue would be
“much more visually appeal
ing” than previous issues.
Jarmer said he received
enough submissions from peo
ple that filling the 21 pages
was not a problem, although
he added there was not an over
abundance. “I used everything
that I got that was good,” he
said. He commented that for
the next issue he could use
more artwork, such as photos
and drawings. He said a plan
ned investigation of possible
artists in the Art Center might
remedy the situation.
Jarmer and Davault are ac
cepting work every day from
both students and the general
public. “It (Rhapsody) gives
students a chance to express
their creative energies,”
Jarmer said.

“It will be an overview of
window display techniques.
We will look at the ideas and
■thoughts that go into window
displays and
in-store
displays,” Tollen said.
Tollen explained there are
four main areas that must be
considered when setting up a
display: the size of area
(visibility); theme, composi
tion and height; texture; and
color and how it appeals to the
eye. “You have to know what
looks nice. That is developed
with a lot of practice,” Tollen
said.
The class will observe
displays in small stores and
large department stores,
noting the difference in
budgets and staff.
Tollen said the class will not be
able to get as in-depth as she : :
would like because of the time
limit, but she hopes to con
tinue the class next term or
next year.
The cost for the class is $25,
which is waived for full-time
students at the College.
Registration for the class is
handled through the Counsel
ing Department.
