Kevin Forney, a commer cial arts instructor, recognized this one day while he was teach ing one of his classes. The stu dents seemed to be paying mod erate attention, but according to Forney their minds seemed to be clouded by the events in the Gulf. Forney had seen a lot of sym bolic art which centered on world events, and so he assigned his students to do a project about what the current crisis meant to them. “I want you to get your feel ings down,” said Forney to his art students. The students took the way they saw the war and constructed them. The pictures they designed were later put on temporary dis play in the Pauling Gallery here on campus. Many of the exhibits dealt with the conflict between war and peace; others illustrated the American involvement in the Gulf War; some dealt with the resource aspect of thewar, while others showed emotions toward Saddam Hussein. “I don’t like the idea of war ” said Tricia Schneider, one of the participating students. A number of the works in cluded doves, peace symbols, and olive leaves representing peace. On the other hand frequent sym bols used were missiles, blood, and bones. “With this war, peace has been severely damaged; the dove has lost its feathers,” said Sch neider, who depicted a missile and a dove losing its tail feathers in her project IT’S TIME TO CONSIDER THE NEXT STEP IN: YOUR EDUCATION YOUR FUTURE YOUR CAREER TIME IS MOVING ON.
