through mutual acquaintance at
various house parties and has
performed together for about a
year and a half.

dancers pride themselves on their
dance performance. They don’t
play heavy metal but their per-
formance includes several other
types including their favorite-rap.
"Keep the people
dancing"
• Thomas Brown
The band usually does house
parties but after cutting a demo
tape for ASG they were asked to
do the dance.
The group hopes that there
will be support from the students
and that they will be asked back to
do evening dances.
According to Brown, the main
objective of the group is to “keep
the people dancing.”
War initiates art project
by Nolan Kidwell
Staff Writer
The situation in the Middle
East right now is very traumatic
for many people, both on the
front and here at home.
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
