I Couple,” “Pool” and “The Muse.”
Paperclay is a new form of
ceramics that is due much in part
to Gault herself. The process be­
gins with taking recycled com­
puter paper or newspaper and
combining it with the clay. When
the piece is fired, the paper bums
out, leaving the ceramic remains.
[This allows the artist to create
larger scale pieces than previously
possible with fired ceramics.
Gault met with the group for
40 minutes, sharing slides and
■personal observations of what in­
spires her art.

she works and teaches. She re­
ceived her BA in communications
from the University of Colorado
in 1975 and her MFA in ceram­
ics from the University of Puget
Sound in 1979.
Gault’s 20 years of experi­
ence has led to commissions of
limited editions at Neiman
Marcus.
She was involved with the
Concourso Internazionale for ar­
tistic ceramics at Faenza, Italy.
She is also the author of
“Paperclay for Ceramic Sculptors:
A Studio Companion,” published
in 1993.

“Goldrush rides again,”
Loren Ford, psychology instruc­
tor said. And he’s looking for­
ward to the Goldrush concert
^scheduled for Nov. 5 in the Gre­
gory Forum.
Ford, a bluegrass musician,
is a member of the five-person
bluegrass band, Goldrush, along
with science instructor Bob
Misley, who is on sabbatical this
year.
According to Ford, he first
met Misley at a bluegrass jam in
1978. They formed the band
Goldrush in 1979 and played to­
gether until 1984. The group
Blayed concerts and rodeos. They
even had a weekly gig at
Magellan’s every Sunday after­
Boon in the early ‘80’s.
But, according to Ford, “job
constraints and marriage and
children” played a role in the
Band’s break-up in the ‘80’s.
Ford said he went on to play
with a band called Pumpkin
Ridge, while Misley played in a
‘50’s rock and roll band.
During Goldrush’s off-time,
Misley taught a bluegrass music
education class at the college for
about five years. Ford said it was
during that time that students
from the bluegrass class orga­
nized themselves into a band
ailed Cabin Fever.
Timbertine
In the fall of 1992, Misley .
thought having a concert would
be a great way to celebrate the
completion and opening of the
Gregory Forum, while providing
a stage for the students involved
with Cabin Fever. This is how
the bluegrass concert series,
which happens every fall, got
started.
According to Ford, two sum­
mers ago, members of Goldrush
got back together at the Oregon
Trail Bluegrass Festival in Canby.
“It was a chance to see old
friends, and there was a good re­
sponse, so we decided to play to­
gether again,” he said.
That was the beginning of the
Goldrush revival.
This fall, as part of the on­
going bluegrass concert series,
Goldrush will be performing
along with Bryan Bowers,
autoharpist, at the bluegrass con­
cert in the Gregory Forum.
“We are all a little older, a
little lower and a little slower, but
we decided to revive, to get back
together,” Ford said.
The proceeds from the tick­
ets will go to the Arts/Humani-
ties department. Tickets can be
purchased in advance from Loren
Ford for $8 or at the door for $10.
The performance is Nov. 5 at 7
p.m. in the Gregory Forum. For
more information, contact Ford at

He received a three-year sen­
tence and will be released next
spring. He believes that we
should give 7 percent of our taxes
to improve public safety.
Mike Green spoke up against
this, saying that it “shamelessly
plays on voters’ emotions,” and
that Whitaker was charged with
second degree manslaughter, not
murder. It would cost half a mil­
lion dollars for prison construc­
tion if it were passed, “excessively
expensive” in Green’s opinion.
Measure 12 had no one speak
up in favor of the measure, but
Patty Barry, construction worker,
spoke up against it. He said it
would do away with having
skilled workers for public con­
struction.
Measure 10 got a “yes” from
Steve Dole who says it just em­
phasizes the trust voters can have
in their legislators. Mike Green
said “no” because it “flies in the
face of democracy.”
Measure 15 got a “yes”
from Bob Dellon because it
would help the schools that are
hurting from Measure 5. It got
a “no” from Arthur Towers,
field director, who said it does
more harm than good. He said
it is not a fair way to fund
schools, on the backs of the dis­
abled, mentally ill and elderly.
It seems to help kids, but the
problem kids will be “slashed”
by the measure.
Measure 14 got a “yes”
from Uris because current min­
ing laws allow miners to use
valuable resources from public
land without paying taxes on
them.
The discussion ended with
a debate on the measures previ­
ously discussed.
