Art Gallery opens season
A ‘‘Photography Invita
tional,” featuring 125 works by
22 North Carolina artists, is the
opening exhibition at Atlantic
Christian College’s Case Art
Building Gallery. The show
opened on Sept. 1, and will
continue through Sept. 29.
Commenting on the exhibi
tion, Thomas Marshal of the
college’s art faculty said, “this
exhibition is widely representa
tive of the different types of
photography being done in this
part of the country today. Some
of the photographers have pro
vided a rather traditional ap
proach and technique, some a
commercial approach, and still
others a highly creative, almost
painterly style.
“In addition to technical and
stylisic variety,” said
Marshall, “there is a great
variety of subject matter. Much
of the work reflects the contem
porary concern for form and
design as subject, while a few
indicate a refreshing, poetic
interest in content. The exhibi
tion is certainly exciting in its
variety and interesting in its
scope.”
Works appearing in the exhi
bit are by Frank Anderson of
Wilson; Henry Applewhite of
Manteo; Robert Bailey of
Woodleaf; Thomas Braswell of
Wilson; Ben Casey of Nashville;
Charles S. Cooke of Wilson;

The two new members of the
English Department at A.C.
promise to be assets to that
already excellent faculty. Dr.
Katherine James says her main
focus is on English Literature,
while Mr. Thomas McLennon’s
special interest is writing.
Dr. James comes to A.C. by
way of Tennessee. She lists love
of traveling amone her inter
ests. This past summer she
spent three weeks traveling
in England. Since she also
mentioned a love for the thea
tre, she was happy to have had
the opportunity to see eight of
Shakespeare’s plays while
there.
Mr. McLennon earned his B.S.
and M.S. in English Education
at State University College,
Buffalo,N.Y. He says that the
teaching of writing as a serious
discipline has come to the fore
within the past decade or so.
Before that, in many cases,
teaching writing to undergradu
ates was simply shifted onto
graduate students. McLennon
does not agree with the often
quoted adage “Writers are
born, not made.” On the con
trary, he feels that all students
should know about what he calls
the Four Modes of Writing:Ex-
pressive; Persuasive; Scientific
and Literary. According to
McLennon, specific techniques
exist to teach students more
effective ways to approach writ
ing assignments than those
suggested in most of the text
books on the subject which are
