Art Museum Visit Is Trip through History A tiny decorative tile and a half-ton 16th century bronze tomb slab are among the items in the Art Museum on East Campus. The main gallery is located on the first floor of the building, and a handsome white and brass curving stairway leads to four large galleries on the second floor. A walk through the museum will show the visitor a large collection of Medieval and Renaissance sculpture and decorative arts, including Medieval lighting fixtures and furniture. The Classical Collection includes work by some of the most important of the ancient Greek vase-painters and a 3,400-year-old Mycenaean jar. Other collections include Oriental art, graphics and an expanding African art collection. Visiting hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m.-l p.m. Saturday, and 2-5 p.m. Sunday. To arrange a guided tour call 684-6659. The museum is equipped with both elevator and wheechair facilities. Are Joggers Really Taking Over t Parking Area Finish Start Vita Parcours Law School Tower View Dr. Acres of Woodlands at Your Back Door A five minute walk from campus can get you to Duke Forest, but even if you live in Chapel Hill, Carr boro, Hillsborough or somewhere in between, Duke Forest is stiU close by. Even though the gates are rather inconspicuous entrances, the more popular ones are easy to find. Cars are parked there in any kind of weather, the actual number a direct proportion to how nice the day is. But even when it's “crowded," it isn't. There are several miles of trails winding through about 800 acres. As you "walk" or "hike," depending on your inclination, you can enjoy a cross section of much of the woodlands in the upper Coastal Plain and lower Piedmont of the Southeast, including nearly 100 species of trees. There are five separate divisions of Duke Forest, mostly in Durham and Orange Counties. Beside the Durham Division, lying along NC 751 between US 70 and 15-501, there are the Korstian, Blackwood, Hillsborough and Eno Divisions. Korstian Division is between Durham and Chapel Hill, along Erwin Road, between county roads 1718 (Mt. Sinai Rd.) and 1731 (Piney Mountain Rd.) There are gates on all these roads. Traveling the old road from Chapel Hill-Carrboro to Hillsborough takes you through Blackwood Division. You can enter from this road onto a trail to Bald Mountain, the highest point in Duke Forest, or from unpaved county road 1727. The Eno River flows through the section of Duke Forest — just west of HillsboFOugh on US 70. And the Eno Division is between Ehirham and Hillsborough, with gates on NC 86 and county road 1723. Maps of each division are available from the forestry school, 208 Biological Sciences Building. They're fully marked photo-mosaic maps, and cost only 25 cents each.
