The Sunday opening of an
exhibit of work by Chapel Hill
1ist Y,ictor IIuggins at the
Art Gallery, offers all in the
Chapel Hill area an op
portunity to view his new pain
tings and drawings in full
scope from the series of
monoculars, binoculars and en
vironmental fields for which
Huggins is steadily becoming
well-known.
For the more informal art
collector, there is a selection of
drawings done in" recent
months by the artist.
A statement by Huggins con
cerning his work that might in-,
terest those familiar with his
circular abstract compositions
dates back to the fair of 1963
when he first began these
circular forms:
"If asked at that time, 'Why
circles?', I doubt that I could
have given a satisfactory rep
ly. As is the case with many
painters, I work and ex
periment at first intuitively,
and later my rationale might
be formulated verbally.
"I asked myself how the
plastic elements (line, color,
form, texture and space) were
functioning in their rela
tionships. What made red work
better than another hue? How
was the configuration different
from previous compositions
done in rectangular fields?
What was right?
"Thus I became a paradox
ical hybrid sort of creature
who has to solve a given pro
blem with a spontaneous, in
tiutive response, and yet one
who must have the cool, unsen
timental, objective charac
teristic of the critic.
"I came to feel that what the
viewer sees becomes his world,
his environment. It is like the
naive child who hides by cover
ing his eyes. If the pictorial
field can become the viewer's
environment in this manner, I
felt a higher degree of in
volvement and communication
between the spectator and the
artist might exist.
"In my recent work I have
tried to alter the circular field
so that it might perfectly coin
cide with the viewer's field of
vision captivating the spec
tator in a total visual en
vironment. "This device would eliminate
objects like the wall and ceil
ing from entering the com
positional area, and also keep
elements within the com
position from extending beyond
the viewer's periphery.
"Also the binocular shape of
the field exemplifies the cen
tral focal area of the com
position so that it becomes
very emphatic and compelling.
I like to think I have come
closer to the 'envrionmental
pictorial field'."
Victor Huggins is a native of
Chapel Hill and is a graduate
of UNC with a master's degree
in creative art. He is currently
a member of the art faculty
and the recipient of numerous
prominent awards.

Police in the future may ask
a drinking driver to have his
fingertip pricked rather than to
blow into a machine when his
alcoholic content is being ques
tioned. A new fingertip method of
directly measuring alcohol in
the blood, being developed by
Dr. Fred W. Ellis, professor of
pharmacology at the Universi
ty of North Carolina School of
Medicine, is "more specific
.f,,and more sensitive''. than, the
traditional breath tests.
Initial comparisons with the
breath analysis method shows
that the fingertip method is
much less variable.
"Breath analysis shows a lit
tle lower concentration of
alcohol than the new direct
measure of blood," Dr.' Ellis
explains.
At present, no direct blood
analysis method is available
which can be performed in less
than 30 minutes. Most of these
tests require an hour. ','
' Dr. Ellis believes his pro-
fingertip seems to be the most
practical source , of blood, but
any capillary blood (from the
ear lobe, nose, or toes) could
be used. .

Dr. Ellis says that the new
blood test is "very specific for
ethyl alcohol." No food nor
non-alcoholic , fluid will alter
the a I c hoi concentration
detected by the test.
The new technique is capable
of detecting much smaller con
centrations of alcohol in the
body than the breath tests. It
can measure ''very ac
curately". below one
thousandth ( .001) per cent
alcohol. The legal allowable
concentration now is one-tenth
(.1) percent.
"If the law should ever lower
the legal blood level, the
finger-tip method would still
apply," Dr. Ellis point cut.
As with the breath-analyzing
machine, the blood-measuring
equipment could be set up in a
police station , or laboratory.

research on the effects,

Representatives of state
mental health programs in the
Carolinas, Alabama, Georgia,
Mississippi, West Virginia and
the District of Columbia are
attending a five-week training
program at the University of
North Carolina here.
The program focuses on
planning and operating mental
health centers, with emphasis
on staff organization, develop
ing continuity of patient care
rehabilitation and preven
tion. Those in attendance will
serve as a training cadre for
future, o mental health center
staffs in their home states. , ,
The program is being con
ducted jointly by the Depart
ment of Psychiatry at the UNC
School of Medicine and the
N.C. State Department of Men
tal Health under a grant from
the Continuing Education
Branch of the National Insti
tute of Mental Health.
The first phase of the pro
gram will end on March J$,
when each trainee will return
home for two weeks of field
study.
These students spend ten
months at the University of
Lyon where they take ap
proximately the same courses
they would take if they stayed
in Chapel Hill. The academic
expenses of these students are
exactly the same as at UNC,
and they go through the same
academic procedure of pre
registration. This program originated in
the French department of UNC
and was the brainchild of Dr.
Richard L. Frautschi who tooK
it upon himself to see that
Carolina has a " foreign ex
change program.
The University of Lyon
agreed to participate in the
program and the first students
went to Lyon in 1964-65.
The "Year at Lyon1' pro
gram is open to all UNC
students, not just French ma
jors. All applicants must have .
a 2.5 quality point average
overall, and a 3.0 average in
French.
Some students have transfer
to Carolina primarily to par
ticipate in the Lyon program.
The year begins in August
with the oceanliner trip to
France. After arriving in
France, the students are given m
a six week informal course in
language orientation.
During the time, they be
come accustomed to speaking
French constantly. They are
assisted by French high school
teachers who tutor the
students during their free'
time. Participating students
have found this tutorial pro
gram very helpful in orienting
them to the type of written
work they will be expected to
do at the University of Lyon.
. All academic work, including
examinations, is the .same as
that given to the full-time
French students. Student
grades are computed by the
UNC academic advisor in Lyon
with them, in cooperation with
the Lyon instructors.
The participants in this pro
gram enjoy many benefits
from their ten months in
France. The obvious advantage
of a widened scope is only a
beginning. Participants have
found that their stay at Lyon
helps them academically, gives
them motivation, and is an
asset for graduate school ad
mission. This can be witnessed
by the number of Lyon
participants receiving
fellowships or graduating with
honors.
A little known aspect of the
"Year at Lyon" program is
that it is an exchange pro
gram. Each year, the
University of Lyon sends
Carolina two instructors and
two students who are given
scholarships by UNC.
