Case Gallery Will Exhibit
Works of N. C. Artists
The eighth traveling exhibition
to be originated by the North
Carolina Museum of Art, Draw
ings by Contemporary North
Carolina Artists, will be on view
at Case Art Building Gallery,
Atlantic Christian College from
February 6 to February 27. _
Represented in the circulating
show are 39 drawings by major
North Carolina artists, many
living in the State but several
now residing elsewhere. Among
the latter are Hobson Pittman,
native of Tarboro and now of
Philadelphia, who has won fame
for his canvases of Southern in
teriors, and Henry Pearson, for
merly of Kinston and now of
New York City, who has re
cently come to national attention
for his “op” art works.
Artists were invited to submit
works for the exhibition on the
basis of their past participation
in the annual N. C. artists’
competitions held at the Mu
seum. Numerous former winners
are represented in the current
show, among them Gordon
Mahy, a Davidson College grad
uate now living in New York,
Russell Arnold of Wilson, and
Claude Howell of Wilmington.
Viewers of the exhibition will
see almost all drawing tech
niques and materials represent
ed—pencil, pen and ink, colored
and Chinese ink, charcoal, cray
on, tempera, among others. Por
traits, still lifes, landscapes, and
other categories are included,
all on loan from the artists
themselves, with the exception
of the Pittman and Pearson
works which come from the
museum’s permanent collection.
Some of the drawings are
studies for larger works, which
w’ere later executed in oils, but
most are completed works in
tended solely as expressions of
the drawing medium. In many
of these, the artist has built to
mass and area by drawing
techniques alone, and the viewer
will note how successfully these
properties were achieved with
out oils and brush.
The Case Art Building Gallery
is open from 10 a. m. to 5 p.
m. Mon., Wed., and Friday, ancj
from 11 a, m.-5 p. m Tues-
and Thurs.

Exec. Board Hears
Comments; Pass-Fail
Bill Drawn Up
The Discipline and Morale
Committee became the subject of
considerable discussion at the
Executive Board meeting this
week. It all began when Dr.
Hartsock, chairman of the En
glish department and observer at
the meeting, stated, “because of
the many rumors that have be
gun to circulate concerning the
operation of this committee and
because the integrity of the com
mittee members has been ques
tioned on several occasions I feel
someone on the committee needs
to say something which might
help stop the “rigamaro” that
has been going on concerning
this committee.”
However, before this was done
Hartsock gave her view of the
situation. In referring to a case
which had been brought before
the committee on Friday, Feb
ruary 3, she said, “the rumor
that only three members of
the committee were present for
this case is completely false.”
She went on to say, “every time
the committee has a case ru
mors immediately begin to
spread which unjustly question
the integirty of the committee
members.” She said she was
tired of this unfair assailing of
the committee. “In this last case
the evidence against the student
was as clear as any I have ever
seen,” said Hartsock.
She also expressed the opinion
that in order to stop these ru
mors the facts of cases should
be made public. She also sug
gested that an assembly should
be held and the students made
aware of the true facts. It was
her opinion that many students
brought before the committee
had taken advantage of the fact
that the contents of the meetings
were not disclosed and had used
this fact to get sympathy. She
said, “the integrity of the com
mittee is being undermined and
it needs to be stopped.” She
finished by saying that no faculty
member would take a person to
the committee in the first place
if he didn’t have evidence.
Dean Bennett, speaking as a
member of the Discipline and
Morale committee, also made
several statements concerning
rumors surrounding the commit-
