Art show crashed
By Penny Kramp and Chris Streppa
An irate local artist
disrupted UNCA student
Scott Lowery's senior art
show Friday night at Owen
Art Gallery.
Kevin Hogan, whom the
art department had tenta
tively hired to teach art
classes this fall, ripped
down cardboard art props
and accused Lpwrey of
"lifting" his image.
Close to 200 jjeople
attended the opening,
which featured Lowrey's
primitive art, red laser
beams, and a band swathed
in black shrouds.
The work in question is
a primeval art image. Low-
rey had used cardboard ef
figies of the image as
moodsetters outside the
building, on the door, and
in the bathroom. Hogan
said people were wearing
ceramic medallions of the
image.
Tucker Cooke, chairman
of the UNCA art depart
ment, said he "sees no
similarities in their work
at all."
"Many artists are in
volved in primitive art at
this time. It is possible
for two works to share
similarities while evolv
ing separately," said
Cooke.
Hogan said he was at
Gatsby's Restaurant on
Friday when a friend told
him "Lowrey had ripped off
his work."
Hogan, his friend, and
his wife went to the ex
hibit about 7:30 p.m.
"When I got there I saw
my image in cardboard. I
can't expect you to under-

Critical thinking requirement adopted
By Chris Streppa
By a close margin, the
Faculty Senate voted Sat
urday to add a three-cre
dit Critical Thinking re
quirement to the general
education core curriculum.
The freshman-level
course "is designed to
show students how to crit
icize what they are read
ing" by developing their
analytical skills.
"It will help students
get more out of all their
other courses," explains
Dr. Anthony Coyne, asso
ciate professor of philos
ophy.
But Dr. Michael Ruiz,
chairman of the physics
department, voted against
the proposal. He would
like to see critical
thinking skills incorpor
ated within individual
study courses. "You can't
teach critical thinking
independent of a disci
pline," he says.
Dr. Alan Comer, chairman
of the Faculty Senate,
broke the tie and voted in
favor of the proposal be
cause "such a course would
be a service to the rest
of the majors, departments
and courses if students
were taught the rudiments
of argument."
The Senate also voted to
retain the existing 16-
credlt, four-course Human
ities sequence that spans
cultural developments from
"The Ancient World" to
"The Future and the Indi
vidual ."
They also supported a
two-credit Health Promo
tions/Physical Education
requirement in place of
the current four-credit,
four-course physical edu:-
cation requirement.
The one-credit Health
Promotions course will fo
cus on the value of basic
health and fitness.
Dr. Ileana Grams, assis
tant professor of philos
ophy, voted to include the
component in the core cur-
rlciilum because "education
means developing fully
one's potential as a himan
being, and that Includes
one's health."
