Black Ml Exhibit inurvaJJAY, FEBKUARY 21,1974 THE LANCE SA Works In Piedmont Show Tne Piedmont University Center 4th Annual Student Art Tracing the history of Black Mountain College through pamphlets, books, and photographs, the Black Moun tain Book Exhibit en compasses all aspects of the Admissions (Continued from Page 1) organizational committee for college day programs in North Carolina. Tliey knew the im portance of returning these programs to the school and back to school hours if possible. These programs had evolved right out of the schools and were mostly at night resulting in (perhaps not conscious) but nevertheless- discrimination. When a counselor goes to a specific location every at tempt is made to penetrate the area with as many contacts as possible. Undoubtedly there are factors which are nation wide that are hindering our admissions quota. One of these is the current trend towards non-attendance of college or else short terms in career schools. This is not an excuse but a realistic factor vrtiich does effect the amount of students which apply to St. Andrews. The new addition to the Ad missions Office which as a whole comes under the Development Office is the Director of Church Relations, Allan Smyth. Basically his job is to bring together under one person’s responsibility all relations with the Presbyterian Church in North Carolina. He is also to devise ways to expand the school’s usefulness to the church and to form student/faculty deputation teams to visit chur ches. The Synod of North Carolina owns St. Andrews and even elects the Board of Trustees! One of the recent implications of this fact is that the re-organization of the Presbyterian Church tran sferred more responsibility to the Synod level than it had had in the past. In the coming years, Smyth hopes to offer continuing education seminars for ministers and their congregations in areas such as business management for the church, stewardship skills, and others. Other programs may include sensitivity groups. Altoou^ Smyth has said that he is willing to talk to those students who are in terested in the deputation teams, the final decision is completely his. These teams will help keep the church leadership informed con cerning the type of education snd community St. Andrews offers so that t^'e “ministers will know who to st.id here. ” BY HELEN MOSELEY commimity’s past. The collec tion will be on display in the LA until March 3. Tlie literature of the display essentially consists of posters and pamphlets publicizing the courses offered and artists teaching during the college’s sunmer sessions. Artists in all fields - pottery, art, writ ing, music - attended the school as both students and faculty. The school’s success is reflected in the displayed articles written in praise of its achievements. All of the literature is a loan from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Library. "Rie story of Black Mountain College, from its founding un til its ending in 1956, is also told through pictures. Photographs of the artists in their work depict the creative atmosphere of the com munity. Classroom activities, faculty music recitals, far ming along the hillside as well as the college’s founder, John A. Rice, are a few of the many scenes shown. Architectural plans made by Walter Gralius and Marcel Brewer for the college are also pictured. Tliese plans were never used by the college, however, and the people themselves built the Academic Studies, which is photographed in progress and completed. Also shown are the murals, com pleted by an art student, enhancing the abutments of the building. Hiese pictures have been borrowed from the North Carolina Archives for the festival. An extension of the Black Mountain Exhibit, a collection of the Jargon Books is also on display in the library. Begun by Jonathan Williams, as a student at Black Mountain College, Jargon Books was the press first publishing works of the following writers; CJiarles Olson, Robert Creeley, and Denise Levertor. Williams also first publshed Buck minster Fuller’s untitled epic on the history of in dustrialization. WHEN ONLY THE EIEST WILL DO... KEEPSAKE DIAMOND RINGS BOB'S JEWEL SHOP Smith Honored Mark Smith, of the Art Program of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian College, has recently been the recipient of two purchase awards in the Nineteenth Annual AlUed Art Guild Exhibition in Durham, N.C. Mr. Smith, who entered three sculptural reliefs, won a North Carolina National Bank Award for “Open Tips”, which represents a close-up view of an open, gesturing hand, and the overall honor of Best in Show for a piece depicting a male chest titled “Nipples and Throat”. The works by Professor Smith are part of a series of panels dealing with the ex pressions of various aspects of the human anatomy. They are first modeled in clay, then plaster and finally cast in epoxy and polyester resin fiberglass from flexible rub ber molds. Thus the sculptor, like a printmaker, is able to produce an edition of works from one original mold. Although Mr. Smith began experimenting with plastic resins several years ago, the idea to combine the func tionality of plastics with a con centrated study of the human figure Old not emerge until last Spring. Then, with the aid of a summer grant from St. Andrews College, the artist worked to bring an ex pressive, humanized form from what is often an im personal, glossy medium. Walter Hathaway, of the Roanoke (Va.) Fine Arts Cen ter, juried the exhibit which will hang in the Allied Arts Center until March 22. HAYDN BEETHOVEN VIRGIL FOX BACH HANDEL I And Other Religious Classical LP's. NOW AT THE GOSPEL MUSIC STORE Exhibit opened last Tuesday in the Vardell GaUery, and wiU run through the 22nd of this month. • The show was juried last spring in Winston Salem and proves to be an im provement in quality over last year’s exhibit. Among the en tries chosen were works sub mitted by three S.A. art students; three by Sue Everett and one each from Tommy Sperling and Bill Roper. The Piedmont show represents drawings, prints and photographs of students from ten member colleges around North Carolina. Among the fif ty three works exhibited, two have received large money awards of $100.00 and $75.00 each, while four others have received honorable men- tionedsof$35. On the whole, this show is a very diversified show in that it has a variety of subject mat ter, some of which represents a real show of talent, but some shows no originality or skiU at all. At the same time, however, ths show is worth seeing - even just to see the ac complishments of these three SA students. Fisher’s Folly Tuesday in the cafeteria, a feat of gastronmical im possibility was performed when Tom “the Stomach” Fischer consumed twelve (count ’em) tacos. The rapidity with which he put away the tacos was dazzling! For his performance ‘the Stomach” was awarded the above paragraph, a stomach distended to watermelon por- portios, and the nauseated ap plause of the people who wit nessed the feat.
