Teacher Education Visitation The teacher education program at St. Andrews received praise for its student personnel practices and professional laboratory ex periences in an initial re accreditation report by tfembers of the state visitation conmiittee from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. According to Dr. Eugene Smith, chairman of the teacher education program, these two areas were among several commended by the group in a summary report. Other recommendations and criticisms were offered by the 18 members of the committee, but Smith said that he has “very positive feelings” about the three-day visit. Areas cited for im provement by the group in cluded a re-examination of the financial support for the program, an increase in the collection of major state adopted textbooks, and ad ditions to the filmstrip library.

Current professor of film and creative writing at John Abbott College in Montreal, Canada, Siegel has exhibited her films internationally and has received awards in Belgium, France and Canada. Her still photographs have been featured twice in the “St. Andrews Review” and will again be featured in the upcoming edition. Siegel is a native of Ohio and has been a Canadian resident for the past eight years. Recent film efforts by the artist include “Recipe To Cook A Clown”, a 22-minute film about one character who enters a city and meets bizarre people: a deaf-mute boy, a solicitous young man and a neurotic young lady; and “Solitude”, a nine-minute film about the nature of the individual in the world and about the individual as he moves from one space to another, shadowed by structures. Other samples of her ex perimental films include “Dreams”, a 1973 fantasy film that does not pretend to transform realistic events, which Siegel describes as a “daydream” or “a pulsating imagination”; and “Faces”, a 1976 film entirely composed of still photographs re-filmed with a 16mm camera. Transitions from one image to the next are completed through dissolves in the camera as one face image merges into another. BOB'S JEWEL SHOP The Place To Go For All Your Jewelry Needs! MAIN ST.
