Survey of the Month
by Yolanda Jones
What is your opinion of sculpture garden?
Alisa Wilson - They all add a sense of
culture to the campus but I feel that “Arbor
Spirit” and 'Southern Sunrise”, are very
creative and pretty easy to understand for a
mind that’s not very artistic but, “Garden
Ruins,” is a sculpture that is somewhat
hard to figure out for the average person.”
Dorothy Suggs - “I feel that the sculptures
in some way are beneficial but, I also feel
that we can get less expensive sculptures
and use the money in another way to benefit
the students.”
Rodney Wilson - “My opinion is that the
sculptures are great because sculptures br
ing out the beauty of the campus and they
also show the creativity of black sculptors.”
Eneta Lucas - “I didn’t realize or notice
the beauty and value of these sculptures un
til I had to do an English assignments con
cerning them. At this point, I realized my
loss.”
Gloria Johnson - “The garden does a lot,
as far as, the beautification of the campus,
but personally I feel the money could have
been spent better. For example, on art
scholarships or dormitories.”
Carter Cue - “Sculpture Garden enhances
the campus scenery because it causes a
sharp contrast to the general campus ar
chitecture. This in itself accounts for a
diverse, pluralistic campus.” !
Brian Drake - “I think the Sculpture
Garden is a nice gesture to the beautifip-
tion of our campus, and the sculptures
themselves are nice, but from what I
understand the cost of them was ridiculous.
I feel the monies used for the sculptire
garden could have been put to more mean
ingful uses such as better dorm facilities.”
Victor Watts - “I think the sculptures ire
very unique and beautiful. They help bring
out the beauty of the campus.” j
Kelly Ren wick - “I feel that it is a wasti of
money for economic reasons and the money
could have been used to further the ediia-
tion of the business department for the
business students.” |

many problems. According to Mrs,
Shewmake, the major problem with the
sculpture is that the steel, of which the
sculpture is composed broke and more had
to be ordered from a company in South
Carolina. The next problem that occured
was the arc was rolled to small, and another
steel company came to the aid of the
sculpture. The sculpture is expected to be
completed this month.
The three art works that have been in
stalled on campus for a number of years are
Mel Edwards’, “Southern Sunrise,” which
is located between K.R. Williams
Auditorium and the Communications Art
Building. A smaller steel sculpture,
“Homage” by James Marlow is located bet
ween the Communications Art Building and
Hill Hall. Beverly Buchanan’s “Garden
Ruins,” is also located between the Com
munications Art Building and Hill Hall.
Along with the two new additions, “Arbor
Spirit,” and “Po Tolo,” this is WSSU’s
sculpture garden.
In the near future Mrs. Shewmake does
not know if sculpture garden will continue to
grow, but let’s hope it does because it
enhances the beauty of our campus.

Former Moscow Bureau Chief
Speaks at Patterson Lecture Series
by Victor O. Coffey
Managing Editor
Kevin Klose, a former Moscow Bureau
Chief for the Washington Post was a recent
lecturer for the Joseph N. Patterson Lec
ture Series.
Klose worked as a Foreign correspondent
for four years in the Soviet Union. His
presentation was through the courtesy of
the Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellows
fProgram at the college of Wake Forest
University.
Klose spoke on the topic of one of his four
books: Russia and the Russians, which was
a winner of the overseas Press Club’s Cor
nelius Ryan Award. Ryan was a historian,
who wrote about World War H. His book
was judged the best book of the year for 1984
on Foreign affairs.
Klose’s presentation covered such infor
mation as Journalism, International Rela
tions, Government (which did not deal with
women leadership), the KGB (Committee
for State Security) and contrasting the
Soviets (which are not wealthy people) and
Americans way of life.
When asking Klose, how does the job of
the Journalist differ in the Soviet Union and
the United States? “In the Soviet Union
everything has to be approved by the State
Censor and everything has to be reported to
the KGB before printing anything.
