Stephen R. Nohlgren,
Exhibit Their Works In
Vern Mock
The F.A.C.
By Barbie Pflelger
Currently in the Fine Arts Cen
ter, Salem College is sponsoring
two art shows. Stephen R. Nohl-
gren, assistant professor of biology
at Salem, is exhibiting a collection
of his photographic prints entitled
“Everyday People, Places, Things.”
The second exhibit is entitled “Vern
Mock’s World of Design” by Mr.
Vern Mock.
Mr. Nohlgren’s exhibit is well
done. The photographs are taken
not only with sensitivity, but with
some apparent thought to design.
Mr. Nohlgren has caught fragile
moments in such prints as “Mom-
m-ie-e-e,” “Kilroy,” and “North-
woods PR Men.” The prints do not-
pretend to be masterpieces, and
taken as moments in everyday life,
they are effective.
Both black and white and color
photographs are included in this
exhibit. “Winter Foliage” is a b'au-
tiful example of a black and white
landscape. The landscapes exude
an air of quiet simplicity. “Arma
geddon,” winner of the 1964 South
Dakota Professional Photographers
Association, is a striking black and
white print of nature’s beauty in
cloud formations.
Of special interest were the
photographs of common objects,
such as toothbrush bristles, staples,
thumbtacks, and sandpaper, which
were magnified to create design
qualities. This particular series
shows the imagination and creativity
on the part of the photographer in
capturing often overlooked possi
bilities in nature.
Mr. Nohlgren’s exhibit not only
allowed me to see examples of some
of the fine work he has done in the
field of photography, but also gave
me some insight into him as a man.
An obvious sense of humor is dis
played in his “The eyes have it”
and in his magnified objects guess
ing game. 1 also feel that he must
be compassionate towards children
and nature or he would not have
captured moments like “Maiden
flair Falls.”
Vern Mock’s exhibit is impressive
as far as size is concerned. He ex
hibits seventy-nine paintings, both
oil and watercolor. Mr. Mock re
ceived his Bachelor of Fine Arts
degree from the University of Colo
rado. He has owned his own art
service for such accounts as General
Electric, Alcoa, Cunard Line, and
other notables. He has served as
the President of Artist’s Guild of
New York, Inc., is listed in Who’s
Who in American Artists, and has
exhibited on the east and west
coasts.
On the whole, Mr. Mock’s water-
colors are more effective than the
oils. Painted in a tight, very con
trolled style, the watercolors often
seem to verge on a high-schoolish
kind of simplicity. Number sixty-
nine, entitled “Northernmost Den
mark” is notable for its subdued
color scheme, while the negative
space in number thirty-six, entitled
“Jungfrau, Switzerland” is handled
comparatively well.
The subjects for his work border
on the trite and rather trivial. The
“World of Design” that we see
leaves much to be desired design-
wise. The paintings are often less
than effective spatially. There is
also evidence that Mr. Mock never
really learned to mix colors effec
tively. This observer was left with
the overall impression that the time
could have been better spent. How
ever, we must give credit to Mr.
Mock for his remarkable persistence
along the lines of “art.”
Chance Of A Lifetime
Pierrettes Hope To
Discover Stars
By Mary Davis
The 1971-72 theatre season opens
on the square soon! The Pierrette
Players are beginning to work to
wards their fall production. We
need the help of all the Salem stu
dents. First of all try-outs are
October 6 (after Founder’s Day)
from 6:30 to 8:30. We will cast for
the three one-act plays to be done
November 17-19 and for a Readers
theatre to be performed earlier in
November during assembly time.
Please, don’t be bashful. Come try
out, especially all you seniors who
have thought about it for three
years and have never done it.

Salern College’s chapter of the
Music Educators National Confer
ence had its first meeting of the
1971-72 school year over lunch on
Tuesday, September 14. At this
organizational meeting the follow
ing officers were elected: president,
Chris Verrastro; vice-president,
Evie Yancey; and secretary, Julie
Kidd.
MENC, an Affiliate of the Na
tional Education Association, is the
organization that “serves as leader
and spokesman for music education
in the United States. Its 60,000
members are men and women en
gaged in music teaching or other
music education work at all insti-
Have you ever had some free time
that you just did not feel like using
for studying? If so, why not go
down to the Gallery of Contem
porary Art and take in some cul
ture. The Gallery has a showing
on now until October 8 that you
might be interested in seeing. Mr.
William Mangum has four pieces
on exhibit.
Mangum’s style of painting is ex
pressive of the medium; he uses
broad brush strokes of deep rich
vibrant colors. He gives insight
into the character of his subject,
in this case Faulkner.
Mangum’s sculpture is perhaps a
stranger example of the artist’s
simple yet profound means of ex
pression. The bold massive forms
of the Prelate and the Magistrate
are as expressive as the more
modeled bust of Edgar Allan Poe.
The first two sculptures are general
statements about man, whereas the
third bust is a more specific state
ment, a characterization of the
author Poe. The artist’s means of
expression is well suited to his sub
ject matter.
If you are the type who grooves
on introspection, what you might
enjoy is Conscience I, or Conscience
H, or Conscience III. These are
sculpture pieces done in clay. For
those car enthusiasts, the Clyde
Touring Machine is the thing for
you.
