Photo suBMrmo vr vivun kraines SCHOETTLER continued from page I tliat art of this sort “fit her life well”; she could stop her work at any point and always know where to resume it. Later, Sclioettler gravitated towards collages, becoming fascinated widi construction and destruction; she would construct a collage, cut it up into pieces, and llien reconstruct it in a diiferent way. Schoettler also helped to put together tlie “American Album,” a collection of tliree-ring binders filled with [lie artwork and photos of American female artists. By the 1980’s, Schoctder and her contemporaries had done much to improve tlie status of women artists. For the first time, female artists were appearing on the covers of presti gious national an magaunes. In the 1990’s, these women who had turned tlie art world upside-down held a 20-year reunion conference for everyone who had been lliere in tlie beginning. From tliis conference came The Powerof Feminist Art, 3iboQk lelhng the story of dieir struggle from ilie view-points of several well-known female artists. Tliis book, along witli otlier feminist art books, will provide today’s female artists with something Schoettler and her contemporaries longed for over twenty years ago—role- niodels. However, tlie new generadon of female artists don’t seem fully to appreciate or understand tJie changes diat were made to tlieir benefit, nor do they understand Qiat the fight is not over. The women who decided to fight back in die 70’s covered enormous ground, but, as Schoettler put it, “the ground is shaky—protect it!” Female artists still have a long way to go, but Uianks to women like Schoettler tlie dif ference between “Tlien and Now" is enormous—and inspiring. 10 days left ‘til Easter Break HEY SENIORS!!

COMMITTEE continued from page 1 in public history, is a resident assistant in Brewer, a member of the Senate, historian for Alpha Lambda Delta, and a member of Phi Alpha Theta. Jackson said tliat all three of tliese students possessed “commitment to die college, a wide range in view about student life at tJie collegc, ability to articulate ideas, and a sin cere interest in tlie presidential search.” Tlie commiuee responsible for selecting just tliree nominees from so many applicants was composed of Jackson, SGA President Kelly Conkling, Honor Council Chair Bedi Sumrcll, AMC President Jessica Rowe and Director of Academic Advising Ann Gleason. “It was important to us tliat the student representaives had a voice,” Jackson said. Two faculty representatives and four alternates for the Search Committee were voted on by die faculty, llie two faculty members are Dr. Janice Swab, biology professor, and Dr. Gwen Clay, education professor. The four alternates are Dr. Louise Taylor, English professor; Dr. Brent Pitts, French professor; Alyson Colwell-Waber, dance professor, and Dr. Michael Novak, history professor On Monday, Withrow met individually with die six faculty members. “I feel very honored and humbled by the faculty’s confidence in me," Swab noted. “I think it’s a really big responsibility, whoever is chosen, and die most important diing is to represent what tlie majority of students want. This is a very important time in die life of an institution. It's a time of moving forward.’’ ■Rie topic of qualities a new president should possess is under heavy discussion. Said Jackson: “I think that the new president should have a strong appreciation of Meredith traditions and an understanding of Mereditli’s possibilides. It should be someone who is equally comfortable doing fundraising, attending faculty meetings, and attending stu dent activities.” Overton felt Uiat the new president should be “active and visible.” Swab said tliat die new president sliould be “someone who could have rapport with students, faculty, board, and administration.” All three were in agreement tJiat tlie new president should be one with vision. “Going into die twenty-first century, institutions must have a vision of what tliey are and aren’t, and we should have someone who articulates diis,” Swab said. “I diink we will be able to find a president who can use dieir attributes to strengthen die institution.” Swab emphasized die importance of having confidence in the new president and the importance of positive tliinking. “I diink diat Meredidi can have die finest president of any higher institudon,” she noted.
