pattern of square and circles is
quite effective. These students
are also experimenting with print
making and are enjoying the speci
ally built Charles Brand press
which has been recently installed
in the studio.
The display of ceramics is par
ticularly appealing because of the
many shapes, beautiful glazes and
the usefulness of the object. In
Ronald Carpenter’s tall coil pot a
lovely manganese stain has been
allowed to show through the green-
ishish copper glaze by a design
of scratches on the surface of the
clay. John Martin’s small but ex
quisitely shaped and glazed vase
was hand thrown on one of the
studio’s kick wheels. Shirley
Honeycutt formed her planter on
pedestal by the slab method and
glazed it with a deep cobalt. Ben
Broadway’s large brown jar is
hand formed and has a double
mouth. •
Some experimental and smart
looking wall hangings are dis
played by the art education class.
Linda Houghton’s design of or
ange yarn, sticks and stems with
dried flowers is most attractive, as
are the construction of Pat Revis
and Cynthia Byler. Nancy Briggs’
stitchery is a cheery still life of
vase and flowers.
This exhibit will continue
through February 24 and merits
a visit to the Mars Hill gallery
to see the exciting things going
on in this progressive art de
partment.
Job Prospects
Are Abundant
Job interviews are abundant
for students of all majors, reports
Miss Mildred Bingham, head of
the department of business ad
ministration. “With the advent of
the spring semester companies
are sending representatives almost
faster than we can accommodate
them,’’ stated Miss Bingham.
She emphasized that interviewers
are interested in graduates with
majors other than business. Sci
ence and math are in particular
demand, according to her.
Some companies who have
scheduled interviews for the per
iod through spring break are
Roberts and Co., Wachovia Bank
and Trust Co., Burlington Indus
tries, Union Carbide, Tennessee
Eastman, N. C. State Department
of Personnel, the Department of
State Agency for International
Development, and North Carolina
National Bank.
Anyone interested in interview
ing a company may sign up in
Administration 22, Miss Bing
ham’s room. Literature about the
companies are also to be found
in her room.
Miss Bingham encourages sen
iors to sign up for interviews with
any companies he or she may be
interested in.

such.

Forums on Tap
Two pre-symposium forums
have been planned in preparation
for the upcoming spring sympo
sium, Feb. 26-March 1. The first
forum is scheduled for Feb. 14
at 7:30. The discussion will focus
on social change in American
cities. The second forum will be
held at 8:00 on Feb. 22. Church-
state relations will be the topic
discussed. Both forums will be in
the coffee house.
In the opening forum three
staff members from the anti
poverty agency in Asheville will
discuss strategies for social re
form and the implications of some
of the concepts introduced into
the Economic Opportunity Act,
such as “maximum feasible par
ticipation” of the poor, “com
munity organization” as power-
for-the-poor, “co-ordination” of
all social services through the
model cities program, and “inno
vation” as an outgrowth of pri
vate non-profit community action
corporations.
Dr. James Jordon will discuss
the history of church-state rela
tions and Mr. Robert Melvin will
deal with contemporary issues in
the second forum. One of the
leading issues to be discussed is
that of Federal aid to denomina
tional educational institutions.
A time will be allotted in each
forum for questions from the
audience.
