-Page Two, THE HILLTOP, November 13, 1981 • 11.1 Not another One By Andy Behl 64 Funny?” Opens “Funny?,” a collection of a broad spectrum of humor from the Pratt Graphics Center, will be on exhibit in Mars Hill College’s Peterson Gallery from November 6 to December 15. Humor, much like beauty, is determined by the eye and mind of the individual beholder. The question mark in the title of this exhibition is a reflection of this uncertainty. Humorous work, be it satirical, ribald, ironic, absurd, cruel or gentle, generally falls into categories such as entertainment, socialism, sex, politics, the human condition, religion, and caricature. Most of the categories are represented in this show, which was exhibited in several major galleries before being put into Pratt’s traveling catalog. The scope of the artists represented range from Rembrant to David Levine and include Miro, William Hogarth, A1 Hirshfield, William Gropper, Goya, Larry Rivers, Red Grooms, and Saul Nov. 16 Steinberg. The Pratt Graphics Center is an extension of the Pratt Institute’s School of Art and Design. In addition to conducting the traveling exhibition porgram, the Center is a non-profit workshop and gallery devoted to original prints and printmaking located in New York City. The show will open Monday, Nov. 16, in the Peterson Gallery, which is located on the ground floor of Blackwell Hall. Admission is free and the exhibit is open" to the general public. Viewing hours will be 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Mars Hill College’s art exhibition series, now in its thrid year, is sponsored by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in New York. For additional information, contact Dr. Richard L. Hoffman, Vice-President for Academic Affairs.

Probably the hardest part of the paper is writing the editorial, especially when you’re not even officially editor yet! But I guess that is another issue and a part of the democratic system. One thing that is hard for me to understand is what I would have to call a lack of concern. Have you ever noticed the signs hung in the cafeteria and around campus? Not the ones that are just there everyday, but the special ones. The ones with misspelled words on them. Here we are at college, and people do not even take the time to correct their spelling on signs, things that people will read. It is hard for me to understand how someone could get so far in life and not at least proofread their work. I mean. At least I wood. So next time, try to make sure everything is spelled right before you hang it up, please? BssaKaseln Rural Lifesass^asd The college’s Rural Life Museum is currently showing a special fall exhibit'*’* entitled “Mountain Pottery in the N. C. Tradition.” The show is a representati'* sampling of N. C. pottery and displays both traditional utilitarian wares as well as contemporary art pieces from potters across the state.
