Especially impressive is Mrs. Taylor’s "Barefoot in the Park.” All three artists have studied widely and have received num erous credits. "MARI” has re cently sold three of her paint ings to actor Vincent Price. Acrylics and watercolors are predominant media in the show. Mrs. Browning is parti cularly talented with the latter. A trip through the exhibit is enlightening and amusing at the same time. There are both serene and shocking pieces. And with Mozart in the back ground and Mr. Steve Herman at the helm, the tour is nothing short of delightful. The show continues through May 2. "Yes, because I’m undecided about my major and where I want to trans fer.” —Faye Grose, Freshman "I don’t know. Drama is my major, and there is no drama de partment at Mit chell” —O. B. O’Briant, Fresh man SHOWPIECES—These two paintings are currently on exhibit at the Herman Art Gallery. Shown at left is "Kim, Asleep," an acrylic by Edith Saunders, whose daughter is the model. Pictured at right is "Swamped Boat," a watercolor by Marion Taylor. (Sherry Sanders A Steve Calloway Photos) DRUGS ARE NOT THE ANSWER "What do you see when your pupils contract Out in the alley after your act? Where are lue then? Where are we then?” We heard the above, lyrics on a television commercial re cently. A mental health society was singing about the effects of drugs on human bodies. The drug problem is becoming worse by the day in America, especially on the college scene. More and more young people are experimenting with drugs. And more and more are getting hook^. Why do they do it.^ Maybe our highly advanced, automatic world has given them more spare time to fill. Maybe they think they’ve found something to do. What’s so good about marijuana and LSD.^ Perhaps the need to find out brings on many tryouts. After all, we al ready know what’s bad about drugs. At least, some of us know. Discussions and clinics on drugs are very helpful. 'They stimu late interest in the problem and, more important, they educate the public on the increasing danger of the situation. But more must be done to prevent youth from becoming one big pillbox. Leisure hours need to be filled with construc tive activities, rather than in suicidal endeavors. It would be wonderful if hootenannies, fellowship gatherings and ski parties were to come into vogue. Youth needs some worthwhile diversion; otherwise all those "turning on” may realize too late, or not at all, that they are, in reality, "turning off.” S.R.S.
