2 Thursday, October 21, 1999 Library Serves as Gallery For Local Art Instructors Two local groups are giving Chapel Hill and Carrboro art teachers a chance to show a wide variety of their work. By Becky Johnson Staff Writer Various artwork by local art teachers line the walls of the Carrboro Public library for a rare display that ranges from surrealist paintings to stone-etched pottery. Stepping into the world of profes sional artists and gallery showings, sev eral Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools art teachers milled about, compliment ing each others’ work during a public reception in the library lobby Wednesday afternoon. The works have been on display at the library, which is located in McDougle Middle School on Old Fayetteville Road. The exhibit opened in July and will be taken down Nov. 9. “(The display) shows a wide range, a wide variety of work,” said Angela m How Does Air Pollution m .

Phillips Middle School. The exhibit, “Artists in Permanent Residence,” sponsored by Friends of the Library and Orange County Arts Commission, gave art teachers a chance to come together and see a secret side of the artist that is revealed through his or her work, Greene said. “(The show) has been successful in carving out a space for teachers who don’t usually have time to do work,” said Nerys Levy, art committee member with Friends of the Library. Most of the art teachers at the recep tion said they rarely found the time to produce artwork of their own. The library art show provided an otherwise lacking oudet for creation, the teachers said. “If I aggressively pursued it, I could be displaying work around town, at Pepper’s or at Weaver Street or some thing,” said Kate Parrent, an art teacher at McDougle. “But I find I just don’t have much energy to pursue art outside teaching.” Missy Valentine, an art teacher at Grey Culbreth Middle School, agreed. “The most artwork I ever did was draw- US EPA Human Studies Facility 104 Mason Farm Road On the UNC Chapel Hill Campus next to the Ambulatory Care Center WHERE Ba * p?i ing examples for the kids,” she said. But working outside the professional art world was not necessarily a bad thing, Valentine said. Art teachers could make a living sur rounded by art without the pressure to please the public or produce art pieces in mass quantities, she said. The Chapel Hill and Carrboro com munity supported artists and their work more strongly than other areas, said Deborah Gast, an art teacher at Estes Hills Elementary School. “There’s a lot (more) art teachers in this district than in other districts,” she said. Friends of the Library sponsors four art shows a year at the Carrboro Public Library. The group has displayed work from 140 artists in the past three years, from Native American craft to Latino art, Levy said. “We’ve shown some UNC artists here and we’d like UNC students to see it as a viable space in the future,” Levy said. “We’re interested in bringing the University to the community.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu.

Bush’s outsized bankroll. “The odds are overwhelming,” she told tearful supporters. “It would be futile to continue.” With a near-wistful nod to the historic implications, President Clinton called Dole’s departure from the race “a loss to the Republican Party and a loss to the country that she couldn’t go forward” because of finances. The fifth GOP candidate to drop out months before the first primaries, Dole left a field of seven, dominated by Bush. Allies buzzed about Dole’s prospects for second place on any GOP ticket hoping to draw women voters. While Dole said emphatically she had not con sidered the vice presidency, she added, “I’m a long way from the twilight.” Dole’s campaign attracted new voters - particularly young and professional women - to the Republican Party. She finished strong in lowa’s nonbinding straw poll in August and displayed a practiced polish on the campaign trail. But she was unable to translate that For students, for parents andfor future generations ... Vote NQ on the UNC-Chapel Hill SISOO/2000 Tuition Increase We, the undersigned UNC-Chapel Hill students, wish to register our strong objection to the proposal put forward on Monday, October 18,1999, by the Chancellor’s Task Force on Faculty Compensation and Benefits. We feel that this proposal places too heavy a financial burden on the UNC-Chapel Hill student body. Tuition increases of $1,500 for in-state undergraduates and $2,000 for out-of-state undergraduates and all graduate students are far more than students can afford. Please reject the dramatic increases in the Task Force’s proposal. N Undergrad -TTlass ~ .. City of Permanent _ Graduate/Prof.-Dept.

Though second place in many national polls - she hovered around 10 percent - she trailed Arizona Sen. John McCain in New Hampshire and lagged well behind Bush everywhere. After weeks of rumors that she would quit, Dole turned the talk to truth in a speech tinged with bitterness for the for tunes held by Bush and Steve Forbes. Her schedule had her racing through 108 fund-raisers this year, but still she came up with just $5 million to Bush’s $57 million. “It’s money, money, money,” she complained to her finance committee as she told them of her deci sion in a morning conference call. She made up her mind alone on Sunday night, she said, during the five hour flight home from a Seattle cam paign stop. Rather than stick it out and hope for a revival in upcoming GOP debates, Dole wanted to get out now, aides said, before spending herself into debt just to meet ballot-access deadlines in key states. Beginning “quiedy but effective ly” in 1996, Bush locked up GOP endorsements and big money-raisers before Dole had even resigned her pres idency of the nonpartisan American Red Cross, she said.
