Lauterer Exhibit Praised
As

By JOE DEPR1EST
Sunsets and basset hounds;
old houses and pretty girls;
football players and tree
limbs: these are some of the
subjects that make up an ex
hibit of photographs by Jock
Lauterer now on display in
Howell Hall.
Lauterer has chosen what he
considers his best work: ran
ging from photographs of Cha
pel Hill's 1964 Civil Rights
marches to shots he made dur
ing a recent trip to the Shen
andoah Valley.
The exhibit is a photogra
phic song to everyday life.
Lauterer's work is straightfor
ward and unpretentious. Whe
ther he takes an action shot
at a soccer game or a shot
of land meeting sky the pho
tograph bears an unmistak
able touch of love.
"A photograph is a thought
.... it must communicate,"
Lauterer says. What one of
his photographs communicat
es to one person may say
something entirely opposite to

One thing handy about a
postmaster you can always
reach him by mail.
And this 'reachability' mak
es the North Carolina postmas
ter one of the biggest assets
to earthquake study in the
state.
Although North Carolina is
txX exactly an earthquake
state, like California or Alas
ka, it does have the second
largest fault zone in the coun
try, the Brevard fault; and
roughly speaking, fault zones
equal earthquakes.
This fault zone runs from
Alabama to Virginia and once
in a while still pipes up and
grumbles out a song, scaring
cows, breaking windows and
making a larger than normal
squiggle on the University's

another and it may even say
nothing.
"I anybody looks at one
of my photographs and likes
it ... OK. But they are for
me. You've got to be very
selfish about it when you shoot
for yourself," Lauterer says.
"You must work for yourself
before you work for other
people."
The majority of Lauterer's
photographs are of "things":
sky, trees, buildings, dogs and
cats. Lauterer says that he is
working "more and more now
with people" but that having
to pose shots frustrates him.
Photographing people is fine
with him so long as the shots
are candid. Included in this
exhibition is one of Lauterer's
first candid shots made in
Greenwich Village in 1963: a
woman holding a sad-faced
basset hound. Basset hounds
seem to appeal to Lauterer.
"They're more expressive," he
says.
"The greatest thing a hu
man soul ever does in this
telling approximately where it
shook, but they don't really
pinpoint the place. Geologists
need to know within about 10
miles.
And this is where the post
master comes in.
Phil Justus, assistant to the
director of the seismograph
station at UNC (an interest
ing position since there is no
director at present) says of
the program to locate quake
centers, "Postmasters of
small towns get most of the
local dope. So when we don't
know where the center is, we
just contact them and usual
ly they can give us the in
formation we need.
"If he himself hasn't felt
any quake - like movement,
he sees plenty of people each
day and can ask them what
they felt."
Policemen, firemen, gas sta
tion operators and others may
receive these letters or cars
too, but the local postmaster

world is to see something, and
tell what it saw in a plain
way. . . to see clearly is
poetry, prophecy and religion
all in one." John Ruskin's
comment on painters, written
in 1856, could just as well ap
ply here to Lauterer's photo
graphy. Photography, Lauterer feels,
is not a matter of being in
the right place at the right
time but seeing clearly what
is always around you.
Occasionally Lauterer feels
the urge to get out and see
new things. This urge usually
hits him in the spring and
when it does he is bound for
the mountains. This year he
spent his Easter vacation bum
ming around the Shenandoah
Valley on his bike. "All of a
sudden I began seeing," he
says. This summer Lauterer
will have the opportunity to
see new things with his cam
era when he accompanies the
UNC Glee club on its Europ
ean tour.
The late American novelist

letter is addressed to "Post

to him even if he changed
addresses.
These rural geological spo
kesmen reply in various and
strange ways some of t h e m
never felt a thing; some
thought the atomic war had
started.
But it's interesting how ac
curately the strength of an
earthquake can be gauged by
the sometimes unusual, but
always sincere, answers.
One comment was, 'I thought
at first a small animal was
running across the attic'
Another, "It sounded as if
there had been a terrific ex
plosion. I was positive one or
two large trailer trucks had
wrecked in our driveway."

James A gee had some c o m
ments on the Art of Seeing in
an introduction to a collection
of Helen Leavitt's photo
graphs. Agee wrote: "The ca
mera is just a machine, which
recrods with impressive and
as a rule cruel faithfulness
what is in the eye, mind, spir
it and skill of its operator to
make it record ... by the
artist's crative intelligence a
new kind of reality is creat
ed: aesthetic reality".
There are wonderful things
in the eye, mind, spirit and
kill of ock Lauterer.
One doesn't consider theories
of aesthetics while examining
Lauterer's photographs. Beau
ty speaks for itself. Words
are impotent to convey the
evocative power of a photo
graph of raindrops on a lake
or a little tree silhouetted
against a white sky.
The photographs in Howell
Hall are "poetry, prophecy
and religion all in one"
the work of an original and
imaginative mind.
The field research on North
Carolina's earthquakes is now
being conducted by Dr. J. Ro
bert Butler and Dr. David E.
Dunn.

Bill (Jeer gave his Last
Lecture Wednesday night.
He filled Morrison lounge to
capacity, which meaas there
were about 40 people who
heard him. Because the pro
fessor who claimed he had
nothing profound to say, who
was just "sharing some
thoughts with some friends,"
had in reality a great deal
to say to his audience.
He spoke about individual
ism, education and the stale
and the nation. His overrid
ing theme and his advice to
everyone is "Don't Be Afraid
of Change." He said he was
constantly appalled "that some
people fear change more than
anything in the world. Only
those individuals in society
who can adapt to the chang
ing scene can lead useful liv
es, for themselves and for so
ciety." Geer, who teaches modern
civilization, spoke with genu
ine emotion when he said, "We

may very well do it.
Geer questioned the South's
maintenance of a rural atti
tude, an attitude of vigorous
individualism stemming from
the old frontier days.
"I am a firm believer in
individualism," Geer said.
"Nevertheless, individualism in
a twentieth century industrial
society of large population has
to adapt itself to the condi
tions of today." He specifical
ly opposed the South's attitude
against organized labor as a
part of its modern industrial
life.
Geer said that a good uni
versity must have many minds
to provide a variety of ideas.
"We should not shut off the
world," he said. "How can
we possibly justify being pro
vincial and local in our out
look?" Geer said there are many
outworn cliches of education,
one of them being the sacred
ness of a classical, literary

education. You should "edu
cate yourselves for the future,
not for the present or the
past," he said.
"The world moves very
fast," Geer said, "and if I
were you. in my education I'd
move with it."
Turning to the concept of
the state and nation, Geer said
the idea of states rights is not
valid. "The federal govern
ment has generally been reluc
tant to take powers and re
sponsibilities from the states."
he said. "But generally speak
ing, when it does, the nation

efficient than the state units.
Therefore, Americans, being
practical people, have turned
more and more to the cen
tral government for aid."
Geer said. "The federal gov

Geer said the idea of going
to war. is outmoded. "It's un
thinkable that we have a ma
jor war," he said, "and it's
dangerous to play with so
called minor wars. It's a hor
rible thing to confront an au
tomobile wreck. How lightly
do you deal with the thought
of war in a nuclear age?"
he asked. "Isn't it as outmod

idea that the world is flat?"
Geer concluded that he is
convinced that "man is good

only the greatest good and a
better life."
