Close to 100 people showed up to admire the varied styles and mediums. Works included oils, linens and clay. Also opening was art student Jackie Rae Griffiths senior portfolio, entitled Representations of the Subconscious. Griffith specializes in three dimensional design. Her medium for this exhibit was clay. All sculptures are inspired by someone I know, says Griffith. Nowhere is this more evident than in a work entitled Annie In The Box. The sculpture depicts an old woman with binoculars looking through a window. The piece is completed by a wagging tongue. Also on display are several raku bowls. Raku is a very personal technique. It is done with a raku kiln, this is basically an open fire kiln that has been lined with an asbestos sheet. Temperatures in the kiln often exceed 2000 degrees. The pottery is fired one or two pieces at a time, she said. The piece is removed when it is white hot. You can hear the glaze, which is molten, sizzle and crack. Ive seen raku pieces that, when placed in sawdust, make the wood go up in flames. Besides raku, many other ceramic techniques were displayed. Rhonda Bagleys work, called Dunes, made effective use of both texture and gravity. Her works, mostly in dark and golden glazes, are both pitfired and sawdust fired. Sculptures on display featured several pieces by Todd Robison Furse. Furse shows great promise as a sculptor. His work in alabaster, Swimthrust, is a beauciful marriage of nature and art. Lorraine Palmer and Carla Limb seemed to be the most diverse artists in the group. Each showed great talent working with many different mediums. Palmers work Woman, a plaster study of a woman kneeling is exceptional, as is her watercolor, Rooftops. Some other mediums used by Palmer include prisma, pencil, oil and ink wash. Ugly Eagle, an ink wash by Limb is subtle and distinct. Her oil pastel work Three Nuts makes use of color in a very different and natural way. Thor Larsons Ixaccihual appears to be a cross between a North American primitive and a Mexican still life and absorbs the charm and warmth of both cultures. Many of the exhibits are for sale. All studepts are encouraged to drop by and see the exhibit. Most may be surprised by the quality of work and level of professionalism on display. Gallery hours are weekdays from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and weekends from 1 to 5 p.m. The exhibit will run through June 7. BY LINDA PRINCE The College Trivia Bowl begins at 5 p.m. today in the Student Center lounge and continues Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Sponsored by ASSUSC, the game will run from 7 p.m. each evening. Special Events Director Marty Harris will serve as Master of Ceremonies for the Bowl. The Trivia Bowl is important because it is one of the few truly academic competitions we have on campus, said Harris. According to Harris, students, administration, faculty and the general public will participate with each team consisting of The winning team from each game will move on to face other teams, with the winning team being determined Wednesday night. Categories in the Trivia Bowl include Geography, Entertainment, Arts and Literature, Science and Nature, History, and Sports and Leisure. s. The Scailet and Black not only represents SUSC but is tied, by nature of its origins, to the Utah Shakespearean Festival and to the combined college community efforts now under way to promote southern Utah, says SUSC Director of Development Vaughn McDonald. The SUSC band was selected to march in the centennial celebration by a committee of five national marching bands and several of the nations finest marching band and music education specialists. SUSC Coordinator of Fine Arts David Nyman says, They represent bands of championship caliber and several of the nations finest marching band festivals. Its indeed an honor for SUSC to be represented at the national celebration. According to Nyman, a ceremonial band differs from a marching band in many respects. Because it is a concert-typ- e hand, it can perform at more serious functions, much like a symphonic band, it is able to function with fewer numbers than other bands, the U.S. corps style for example. under way After a question has been asked, a team has 10 seconds to buzz in and give an answer. If the answer is incorrect the other team has 10 seconds to respond. If this answer is incorrect, the team is not penalized and a new question from the same category is asked. Answers may be discussed within the group but the answer must be given by the designated team captain. The team that correctly answers a question chooses the category for the next question. Each correct answer is worth three points and each incorrect answer by the first team to buzz results in a reduction of two points. Fifty-fift- y questions will not be asked. Except for the championship game, all games will be played for 15 minutes, at the end the team with the most points will be declared the winner. Officials of the game will have the last word in all disputes. |
