Loma Pongmee loves her mom, Niki Hossack and Brock Potuecek love each other, and Kelly Nightengale loves herself.
Love and art meet in downtown gallery
These and dozens of other people viewed expressions of love at the "Who Do You Love?" art show at Olive Gallery and Art Supply, 15 E. Eighth St.
ARTS
Works included Brandon Faith Hill's "A Not-So-Androgynous Toy," a 6-inch bronze penis that pumps out Play-Doh vaginas from its head, and K.T. Walsh's "Valentine Bonnet," a steel bowl with plastic eyes and a love poem on it.
The poem reads: "just a small reminder/In a 'Valentine'-y Way/Say you're being thought of/Very specially today."
"I think it represents different shades of love," Cara Orban, Lawrence resident, said. "I am fond of the 'Valentine Bonnet.' I imagine I would like to walk down Massachusetts Street with it on."
Patrons milled about the gallery drinking free Pabst Blue Ribbon from an ice-filled bathtub while '80s love songs played, courtesy of DJ Pedro, a mannequin dressed in pink hot pants, sunglasses and fishnet stockings.

The opening for "Who Do
Rylan Howe/KANSAN
Angela Mead, Lawrence resident, browses paintings Saturday night at the "Who Do You Love?" art show held at Olive Gallery and Art Supply, 15 E. Eighth St. Mead and her friends found out about the show from local artists. "I came to eat chocolate and look at art," she said. Approximately 50 works of art were on display at the show.
You Love?" is a lot like a house party, said Jill Kleinhans, coowner of Olive Gallery and 2003 graduate.
Despite the error, Pongmee,
Lawrence freshman, plans to
give the piece, made of India ink
and a Lucky Charms box, to her
mother.
Pongmee made "You're a Beautiful Stallion Amongst a Herd of Horses" for her mother, and then realized her mistake: stallions are males.
Brock Potueck's painting "Could It Be?" features him and his girlfriend, Hossack, Lawrence freshman, standing stand next to each other.
"Who Do You Love?" was an unjuried event, meaning everything submitted was accepted as long as it dealt with love.
In contrast to Pongnee and Potueck's works, Nightengale's piece, "Masturbation," is about a different kind of love; a red polo shirt is embroidered with a blue bird over a horseshoe, holding in its beak a banner that says "masturbation."
Their bodies are dark with a red heart attached to their chests.
"It's about the possibilities of love," Potucek, Hutchinson freshman, said.
This is the Olive's second love-themed show for Valentine's Day. Last year the gallery had an exhibit titled "(s)he loves me, (s)he loves me not."
The art will be on display until Feb. 23.
"It's my tribute to Valentine's Day," Nightengale, Lawrence resident, said. "Self-love; the greatest kind of love."
Laura Holgate will deliver a speech called "An Agenda for a Safer World" at 8 p.m. tomorrow at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Holgate is the vice president for the Russia/New Independent States Programs for the Nuclear Threat Initiative advocacy group.
"There's a sheer quantity of nuclear weapons still in the world that remain a threat," said James Woelfel, director of Humanities and Western Civilization programs.
Lectures focus on nuclear threats
The lecture is part of Humanities and Western Civilization program's second annual lecture series for the peace and conflict studies mino

The Nuclear Threat Initiative is an advocacy organization whose research focuses on various aspects of weapons of mass destruction, including chemical and biological weapons. Woelfel said.
The organization advocates the reduction of nuclear stockpiles in countries such as the United States, Russia and other former Soviet Union countries and countries of concern in Asia and the Middle East.
CAMPUS
The lecture is co-sponsored by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the Center for European Studies, the International Studies Program, the department of political science, the Center for Russian and East European Studies and the Women's Studies Program.

SLAVE TRADE
- Nate Karlin

"It was pretty unsettling," MacGonagle said. "It didn't make for a good night's sleep."
MacGonagle went to Ghana in the winter of 2002 to gather research about the coastal slave forts and how they are used today.
The article, "Reclaiming History: The Changing Use of Slave Forts in Ghana," takes a look at some of these changes and how they have affected the history and people of Ghana.
Forts and other aspects of
African heritage are being used as "racialized remembrance," which provides the opportunity to learn about the history of slavery.
It was the last thing many Africans saw before being shipped to the new world.
One fort had a sign welcoming back people whose ancestors were taken during the trade. The door was known as "The Door of No Return."
The slave forts were first used and built by the major European powers involved in the Atlantic slave trade. Garth Myers, professor of geology and African, African-American studies, said that among the British, French, Spanish, Dutch
