Etchings and photos depict Venice
Bv SHAWN MCKAY
By SHAWN MCKAY Entertainment Editor
“Venice Observed” is an exhibition of etchings and photographs of the city at the Helen Fenner Gallery. It also exhibits features the works of Caneloat, Whistler, and Salvati, and can be viewed online.
Unlike the countless travel posters and art pieces, dandelion seeds are the life of love and drifting gandolfs, the artists in the exhibition viewed the fragile city on the Adriatic Sea as a collection of elaborate archaic works.
"Venice Observed" is dedicated to three artists who devoted a part of their lives to the interacres of the cities' buildings and the squares of the city. Canaletto, James Abbott McNeill Whistler and Paolo Salviat recreated their artistic styles, yet each left an injury of the floating canals.
MOST OF the works are by Canaleetto, who made the Venetian view, or veduta, his life work. Canaleetto's pen etched the finest detail of every character and every building into a large, continuous painting that massive building campaigns that left innumerable monuments and public
buildings. Not one detail of the sculptured facades seem to elude his eye, and what his eye sees, his hand transits into a maze of shadow and light.
In his 'View with Reminiscences of
Padua' Canaletto departed from the archi-
tecture, and the city of Padua.
Review
eye sees the patched together buildings of the common workers scattered along the water way—overshadowed by the fanciful artwork of a long fortress pillar or monument.
PERIHIS MIDS his most powerful statement is in "A Bishops Tomb with a View of a Town." The etching represents a mockery of the pump associated with the dead man. His work goes out over the stray animals and wash women who occupy the bishop's sacred shrine.
A flavor of the Veniant love for the oriental landscape can be seen in several of his works. Canaletto treats the twisted foliage with all the finesse and complexity of many of the great oriental print makers.
An aura of sadness pervades many of Whistler's works. His characters are almost the same, but there is a change in the static environment around them, as do the dwellers of Whistler will leave no mark on the perpetual landscape. Their poverty will end with their death, and their life will find its way into the bowel and deacon.
Whistler's etchings and drypots lack the fine, detailed lines of Canaletto. His views of the people are much more impressionistic and simpler in detail.
MOST DESCRIPTIVE of his pessimistic mood is "The Beggars." Whistler places a palpable sense of despair at awaiting the handouts of a more privileged class. The mother's face has lost its beauty and its definable characteristics—she has become another sad shadow in the Venetian
Probably the least impressive works in the exhibit are from the photographs of Paolo Giacomo Mancuso's camera on many of the city's public centers, a testament to the precision of an architectural historian. However, several of his works lack any artistry. In fact, they are very flat representation of an orate facade.
All of his works show exceptional sharpness for photographs taken in the late 1800s. Salviati's collusion wet-plate process creates pictures of extraordinary sharpness. His paintings are provocative. Salviati adds a refreshing dimensionality to the sunlit Venice streets.

Writing lab helps students strengthen necessary skills
By CORAL BEACH Staff Reporter
Although there are no specific sources to fund the lab next year, Robert Cobb, executive vince chancellor, said he was sure money would be available and he was clear, because students had responded positively to it.
Staff Reporter
A visit to the lab writing lab may not turn the average KU student into a Pulitzer Prize winner, author, but it could strengthen basic skills and improve chances for employment.
The Communications Resource Center was organized in 1979 when the National Endowment for the Arts provided training for the project. The NHEM specified that the main students to receive training for KU business students improve their writing skills.
"It has been said by employers that the salesperson must have well-trained, responsible people many have deficiencies in writing and communication skills!" John Tolleson, associate dean of
The Center, commonly called the lab writing, in 4066 Wescow and was designed to aid students who had completed the basic required English courses but still had some problems with writing skills. Therefore, students enrolled in this course were 205 or 235 are not eligible to receive help from the lab.
A good way for students to overcome these
problems, said, was to make use of the
Community Communication Unit.
The NEH grant runs out this soring
The grant also stated that only the lab's first year of operating costs would be paid the commercial side, and no further payments.
was responsible for paying four of the costs, and two-thirds of the project's funds came from the fund.
Cobb said, "The Center has been a vital program with an on-going growth of demand since
More than 200 students made use of the lab's services last semester.
"Although the lab has had somewhat questionable success, response to it has been better this year," James Gowen, director of the program, said. "We are still under-utilized."
Gown said that one reason people did not take advantage of the law was that many did not know
The center is staffed with experienced English instructors who assist students with a variety of problems, according to Claire Sutton, coordinator for the lab. She said students have asked for help with everything from punctuation in a psychology paper to transitions in a graduate project on bi-physics. She stressed that the lab "was not a proof-reading or editing service."
Sutton said the trend during the past two years was that students sought help with job resumes at the beginning of the semester, while term paper problems were brought in later.
Ideally, she said, students should come in earlier to help with term papers because the teachers are usually at work. Each student the individual attention needed. Most of the students who visited the lab were very interested.
The writing lab is open every weekday throughout the semester and its services are free to students.
