CAREFUL. NOW—Sam Van Meter, fine arts sophomore, is beginning the detailed work on his modeling clay portrait, and he'd better take care if he's to gain the approval of his model, Marjorie Pennington, fine arts sophomore.
Strong Hall Sculptors Chisel in Latest Style
A bearded old gentleman chipping away with a hefty hammer and chisel on a stone three times his size—that's the picture most of us get when someone mentions a sculptor.
"That isn't necessarily so any more," said Elden Teft, instructor of sculpture classes. "At least it usually won't be correct here at the University. To begin with, few of our students are either bearded or old."
"Another thing is that we have more modern equipment now." Tefft continued. "Instead of using only a hammer and chisel, the sculpture student can use an air hammer, similar to those used in street construction, although not as powerful. Add to that a polishing and grinding machine, used in finishing, and it can be seen that it's not all done with a hammer and chisel," Mr. Tefft said.
"Even though we do have modern equipment, it still takes a lot of work before a student has a finished product," Mr. Teftt said. He indicated objects of art displayed on the fourth floor of Strong hall as representative of student work.
A torso made from metal, a marble figure, a stone abstract, and an abstract done in wood are displayed in the window of one of the sculpturing workrooms. Metals including lead and aluminum alloys, marble, limestone, wood, and clay are all used as materials in sculpturing.
Completed to an especially smooth finish, the metal torso is the work of Jim Phelps, fine arts sophomore, as is the stone abstract made from limestone. The kneeling marble figure was done by Sam Van Meter, fine arts sophomore. Ruth Ann Sutton, fine arts sophomore, carved the wooden abstract from coco-bola, a wood imported from Central America.
Beginning students, according to Mr. Teftt, are doing simple jobs using clay. Later they'll make complete figures. Advanced classes do sculpturing in stone, metal, and wood, working up construction involving the use of welding.
Mr. Tefft pointed to an armature, or framework, of the human figure as an example of metal construction using welding. The framework, used as a skeleton upon which to build clay figures, was built entirely of nails, cut into the correct lengths and welded in the right places.
"Since very few students will actually become sculptors, we try to keep the projects slanted toward their major field of interest," he explained. "For example, a design major can choose projects that have some connection with designing."
Sculpturing can be dangerous at times. Once a student, carving a figure from a heavy log, dropped his work on his foot. No permanent injury was sustained, according to Mr. Teft.
NOW Votes to Audit 'Patchworks' Program

Also approved was a motion that NOW members audit "Pachworks," Pachacamac's daily radio program, and bring suggestions to improve it to the next NOW gathering.
The remainder of the meeting was given to amending the constitution.
Two concerts will be presented on the University carillon by a guest carillonneur this weekend.

Early American Painting Named Work of the Month
An exhibition entitled "50 Books of the Year 1952," the 31st annual exhibition of the American Institute of Graphic Arts, is on display on the second floor at Watson library.
50-Book Exhibit Shown in Museum
The publications submitted to the institute were judged, not as literary works, but as graphic art forms in terms of design, typography, editorial content and manufacture. In each category the institute looked for "freshness of treatment, lucidity of presentation, and care in execution."
The books are the winners of 650 entries submitted to the institute by printers, publishers, and book producers from all over the country. They are all American books published in the United States this year.
The publications include such works as a cookbook, a reference work, drama, poetry, historical studies, art, popular non-fiction, technical scientific studies, and music.

8 An early American painting, dating from the period around 1835, has been selected for the month of October. Later selections may be other paintings, textiles, or sculptures, according to Dr. Klaus Berger, director of the museum.
An oil painting, the October art work is by an unknown artist and is typical of early American art in the use of bright colors and a straight-forward approach. The picture represents a mother and child.
Dr. Berger said that most American artists at that time were portrait painters who traveled from one city to another to offer their services for portrait painting.
"The purpose behind our choosing a master work of the month is to attract more people to the art museum," Dr. Berger explained. "We want the public to see what we have to offer—to show them what a variety of art works we have."
October's featured painting is displayed in the art gallery on the main floor. An explanation by Edward Maser, curator of the museum, accompanies the display.
Other American paintings, including a special display of art by Kansans, can be seen upstairs in the art museum. Downstairs is a temporary exhibition of oriental prints, and a permanent collection of other oriental art objects.
European paintings and sculpture work are contained in the main floor gallery. Also on the main floor is the "Riemenschneider room," featuring a madonna by Riemenschneider, a German sculptor of the 15th century.
