Spencer Museum of Art to feature illustrator
"I thought it was just a great day," he said. "Any day that incorporates the present with the past with the future is always a great day."
Carter Goodrich, a chief illustrator for the animated film, The Prince of Egypt, will speak at 6 p.m. today at the auditorium in the Spencer Museum of Art.
Goodrich is one of seven professionals selected by the School of Art and Design's visual communications committee for the Fall 1999 Hallmark Symposium series, which aims to show students the variety of professional design jobs available.
Barry Fitzgerald, associate professor of design, said the lecture series had traditionally concentrated on the graphic design industry, but now selected professionals from all areas of design. He said the committee considered the interests of faculty and students and tried to find a balance among the artists they bring to campus.
"It's like a kid in a candy store," Fitzgerald said. "There are so many great artists out there."
Goodrich regularly creates artwork for national magazines such as Time, Forbes, GQ and The New Yorker. He has also illustrated two children's classics, The Nutcracker and A Christmas Carol.
Goodrich recently moved to Los Angeles to pursue character development for film and television. In addition to working with DreamWorks as chief illustrator for The Prince of Egypt, Goodrich has worked on projects for Fox and Pixar.
This presentation is open to the public.

Dust storm in Oregon causes fatal collisions
PENDLETON, Ore. — A blinding dust storm blowing across a stretch of interstate 84 set off three deadly collisions between semitrailers and cars Saturday that left six dead and inured at least a dozen more.
Dozens of vehicles were involved in the three pileups in the eastbound lanes, said Lt. Gregg Hastings, an Oregon State Police representative.
The Oregon Department of Transportation said two crashes in the westbound lane, each involving semitrailers and passenger vehicles, killed one person each.
At the same location in the eastbound lane, a crash involving five trailers and 11 vehicles claimed four lives.
Visibility was reduced to near zero, police said.
The accidents in the wheat and sagebrush country 175 miles east of Portland happened late Saturday morning.
The highway was closed in both directions, backing up traffic for miles and forcing lengthy detours through Walla Walla, Wash. The westbound lanes were reopened in the evening.
Hot weather impedes efforts to battle fires
BIG SUR, Calif.—Hot weather and dry conditions had firefighters stepping up efforts to battle large wildfires on the central coast and in Northern California.
Firefighters were working in high term temperatures to widen fire lines in anticipation of a cold front, which was expected to bring winds of 30-40 mph yesterday.
Heavy smoke was restricting air operations, and steep, rugged terrain was hampering firefighters' efforts to construct fire lines, officials said.
In the Trinity Alps Wilderness, about 200 miles north of San Francisco, two fires had burned 57,265 acres as at Saturday morning.
The fires, started by lightning strikes, threaten several Native American cultural sites. Firefighters have agreed not to build fire lines through an area considered sacred by the Hupa Nation.
To the south in Big Sur, three fires in the Ventana Wilderness of the Los Padres National Forest had burned 40,197 acres by Saturday morning, fire officials said.
Explosions, fire destroy sections of Mexican city
WORLD
MEXICO CITY—A series of explosions and a fire destroyed a section of downtown Celaya in central Mexico yesterday, killing at least 1.5 people, authorities said.
The explosions, which began about 10:30 a.m., apparently involved both a storage site for fireworks and gas tanks at a restaurant. Officials were not sure which blew up first. A fire that destroyed neighboring buildings was under control by early afternoon.
"It's a very big tragedy," said Mayor Ricardo Suarez in an interview with the national TV Azteca network. He said more than 200 people were injured, and at least 15 bodies had been recovered. Suarez said there could be many more people in the rubble in this industrial city 120 miles northwest of Mexico City.
Local radio stations reported that the army was called in to help seal off the disaster site near the city's main bus terminal.
Taliban bomb opposition for two straight days
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—Taliban jets bombed a northern position stronghold for the second straight day yesterday, killing 11 people, most of them children, and forcing residents into underground bunkers, said an opposition representative.
sombs were dropped yesterday over Taloqan, the capital of northern Takhar province, wounding 28, said Mohammed Abil, an opposition representative, in a satellite telephone interview from the war-battered area.
At least 40 Taliban soldiers also were killed and many wounded in a fierce battle Saturday for Dashte-eArchi, he said. Eight opposition soldiers were killed and 16 others wounded.
Sixteen people were killed Saturday in bombing raids on Taloqan, and scores more were injured. Local hospitals are overwhelmed. Abil said.
