"Anytime you have people in a certain career who are teaching, they teach the students to do what they do. None of the students have done work which looks like mine. I consider this good since it doesn't turn the school into a great factory."
Avedisian said that each picture dealing with any subject is an end in itself.
"I don't understand why students allow the school to be run the way it is," he said. "I'm beginning to think that 98 per cent of the students deserve what they get. As long as students are willing to take anything without searching or questioning why, they deserve anything that comes to them.

Avedisian explained his work in his manner: "This is only a certain area of art. It represents one of the two active camps in New York City. I can't call it a new, modern trend in art as it is new to each person with each painting."
"My exhibition will probably seem remote here," Avedisian continued. "I would love to know what the exhibition attendance is as compared with the enrollment in fine arts."

Volkswagen brings you an exciting old idea.
We don't expect a standing ovation.
But we do think our belated automatic transmission" deserves at least a smattering of applause.
After all, it does let you drive without shifting and still get up to 25 miles per gal. (You know what ravenous appetites other automatics have.)
It does have the fewest moving parts of any 3-speed automatic. (You know how depressing transmission repair bills can be.)
It does offer you the lightest, most compact 3-speed automatic transmission you can buy. (You know how an automatic can take the oomph out of a car.)
And where can you find our latest triumph?
In the Volkswagen Squareback Sedan and the Volkswagen Fastback Sedan.
Volkswagen. Fastback Sedan.
