The 'thrust' of the prof
Sculptor Robert Tobias shows pride in his work. The sculpture is representative of Tobias' concept of expressing tension and thrust in geometric forms.
Sculpture involves thrust and tension
Sculpture involving designs of thrust and tension by Robert Tobias, instructor in the department of design at the University of Kansas, will be displayed at the Omnibus Shop, 9th and Indiana, from 2-5 p.m. beginning Monday, March 16.
Tobias has exhibited pieces in the California State Fair and Exposition, Southwestern Craftsmen's Exhibition and the Walnut Creek (California) Exhibition. His awards include first prize in the Mill Valley (California) Fall Arts Festival, 1965; The Student Center Purchase Award at the First Annual Metal Sculpture Exhibit, Wisconsin State University, 1967; first prize in the Phoenix Jewish Community Fine Arts Exhibit, 1968; and second place in Sculpture, Arizona State Fail, 1968.
Tobias' sculpture utilizes and expresses the elements of thrust and tension in space by the use of geometric components. The degree of thrust is a factor in determining the degree of tension. Tobias describes his sculpture as "minimal hard edge constructions." The geometric forms with which he deals are handled in a nonrepresentational realm.
Tobias received his bachelor's degree in ceramics at Arizona
Addict's father wants drug case investigated
The district attorney, F. T. "Dut" Graham, called the teacher, Richard Hockaday, a "hothead" and said he was playing politics
BROWNSVILLE, Tex. (UPI)
A Los Fresnos school teacher who said his son is a drug addict claimed Tuesday the Brownsville district attorney refused to investigate the case.
Hockaday said he met with Graham three times and left the third meeting "disgusted" when, he said, Graham would not take any action to arrest persons supplying drugs to his 18-year-old son, Theodore.
Graham, who said he was being harassed about the problem to the point where he could not get any work done, said Hockaday's statements were a pack of falsehoods.
Hockaday, making what Graham later termed a "character assassination" appearance before the county commissioner's court, said local law officers were doing what they could but could not get Graham's help in attacking the drug problem.
"I have not refused to do a thing. I told him to get the family physician . . . to find a psychiatrist to look at his boy. That's what his boy needs," Graham said.
"As for the other, I can't go out there and arrest somebody this man wants arrested. The boy's father is a hothead.
The district attorney said he was not running for re-election but that his son was running for county judge.
"I don't know what this man wants and neither does he. It's a bunch of politics. I haven't got to the bottom of it, but I'm working on it and I will," Graham said.

"Whether this stuff is directly connected with that, I don't know. It will take some time to get to the bottom of it," he said.
Hockaday, during his talk to the commissioners court, said his son has slipped from being a good student to being a poor student in school. Hockaday described an apparent LSD trip his son was on.
"I know that by bringing this matter to public attention, I am jeopardizing my family's reputation, my future and perhaps even my life," Hockaday said.

"He was carrying on a ritual with a very bright light shining into his eyes. He was watching himself in a mirror and a radio was blaring hippie music. My son would laugh, cry, sing, scream and occasionally he would almost collapse," he said.

"But I love my son. He does not think so but I do, and I want to do everything possible to stop the illegal use of drugs by young people."
