Art show brings diversity
Seniors' work put on display at Art and Design Building
By Stephanie Flite Kansan correspondent
Sotiriou, St. Louis senior, and Koponen, Vantaa, Finland, senior, are two of the 25 art students participating in the senior art show that opened Sunday and runs through tomorrow in the main gallery of the Art and Design Building.
Olga Sotiriou and Mirja Koponen have crafted works of art from objects that most people wouldn't look twice at.
To express the influence of performance art on her work, Soritiru combined two-dimensional and three-dimensional space. In a piece called "Weight of Acceptance," a worm, white chair sits near a painted window shade that exposes a gauzy声 soul adrift on a sea of gray. Thirty bags of sand choke the space below the chair. A sea of sand, as blue as a dream, rests on top of the chair and hovers above in a transparent bag to represent a burden.
Hopefully people will see a part of themselves in this piece. Sotiriu spid.
An impromptu garden, set atop a tangled mess of yarn, lies in front of a massive, scratched cardboard wall. Several chunks of wood rest alongside the white wall, and a pair of green slippers is set nearby.
"Ethnic piece #5: Self-portrait in Spring," by Koponen is a self-portrait of vulnerability and heritage within a garden and springtime setting.

"The blunt material, scratched cardboard and chunks of wood and the ethnic melody are representative of a brutal energy and vulnerability," Koponen said. "It is the chaotic expression of nature and culture, the beauty, pleasure and loneliness."
The nonconventional material and new, expressive forms of art used by Koponen, Sotiriou and the other students in the show reflect the diversity of the instruction students in the art department receive, said Judith
Mirja Koponen, Vantaa, Finland, senior, gives her tulips a drink of water at the senior art show in the gallery of the Art and Design Building. Koponen's exhibit, "Ethnic piece #5: Self-portrait in Spring," along with other seniors' #4: art, will be on display tomorrow.

"Shows like this make the point that KU has a comprehensive program," she said.
Koponen agreed.
"Whatever you want to do,you can do it here," she said.
Halls get hooked on the 'Net
Former residents fund scholarship halls' on-line connections
By Scott MacWilliams Kansan staff writer
KU's nine scholarship halls will gain new information superhighway on-ramps this summer.
Thanks to two former scholarship hall residents, the halls will be wired into the campus Ethernet backbone during the summer. Tom and Jann Crawford Rudkin of Sunnyvale, Calif., graduated from the University in 1973 and have been involved in the computer industry in California
since then. They are donating the entire cost of installation.
Tom Rudkin now works as a software engineer for Connect, Inc., and has previously worked for Intel and Microsoft. The Rudkins' fond memories of life in the scholarship halls helped precipitate the gift.
"We both lived in scholarship halls and feel that they were an integral part of our university education," Tom Rudkin said. He lived in Battenfeld Hall and his wife lived in Miller and Douthart halls.
"We feel that the scholarship halls are a superb living situation that we have not seen duplicated anywhere else," he said.
The current residents of the scholarship halls are happy to hear about the impending internet connection.
"I get on the Web now for lots of things, including research for papers, encyclopedias, and book and movie revisions," said Jason VanNice, Lawrence freshman. "The new connection will be much faster than what we have now, and it won't tie up the phone."
Most scholarship hall residents said they use their current on-line connections for e-mail and other communication needs.
"I like to e-mail my friends at home and at other universities," said Sarah Kennedy, St. Charles, Mo., freshman. "I've done some research there. My math class syllabus is on the Web."
Construction to install the network is scheduled for this summer, and should be completed for students next fall.
