POTTERY DISPLAYED — The courtyard of the new

onstrations in ceramics, pottery, portraits, oils and metal
sculpture yesterday in conjunction with the seventh annual
Cherry Blossom Festival. Looking over the pottery done by
Rick Mahonski, far right, are Richard Derby and Debbie
Flitcraft. Woman in rear left is unidentified.

METAL SPIDER — Joseph DiRisio, a senior art major
at Wilkes College, works on a metal spider during yester­
day’s art demonstrations and displays sponsored by the
Wilkes College Fine Aits Association in the courtyard of
Stark Learning Center. Leaning against the workbench is an­
other work, a metal cross on a sland, by DiRisio. Many
spectators watched DiRisio and other art students show how

they created their works.

Cold weather and brisk winds j
put a damper on yesterday’s
festivities planned for the
Cherry Blossom Festival, on the
South River Common, however, 1
those who braved the elements
seemed to be enjoying them­
selves. And the cherry trees
complied by being in blossom.
Several booths, set up by the
various clubs at Wilkes College,
provided participants with
games and refreshments, while
other persons clustered in front

Board's bandshell at the lower
end of the Common where a
steady program of entertain­

'ERY DISPLAYED — The courtyard of the new
lining Center was the scene for displays and dems in ceramics, pottery, portraits, oils and metal
yesterday in conjunction with the seventh annual
ossom Festival. Looking over the pottery done by
onski, far right, are Richard Derby and Debbie
. Woman in rear left is unidentified.

Cold weather and brisk winds
put a damper on yesterday’s
festivities planned for the
Cherry Blossom Festival, on the
South River Common, however, 1
those who braved the elements
seemed to be enjoying them­
selves. And the cherry trees
complied by being in blossom.
Several booths, set up by the
various clubs at Wilkes College,
provided participants with
games and refreshments, while
other persons clustered in front
of the Wilkes-Barre Recreation
Board's bandshell at the lower
end of the Common where a
steady program of entertain­
ment was provided.
'
/'And across the street, in the
/courtyard of the new Stark
Learning Center, several dem­
onstrations in the various fields
of art, sculpture and ceramics
were drawing the attention of
those persons who decided to
escape the winds blowing off the
river. An espi’esso cafe also pro­
vided hot coffee and pastries
for persons with weary feet.

Teaching Positions:
Few, But Available
This is the second in a
series of articles dealing
with employment oppor­
tunities.
By Sandy Akromas
“What’s your
major?”
“Education.”
(Snicker)
“Good Luck.”
Sound familiar? Unfortu­
nately, that is the story these
days. Education majors are
definitely on the bottom rung
of the job market ladder.
Unlike the scene some five
years ago where recruiters
were abundant, nowadays
recruiters from school dis­
tricts are virtually non­
existent.
Jobs are available, but it is
up to the students to get them.
Some individuals resort to the
political tactics to secure a
position, which seems to be
the ticket to the job. Connec­
tions are sometimes needed —
depending on the school
district. Others will wait
around until someone passes
away. A good start is to
substitute. It may not be very
secure, but it is a beginning.
“What Wilkes
students
forget is that there are not that
many jobs in anything,”
asserted Assistant Professor
Edwin Johnson of the Educa­
tion Department.
“There is somewhat of a

decline in the number of
students taking student teach­
ing because they think the
market for teachers is not that
good. Student teaching is a
dimension' students need and
will profit by ... it provides a
job option and 18 credits . . .
this of course pertains to the
secondary ed major.”
__
“Student teaching also
provides
an
insurance
policy, especially for women.
They always have the option
of going into teaching after
they have children because
they would be home after
school and during the sum­
mer. Also, if her busband dies,
a woman has a good career to
fall back on.”
According to
Johnson,
Wyoming Valley and North­
eastern Pennsylvania are
growth areas. He said the
area is going to grow
economically and the schools
will increase also. The
inter-valley schools are not
growing, but the outside area
schools — Dallas, the Poconos, Abington, etc. — are
growing.
“Last year 180,000 teachers
were hired in the U.S. Wilkes
is placing 40-50 percent of its
student teachers in positions.
The best opportunities are in
sciences, mainly chemistry,

physics and in math.
English and history are down.
Languages are good if you
have two of them or a
language and a different
subject.
Overabundance of Artists
Education is not the only
overcrowded field; fine arts
majors are going to meet with
stiff competition in the job.

market.
One art professor stated the
hard fact: “There is an
overabundance of artists.”
“With this in mind, the
individual has to decide'what
he wants, and if he has the
capabilities to get it and put up
with it . .
“In New York City, for
example, the competition is
even tougher. It takes a
certain kind of individual to
put up with the ‘hanky-panky.

from page 1
It’s unfortunate there are so.
many opportunities in the art
field.”
It is to one’s advantage to
have a liberal arts back­
ground. “I think an artist
should have a background of
literature, science, history,
and math. A professional art
school provides a great deal of
studio work, but an artist
needs these courses for
personal growth.”
“Their experience in per­
sonal growth will be helped by
liberal arts either directly or
indirectly.”
Offering advice, she said, “I
think to get anywhere, fine
arts majors should be en­
couraged to have continual
exposure and growth... some
should be encouraged to go to
grad school... but there are
exceptions.”

Henry Casilli, chairman of
the Fine Arts Department.
offers a solution to the
in-coming fine arts majors.
“Through an individualized
studies program, with a
possible apprenticeship, a
student could receive training
in a number of areas.”
“For example, LCCC stu­
dents complete a two-year
course of study in commercial
art then come to Wilkes to
receive a fine arts back­
ground. Through an in­
dividualized program, our
students could possibly take
courses at LCCC. It would be a
dual involvement.”
At the present time, there
are no formal commitments to
an apprenticeship, but ac­
cording to Casilli, he has had
more responses to the fine arts
flyer (sent to high schools)

than in the past. He noted that
it does take a strong
individual, who is willing to do
something different, to be
involved in the individualized
studies program.
“The present proposal in the
core curriculum revision
would help art majors. It
would provide them with the
choice of taking a minor or a
double major. This gives them
more of a chance in the job
market.”
Double Majors Encouraged
Mathematics majors are
also strongly encouraged to
take a double major, accord­
ing to Dr. Bing Wong,
chairman of the Mathematics
Department.
A double major in math and
foreign language, for ex­
ample, gives the future
teacher an edge over someone
who just has the math degree.
“A natural field to .combine
with mathematics is econo­
mics. Prestigious graduate
schools accept more math­
economics majors with a
degree than just business
majors,” asserted the depart­
ment chairman, “math lends
itself to management and
economics.”
Dr. Wong highly recom­
mends students to attend
graduate school.
“One’s
training will determine his job
and salary. The better trained
the student is, the better
qualified he is for the better
position.”
“Some companies (IBM,
Bell Laboratories) will hire
our graduates, and at the
company’s expense, send
them for additional training.”
Mathematics majors can
choose a career in a variety of
opportunities: industry —

computer programming; op­
erations research; statistics;
or consulting; government:
and in the actuarial science

�Material Worth $1850

Thieves Strike Art Department
By Joe Buckley
During the past semester and
early this semester, certain areas of
Wilkes College have been subjected
to an unusual amount of theft.
From August 1975 to January 1976,
material worth about $1,850 has been
stolen from the Art Department in
. Stark Learning Center and Conyng­
ham Art Gallery, according to
Henry Cassili, Art Department
chairman.
Also, an undetermined amount of
cash was taken from several pinball
machines in the Commons game
room, according to Assistant Dean
Edward Baltruchitis.

The missing art department ; ferring to a key system he uses
equipment, some of which was I which allows any student who is rebolted to tables, includes the fol-1 gistered for one of his art courses to

areas more by using a key system.
—a matt cutter—$300.
It is not yet known who executed
the theft in the art department or
what happened to the stolen mater­
ial. Casilli said that some of the
equipment could be used by the
individual or individuals who took it
and, also, that some of it could be
sold.
Concerning the Commons game
room incident, Baltruchitis said a
second-floor window was apparently
broken to gain access to the facility.
He added that Dave Trethaway,
manager of the game room, told him
that he “has a good idea of who
broke in.” Baltruchitis added that
the suspects are students.
Roth Novelty Company, owner of
the equipment, removed two pinball
machines from the game room for
repairs last Thursday and replaced
them with a single machine.

according to Salley, “to take precaution against whatever may happen in the future and not as a response to what did happen.”

New Security Works Well
Salley said the new security
system has “worked out very, very
well” since it began on January 7.
“The security of the area” he said,
“has gone from practically zero to
99.9 percent.”
The new system is set up with two
stationary guards, one in the SLC
lobby and one in the New Men’s
Dorm, who monitor the alarm sys­
tem while three zone guards patrol

the campus grounds.
John Pringle, SLC lobby guard,
said “the guards are all trained for
this job. The majority are ex­
military.”
Pringle said security is very tight
because no one can enter the SLC
after nine o’clock without showing a
Wilkes I.D. card and written per­
mission from Francis Salley. Per­
mission slips are given mostly to
cleaning personnel.
The three zone guards do not
patrol in any set pattern, according
to Pringle. However, no guard can
leave his zone and go into another
unless the stationary guard tells him
1 that he is needed in that zone.
Zone One covers the northern
third of the campus, including
Parrish Hall, Sturdevant Hall,
Shawnee Hall and Conyngham Art
Gallery.
Zone Two covers the middle third
of the campus, including the Annette
Evans Faculty Lounge, Kocyan
Hall, the Library, Kirby Hall, Weckesser Hall and the SLC.
Zone Three covers the southern
third of the campus, including Bed­
ford Hall, Dennison Hall, the gym,

40c for lunch."
There is a story about all 25

any one of them. He points to his
fossil remains of a reptile and
reports that it’s called “Kar­

Egypt where the diggings have
unearthed many examples of
that early culture. He talks
about his “Composition with
Tetrahedron," about how some
of the best pieces of material
you can get are from junkyards,
and lucidly suggests that “a
sculpture is something that

defines space, makes it
important.”
He has been livinq in West
Chester for the past 20 years
and for the last eight has been
teaching at the Delaware Art
Center in Wilmington-. A
number of his pieces have been
bought by the Delaware Art
Museum, where there recently
was a one-man show of his
work. His exhibit will be at the
Conyngham Gallery through

Finally, there are two de­
scriptive pieces, “September”
and “Seedling,” both clearly
seen as rather true-life expres­
sions of nature. ?September” is
a sort of Druid-like construction
representing the death or slow­
ing down of nature for its re­
surrection in the spring, while
“Seedling” is a perfectly na­
tural slice of life.

Started Studying Engineering

Smith started out as a painter
and ultimately found his
paintings getting darker and
blacker and more linear, lead­
ing him finally to the medium
that he is working in now. Hav­
ing had some experience with
working in steel in Mexico,
where he was studying after
getting out of the service in
World War II, he began to
develop his talents along this
new line.
“My forms come from na­
ture,” he pointed out, "and I get
them the hard way by looking
and studying in great detail. I I
don’t believe in superficial ob- I
servation; I believe in really

In her paintings, Gisila deals with the properties of space I
and objects in space, a theorem encountered as far back as
the 3rd millennium B.C. by Egypt and Babylon.
The artist admits of having been influenced by several
modern Masters as well as by. the Mandala style (Sanskrit
"circle”). Mandalas are commonly square or rectangular in
shape and divided into various sections.
Gisela Beker restricts herself to the pure spectrum
colors. The strong contrasts that she favors give depth and
the cloud-like underpainting creates a new kind of move­
ment, resulting in an unexpected touch of naturalism.
She is a member of the National Association of Women
Artists, Allied Artists of America, Les Surindependants of
France, American Society of Contemporary Artists, Metro­
politan Painters and Sculptors, and the Asociacion Belgo'

Hispanica,
Belgium.
Mrs.' Beker
has presented "One Man Shows" at the
Bodley Gallery, N.Y., Women’s Building, California, Hunts­
ville Museum of Art, Alabama, and Louisiana Arts and Sci­

ence The

Wilkes College Conyngham Gallery is open 1-5 p.m.

‘Untitled’ 1975: Photograph by Mark Cohen

L~—■,

Why take these photographs
in the first place?

cc

documentaries
Second of a series
“The word document is less and less a
very useful concept. It refers to a style - it
is a style of lying."
With deft humor, John Szarkowski, direc­
tor of photographs at New York’s Museum
of Modern Art, shatters one of the most te­
nacious myths in the history of photography
and focuses on the central issue in photog­
raphy today - the questioning of the au­
thenticity of truth in the photograph.
The word document (from the Latin,
documentus, meaning to show proof of
something was first used in 'elatwm to

Three Men'-

Jhechristian science

monitor

photography, social landscape, new Am
ican imagery, information-carrying phot.
raphy, or, simply, snapshots - are dealt;
with this awareness. On the one hand, ph.
tographers are introducing the reality of
photographic subjectivity in subtle devices.
Lee Friedlander, for example, often in­
cludes his shadow - as in his photo shown
on the right - a reflection of himself in a
window or his own foot in his pictures,
slight reminders that the photographer was
present when the picture was taken; Mark
Cohen (top photo on left) gets so close to
his subjects that the fragmented vision and
perspective distortion suggests an altera­
tion of reality; Garry Winogrand always in­
troduces a note of incongruity which forces
our. sensibilities to fluctuate between the
real and the absurd; and Stephen Shore’s
lush color renditions of American main
streets are so overstated - “he manages to
give a Vermeer-like luminosity to the anti­
septic supermarkets of Middle America,”
writes critic Max Kozloff - that we associ­
ate them more with unrealism than if they
were rendered metaphorically in black and
white.-The paradox of illusion and fact
which exists at the heart of every good pho­
tograph is the central theme in these pic­
tures.
A number of other photographers, on the
other hand - Robert Adams, Ed Ruscha,
Henry Wessel Jr., whose street photograph
appears at bottom left-hand corner, Joe
Deal, Frank Gohike - have moved in an opposite.direction. By removing every trace
.of personality from the work and by promoting uninteresting subject matter as a
imain theme, they seemed to have created a
.styleless art. Recording the signs, tele­
phone poles, gas stations and highways that
form the visual unbeauty of a new Amer­
ican landscape, as well as the ordinary
people moving randomly through its main
streets, they deal, in Szarkowski’s words,
with “the empty spaces between happen­
ings, the ’ anti climactrc non-event, the in­
decisive moments and the unmemorable oc­
casions in the unheroic, hapless and untidy
lives of individual men.” In the traditional
document, the subject is more important
than the photographer. In these pictures,
neither subject nor photographer seem to
have any importance. They look as if the
photographer stopped, aimed his camera,
made a quick unpremeditated exposure and
turned away in the space of a few seconds.
The result, however, is not an impersonal

�Married in St. Nicholas Church

(Photo by Lyons Studio)

MRS. HARRY R. COOPER

St. Nicholas Church, Wilkes-Barre, was the setting
for the recent wedding of Miss Debra Ann Muessig,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl G. Muessig, RD 1,
Noxen, and Harry R. Cooper, son of Mr. and Mrs.
William Cooper, Shrine Acres, Dallas. Rev. Albert E.
Oldfield performed the double ring ceremony.
The bride, escorted to the
altar by her father, wore a
Bianchi Qiana gown which featured a pearled and crystal
bibbed empire bodice and redingote type skirt which flowed
into an attached chapel-length
train. Her chapel-length veil of
silk illusion fell from a pearl
and crystal cloche. She carried
a formal Edwardian cascade

arrangement of white duchess
roses and white Jack Frost ros. es. The arrangement was interspersed with baby’s breath and
greens.
Mrs. Barbara MacLauchlin,
Newport News, Va., sister of
the bride, was matron of honor,
and Miss Beth Jenkins was
maid of honor. They wore for­
mal matte jersey gowns in per­

simmon designed by Bianchi
featuring an empire A-line si).
houette, high draped neckline
and long tapered sleeves. They
wore matching draped Camelots with waist-len rth veils and
carried old-fashio ted colonial
arrangements of B&lt; linda sweet­
heart roses interspersed with
gysophila.Long formal stream­
ers accented their bouquets.
Bridesmaids were Miss El­
len Stasko, cousin of the bride;
Miss Cindy Osborne and Mrs.
Diane Pilosi. They wore gowns
of moss green identical to the
honor attendants and carried
identical colonial bouquets.
Christine Carmadella, Olathe,
Kansas, niece of the bride, was
flower girl. Her gown was a
minature silhouette in persim­
mon and she wore Belinda ros­
es and baby’s breath in her
hair. Her bouquet was a coloni­
al in miniature.
William Cooper, brother of
the bridegroom, served as best
man. Ushers were Tony Bonomo, Jonathan Valentine, Gene
Mohen and Vito Pilosi. Christo­
pher MacLauchlin, Newport
News, Va., nephew of the
bride, was ring bearer.
Mother of the bride chose a
floor-length Jeri Mosle original
gown in seafoam green with
matching accessories. The
bridegroom’s mother wore a
floor-length Galina gown in tahiti with matching accessories.
Both wore corsages of white

CHILDREN’S MUSEUM PROPOSED — series of meetings are being held by a group of i
parents'and professional persons intei'ested in the development of a children’s museum and j
learning resource center for Wyoming Valley. Discussions were held recently in the art I
education room at Wilkes College and at St Stephen’s Parish House.
|
Shown reviewing the children's museum proposal are standing/left to right, John |
Zimmerman and Charles Hardwick and seated, Amy Zimmerman, Erin Gallagher and Gary '
Gray.
'
Also participating in the meetings were Frank Harrison, Julie Pierson, Merna Haeseler,.
Jacqueline Lekstrom, Charles Leo, John McCutcheon, Jane Stahlhut and Donna Dungey.
Based on existing projects in Boston, and Cleveland, this program would exist as a
supplemental learning program to presently existing educational resources in Wyoming Valley;
Nearly every program in the area concerned with teaching children is being contacted about this '
effort with the hope that an initial project might begin in this summer.

I Joe, a junior, who scales in

an oil portrait which in short

“I got the idea about a week
after our season finale with Al­

art major, who spends a great
amount of his spare time as the
art editor of the Amnicola, the
annual student yearbook.
“A fellow art major brought

game, 14-9, and the triumph
gave us the MAC title,” Dett­

“It was the first time that I

“A more lasting impression and
understanding” of the material and
the work will be the goal of the Fine
Arts 101 class, according to
Department Chairman Henry R.
Casilli.
The 101 class will no longer involve
team teaching. Instead the lecture
and workshop or studio sessions of
the class will be taught by the same
instructor.
Casilli feels that coordination of
the material will be better with the ;
involvement of the same teacher, i
The classes also will be more
flexible for the teacher. He or she
can adjust the lecture and studio
time to fit the needs of the class.
The emphasis in the 101 class is on
kinds of drawing and painting, and
the different medias involved. Also
taught in some classes is con­
struction with different materials
such as clay.
Casilli stresses that the Fine Arts
101 class is for students who have an
interest in the fine arts. Students are
not judged harshly on artistic value.
The studio time is an experimenta- j
tion in understanding through doing. .
Although talent would help the
student it has no strong bearing on
his grade.
!
There is additional criterion in I
grading the course. Teachers have i
the options for giving tests, and |
written assignments. Class partici- |
pation and discussion also is i
stressed.
’
Casilli points out that the
enrollment in Music, Theater Arts,
and Fine Arts 101 classes has
decreased but he feels that this is
due to more students pursuing a B.S.
degree and choosing to take their
arts elective later.
In registering for the upcoming
semester, students should note that
the 101 class is also taught in evening
school. The Fine Arts 102 class picks
up where 101 leaves off. Diversifica­
tion of media and a more advanced
approach to art are features of this
class. The 101 class is a prerequisite
to 102.

�Foreign Lands Depicted At Mission Festival
Many area residents at­
tended the Ecumenical
Mission Festival sponsored
by the Christ United
Methodist Church and the
Mountaintop Cluster. The
event was held Sunday in the
Methodist Church.
Displays focused attention
on missionary work in
various countries by the
participating churches. One
of the most colorful was that -g
presented by Mr. and Mrs.
Richard Fuller depicting the
culture of the Alexandria $
Cairo area and from the
region of Upper Egypt
(Luxor and Oaswan). The
exhibit included a valuable
painting by Seif Wanley, an
Egyptian artist who received
the state award for the
highest contribution to the
arts. Mr. and Mrs. Fuller
' spent a year at the Schutz
in
American
School
Alexandria, Egypt, as
volunteers through the
Volunteers - in - Mission
Program of the United
Presbyterian Church. Mrs.
Fuller, a registered nurse,
served as school nurse and
teacher and her husband was
an art teacher at the school.
Mr. Fuller presently is
serving as a professor '
at Wilkes College.

A display of Egypt was presented by the Richard Fuller family. The exhibit contained a
camel bag, woven items, a painting and other items. Mr. and Mrs. Fuller spent a year as
volunteers at the Schutz American School in Alexandria, Egypt. He served as an art
teacher and his wife was a school nurse. Pictured from the left: Mrs. Cheryl Fuller,

new orientation. But that is not the ap­
proach in photography today. What photog­
raphers are saying is that we understand
the world through images, that reality
today is measured against photographs and
r^Uty essontlully m„„
sured against whut we imagine it would t&gt;e
if'it was photographed. Pictures provide the

drily experience for a great segment of the

society that really has no opportunity to
move outside of itself; it has come to form
that kind of function. That is, by and large,
what these photographs are about - photo­
graphic vision, re-enforcing the fundamen­
tal sociological phenomena of the present
day which is that we see through pictures.”
Regardless of serious aims, however, one
cannot dispel the pervasive fact of boredom
in, most of this work. They simply do not
tell us very much that is new and (apart
from the feeling that it may be a lack of vi­
sion that is responsible for their in­
sensibility) it does not go unnoticed to most
of us that a more interesting world exists
than is pictured in these images. While it is
perhaps unfair to apply aesthetic standards
to documentary photographs, still one feels
the lack of intensity, the involvement, the
commitment to an ideal usuaUy associated
with a work of art.
“Art ” writes critic Susan Sontag, "gives
rise not to conceptual knowledge (which is

the distinctive feature of . . . philosophy,
sociology, psychology, history) but to some­
thing like an excitation, a phenomenon of
commitment, judgment in a state of thral­
dom or captivation.”
Thc-n.- .x.w
vbvVxcial Implications, never reach nor strive tor

that energy which classic French documen­
tary photographer, Henri Cartier-Bresson

describes so well both visually in his own

pictures and verbally: “The camera is a

weapon,” he says. “It’s not a propaganda
means, but it’s a way of shouting the way
you feel. . . . It’s an affirmation. It's like
the last three words of ‘Ulysses’ of James
Joyce. It’s ‘Yes, yes, yes!’ ”
Pictures today appear to have lost this
capacity for celebration. They are not offer­
ing any solutions to the contemporary ma­
laise, but, are rather posing questions.

LEATHER WORK—The large display case in the art department in the Stark Learning Center now
contains the work of Carolyn Lovejoy, a senior fine arts major.
The leather crafting display shows the steps in making a belt from leather and also the process for sewing
leather.
The materials used in the display are from &lt;he Moods in Leather Shop, 91 South Main Street,
Wilkes-Barre.
The designing of a display case is a requirement for a senior exhibit class. Each student in the class has
the responsibility of gathering the materials for the display and then designing the layout of the case. ...
Carolyn’s senior exhibit will open later this month. After graduation in the spring, she jokingly says she
“is gonna pump gas.” But in reality, her plans are to teach art in either an elementary or secondary schu J.
She hopes to later return to school for her masters degree and will perhaps someday teach on a college level.
Carolyn is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Donald G. Lovejoy, 9 Timber Lane, Painted Post, N.Y.

“Never dull . . . something
different everyday ... with the
shows, brochures. . . I really love
it!” declares Cara Berryman
assistant director of the Sordoni Art
Gallery.
The Gallery, which opened with
the “George Catlin” exhibit on
November 25, 1973, is an integral
feature of the Stark Learning Center
on the Wilkes College campus to be
dedicated on Saturday, October 11.
Three years ago, the Andrew J.
Sordoni family donated the Gallery
as a gift to Wilkes College and the
people of the community for the
appreciation of art.
“We have had approximately 25
exhibits in the Gallery thus far. It’s
part of my job to write to other
galleries to obtain shows. The shows
are in all media — sculpture,
paintings, crafts, jewelry, and
ethnic arts, such as quiltmaking,”

Richards, who is also a member of
the Wilkes Art Department. Al­
though the Gallery is a separate
entity from the college, many of the
professors take advantage of the
shows to teach students various
forms of art.
Mrs. Berryman, a Wisconsin
native, who has had professional
experience in gallery work, has
many other duties to perform.
Besides writing to other galleries
and museums for exhibits, she
hangs the shows, arranges recep­
tions for some of the exhibits,
designs and composes brochures,
and is generally a ‘maintenance
man!’ for the 30’ x 40’ complex.
“The shows themselves are
well-attended. I feel, however, that
more people, especially the stu­
dents, should take advantage of the
culture it’s free of charge,” said
Mrs. Berryman.

EXHIBIT—Rick Marchant will open his senior art exhibit Saturday,
November 8, at 8 p.m., at the Conyngham Art Gallery. The exhibit, which
runs to Friday, November 14, includes paintings, prints, photography and
ceramics.
The exhibit will represent Rick’s four years of study at Wilkes and will
show a little of the different areas he’s studied. His entire art experience
has been at the college since he was never involved with art before coming
to Wilkes. In fact, he was originally a sociology major.
Rick feels that his oil paintings are his strongest pieces of work, and
photography is also a favorite medium. The exhibit includes quite a bit of
photography, much of which features scenes from the Maine coastal area.
Commenting on his style of painting, Rick said that he is “definitely a
realist, because I interpret things closely to the way I see them.” He added
that some of his work can be considered realistic with a little
impressionism.
Rick explained that as an artist he needs inspiration. He doesn’t work
according to a schedule, because “you can’t budget time in art.”
The senior art major from Norwich, N.Y., is a resident assistant and the
coach of the Wilkes swim team. His coaching responsibilities take up a
great deal of time but he enjoys his experiences with the team.
The exhibit can be viewed from 1 to 9 p.m. daily.

Who says sports and art don’t mix?
Well, if they’re smart, the people who do say it won’t make
that statement when they’re standing anywhere near a 6 foot-2inch, 200-pound Wilkes College, football player who, by coincid­
ence, just happens to be an art major at the local institute of
higher learning.
,
And they DEFINITELY won’t say it when two of the foot­
ball player’s friends( Joe Dettmore and Jim Sanders) who are
as big if not bigger than the first, appear on the scene. They’re
football players and art majors too.

I came up there. If you work in a big city, that kind of rela­
tionship most likely wouldn’t exist because you probably
wouldn’t be in contact with the same person on a routine basis.**
Jim finally w^nt out for the Wilkes football team and let­
tered three years. And he joined the Wilkes College Art Club
and managed to wangle enough time to tutor some kids in the
Upward Bound Program. He plans on applying at Temple, Syr­
acuse or Cornell Graduate Schools of Art after he graduates in
June or next yeai.
By the way, next June will mark another milestone in our
football player-artist’s life. He will be married June 12 to
Wilkes College senior Laura Davis from West Nanticoke who is
studying history and sociology.
"It’s really something,” he grinned. "At home, I’ve already
been moved out of my roohi into one of the smaller ones and
mv brothers have taken over my space. Do you think they’re
trying to tell me something?” he asked with a twinkle. "Ac­
tually. I don’t do much work at home. I really couldn’t if I
wanted to, especially with eight kids and a dog under the same
roof.” J«rn’s sisters and brothers are Kathy, 23; Christine, 20;
Margie, 19; Marie, 15; George, 11; Paul, 10, and Michael, 9.

                  <text>This collection of artwork was created by Wilkes College and Wilkes University students from the 1940s through 2025. It was originally located in the Art Department before being transferred over to the Wilkes University Archives in December 2024 thanks to Sharon Cosgrove, Art Department professor. Because of a lack of documentation for many of the art pieces, some of the metadata fields are unknown including Creators, Dates, or Titles. The student who processed and digitized this collection, Emily Romanoskey, arranged the collection according to the medium type and added a date and creator and title when listed. &#13;
&#13;
If any former Art students see a piece that is theres and sees the piece identified incorrectly, please reach out to Wilkes University Archivist, Suzanna Calev (suzanna.calev@wilkes.edu ), with a link to the digitized piece and the proper information so she can update the collection and make sure the item is labeled correctly.&#13;
