FACULTY ART EXHIBIT HERE by Cathy Warlow Stetson art lovers had an opportunity during October to see I examples of the work of the | university art department's fae- ■ ulty members. In the annual j Art Exhibit contnuing from October 9 through the 31st, Fred ! Messersmith, head of the depart- I'mcnt and associate professor; j Louis Freund, artist-in-residence ■ at Stetson; and Eugene Bunkei", i assistant professor, exhibited their j varied works. I Messersmith's work was for the ' most part done either in casein ! on rice paper or in oils. Repre ' sentative of the casein paintings | was his delicately lined drawing ; of a familiar negro country shanty which he entitled "Give Me Your Poor.' This painting, done primarily in tones of grey and j brown, was in direct contrast to | his casein rendering of the cool I blues and greens of "St Augustine I Bay." Messersmith, whose work | will appear in two national publications in December 1960, displayed a wide variety of oil paintings ranging from the moody reflected version of "Storm over Daytona" to his more abstracted impression of a fernery. Mr. Messersmith will exhibit his work again this spring in his second one-man show in New York City. Mr. Freund's pen and ink drawings made during his seven years of study in Mexico and Central America show the Mayan and Aztec cities, tombs, temples, and palaces he has visited. Freund has reproduced the Aztec gods Blood Drive On The West Volusia Blood Bank under the direction o' Major Caccavajo will conduct a blood Drive on Stet?on campus Nov. 9 between the hours of 10 and 12 and 1:30 and 4:30 in the SUB. One room has been reserved for the drawing of blood. A canteen in an adjecent i'oom has been set up for coke, orange juice, and cookies to be given free. The Liberal Arts School officers, headed by Paul Storm,President, will push and organize the drive from the student angle. In the past four years, one student from Stetson has drawn more blood than the entire University has given. If you are an unmarried minor, i.e. under 21, a release slip signed by your parents will permit you to give. It is unneccesary to obtain permission if you have given to this blood bank at a previous date. (E|d. Note: This is one of the most worthy drives which will be conducted on this campus. We need not elaborate on the vital part which whole blood plays in the saving of many lives which would otherwise be lost.) - FLASH - Ouly one student in class of 30 (PE311- Politics, Parties, and Pressure Groups, Dr. John Johns), predicted Florida will go democratic. 19 Florida counties represented. NIXON - 11 KENNEDY - 6 Split - 2 OMICRON DELTA KAPPA AKES FOURTEEN MEN Yesterday was a very spec;al day for twelve Stetson men and two faculty members. In a unique tapping ceremony, Omicron Delta Kappa, National Leadership Honor Society for College Men, took into its membership Jim Lanier, Brad Hutchings, Gary Maris, Charles Royal, Bill Sims, Dan Vaughen. Jay Haskell. Jim Morgan, "Lex" Lexow, Wes Johnston, Charles Raisner, and John B. Adams Jr., all. of whom are students. Dr. Beights and Prof. Giffin were the two faculty members who were .tapped. The tapping ceremony was different . this year from any in the past. Members of ODK went to the classroom of the individual to be tapped and performed that ceremony in. the room. The tappee were then taken to room 207 in the "Student Union Build- and the pre-Columbian sites of Guatemala which he saw during a year's leave of absence from the campus. A sequence? of forcefully painted compositions entitled The Way of the Cross completed Mr. Freund's contribution to the exhibit. Painted in the past five years, these nieces tell of the crucifixion of Christ and are entitled individual! v "Road to Calvary," "Crucifixion," "My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forseken Me?", "Descent from the Cross," and "Entombment." Eugene Bunker's work was mainly with ceramics. In his second year at Stetson, Mr. Bunker is the winner of awards and honors in national ceramics competitions, and he showed original glazes, stoneware vases and bottles, earthenware pitchers and storage jars, a vitreous porcelain vase, and mosaic coffee-table he made with the assistance of his wife, Pat. An original stained- glass window which took Bunker five months to complete attracted special attention at the exhibit. The artist used two thousand test pieces before the colors for the leaded-glass work were obtained. Divided into two parts, the upper half is entitled "Fox and Grapes," and the bottom portion of the window is an illustration of "St. James." Patrol Jobs Open A number of Stetson graduates have found that a career with the Border Patrol of the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service of the Department of Justice offers the type of future that they find most interesting and satisfying. This group of men leads a wide- ranging life, carrying considerable responsibility throughout different parts of the United States. A representative will be at Stetson on Tuesday, November 8th, to discuss the opportunities offered by the Border Patrol to graduating seniors.
