  • MKT/MNGTCLUB Good for Business Headed by Dr. Steven Owens and Dr. Larry Zeigher of the Management and Marketing Departments, respectively, is Western Carolina's Marketing/Management club. This organization is open to anyone with an interest in any aspect of the business world today. Club members participate in informative activities such as hearing guest speakers from top corporations and field trips to tour major industries. This semester, the club will travel to Atlanta Ga the October 12 weekend (which is also the weekend of the Georgia Tech-Western Carolina game). Plansfor the weekend include the touring of the General Motors and Apparal Mart Corporations and possibly the Coca-Cola plant. Also, the school spirited members will get a chance to see the Catamounts in action that Saturday afternoon. The Marketing/Management club itself is divided into three committees; promotions, fund raisers, and programs. A chairperson heads up each committee and is responsible for organizing, managing and directing the activities in which the members participate in. Each committee is also divided into smaller groups. For example, the promotions committee includes radio, newspaper, and "flyer promotions." The fund raising committee has already begun selling raffle tickets to help finance the upcoming tripto Atlanta. The programscommitteeisalsobusy making arrangements for future guest speakers.

Faculty Art Show (continued from page 13) The other drawings in the show, by Jim Smith and William Lidh are, with all due respect, fairly pedestrian in approach, basically realistic, and sadly enough, possess a laid back feeling in which I discern a lack of conviction or motive. This is, by far, more evident in Smith's works than in Lidh's however. In Smith's large pastle "conflict" the only conflict seems to exist between the artist and his attempt at producing forms which would impart a 'feeling of tension in the work,. Instead, the work comes out stilted and unprovoking, and ultimately unsatisfying—a basically mannerist interplay of forms without significance. Bill Lidh's works on the other hand exhibit a childlike naivite of observation which gives the works (especially in "Vision in the Forest") a validity unseen, or more accurately, undiscerned in Smith's works. One question: when will we see more Lidh prints? I, for one, feel they are sorely missed. This show also consists of photographs, ceramics, and glass works. In addition to this, there is one weaving by Perry Kelly. Perry Kelly, WCU's Art Education & Weaving instructor is showing a couple of photographs taken on atriptoChina. Theyare appealing in respecttheir inherent formal structure and architectonic stacking of forms in the composition. This composition, combined with the colors of the buildings photographed, give the pictures a sturdiness of image and construction I find visually intriguing. This is especially true in "Chinese Gate" in which a blurred pedestrian enpnasizes this sturdiness and causes me to reflect upon the long history and tradition of China as contrasted witrh the movement it is experiencing socio-culturally at the present time. Western's current photography instructor, Cathy Griffin, has four photographs of pool scenes included in this show. THese photos depict an instant in which the viewer sees aspects of the portrayed situation that would normally never by scrutinized. These aspects include the circular motion of spinning water as it drips off a spun ball, and the diving forms of swimmers jumping off a dam. Her other two photos show a calmer situation in which , inonecase,thereisafloatingfigure,andin the other, the interaction of a boy and a girl amidst other swimmers. ■ Davis Nichols, WCU's "Artist in Residence" is showing three glass sculptures reminiscent of some type undersea organisms, pods, or barnacles. They are almost Art Nouveau anemones actually. Texturally, they look more like clay, but that's not important—what's important is seems, is their ability to evoke in the viewer associations with some sort of archetypal organic form, their open mouths leanding themselves to multifarious speculation. Last, but definitely not least, are the artists in clay, Joan Byrd nd Bill Buchannan—bothof whom exhibit works, which to my un-clay trained eyes exist nicely enough as containers pleasantly decorated. Joan Byrds works use a textural interplay between glazed and exposed clay surfaces, whereas Bill Buchannans works further develop his continuing interest and skill in the Raku forms. Overall, this year's faculty show exhibits our Art faculty to advantage and disadvantage; showing high points and weakness simultaneously. This show offers the student the opportunity to critique the people who normally are the critiquers as well as the opportunity to know from whence his or her instructor is coming from aesthetically. The show is running in the Belk Gallery until October 9th.
