Page 6 Features September 16,1993 Western Carolinian Chalk murals represent personal expression Western Carolina's campus police officers discourage creativity in local college artists EDITORIAL Blake Frizzell Features Editor Art, or disturbanceof school grounds? This was the question on my mind as I walked to the chalk mural which was so carefully constructed on the grounds in front of the U.C. last Tuesday morning. You see, I had been told that the campus police had gotten a little upset, to say the very least, that some of the other "drawings" had been placed on the sidewalks last semester. This not only upset me, but made me fearful for the future of expression at WCU. My mind went back to the first designs I saw on the sidewalks last semester. I remembered being in awe of the time and talent that went into it, and wanting to dive into its' beauty. I was sure others felt the same way, tho ugh maybe not as deeply. Everyone who passed by, though, seemed to get some sort of pleasure from it. No, I don't remember one single person being offended,-repulsed, or even slightly bothered by the colors and designs placed on the circular cement. Tliough someone must havebeen, because #1: it was "erased" from the cement, and #2, the artists were "warned" that another could not be created without a permit. A permit for a chalk drawing? Did the same officer tell this to Last Minute Productions when they announced the new and upcoming events in front of Dodson cafeteria on the sidewalk? When talking to a member of LMP on the phone, 1 asked him if indeed they did have to have a permit to do that, he replied, "We get permission from our boss. 1 don't think weactually have to have a permit, as long as it isn't permanent. The worst thing that can happen is tha t it gets washed away in the rain." Washed away in the rain.. Leaving the once decorated sidewalk again, bare, clean/undisturbed, . Disturbed. . Again I must ask, who is disturbed by these murals? Except of course campus police? Anyone? Yoo- Hoo! Is anyone disturbed? Certainly not anyone I see, and believe me, I see. This isn't a vulgar display of spray paint on the side of a building or a vulgar BLAKE FRIZZELL (photo by Meg Padula) display of anything. No, this is art, expression and quite frankly, something that definitely adds atmosphere to the campus. So'please, whoever the phantom(s) are thatare creating these wondrous works of art, please, continue! For if you don't, the next thing that will happen is something else will be considered "wrong." This is a college campus;aplace where freedom of speech, expression, and creativity should be gratified, not stifled. It is time to move forward, and notthe opposite way around.

Main Street, downtown Sylva, NC versity department of art, is hot off the presses. The 1993 edition of "Crits: Discourses on the Visual Arts" contains articles and essays by seven prominent artists, art critics, and commentators. It is edited by Robert Godfrey, head of the art department at WCU, with the assistance of Western artdepartment faculty members James Thompson (co-editor) and Jon Jicha (graphic designer). Contributors to the 1993 edition are Everett Mayo Adelmann, a painter and teacher at North Carolina Wesleyan College; Hal Crowther, former television critic for Time magazine and syndicated columnist for The Independent Weekly; Fielding Dawson, author of the The Black Mountain Book, the only work writtenabout Black Mountain College by someone who studied there; Larry Day, professor emeritus at the Philadelphia College of Art and renowned realist painter; Daniel Jocz, a metalsmith and sculptor from Massachusetts; Mary Parker, an 86-year-old painter from Black Mountain and former teacher at Colby Sawyer College in New Hampshire; and Nancy Proctor, a recent graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who is now working on a master's degree in feminist studies in the visual arts at Leeds University in England. "Crits" was started as an outgrowth of a project Mr. Godfrey did in 1986 for the State Arts Council. The journal, which began publication in 1988, is designed as a vehicle to increase statewide dialogue among artists, writers, students, art administrators, gallery directors and the public. It also serves to promote on a national basis art, artists and writers from North Carolina. "Crits" publishes works by established writers as well as new writers, such as Nancy Proctor who boasts her first publication in this issue. The journal contains criticism and theory on all areas of the visual arts — crafts, fine arts, conceptual arts, video, photography, film and architecture. Writers are free to develop their own position without editorial bias or fear of censorship. This edition of "Crits" is jointly supported by a grant from the North Carolina Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. Unfortunately, "Cntt is unable to get continued support an this could be the last issue.
