By JUUET COWAN Asst. Arts Editor When was the last time you Stopped by Ryan Hall? Have you heard the rumors about "painting on the walls?" Have you seen them? The walls of Ryan 1 South that were once a "yucky" blue are now covered with some very original artistic renderings. The idea to brighten up the wing was the brainchild of John Gorman, Wally Hard and Jeff Benson. "It's awful to get up in the morning and look at the same old grungy walls," said Wally. All of the guys agreed that since they had to live in this hall for many months, they had a right to make it attractive. Every guy on the wing got involved in the creation fo the murals. Over a four day period, the guys painted non-stop, taking shifts and playing music in the halls to keep them motivated. Each painting averaged between 13 and 20 hours work, with some taking on the up side of Sprucing up the Morgue. 25 hours. Three of the most complex and photo by Geoff Cable striking of the paintings were done by Mike Kuzma. He sketched each free-hand before enlarging them on the walls. photo by Geoff Cable forms. The first in the hall is simply signed The themes of the logos vary from a beer "The Morgue." The wing had been known , m logo to mythical creatures and abstract by that name since one year a while back when it was scarcely populated. For a place where the dead supposedly lie, this wing has a lot of life. All the wingmates agree the murals have really added to it. Since the / artwork went up, the wing is no longer t trashed every weekend. "People don't throw their garbage all over any more," said Jeff. Tours have started to make this wing a part of their regular schedule. Most of the comments made by parents have been overwhelmingly favorable. Many have said r'jr that they support such activities and would write letters if necessary to keep the murals §V up. What is the fate of this splurge of creativity on Ryan 15? As of this point, only two of the murals, one depicting a beer label and the signature "Morgue" may have to be painted over at the end of the year. The reason given for taking these down is that they may "influence" students to drink and think bad thoughts. It would really be a Rock and Roll Fantasy. shame, the guys said, because the murals add photo by Geoff Cable so much personality to the hall, making it a home instead of just a place to sleep.
