By BEVERLY NELSON TCU Daily Skiff

Nine communication graphics majors will show their works Monday through Thursday in the Moudy Building Exhibition Hall. An opening reception will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday. The exhibit will run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. Exhibitors, all graduating this month, will include Roosevelt Collins, a TCU football defensive end. Collins was Most Valuable Player in two Homed Frog wins this year. Also showing works will be Catherine Blackwell Rohan. Racheal Denise Brown. Michele Anderson, Kerry Lynn Mangin. Tammy Ruth Tucker, Jill S. Carter. Sarah Christian Porter and Andrea Lynn Petersen. Petersen described the show as a variety of works from each student's portfolio. It will feature ads, logos, posters and things that communicate something to the general public, rather than paintings and sculptures, she said. "It's kind of exciting," Petersen said. "We've been working for four years, and it's kind of a neat way to finish our college degree." Margie J. Adkins, professor of graphic design, said students must show their works as a degree requirement. The art department mailed announcements inviting people from pro- fessional groups to come, Adkins said. Graduating students will work in ad agencies, public relations and design; this show helps their work be seen, she said. For more information on the free exhibit, call 921 -7643.
