British-bom sculptor Alan Collins transformed 100-pound pieces of modeling clay through the emotions of living and the stages of life in a Thursday convocation and a Friday night vespers. To a backgroimd of fine music, and a literary script writ- ten and directed by Dorothy Minchin-Comm, the audience watched the chronicling of fear, anger, pride, greed, mirth, and con- tentment. (Pictured at right.) The second program depicted infancy, childhood, the lover, the soldier, maturity, old age, and a joyful epilogue of immortality. Sculptor Collins is a professor of art and Dr. Minchin-Comm, a profes- sor of English, at Loma Linda Uni- versity. Besides meeting with sev- eral classes during the week, on Thursday evening the duo conducted a seminar in creativity. Collins, a Fellow of the Royal Soci- ety of British Sculptors, has created sculptures for churches and public buildings in Britain and America. He was commissioned by the Ken- nedy Memorial Trust to design and carve the memorial to the late Presi- dent Kennedy at Runn3Tnede, Eng- land.
