BY CAN DANCE ...... , ...... Dancing Queen , I "The Pot Collection: A Mary Wonna Exhibit," showing in Gallery I 420, is getting high reviews from DUMSL students since it opened on I Friday, March 29. I Gallery 420 has never Showcased an exhibit quite like this. Ion· Hale, curator of Gallery 420, said this exhibition is unique because vis­ itors are encouraged to try out "The Pot Collection." "Visitors light up when they find out this is a hands-on exhibit. The atmosphere is very laid back. We provide snacks, and there tend to be a lot of munching while visitors take in the exhibit," Hale said. At the opening last Friday, Wonna, a Columbian native, spoke about her collection. "I am a perfectionist when it comes to my work. If the pot I am working on isn't the highest quali­ ty, I have to weed it out. To be blunt, this is the highest quality pot collection on the market right now," Wonna said. Visitors of Gallery 420 are in agree­ ment. When asked Mu Chan!

BY BUCK NAYKID ...... <- ...... ,.', •• • ••••• , •• • •• • • • • The Music Man

Teen pop, such as the like that is crafted by avant-garde icons N-Sync and Britney Spears, is the new great American art form. Following the venerable tradition of jazz., American music has once again produced a movement so immense in intellectual scope and so profound in beauty, that the world is forever changed. Teen­ pop offers such a rich treasure cove of cultural movement and artistic expres­ sion, that the populace has fallen help­ less under its sway. Legions of fans have found a new drug. a new reli­ gion, as well as a new hairstyle. The depth of craft and expression inherent in the flash and circumstance of teen-pop's thirty-thousand-seat ' music concerts helplessly seduces art coinsurers and intellectuals alike. The well-coordinated dance moves express a sense of community and togetherness. The dances are also often very erotic, fe.aturing a large amount of hip thrusts and self-grop­ EDITOR ing. This erotic nature is thought to symbolize the renewal of life in the VEL VETCAPE face of the inevitability of death.
