The need is there, but the additional art throughout the entire state of Maine? The answer is the UMO exhibits cannot be handled. traveling art exhibition. The whole program is coordinated by one woman, Margaret Vincent A. Hartgen, professor and chairman of the UMO art Russell, secretary to the art department.

Prof. Hartgen has designed the program to keep it at the “Long ago, I kept meeting students who, until they came to lowest possible cost and to make it as easy as possible for the the university, had never seen an art exhibit. I saw a need in schools to pack up the exhibits and send them to the next school. Maine for art exhibits in the schools. In answer to this need I Hartgen started the project when he went out to measure the decided to launch five exhibits on the road, without any money, inside of a car trunk. His objective was to design a sturdy con­ without any funds or sponsorship.” tainer for the exhibits which would not be too cumbersome. The program within the first few years leaped from the original five exhibits to its present 100 exhibits. About 70 Maine Out of his measuring came a plywood box, the most popular artists and photographers, who live and work in the state, con­ size being around 22 inches by 26 inches and about five inches tribute their work to the program. Some of the art is borrowed thick. This size of box easily accommodates padding and packing from the UMO collection, but the bulk of the art exhibited belongs to the artists. Only original works of art are displayed and the art is almost exclusively done by Maine artists and photographers. The artists are constantly freshening their ex­ hibits with new works. Exhibits are scheduled eight times throughout the school year. They are on display at schools throughout the state from October to June. Each month 100 boxes filled with art exhibits are moving within the state. In one school year 800 exhibits have taken place in Maine schools. The exhibits stay on display for about three weeks out of the month. It is the school’s responsibil­ ity to see that their exhibit moves on to the next school on the list. During the first year of the traveling art exhibits, requests began coming in to Prof. Hartgen for specialized art exhibits. Teachers were requesting shows geared to certain age groups and “how to do it” types of shows. Approximately ten “how to do it” shows were formed by Prof. Hartgen in response to the teachers’ requests. “Teachers in remote areas of the state were hard pressed to explain to the children how a woodcut is made, how an etching is made, how a lithograph is made, how do you make a sculpture and so on,” he says. “Now there is a whole list of ‘how to do it’ exhibits.” These exhibits are designed by the artists. They explain the media step by step, illustrating the steps that led to its comple­ tion, and show a finished copy of the work. There were also special requests coming in for shows on sculpture. Due to the shipping problems involved with sculpture, two photo shows were made up featuring the sculptures of Chenoweth Hall, a Prospect Harbor sculptor. The art exhibits now include three photography shows done by UMO photographers, Jack Walas and Albert Pelletier, on Orono campus life. These shows are usually shown in high schools across the state. They depict life on campus from special weekends to studying for finals. The art exhibitions also include a number of shows on the Maine School Art Contest put on by the Bangor Daily News Art Department chairman, Vincent A. Hartgen, packs a traveling every year. Each year the oldest shows are retired and shows exhibit into one of the '' plywood suitcases" that he specially designedfor his traveling art program. Boxes such as these carry 100 art and photo­ containing the new winners are inserted in their place. graphic exhibits around the state to schools and public buildings at The program has been held at 100 exhibits, because there virtually no cost to the schools. 2 of 20 paintings.

Fifth grade students at the Lewis Stairs School in Old Town have the opportunity of seeing one of the traveling art exhibits from UMO. From left to right are Gregg Chappelle, Michael Messier, Kristina Gauthier and Carol Ray who are viewing an exhibit of serigraphs by Francis E. Hamabe. Even schools not so close to the Orono campus, such as the small rural schools in Aroostook County also are able to take advantage of the very popular program. 3 ■n: IS w j1 i •11 6;1

He tends to feel isolated, frus­ trated and angry at a society which not only forced him to perform an intensely unpleasant task, but which now, as a recent Lew Harris poll reveals, regards him as a ‘sucker’ who was ‘taken advantage of.’ While time may yet resolve this country's ambivalent feelings about the conflict in Southeast Asia, there remains a great deal that can be done by private and government institutions to help the former serviceman overcome his unique problems of readjustment.’’ Because of this situation Jacobs finds that besides the tech­ nical assistance in explaining GI benefits, in finding financial aid and acting as a liaison with the Veterans Administration (VA), there is much additional aid that can be given to the veteran. Referrals are made to campus and community agencies in fields such as job availability, housing, day care centers, food coopera­ tives and even psychological counseling. A VA tutorial program is a great benefit to the veteran returning to academics. A sum of $450 is available to the veteran to pay for tutorial services. Mathematics, especially algebra, is a critically deficient area with a large number of students. The program is invaluable to many veterans, though in some cases a veteran needs tutoring in every course which cannot be done with the $450 allotment.

Carrie, the central character, is a classic outsider. She is “a chunky girl with pimples on her neck and back and buttocks,” a “frog among swans.” The symbolic pattern emerges in the first two pages of the novel. Carrie is the “sacrificial goat”. She has been appointed by the community to serve as the scapegoat, the one that “everyone picks on”. As we watch this born loser, we gain a horrifying vision of how our society, like all societies, demands losers, victims, outsider—scapegoats. If there were no losers, how could there be any winners? All the good, normal, respectable girls need Carrie. Carrie is, in her own eyes and in the eyes of everyone else, stupid, ugly, and worthless.
