Astnd Larson (Staff photos by Dave Smith) A total of 43 works by 34 ditterent artists were selected to go on display. They include every discipline of art taught at MSU : painting, drawing, sculpting, print making, photography, design, ceramics and metal smithing. Styles range from the very realistic to the purely abstract. Juror of the show is Dennis O'Leary, director of the Boise Gallery of Art in Idaho and former instructor at MSU. He chose which works would be exh1b1ted, as well as naming the tour jurors awards recipients and the nine students receiving honorable mention. O'Leary said judging was based on "originality of concept in the work, technical quality ... the visual arts quality that the work presents to the viewer." He said, "It should be challenging visually and interesting to me personally. A red and yellow painted steel sculpture by Lorre Hoffman was the winner of a 1uror's award. O'Leary said, "It relates to game and play, a very attractive piece ... 1t is very formal, yet play1ul with the yellow lines." He added, "We learn to appreciate visual order and visual disorder. Art like this can make us think about things like that." Other juror's awards went to Stacy Rawlings for the painting "Two Stories:" the tryptic painting "Movies of Our Church" by David Waldman; and a black and white relief painting by Virginia Lindie. Commenting on another work, a scrapbook collage, O'Leary said. "It's a very personal slatement the artist is making. It's kind of funky and junky. I like that attitude about it." The work combines collage images with a short text, set in three­ dimensional pages of a book. "She tells you about herself. You have to decide what that means tor you," said O'Leary. Artists were allowed to enter up to five pieces. Only seven students are represented by more than one work in the show. "The quality of the work is generally very high. It was difficult to make the selections." said O'Leary. "I tried to make the exhibition as broad as possible." The nine honorable mentions went to Mike Flanagan, Daniel Smith, Leo Johnson, Astrid Larson, Nancy Stone, Sandi Butler, Frank Fee, Craig Davidson and Sarah Gedye. The juror award winners each receive $25. The honorable mention students receive gift certificates donated by the following merchants: Selbys-Essco, Sullivan West, Art Shoppe, Accent Camera, Phillip's Book­ store, Mountain Sun, Chambers-Fisher, F-11, Ace-Owenhouse Hardware and Artifacts Gallery. One cash award was donated by First Security Bank. 4EXPONEt-n' ~ . April 19, 1983 Editorial Cut out the censorship '-WHAT'S THIS? TH£ BOSTON MARAT-HON? ..1 It is not often that newspapers operating in small towns such as Bel­ grade and Bozeman take sides on issues concerning censorship of other newspapers including most importantly, high school newspapers. I NO, T-HE RACE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC In a recent editorial I mentioned that high school principals seem to always know what's in the best interests of high school age students ~ l'RESID~WTIAL. NOMINATION. and the community at large A recent example of 1ust such an incident involves a Belgrade high school student Steve Olson. who was banned from writing editorials in the school's newspaper, the "Rehtnap." A recent case of censorship of similar 1nc1dence involved the principal of the Bozeman Senior High Louis Gappmayer, who censored family planning ads in the "Bozeman Hawk Tawk " Both issues concern the publication of "controversial" material which 1n the opinions of both principals did not pro1ect the correct image of their mutual 1nst1tutions.
