Grad exhibit at museum
Ms. Nixon gets tour
via Russian friend
By LESLIE THORNTON
The 1972 Graduate
Exhibition now at the Georgia
Museum of Art shows the
personal involvement and
creativity of the student artists.
These students are candidates
for the Master of Fine Arts
degree.
The variety of media used
offers something to almost
everyone’s taste.
In the medium of paint, the
exhibits range from realistic
representational portraits to
implied and abstract paintings.
Willard Whitson's
representational paintings are
large oil paintings of his fnends
and family.
"With representational
painting, you have some
concrete object represented
other than just the paint
itself,” Whitson said. "With
implied painting you still have
subject matter, but it is
implied, not specifically there.
You’re more concerned with
another variable such as
texture or design.”
ANOTHER TYPE of
painting, and one that is rather
unique, is spray-gun painting.
The artist has used a carefully
controlled spray gun on a large
piece of canvas. The result is a
mass of dots that appear to
have been carefully placed on
the canvas. Most noticeable
about these paintings are the
colors used. One painting
consists of purple, green and
gold dots, another is done in
black and white dots
interspersed with dots of
various colors which the artist
himself has painted in with a
Art review
brush.
Photography is also included
in the exhibition ‘‘Screen
prints are a combination of
silkscreens and a photographic
process using a light-sensitive
solution," said Hollie Taylor, a
candidate in graphics who is
displaying drawings and screen
print assemblages. The
assemblages combine the
screen print and the collage.
They seem technical and exact.
ALSO IN THE photographic
medium is a series of
photographic drawings. These
have a photographic
background with a foreground
drawn in pencil to blend.
Several of them feature
different techniques of
exposure such as variation in
the time exposed to "burning
in" streaks of different degrees
of lightness.
‘‘Feminine Hang-Ups" is the
title of a fabric exhibition.
Different kinds of fabrics cut
in the shapes of the female and
male bodies hand from the
ceiling. The fabrics have been
batikked, crocheted, tiedyed
and woven. One particular
"body” has been done in a
velvety material on which
multi-colored paint has been
dropped in a circular pattern.
TWO CANDIDATES |»V«
done exhibits in ceramics. Both
exhibits feature different types
of glazes in a variety of designs
and colors including silver and
gold. One of the exhibits has
an Oriental flavor and has
chosen differed animals such as
snakes, birds and dragons as
aibjects for several works. The
other exhibit is anthropomor
phic using human hands, feet,
and faces an unusual way to
do portraits.
One of the most
attention-getting exhibits is the
jewelry exhibit. Original
designs of rings have been cast
in silver and gold. The long
shining edge of a silver carving
knife catches the eye with its
simple beauty. Another smaller
knife shows the artist's
attention to intricate detail.
There are several sculpture
exhibits cast in steel, aluminum
and bronze. Different finishes
have been used on them for
special effects, rnd several of
these are incredibly detailed. In
one exhibit, the sculptor has
taken pictures of the works
showing their actual size in an
out-of-doors setting. He has
then made smaller mock-ups to
exhibit in the museum.
The graduate exhibit will be
on display until Friday at the
Georgia Museum. The Museum
is open from 8 a.m. until S
p.m.

Infant heart operation gives
hope for corrective surgery
IOWA CITY, Iowa (UPI) A
heart defect has been corrected
in an ll-month old child by
stopping his heart and
circulation for a 55-minute
operation, a team of
researchers and surgeons at the
University of Iowa announced
Monday.
The operation was performed
March 22 and the child, Jason
Harter, is at his rural Ottumwa
home with his parents, Mr. and
Ms. Dean Harter.
Dr. Ronald M. Lauer,
professor of pediatrics at the
NEW YORK (UPI) Dr
Margaret Mead believes newly
enfranchised 18 to 20-year-old
voters will be in a ’.strong
position” in November to
decide the future direction of
the country.
In an article directed to the
new voters in the June issue of
Kedbook magazine, the noted
anthropologist said, ‘‘you
belong to the generation that
has called into question our
whole way of doing things.
You may meet the challenge
by setting new styles of
participation. But no one
knows.”
She urged youth not to join a
political party "just because it
seems natural to accept - or
more likely, oppose - the
political ideas of your family”
or others.
"For the present, part of
your strength likes in your
independence. Where you are
concerned, candidates can’t be
sure what the ‘right’ campaign
promises are. They do not even
know what you regard as
credible in a candidate.”
She said few persons thought
young voters would vote as a
bloc because of their large
number 11 million eligible -
and their diversified interests.
"Thu uncertainty worries the
politicians and the political
prophets." she said. "As yet

University of Iowa, said the
operation offers hope for
infants with congenital heart
pro blems. He said the
operation may have paved the
way for more operations of
this type on infants, adding
that 80 per cent of the small
children with heart problems
could be helped by some form
of surgical repair during the
first year of their life.
During the operation, doctors
lowered the body temperature
of young Jason about 40
degrees, and there was no
heartbeat or circulation for the
unknown and uncommitted,
you are in a strong position.
This means you, by paying
attention, may hold in your
hands the future of the
country and the direction in
which we will move. It means
that candidates who want your
vote will listen to you and
respond to you. They are well
aware that your vote counts."
She said young men and
women could join together "in
demanding the end of the
Vietnam War and the abolition
of the draft, on the one hand,
and on the renovation of our
run-down communities, which
endanger children and young
people, on the other." She told
young voters that "as members
of the generation now in young
adulthood, you are the ones
who will gain or lose the most
by the policies that are
adopted.
‘‘Working for what you
believe in. win or lose, keeps
the future open," she said.
55 minutes it took to repair
the damaged heart.
Ms. Harter said her son was
weak before the operation
after being stricken twice with
pneumonia, and said she and
,her husband were hesistant
about allowing the operation
to be performed. She said
doctors had given them about a
one-in-three chance that Jason
would survive the operation.
‘‘But we decided that we
really had no choice," she said.
Dr. Donald B. Doty, who
performed the operation, said a
hole in the boy’s heart was
allowing an abnormally high
amount of blood to be pumped
into the lungs, which meant
Jason was in serious danger of
having a heart failure.
‘‘The whole period was a
terrible ordeal for us," Ms.
Harter said "We knew since
the second day after Jason's
birth that he had a heart
murmur, but we weren’t aware
of how serious the situation
was until about a month before
he had surgery."
Doty said a heart-lung
machine was used for a short
time to reduce Jason's
temperature for the operation.
The machine was used nuinly
to cool the blood, he said, and
the cold blood returning to the
patient's circulation rapidly
lowered the body temperature.
Jason's body temperature
was lowered from the normal
98.6 degrees to 60 degrees in
only 15 minutes.
"At the temperature of 60
degrees we had about 75
minutes to complete the
surgery on the heart.” Doty
said. "If we would have needed
more time than that, we would
have been running the risk of
brain damage occurring."
The technique used in the
operation was developed in
Japan and New Zealand, and is
being used in only a few
medical centers around the
world. Doty said.

Give Wallace TV time or
stop debates — Maddox
ATLANTA (UPI) - Lt. Gov.
Lester Maddox has urged two
major television networks to
either cancel their scheduled
debates between presidential
candidates George McGovern
and Hubert Humphrey or
expand them to include George
Wallace or a stand-in.
Maddox made his plea
Tuesday in letters to CBS and
ABC and also called on NBC
NOT TO SCHEDULE SUCH A
DEBATE UNLESS Wallace is
included. Maddox, a strong
backer of Wallace for
president, said to exclude the
Alabama governor would not
be an affront to the candidate,
but "to the millions of
Americans who support him."
"There can be no true debate
between Senators Humphrey
and McGovern for, except at
campaign time, they talk and
vote alike. The only purpose
Senators Humphrey and
McGovern can serve ... is to
determine which can do the
[AUDIOPHILES
best job of straddling the fence
and misleading the people.”
"I doubt seriously whether
such a debate would have been
proposed, accepted and
scheduled had Governor
Wallace not been shot down,
whih evidently occurred
because he had proven to be
the No. 1 vote-getter.”

MOSCOW (UP!) In a
crunch of newsmen and Soviet
secret police, Ms. Richard M.
Nixon took a ride on Moscow’s
famous subway today, and the
wife of the Soviet foreign
minister told persistent
newsmen where to get off.
‘‘Why don’t you ask your
questions somewhere else?"
Ms. Andrei A. Gromyko said at
one point.
The KGB the Soviet secret
police took good care of
Mrs. Nixon on the afternoon
ride on the Moscow metro. The
American first Lady quipped
that "you have to be agile to
get on that subway," referring
to the fast-moving system.
Later, she said, "Yours is the
loveliest subway system in the
world," in talking to the metro
administrator, Alexander
Novochatsky.
"It’s wonderful to get such
high praise from you," he said.
Ms. Nixon was caught up in a
squeeze of Russian security
agents, enthusiastic
cameramen, reporters and
sputtering Soviet ladies during
the afternoon ride on the
subway, built by Josef V.
Stalin as a showpiece of Soviet
achievement.
Much to Ms. Gromyko’s
irritation, reporters asked Ms.
Nixon if she had ever ridden
the New York subway. Ms.
Gromyko demanded, “Why
don’t you ask your questions
somewhere else?” But Ms.
Nixon laughed and replied,
"Oh, yes. Many times."
The KGB agents were bent
on protecting Ms. Nixon from
the American newsmen as well
as some 50 more Russian and
foreign photographers who had
a field day filming her in
marble-walled, colored
glass-decored stations.
Ms. Nixon earlier in the day
helped Ms. Leonid I. Brezhnev,
the Soviet first lady, weather a
crowd crush - largely of
reporters and photographers
during a tour of a school where
several subjects are taught in
English.
“I’m going to take care of
you,” Ms. Nixon told Victoria
Brezhnev, who dislikes crowds.
She patted Ms. Brezhnev’s
hand consolingly.

Ms. Brezhnev did say she
would like to visit the United
States "if I’m invited." Ms.
Nixon said "of course” when
asked if she had invited Mrs.
Brezhnev.
"I hope she’s going to come,”
Ms. Nixon said. "I’ve made
some new friends and 1 want
them all to visit.”
The school visit offered her a
look at everything in the
curriculum from an English
class and a physics lab to a
basketball game, choir practice
and chats with the students.
The subway excursion - the
Soviets say it is the world’s
longest metropolitan
underground system offered
sights of gleaming yellow
marble halls, golden baroque
decorations at some stops and
pristine cleanliness everywhere.
At the end of the tour of the
school. Ms. Gromyko told Ms.
Nixon: "It’s very good to have
you here. It’s good for peace.
Words cannot describe how
happy 1 am you are here.”
It was a busy day for Ms.
Nixon, including the subway
ride followed by tea in the
Kremlin’s old Czarist family
apartments with Mrs. Brezhnev
and M». Nikolai Podgorny, wife
of the Soviet president.
Ms. Nixon had her first
opportunity to meet Ms.
Brezhnev Monday evening at a
state banquet in the Kremlin.
Ms. Nixon said she glimpsed a
better, brighter Moscow as she
rode into town Monday than
she remembered from her last
visit in 1959.
‘‘I’ve noticed considerable
progress made by Muscovites in
raising their standard of living
since my last visit,” Ms. Nixon
said.
She peered out the windows
of the long black limousine
that carried her over the
20-mile route to the Kremlin
from Vnukovo II Airport,
getting her impression of a
solid jump in living standards
since her 1959 visit.
