NEA awards grants to
two faculty members
By DANA WHITE
Staff Writer
Looking for a starving artist in
the University Art Department
won’t be easy, at least not among
two faculty members who have re
ceived a total of $40,000 between
them in grants from the National
Endowment for the Arts.
Gary NofTke, professor of jewelry
and metalwork, and Glen
Kaufman, professor of fabric de
sign, each received a grant for $20,-
000 from NEA in Washington,
D.C., said Evan Firestone, head of
the Art Department.
He said the grants are selected
by a panel of artists and critics in
visual arts. Out of 5,353 appli
cants, only 177 received grants, he
said.
The grants come in $5,000, $10,-
000 and $20,000 increments, Fire
stone said. Noffke and Kaufman
were two out of only 81 people who
received the maximum $20,000
grants.
The grants took effect this
month and will expire in Sep
tember 1991, Firestone said.
Having two professors from the
same university receive the grants
in the same year is highly unusual,
he said.
Grant recipient Gary Noffke
said he will use his Craftsman’s
Fellowship, awarded to artists who
make and design craflwork, to buy
materials and equipment to do
some large scale pieces.
He said his specialty is flatware
and holloware, which includes a
variety of pieces like teapots,
bowls, cooking pots, goblets and
challices.
NofTke is a trained silversmith
with a master of fine arts in met-
alsmi thing.
NofTke said he has applied for
the grant about 14 times in the
f iast and this year must have been
ucky. The decision for the com
mittee selecting the recipients is
“totally subjective,” he added.
Applying for the grant requires
submitting an application in
cluding a resume and 10 slides of
the artist’s work, NofTke said. Most
of the decision is weighted on the
artist’s slides, he said.
Firestone said, “Maximum NEA
grants are extremly difficult to get
given the number of applicants,
and it is truly an achievement that
the Department of Art at the Uni
versity of Georgia would have two
faculty members who receive such
grants in the same year.”
Kaufman is in Japan using his
grant to silkscreen gold and silver
screen images on handwoven silk,
Firestone said. He is expected to
return to the University winter
quarter.

“Ten seconds everyone!” shouted
a crew member. Then, “Five, four,
three, two...."
No, it isn't NASA launching a
space shuttle. It’s WUGA (91.7
FM) launching its live production
of “Once In A Blue Moon.”
The show, which aired Sunday
night on the Georgia Center for
Continuing Education’s public
radio station between 7:30 p.m.
and 9 p.m., consisted of four dif
ferent musical groups demon
strating their individual talents in
celebration of Halloween.
Jackie Avery, a rhythm and
blues composer whose songs have
been recorded on Atlantic and Ca
pitol Records, darkened the mood
Dy singing “While The City Sleeps”
and “Soul Vampire.”
Avery, who grew up performing
in Gulport, Mississippi, has
worked with such names as Otis
Redding, Dr. John, Percy Sledge,
the Allman Brothers and the
Beach Boys.
Julie Jean Reneaux, mostly
known for her combinations of
music and spicy tales of unrequited
love and the mystery of swamp
lands, sang, “I Pass By Your Door.”
Reneaux was Cajun-born and
raised in the Louisiana low
country.
The third act, Norman and
Nancy Blake, enchanted the audi
ence with traditional folk songs
such as ‘We’re living in the Fu
ture,” “When The Work's All Done"
and “Mr. Garfield’s Been Shot
Down, Shot Way Down Low."
Norman was born in Chatta
nooga and raised in North Georgia
and has recorded with such greats
as Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, John
Hartman and Joan Baez. Nancy
began her career as a classically
trained cellist in Nashville, then
discovered Nashville’s other music
scene when she met her husband.
Before the fourth and final
group, the Contemporary Chamber
Ensemble took the stage, five vol
unteers went on the air.
The production crew told the vol
unteers to “play” instruments they
had never played before. A crew
member using a “magic” wand con
ducted the volunteers’ noise
making while host Angela Elam
gave a narration of tne instru
ments’ arguing about which of
them was the best.
Finally, all five agreed to work
together.
At this point, the audience
began groaning on cue as the vol
unteers sneaked off stage. The En
semble quickly took their places,
fooling the radio audience into be
lieving the volunteers — not the
professional musicians — were still
“performing.”
The Ensemble accentuated the
theme of the evening with its pow
erful rendition of “Black Topaz."
Lewis Nielson, one of the most re
spected interpreters of 20th Cen
tury music in the United States,
directed the ensemble.

and both Included an additional charge of physical assault.
• Another complaint of disorderly conduct was for throwing

Two of the thirteen cases heard last week have been con
cluded with decisions reached. The verdicts in both cases were
guilty. One, heard in the Main Court, was for damage to property,
and resulted in 10 hours community service. The other was an
administrative hearing for misrepresentation and contempt. The
sentence was probated expulsion and 40 hours community
service. The remaining 11 cases are pending decision.
Six hearings are scheduled this week all for disorderly con
duct. Four will be in Main Court and two will be administrative

individual involved In disciplinary proceedings: charges filed, the
