JAN. 17. IMS MERCER CLUSTER 3
Modern Art Exhibition Spurs
Various Student Reaction
By Lyndon Mayen
"It’ii a teabag ."
"No, it's a rail for Rolaids."
"Rolaids! That is definitely a
tea hag."
"How can you »ee a tea hag
in that?”
Such was the conversation heard
as I walked by Room 31fi in the
Student Center. My curiosity was
aroused to such a point that I de
cided, to investigate, whereupon I
was attacked with a barrage of in
flated images and light switch
plates in soft sculptured vinyl,
mammoth-size glasses, and a six
foot long post card folder of New
York City

I thing at all One comment from a
i student us she rolled hysterically
on the floor, "we really shouldn't
lie laughing at this ''
Some of the more intellectual
students would attempt to decide
what could motivate the ros|iective
artist of each exhibit Sometimes
the actual obje<1 in the exhibit was
indistinguishable, and when one
observer declared an artichoke half
as her answer to one of the riddles,
another passerby questioned, "How
do you know 7 "
"I eat artichokes all the time
and love 'em "
(hie observer described his senti
ments for the room by saying, "I'd
hate to try to study in here," which
we'd like to think means he was
afraid he would be grabbed and
( even eaten perhrfps.
Off in the distance, two students
were trying to decide if one picture
was a field of corn stalks or the
skin of a porcupine fish And it was
just before dinner when the above
two finally discovered that it was
merely an enlargement of the hair
' on a flv's tongue.
Ah. Modern Art!
