This 9 member panel discussed relevant "art" issues during the Fine Arts Kick-Off discussion Friday, March 10, in the Commons Lounge. Area "artists" participated in the discussion and are exhibiting works in the Commons Lounge and Concourse of the Humanities Building. Picture by Brian Hanson. Pie DedeadAiwa cefed o66Au 9e4tevat Art "Deepest Expression of Man" by Jenny Wood Serving as a kick-off for the March Fine Arts Festival, the Fine Arts Board (UBG) spon-sored a panel discussion on the topic of "art" Friday afternoon (March 16) at 4 p.m. in the Commons Lounge. This was the start of the first annual Regional Art Show. Faculty artists from SDSU, Dakota State, SFC, and Augustana are ex-hibiting an assortment of pain-tings, drawings, prints, ceramics and sculpture through March 31 in the Commons Lounge and the concourse of the Humanities Building. The purpose of the panel dis-cussion, as stated by Jim Cam-bronne, moderator, and Gover-nor of the Fine Arts Board UBG), was "to educate, and have people on all sides (music and other areas of art) talk about what they think art is, and what artists think." The panel consisted of nine "artists" from around the area. Some of those participating were Palmer Eide (Augustana), Joseph Stewart (Brookings), Stephen Emery (Augustana), Jon .Johnson (Augustana), Larry Fergeson (Dakota State), Paul Branum (Augustana) and K. Jeffrey Dahlberg (Augustana). One of the first statements of the panel was the fact that Fine Arts is one of the least un-derstood phases of culture around the area. Reacting to the idea of what exactly art is and how a man expresses it, Stephen Emery said that art is "the deepest expression of who a per-son is. It represents this identity which cannot be squelched no matter what the circumstance." Another point brought up in the discussion was the rate of change in our Society today. The rate is so accelerated that people don't really have the chance to get into art. There are three periods in recognizing a new ex-perience: the periods of reaction, assimilation, and acceptance. These three phases are crucial in the understanding of anything. Today we still have the period of reaction, but the periods of assimilation and acceptance are not nearly long enough. This fast rate may have alienated the art (artist.) from the public. Today, more people are in the arts, in a collective sense, than ever before. Art is becoming that means by which we realize our full potential as human beings. When someone buys a work of art, she/he is buying a record of an experience that a particular artist has had. One of the last points brought up was that if an artist really wants to do something to speak to people, he had better do something that speaks of God and the universe. It will gain its longetivity through this. Although the turnout by Augustana students and faculty was relatively low, many area art enthusiasts stopped by to hear the discussion. Perhaps in future years, more people will use the opportunity given to them to express their feelings about art and artists.

Recognition for Volunteers SVS New Experiences by LaDonna Wattnem and Diana Kary In the spring semester ('71) a group of students returned from an Interim of experiential (social action) learning in Rapid City. These students were convinced that their community service ex-periences could not end with the interim. They organized RUBE and started a pilot program in tutoring at Edison Junior High. The success of this program led to the expansion of RUBE during the 1971-72 school year. New activities included Foster Grandparents, tutoring at the elementary level, volunteers at the Boys and Girls Club, Y-Teens, Big Buddy, Sioux Voca-tion "Smile with Us" program and several others. With the help of funding from ASA, RUBE wrote and received a Title I grant for this school year. Today the name has changed to Student Volunteer Services and the number of volunteer programs open to Augustana students has greatly increased. SVS is presently of-ficed in SS-46 and can be reached by phone, 5303, and mail, Box 802. The grant for this year con-tained money for a statewide workshop on youth volunteerism. This Saturday high school and college students plus agency professionals will be in attendance at this one day workshop. The workshop is designed to stimulate interest in student volunteerism and provide practical tools on volunteer organizations for high school and college students. Morning sessions will be devoted to volunteer programs now under the direction of Stu-dent Volunteer Services in the Sioux Falls Community. (These panels will be led by student and agency coordinators of the various programs.) Afternoon sessions will center around the problems of recruiting, training, and retaining volunteers and organizational problems. Agency personnel and student volunteers will be utilized as panel leaders for these presen-tations. Look for the SVS column in the Mirror.
