The Great Buffalo Art ho By Ron Thompson Strange things happen in the Cameron University Art Department, especially when the subject is buffalo. This year the Art Depart- ment sponsored the Great Buffalo Art Show, an open invitational exhibition. Anyone could enter the show as long as the theme of the artwork was buffalo. A reception -- complete with buffalo chili - was held November 17. More than 300 buffalo fans and patrons of the arts were in attendance. The weather was terrible, cold as a buffal0's southside Cooking up buffalo burgers for the reception is junior Cindy Jackson.

It had started raining the night before and continued to pour down all the next day. However, people en- joyed themselves, and the elements failed to dampen anyone's spirits. Dave Hickey, a nationally recognized art critic, journeyed from Forth Worth to judge the show, and, by the power of buffalo spirits, became the show. The Great Buffalo Art Show was conceived by University Art Gallery Direc- tor Mark Alexander and was made possible by the faculty, staff and Cameron Art Club. Some of the people who made the show a reality even assumed different identities related to the great bison. There is Buffalo Jack Bryan, Benson Horns Warren, Kathy Buffalo Gal Liontas, Hoof Mark Alexander, Wanda Round- up Shaw, Barbara Bison Scott, and Glenda Buffalo Hide Harrison. However, the show truly owed its being to the American Bison of the Wichita Mountains, to whom we will forever be grateful. Long live the Buffalo!
