Vluii Mr. I ' tUisin saw lliis for the first time, he was striirk with tlie need for a differenl Ireatnient of the pool. After much IlK.iiylil and distussion with iiileresle l men on campus, he slowly formed an idea of presenlinij a sIikU of corn usini; Indians as the human inleresi iu the Ijroup. Me wanted to show these native Anuriian produits in lonibinalion. A friend of Mr. Petersen ' s while dciini; some hihlioi-raphv work anu- ai ross ihe ()sai;e ch.uil lelliiii; of the sca.son». It fitted the dilferenl ideas perfecllv and formed the lhoui;hl of the ijrciup. Ihe four Iiidi.ni women show the different seasons and the hnrk done in ea h as told in the ili.inl. It was (OMccnicd with ihe life cvile of the corn plant and it.s relationship to the Indians — and iin .1 hroader level — how ULin ' s a( lions are i; erMe(l 1)V the the cvclic passage of time. the tour seasons shown in the Inioii lounl.iiii o( ur vear after year regardless of man ' s desire. Tied to sliident life here at Iowa Si.iie, ihe four Indians are symholic in a double wav. They may stand for the four levels of learnini; most siuilenls pass through duriiii; their Slav at Iowa State. Again the four seem to symbolize the passage of Ihe (piartirs of a school year as we have shown them in this l ook.
