Virginia AND NOW ... A MAN ' S PERSPECTIVE Although Mary Baldwin is a college for women, it does have a number of male students attending it. Jim Klaus, husband to Lisa Stockdale-Klaus, is one of them. Jim is a special student, a status which differs from that of an Adult Degree Pro- gram Student. Mr. Klaus states, I am taking courses leading to a secondary school teaching certification. Jim goes on to say, Attending Mary Baldwin col- lege as a male student is different from attending it as a female student. To be certain, one has the same concern with grades, the same tests to take, the same lectures to attend. I do not, however, par- ticipate in the total life of the campus. I do not live on the campus and, therefore, do 24 people freshman not share campus life experiences with other students to any great degree. Al- though I am made to feel welcome in class by both teachers and students alike, there always exists a certain sense of ' being on the outside looking in. ' I sus- pect that male students, whether they be Adult Degree Program or special stu- dents, will always have some feelings of being on the periphery of the life of the college. Nevertheless, the special stu- dent and Adult Degree Programs are valu- able services which Mary Baldwin Col- lege offers to the community and its sur- rounding area. I am very pleased to have the opportunity to take advantage of them. I

THIS JUNIOR IS OUT TO GET YOU IN PICTURES it ' s not often that a person can combine a talent, an interest and an entrepeneurial spirit into a money making venture, but JUNIOR Media Baldwin has done just that. Media is the owner operator of Black and White, a portrait photography studio. Her work has been used in profes- sional theatre promotions, fashion lay- outs, and newspaper publications. Also, she has put together portfolios for bud- ding models. Media ' s favorite and most called for work here at MBC is her black and white portraits. I always absorbed fashion magazines from an early age. My mother despaired of me playing in ma- keup all the time. She never understood my fascination with making up faces and creating moods. Now she thinks my busi- ness is just great. See, Mom, it was for a reason! Media ' s serious interest in pho- tography began in high school. Her pho- tos were printed in various school and local publications. In the meantime, she was operating an image consultation ser- vice to professional women and wives of the local hospitals ' doctors. Her style also exhibited a funkier side as she catered to a smaller following of new wave and punk enthusiasts. Media attri- butes the range and variety shown in her portraits to these contradictory interests. The first thing I do when a person com- missions some portraits is sit down and get to know them. Every woman has a special, private beauty within her. Often she ' s just afraid to let it show. I take the time to find out who she wants to be and then we play with it. Really, you should see the results. Everyone says they never thought they could look like that. I say nonsense. Beauty is merely a matter of feeling comfortable with who you are, and just focusing your personality through the correct clothes, makeup, and colors. A two hour makeover and photo session is standard at Black and White. There ' s no rush, no pressure. In my photo sessions, my favorite phrase is ' let ' s play. ' I ' m al- ways trying something different. Usually my photo sessions are a lot of laughs! Although Media is pursuing an Economics Business Double Major and Asian Studies Minor, she feels certain that she will do something with photography. Yeah, I ' ll probably work on Wall Street ' til my pho- tography business is big enough, she says and adds with a wink, That was a joke ... people • freshman 23
