We seek to extend our minds through books and media, and in so doing, extend ourselves to others, that they might know and understand what we are or have been. Thus through forms of art and literature, we can represent more than could Paleolithic man or Sir Francis Drake; we can reach toward better understanding of man and his changes by offering to other men, insight to our changes. We have come to an age now that we can see these metamorphoses in ourselves and feel dated by them — We remember the Kennedy era and the twist. We may someday find it necessary to defend our causes to our children and fail to understand why they cannot see the same significance in them. We may even allow that significance to fade from our own minds with age. We may look at the faces here and forget the names; read the words and only faintly understand. That this may be more than an annual record of events, more than a yearbook in its most obsolete concept — We have sought rather that it be a book of change, a book of time. For we are time and the space it occuppies. We are history. And if we may be so fortunate to write and record a history of our own, let it be this: a creative documentary.

' The School of the Arts f K f - We have replaced some of the childlike responses and feelings toward the space we live in; we have learned the beauty of simplicity and form and so given new simplicity to our lives — molded ourselves into some of those forms and observed as those forms transgressed into others. And yet we remain the same; overwhelmed by the newness of our dis- coveries, the freshness we knew as children, and the ability to see all over again.

Roberts ♦ v t r Leslie Irwin If we roughly date the Impressionistic interval from 1875 to 1910, we see a period of dominance lasting approximately thirty-five years. Since then no school or style, from Futurism to Fauvism, From Cubism to Surrealism, has dominated the scene for even that long. One after another, styles supplant one ano ther. The most enduring twentieth-century school, Abstract Expressionism, held away for at most twenty years, from 1940 to 1960, then to be followed by a wild succession — ' Pop, ' lasting per- haps five years, ' Op, ' managing to grip the publics ' attention for two or three years, then the emergence, appropriately enough, of ' Kinetic Art ' whose raison d ' etre is transcience.

Alvin Toffler, Future Shock - ' Twiggy, the Beatles, John Glenn, Billie Sol Estes, Bob Dylan, Jack Ruby, Norman Mailer, Eichmann, Jean-Paul Sartre, Georgi Malenkov, Jacqueline Kennedy — thousands of ' personalities ' parade across the stage of contemporary history. Real people, magnified and projected by the mass media, they are stored as images in the minds of millions of people who have never met them, never spoken to them, never seen them ' in person. ' They take on a reality almost as (and sometimes even more) in- tense than that of many people with whom we do have ' in-person ' relationships.

Signs of our time are quite often expressed in our art. Today it is quite literally expressed in the paintings that copy street signs. Again there is the spectre of a group of our serious artists sitting in conference, like a table of gods, pronouncing the death of beauty. Another example that gives visible expression is the painted copy of a photo blow-up of such machinery as the automobile, or the sculp- ture cast from life of an auto worker — as an object. There is a trendiness toward the impersonal, a kind of anesthetizing of the self, producing a state of paralysis which at once seems to say, ' I don ' t care about esthetics, beauty, love and that humanis- tic cult, ' but at the same time reflects a deep de- spondence and loss of will. No wonder we find the counter of this trend in such best sellers as 7 e Greening of America and the story of a soaring will in Jonathan Livingston Seagull. In these and similar events of our day, as in the renewed interest in vari- ous religions, we hear a call to the awareness of self to move beyond this world. John T. Hilton • J -♦ •• .

It does this by imposing order, a set of prin- ciples or criteria on the choices he makes in his daily life. This becomes clear if we examine how such choices are actually made. The young couple setting out to furnish their apartment may look at literally hundreds of different lamps, scores of dif- ferent sizes, models and styles before selecting, say, the Tiffany lamp. Having surveyed a universe of possibilities, they zero in on one. This scan-and- select procedure is repeated with respect to rugs, sofa, drapes, dining room chairs, etc. In fact, some- thing like this same procedure is followed not mere- ly in furnishing their home, but also in their adop- tion of ideas, friends, even the vocabulary they use and the values they espouse.

Photography Dale Quarterman David Bremer Cliff Dixon John Heroy George Nan Peter Harholt i -h: School of Arts and Sciences The Afro-American Studies Program at V.C.U. is an interdisciplinary program whose emphasis is the interpretation and explication of that total phenome- non called the Black Experience. It is based on the assumption that people of African descent possess modes of expressions and experiences that are deeply rooted in their socio-cultural heritage. Black Studies then attempts to view the varied forces and counter forces acting and interacting within the total fabric of black life and culture. It is concerned with specific orientations and specific prospectives based upon this unique socio-cultural heritage. It is a new approach to scholarship and teaching that points toward new perspectives on viewing the world, and of new approaches in constructing and explaining realities.

I believe our masters and teachers as well as plain citizens should confine themselves to what can safely be said. Thus when I hear the words pewter, snake, tea. Fad -6 sherry, serviette, fenestration, crown, blue coming from the mouth of some public official, or some raw youth, I am not disappointed. Vertical organization is also possible, Miss R. said, as in pewter snake tea Fad =6 sherry serviette fenestration crown blue. I run to liquids and colors, she said, but you, you may run to something else, my virgin, my darling, my thistle, my poppet, my own. Young people, Miss R. said, run to more and more unpleasant combina- tions as they sense the nature of our society. Some people, Miss R. said, run to conceits or wisdom but I hold to the hard, brown, nutlike word. I might point out that there is enough aesthetic excitement here to satisfy anyone but a damned fool.

But there was one sure sign of vanishing American involvement: the daily military press briefing, an eight-year-old Saigon Spectacle known as the Five o ' clock Follies, had its final performance with an American cast. Army Major Jere Forbus, the last Follies star, sighed, Well, we may not have been perfect, but we outlasted Fiddler on the Roof. The Associated Press Saigon bureau chief, Richard Pyle, was less benign but more accurate when he called the briefings, the longest playing tragicom- edy in Southeast Asia ' s theatre of the absurd.

In three short years Noe has logged an im- pressive 49-17 win loss rec- ord, defeating schools like North Carolina A T, East Tennessee and Eastern Ken- tucky. He has hustled in many areas of media com- munications to make sure the Running Rams get the publicity they justly deserve. Basketball has become the popular sport at VCU. It has succeeded in monopo- lizing the campus sports limelight, sharing little of its glory with the other sports at VCU — wrestling, swimming, golf, baseball, women ' s bas- ketball, water polo and field hockey, among others. Stu- dents involved in these sports have become respon- sible for generating support and enthusiasm for their t, sports activities. Indeed, one | could easily venture to say t that VCU sports have be- come basketball oriented. VCU is a growing univer- sity and is striving to make a name for itself in athletics. Although the past season has been a successful one for most varsity sports, one cannot help but question the wisdom of focusing almost complete attention on one sport to the detriment of the others. How can the other varsity sports attract talent- ed athletes to a school that does not support them?

McGovern attempted to rally a nation already tired of crusades, weary of wrestling with insoluble problems, sick of an endless war but unwilling simply to give up. The preacher ' s son from South Dakota misjudged the temperof the times. He knew that Americans wanted to abandon some of the far- flung outposts of their acci- dental empire, and wanted to concentrate on problems in their own communities, the pressing domestic needs of so many news- paper editorials. But the question in Ameri- can politics is often not what, but how. Richard M. Nixon offered policies much more in line with the American tra- dition of moderation, of dip- ping the toe before taking the plunge. George McGov- ern offered — or what is more I H - ' - t - -i -Q-x t -. ftl ' -  Jf S — — i.j - .MH0m ' ' mmm 1 wSv K ' l. v - ' i El - i ' 7 . « i r i .: ??? iSI K important, seemed to offer — a precipitous retreat from the world that Americans have only recently realized they are a real and important part of. He offered New Deal Great Society solu- tions to domestic needs, right down to a badly ex- plained and poorly devel- oped plan that seemed to promise every American $1 000. He offered them when it was evident that such pro- grams in the recent past had produced results in hugely inverse proportions to the money and effort expended. Most of all, he offered them to a public suspicious of political promises, bored by endless rhetoric, and sick of shouting and hectoring, a public that wanted to be left alone. VCU was a microcosm of the nation. The students sim- ply were not interested. Ac- tivism was low; on the other hand, voter registration and turnout appeared to be fairly high. The vote appears to have been about evenly split. A canvas of 700 dormi- tory students by the Young Voters for the President showed Nixon with 42.6 per cent, McGovern with 38.7 per cent and 18.7 per cent undecided. Dormitory residents are a distinct minority here, and nobody knows how Fan- dwelling art students or commuting business stu- dents might have voted. Of the two voting precincts lo- cated close to campus, Nix- on carried one and McGov- ern the other, both on close votes. The faculty seemed to fa- vor Nixon, though not by much. A poll conducted by the Faculty Senate gave Nix- on 52 per cent of the teach- ers ' vote and McGovern 42 Sissy Farenthold L.Douglas Wilder Liz Carpenter per cent. Two teams of fac- ulty members debated what issues there were, with the usual things said and the usual easy points (tricky Dick V. McGovern the moral- ist) scored. Partisans on both sides did what they could to stir up some interest. The YVP ' s showed people how to use absentee ballots — and many did — and sponsored a three- sided debate in Shafer Court, with a representative of the American Party as the third man. The Youth for McGovern helped students register to vote, and sat behind a table before the Hibbs building waiting for something to happen. But the Democrats stole what little show there was with a pretentiously named Gloria Steinem Terry McGovern Winnebago bus called the Grassroots Grasshopper. The leading lady was Gloria Steinem. The supporting cast was impressive in its own right — George Rawlings, Liz Car- penter, Ruth Harvey Charity and McGovern ' s daughter Terry, among others — but 400 university people do not gather on a gray, overcast day to hear ordinary politi- cians. Steinem, on the other hand, got applause before she opened her mouth. She never raised her voice, answered a reporter ' s questions forthrightly in a husky tone, and seemed very much a term she might reject — a lady. No, she said, McGovern had not kissed off the South. No, he had not sold out wom- en ' s rights at the convention. Yes, the campaign was go- ing well. George Rawlings, the Democratic national com- mitteeman, was perhaps, more realistic. McGovern ' s campaign in Virginia, he said, was very difficult. Like a great ship sinking, McGovern sucked some smaller craft down with him. Foremost among these was William Belser Spong, for- merly the junior U.S. Senator from Virginia. Spong ' s problem was ex- emplified by his brief visit to this campus. Few people would have recognized this slight, bespectacled man in a tan raincoat as a Senator. And he said little. He refused even to say if he would vote for McGovern. Asked about Scott ' s comment that the people of Virginia were en- titled to know, Spong man- aged only a weak, Well, I wouldn ' t put it that way. The combination of lack- luster image and seemingly extended reflection when decision was in order was fatal: five days after his visit here, Spong was a lame duck. A far more articulate Dem- ocrat than Spong also visit- ed the campus: State Sen. L. Douglas Wilder of Rich- mond. The Senate ' s only black, he represented Mc- Govern in aShafer Arena de- bate while Republican State WyattDurrette Harry Selden 336 Del. Wyatt Durrette of Fair- fax spoke for Nixon and Harry Selden, a Mechanics- ville farm-machinery sales and service man, rep resent- ed John Schmitz of the American Party. In some ways, Selden was the most interesting of the lot. Sporting a John Birch Society lapel pin, he criti- cized Nixon far more severe- ly than McGovern ever did: total dictatorship will re- sult from the President ' s de- fense and fiscal policies, he said. Standing on the campus of one of the largest state- supported art schools in the country, Selden criticized this tremendous over-em- phasis on the arts, the crea- tive arts like drama and lit- erature. . . . Education was also a fa- vorite topic of an entertain- ing but little-known candi- date for the Senate seat Scott won : Horace E. Hunk Henderson. His vi- vacious wife Vera visited the campus in search of hands to shake, and told a reporter that education is one of the most important things in a society. The liberal Republican- turned-independent (in pro- test of the conservative take- over of the GOP) tossed out some startling ideas: col- leges should abolish degree requirements and let stu- dents take whatever courses they wish. J B Liz Carpenter , ■ The campaign left an in- triguing footnote in the per- son of Vaughan Hargrave. an engagingly freaky sopho- more in. journalism from Brunswick County. Simply because I do things like that, Hargrave painted blue and white stripes and a huge red star on his face and went to an election-eve rally in the Coliseum featuring Vice President Spiro T. Agnew. For some obscure reason, a city policeman told him to wash the paint off. When he declined to do so, he was ar- rested and charged under a statute originally designed to get at lynch mobs terroriz- ing blacks. He was charged with wearing a mask or other device to conceal his identity. The case probably was one of the more foolish brought recently in the city, and Hargrave ' s lawyers filed a brief challenging the con- stitutionality of the statute. The law and its enforce- ment is in practice strongly political analysis and co affected by politics: and 1973 is an election year for such officials as local attor- neys for the commonwealth. Richmond ' s prosecutor, Jose Davila, no doubt weighed whatever points he might score with the Nean- derthal vote against the silliness of the thing, and dropped the charges. Nixon ' s re-election scored one for moderation. Har- grave ' s victory scored one for reason. Score two for America, mmentary by Richard L. Lobb Since VCU is compacted into a rather small area, there are about 1000 students per acre in the Fan. Some live in garrets, others in communal groups, and some with no fixed address at all. One of the major signs of VCU becoming a real university is the increasing number of people who just hang around Shafer Street but never have or will take a course here. There are guitar strummers, singers, the Hare Krishna crowd, and the inevitable backpacker fresh in from L.A. There is always someone ready to thumb somewhere and you only have to name a destination on WGOE to get three riders. Howard Ozmon The average VCU student is no genius but neither is he a dummy, although one can find both. A profile of the average student at VCU might be that he is male female, single (but involved) has an IQ be- tween 100 and 130, reads 1 or 2 books a year (in addi- tion to required texts) and knocks down a job some- where a few hours each week. He is aware of the customs: don ' t crack a book before exams, say sir to all professors, and complain about the grade what- ever it is. He knows that professors have their own credo: cover the material, seldom change a grade, and don ' t smile until semester-break. Howard Ozmon Louis Kahn r ♦ ' ♦ ' t • ' . • Being in the heart of Richmond one constantly hears that VCU is or should be an urban university. What that means no one is quite sure of, but they think it means that the city and VCU should get closer together. Squads of rubber-necking rednecks go down Grace Street nightly and gawk at the hippie- types in front of Hababas and The Village. VCU is a curiosity, a factory for turning out professionals, but it has not fully enjoyed the love of taxpayers, many of whom tend to see all university students as a col- lection of free-love, pot-smoking bums. Howard Ozmon Unlike the staid types in Boston or the so-called snobs of UVa, VCU students are real people. Sons and daughters of farmers, skilled workers, and pro- fessional people, they come to VCU for a change of viewpoints, lifestyles, the prospect of marriage, jobs, and other affluent things of the future. They are prob- ably affected and changed more by the people they meet than anything that goes on in the classroom — so what ' s new? Howard Ozmon It is difficult to put the VCU student in a mold. He really escapes classification. He is part-time scholar, student, party-goer, worrier, and change-agent. He bends almost to the ground but will pop back when you ' re not looking and surprising enough he is adapt- able. I think that years from now when our students are all alumni it will be difficult for them to think of VCU as a fixed entity. The school has been and will continue to be in transition. The student will look back at this passage through college as a passage through a world of unique sounds, sights, and ideas, and accept it for the marvelous experience it really - Howard Ozmon w - ' ' :■- '  ' .  . .
