PSU Magazine Summer 1987

• • Reardon, academic policy and pro– cedures; Rod Diman , academic program operation s; Bernard Ross, graduate studies; and Orcilia Forbes, student affairs. The restructuring brings the administration of under– graduate and graduate programs into one office. Master's in Justice offered this fall Oregon's first master of science degree in justice administration will be offered at PSU this fall through the School of Urban and Public Affairs. The new program is expected to attract people already at work in law enforcement, corrections, the courts, and parole and probation. In 1965, Portland State was the first state institution to offer a certificate in law enforcement, which was expanded to a bachelor's degree in 1972. The new master's degree program super– cedes the criminal justice option available to urban studies graduate students since 1975. Legislature Continued from page 3 Also within the Centers of Excel– lence, PSU's School of Engineering and Applied Science will receive $400,000 over two years to add facu lty, particularly in electrical engineering. The University's International Trade Institute will receive $500,000 over two years to continue its programs at PSU and tie in with Gov. Goldschmidt's Oregon Trade and Marketing Center to be located downtown . President Sicuro listed the area of salaries as the on ly disappointment from the legislative session. "I recognize that the Legislature will address this problem with more intensity in 1989, but I am afraid that in the meantime, we wi ll slip back to the bottom one-third of comparator institutions for faculty salaries." PSU also received approval for Phase II of a new student housing project already being built on campus. The President's Associates, a PSU giving club, gathered recently at Lincoln Hall to enjoy an evening's entertainment fry students and faculty in the School ofFine and Performing Arts. President Sicuro spent a few moments before the show with Lee Koehn ('73), member of the Foundation Board; Maurice Lucas, Advisory Board; and Mark Dodson, State Board ofHigher Education. Sicuro met with metropolitan area legislators frequently during the session and said, "they were extremely helpful in advancing the cause of Port– land State. The Advisory Board also was h elpful during the session , par– ticularly in gaini ng approval for the Millar Library addition." All things considered, he said, "it was a banner year."

In 1987 he will exhibit in New York, Los Angeles, Portland, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Yokohama (Japan), and Biella (Italy). Having recently moved from landscapes and figures into abstracts, Kelly believes that "contemporary art is really about expressing the artist at the moment th at you're working." One of his early influe nces in working "at the moment" was Elvis Presley, who, according to Kelly, did most of his first 17 recordings on the first take. Like Elvis, Kelly is trying to create "without corrections." Contemporary abstracts do not appeal to Japanese collectors, how– ever, so Kelly is considering anoth er switch. This summer when he returns to Kyoto, h e may try sculpture - bronze castings of classic forms. Kelly admits that commuting between cultures and art forms makes for an adventurous, unpredictable life– style. "I don't know what's going to happen," h e laughs. One thing is cer– tain. A ch erry tree quietly waits in his Kyoto garden. z w :i: l.J ~ u
