-r- ART PSC's 450 art students have more espirit de corps than most college groups. They identify-with their de- partment, their 25 teachers, and with each other. ln every field of art there is a vital interaction between student and teacher; frank discussion of the student's weaknesses and strengths intensifies the affinity of the student for his department. The teacher takes pains to show an interest in every student's work. This is the special quality of the Art Department-a sense of belonging. The strength of the department is its teachers; all are experienced artists, actively practicing in some art field outside of teaching. Each instructor is first an artist and does not lose contact with new develop- ments in his field. Seven had their work shown in this year's Oregon Artist's Exhibition. The culmination of the year is always the spring exhi- bit. Teachers select the outstanding student art work from every field to be displayed in the lobby of South Park Hall. Following the exhibit, PSC art students put together the art sale which drew both crowds and money to South Park Hall. Through the sale, money was once again raised for art scholarships. This year four such grants were awarded using the proceeds from last year's premier art sale. -l0B
