Original Allotment
All work on the Lake Claire project was ordered halted late last week
by the Student Government executives when the campus planner, James
Schroeder, notified SG that close to $9,000 had been spent to date, and
only the road and parking lot had been worked on.
"Needless to say," President-Elect Frank Santry told the FuTUre, "we
were shocked, at first, to find that

that   he  was  calling  a  committee

committee will submit the list of
priorities to the campus planner's
office    for   a   price    estimation.

money was spent for land clearing,

activities.

Profs Brave Elements
In 48 - Hour Marathon
In the face of fatigue, natural disaster, and hundreds of curious
students, four professors from the art department and many of their
students began a round of public creativity Wednesday that would last
for 48 hours without stopping.
Johann Eyfells and Gary Downing began sculpting, and Dr. Walter
Gaudnek and Acting Art Chairman
Steven   Lotz   turned   to   painting
about noon Wednesday. Eyfells
began by digging out a four-foot
trench to serve as a foundation for
the mold which he hopes will hold
a large concrete structure. No one
really knows what will come out of
the hole. When one of Eyfell's
assisting students was asked
whether the artist knew what he
wanted to create, the student said,
"I'm not sure, I think he does."
Gaudnek started working in the
art studios away from the other
three. However, his first duty was
not to paint but to build his own
frames and to stretch unrolled
canvas over them. "People don't
realize that an artist must also be
many other things, such as a
carpenter."
When the time came, Downing
quietly began working on a
structure made of aluminum poles
which progressively began looking
like an oversized TV antenna. He
explained that the cubes of metal
tubing formed only an exterior
frame in which the other half of his
work would be intertwined.
At noon Wednesday in front of
the Village Center, Lotz took five
large canvases from a stack and,
after standing them up, proceeded
to sketch and paint little by little
on all five.
Besides the art professors, many
students were present to assist
them. Among them was Randy
Drake, who set up a plywood
darkroom and began his campaign
of taking pictures of all the
participants once every two hours
for the full two days.
Gaudnek did not use any regular
assistants; however, he did allow
students to fill in certain portions
of one of his works with colors
under his direction. Halfway
through   the   painting   he  had  this
one of Lotz's paintings by the
Village Center. An onlooker asked
how she was allowed to do it and
she replied, "I don't know, he just
asked me."
By early Thursday morning only
the hardiest spectators were left.
Lotz was still changing his five
paintings so that they could hardly
be recognized as the ssme ones of
just an hour before, Eyfells had cast
the base of his sculpture and was
still shoveling dirt in the same suit

BULLETIN
Dr. Rex Brown, vice president
for student affairs, contacted the
FuTUre Thursday afternoon to
announce that John K. Arnold
had withdrawn his name from
consideration for the office of
Assistant to the Student Affairs
Vice President.
Dr. Brown said that emphasis
would now be shifted to try to
choose a new dean of men, and
assured the FuTUre that student
input would again be used in the
selection.
Students Voice Opinions
OnAsst.V.P. Applicant
Last week an applicant for the position of Assistant to the Vice
President for Student Affairs was on campus, and met with several
student and faculty leaders.
The prospective candidate was John K. Arnold, who has worked for
Florida State University since 1963,

students to the vice president for
student affairs in 1968, and serving
in that position until 1970. Since
that time he has been division
director in the Department of
Migrant Labor for the State of
Florida.
Vice President of Student Affairs
W. Rex Brown invited nine student
leaders to talk to Arnold. "I asked
both students and fellow
administrators to give me some
input on their impressions of Mr.
Arnold," Brown told the FuTUre,
"to help me formulate my
judgement of the man."
Brown reserved comment on his
impressions of Arnold "My
judgment is in a state of suspense,"
said Brown. "I will not completely
formulate my professional
judgment until I have received and
Several of the students who met
Arnold^ however, offered their
thoughts to the FuTUre. The group
was united on a number of points,
both favorable and unfavorable to
Arnold.
Student Government
President-Elect Frank Santry told
the FuTUre, "I found him (Arnold)
to be very at ease and friendly both
with myself and fellow students."
Santry went on to say Arnold is
"unquestionably experienced in the
student affairs area and his
intelligence is made obvious not
only by his academic record but his
communicative ease." Most of the
others in the group appeared to
agree with Santry's points, in that
regard.

'Whorehouses'
Reactions Vary
The comment of Elizabeth
Kovachevich, a member of the
Florida Board of Regents, that the
dormitories on Florida University
campuses were "taxpayer's
whorehouses" was met with
tolerant calls for investigation aft
best, and with indignant and often
equally profane shock at worst.
While Dr. Louis Murray, another
Regent, calmly called for an
investigation of the charges Miss
Kovachevich presented, students
living in the dormitories were taken
aback and angered. "I've never
heard of her coming here and
inspecting the dormitories for
herself. How could she ever know
what's going on around here?" said
one dorm resident.
Another said "I wonder what she
did when she was going to college. I
don't think Miss Kovachevich
realizes that the dormitories are the
homes of their residents. If we lived
off campus either by ourselves or
with our parents we would have
many more privileges than we do
now, and all of them would be
within reason."
"I think the idea is more
ridiculous than stupid," said
another resident. Unfortunately
most of the students comments
could not be printed.
The reaction of T. K. Wetherell,
FTU director of housing, was more
controlled. "I don't know where
she got her information about the
dorms, but I don't think this is the
case at FTU. Sure we have a little THIS ISN'T Farmer Brown painting a sign on his barn, but FTU Art
