According to Johnson, quilt-making (a

After she finally gave herself p

was there to tap into when I returned to
" Johnson said.
Johnson's "Pnnt Palette" — a 8-foot by
_sbythe8'x_0' pri
20 foot work with a $5,000 price tag — led
to further experimentation with printed
fabnc and the beginning of her Paterials.
"The Paterials grew out of the Print
Palette," she said.
Selling the pieces is "not my priority,"

The feminist art movement has becom<
i part of history, according to Johnson.
'There's no such thing as artistic isolation.
There's always another artist somewhere doing
something similar.'
Johnson said, explaining that she would
like to display her work in major art galler
Johnson said she selected March to
display the exhibit in CSUF's Phebe Con
ley Art Gallery because it "represents the
different areas in Ihe arts and use any
media they desire.
"Not only did women benefit from the
movement," Johnson said, "it also gave
men a great new freedom to explore
untraditional media in their work."

According to Pritchard, her friends
have piaved an important part in offering
encouragement rn time of need.
"1 love everyone here (at West Coast)."
sasd Pritchard with a smile. "Of course I
don't trunk I could make it without Deb
tne. she's there whenever I need her."
Pritchard is referring to Debbie War-
nick, 23, also a student at West Coast
Christian College, who serves as Prit-
chard's assistant, pushing her wheelchair
around and doing many other services for
Pritchard.
Warnick's feelings for Pritchard are
mutual.
"She helps me by encouraging me
when I need help with different things and
when I'm depressed," said Warnick.
"When 1 see her sitting in that wheelchair,
she's always smiling..always there with a
helping hand.. .always there to encourage."
Pritchard has been a victim of rbeuma
toid arthritis, the most severe of the
rheumatic diseases, for 20 years. She said
her condition has improved from nine
years ago  when  she  was  a complete
"At that time, 1 couldn't do anything
except feed myself; my mother had to
clothe and bathe me, and things like that.

Pritchard has had surgery five times.
Both of her hands have been replaced
with artificial knuckles which Pritchard
says "don't really help that much." She

"Sometimes if I'm hurting a lot it affects
my thinking because I can't concentrate

Pritchard is currently taking three
kinds of medication, two of which are pain
killers. The other is a type of shot which
contains pure gold, said Pritchard.
"I have to get gold shots every three
weeks," she said. "It's supposed to pre¬
vent your bones from deteriorating, Snd

wheelchair, but 1 just leave it in God's
hands," she said. "He knows and He

Long path leads to art
A woman brought David Hallaway to
art and he followed another to Fresno.
Now he's happily constructing ceramic
sculptures as a student in the CSUF art
department.
Hallaway said that while he always
enjoyed art, he'd never planned to do
anything with it. "J always thought I'd
probably become a lawyer or a social
worker...btit the girl I was dating at that
time went to this fine arts high school
(High School of Performing Individual
Arts jn Houston, Texas) and so I enrolled
We broke up before school even started,"
he said. Hallaway began with painting, but
complains that he grew tired of copying
pictures. "My mother reinforced my art
but in a classical sense. What I do now is'
totally different."
After high school, he went on to study
art at the University of Houston and then
East Texas State. "Then 1 fell in love,"
Hallaway stated. "And so I gave it all up
(family, school, life in Texas) to follow her
2.000 miles to Fresno."
Once again, things didn't work out, but
he stayed in Fresno. "I guess it was good
lor me to get away from my parents'
influences." he said. "Besides, I was tired
of transferring from one university to the
next, now I want to graduate and get it
Hallaway is now in his second year at
CSUF, and has hopes of graduating in
December.
What happens to his work after he is
finished with it? "I give a lot of it away to
friends, or I loan it. with the option that I

the misunderstandings stem. It is the
same amount that has received such
widespread publicity over the past few
months.
This unallocated fund is approximately
$17,000 per year, an amount which has
been budgeted from our 510 student fee
during the budgetary process. The
$17,000 comes in at the beginning of the
Fall semester and is then returned to the
students in the form of a dairy newspaper,
variousculturalactivities, a lecture series,
etc. Money which has been allocated to
date went out for very effective and bene¬
ficial student programs, and although we
try to anticipate needs, we truly could not
foresee the Tutorial Center's shortage
until they brought it to our attention. By
that time we did not have the resources to
help them. Please let me assure you that
the Tutorial Center is a top priority at the
Senate, as we are all students and know
can get it all back whenever I need it " he
said.
Hallaway said he preferred working
with clay to any other media because of
the three-dimensional possibilities
although, he added, "It's not the easiest
material to work with." One of the draw-
backsof working with clay, according to
Hallaway, is the time element involved
because of materials drying out and also,
most people don't realize that you can't
stick one piece of clay onto another, one
piece has to be done all at one time."
Besides being a student and an artist
Hallaway is a tire salesman for
Montgomery Wards. "I used to sell my
work — make a lot of money, but I got so
wrapped up in marketing, I found I wasn't
experiencing 'art.'
"So 1 got a job to support my art, so I
could do my work for the sheer
experience of it," he said.
Hallaway said he hopes to destroy a
popular image of "starving,' drug addict
artists.. .a lot of us arre very hard workers.
Thirteen hours a day in the studio in not
uncommon."
He also pointed out that commercial
_r„ a"d L'f,rt for art's sake" is very
ditterent: You can't even compare 'em.
One is for business and the other is
expressing your soul."
Hallaway admits that his work is "a little
unusual." he calls it "inconographic" —
large, elaborate boxes that were used to
encase relilgious objects.
"My art is a little too emotional for my
taste," he admitted, "but then I'm still
young.
"I always want to create art. Sometimes
artists isolate theirseives from society
why we are here. It was a simple case of
bad timing.
The Senate as a whole is a very con¬
scientious, caring and hard-working
body, donating time, effort and energy
toward trying to do its best to benefit as
-many students as possible with a limited
amount of funds. And truly, if there are
questions about what the actual alloca¬
tion process is, there are almost an unlim¬
ited number of ways by which students
can become involved and affect the out¬
come of this process. -     *
The Senate is not an isolated, detached
body of persons, but rather a group of
dedicated, involved students who are
always open to new people and ideas. The
Senate is merely a tool through which we
all can leam to affect what is happening
around us. I hope that this wiD finally alle¬
viate any confusion there might have
been, not only surrounding funding from
separate accounts, but also" the, actual
process used by the Senate to allocate
student monies for the most benefit.
