Museum security topic of seminar
Bv TARA SHOCKLEY R' M. %/
By TARA SHOCKLEY
of the U.P. staff
The Southeast Texas Museum
Association will hold its quarterly
seminar beginning at noon,
tomorrow in the Brown Center,
Orange.
Guest speaker will be E.B.
Brown, director of security > for
the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort
Worth and one of the authors of
‘Museum Security,’ published by
the International Council of
Museums in both English and
„ French. Brown will speak on
security for small museums.
“We think this is an exceptional
opportunity for the small
museums to take this excellent
expertise and come up with an
inexpensive security system,”
said Calvin Smith, Lamar’s
director of museum services and
a member of the Council of Texas
Association of Museums.
In response to Senate hearings
in 1976, Smith said state sup-
ported museums were suggested
taking a broader responsibility to
offer help and advice to smaller
museums. As the regional state
supported museum, Spindletop
Museum agreed to hold quarterly
seminars, inviting all small
museums in the region to attend.
Last June, Peter Rippe, direc-
tor of the Harris County Heritage
Society, and Lynn Hughes, Spin-
dletop Museum’s curator of
collections, presented a program
on accessioning, registration and
cataloguing methods for museum
objects.
The next quarterly seminar
will focus on the finanical respon-
sibility of small museums.
A luncheon beginning at noon,
and the seminar following at
1 p.tti., are open to the public. The
cost of the luncheon is $5, but the
seminar is free. Reservations are
requested, and may be made by
contacting Calvin Smith at 838-
8122.
Bluegrass music featured in series
Jf
The second program of the 1977-1978
Cultural Awareness Series is scheduled
for tomorrow at 7 p.m. in front of the
Setzer Student Center.
Spindletop Museum and the Depart-
ment of History will present “Music to
Remember,” featuring bluegrass
music by the Southeast Texas
Bluegrass Association.
Representing the Bluegrass
Association will be the Hardin-
Jefferson Bluegrass Boys and Girls,
featuring Lee Roy Tatom, president of
the Southeast Texas Bluegrass
Association, Sour Lake; Barbara
Shirley, Nederland; Ruby Mullen and
Lerlie Perry, Beaumont; and Floyd
Perry, vice-president of the Southeast
Texas Bluegrass Association, also from
Beaumont.
The group entertains regularly at -
area nursing homes, and has per-
formed at many regional fairs and
festivals.
The group likes to talk about their
songs and the old instruments they use
during their performances, said Calvin
Smith, director of museum services.
To help perserve the music they play,
the group tapes and transcribes early
folk tunes.
Future programs in the Cultural
Awareness Series include James Clark,
co-author of the book “Spindletop”,
who will address the current energy
dilemma, "After Spindletop-What?,”
Jan. 10, 1978, the 77th Anniversary of
the Lucas Gusher.
Dr. William Seale, a native of
Beaumont, now a private restoration
consultant from Alexandria, Va. will
lecture on “The Cultural Significance of
Restoration” on Feb. 20.
Dr. Ron Tyler of the Amon Carter
Museum of Western Art in Fort Worth
will open a month-long exhibition of
lithographs of the Mexican War on Mar-
ch 1.
Dr. Martha Freeman from the
University of Texas will complete this
year’s series with an analysis of “19th
Century Texas Artists”.
All programs in the Cultural
Awareness Series are free to students
and the public.
Education studying course
to be reoffered this Spring
Education 1201, a course which
teaches students how to study, will be
offered again in the Spring, according
to Dorothy Forristall, director of reten-
tion.
Five sections of the course will be of-
fered with each section limited to 20
students.
Education 1201 is a new course being
offered for the first time this Fall. It is
an elective, two-hour course, and is
graded on the pass/fail system.
The course is designed to help studen-
ts develop good study habits and im-
prove learning skills necessary to per-
form well in college courses, Forristall
said.
The course is taught by trained
student counselors under the super-
vision of Forristall. Some of the areas
covered are note-taking, methods to
,help in studying and taking tests,
making oral reports, writing themes
and reports, and improving motivation.
Dr. D. Kent Welsh, of the Lamar
University counseling center, will con-
duct desensitization sessions for
dealing with test anxiety.
Whereas how-to-study work was once
considered a penalty for poor leprners,
Forristall stressed that bright students
often benefit most from the training.
“Everyone is a different individual,”
Forristall said, “so everyone is helped
in a different way.”
Feedback from the course has been
positive. “One student said that the
course ‘keeps me aware that I must
study,’’’she said.
