phy, and layout and design. That shows
really well-rounded staffs. I commend the
editors, the staff and the TV students.
These 23 awards coupled with the 22
awards that we won at the Southwestern
Journalism Congress competition in the
fall bring the total awards for communi-
cation students this year to 45. That’s
pretty good by any standard. I particular-

ly appreciated the judge’s comments. For
first place for special section, the judges
say,‘The University Press’s first place (for
its Sept. 11 coverage) did an outstanding
job of bringing so many photos, stories
together and utilizing staff talent.’
“One of our students even went to
New York City and shot pictures for that
issue. The judges also said, ‘We especially
liked the dynamic photos and the eclectic
Most of the papers will be published in

bases and survey results to reach their

news mix that looks beyond the universi-
ty.’ “You feel good when professionals
can find some good things to say about
your publications and your students.”
UP editor Daniel Chand said,“I think
that the number of awards that we won
honesty reflects the amount of work that
the staff has put into the paper. Our staff
deserved all the recognition that it has
received.”
The statistics included college students
killed in car accidents if the students had
alcohol in their blood, even if the level was
below the legal limit.
Students who died in other alcohol-
related accidents, such as falls and drown-
ings, were included. Those who died as a
result of homicides or suicides were not.

running a 14-foot furnace
that will produce 1,500
pounds of molten iron an
hour.”
Some people have made
molds ahead of time, Santos
said.
“I didn’t send up a mold,
but I’ll be making one when I
get there. “
The Lamar students, she
said, are all taking part in dif-
ferent workshops.
Dyrhaug said he will par-
ticipate in two panel lectures:
“Iron Casting Outside the
Academic Institution” and
“Iron: A Personal Expres-
sion.”
“Different people do
things different ways,” Santos
said. “It’ll still be a learning
experience even if you’ve
used the technique before
because there are so many
different approaches.”
She said that she has
heard stories of how other
cultures use different tech-
niques in pouring iron. For
example, she has heard that
the Japanese can pour the
iron very thin. She is excited
to see what others can do
with the medium.
“People are coming in
from all over the world,” she
said.
The conference, hosted
by The Johnson Atelier
Technical Institute of Sculp-
ture, was expected to attract
more than 600 artists, about
60 percent of whom are stu-
dents at various universities,
Dyrhaug said.
“The conference objec-
tive is to focus attention on
the growing interest in cast
iron as a sculptural material
by providing a forum for
artists and industry to ex-
change ideas on recent
trends, aesthetics and tech-
niques,” he said.
“Professional network-
ing is an important result of
this experience.”
Lamar’s art department
completed its 22nd annual
iron pour on March 1 to cre-
ate sculptures from iron
heated to 2,700 degrees and
poured into sand molds,
Dyrhaug said. Lamar’s
devotion to the art form is
considered rare among
Texas universities, he said.
The event helped stu-
dents prepare for the inter-
national event, he said.
“We have tried to
encourage advanced stu-
dents to focus on iron so
that when they go to the
international conference,
they will be the stars,”
Dyrhaug said.
“Creating art from
molten iron involves an
incredible degree of interac-
tion. A truly unique collabo-
ration surrounds it.”
Gentry has been in-
volved in sculpture at La-
mar for two years. She has
participated in the iron
pours that Lamar hosts.
Some of the artists who
visit Lamar’s pour will be at
the conference, she said.
“It’s going to be a big
gathering.... I’m just ready
to go,” she said.
“It (pouring iron) gets
in your blood.
Signs -

election all violations were
filed by the election com-
mission. We are just trying
to run a fair campaign.”
On Tuesday, the first
day of the SGA elections,
SGA President Alisa Hick-
lin covered one of Daspit’s
signs that was near the
front of the Setzer Center
because she said she want-
ed the SGA to avoid a per-
ception of bias toward any
candidate.
The election rules state
that a sign must be more
than 50 feet away from a
polling place.
Hicklin said the sign
that she covered was not
within 50 feet of a polling
place and was technically
not in violation.
But it was within eye-
sight, she said.
She also said that
Daspit told her that it was
fine with him to cover his
sign when she called to
inform him.
Quote of the Day
“The fact that a man is
a newspaper reporter
is evidence of some
flaw of character.”
— Lyndon B. Johnson
