Unusual art form pursued
"No I dont see my egg's as
posing a serious threat to Andy
Warhol' soup cans. Not with at
many fried eggs as there are in
this world." Eggs fried hard-
boiled or plastic are a delicate
subject of conversation with
Brian Pinkey these days. Brian a
junior Bible major from Sand
Springs Okla. pursur tho
unusual habit of painting Legg'a
"eggs." These spherical plastic
"eggs" for those who dont
know are containers for the
Legg's brand hosiery.
"Actually there's nothing del-
icate about them. They're practi-
cally indestructible." As if to
prove his point the beautifully
painted egg which he had been
casually tossing from one hand
to the other fell to the desk. He
retrieved it unharmed and
continued his story.
"It all started four years ago
when I painted up some hard-
Marler presents case
to FCC in Washington
ByTEDNOLEN
Dr. Charles Marler associate
professor of communications
recently addressed the Federal
Communications Commission in
Washington D. C concerning
the rules governing sport broad-
casts on free and pay television.
Going at the request of the
National Association of Broad-
casters Dr. Marler spoke "In
favor of the home viewer's rights
and the preservation of sports
for the people."
Tho NAB sought Dr. Marler u
a speaker largely because of his
publication "Freedom of Infor-
mation Center Report No. 310
Pro Sports: Super Blackout!"
This report basically said that
TV has made professional foot-
ball prosperous and scverly hurt
minor league baseball and box-
ing. The report applauded the
Congressional act of 1073 that
allowed televised broadcasting of
local sellout games.

Watu Wazuri and the Stu-
dents' Association co-sponsored
Bond as the fall lecturer.
Students' Association Presi-
dent Kelly Utsinger said that
Bond canceled his appearance
because "the Democratic party
wanted him to stay in Georgia
for the elections on Nov. 5."
Utsinger says that the SA Is
currently renegotiating with
Bond but no new agreements
have been reached. He cited the
difficulty In securing Moody
Coliseum for another date as a
major problem in rescheduling
the event.
No replacement for the fall
lecturer has been announced.

friend. She really liked them so
the next year I painted her a
dozen of these" Brian
explained indicating the plastic
shell covered with a fiery scene
of towering mountains serene
water graceful pines and fine-
drawn deer. "And then I drove
400 miles to deliver them to
her."
With a curious mixture of
humor and earnestness Brian
who has never had any type of
painting instruction discussed
his art work. "I paint because I
like to. And to combat the
so-called 'pop art.' As for rele-
vancy well I leave that to the
professional artists."
When asked "But why eggs?"
Brian responded with a ready
and sornewhat lengthy explana-
tion of the technical challenges
Involved in painting a spherical
surface. "Also I believe that art

before the FCC in the middle of
a three-day hearing held Oct.
23-25. Originally discussed and
decided upon in 1960 the
rehearing Is the result of changes
due to technological advances
new members of the FCC hear-
ing It for the first time and the
persistence of pay television
advocates.
In his presentation Dr. Marler
spoke of the hatards of "uncon-
trolled television coverage" of
major sporting events. He cited
boxing and baseball primarily
largely reiterating his FOI
report.
During the three-day hearing
both sides of the issue wero
heard with more than 100 peo-
plo appearing before tho com-
mission. The hearing also
involved the onti-siphonlng
rulings concerning movies and
feature series as well aa sports
events.
The antl-tiphonlng ruling
simply prohibits cable com-
panies from charging a fee to
carry special events at a alight
extra charge on an "elec-
tronically scrambled" channel. A
ruling from the commission is
expected around the end of tho
year.

money."
Although he docs sell his crea-
tions monetary matters are of
little concern to Brian. It Is his
aim to be able to disdain
material things.
A transfer student from Okla-
homa Stato Brian has set several
goals for himself. Foremost he
wants to live a life devoted to
God's service perhaps as a
preacher. In conjunction with
this he would like to eventually
get married and provide a Chris-
tian home for his children. "As
long as we're dreaming" Bilan
rather sheepishly confessed "I
guess ono of my greatest aims is
to return to ACC to teach."
Senate recommends fall
The Senate passed two
unanimous resolutions concern-
ing teacher evaluations and
course offerings in their meeting
Tuesday night.
One resolution was a recom-
mendation to the Academic
Council to initiate teacher evalu-
ations for both fall and spring
or at least for fall courses not
offered the spring semester.
The other resolution was to
seek some way of publishing a
list of courses that will be
offered one semester a year to
aid students in fall registration.
Students' Association Presi-
dent Kelly Utsinger said the
Julian Bond lecture scheduled
for last Monday was canceled
because of Bond's election day
