METAL, STONE, PAPER EXHIBITED
Gallery features modern art Recent works of internationally known artists Seiji Kunishima and Ann Takayoshi Page will be on exhibit at the Boehm Gallery from October 26 through November 17. The new works of Kunishima shows his familiar metal and stone sculptures, but, according to Chuck Nicholson in a recent Artweek review, Kunishima expresses a more equal balance and a more complex relationship between man and nature than before. Most of Kunishima's works on view will be his horizontal arrangements of iron sections with stone. The stones appear to be naturally set into their iron stratalike layered homes. The sculptures
are comparatively small, ranging from 81/2 to 44 Ya , hallmarks of Japanese design. Also included in the Kunishima exhibit will be this "Mizukagami" (Water Mirror), in Swedish black granite. Ann Page's work will lend a nice contrast to this two-ar,tist exhibit. Page uses delicate layering of rice paper over an understructure of string. Where Kunishima's works rest on the floor, Page's works are hung. Her eight sculptures range from 34" to over 8 feet tall. Suzanne Michnic of the Los Angeles Times said of Page's wotk in a recent review, "The sculptures are symmetrical but their wrinkled surfaces and ragged protrusions
Fictitious business thrives on campus By Sarah Grimes Despite high interest rates and a flat economy, one business is thriving on campus. Camphrey Distributors, a fictitious book distributing company, is providing college credits to students seeking experience in General Office Procedures. Although the company is makebelieve, the experience gained by students is very real. When a student enrolls in General Office Procedures, Advanced Typing,orMachine Transcription,he or she leaves the traditional classroom and becomes part of the Camphrey Company. As an employee, the student is required to fill out a job application and a W4 form. Class attendance is recorded by punching a time clock and a factitious paycheck is issued at the end of every· week. "We try to tailor the course to a student's skills and needs," says Lorraine Doering, office manager at Camphrey Distributors and senior instructional assistant. The courses are structured into three one-unit modules. Tests are administered to gauge a student's skills. If a student can prove proficiency in typing or machine
transcription, these courses are not required. Students can set their own hours for learning. The office lab is open from 8a.m. to 4p.m. and students can come in anytime to a accomplish course re·quirements. Under the glare of fluorescent lights and amidst the din of clattering typewriters, students rotate through a variety of job simulations during the course of the semester. In Business 51, module one, a student works five hours as receptionist, five hours as mail clerk, and five hours as typist. In module two, students rotate as travel secretary, payroll officer, and financial officer. In module three, an advanced student could achieve executive status, and perform the duties of the office manager. Besides office time, formal classes meet in the "Bored Room." This executive boardroom is used to lecture students on the duties they must perform in each module. "We are working on getting people into the job market," reports Lorraine Doering. Pauline Rossmaessler, instructor and president of Camphrey Distributors added,"This is an opportunity for people to learn a paraprofessional skill."
make them look more organic than geometric. More important than formal qualities is the fact that the artist has wrought strong visual images from delicate structures." Several of the artists' work come to the Boehm Gallery through the courtesy of the Space Gallery in Los Angeles, while the rest are on loan from private collections. Because of budget restraints, the new hours for the Boehm Gallery are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.

Pianist Peter Gach will present a recital marking the one-hundreth birthday of one of Poland's most significant composers since Karol Szymanowski October 10 at 3 p.m. in the performance lab. One of the most original figures in Polish music in the first half of the twentieth century, Szymanowski was the composer of a substantial body of compositions which are still little known and recognized outside of his native Poland. Revered as that country's greatest composer since Chopin and as the father of twentieth century Polish music, Szymanowski was a widely traveled and well known figure in music circles prior to the second world war. His death in 1937 and the political changes in Europe after the war served to put his name into obscurity. At the time when the centennial of Bartok in 1981 and those of Stravinsky and Haydn in 1982 are being celebrated with many concerts throughout the world, the rich variety of Szymanowski's compositions has been somewhat overshadowed. Dr. Gach, a Polish-American on the faculty of Palomar, is attempting to remedy this situation. In addition to his recital he will repeat the program for the Polish Arts and Culture Foundation in San Francisco on the composer's birthday, October 16, as well as giving concerts in locations in the Bay Area and northern California. Dr. Gach's program will consist of the early and very romantic Etudes, op.4, the massive, virtuosic and rarely heard Third Piano Sonata, and the neoclassical Mazurkas from op.50. Gach is both by heritage and interest a specialist in the piano composition of Szymanowski. His fluency in the Polish language earned him a Koscuiszko Foundation grant to study at the Warsaw Conservatory (the institution where both Chopin and Szymanowski studied) and it was here that he first encountered the music of Szymanowski. Rich in texture, complex and distinctively original, the piano music especially captured his interest and he began a special study which he has carried into a Doctoral studies at the Universities of Indiana and Arizona and nation wide concert tours. The recital will be held in the performance Lab of the Music complex. For directions and ticket information, call the Music Department at 744-1150 or 727-7529,ext. 2317.
