Arakawa exhibited by Gallery Thirty-six drawings by Shasaku Arakawa , an internationally known painter and graphic artist, will be on exhibition at the Boehm Gallery from Novem her 29 through December 22. The exhibition consists of three dozen large drawings on paper executed in pencil and further worked in either color crayon, watercolor, pastel, or combination of media. They explore the illusive relationship between words and images, a major theme in Arakawa's work. Born in Japan, Arakawa has been a prominent figure in both conceptual and narrativeartmovementsin the United States since the early 1960's. The drawings in the exhibiton were completed by the artist between 1961 and 1974 and summarize the development of a major theme in his work, The Mechanism of Meaning. In "The Mechanism of Meaning," writes art critic Nicholas Calas whose illustrated catalogue accompanies the works, "Arakawa explores the relationship between words and images. He touches our memory and our subconscious uniting a "sign" of a thing with the thing itself. His works are composed of words, lines and markings the engage the viewer in a series of intricate interactions which point to the elusive nature of perception and thought. Hours for the gallery are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. For more information call 744-1150 or 727-7529, extension 2302.

Astronomy expert will spealc Maarten Schmidt, professor of astronomy at the California Institute of Technology, will present a lecture on "Searching for the End of the Universe" at 8 p.m. November 17, in room P-32. The talk, free to the public, is jointly sponsored by the college Community Services Division a nd Earth Sciences Department. Schmidt will discuss the revolution in astronomy since the early 1950's - much of which is due to research with the 200-inch Hale Telescope at Palomar Observatory. The discovery of quasars in 1960 was an important element in these new insights into the nature of the universe. In 1963, Schmidt made astronomical history when he discovered that quasars ' light spectra indicated that they were the most dis_tant and brightest objects in the universe. Internationally known for his continuing studies of quasars , Schmidt showed by his research that these objects lie far outside our own galaxy and that their red shifts arise from the continuing expansion of the universe. (Red shifts are the
changes in wavelength of light from quasars as seen from earth because the quasars are rushing away from earth. Another example of such a "Doppler shift" is the lowered pitch of a train whistle as it speeds away from an observer . Before Schmidt resolved the puzzle, astronomers had been baffled by the spectra that
