Short couri When the Associated Press camo out with a story in the spring of 1%9 about thhe University of South Carolina's proposed Lovemaking Short Course, many eyebrows were raised. Furthermore, when Dr. Thomas F. Jones made the statement he enthusiastically supported "...the goals and achievements of the Short Course Program..." he was roundly criticised by those who hadn't bothered to look into the program, but ludged mainly by the title of the lovemaking course. The Short Course Program is. one offered by the University Union's Short Course Com mittee, formerly a sub. committee of the Lecture's Committee. The program gets its name from the variety of non-credit courses open through the program to students just for the asking. When the courses were first established, there were 106 different topics in which over 2600 students enrolled. By far the largest enrollment was in the Lovemaking course, which '.,r,t 01s .41 Art I s Teed's philosophy on art education has prompted him to explore all areas of art including crafts, ceramics, painting and weaving. Painting, however, is his forte. "I really strive to sell the philosophy that art is for everyone, not just the gifted, because art in its most general sense has something for everyone, no matter what their level of ability might be," he explained. Taking an extremely pragmatic approach to the question of art education, Dr. Teed points out, "We have to have some observers or buyers; if we don't educate buyers in the area of aesthetics and art, how are they going to know what to buy?" Although Prof. Teed is interested in ceramics, jewelry and sculp ture, he believes "you can't be a master of any if you dabble in all" BRAW 1334 Sumter St. 254-8128 Lunch ' " TR ADIT FOOD4 CA TERI!

It's purpose is to develop leaders "in laboratories for learning." The students and administrators from USC who have already participated in one confence feel its value lies in three basic areas: Self examination, to help one realize his own effectiveness, group dynamics, learned by A Pool room for evx forms of art.Consequently, he has limited his own creative efforts to painting. His work borders on a com bination of expressionism and realism. "I really do ex pressionistic painting experimental works with lots of collage. I use the mixed media pencil, crayola, water colors--and acrylics or polymers--plastic paints." Elements of realism invade his pictures, as Prof. Teed takes reality and personalizes it. "I use basic forms relating to me," he explains. "I'm a lover of land scapes and nature forms. In old architecture, for example, I paint the contrast between man-made forms and nature forms." His major colors are blue and green. "I seldom use oranges or earth tones." he points out just as a matter of personal preference. "Blues and greens are more pleasing to me-I guess I paint wvith a cool palette or have a "Cool" personality," he joked.

Bronm to students popular courses were eliminated and others were 'rnmbined. Those back for a second round included lovemaking and bartending. This fall the Short Course Committee plans to bring the courses back for a fourth round after renewed success during the spring semester last year. At this time the Committtee is finalizing plans. The decision on which courses to include will be based on thz response to questionaire sent out by the committee last spring. to meet participation, and specific leadership techniques to com plement the concepts of group dynamics. Barney Oliver, who attended a similiar conference in North Carolina, and is the co-ordinator for this one, advised student government and administration officers in a report to "recommend that more of our students and adminstrators be enabled to participate in a NLM conference." rybody described himself as a con servative painter, Prof. Teed believes his style is changing--it's less conservative. "Once you decide a style is me and never change, you deteriorate as an artist," he explained. As an associate professor in the department of art, Teed comes in daily contact with the crafts through the classroom. He teaches both graduate and undergraduate art educatioun courses. One reason Teed believes he enjoys painting is he "sells art education all day" and teaches in areas other than painting. That way he is fresh for painting after these classes. Teed has presented one man shows at Columbia College, USC at Florence. Furman University, L ander and Coker Colleges, and is schedfuled to present another in November at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Hickory, N C. He won two prizes in this year's Columbia Artist Guild in Guild including the Judges Award for painting. 00-8:00 TTHERN LITY" R?
