Art Museum Displays Visionary Art of Baptist
Minister: At the age of 60, Free Will Baptist minister Howard
Finster was inspired to paint "sacred art" with a brush and a can of
tractor enamel.
Almost two decades later, his messages from God have been captured
in thousands of his works, including record albums and advertisements.
Finster believes he can reach more sinners with his "sermons
in paint" than with sermons from the pulpit.
The exhibit of his works, which also includes the world premiere of

Beauty sal(

Assistant Carolina! Editor
Carolina Styles, USC's own
hairstyling salon, has been meeting
the needs of students for over 18
years.
Wanda Davis, manager of the
salon, was surprised when she
reflected on how long Carolina
Styles has been in business. Davis
has been working at the salon for,
14 years.
"This place has been here a long
time," she said.
Davis' day is filled with activity,
beginning with her first appointments
at 9 a.m. and lasting until
"whenever I leave." officially at 6
p.m. "I'm busy every 15 minutes,"
she said.
Davis began working at Carolina
Styles fresh from beauty school,
when the manager of the salon
called for "the best students" to
apply. Davis said she did it "for the
heck of it" and expected to stay for
two weeks or so. "I really and truly
loved it," she said.

Mathis has spotted several trends
in hairstyles lately. She says a good
number of guys have come in
recently to get "those bowl-type
things" done to their hair.
Along with hairstyles, Mathis
also does nail art. She performs
many services, including acrylic,
fiberglass and silk wraps. She feels

she does have many off-campus
customers. "The parking's kind of
rough, or I'd have more," Davis
said.
Davis agrees with Mathis on the
fairness of their prices. "You pay
for what you get, plus more," she
said. Along with lower rates, Davis
said she feels Carolina Styles also
offers unbeatable customer service.
"We respect our clients," Davis
said. "We try to have smiling faces
always."
The salon's hours are from 9
a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, and
Mathis said it usually closes
Saturdays around 2 p.m.
Appointments are not necessary,

Mathis. "We do take (walk-ins.)
