are all examined in this collection of gastronomic
import "What's for Dinner?" opened Dec.
15 and will run through March 15,1995.
Food has been a popular theme of art throughout
history. Cave paintings depict hunting and
gathering, ancient Egyptian art reflects hunting
and agrarian themes. Food was a focal point
in much Renaissance art, from overflowing banquet
tables to delectable still life scenes. The
Impressionist period of Degas and Manet examined
the European obsession with restaurants
and bars. Native American and African
art still reflect cultural attitudes concerning
food to this day.
"Whats fa* Dinner?" reflects societal changes?
from the agrarian past when food was one of
the primary concerns of daily life, to the present
day of commercial products and restaurant
meals which we take for granted. Other
words show tho arHsfs norsnnnl interpst in t.V?P
natural world that ultimately becomes the food
we eat?pigs, chickens, cows, vegetables and
fruits. Many of the pieces reflect the increasing
commercialization of food production and
sales. Dining out has become a national pastime
for Americans, and as this phenomenon
increases, so does the associated advertising.
Everyday, we are inundated be messages for food
products?restaurants in particular. Advertising
messages can strongly influence the public
and many times the product packaging can produce
a potent symbol to be used by artists?good
examples of which are Andy Warhol's soup cans
and Coke bottles.
In contrast, some of the artists in this exhibition
find inspiration in the beginning of the
food process, agriculture. Many of the artists in
this exhibition grew up on farms and felt it a
special experience they wished to share with others.
This is timely, since the percentage of the
population involved in farming continues to decrease,
impacting the way our culture perceives
the natural world and the cycle of life and death.

"What's for Dinner?" contains more than 30
works by artists both local and of international
reputation. The focal point of the exhibition is a
sculpture by Duane Hanson. Made of polyvinyl
acetate, this lifelike "Self Portrait with Model"
shows the sculptor, drinking his Coca-Cola seated
at a dinner table with a woman epjoying her
sundae and gossip magazine. It will be hard for
visitors, but they must not touch this incredibly
realistic sculpture. Hanson has paid extreme attention
to detail, down to the bluish veins in the
hands and the hair on the arms of his people.
The show also features internationally renowned
furniture maker, Craig Nutt. Nutt, who is from
Alabama, turns wood into bright vegetable shapes
that are used as the basis of his chairs and taKIaa

Mono has

SUSAN GOODWK Features Editor
While college life is known for its
exams, early morning excursions to
IHOP and all-nighters, there exists another
legacy of the university years invariably
linked to the college experience.
Mono.
"I probably see one or two cases a
week," said Dr. Edward McCullough
of the Thomson Student Health Center.
"It's a disease that's very prevalent
in college-age students."
Dr. Terry King, also of the Health
Center, said he agrees that the college
crowd gets more than its fair share of
mono but stipulates that there is a reason
for that.
"It's a disease you only get once,"
King said. "People aren't exposed until
they're in college or of college age.
Late high school or college are when
people who are going to get mono get
it."
As mono seems to strike down many
USC students, it might help to know
exactly what this prevalent force on
campus is.
"Mononucleosis is an infection caused
by a virus," King said. "It involves the
throat, swollen lymph nodes, the liver,
the spleen and fatigue."

plin, the latter played a major role in
her mono experience her freshman
year.
"Before they diagnosed me, I thought
I was losing my mind because I couldnt
stay awake," Pamplin said. "Even now
if I get really worn down, it takes me
a long time to get my stamina back
up."
Pamplin also suffered other symptoms
at the hands of the disease.
"Over the weekend I developed big
gaping holes in the back of my throat
? and a really poor disposition," Pamplin
said "Somehow I made it til Monday.
I went to the front desk of the
Health Center and said, 'I'm dying; I
need to see a doctor."'
While Pamplin's case was severe,
not all bouts with mono are so debilitating,
McCullough said.
"You can be mildly sick and not
know you have it," McCullough said.
"Other people can be just as sick as
they can be, and you have to put them
in the hospital. Most cases are fairly

Regardless of the severity of a student's
dealings with mono, there are
symptoms that are common in most
cases. The main three are fatigue, sore
throat and fever. Another hallmark of
mono is the enlarged spleen.
"Normally the spleen is protected
by the ribs," McCullough said. "With
mono, it gets bigger and is more susceptible
to trauma. Any contact sport,
such as soccer or football, where you
can fall down could cause it to rupture."
Getting mono doesnt only keep students
from recreational athletics. With
the disease comes advice from the doci.

"Most people with mono are too sick
to want to drink," McCullough said.
"In addition to having a big spleen, you
can develop jaundice. Alcohol can also
inflame the liver. So, you're adding two
potential liver problems."
As more students become card-carrying
members of the "mono club," how
mono is transmitted becomes increasingly
important.
"You get it from mucous membrane
contact ? kissing, sharing a drink,
sharing a toothbrush," King said.
Though education junior Christy
Emory may not have known the ins
and outs of mono when she had it her
freshman year of high school, she said
she does remember a general summation
of the sickness.
"It was the worst I ever felt," Emory
said.
Even with those sentiments, Emory
admits that while mono may not be a
fun way to spend a few weeks, it's not
that bad and even has its perks.
"I slept through the worst part, and
I woke up and got out of P.E. for the
rest of the year," she said.
King agrees that mono isn't the
dreaded disease some make it out to
be.
"Most times this is a self-limiting
disease, in that it doesn't require any
medication," King said.
While mono may not be the best
way college students can spend their
down time, the old adage of "this too
shall pass" seems to be applicable to

"You'll be sick," McCullough said.
"But you will get better."
