Thomas Offers
A Big Favorite
Fall term begins this year
with a new addition to the
course schedule, Photographic
Media.
BE pro-registration interest is
any indicator, the course,
taught by Professor Troy
Thomas, appears to be an
overwhelming favorite.
The course is scheduled to
meet Monday and Wednesday
during sth and 6th periods,
although students are expected
to allow themselves free time to
utilize the facilities of the
photography lab.
Thomas described the
course as the “practice of
photography”, with the aim of
the course being to allow
students to explore photo
graphy as an aesthetic and
socially significant medium,
with an emphasis on the use of
photography within the fields of
journalism and the fine arts.
“Photojournalism at its best is
synonymous with photography
as a fine art,” Thomas said.
The course will also deal
with the practical aspects of
black and white photography,
such as shooting, developing,
minting and mounting.
Thomas plans to expose the
students to photography at its
best, by showing great photo
graphs of the past and present
There will also be weekly
group sessions in which time
will be allowed for group
discussion and criticism of
student photographs.
According to Thomas, three
35mm cameras and three
120 mm cameras will be
available for student use. The
lab will also provide chemicals
and enlargers.
E.R.A.
May two Now members from
the Capitol Campus chapter
rode the ERA Freedom Tain to
join a national ERA rally in
Springfield, Illinois. According
to the New York Times about
8,000 supporters of the Equal
Rights Amendment from 30
states met in Illinois’ state
capitol. It was an excellent
opportunity to meet women and
men from all over the country
and to view a social movement
in action.
The Equal Rights Amend
ment is supported by many
national, state and local
organizations including: Amen
ican Jewish Congress, Council
for Christian Social Action, St
Joan’s Alliance of Catholic
Women, National Association
of Negro Business and Profes
sional Women, General Feder
ation of Women’s Clubs,
National Organization for
Women, National Federation of
Business and Professional
Women, and many AFL-CIO
unions.
Four more states are needed
before the E.R.A. can become
the 27th amendment And until
that time the passage of the
E.R.A. will be a primary
objective both nationally and
locally. A Virginia and/or
Florida rally is being considered
for early 1977. Want to be a part
of it, join the National
Organization for Women and
support “Equality of rights
under the law shall not be
denied or abridged by the
United States or by any state on
account of sex.”
By Patty Stanchak
Students are expected to
provide their own texts, paper
and film.
Don Shoemaker is the new
photography lab assistant He
will be available during the week
to help students with their lab
work.
The use of the photography
lab is not limited to photo
graphy students. On Fridays the
lab will be available to
interested parties for a small
fee.
