Fleagle Editor-in-Chief Penn State Harrisburg Gallery Lounge has opened its 1995-96 season with large scale charcoal and pastel drawings, colletively titled "Animal and Other Six Letter Words," by Sue Buck. Buck is an assistant professor at Allegheny College where she teaches drawing and printmaking. She will be on campus Sept. 26 and 27 to talk about her work to faculty and staff and offer a workshop for students in PSH's studio art classes. where the murders of Nicole Brown- Simpson and Ronald Goldman occurred; Northeast LA, where Dodgers Stadium and the Police Academy are located; a n d Devonshire, which is in the San Fernando Valley. Perhaps the most intriguing assignment Hooper feels he ever had was in 1994. While working the I Devonshire area, he had to implement' the damage assess- ment plan put in place for the LAPD, for use during major earthquakes. It was a plan Hooper created 11 years before and had never been tried. "Actually, it worked pretty well," Hooper said. NEWS represent a variety of styles and media. Many of the applicants, from Pennsylvania and neighboring states, were college and university art instruc tors and most hold graduate degrees in art. Janet Widoff, Director of Student Activities and Linda Ross, who teach es PSH's studio art classes, sort through hundreds of images each year to put together an exhibit schedule that reflects comtempory trends in art and speaks to the social and political issues of the time. In October Lynn Cazabon of Bucknell University and Bob Troxel of Harrisburg Area Community College will be featured in a joint exhibition of photography and mixed media work. Hooper is a man of few words and, while he will not overstate an issue, he asserts what he believes in. He says that the Rodney King riots were "overblown" by the media and didn't have the impact television gave them. However, he asserts that the greatest problem in LA - and the country - is gangs. After experienc ing their effects over nearly a decade of uniformed work, he says that police cannot control the damage and mayhem that gangs create. He calls the ganglands an "unreal region to do police work in." Hooper said the main reason gangs are flourishing is simple: Drugs. The gang members control the drugs, and enjoy the profits they see from the illegal trade. The gangs are doing so well, Hooper said, that now "you can find Crips and Bloods all over the country." The main contributing fac tor to gangs, Hooper says, is the breakdown of the family. ; • ,... , ,iiil 11 1.... ~ ~...,.. ,1 of 1 , . , .. .. : . ••:•.,• •• .. :•••... !. • ...:' •" ..

"Without a caring environment at home to keep these kids there, they hit the streets," Hooper said. "That no one drags the kids home [or] wonders what they're up to, is part of what helps the gangs win."
