The other photographers whose works are
included in the exhibit are Norman Arnold,
Gene Visconti, James Bradley, Francis
“Smitty” Smith and Charles Blahusch.
They comprise a collection of famous
people who’ve vis
ited Harrisburg, as
well as ordinary per
sons or local scenes
of the area. They are

large portrait-like
format lining the
walls of the gallery.
The tonality of
black and white en-
photos are pure art,
with the effect of
“chiaroscuro,” or the appeal of a subject seen
bathed in light coming out of darkness. Such
as “Olin Harris,” a picture of a gospel musi
cian whose hands are lifted in heavenward
in prayer.
Some moments are poignant, as in “Purple
Heart.” This gripping shot shows a boy fac

There are some interesting pictures of a
young-looking John F. Kennedy and Rich
ard Nixon (separately) on the campaign trail
through Harrisburg in 1960. Also featured are
some humorous moments, like former Gov.
David Lawrence's spill off of a stool while
milking a cow at the Farm Show in 1960.
Similar is a timeless photo entitled “Diner.”
A shot you would not be able to place in time
if you had to guess without seeing the date it
was taken.
This is a rewarding diversion to your
school-sapped time, especially if you would
like to see a little of Harrisburg history in a
visually satisfying manner.
Hours are Mon.-Fri., 9 a.m.-4 p.m., and by
appointment. Call 975-2148 for more infor

’Urban’ artists will host
Gallery Lounge reception
An artist reception and talk will be held
from 5-8 p.m. Qct. 29 in the Gallery Lounge.
This event coincides with the closing of the
current three-person exhibit, “The Urban
Landscape.” Two of the participating artists,
Michael Allen and Judith Stone will discuss
their work and answer questions. The infor
mal talk is set for 6 p.m. All are welcome.
The show features three artists’ interpreta
tions of the urban landscape. Judith Stone
confronts us with stark juxtapositions of con
struction and demolition machinery, Robert
Andriulli constructs panoramic bird’s eye
vistas of unnamed cities and Michael Allen
offers a mixture of approaches to street and
highway scenes.
Judith Stone, who recently moved from
Philadelphia to Burlington, Vt., is interested
in “incomplete structural states and with all
And a Halloween ghost story
Bucknell dorm residents tell tale of 'Haunt Hall'
LEWISBURG, Pa. Eerie events have
cropped up often enough at Bucknell
University's Hunt Hall to earn the women’s
dormitory the nickname “Haunt Hall.”
According to college lore, if a student in
Hunt hangs a dress on the back of the door to
her room, the ghost of a former resident will
climb into it.
Cara Mickelsen remembers one bizarre
night last autumn in her fourth-floor room in
Hunt. The Holmdel, N.J., resident said she
was lying in bed with her eyes closed, when
she felt someone watching her.
“I opened my eyes and saw a hand reach
ing for my face,” she said.
She screamed, got up and turned on a light.

that is kinetic and transitional, constructive
and destructive.” The cities she’s visited in
clude Nagasaki from which she makes a pow
erful reference to the destructive-construc
tive.
Unlike Stone’s confrontational images,
Robert Andriulli’s impressionistic paintings
are of cities seen from afar. His powdered
graphite and wash drawings are sensuous,
painterly evocations of distant planes. He
teaches art at Millersville University.

ing streets and highways and more very sen
suous charcoal drawings in which patterns
of light play an important role.

No one was there. Suddenly, Mickelsen said,
a bottle of pills shot off her dresser.
Some at Bucknell believe the dorm is
haunted by the spirit of a woman who died
in a buggy accident in the school’s early
years. Others say she was a student who was
waiting for her parents to pick her up for term
break when she fell in the small stream near
the hall and drowned.
One of the woman’s sorority sisters wrote
of the legend in Bucknell World alumni
magazine in 1989: “To all of you who won
der, greet her with love and calm her fears.
She always found friends on third Hunt.”
