Throughout campus, displays
of artwork, including paintings and
pottery, by local artists can be
found.
In fact, The Mont Alto Pottery
Cooperative, or MAPC, was
established in 2003 by the
Nicodemus Center for Ceramic
organization has approximately 19
potters and pottery students.
These artists’ works consist of
wheel thrown, slab and hand built
objects. Displays of the work can
be found in the pottery studio
located in the General Studies
building on the lower level in room
008.
Also, the Student Success
Center houses 25 oil paintings by
both a mother and her daughter.
Robyn Jacobs, mother, displays
pieces of artwork in the Success
Center which include modern
Editorial:
scenes from the Bible and Greek
mythology, landscapes, portraits,
nudes and abstracts.
“I like a lot of them. I like how
realistic they look. And I also like
that the portraits show a lot of
emotion,” said Joel Espinoza,
sophomore.
Jacobs’ displayed art pieces
including “Grief,” “Field IV
Sisters,” “The Judgment of Paris,”
and “Nude.” To view other pieces
of art visit, http://

“I enjoy doing artwork that
rewards a second look, and the
visual effects are meant to be just
confusing enough to enliven the
drama,” said Jacobs.
Jacobs’ daughter, Sarah Jones,
has studied art for five years and
now is manager of Gallery 30 in
Gettysburg. “When I paint people
I try to not only get likeness, but
to make them look the way they
are. If it came down to one or the
other, I would rather capture a
person’s attitude and energy than
his or her likeness,” said Jones.
Jones’ exhibited artwork includes
“Annunciation with Warning of the
Passion,” “Well Lit Icon,” and
“Professor.” More artwork can be

On a campus where students
look for and crave activities, it’s
hard to believe that some of the
activities that are available must be
paid for by students. For the first
month and a half of school,
students could play pool for free
in both the Wiestling Student
Center and also in Mont Alto Hall.
During this period of time both
places that offered free pool were
frequented by many students.
After the first month and half of
school though there was a change.
The pool tables in both Wiestling
and the Hall began to charge
students 50 cents. This was the
standard price for playing pool in
previous years. Since this change
of heart pool tables in both
locations have not been used half
as much as they were when pool
was free. One question being
asked by many students, is why
the sudden change? What is the
money collected by the pool tables
used for?
During many late evenings you
could go by Wiestling and see
students enjoying the pool table.
These students were both
commuters and on-campus
residents. Oddly enough the place
we deem on this campus as the
student center doesn’t even allow
the students to play pool in there
for free. It’s not much of a student
center if students must pay to play
pool.
On Wednesday November 7,
2007 a proposal was brought to the
Student Activity Fee committee
asking for $500 to pay for free pool
in Wiestling. The proposal was
denied. The committee denied the
proposal and asked the Activities
Coordinator to select one or two
days instead for free pool in
Wiestling. It’s interesting that the
committee refused to fund
something that students would
actually use.
Does the school really need
more money from its students?
Isn’t the cost of tuition enough?
Is it too hard to let pool be free in
Wiestling everyday? Students
aren’t here just one or two days
out of the week, they’re here
everyday. Pool should be free
everyday of the week. It’s
interesting how a student center
can charge those whom it’s there
for, the students. Students don’t
ask a lot of the school, right now
we're only asking for one thing. Let
pool be free in the Wiestling
Student Center.
