BOOK SALE 1891 Friday, April 26 Saturday, April 27 AT PENN STATE UNIVERSITY DELAWARE COUNTY CAMPUS LIBRARY 12 NOON - 8 PM 9AM -2PM Although much of the net will go toward meeting one-time expenses for the show, such as the panels on which the art was hung, and to advertising and overhead expenses, the endowment fund is expected to benefit from the show in a number of ways. One way is through the campus’ commitment to the exhibit for the next few years. “I'm enthusiastic about next year,” Dr. Cooper said. I have a lot of ideas. And basically, I think it’s a good way for the campus to interact with the community. Those who came were impressed with the uniformly high calibre of the art work and then went home and told their friends. So we have built a good reputation with this first effort.” Dr. Cooper also mentioned the excellent support for the exhibit from Joe Biscontini, Campus Public Relations Officer, and the strong assistance from Marianne Rhodes, Publicity Office and from Alex Pendragon, Development Office, as well as from faculty, staff, and students who helped with and supported the show. EXHIBIT 92 will be mounted next year during Spring Break. Mark your calendar.
