In the 60's Natkin produced his Apollo series, decorative pieces characterized by vertical bands of jeweled and textured color. Now, he ex periments with color-light treatment, which he said amalgamates both the decorative and the illusionistic. Some paintings from his most recent series, "Intimate Lighting," are included in the museum's exhibit. The series presents a blend of color through screens, hatchings and cubic patterns. From a distance, the works present a strong green, red or blue tonality. Clusters of color and intricate patterns show up only through close examination. , ,dee 474464, 7 Ag ,, 4,14,4z" - Pietze-- 7,zete_ Departing from Natkin's use of bright color, Dolnick works largely in pastels.

In an effort to open academic alternatives to students, a course dubbed L.A. 460 is being offered to allow the un dergraduate an opportunity to work with faculty members in a teaching orresearch capacity and receive academic credit. According to Arthur Lewis, associate dean of resident in struction and coordinator of L.A. 460 "The program was formed by a joint student-faculty committee in an attempt to get students and faculty closer together." Lewis said, "If a student shows interest in a specific subject and has enough initiative to convince the professor of this interest, an internship can be arranged." A candidate for internship must petition his adviser, the instructor, the department head, the dean of the student's college, and Lewis. A written report of what the student hopes to accomplish is required. Approval must be obtained before registration. If approval is granted, the student earns three credits for the course and receives a grade. Grades usually are high, although some failures have occurred when the student did not live up to his role, Lewis said. Any undergraduate is eligible for the course and par ticipation is not limited to liberal arts departments. Students have worked with professors in the colleges of Human Development, Science and Education. Last term 18 un dergraduates participated in the course. Lewis said, "What the student does depends on the in dividual instructor. Most work is tailor-made for the un dergrad and can range from editing a professional journal to just being available to help other undergrads experiencing trouble in the •course. "The student submits a report of his work at the•end of the term.

For example, it is highly unlikely an intern would grade a subjective test taken by other un dergrads," Lewis said. "The purpose of the course is twofold. It allows a professor to concern himself with duties he couldn't do otherwise and gives the student needed experience. Many students decide to attend graduate school after taking the course." Some teachers have employed undergraduates on their own, by-passing the 460 course. Gregory C. Kriight, assistant professor of geography, has instituted an internship program in Geography 19. Knight uses undergraduates who have taken the course before, received A's and been recommended by graduate assistants. The duties of Knight's interns include: serving as a mediator between the professor and the students, par ticipating in weekly seminars to discuss problems of the course, holding reviews for tests, tutoring students and preparing formal laboratories. There are nine interns in Knight's class. Six are attached to discussion groups, two associated with an elementary school program and one assigned to evaluating the overall course. Lucille Baldacchino, an intern for the course, sees herself as an outlet for student opinions. According to Baldacchino, "Students who are reluctant to make complaints to the professor will talk to me, and I can inforth Dr. Knight." She also said, "The internship helps me in my major, secondary education. I can see what it is like to teach people and realize the frustration of not getting a point across." Knight said, "The internship program is a positive con tribution to the course. It increases the feedback resources available to me and increases student input in the course curriculum. The only drawback is it is more work for the instructor, though this is compensated by improvement of the course." reported a rock thrown through the window of 116 Arts Building during the weekend.
