SM H Jason Schoener to Be On Camp us Oct. 16,17 BRvy/ Hazel ILafleur An exhibition of paintings by Jason Schoener will be on display in the Gallery of Anne Arundel Hall beginning September 30th. In the words of Laurence Schmeckebier, former dean of the School of Art at Syracuse University, “Schoener’s ideas are simple, straightforward, poetic and profound”. The artist has spent his last fifteen years painting on the surf-beaten shores of Maine and in the alternating fog and sun of the rugged California Coast. Last year it was the rockboundAegean with its brilliant and trasparent color. “ The character and environment of these areas,” writes Schmeckebier, “ are c o n s is te n tly revealed in Schoener’s work in seemingly effortless expression with sensitive and luminous color built into a solid structural form.” Schoener, in regard to his T h e G r e a t H o l ly L iv e s By Patty O'Brien On February 26, 1975, the Great Holly Tree in front of the Student Union was revitalized. This giant evergreen, officially recognized as the champion of its species in Maryland has been standing since native Yaocomico Indians occupied the area. After four and one half centuries, the tree was in need of considerable “medical” attention. Last winter, when a team of men arrived from Guardian Tree Experts, Inc., Rockville, Md., the tree underwent major “surgery.” The operation, conducted by L a r r y W in te rm e y e r , Jim McDonald and Robert Hollis consisted of trimming, bracing, cabling (branches were braced with 14 ” cable), and feeding. The feeding in February involved spikes of compressed nitrogen and phosphates dropped" into holes drilled around the root system. In April, the Guardian team returned to give the holly an additional food treatment. An enormous hypodermic needle was inserted into the cambium layer and liquid food was injected to boost growth and fight insects and decay. The operation a success, the Great Holly stands proudly with a circumference of 12 feet, 1 inch, height of 51 feet and branch spread of 45 feet. The tree is healthy and under normal conditions shouldn’t require aother medical treatment for three or four years. paintings, wrote, “I want to convey what I feel about nature and beauty. I love beauty which to me is a positive concept and exists in nature. Nature patterns itself into correct order, arrangement and form, in the broadest vistas and in the most delicate detail . . . Through a process of changing, shifting and sorting of the visual elements, I attempt to recreate the subject and intensify my feelings about it.’. Born in Cleveland, Schoener studied at the Cleveland Institute o f A r t , Western Reserve University the Art StudentsLeague, and received his M. A. from Teachers College. He is presently Professor and chairman of the Fine Arts Department of the California College of Arts and Crafts. His work is represented in many public and private collections. Jason Schoener will be on Campus October 16th and 17th as a visiting artist at which time he will demonstrate his technique of painting with gouache, an opaque watercolor medium. He will speak in the gallery located in Anne Arundal Hall both evenings at 8:00 p.m.The general public is invited.

Berko fsky Joins SMC Music By Lisa Middleton Music is a part of everyone’s life whether an unconscious toe ta p p e r or a d e d ic a te d f i nger-snapper. To Martin Berkofsky, who has joined the Music Department faculty at SMC this fall, music is his life. Berkofsky began to study music at age six from which time his list of credits continues to lengthen. He received his B.A. and Master’s of Music degrees at the P e ab o d y Conservatory in B a ltim o r e wh e re before graduation he had already received several honors including the Zaidee T. Thomas and Alexander Sklorevski Awards. Television recitals in Washington and Baltimore and New York, winning a National Music League Young Artist Audition in New York,where he signed a five year management contract with the National Music League, are only a few of his accomplishments. Berkofsky spent a year on the Memphis State University music faculty and a semester at the University of Maryland as a visiting lecturer. More recently he was appointed Artist in Residence at the Alfred University in New York and followed this with a season of personal performances topped by the Town Hall Debut Recital in New York. Berkofsky participated in the Marlboro Music Festival this summer and has begun the second year of a N a t io n a l M u s ic League sponsorship. His talents have taken him to Austria where being awarded a Fulbright Scholarship in 1966, he studied at the Vienna Academy with noted teacher Richard Hauser and at the Institute fur Neue Musik with Hans Kann in Vienna and Darmstadt. Berkofsky toured Austria under the auspices of the U. S. Information Agency, and broadcast on Icelandic State Radio. He also has been a prize winner at the Casella International Piano Competition in Naples, Italy and received grants from the National Endowments of the Arts Gramma-Fisher Foundation, and Mary Duke Biddle Foundation. Ahead of Martin Berkofsky th is y e a r are p e rso n a l performances with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and the National Gallery Orchestra of Washington. He will be recording the complete Brandenburg Concerti arranged for Piano-four hands for the Musical Heritage Society, and a proposed television documentary film on the discovery of the BruchConcerto. We are indeed fortunate to have such a distinguished man on the Music faculty of SMC. Bob Levy’s Sonata Released Robert Levy just received word from New York composer Paul Turok that G. Schirmer Music Publishing Company has released “Toccata, Op. 39A” for trumpet and piano. The newly published work serves as the first movement of Trumpet Sonata, Op. 39.
