TRANSCRIPT
An exciting new exhibition
entitled Patterns is
currently open at TheFranklin Institute Science
Museum 20th and the
Parkway Philadelphia PA on
June 11 and will be featured
thru January 1982
Hundreds of artifacts
musical scores reproductions
of paintings and drawingshands-on deves for visitor
experimentation and computerterminals will be employed to
ilhsirate the exhibits theme --
Patterns are everywhere Theexhibit explores the diverse
Connections betweenmathematics and the arts by
examining some basic
mathematical concepts which
rWz1r v__-mathematicians and artists talk
about the same thing -- but in
different languages
Both the artist andmathematician frequently tryto represent patterns in the
universe the mathematician
drives for the most abstract
conception while the artist
communicates in concrete
images
There is lot of
mathematics that they dontteach you in school that is
simple and intuitive explainsDaniel Goldwaterdirector Programs and
Education and often artists
discover andexpress it on
their ownMuch of the mathematics in
Patterns is familiar But
there will be less familiar
experiences too Visitors will
be able to use computers to
recreate painting byEllsworth Kelley that used
random numbers in its
composition create their ownattractive symmetry patterns
compose simple music or find
out how serialist Composersused mathematics in their
work
In addition to the manycomputer programsPatterns offers 12
experimental stations for
visitors of all ages Music that
baa mathematical basis will
be presented as well as
resource center stocked with
magazine articles bookstapes with COmmentary the
mathematics of musical scales
ising Mozart composition and
mach more
The exhibition is divkled
into four main sections --
Symmetry Perspective
Geometry and Numbers --
each providing different
exposure to the relationship
between math and the arts
In the Symmetry section
for example visitors will have
an opportunity to experience
mathematical symmetrythrough experiments with
kalcidescopes that allow them
to make their own vivid
luminous patterns and to see
how these same patterns have
appeared in various art
traditions from Islamic tiling
to American quilts Visitors
will also be encouraged to
explore what mathematicians
call symmetry operationsand what artists have been
exreuing in bLdh oonorpt
and visual forms since before
Egyptian times
Through an assortment of
hands-on devices the
Perspective area offers visitors
chance to make
perspective drawing onCamera Obscura to take homeas souvenir
Patterns delves into basic
geometry -- such as the fact
that light travels in straight
line and then illuminates
how this simple concept has
been used or ignored often
deliberately by artists in their
attempts to represent the real
world

concerts

ALA American LanguageAcademy School whose
purpose itisto teach foreignstudents English
Because majorobjective of campusnewspaper is to serve as
forum for the debate of
campus and current isaues the
Beaver News will make
every effort to publish
promptly letters to the editor
Priority will be given to
letters which are written
by students or employees of
the college or written by
outsiders but address issues
that directly concern the
college
There are not limitations
on the subject matter of
letters However priority will
be given to letters dealing
with current events and
campus developments
The editor will use
hiWher discretion in publishing
mimeographed or mass
produced letter submitted byoutsiders
It is preferred that letters
be oriented to issues as
opposed to personalities
Priority also will be given
to letters that are critical of
the name of paper or that
are written in direct reply to
an editorial or news story
When necessary the
newspaper will print short
editors note with letter The
overriding purpose should be
to make the letter more
understandable to the reader
and to clarify the facts
If the editor wishes to
answer letter with detailed
rebuttal the editor should do
so in an editorial which is
published the issue following
the letter
Letters should be typed
double-spaced and no morethan 300 words in length If
letter is too long the author
will be contacted andasked to edit the letter to the
proper length
10 The editor has the right
to reject letters that border on
being libelous obscene or in
extreme poor taste
11 The newspaper will not
alter the wording or meaning
of letter However it
reserves the right to correct
spelling punctuation and
grammar and to edit the letter
according to news style
12 The newspaper reserves
the right to refuse letters
written in bizarre style or in
foreign language
13 Letters should be signed
and the authorship known to
the editors However if the
writer wishes and the editor
agrees the writers name will
be left off the letter upon
publication and an inscription
inserted such as namewithheld at the request of the
writer or name on file at the
newspaper office
14 The editors will confirmi
the authorship ofall published
letters
15 There will be instances
when the paper will not have
space to print all letters it
receives Letters should be
selected to achieve diversity
Lesstimely letters will be
discarded or published when
space permits
When the newspaperreceives large number of
letters on one subject or
stating the same position
space limitations will permit
publication of few
representative letters Aneditors note could indicate
the number and authors of
similar letters that werereceived
17 Letters will be
displayed attractivelyHeadlines may be placedabove letters to give them
prominence However such
headlines should not commenton the letter
sarcastically
Editors may want to insert
some art work with letters
possibly photograph or pen-and-ink sketch The purposeof art work is to focus
attention on the letters
section
18 The letters section
should serve readers of the
newspaper Staff members
wishing to editorialize should
do so in special column-not
letter
19 The editor has the
prerogative to use letter as
the basis for news story At
such times it may not be
necessary to publish the
original letter
20 Editors have the final
authority to determine which
and how many letters to
publish

parents pick up the tab
And in late night
emergency there are soda
machines in every dorm For

tired brain waves with
Mountain Dew
You know theres an old
wives tale that says you gain
weight at college Just let me
say that forewarned is
forearmed
