Dean McSharrys comment offends

Asian undergradsTo the Editor:

I hr paat why trata studtsrepresent a disproportionately high number o aca-dm d ats brught br th AadmCode Committee in last Wednesdays article (U.explains academic code to intl students, Sept. 21)Kathleen McSharry, associate dean or writing anddean or issues o chemical dependencies, said, Insome Asian cultures today, being a good student meansbasically reproducing what authorities have said aboutthgs wthut assumg t assrt yur w pabut t.

As Asian students rom Singapore and Hong Kongstudying at Brown, we nd this remark to be deeply o-

ensive. Perhaps McSharry could clariy exactly whichAsa uturs ths ar. Sh ud a s shar wth

us what udrstadg sh has th maydierent education systems in Asia in order to qualiyhr t mak suh a swpg statmt. I addt,w that hr statmt y urthrs gat st-reotypes o Asian students and harms the standing oAsa studts th ys th Brw mmuty.

It s t t muh a strth t say that Brw,with its 9 percent acceptance rate, accepts only goodstudts rm ts p appats. Gg by M-Sharrys rasg, ths mght ma that stu-dts rm sm Asa uturs ar hr at Brwonly because they have succeeded in reproducingwhat authorities have said about things without as-sumg t assrt (thr) w p abut t.

Abstract expressionism, pop art,geometric abstraction and photore-alism all have a place at the RhodeIsland School o Design Museumsnew exhibition, Made in the UK:Contemporary Art rom Te Rich-ard Brown Baker Collection. Teexhibition, which opened Sept. 23ad rus thrugh Ja. , aturswrks by Brtsh artsts.

Filling two galleries o themuseum, the exhibition eatures

a variety o art orms, includingpaintings, prints, drawings andsculptures the majority o whichare rom the post-World War IIra.

Some o the pieces are beingshown to the public or the rsttime, said Judith annenbaum, oneo the collections curators. Abouthal o the exhibition consists oartwork collected by RichardBrown Baker himsel, while themuseum purchased the other halusg uds Bakr datd.

T hbt has a rurrglandscape moti, including JohnParks Camden own, which

could be mistaken or a photo-graph rm aar. T 0 pat-ing depicts, in exacting detail andcolor, the London neighborhoodo Camden, refecting the paintersss hmskss.

Vibrant colors radiate through-out the collections galleries, in-cluding om Dixons unctionalbright orange Chair and Un-ttd, a rga, ppr suatconstruction by Roger Hirons ina brght bu hu.

Tere is a cross-cultural con-nection and sense o change inthe two galleries. Te numerous

artists, though they all have a con-nection to Britain, come rom vari-us bakgruds udg Ng-

ria and Japan, and their artworkrfts ths drsty.

annenbaum called Made inth UK a prtrat th -tr as w as a brad amp tmprary Brtsh art.

Baker, a longtime resident oNew York, was born in Providenceand served as a member o the Mu-seums Fine Arts Committee rom66 t 2000, sh sad.

He lived in Britain duringWrd War II as a Rhds Sh-ar ad atr datd a substataprt hs t t RISD,considering the move a gesture toEgad ad t (hs) at ty,ardg t a musum prss r-as.

One o the rst pieces in Bakersart collection, a watercolor by 19thcentury landscape artist J.M.W.

urner, is on display. annenbaumdescribed the work as fuid, openand airy, adding that Baker saw a

connection between this piece andthe work o abstract expressionistartists, which he later began col-tg.

Bakr rqutd art shws New York and tended to buy pieces

rm fdgg tmprary art-sts, abaum sad.

Mad th UK prsts aeclectic mix that draws its inspira-tion rom Bakers varied interests,with art ranging rom metal piecesthat look like heating grates to ap mmtg th r the British royal amily. Its di-
