Jim Cotter, a professional silversmith from Vail, Colo., works on a wax
cast for a ring, Wednesday in the Nebraska Union.
Whal does a home vacuum cleaner have
to do with setting up a casting system to ;
make jewelry? According to the "Silver
smith of Vail" the vacuum cleaner plays an
important part in making such a system
inexpensive. k
Jim Cotter, a professional silversmith .
from Vail, Colo, will conduct a workshop
today from noon to 4 p jn. in room 105 at
Richards Hall. At the workshop he will
demonstrate how to set up the casting
system for about $25 using a vacuum
cleaner. v "
The workshop is part of a two-day
demonstration by Cotter sponsored by the
Nebraska Union Programming Council's
Visual Arts Committee. Cotter demon
strated various techniques of making
molds for rings Wednesday in the Union.
Cotter operates a retail silver shop in
Vail and teaches at Colorado Mountain
College during the summer. He said most
of his demonstrations are done on college
campuses because that is where most of the
in terest is.
Cotter said he became interested in sil
versmithing while attending Wayne State
College. He said Wayne had no silversmith
program and everything he knows he had
to teach himself. He said his work consists
of taking metal and Changing it into art
-objects.
Specializing in custom designed jewelry
Cotter said he works a lot with diamonds
and rubys. He said the jewelry in his shop,
ranges in price from $15 to $1,000 depend-
ing on the stones and amount of work put
into the piece. .
Cotter, who does not wear jewelry him
self, says right now he is really into "Farm
art" which he described as jewelry that
deals with some aspect of farm life. ,
The university does not have a program
in jewelry making and Cotter, along with
several observers, think that there is
enough interest here to warrant one.
There is no charge for today's work
shop and it is open to all interested.
Bi-weekly editions
inority paper planned
UNL Minority students will begin
publishing a bi-weekly newsletter Friday.
The newsletter, called "Huh?", will
carry news items, announcements and
editorials relating to the minority
community at UNL.
Jimmi Smith, director of the Office of
Minority 'Affairs, said the newsletter has
been under discussion for quite some time
and students now are ready to begin work
on it. .
Six students on the work-study pro
gram, assisted by a volunteer editor and a
volunteer coordinator will assemble the
newsletter.
Leanette Logan, coordinator, said she
hopes the newsletter will provide some
formal means of communication among
minority students.
"Minority students at UNL have not
received the proper type of coverage from
the university's majority student news
paper," she said. "Many things minority
students need to know will be included in
the Huh?."
Logan, a black senior, recalled that
several years ago black students started a
newspaper called the "Congo Call" that
folded because of financial difficulties.
She said she hopes the newsletter even
tually will develop into another newspaper.
Smith said his office will provide the
necessary office space and machinery to
operate the newsletter. He said the various
minority student organizations will be
responsible for providing paper, stencils
and ink, as well as news items.
Logan said the only problem they have
encountered is that some minority students
are not registered with the Office of
Minority Affiars and may not receive the
newsletter. She urged all minority students
who do not receive the first edition of
"Huh?" to drop by the office- and leave
their name and address.
