Although 15 sculptures make up the
sculpture garden outside of Sheldon Art
Gallery on the UNL campus, more than
half of the students surveyed recently
could not describe any of them.
Members of a journalism class asked
200 students on campus to describe their
favorite sculpture. Only 47 percent
managed to describe at least one, and only
22 percent could describe two or more.
"I can't think of any I really know"
and "I haven't been by there in years"
were common responses.
Of the o people who could describe
any of the sculptures, 17 picked "Sandy in
Defined Space" as their favorite.
"Sandy in Defined Space" is a figure of
a woman tucked in a frame. The bron.e
sculpture by Richard Miller was purchased
by Sheldon in ll)72. said Jane Anderson,
the musem's director of education and
extension services.
To Susan ti His. a junior political science,
economics and art history major, "Sandy"
represents "what society does to
individuals by enclosing them into arti
ficial stereotypes."
Michael Zangari, a senior journalism.
English and history major, described
"Sandy" as "a woman in a tube" and
found the concept of a woman's confine
ment interesting.
"Pieta" was the favorite sculpture of
15 people. Kirk Norman, a junior in
Teacher's College described it as a little
girl crying on her dead grandpa's lap.
The bronze sculpture by Bruno Lucchesi
was purchased in 1972. Anderson said.
Curtis Watkins, a junior art major, said
he liked "Pieta" because of its craftsman
ship and realism.
"The body really looks dead and the
girl's body looks limp from crying,"
Watkins said.
"Floating Figure," a sculpture of a ro
bust woman sitting in the center of a
fountain, was the favorite of 14 people
Anderson said the brone sculpture was
purchased in 1969.
Mary Bender, a senior interior design
major, described it as "naked, voluptuous
and lying on her side."
Other sculptures described were "Super
structure on Four," a silver bird-like figure
and "Ulysses," a black-and-yellow oblong
shape.
"I like it ("Superstructure") because I
know what it is. I mean, I know what I
like to think it is," David Blenderman.
a freshman physics major, said. He said
he thought it looked like a rooster.
"Ulysses" looked like "a Shell No
Pest strip" to Tracy Berry, a sophomore
English major, and "like a child's toy"
to Kevin Eaton.
Eat on, a junior art and advertising maor
could describe 1 of the 15 sculptures.
He rated the collection as "good, tor
Nebraska." but said people here are tradi
tional and not open to new things.
More than a third of those questioned
did not give the sculpture garden an over
all rating, mostly because they did not
know what the sculptures looked like.
Of the 121 who rated the collection
overall, 61 percent said it was "good."
It received an "excellent" rating from 10
percent, while 21 percent said it was "lair"
and 7 percent said it was "poor." One
woman rated the collection as "terrible."
Bob Peterson, a freshman physics major,
said he thought the sculptures were "bor
ing" and "cheapen art like Muzak cheapens
music."
Brett VanVuren, on the other hand,
agreed with the other 73 who thought
the sculpture garden was good.
"It's nice and peaceful, and pretty at
night when Sheldon's lit up," the sopho
more music major said.
w
ind power is researched
i eh r1
uinl researciiers are
looking for ways to turn
wind power into energy for
Nebraska agriculture.
C. Wayne Martin of the
UNL College of Engineering
and Technology currently is
Salel
From a collection of designers
which include Calvin Klein, Sasson,
Jordache, Zodiac, Frye, Bass,
Pierre Cardin and many more.
Special Prices On The Entire Collection Of:
designing low-cost wind tur
bines. A wind turbine is a
modern version of the wind
mill and charger once com
mon on many Nebraska
farms.
Martin said, "It will take
a lot of wind turbines to
make a significant contri
bution to the state's energy
needs," but he also believes
"there's plenty of room for
them in Nebraska."
The wind could provide
power for a number of func
tions. Martin said, from
home heating and refrigera
tion to other endeavors,
such as fertilizer produc
tion .
One drawback to wind
systems is the expense, Mai
tin said. But wind-generated
power becomes mure eco
nomical when it is used to
operate more than one piece
of equipment. This also is a
practical solution to dealinu
with the variable quantity
of power produced by a tur
bine. A good wind energy
system might include a
primary user of power, like
irrigation equipment, and a
secondary user that could
be activated when the tur
bine produces more power
than the irrigation equip
ment needs.
Martin said he thinks a
nitrogen generator, which
currently operates at the
NU Agricultural Engineeimg
Research Laboratory in
Mead, would be beneficial
to the system.
The generator uses a tpe
ol "controlled lightning to
use Mother Nature's process
ot producing nitrogen tiom
the air." said William
Splinter, head of the M
Agricultural Engineering De
partment .
