A special display featuring a newly
acquired bronze sculpture by Joel Sha
piro starts today at the Sheldon Art
Gallery.
Shapiro, a New York artist, known
for his small "wood-block" figures, is
considered one of the most important
contemporary sculptors working in
America today. His work deals with the
manipulation of scale emphasized by
their placement on the floor, which
draws the viewer into an artificial
space created by its intimacy.
Sheldon Director George Neubert
said, "This acquisition is important,
timely and adds significantly to Shel
don's ever-increasing collection of 20th
century sculpture."
The display ends Feb. 16.
Also included in this exhibition is
work from American artist Walt Kuhn,
Italian artist Marino Marini, and two
British artists, Henry Moore and Eliza
beth Frink.
A total of 28 pieces complement the
show, some new.
The sculptures vary in media, such
as stone, bronze, steel and wood.
Shapiro's piece is the main attrac
tion, placed only on a piece of white
wood. Made of solid bronze and cover
ing only one square foot in area, it
weights about 50 pounds. This figure
costs an estimated $30,000, and will be
a permanent addition to the gallery.

would like to do something, often over
looked by most people at year's end,
and list my greatest personal accomp
lishments of 1985.
People are always telling me, "Stew,
quit being so negative about every
thing." These people, friends and rela
tives mostly, are convinced that I have
nothing good to say about myself. So I
sat down and listed my greatest
accomplishments of 1985. 1 think eve
ryone should try writing down the good
things they achieved during the past
year. I did and I actually felt better
about myself for 20 minutes.
My Great Accomplishments During
1985:
I once solved the puzzle, "Ter
rycloth bathtowel," on The Wheel of
Fortune, with only three letters ex
posed,
I resolve not to do anything just
because I feel that I should. For exam
ple, I won't buy items at the grocery
store just because I think they might
be healthy. No more dark bread, car
rots, anything that claims that it's nat
ural or anything resembling the color
green. Besides, it is a nutritional fact
that all the nutrients that the body
needs are found in pizza rolls, Tostitos
and Coke.
Also, I won't buy albums just because
I think they should be in my collection.
I love buying Harry Belefonte and Par
tridge Family albums, but I just don't
play them enough to justify spending
all that money.
inally, here are my predictions for
the upcoming year. These predic

if McDonald's food really tastes the
same all over the world. I visited 15
different McDonald's in seven different
countries and found out that, yes, the
food all tastes the same, except some
of the restaurants do not have some of
the finer items on the menu, like
McRibs and Egg McMuffins.
I finally quit watching Channel
1011 news. I decided ignorance on
local issues was preferable to watching
Mel Mains, Linda Beermann and the
rest of "Nebraska's News Trust."
I went to my first political rally. I
even held up a sign that read, "Sane-
surd guesses. This is, after all, an
absurd world we live in. And believe it
or not, one of the absurd guesses I
made several weeks ago actually came
true. I predicted that some Texans
would pay thousands of dollars just to
possess Moammar Khadafy's nose. Ab
surd isn't it? So watch out, I'm on a roll.
Predictions for 1986:
The long arm of Israel will strike
again when it conducts an air raid on
Stapleton. The tiny Western Nebraska
town will be leveled because of a mix
up in Army intelligence. Israel will of
