International Education (IIE) and supported by the Freeman
Foundation, is to increase the number of American undergradu- ates
who study in East and Southeast Asia. Awardees will be expected to
share their experiences with their home campus, to encourage study
abroad by others and to spread understanding of Asia in their home
communities. Application deadline for summer 2005 is March 4.

Anyone who works near the Library/Administration Building knows
that the rain didn’t seem to slow work on the new elevator. Jack
hammering was readily apparent on Wednesday. The new elevator
starts on the ground level outside the building. However, because
of the overhang, it will actually come inside the existing building
on the third and fourth floors. Thus, part of the existing cement
roof/floor will be removed to create the new elevator shaft.
Drilled caissons — which are similar to piles, except they’re much
quieter to place — are being installed below the Central Plant and
Student Activities Center as the renovation in that area
continues.
Work is also progressing on the Library/Learning Resource Center.
Placement of steel to support the sculp- ture in the rotunda is
complete and the spiral staircase was also scheduled to take place
this week. With the struc- tural work essentially completed, we’ll
begin to see the enclosure of the building this semester.

Opening Reception for “Illustrious” Art Exhibit on February 2 The
Fine Arts Gallery is pleased to present
“Illustrious,” a group exhibition of paintings, draw- ings, and
sculpture by working illustrators. The exhi- bition features
eighteen illustrators from throughout the United States.
Illustrators include George Abe, Robert Bellm, Thomas Baxa, Sean
Christopher, Raúl Colón, Tamara Guion, Adam James, James Jean, Don
Kilpatrick, Cindy Kim, Janice Lowery, Laurel Long, Bryan
Mandronico, Jeff Soto, Alice Tippit, Edwin Ushiro, Brad Weinman and
Patrick Williams.
“Illustrious” not only focuses on current trends in contemporary
illustration, as seen in Juxtapose Magazine, but also encompasses
the vast range of illus- tration published today. This
all-encompassing exhibi-
tion features work ranging from Thomas Baxa’s beau- tifully
rendered Dungeons and Dragon’s style oils to Patrick William’s
boldly whimsical characters to Janice Lawry’s Joseph Cornell-style
assemblages. Illustrious demonstrates that the illustrator’s
practice is open to limitless content and style.
An opening reception for the exhibition will be held on Wednesday,
February 2, from 7 to 9 p.m., in the Art Gallery. “Illustrious”
will be on exhibit through February 28. Gallery hours are as
follows: Monday- Thursday 10 a.m.-2 p.m.; Tuesday-Wednesday, 6-8
