We are frantically trying to get all the artwork done and begining some of the animation. This video on our facebook page will give you an idea about the look that our final work will have. Thanks Jed for making it happen.

"Faces, Spaces, Things" is the theme of an art show on USAO's campus next Friday. Art major Sylvia Ferrell will exhibit her art­work in the Davis Hall Gallery from 7-9 p.m.

Ferrell will graduate from USAO next spring with a bache­lor's degree in art. As part of her graduation requirements, Ferrell is coordinating and presenting this exhibit.

After gaining a business degree in 1961, Ferrell went on to earn her Registered Nurse license in 1974. Beginning in 1985, Ferrell started working toward an art de­gree at USAO.

Under a new interpretation of the guidelines, students may take a class in basic or advanced acting to fill the requirement, he said.

Representing the presidents of 18 Oklahoma colleges and uni­versities, USAO President Roy Troutt last week urged the Okla­homa State Regents for Higher Edu­cation to rethink their new method of allocating state funds.  Most college presidents were "surprised, disappointed, frustrated and concerned" over new funding levels, Troutt said.
