University Art Display Sparks Protest
Artist Larry Fink's The Forbidden Pictures: A Political Tableau, on display in DuBois Gallery in Maginnes Hall, continues to stir debate. A leading paper in London has now picked up the story. Fink believes that the 2000 election was stolen and referred to the Bush administration as our current fraudulent leaders. College Republicans are 'outraged' and are asking for the exhibit to be relocated. The exhibit's curator, Ricardo Viera, makes no apologies, saying it is meant to promote discussion. Universities are a forum for diverse ideas and intellectual challenges, he said. Andrew Stanten, Director of University Communications, similarly defended the exhibit when he told Talon News, The display of Larry Fink's art is not intended to be an endorsement of any particular viewpoints. We believe the University's role is to deliberately expose students to differing points of view. Art like this prompts discussion, inspires, and engages.

Tied at 53 after regulation, Rowland took matters into his own hands. After corralling the opening tip of the extra period, Rowland confidently jogged the ball up court and immediately drilled a three-point bomb from the top of the key. I don't know, he (American University guard Andres Rodriquez) backed off a little, and I was just feeling it, Rowland said, explaining his first shot in OT.

The artist known as ''the teacher of hip-hop,'' Kris ''KRS-One'' Parker, wanted to set the record straight during his lecture at Lehigh. ''Rap is not the same as hip-hop,'' the platinum hip-hop artist said to more than 200 students Thursday night. Stephan Coggs, assistant dean of students at Lehigh, said Parker was invited because ''we felt he would have some value for our college students in terms of hip-hop and culture and how it relates to American society…He is a voice that should be heard.
