Art
Stolen
From
EUC
By MARION ROBERSON
Newi Editor
An 18 x 24 pen and pencil
drawing of Jimi Hendrix was stolen
from Elliott University Center
Monday night between 9:00 pm and
10:00 pm. The drawing, done by
Paul Roseboro of A ft T State
University, was a part of the Neo-
Black Society's Black Arts Festival.
Employees of Elliott Center
noticed that the painting was gone
and notified campus security.
Robert Williams was working at the
old EUC desk and saw that the pic-ture
was missing, according to
Security Director, Jerry William-son.
Even though it is hard to put a
value on a piece of art, especially
when it is not for sale, the drawing
was valued at approximately $300.
As far as insurance coverage, the
Elliott Center is not held liable for
any art work. "We have some in-surance
but we can not be held
liable," explained Terry Weaver,
from the Office of Student
Development. "People are aware
of this; they know that we keep our
eyes open to everything."
"We need to do something, but
we can't buy the painting," ex-plained
Weaver. "Among the net-work
of students maybe they will
find it."
Because of this theft, the exhibit
was taken down one day earner.
The artists ware afraid tot the
remaining pieces of art and the staff
was scared that something else
might happen.
According to Ms. Weaver, the
staff were watching and patrolling
the area and there is not much more
that can be done on their part.
Along with the Jimi Hendrix
drawing, a small print by Ernest
Ivey of UNC-O was stolen from
Elliott Center. A toboggan was
stolen from a sculpture, also in the
Center. A television was also stolen
from EUC.
"It's terrible that we can't have
something nice here for the studen-ts,"
said Weaver. "For the past
three or four years a painting hung
in front of the stair well and before
Christmas it was stolen."
"As a rule, you don't have this
happen. It comes in spurts. Plants
put in Elliott by landscape artists
have even disappeared. Everything
we have belongs to the university
and the community. We're limited
in what we have but we encourage
others to be aware."
Another art exhibit will be
featured in EUC February IS
through March 1 The Regional
Scholastic Art Awards encourages
student achievement in creative art.
Conducted by Scholastic Incor-porated,
"it has become an in-stitution
in the high school world.
Varied classifications cover the
fields of painting, drawing, print
making, design, three-dimensional
art, and photography."
Some of the art work will be
displayed in the Weatherspoon
Gallery.

Phillips dorm was the site of a piz-za
heist last week. A sixteen-year-old
employee of Pizza Transit
Authority, carrying two pizzas and
a coca-cola rack, was attacked by
two UNC-G students. "They held
his arms, took the food and ran
around the dorm," said Director of
Campus Security, Jerry Williamson.
"The empty boxes were found on
the third floor stairwall."
Sergeant Doug Shores, was the
investigating officer. The victim
described the two perpetrators and
they confessed to what seemed to be
a prank.
But at the time they did not
realize that the prank was a crime, a
felony. Technically, the crime was a

strong-armed robbery. "When you
physically take something from
somebody--that's a robbery-punishable
by ten years in prison,"
explained Williamson.
"I went to the Pizza Transit
Authority and explained that the
boys had been caught. If charges
were to be brought against the
students they could have been taken
to UNC-G's court," continued
Williamson.
"There" were options-either go to
the city courts, or handle them at
UNC-G's court," said Williamson.
After discussing the options with the
victim's parents and the people at
PTA, they decided to have the
hearing on campus.
The two Phillips residents were
charged with strong-arm robbery,
and face an Administrative hearing
Board. The sentences range from
reprimand to expulsion.
Commented Williamson, "We've
never had a strong-armed robbery
case before, so I don't know what to
expect."

Tuesday, February 10, the UNC-G
Senate met with their main topic
of discussion being the upcoming
Spring Fling weekend (April 9-12).
The subject of how many kegs of
beer to purchase for Spring Fling
was discussed. Last year, 60 kegs of
beer were purchased, which ran out
before Spring Fling was over. The
Senate voted to order 70 kegs for the
weekend this year, in hopes of not
running out.
The keg> will be bought from
Schlitz Brewery at $35 each, coming
to a total cost of $2450 for the beer.
This coat can be compared to the
purchase of 30 canisters of soft
drinks at $10each.
Law prohibits Schlitz from
lowering the coat of the kegs for
UNC-G, but in addition to the beer,
Schlitz will be paying for one band
and supplying prize materials (i.e.
jackets, tee-shirts, and frisbees) for
the Schlitz Blitz Competition
Games.
Schlitz also wanted to advertise
on the back of the Spring Fling tee-shirts
with their popular "Go For
It" logo. Printing this design would
cost an additional thirty cents per
shirt but Schlitz offered to subsidize
each shirt for fifty cents. Therefore,
UNC-G could make a profit of
twenty cents per shirt sold; for $200
if all one thousand ordered are sold.
There was considerable argument
for and against printing the logo on
the shirts but the Senate voted
against the Schlitz design. The
popular argument against printing
the design was the fact that Spring
Fling is a UNC-G event and the tee-shirts
are representative of that.
The theme for this year's Spring
Fling is "Going Down for the Third
Time: Get Leied." Commented
Senate President Mark Newton
about the theme, "It's deep,
cosmic, very cosmic."
