Gallery practice in recent years
has been to hold one major show
per month when possible. Exhibi-
tions have been drawn from a wide
variety of sources, including displays
from the Smithsonian Institute, the
American -Federation of the Arts,
and the Illinois Arts' Council. Other
showings originate from private col-
)edions and the works of individual
artists.

A new twist may be soon seen in
the Gallery. A proposal is currently
wider study for the addition of a
sales and rental addition to the Gal-
lery. "This will give an opportunity
to make art work available to the
public on a sale and rental basis,
which is something we have never
really been able to do before," said
Buffington. Plans call for this por-
tion of the Gallery to be ready ..by
December.

The Sargent Gallery, which is lo-
cated in Old Main, is open to the
imblic from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. daily
except Saturday. Gallery hours on
Sunday are 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Sculpture of various kinds and styles is often displayed in the
Gallery along with other types of art such as iewelry, painting, drawing
and ceramics.

A striking pattern of geometric
design was apparent in this quilt
on display in the Gallery during
the quilt exhibition. Craft products
like this require extreme skill and
untold hours of patient, ex-acting
work to complete.

Panther Cage team as there will be Brooks Thomas
duplicating last season's successful
20-8 record and NCAA tournament

Coach Don Eddy lost three start-

Bev Mitchell) from the Panthers
best effort in twenty years. Yet re-
turning are several lettermen, led by
Brad Warble (LaGrange Lyons),
a couple of solid transfers, and some
freshmen who may do more than
watch during their initial season.

Warble, a 6-6 swingman, will be
a four-year starter. If Brad continues
to progress as he has the past three
winters, then he might have pro
possibilities.

"Brad came in as an unheralded
freshman, but one with a lot of tal-
ent and a great desire to improve his
game. That more than anything else
has contributed to his constant im-
provement," Eddy said.

He has climbed ,from a first year
start of 3.5 points and 3.5 rebounds
to 7.7 points and 5.6 rebounds his
sophomore season to 12.4 points and
eight rebounds last years.

While it's a certainty Warble will
st~rt, there is some question as to
where. Eddy experimented briefly
by putting Brad as guard last year.
With a full pre-season practice
under his belt, Warble could possibly
make the transition if enough front-

AConversation With Mike Mullally

Only the 4th athletic director in the history of the
University, Mike Mullally assumed duties in August,
1974. He came here from the University of Oklahoma
where he served in a variety of capacities with the
Alumni Association and Athletic Department over the
past nine years.

His last position at Oklahoma was Co-ordinator of
the Stadium Expansion Project, directing staff efforts
to generate money for a 9600 seat expansion of Mem-
orial Stadium.

A graduate of the University of South Dakota,
Mullally obtained a master's degree from that institu-
tion and has completed course work for a doctorate at
Oklahoma. He and his wife, Carole, have three children,
Heidi, Edward and Matt.

the country, we are being hurt by inflation. · So we funds . What method of" support will we rely most

heavily upon in the future?
gram that will be successful and entertaining to stu-
MM: Naturally we have to attempt to survive on
what students allocate but as I've said we will have to
supplement this with outside revenue. Also, I would
feel oetter if the department could generate more
money. It is not fair to the students to keep asking for
more funds . . . that is not the ultimate solution.

Right now we are just beginning a $30,000 fund
drive. Though it may seem to be a small amount, it
is very substantial here . . . and it would help the
program immensely. Naturally we will concentrate
this drive in the Charleston-Mattoon area but also call
on some people in surrounding communities.

This year we have raised the student ticket price
from 25 cents to a half dollar. I don't think that is pro-
hibitive to deter students but we'll have to wait and see.

Q. What are the latest developments in a search for a

conference?

MM: Right now I'm not as enthused about con-
ference affiliation as I was this time last year. We are
not going to join a conference or form one with schools
that have greater resources than we and are great dis-
tances from us.

While I firmly believe conference affiliation can
help a program, especially when it comes to fan interest
and winning a championship, I refuse to join some-
thing that will put Eastern at a disadvantage.

Also, I'm not sure it is detrimental to remain an
independent. As I said one of the main advantages of
a conference is winning a league title, which supposedly
offers a better opportunity to compete in post-season

ball, soccer) were awarded a chance to play in post·

Q. Two years ago the NCAA divided into three divi-

sions. Currently we are affiliated with Division II. Do
you anticipate seeking division I (major college) statru
at any time for any sport(s).

MM: I have no ambition for Eastern to become a
Division I school. I think it is unrealistic . . . it would
be unfair to the program and institution. It would hurt
the progr~m s.imply because we would have no hope
of competmg m post-season play, and that is the ulti·
mate goal. We have been very successful in Division
II. Last year, as I mentioned, the soccer, basketball,
and baseball teams received bids to tournaments while

cross country, swimming, track and soccer all finished

in the top ten at national championship meets.

Q. Now that federal legislation has turned the public's

eye towards women's intercollegiate sports, what effort1
have been made at Eastern to improve the women's
abilitites to compete?

we can set up a management pro-

it can again serve as an important

India where the turtle is also found,

Moll, whose wife and two sons are
living in the Malaysian capital of
Kuala Lumpur, is conducting most
cf his research along the semi-

said, referring to the area where

done on campus at the University of
Malaysia.

This is not Moll's first experience
with overseas work. In 1963 he par-
ticipated in a study of new world
tropical turtles in Panama. The 34
year old scientist has been at East-
