The Freeman-Asia Program is providing awards for students in Asia in Summer 2005, Fall 2005 and the 2005-2006 academic year. The primary goal of the Program, administered by the Institute of 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. Application deadline for fall and academic year 2005-2006 is April 1. For more information, visit http://www.iie.org/freeman-asia.
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 p.m.; Friday, by appointment only.
