TO ALL FLC STAFF from Cindy Olson (Head of FLC
Lending Services): Now that we are back into our regular school year, the stacks will again be in desperate need of shelf-reading. This is just a reminder to all staff who participate in the stack maintenance program to spend a few hours a month cleaning up your call number section. Same sections as before will be assigned. If you have not participated before in this project, please see me and I will assign you a call number section. Please be sure to note in the stack maintenance notebook located on the Circulation desk, the dates that you shelf-read your section. Thanks again for your participation! |

CUL PROMOTIONS Congratulations to the following CUL staff members, who were recently promoted:
|
| Carol Baker's (FLC Public Services) son, Sean Anderson was quoted in a new book by Peter Jennings and Todd Brewster, entitled IN SEARCH OF AMERICA. Unfortunately, Carol explains, Sean will not be featured in the upcoming television series by the same title. |
| Chris Leamy is no longer with FLC Circulation. As of September 3, he replaced Clayton Crenshaw as the new Head of Circulation Services at the Hamon Arts Library. |
| Carrie Esch (FLC Ref) recently became Level Two Certified in Army Family Team Building. According to Carrie, "Army Family Team Building is a volunteer-led organization with a central tenet: provide training and knowledge to spouses and family members to support the total Army effort. Strong families are the pillar of support behind strong soldiers, and AFTB's mission is to educate and train all of America's Army in knowledge, skills and behaviors designed to prepare our Army families to move successfully into the future." |
| Barbara Stockton's (CIP) son, Alex, returned from Nagoya, Japan as a participant in the CISV International Exchange Program. His delegation traveled to Hiroshima and Kyoto while living with a host family for four weeks. He enjoyed being waited on by his host's mother and grandmother, but has reassimilated into our lifestyle, somewhat to his chagrin. Programs for next summer will be announced in the fall. Recruitment for adult leaders and participants ages 11-17 is ongoing. Feel free to contact Barbara if you have questions. |

HAWN GALLERY EXHIBITION Peter Ligon: The New York Drypoints, August 19 through December 15, 2002, Mildred Hawn Gallery, Hamon Arts Library The Pollock Gallery, Division of Art, in conjunction with the Mildred Hawn Gallery, Hamon Arts Library presents over twenty drypoint etchings by Southern Methodist University alumnus Peter Ligon. The show brings together, for the first time, works the artist has executed during regular yearly sojourns to New York City over the last eight years. The drypoint process has allowed Ligon to intimately record on copper plates his personal and keenly felt observations of both the built and natural landscape of New York City. The exhibition is curated by Shannon Phillips, Assistant to the Director at the Dallas Center for Contemporary Art (Ms. Phillips served as the Pollock Curatorial Intern for 2001-2002) and Philip Van Keuren, Director of the Pollock Gallery and Assistant Professor of Art and Curatorial Studies, Division of Art, Meadows School of the Arts.
