Artist's rendering of 'U' breaks fresh ground The Michigan Daily - Thursday, November 10, 1988 -- Page 3 m . Poster problem BY MICAH SCHMIT Many of the posters at campus bookstores are pictures of the Uni- versity's football stadium or car- toons depicting University life. But one student entrepreneur, sparked by this monotony, has created an alter- native which is appropriate in any setting - from living rooms to dorms. "Painting the Perfect Picture" - a new poster for University of Michigan fans - is described as more of a piece of art than a typical wall poster. LSA sophomore Brad Keywell was the brains behind the project. A SELF-PROCLAIMED modern art buff, Keywell wanted s something contemporary, that would somehow subtly , yet simply, cap- ture the diversity reprensentative of the University. "I woke up with this idea for a new poster, but I'm not an artist and I wasn't sure how I was going to do it," he said. Keywell checked with printers and with the University to get per- mission for the project. Once moved by the feasibility of the idea, he or- ganized a competition to design the poster last spring at the University's School of Art. The prize was $200 plus a percentage of the profits from poster sales. Art school junior Nicole Nagel won for her entry of a painted block M'. "MICHIGAN is such a mesh of different things," she said. To capture this, she layered colors against each other. In this way the 'M' was also made less obvious, she said. The design, along with the Key- well's caption "Painting the Perfect Picture," tied together feelings that he wanted with the art work, Nagel said. Keywell wants the poster to ap- peal to students, parents, and alumni as a symbol that is "more pre- sentable as well as timeless," in contrast to traditional aerial campus snapshots, Nagel said. "It is a new approach to a Michi- gan poster. When I saw the contest requirements I said, 'Yea, I'd even like one of those'," Nagel said. KEYWELL recently pledged a percentage of the profits to Motts Children's Hospital. "I was always impressed with businessmen, like (Michigan millionaire A. Alfred) Taubman, who donate large amounts of their money to charity." Nagel had designed more than 40 posters before settling on the 15 she submitted to Keywell. "When I was doing them they were hanging all over my walls - it was hilarious, it was like I was obsessed with 'M's." Her entry won from multiple en- tries submitted by more than 30 other contestants. The poster, which retails for $12, is available at five Ann Arbor loca- tions including Barnes and Noble, State Discount, Balfour House, Willy's, and the Bagpiper. "I DO THINK it is one of the best Michigan posters I've seen, said Nancy Lierle, owner of the Bagpiper. "Kids like it because its a piece of art." Keywell said he has already sold between 250 and 300 posters. plaguespat A . k JOSE JUAREZ/DSIy The new Michigan poster, created by LSA sophomore Brad Keywell and designed by School of Art junior Nicole Na- gel, offers an alternative representation of the University. Regents Continued from Page 1 have been different, Hudler said. He added the smaller parties faced a great disadvantage in the election because the major television stations showed only the results of the Republican and Democratic parties during voting time. James Marsh, a member of the College Democrats on campus, said he found Baker's reelection "disgraceful," but added Varner would continue to be a positive asset to the Board. i r 1 Photographer gives first-hand account of life in South Africa THE LIST What's happening in Ann Arbor today Speakers "Time-Resolved Macro-Molec- ular Crystallography" - Prof. Keith Moffat, Cornell University, 1200 Chem Bldg., 4 pm.

BY ELIZABETH ESCH In a presentation entitled "The World Is Weeping," Detroit Free Press photographer David Turnley communicated - using his slides set to music - some of the realities of South Africa to a crowd of more than 200 people yesterday. Turnley, a University alumnus, was one of a handful of Western journalists who were able to obtain visas to stay in South Africa from 1985 through 1987. He finally was forced by the government to leave because of the "bias" in his work. Turnley's photographs depict the daily lives of people who live and work under the apartheid regime. Most of the photographs are of Black South Africans, though some juxtapose whites and Blacks to show how different their lives are. One picture shows a fat white man lean- ing against a car while a young Black woman pumps gas for him. In another picture, white police officers beat back a crowd of Blacks. OF THE 30 million people who live in South Africa only 5 million are white, yet they rule a majority of Blacks who do not have basic rights such as the ability to vote or choose where they will live. Black South Africans are forced to live in town- ships located 20 to 40 miles outside the all-white cities. Turnley experienced South Africa as having "two worlds." He described the whites there as "clueless" about the harsh reality of the lives of Black South Africans. Turnley's presentation was un- structured to encourage the audience to determine the direction. After a 45-minute slide show, Turnley an- swered questions about his experi- ence in South Africa and his work there. QUESTIONS to Turnley cen- tered around his role as a white American trying to work in all-Black communities. He expressed his con- cern that there is a serious misper- ception by whites, both in and out of South Africa, of the intentions of Blacks. "Black people in South Africa want no more than the rights en- BY KRISTINE LALONDE With Michigan Student Assembly elections just around the corner, The Moderates Party is having unexpected difficulty reaching potential voters: MSA's election director determined that 600 of the party's posters violated the assembly's election coder The party has appealed the de- cision of election director Vicki Tdl- ces to the Central Student Judiciary which handles appeals of MSA actions. CSJ Chief Justice John Sotiroff said the case will be reviewed by the judiciary's election board tomorrow. The poster featured a photo of MSA president Michael Phillips holding a poster reading "Duderstadt is illegal" at the inauguration of University President James Duder- stadt last month. Some campus groups have ques- tioned Duderstadt's legitimacy, on grounds that the University's Board of Regents may have violated the OpenMeetings Act in selecting him: Tolces determined the poster could not be used under election code clause 14.654, which reads "Any stu- dent who in campaign advertising material states or implies that a particular organization has endorsed a candidate or viewpoint, must secure and retain that written permission of the student or organization giving tlie endorsement." Tolces said the party must receive written permission from Phillips because he represents MSA as i organization - supporting the posi- tion displayed on the poster he §s holding. "He's endorsing this viewpoint (the one on the poster) for MSA." : Tolces admitted, though, that the clause was "kind of vague." The Moderates is not the only party unclear on the clause's meatl ing. The Centerpoint party wanted tai use the same photo on its posters; To avoid bureaucratic delay, the party used the photo with the word 'illegal" cut out, thereby circumventing the rule because Phillips is not shown supporting any viewpoint. Karen Libertiny, an LSA junior and a member of the Centerpoint party, said, "Centerpoint feels that it's clear that Michael Phillips holds that opinion." She said the party believes the poster should have been approved in its entirety. Turnley ... recalls South Africa joyed by white people... the right to vote, choose where they will live, to express themselves..." Turnley also spoke of the need to create awareness in people outside of South Africa. He stressed the need for education, and implored the audi- ence to "do everything we can to not let this issue die." Michigan blood battle- response weal BY LAURA COHN Pints of blood are pulsing in at a fairly anemic rate in the Michigan vs. Ohio State Blood Battle, organizers say. As of 2 p.m. yesterday, after two days of competition, Michigan collected 837 pints of blood out of the goal 6,275, and Ohio State collected 918 pints out of 5,750. LSA senior John Lin, who has helped with the Blood Battle for four years, said Tuesday he thought this year's response is "lame." "I think that the total will have a big jump in the next few days because many students have been busy voting," said Neal Fry, the Red Cross representative for ~officials say the University. "After waiting in poll lines for three hours, they didn't have time to take out another hour to donate blood. Also, on Monday three of our nurses were sick, so we had to turn away donors." The Red Cross sets goals for each residence hall. The number of pints collected from the faculty has not yet been tabulated, so the University's total is not com- pletely accurate. The winner of the blood battle - the school that comes closest to its goal - will be announced at half- time of the Michigan-Ohio State football game Nov. 19. Pursel Continued from Page 1 very pleased with the results and look forward to serving another two years in the U.S. Congress." Pursell was referring to the nearly $750,000 Pollack spent in her cam- paign. He spent about $1 million, making this the most expensive race in Michigan and one of the most costly for a Congressional seat in the country. "I'M NOT sorry that I ran," Pollack said. She had set out in her campaign to try to prove that a strong chal- lenger can unseat an incumbent member of Congress. Her failure, she said, shows "it is practically impos- sible to beat an unindicted incum- bent" This was Pursell's closest race since he was first elected in 1976 by a margin of 344 votes. Previously, his closest race was in 1986, when he beat University graduate student Dean Baker 59-41. "We made enormous gains," Pol- lack said, "but it wasn't enough." SHE WILL take some time off this weekend, but will be back in Lansing at 8 this morning for Senate business. Pollack was first elected to the Michigan Senate in 1982. POLICE NOTES Break-in Guitars, tape recorders and a compact disc player, valued at a total of $6,100, were reported stolen from the Music Mart, 322 S. State St., last weekend, Ann Arbor police said. Sgt. Jan Suomala said the thieves apparently gained entry into the store by removing a door from a storage area in the basement. The break-in occurred sometime between Saturday afternoon and Monday morning, he said. There a're no suspects in the burglary, Suomala said, and an investigation is continuing. Indecent exposure An 11-year-old Ann Arbor girl reported that a man drove up to her in a car and exposed himself to her in the 1800 block of Hill Street Tuesday afternoon, Suomala said. No arrests have been made in connection with the incident. - By Nathan Smith Class Continued from Page 1 ment doesn't necessarily do that," said English Prof. Buzz Alexander.
