It is extremely sad, and I'm not sure why it is, or at what point educational administrations decided that art should take a backseat to other subjects. Especially football. <br /><br />If any of you come up with an answer, I'd love to hear it.

I studied there with a variety of sculpure professors, some great, some totally useless. The machinery was tip top, twenty or thirty years ago. I was shocked to see the condition of the shops and their equipment when I visited the shop a couple of summers ago. I noticed they were looking for a shop manager this past summer and applied. I didn't even get called for an interview. Now I think it's because those in charge would have been terribly embarrassed trying to explain how the shop fell into such hideous disrepair. That's the same anvil that was busted in 1992. Most of the machinery came from Kirtland Surplus, due to Fitz' connections. It totally sucks most of the machinery hasn't ever been replaced; it was already old and barely serviceable when I went through the program. What a damn shame.Rudolfo Carrillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02463389156857102478noreply@blogger.com
