Among the more unusual en-
tries are the felt-tip pen designs
by Dr. Monk who is chairman of
the religion department. "The
designs are basically in the form
of a 'Mandalu' " said Monk.
"The word in Sanskrit means
'circle ' Mandalas are used In
ancient Hinduism and some
forms of Buddhism to induce
states of contemplation and
meditation.
Suter believes the Faculty Art
Show will be of interest not only
to other McMurry faculty mem-
"hers but to students and other
members of the Abilene com-
munity. "Since art permeates all
areas of living it is worthwhile
to view and appreciate the work
of others whether they are his-
torians scientists writers
musicians or lawyers" suid
Suter.
