Prometheus, v. 5, 1982

Abstract

Editor's Note: Some people will argue about their reasons for working with the arts. To some it may be their interpretations of life, while to others art simply is a hobby. What it all boils down to (directly or indirectly) is self expression. Self expression comes in as many different forms as there are people. Singers sing, dancers dance, and jestors jest. Fat people, tall people, young people and _old people-they all have something special to say. Their messages come in various forms. Take a look at the pages inside. Photos, drawings, poems and stories are the media for these people. Look not at the subjects themselves or sentence structures. Observe and feel the meaning behind them all. Some may be the results of pain, fatigue, depression, or all-out desperation. The Creative Arts Journal: Prometheus serves as an outlet and encourages this creativity and expression which is so important to us all. I want to thank our faculty advisor Warren Lang not only for the time and sense of direction he provided, but also for knowing when to lay back and allow the staff the freedom to go in various directions. Words of apprecia-tion are also due to the various faculty members who judged the contest: Fiction -Paul Edmondson and Howard Foreman, Nonfiction -Publications and Issues Committee of the English Department, Poetry -Margo Criscuola and Melanie Richards, Art -Paul Delong and Jeff Metcalf, Photography -Art Juncho and Paul Stankavich. I hope that tight budgets and funding will never be a factor in the future of Prometheus. To put restrictions on such a thing would be to put restric-tions on human expression and eventually human society.
