Silhouette—
The sculpture, “Icarus,” located by the Art Building on campus was
produced by Charles Umlauf, University of Texas sculptor. Icarus, the
son of Daedalus, escaped imprisonment by flying with artful wings but
fell into the sea and drowned when the wax of his wings melted as he
flew too near the sun.

Dunwoody will speak
on science journalism
By STEVEN FORD
UP staff writer
Sharon Dunwoody, a lecturer in
science jounalism, is scheduled as
the second speaker in the GTE Lec-
ture Series to be held Feb. 12.
The lecture is planned for the
Eighth Floor of Gray Library at 7
p.m.
Dunwoody, an associate professor
at the School of Journalism and
Mass Communication of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin at Madison, has
named her lecture “Prime Time
Science.”
The lecture will cover science
journalism, its nature and how effec-
tive it is, Dr. Glenn Utter, associate
professor of political science, said.
Utter, along with Dr. Lorene
Stone, assistant professor of
sociology, submitted the grant pro-
posal to GTE, which awarded the
lecture series to Lamar.
“Today, so much depends on
technical knowledge,” Utter said,
“and if people have trouble
understanding this knowledge, it
may lead to trouble for a
democracy.”
Dunwoody will address this issue
with videotape, and other visual ex-
amples.”
Dunwoody has taught at Ohio
State University, Indiana Universi-
ty, University of Texas at Arlington
and Temple University.
She has published more than 30 ar-
ticles in professional journals and
presented 24 papers at professional
meetings.
“She is at the cutting edge of a
serious problem,” Utter said. “That
is simply information.”
The public is invited and a recep-
tion will be held afterwards.
Dental clinic lists hours
Services provided by the dental
hygiene clinic at Lamar University
are available for students and the
public during the spring semester
through May 7, Joe Lee Smith, direc-
tor of public information, said.
The clinic will offer treatments
from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., Monday
through Thursday, and also from 5
p.m. until 9 p.m. on Tuesdays at its
facility in the Mamie McFaddin
Ward Health Sciences Building on
East Lavaca Street.
Basic services include oral cancer
screening, dental examination,
blood pressure checks, teeth clean-
ing, personal oral hygiene educa-
tion, dental x-rays, and topical
flouride treatments. Other services
may include pit and fissure sealants,
nutritional counseling and amalgam
polishing if needed.
Appointments can be made by
