Brian Bean Prints

Photographic prints created by Appalachian State University student Brian Bean are on display in the student union’s Looking Glass Gallery through Nov. 14.

A collection of contemporary works entitled, “False Fantasies” focus on the exaggeration and recycling of ideas on the traditional landscape.

The gallery is open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Mon.-Fri., and is located on the student union’s first floor. Call gallery director Steve Severt at 262-8320 for more information.

Award-Winning Map

A map highlighting recreation in Boone earned an international award for students within the Appalachian State University Department of Geography and Planning.

The students placed third out of over 1,000 entries in an international map gallery cartography map competition.

Department professor Art Rex said the map’s concept arose after continual tourist requests for a Boone recreational map. While Boone is the map’s center, it also covers other areas of North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee.

The map is available for $8.95 and is sold at the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce, The Mast General Store, Footslogger’s and the Blue Planet Map Company.

A.S.A.P

Appalachian State Advertising Productions (A.S.A.P.) wants creative minds to participate in a student-run advertising agency.

A.S.A.P. members have solicited clients from the Boone community and want to run a fully-functioning agency.

Kevin Carroll, A.S.A.P. president, said the club has already followed professional agencies by breaking into “creative teams,” which allow students to focus on either visual, verbal, or organizational aspects of advertising.

Students wanting to participate are invited to come to A.S.A.P.’s Monday night meetings at 7 p.m. in Walker 106. A Nov. 19 trip to a Winston-Salem agency is also planned. Students may also contact A.S.A.P. advisor Catherine Morton via e-mail (cmorton@mekon.com).
