From the sidelines
The performance of Mel Tillis
at Wisdom Gym, Tarleton State
University, Thursday night was
probably one of his best but
only those that were within a
few feet of the stage are
qualified to judge. Anyone seat-
ed further than this had difficul-
ty hearing the Country Enter-
tainer of the Year as the clatter
and chatter of many Tarleton
students coupled with the poor
accoustks of a building beauti-
fully designed for viewing, but
not hearing, made most of the
singing and stage talk totally
inaudible.
It seems the “Rexall
Rangers,” a handle given the
students who would like to
convince others they’re cowboys
and cowgirls, are primarily re-
sponsible. With total disrespect
for those that have paid a fairly
large price to attend, these
individuals talk among themsel-
ves throughout the concerts,
creating a constant hum.
We agree with several refined
Tarleton students. ‘‘Many of the
student) "eW limply Ul-manner-
ed. It’s not the "real” cowboys.
It’s the Tom Mixk, the Randy
Rodeos. The type that wear
their trouser, in their boots, the
bandanas and the big hats with
a fcathc ft W hout real int erest,
these individuals appear at
these concerts for s lack of a
better place to go. It costs them
no more to attend than to
remain outside, as they pur-
chased SAF (Student Activity
Fund) tickets st the beginning of
the year fur the sum of ten
dollars. This ticket admits the
SAF member to all school
sponsored fiincitons.
Many students believe that
the Student Activity Fund Com-
mittee is really not interested in
pleasing anyone. ‘‘They’re only
interested in getting the gate
receipts.” We see evidence of
this at each concert. And cer-
tainly this lack of concern has
caused public attendance to
drop to such levels that monthly
concerts are no longer financial-
ly feasible.
There should be s program or
contest held simultaneously at
which this element would be
attracted, where they could
exhibit their best talents. We
suggest a cow chip throwing
contest..
Another alternative would be
for this fine institution to in-
corporate a course on manners
in the Freshman course re-
quirements.
Refining ill-mannered, uncul-
tured individuals is a big job.
Tarleton has a lot of material
with which to work.

Lincoln Favorite
One of Abraham Lincoln’s
favorite tales goes as follows :
“A young man had an aged
mother and father who owned
considerable property. The young
man, being an only son and
believing that old people had
outlived their usefulness, killed
them both. He was accused, tried
and convicted of the murder.
When the judge came to pass sen-
tence. he called upon him to give
any reason he might have why
the sentence of death should not
be passed. The young man
replied that he hoped the court
would be lenient to him because
he was a poor orphan!”
Some Day
Someday a woman could
become President; but you have
to be over 35 to be President, and
where are you going to find a
woman who will admit that she’s
over 35?
Me Nervous?
Upon entering the room a
woman recognized the celebri-
ty who was to address her group.
He teas pacing madly back and
forth. "Are you always nervous
before you make a speech?” she
asked. He replied, "Nervous!
Why, no, l never get nervous.”
Then she asked, "Well what are
you doing in the Ladies’ Room?"

With the opening recently in
New York City of a ‘‘Studio for
Solid Photography,” photogra-
phy enters a new dimension —
the solid state — with an in-
novative computer process
which introduces three-dimen-
sional technology.
Solid photography produces a
“portrait sculpture” of a per-
son after a two-second exposure
before special elaborate cam-
era equipment. The sculptures
which result are realistic and
accurate reproductions of indi-
viduals which can be produced
in a choice of sizes and in a
wide variety of materials in-
cluding paralene, bronze, pew
ter, porcelain, ebony, lucite, si’-
ver and gold.
Paralene is a special product
developed for this system, a
mixture of paraffin wax and
polyethylene. It is used as the
basic sculpture material for the
process because it is durable,
and can be coated and lac-
quered in different textures. It
can also be used to make a
mold from which the sculpture
can be reproduced in bronze
and the other materials.
Solid photography was con-
ceived by Paul DiMatteo, pres-
ident of Dynell Electronics
Corp., of Melville, N.Y., which
spent five years and $3 million
to develop the product and
process, and bring it to the
public.
The special “camera” which
sets the process in motion con-
sists of equipment which com-
bines four special projectors
and eight cameras which focus
on, and record, the dimensions
and planes of a person or any
three-dimensional object. The
results are films from each of
the eight cameras. These are
put into a computer which
scans and codes the dimensions
on magnetic tape. The tape
goes into a dimensional replica-
tor which coordinates all the
codes and molds the sculpture
out of paralene. This can be
done in half-size, three-quarter
size or full size of the original,
the usual choices for “portrait
sculptures.”
The initial price for a basic
paralene portrait sculpture in
half-size is $150. The most pop-
ular order — after six weeks of
being in business — is for a
t h r e e-quarter size portrait
' sculpture in bronze costing
$390. The actual production of
paralene sculpture requires
about two days of lab work, but
because of the work backlog
clients wait two to three weeks
for delivery.
The ramifications of solid
photography lead to countless
possibilities in educational, in-
dustrial, medical and military
fields as well as in the artistic
area.
Two dentists from the Uni-
versity of Michigan ordered
their “portraits in sculpture"
and revealed a possible new
use for the process. When ex-
tensive dental surgery is re-
quired, a preoperative sculp-
tured head of the patient could
be useful as a guide to pi event
drastic facial alteration after
new dentures or oral surgery is
finished.
It could also serve in plastic
surgery to plan facial changes
and to preview the “new look”
by making contemplated
changes on the sculpture before
the operation.
Sculptured portraits can also
be reduced small enough to be
made into miniature jewelry
ornaments like those on charm
bracelets or on gold neck
chains. They can be made in
sterling silver or 14K gold.
Some couples have come in
to have “sculptured portraits”
made of their clasped hands. It
seems to have a greater psy-
chological appeal to them than

SOLID PHOTOGRAPHY. New computer
technology produces a “portrait sculpture” after a
two-second exposure of the subject. This bronze
bust in three-quarter size is one of several choices
in size and materials offered.
having their likenesses sculp-
tured.
Naturally, there has been
some negative reaction from
some sculptors and aqtists who
see solid photography making
possible inroads into their pro-
fession. It recalls similar feel-
ings by artists when photogra-
phy was born in 1839. When Da-
guerre's invention was an-.
nounced at the French Acade-
my of Sciences, one reaction
was summed up by Paul Dela-
roche after seeing his first da-
guerreotype, “From today,
painting is dead!”
As we all know, art and
painting did not die. Photogra-
p h y , however, progressed
through the years to become
the most powerful universal
medium of communication in
the world. Written and spoken
languages have built-in barriers
that often stop at their national
borders but photographs deliver
their message to everyone ev-
erywhere.
Solid photography will never
replace artistic interpretation
of people through sculptures In
fact, sculptors may find a “por-
trait sculpture” one way to cut
down repeated and lengthy sit-
tings of clients. It can serve as
a stand-in for reference while
they add their individual artis-
tic touch.
Interestingly enough, the Ijas-
ic idea of using photographs to
build a sculptured likeness of
individuals occurred to a
Frenchman in 1860, shoitiy
after photography's birth
Beaumont Newhall, then direc-
tor of George Eastman House
in Rochester, almost 20 years
ago unearthed the story of
Francois Willeme who invented
a process lie called “Photo
Sculpture.'
Willeme built a circular stu-
dio in Paris. From the center
of the ceiline skylight hung a
plumb bob as a reference point.
.Subjects posed under the bob
on' a rats* i circular platform
divided into 24 pie-shaped seg-
ments. Around the studio, 24
cameras took simultaneous pic-
tures in a 10-second exposure.
Later these pictures were
each projected on a wall while
an artist, using a drawing tool
called a pantograph, shaped a
mound of clay into dimensions
dictated by each photo. The
clay, on a round, 24-segment
slab, was turned each time to
correspond with each picture.
The result turned int o a propor-
tional statue which required
hand finishing. Then it was cast
permanently.
The Wilieme process, too in-
volved and laborious, was a fi-
nancial failure and the studio
had to close its doors in 1867.
Now, 110 years later, with
space age technology in optics,
electronics, computers and
chemistry, the basic idea has
been revived and photography
tigs another opportunity to
prove it has a solid future. In-
quiries about the process have
already been received from Eu-
ropean countries and Japan.
DiMatteo confirms that “Studi-
os for Solid Photography” are
being planned for other cities in
the future
