Pepsi challenge coming
The Psychology Club will sponsor a Pepsi challenge Sept. 26-28 in the Fiesta Room of Loftin Student Center. 
"We will randomly ask students to sample Pepsi and Coca Cola. Participants will be blindfolded. Different students will be used to pour and to serve the drinks," Billy Rose, psychology professor and club sponsor said, 
"Following the sample we will have a questionnaire for the students to fill out," Rose said. 
Bert Arriaga, Psychology Club president, outlined the semester's activities for 50 new membership applicants at the club's first meeting last week. 
"after the Pepsi challenge there will be a lecture on the psychology of advertising. The presentation will be Larry Dohrn, psychology professor," Arriaga said.

Art Guild slates events
The Art Students Build is meeting at 11 a.m. today in room 27 of McCreless Hall 
"We're planning several activities this year," Bethina Fletcher, president of the Guild, said. "Oct. 1-2 we are going to Dallas to see the Alexander Calder show entitled 'Calder's Universe'."
Calder was the first person to design a sculpture in space-the first mobile. 
"We want to expose students to different ideas," Fletcher said. 
"Museums and galleries are different in other cities."
The guild is working toward finding gallery space for stay dents to display their work on a regular basis.
"It's important for students to have their work displayed. There are needs to be gallery space instead of a hall or a room divider-an area for art."
Canteau said he would not elaborate on the matter because a newspaper reporter was present. 
"I won't speak more specifically about it now, but if you want to know more, you can speak to me personally," he concluded. 
Canteau said a person filed a complaint at the Aug. 19 board of trustees meeting concerning the appointment of the assistant director of the evening division, Mike Hernandez. 
"A woman (later identified as Dorothy Miller, English professor) registered a complaint by writing a

There is no need for a city ordinance restricting construction over the Edwards aquifer recharge zone. John Steen, District 9 City council member, said. 
Steen, former board of trustee member for this college district, was the only council member to vote against the city ordinance restricting development over the aquifer on lots smaller than five acres. 
Steen said current agencies protecting the aquifer are adequate. "I don't want any moritorium on the Northside. Existing regulations and restrictions of the Texas Water Quality Board and all other governmental agencies that are interested in it is enough," Steen said in an interview. 
Steen said if pollution were found in the aquifer, he would reconsider his vote. 
"If these people studying the aquifer (the Metcalf & Edy report–and they have been doing it for about a year costing the city about $1 million–if they would come up with one drop of pollution out of the aquifer, then I might change my mind about the new ordinance the City Council has passed. 
"In fact they are getting desperate to find out how they are going to measure the pollution in the aquifer when there is no pollution down there right now," he said. 
Steen said the City Council

Four faculty withdraw art from Witte

and let them get so involved, try so hard to read it and finish it, and then at a certain point shock them according to their own social and cultural sensitivities with this lewd story, an encounter with a virgin. 
"I was bored with the work, and most of the other sculptors and painters I've talked tom their response was of mild interest, but I think the visual form of it was only that way. The full force of the work involved that trap, particularly set for the person who viewed it with a literal mind," Willome said. 
The protesting artists do not deny that McGregor has the right and responsibility to determine the content of the Witte. 
However, once McGregor established that the works would be selected and placed by a committee of professors from the various art departments, he should have defended the work rather than let someone from off the street convince him to take the work down, Willome said. 
Adding to the artists disappointment over the censorship of their colleague's work is a feeling that Witte Museum does not give them the coverage they deserve. 
"The Witte Museum's tradition of inattention to contemporary art of the region is inexcusable in the light of the Witte's accepted role as a regional museum of natural and anthropological history," the joint statement expressed. 
"The bulk of art exhibitions held by the White during the tenure of Mr. McGregor have been from sources other than San Antonio or the Texas region. Most have been shows that have been organized in other parts of the country by other museums and galleries for which the Witte must make payment. 
"We do not seek to understate the important role that those out-of-region shows have in the adulteration of regional citizens. We merely seek an equitable balance of attention and treatment afforded the art brought in from other regions," the statement reads. 
The teachers were joined in that opinion at Thursdau's meeting by the other artists, also irritated at the Witte for not displaying local works. 
Paul Rossback, Witte public relations director defended the museum. 
"When the Witte organizes a show, it isn't always contemporary art. When we organize an art exhibit, we are trying to appeal to all of the taxpayers, and I don't believe all of them are interested in abstract art." Rossbach said. 
More than 130 persons attended the meeting. As the meeting wound down, solutions to the local artists' dilemma were discussed. 
Don Evans of San Antonio Museum of Modern Art (SAMOMA) encouraged better publicity efforts in behalf of the alternate exhibition forums. 
Robert Canon, director of San Antonio's Arts Council, encouraged more dialogue between the artists themselves and possibly an organized coalition or group. 
"The limited amount of money has been going to institutions; somehow the individual arts has been left out of that equation. Government is cautious in using funds to subsidize the individual. We'd (the arts council) would rather work through an organized group. 
Judy Orutia, local arts and art lecturer, also supported the coalition idea. 
"My concern is how visual art has been used, what impact it has on the community. We do have some kind of power and can use it effectively. "What we're talking about is now lobbying power. I'm interested in the arts having some power for a change," Orutia said.
