/ The College News VOL. XXI, No. 22 ijRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1935 Copyright BRYN MAWR OOLLfcKJK NEWS, 1935 PRICE 10 CENTS Leach Affirms Verse Popular In America Poetry Should Aim To Arouse Emotions But To Preserve Equilibrium MacLEISH BEST MODERN Deanery, April 28.�"I will lie an idle ball," was the theme, selected from Alcmon's Lyra Graeca, chosen by Mr. Henry Goddard Leach for his lecture When Verse Becomes Poetry. Mr. Leach expressed his conviction that any definition of poetry and the region where verse turns into poetry should be entirely personal. His own attitude represents no school of phil- osophy, no conception of poetry, no theory characteristic of any magazine. Contemporary verse is perhaps more contemporary than any other Amercian art. There are about twelve million Americans extremely interest- ed in it, and of these a great many are young people still in schools and colleges. The corn belt especially ex- eels in the productivity of young poets. Much of the poetry of modern young writers takes the form of vets lihre, and much verse developing from vers libre becomes more American and more contemporary. "More than half of the young girl poets," he said, "be- long to tomorrow." Poetry, according to Aristotle, is a relief, a cleansing of life. "My defi- nition," said Mr. Leach, "is that it is the art of the patterned word." The definition of poetry, then, depends upon that of art. A century and a half before Aristotle, Confucius said that the state of art exists when all the emotions ai-e actively in being, but in a state of equilibrium and his deli- nation is better than Aristotle's. Art should not stir one to action,�one's emotions arc aroused, but they arc in a state of equilibrium. A college edu- cation of the emotions is needed more than an accumulation of fact or added thought. Verse becomes poetry when it be- comes etched on the emotions of a generation unborn at the time the poem was written. In spite of the many objections raised against the tactics of the American Poetry Society�objec- tions to too great popularization, and to too marked promotion of quality� �it seems to�be the function of editors and college professors to decide which Continued on Pace Three Science Building Plans Show Steady Progress The new Science Building will be in two sections, one for physics, chemis- try and mathematics and one for biol- ogy and geology. The plans for the physics, chemistry and mathematics section are completed. The building will be of gray stone, quarried locally, and will be in keep- ing with the architecture of the other buildings on the campus. Its simplic- ity is well suited to its purpose, a sim- plicity, however, that is reached by combining complicated, unbalanced de- tails into a balanced' whole. The first year physics laboratory has sound-proof and dark rooms for sound and light experiments. A high voltage room will allow a Vandergraf apparatus to be used with no danger of flying sparks. A cork-lined dark room, with a separate floor from the rest of the building so that there will be no possibility of vibrations, will house the Rowland grating' already owned by the college.'1 The. large lec- ture rooms for first year classes have preparation rooms behind them in which experiments can be set up for class demonstration. Ten small rooms for graduate research are provided. The library for physics and chemistry with reading room and stacks is to be given by the Class of 1918 as a memorial to Marjorie Jefferies Wag- oner, A.B., Bryn Mawr, 1918; M.D., University of Pennsylvania, 1922; College Physician from 1922 to 1984. The chemical laboratories are equip- ped with a modern ventilating system to carry off the gases. The receiving and storage rooms are adjoining and the balance room is placed to avoid vibrations. Wherever possible, steam will be used in experiments for which heat is necessary, so that the lire risk will be reduced to the minimum. The new building will not only.pro- vide such modern equipment as is es- sential to carry on experimentation, but will make possible a valuable ex- periment in the teaching of science. A plan for correlating the sciences with each other and with mathematics has been worked out in detail and will he put into effect as soon as the new Science Building is available. Bryn Mawr College was a pioneer fifty years ago in demanding that .science be part of the required work for the A.B. degree. Now it is to be a pio- neer in a new plan of teaching science. The cost of the building for physics, chemistry and mathematics will be $500,000 equipped. Summer School to Take Place This Year At Art Workshop Camp, Mt. Ivy, New York Goodhart, April 29.�The plans for the summer of nineteen-thirty-five of the Bryn Mawr Summer School for women in industry were discussed at a meeting held by the Summer School Committee of the Bryn Mawr League. The speakers were Mrs. Dexter Otey, 1901, who will be the director of the school this summer, Miss Betty Fry, who was at the school last summer, and Miss Katie Graver, of Berlin. Mrs. Otey discussed the purpose of the summer sessions for women work- ers, which is to teach them a prac- tical course in the social sciences and to help them realize how they can bet- ter their own economic positions. The group is most varied, including girls from all over the United States and often from several countries of Eu- rope, who are of every political per- suasion. The school was the first of its kind in America. Its former di- rector, Miss Hilda Smith, is now di- recting a similar movement under the FERA in Washington. This Summer the School will not be located on the Bryn Mawr campus as usual, but will open on June seventh at a summer camp of the Art WorkshofTTJeague at Mount Ivy, Pomona, New York. Usually the school is composed of one hundred girls sent on scholarships from their various communities, who live in Pembroke and have classes in Denbigh and Taylor Halls. This year, the number of girls has to be limited to fifty, and there will be no Library, Gymnasium, nor any facilities for studying at night. Because the Art Workshop League needs the camp lat- er in the summer, the session of the summer school wilj begin a week earlier than usual. This may make it necessary for many of the profes- sors, whose college positions do not end until the third week in June, to arrive a week late. Another difficulty is the withdrawal of the grant which was instituted to send negro workers to the summer school. Miss Fry outlined the courses of- fered each summer, which include Kuglish and economics, as required subjects, elementary sciences, correc- tive gymnasium, sports such as tennis and swimming, and dramatics. There were twenty second-year students in the group of one hundred. One of the problems with which the adminis- trative board of the Summer School are experimenting is whether to in- clude the second-year students in the same classes as the new students, in order to give the advantage of their progress to the whole class, or to start special, more advanced classes for them. Although at present the girls arc- accepted for only two years at the most, the knowledge that they gain in the two summers is manifested by a desire for further learning which continues through many years. As an evidence of her appreciation of what she had learned at the Bryn Mawr Summer School, Miss Fry left her position in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, for the afternoon, especially in order to speak at the meeting.

Bryn Mawr Students Compete In Oratory Interpretation of History of Acadcmie Is Presented In Winning Speech DECISION WON BY JONES Goodhart, April 24.�Bryn Mawr has been distinguished this year by being the first women's college to hold the Concours Oratoire France- Amerique. Tl^ese concours have hitherto been held only at some of the outstanding universities such as Har- vard, Yale and Leland Stanford. It offers to the undergraduates and to [�graduate students who have received their A.B. degrees not more than a year ago an opportunity to pursue certain problems connected with the study of French in America,�prob- lems of vocabulary and of presenta- tion as distinguished from ordinary conversation or written theses. This year there were three candidates, two seniors, and one graduate student, Francoise Queneau, Mount Holyoke, '34; Mary Pauline Jones, Bryn Mawr, "35, and Elisabeth Morrow, Bryn Mawr, '35. The jury, consisting of M>le Consul-General de Verneuil, M. Schinz, of the University of Pennsyl- vania) and M. Cons, of Columbia Uni- versity, awarded the decision, after some deliberation, to Miss Jones. The subject of the winning address was the true significance of the Academie Francaise, which lies not in its history, but in the interpretation of that history. It is in the spirit of the Academie that its real importance lies, and in the fact that this group of forty men of letters stands, and has always stood, as a symbol of author- ity. Its decisions as regards lan- guage, laws, or contemporaries elected to the body may not necessarily be final or binding, but they set a stand- ard for the rest of the intellectual world. This principle of authority was found in the first Academie, which was merely a gathering of the littera- teurs of the early seventeenth century under the protection of Cardinal Richelieu, who wished to keep these men dependent upon him for their ideas and opinions. Even during the days of the Revolution, when the Academie was suppressed for a time, the principle persisted and was in- corporated in the revived society. There have been many attacks made on the Academie: men have said that in it the intellect is subordinated to politics, that it is not the true expres- sion of a period, since many illustri- ous men are not members, or that, after all, it is only a manifestation of the conventional rather than of the great. All this may be true, but the Academie remains a guiding force and provides a system of values which cannot be over-estimated. Missv Queneau was interested in Vol- taire and his connection with the Academie. His opinion of it varied to the point of being self-contradictory, and in this, as in other respects, he represented the very soul of the French spirit. Atjirst he scorned all Cont4nued oi�*Par� i'ouf Dhan Mukerji Explains Hindu Mystic Methods Lantern Elections Editor-in-Chief � Elizabeth Wyckoff. Editors � Elizabeth Lyle, Barbara Merchant, Margaret Kidder, Sally Park, Elizabeth Putnam. Contributing Editors � Mary Mesier, Augusta Arnold. Deanery, April 23.�"True Hindu contemplation is for the sake of se- rene and noble action in life rather than escape out of life," said Mr. DltSu Gopal Mukerji as a prelude to his explanation of the method Indians use to attain to this contemplation. He warned that mystical experience is a dangerous goal even for those ac- customed to meditation, and when it actually occurs, its surest evidence is its effect upon character, not any fabulous tales of dragons or divini- ties. Hindus are trained in the. art of meditation from their earliest youth until it becomes a habit with them that cannot be broken. When par- ents sit quietly at sundown for this purpose) they make their children sit quietly also. Although the children may be only three years old, and al- though they may cry, or stamp, or fight with each other, no attention is paid to them for twenty minutes. By i lie time they are six, they can re- main perfectly still throughout the re- quired time. Then they are given a picture of Buddha to look at, which they must separate from every ad- jacent thing. That is, they must he aware of the image, while unaware of the frame or the wall where the frame is hung. The tense concentration used during study for examinations is only a hindrance in learning how to medi- tate; the mind should be absolutely relaxed. As soon as children have achieved the ability to relax and still to focus their attention on one ob- ject, they are told to observe not the image of Buddha itself, but the idea of the image�serenity. Through con- templating the bare idea, exaltation is sometimes reached, and always the quality of the serenity which they see enters into the children's lives. Mr. Mukerji himself was not nat- urally inclined to meditation. During the twenty minutes when he was sup- posed to be still, he would run off into the jungle. His mother understood and tried to teach him another way. "Can you hear the silence in the jun- gle?" she asked him each night at bedtime. He could not, so she told him to listen to the wind as it blew through different things. After he had listened closely, he distinguished six different sounds, one made in grass, another in trees, another in the house, and others in various places. "But Jhe music of the wind," said his mother, "is made by the silence be- tween the sounds. If there were no silences, there would be no music; only one long, unvaried note." Then he heard silence. In all music, he dis- covered, it is the pauses in between that make the beauty, just as it is the hollow in a cup, not the glass, which holds wine. His ability to focus.his mind on this idea which transcends mere stillness gave him the ability to meditate. In spite of India's misery, the se- renity and detachment gained by medi- tation endures. Because of it, indeed, the men of India are beyond hurt and can survive their trouble. All over the world as well, in these times of stress and sudden change, detachment Continued on I'age Four Varied Piano Recital Given By Mr. Alwyne Perfect Technique Is Combined With Charm and Sympathy of Rendering ROMANTIC EMPHASIZED Denbigh Over the Top It is announced that Denbigh is the first hall to fill its quota for the Million Dollar Drive, with Merion and Rockefeller following close behind in second and third place. Denbigh and Pembroke East share honors for having contributions from one hundred per cent of the resi- dents. The class of 1935 has won Mrs. Slade's prize for the first class in which all members have contributed. The amounts received to date from the vari- ous halls are as follows: Denbigh ............$1,748.50 Merion ............. 1,261.00 Rockefeller .....:... 4,030.00 Pembroke West..... 2,800.00 Pembroke East ..... 3,269.00 Wyndham .......... 580.00 Non-Residents ...... 400.00 Tota .$14,088.00 Goodhart Hall, April 23.�In the re- cital which Mr. Alwyne gave for the benefit of the Undergraduate Quota of the Million Dollar Drive, his per-' formance was remarkable not only for perfect technique, an outstanding quality of Mr. Alwyne's playing, but also for color, sympathetic rendering, and humor. The program was well- balanced between abstract and pro- gram music, serious and lightly ro- mantic selections. The performance as a whole was characterized by a char, sparWmg quality of tone and the few old favorites received a fresh, new charm in Mr. Alwyne's playing. The program opened with llarh's Fuiitisic in C Minor which, because of its. smooth flowing rhythm, formed a very good introduction. Haydn's Andante con Variazioni in F Minor which followed had more color and variety. Mr. Alwyne displayed his fine technique in this number, which was full of ornanuyitations and con- trasts in volume, tempo, and expres- sion. The trills and runs were rapid and smooth under a light, but unhesi- tating touch. Scrupulous accuracy, so evident in this piece, is an element of Mr. Alwyne's perfect technique. The Schubert-Zadora Lachen tiud Wcimn came next on the program and showed by its sympathetic rendering that technique is only one quality in Mr. Alwyne's art. The Gluck-Brahms (in mtte which ended the first section of the program is such a well-known favorite that its performance often hicks interest. Mr. Alwyne, however, because of his beautiful touch and the smoothness of his performance, brought out the hidden beauties of this piece. PnppillotiA, Opus 2, by Schumann, was the high point of the program. This piece, which is divided into twelve parts, is so called, Mr. Alwyne explained, not because of its flutter- ing quality, but because it is derived from a number of short phrases. Rep- resentatively it portrays the last chap- ter of a novel by two young men sow- Contlnued on rage Three Kimball Lectures To Art Classes Taylor, April 24.�The History of Art classes enjoyed a rare opportun- ity to see the point of view of the working artist when Mr. Maulsby Kimball addressed them on the subject of The Composition of the Italian Masters of the Renaissance as Work- iiuj Artists. Mr. Kimball is.himself a working"artist and conducts a fine arts school in Buffalo, where he combines the study of the history and the prac- tice of painting at the same time. He believes the study of the history of painting invaluable to the working artist and himself draws greatly from the works of the masters in matters of technique and composition. A study of the latter in Renaissance Italian painting led him to the discovery of the organic and flowing linear move- ment ami, in particular, of several forms of composition used again and again by artists of that period The figure eight, which occurs frequently as the basis for the movement of com- positions, shows in many of these pic- tures how the totality of many flowing lines about an axis creates an or- ganic whole. Throughout his lecture Mr. Kimball illustrated his points with reproductions of the Old Masters, ac- companied by his own line analyses of the composition in each picture. As the artist sets to work on a picture he is faced with an infinite number of possibilities for filling the canvas, from all of which he must select the proi>er ones which, in com- bination, will produce a work of art. Types of line and of rhythm found in pictures are innumerable, but Ren- aissance artists for the-most part em- ployed a flowing line movement con- verging about an axis. In this form of composition the eye moves in one Continued on Page Five

Hockey drill to cure your slice
The most frequent driving problem is the dreaded slice. Steve Bosdosh, PGA Director of Instruction at The Members Club at Four Streams, shows you a simple drill to fix your slice once and for all.
If you're serious about becoming a better golfer, you need to find the right instructor. But how do you do that? PGA Master Professional John Hughes shares some thoughts on how to find the right one for you.
Sometimes the bravest play is the most conservative one, says PGA Professional Jon C. Wright. John Merrick proved that on Sunday, keeping his ego in check and laying up on the drivable 10th hole to win his first PGA Tour event.
Too many people play a hybrid like a driver or fairway wood. It is neither. And as PGA professional Rob Labritz illustrates, how you position the ball in your stance with a hybrid could make all the difference.

Journalist of ''Voice of America'' beaten in Azerbaijan
Last Tuesday, a security officer attacked Tapdig Farhadoglu, Azerbaijani freelancer journalist from the "Voice of America" , who was covering students' demonstrations in Baku.
According to the "Voice of America" the Chief of Security service of the University tried to break Farhadoglu's camera and gave him some punches and kicks. According to Farhadoglu, he escaped with minor injuries.
The article notes that Farhadoglu was filming demonstration of students of Baku State University, which was attended by about 500 people. Students were protesting against the new testing system. According to them, the new system forces the students to pay more tuition fee. Students protest against bribery and corruption that is widespread at the university.
"University Security Officers attacked the demonstrators and detained about 12 people. In addition, they used physical pressure on journalists, not allowing them to cover demonstration held by the student," the article reads.
Leadership of the "Voice of America" expressed its concerns about the actions of the police demonstrated towards Farhadoglu.

Kriven wrote:Hey, I need an artist for my webcomic, which at this point is simply an idea seeing as I can't draw. The preferred art style is dark-anime, like Blood+.
Genre: Horror
Time: Current
Settings: The settings vary from industrial areas to open fields to arctic terrain. In other words the characters will be shifting around the globe.
The surface idea is, werewolves. Werewolves and government experiments. You see for hundreds of years the Werewolves have been terrorizing humanity, though generally they are considered myths. There are two kinds of werewolves:
Werewolf - Basic mythological werewolves. A weakness to silver, there are several differences between my werewolves and commonly known ones: these can be killed by normal means as well as silver, however such a feat is extremely difficult. They can also transform at will, regardless of the moons position. The main group of heroes the story will focus on currently try to rid the world of werewolves.
Wolfites - Wolfites are genetic mutations of normal humans. They were created by the US government to serve in Iraq, but most of the experiments died before leaving the labs. Created from kidnapped humans and mutating their genetic structure to werewolves. There are only eight of them remaining. They are more vampiric in nature then normal werewolves, as the Wolfites are incapable of producing their own blood. Because of this, they hunt people and drain their victims of their blood. The eight Wolfites will die one by one, with only a few remaining to see the end. There is also an additional Wolfite-Like creature created later on.
The focus is on a team of, basically a free government dedicated to defeating werewolves. Through unfortunate series of events, most of this team is made up of civilians introduced throughout the story.
Jeff - Jeff is the suit-wearing leader of the squad that is the main focus of the story. He has an all-work attitude and uses a hand gun as his primary weapon. His last name is never revealed, it is not even known if Jeff is anything more then an alias.
Linda - Linda is the research member of the team. Early on she is transformed into a werewolf by a screwed up experiment.
Orion - Orion, or Ori, is the main character. Due to his interactions with the Wolfites, he is drafted into the team against his will. He becomes the most important player in the eyes of all parties involved in the story.
Haunt - Haunt is the Alpha of the worlds largest werewolf pack, however this information is not publicly known. He owns a pharmeceutical company called LivAr and is extremely wealthy. His goal is to control every werewolf in existance, a goal that can only be achieved by bringing about the Red Moon.
Those are four characters, but there are many others that will play significant roles to the story. Hm, I guess it's not a very good recruitment request, is it?
I will be writing scripts, in fact the only reason I didn't post one instead is because I'd like to know what kind of format to write it in, the format will be chosen by the artist. The reason for this is because I mostly write in descript paragraph format. what you would see if you opened a book, but I want to write in whatever format is easiest for my artist to understand.
Anyway, just e-mail me or something if you're interested or want more information.

How did you get your start doing interior designer work, and what career moves did you make to get to your current position? Do you need a particular educational background? |
Cacey in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 96 months ago |
My first freelance job I had out of school was actually from my internship at Bombay Company, its a Furniture and Home Decor store. I was an Assistant Manager at the time.A customer came into the store and I started asking simple open ended questions like a (client questionaire) and the conversation took off from there. I went to her home and sketched out a few ideas, got some of her ideas then did some research. After a few more meetings I re-spaced planned her living room, dining room and foyer. It was a great....I loved it and it was really informal and relaxing. The key to get experiance is to just be open and take control you no what your doing for the most part, yes there might be some things you arn't sure of but your client knows that your still a student. In this case it was my first job per say...so I did not charge, she offered and I replied "It was a great experiance to work for you, any time". I did just graduate with my BA from the Art Institute of Pgh, my client did no that I was in my 2nd year at AIP. Im currently in the process of finding a job in Hawaii. Hope this helps a little...

Rebecca Gomez in Lees Summit, Missouri said: I primarily do builder work since that is my major relationship but it spured off into individuals homes. Though exposure in model homes, I was approached by a high end furniture and accessory store to help teach a design 101 course. It also increased my exposure. . I am about to complete my BFA in Interior Architecture & Design and am interested in doing residential design for model homes.
Kevin in Boston, Massachusetts 84 months ago |
Thank you for your response. Do you ever work for homeowners directly and I would ask the same question - example: Living Room redo (average hours involved and how much client will pay on average)? Or just to help them "accessorize" and go shopping with them? Or any other common scenarios? Thank you,
Leisa Washington in Washington, District of Columbia 82 months ago |
Hi Rebecca! I am looking to change careers. I find myself looking at the programs on HGTV and decided to jot down what I am most drawn to. I am interested in becoming an Interior color assistant "if there is such a title" or maybe a kitchen or bath designer. I do like interior design but I am more interested in the color scheme and kitchen and bath design. Can you give me some direction or suggestions on part time jobs, internships, classes etc... I am at a total loss. Thank you for any assistance/direction you are able to give. Leisa |
Christina in Denver, Colorado 79 months ago |
Thanks so much for all your great feedback Rebecca! I am a color consultant and am looking to take my work to a bigger level and work with builders, school projects, etc. vs. just home owners.Any advice on how to get builders attention when i first contact them so I don't get the non-response or "that sounds great we'll keep you in mind"line? Thanks in advance and so glad I cam across this. Best of luck!!! |
Christina in Denver, Colorado 79 months ago |
Thanks so much for the great suggestions. I focus on paint color consulting more than anything so it's pretty straight forward in terms of selecting colors and working with their painters. Thanks again and hadn't even thought of wman owned builders! Great idea!!! |

Dear Rebecca - Thanks so much for sharing. Your insights are greatly valued as is your time & ability to share / mentor others. Thank you & much success!
SunshineDesign in Palm Beach, Florida 78 months ago |
To Ms. Gomez - You may get by in that bastian of design prominance known as Missouri without a design degree, but you would not be able to practice interior design in any state of consequence, say, Florida, New York, California, known for setting design trends without a design degree. I'm sure the builder you won your little award from wasn't Toll Brothers or even in the game with the K. Hovnanian's of the trade. Many people are good with colors and fabrics, that doesn't make them a designer and you are misleading those Dolly Decorators out there like you who think they can seriously make it without a design education. Shame on you. |
Adam in Vista, California 78 months ago |
I agree with SushineDesign that it is different in larger metropolitan cities, but Sunshine, you should be a little nicer. Remember, some of the most renowned artists, musicians and businessmen have no formal education. And there are more that have the education but have no ability to design whatsoever. Skill is skill, education just speeds up the honing of those skills if you have them. |
Adam in Valencia, California 78 months ago |
SunshineDesign in Palm Beach, Florida 77 months ago |
I never implied what your worldly & life experiences with tile was or was not. Your travelogue has nothing to do with the establishment of ones right to refer to themself as an interior designer, which was my subject on here. You & Adam must know each other. Both of you try to your justify your arguments on the emotional, not on thoughtful intellect & assessment of the objective facts in addition to the subjective. I'd be happy to compare my projects & yearly billing, & that of my Palm Beach colleagues, with yours any day of the week. You spin reasons & motives for my statements & your evaluation of my personal level of happiness to deflect from your own operations. Now, hmmmmm, is that a professional evaluation on my happiness and motives....oh, no, I guess not, you sited, "I read once about this type of person in Wired Magazine, they are unhappy, insecure and this is their one place in the world to be superior and put others down." I'm sure the American Academy of Psychology checks with this techno magazine before formulating their opinions. We all know how Wired Magazine is looked up to in the world of personality assessment. Why, it's the bible on the workings & motives of the human mind. Who needs facts when we have Wired to turn to for a through assessment of someone based on 3 blog postings. Are you serious!? Rebecca, just a little more insight for you, I have been President of my ASID chapter & for 3 years was Design Coordinator for our "Multi Millions Street of Dreams Homes," which included 4 homes valued at 1.5 million or more. That's how much I am disliked by others & feel the need to be superior on a blog site. My advice is go to school & get an education to be what you obviously aspire to be instead of trying to take the easy way
Adam in San Marcos, California 77 months ago |
For the record Sunshine, me and Rebecca do not know each other.
Christina Lubel in Hollywood, Florida 77 months ago |
Sunshine- Wow.. I came into this forum to learn some backround information on the field of interior design and I am saddened to see that there are people in this field that have nothing better to do than to humilate and bash other people. Sunshine, you must be sitting behind your computer enjoying the drama you are attemping to cause. But truth is; if you are even really a designer as you say you are you must be the most tackiest, low class one of the bunch. As a student and future interior designer I have learned nothing from you, and thank you. In terms of actually holding a conversation in this forum thank you Rebecca and Adam for sharing what you have experienced. I am guessing that Sunshine has had a really bad day or maybe even bad week for that matter. Sunshine you seem to have some more growing up to do, I suggest you get some psychological help. At no point in time was Rebecca ever saying anything demeaning, all she was getting at was her experiences, As an outsider to this conversation did I ever think she was trying to show "Dolly Decorators" as you stated an easy way in. How absurd! Also no need to elaborate on your choice of wording as if you are above anyone we get it... you are uneducated and have no class.
DP in New York, NY in Brooklyn, New York 77 months ago |
I am interested in changing careers into interior design. The type of job I'm thinking of is on an interiors team at larger, commercial, architectural firm. I am doing my due dilligence into schools, programs, and degrees. I need some advice regarding the ratio of level of education to job opportunity/income. I assume that a Masters Degree would be the safest degree to obtain so as to leave as many doors open as possible. However, the New York State requirements for certification only reference a combination of 2 years school and 5 years experience. Could I have just as many options open to me with an AAS in Interior Design + work experience. I guess what my basic question is is this: If I am state certified (by any means of obtaining through NYS rules) does it matter if I have an AAS or an MFA? If anyone knows the answer to this I would REALLY appreciate their advice. Especially if they were to know what types of candidates would work for a Gensler or a Leo A Daly etc.... Best regards to all! This forum seems to be a great resource! |

hello my name is melissa and my major is interior design i will be attending FIDM in jan.2009. i wanted to see if i can start an unpaid internship just to get my feet in the door. where would i start off at or who should be talking too. |
Jeanette in Eastern Iowa in Bellevue, Iowa 77 months ago |
Hi, Melissa When I interned I went back home and asked some of the local stores. I ended up interneing at a furniture store. It was alright I just don't feel I learned as much as I could have. I wish I had thought of looking at larger places and thought out of the box. If nothing comes to you open up the phone book. See what design firms are in the area, or smaller boutiques that let you express your creative spirit. But since you are just starting school it would be wise to find something that won't eat up a lot of your time. Believe me time matters when getting school projects in before the deadlines. Best of luck and I hope that you find a place that you are happy with. |
Kristen in Santa Barbara, California 77 months ago |
For what it's worth I am in my first semester at an interior design AA program here. I have already come across the possibility of internships for a huge hospitality design firm here and am going to meet with an interior designer of high-end homes to interview her about her career. I recommend this: I was amazed that I just had to e-mail her and she was willing to meet and talk with 'lil old me. Best of luck to all! |

Adam, I am sure everyone here can benefit from your words of wisdom and professionalism. Christina in Hollywood (neighbor!) I wish you the best of luck in school and afterwards!

AprilAries in Fort Worth, Texas 71 months ago |
I, too, would love to obtain a degree in Interior Design. I have applied and been accepted to an accredited university to get a BS in ID. My only concern is my age - almost 40. I know I'm not that old, however, I also know it takes time to build a portfolio, reputation, etc. in this field, and by the time I graduated I would be between 45-50. Would I stand a chance of ever making decent money in Design? Also, I live in and would be working in Dallas, which is definitely not Chicago, LA or New York, but there is a large Design community here. Thank you so much! |
designmamma in Boston, Massachusetts 70 months ago |
I am a student and freelance designer in Boston. We just had a baby and are looking to move to another city closer to friends and family once I finish my degree. Can I expect to enjoy a good interior design career in Southern Florida, Detroit Metro or Pittsburgh Pa? These areas are our options and we are having a tough time deciding. I don't want my career to be limited nor my creativity (I am already aware that concessions must be made to client preference).

Wouldn't it be so much better if you did make your dream come true? I am 38 and 3 semesters away from my B.F.A. in Interior Architecture and Design. Yes, I do think about graduating when I am over forty, but, for whatever its worth I am the happiest I have ever been, knowing I will get to design interiors for the rest of my life. From the practical stand point, NOW is the great time to BE in school - by the time I am done, the economy will pick up and it will be easier to find that first design job:)

Julian in Toronto, Ontario 69 months ago |
April/Tatiana I find myself in the exact same situation. I am 34 and contemplating a career change, I have never catered to my creative side - interior design is what comes naturally to me - I close my eyes and can conceptualize the space to the finest detail. What scares me too is my age, I would also be close to 40 and have the same legitimate concerns as to potential earnings and realistic expectations. How did you research your decision, I don't even know what an entry level position entail. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Julian |

Host said: How did you get your start doing interior designer work, and what career moves did you make to get to your current position? I am currently designing a tool to help Interior Designers and am looking for some help. The tool will be free of charge and will allow designers to upload photos of their projects, have them reviewed for possible building mistakes, search for professionals, find Materials easily, and post questions to building professionals. I have a website programmer, a marketing specialist and a printing shop that has offered discounts to help designers promote themselves, some of the deals they are offering are amazing. I have a few "seasoned designers" and contractors helping me in my project however I feel some of them have forgotten the obstacles they faced when they were freshly graduating from school.

There are many of you who commented above who are contemplating career changes. Turning your passion for decorating into a profitable career is very possible. It is important to keep in mind that you can have a successful and fulfilling career in either interior decorating or design. Which option is better for you can depend on many things and the best way to decided is to conduct research on both options and make an informed decision. Although interior decorating is not as heavily regulated as interior design, completing a certification program is extremely beneficial. Often you may find yourself entering a room and know immediately that something about the décor is off but you can't seem to find the words to express it. A training program will give you the technical background to confidently address client's decorating needs in a professional manner. This is just one of the many benefits associated with receiving professional training. One last thing to keep in mind is that age should never be a limitation. Having a fulfilling career in design or decorating is just as possible in your 20s as it is in your 40s, or even 50s for that matter. It's never too late to start!

Sunshine - woa! I also looked into this forum to get a little insight about interior design and was flat out shocked at your pompous attitude....I didn't realize people like you REALLY existed!!! The things you were saying sounded like they would come from the a$$hole character in a movie! Seriously I understand your concern and need to voice your opinions about Ms. Gomez passing herself off as a professional, but really!?! the way you went about this whole argument was outrageous! My advice to YOU grow up, get a life, and hop off your high horse... You obviously have some serious self - esteem issue, with your false bravado and holier - than - thou attitude. I sincerely hope I don't ever run into you or anyone like you in this industry....It would break my heart. Interior design is something I am relentlessly interested in and I have always shied away from because I feel inferior to some of the work I have seen and am afraid of having my dreams stomped on by people like you. How dare you go about as if you are soooo much better than all the "Dolly Decorators" out there instead of encouraging and imparting wisdom for people who are interested in the same field. Shame, shame, shame on you. Hope your accreditations, paycheck, and repertoire keep you company....I couldn't see someone as scummy as you having anyone in your life....You're pathetic |

Wow Sunshine....I don't meam to stoop down to your level but Sunshine-you are not! My My! I share all of the same sentiments as srg & MiMi above! First, how can one compare a physician to a decorator! Pompous is an under statement! Second, I ran in to someone who was a 1/8th as mean as you that was a designer...my work was chosen & published in Women's Day Magazine, a National decor magazine. The first interior designer I told responded with.."Oh, that's not a big deal now if you were in Architectural Digest that would mean something"! And I really consider myself a "humble" person, so I just took it in & through it over my shoulder. When the photo shoot came, the photographers asked "why" I wasn't making a big deal of this what I figured was just 15 minutes of fame! I told the photographer what the designer said to me...his response was.."Did you ask her how many time's she's been or has ever been Nationally published? I was like, "No"! He said well I guarantee you she hasn't & she's obviously jealous! He went on to tell me how pic's get picked & it's quite a process. I feel blessed as other magazines have bought & published my work, 7 national magazines & 2 books, & just a couple weeks ago I was on the cover of Small Rooms. When other designers, see me in magazines, or those who want to be designers or anyone w/ a passion for anything, for that matter! I encourage them to take that chance & put there work out there. I want others to experience what I did! I call myself a designer not a "dolly decorator"! In Oregon, you can call yourself an interior designer w/out a 3 to 4 yr degree! And up to just a few years ago you could become a member of the ASID w/out a degree. I'm just so sad for you! I just looked up your company & you have no web site, no portfolio of wk you've done & you sure spend plenty of time writing on this forum. Maybe you have too much time on your hands, & are just plain bitter. |
Cippy in Oregon in Gresham, Oregon 25 months ago |
Lastly, this forum is to help others who want to make a career out of Interior Design. There are pro's & con's to both ends of the spectrum of deciding to go to school or not. I think it's a personal decision. I did NOT get a 3-4 yr degree, I did get my CCB license in just wanting to learn things I wanted & needed to learn, I took a few college non accredited classed in decorating, & I am sure to carry liability insurance. Also, it depends what State you live in as far as if you can legally call yourself a "designer", or "decorator"! I'm not sure why everyone get's so caught up in the name! I agree w/ everyone here, either you have it or you don't. It's a lot of work & not often glamorous-like seen on HGTV! However, all the work pay's off when the customer breaks down in tears in sheer joy of the outcome! I was so excited & proud because I offer high school seniors to job "work shadow" me. The last gal' went to Texas & did her degree in 3 yrs, she came back to Oregon & works for a party planning company. Something I can't do w/out a degree...but so proud she can! |

Rediscovering the moral dimension of climate change
Jonathon Porritt
9th February 2015
Pope Francis's forthcoming statement on climate change could just revitalise progress towards significant emissions cuts, writes Jonathon Porritt. But more than that, it will open up the space for a wider spirituality to guide our thinking, and campaigning, on climate and other key global challenges. more...The Way of the White Cloud
Jules Pretty
31st January 2015
In his search for alternatives to consumerism and industrialism, Jules Pretty travelled around the world to find surviving nature-based cultures. In this extract from his book 'The Edge of Extinction', he tells of the Tuva people of the Siberian steppe - proud of their traditions and closeness to the land, but very much part of the modern world - strictly on their own terms. more...'Fake environmentalists' battle for Istanbul's last forest
Nick Ashdown
26th November 2014
After Gezi Park, another battle for one of Istanbul's increasingly rare green spaces is raging, writes Nick Ashdown - and this time it's on the city's Asian side. Demonstrators are holding a 24-hour vigil on the edge of an 'illegal' construction site at Validebag Grove - despite having been repeatedly detained and attacked by police. more...Crusaders and Zionists
Uri Avnery
12th October 2014
The words 'Crusaders' and 'Zionists' are appearing ever more often as twins, writes Uri Avnery - and there are astonishing historical resonances between the two. If Israel wants to avoid the fate of the medieval Crusaders, it had better start accentuating the differences, and become a true Middle Eastern state, rooted in the region's native soil and culture. more...Spiritual ecology: hearing the cry of the Earth

The circularity of Life
Jane Cull
4th November 2014
We must accept the reality that human beings, nature and cosmos are interconnected in a vast circular system, writes Jane Cull. To sustain ourselves on this planet, we must sustain the web of life of which we are part, and construct another kind of world that based on that understanding. more...Eating your ethics: Halal meat
Alicia Miller
22nd September 2014
Halal ritual slaughter has raised huge controversy in the UK press, writes Alicia Miller. But the far greater issue is farm animals' entire quality of life - as reflected in the Qu'ranic principle that meat must be 'tayyib' - good, wholesome and from well-treated, healthy animals. Is this something we can all agree on? more...Ours is a path of survival for the whole planet

17th June 2014
As the World Cup gets under way in Brazil, Yanomami shaman Davi Kopenawa told Liam J Shaughnessy about the very different world he inhabits, deep in the Amazon rainforest - a world of bright spirits, ancient knowledge, union with nature. And a world under threat. more...Despite 'progressive' politics, Latin America's indigenous veins are bleeding
Benjamin Dangl
1st May 2014
Left-wing, progressive politicians hold sway across Latin America, writes Benjamin Dangl. But defying their own 'green' rhetoric, they are committed to mining and other environmentally damaging development. Now they face growing resistance from small farmers and indigenous peoples. more...In Ecuador's Amazon, a small tribe lives under a dark, oily shadow

26th May 2014
A trip to the Achuar Indians of the Ecuadorian Amazon proved life-changing for Stephen Wallace. Their only desire is to enjoy what they have, and ensure that their children can do the same. But the threat of oil is casting a dark shadow of fear over their lives. more...We cannot save the Earth, unless there be peace
Winslow Myers
2nd May 2014
To tackle the world's most pressing problems, writes Winslow Myers - like climate chaos, insecurity, hunger, poverty and disease - we must build a life-affirming peace free of the Earth-destroying nuclear weapons whose dark shadow bears down on us all. more...Becoming co-creators in a world of natural beauty

William Naphy

A testosterone test measures the amount of the male hormone, testosterone, in the blood. Both men and women produce this hormone.
The test described in this article measures the total amount of testosterone in the blood. Much of the testosterone in the blood is bound to a protein called sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). Another blood test can measure the "free" testosterone.
Serum testosterone
A blood sample is taken from a vein. The best time for the blood sample to be taken is between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. A second sample is often needed to confirm a result that is lower than expected.
The health care provider may advise you to stop taking medicines that may affect the test.
You may feel a slight prick or sting when the needle is inserted. There may be some throbbing afterward.
This test may be done if you have symptoms of abnormal male hormone (androgen) production.
In males, the testicles produce most of the testosterone in the body. Levels are most often checked to evaluate signs of low testosterone such as:
In females, the ovaries produce most of the testosterone. The adrenal glands can also produce too much of other androgens that are converted to testosterone. Levels are most often checked to evaluate signs of higher testosterone levels, such as:
Note: ng/dL = nanograms per deciliter
The examples above are common measurements for results for these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different specimens.Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Increased testosterone levels may be due to:
Decreased testosterone may be due to:

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass—Open Surgery
Pronounced: Roo-n-y gas-trick bye-pass
En Español (Spanish Version)Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a surgery for obesity. It changes the stomach and small intestine to cause weight loss by:
- Restricting food intake—creates a small pouch to serve as the stomach, so you cannot eat as much
- Making the body unable to absorb as many calories from the food—bypasses the first part of the small intestine, where many of the calories from food are usually absorbed
The surgery treats severe obesity. A calculation called body mass index ( BMI) is used to determine how overweight or obese you are. A normal BMI is 18.5-25.
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a weight loss option for people with:
- BMI greater than 40
- BMI 35-39.9 and a life-threatening condition or severe physical limitations that affect employment, movement, and family life
The success of gastric bypass surgery depends on your commitment to lifelong health habits. If lifestyle changes are made and maintained, the benefits of bariatric surgery include:
- Long-term weight reduction
- Improvement in many obesity-related conditions
- Improved movement and stamina
- Enhanced mood, self-esteem, and quality of life

Stay cool in any room with a wall air conditioner from Sears
If the mercury on the thermometer outside starts to climb and you don't have central air conditioning, you can still stay cool and comfortable. While window air conditioners are a great option for many people, if you need to cool a room that has no windows, a wall air conditioner is an excellent solution. Sears offers a wide variety of through-the-wall air conditioners so you can find the one that best suits your needs.
The unit size you need is dependent upon the size your room. If you select one that's too big for the space, you'll be using excess energy and wasting money. On the other hand, if the air conditioner is too small, it won't effectively cool your room. Knowing the dimensions of your space before selecting an air conditioner is essential.
In-wall air conditioners are a more permanent solution for climate control than portable air conditioners because they fit into a galvanized steel sleeve for secure, weather-tight installation. Many in-wall ACs have features such as programmable timers, remote controls and digital thermostats to help make it simple to keep the temperature just right. In addition, some wall-mounted air conditioners also serve as heaters so you can make the most of your investment and put them to good use all year round.
