Many people buy art. But few peo
ple buy artists anymore.
Joe Hutchinson, a professor of en
vironmental design, sort of leases
them for a year.
He selects the artists for the artist-
in-residence program at Texas A&M
University.
The program began seven years
ago, he said, and has proved to be a
valuable addition to the students and
faculty of the environmental design
department. Now about 200 artists
apply for the job each year.
Paul Suttman, a bronze sculptor
from Roundtop, is currently the
artist assigned a studio in the
Architecture Building.
The artist in residence teaches a
class in environmental design, works
independently with students, and
continues to exhibit his work, includ
ing at least one show at Texas A&M.
Hutchinson said that the artist is
employed at Texas A&M as a salaried
faculty member and paid on the basis
of his experience. He usually makes
the same amount as an associate pro
fessor, about $22,000 to $27,000 per
year.
Suttman is the 10th artist in resi
dence.
“He is a man of considerable talent
and experience,” he said.
Suttman teaches a course on “Re
lationships in Sculpture.” He’s also
working on a number of projects that
will be on exhibit in Rudder Tower
sometime in February.
Hutchinson said that he sought a
sculptor this year because the en
vironmental design department
doesn’t have an instructor on staff
who teaches sculpture.
Over the years, Texas A&M has
had several types of artists in resi
dence, including jeweler Charles
Loloma, painter Joe Eastman and
ceramicist Biz Littell. Hutchinson is
considering hiring a woodcraftsman
for 1981.
Hutchinson has screened and
hired all 10 artists in residence. To
find the University’s artist, he
attends annual meetings of the Col
lege Art Association. There he scans
prospects and usually invites one to
Texas A&M for an interview. He said
he generally looks for an artist who’s
good in his field.
Hutchinson said the artist-in
residence job allows the artist an
opportunity to develop some new
ideas.
“Every artist who has stayed here
for any length of time has changed
his concept of thinking,” he said.
In the contract that the artist
signs, he is required to leave one
piece of his work at Texas A&M. The
pieces of art are displayed in the en
vironmental design office in the
Architecture Building.
B-CS unemployment
lowest across state
Being in last place usually isn’t
good, but Bryan-College Station re
sidents should be happy. They made
the bottom of the list for unemploy
ment in the state.
Mid-September unemployment
here was 3 percent of the civilian
labor force. That’s the lowest jobless
rate of the month for any metropoli
tan area in Texas, according to Lon
nie H. O’Dell, dist
ict director of the Texas Employ
ment Commission.
The labor force moved upward to
40,600 in September while the num
ber of employed residents rose to
35,700 and unemployment declined
to 1,200.
In comparison, the unemploy
ment rate across Texas averaged 4.6
percent and the overall U.S. unem
ployment rate was 7.1 percent.
A comparison to September 1979
reflects an increase of 1,800 or 4.6
percent of the Bryan-College Station
labor force and an expansion of 1,400
or 3.8 percent in total employment.
The Bryan office of the Texas Em
ployment Commission received 658
new applications for job-seekers and
renewed 264 in September. The
office made 2,260 referrals to job
openings and filled 547 vacancies.
Non-agricultural wage and salary
employment rose to 35,700 in Sep
tember. This represents a growth of
840 job (2.4 percent) over the month
of August. The growth in employ
ment was shared by both the manu
facturing and the non-manufacturing
segments.
Manufacturing gained by 2.6 per
cent over the month as both durables
and nondurables added workers.
Fabricated metal products, other
durable goods and printing and pub
lishing showed growth. All other sec
tors of the manufacturing segment
either dropped slightly or remained
unchanged from the previous
month.
A gain of 2.4 percent was felt by
non-manufacturing as local busines
ses increased their employment in
order to accomodate the increase in
customers that was caused by the fall
semester influx of Texas A&M Uni
versity students. All sectors of non
manufacturing experienced growth
over the month with the exception
of the construction and finance, in
surance and real estate sectors.
