The pontiff is scheduled to visit San Antonio on Sept. 13 during his tour across the United States. The Jail Arts and Humanities Ad visory Committee on Tuesday orga nized a group to spearhead the art project and raise money for costs, which could run up to $17,000. “Many (inmates) are Hispanic Catholics and this is the only way they will be able to participate in the papal visit and take some pride in their participation,” said Nivia Gon zalez, director of the Jail Arts Pro gram. Plans call for hanging the huge near Our Lady of Guada- picture lupe Catholic Church, where the pope has scheduled a public appear ance. The fiber art is made by pen ciling a design on a poster or board, then applying strands of yarn over the design. Gonzalez said a small portrait of Out Lady of Guadalupe took about 200 hours to make, but that work should go much faster now that a system has been developed. She said the project could involve as many as 1,000 inmates working for four months. A prototype would be drawn and then enlarged and di vided into sections. Each floor of the jail would get a panel. The project grew out of the Jail Arts Program, which has provided art classes in the jail for the past four months. Gonzalez said the classes provide theraphy for inmates and can help them develop marketable skills. “Some of them show a great deal of talent and could pursue art-re lated fields,” she said. Father Larry Stuebben, statewide coordinator for the papal visit, en couraged organizers of the art pro ject. “T he fact that this effort will be the result of the toil, planning, ded ication and work of an entire com munity, and this community will be the inmates of our local detention center speaks strongly to the univer sality of (the pope’s) mission and visit,” Stuebben said in a letter.

Through planning laboratories, the students conceptualize, outline, plan and execute projects which are submitted to the University’s Center for Urban Affairs, said Dr. W. G. Roeseler, the center’s director. The center, created in 1984, is de signed to provide urban affairs ex perience and information for Texas cities, counties, state agencies and private groups. Agencies and groups give grants to the center to complete projects ranging from city incorporation planning to architectural nature studies, Roeseler said. “The projects we do tie in directly with educational studies,” Roeseler said. “Our goal is to maximize op portunities for faculty and graduate Each planning laboratory contains one or two faculty members as well as the needed number of students to carry out the project, he said. After being accepted into the graduate program, students file em ployment applications with the cen ter, he said. Acceptance into the pro gram is based on academic standing and background. “We have more job opportunities than we have students who want to take on this kind of job,” Roeseler said. Among the center’s projects is a study of San Antonio’s Riverwalk, in which researchers studied the prob lem of large, downtown buildings blocking sunlight to the vegetation along the walk. Architectural guidelines were recommended to help provide sufficient sunlight, Roeseler said.
