Color is an important aspect of Schiffhauer’s work.
Unlike many artists, he chooses a traditional route,
mixing his own colors, leading to vibrant, textured
works with a unique and unusual look. Schifthauer cre
ates pieces with dramatic composition he hopes will
have a lasting impact on viewers.
“I hope the images will be strong enough to have
emotional impact, not just a neat trick and nice color,”
Schifthauer said. “I hope it goes deeper than that. I
hope the images will remain with them beyond the
exhibit.”
Saslow said this exhibit is accessible to everyone.
I hope the images will
be strong enough to have
emotional impact, not just
a neat trick and nice color
... I hope the image will
remain with them beyond
the exhibit.”
Dr. Robert Schifthauer
Architecture professor
“Art is something people can come to to talk about
important things, just like music,” she said.
One of Schiffhauer’s pieces in the exhibit is called
“Mother and Child Together.” The work is a leather col
lage created from leftover scraps from upholsterers and
shoe makers. This, in Prince’s opinion, is a statement
that art can be anything.
Beyond the exhibits, though, Schifthauer is an edu
cator. Unlike many educators, Schifthauer strives to
truly make an impact on his students. Saslow said his
office is always full of students. She said he really works
hard to know his students outside of class and has got
ten a lot of students into good graduate schools.
“He is a wonderful teacher —we are lucky to have
him,” Saslow said. “All students with artistic ability at
A&M eventually make their way to Bob.”

Providing shelter
Students offer homes to unwanted
pets given by local humane society'
i
By Rhonda Reinhart
The Battalion
TT ust like a book can be a gift that keeps on giving,
I so can a pet who is not spayed or neutered.
1 Kathryn Bice, executive director of the Brazos
Animal Shelter, said there is a pet overpopulation
crisis facing society right now.
“Pet overpopulation really cheapens life,” she
said. “It makes people casual about their pets.
The saddest statistic for us is that there is a large
volume of suffering from pet overpopulation.”
Alex Schwarm, one of over 200 volunteers at
the animal shelter, said the most important thing
people can do to end the overpopulation crisis is
to spay or neuter their pets.
The shelter is burdened with litters of puppies
and kittens because people do not spay or neuter
their pets.

Eric Krocka, a senior finance major, relaxes with his
prospective pet Luke, a rottweiler-Austrailan shepherd mix.
“We live in a throwaway society, and so®I
people will not take responsibility for their pels, |
Schwarm said.
The Brazos Animal Shelter opened in 1983and
serves 10 counties surrounding the Brazos Valley.
Bice said there was nowhere for animals to go
before the shelter opened.
“We have up to 200 animals at any given time,”
she said, “but in a pinch, we know we can hold
more than that.” toy
The animal shelter provides homes for stray
animals. Unwanted animals are evaluated for
adoption. Prospective pet owners are interviewed
to assure that the lifestyles and needs of the peo
ple and the animal will be compatible. toer
Laura Hon, a senior international studies
major, said she knew if she got a dog, shev
get it at the shelter.
“I picked out my dog, Chloe, and adoptedhei
all in the course of an hour,” Hon said. Thtfo
people at the animal shelter were really helpful
and efficient. They’re really careful about plat
ing animals.” der
Mary Haislet, the animal shelter’s human car
education specialist, said many students comelt
college and want a pet because they miss the: pus
pets from home. ing;
“One thing I would tell students is to listenttshe
the shelter and don’t be impulsive,” she saifsit
"Having a pet when you’re a student can be
cult. We don’t want the pet owners to be unhap
py, or the pets to be unhappy.”
Bice said more than 8,000 animals come inlsco
the shelter per year. bla
“We have over 1,000 claims of lost pets ait
over 2,000 adoptions a year, but over 4,000 an
mals come in unadoptable,” she said. “Ourjobi
to find homes for the remaining 1,000.”
Bice said many people decide to dump unwani
ed animals rather than bring them to the shelK
because people know euthanasia occurs there.
"If animals are dumped in the country, theywi
get here anyway,” she said. “If people will briH:
them here first, the animals will have a chance.”
Schwarm said a lot of people have a negati
stereotype of the animal shelter.
“Euthanasia does occur there, but the people atth
shelter are trying to save the animals,” he said. "Tf f
people that are miming it (the shelter) are trying®
make sure the animals have happy, healthy lives.
Hon said she recommends the shelter to anf
one who is looking for a pet.
“There is so much bad treatment of animals
she said. “For some animals, the shelter might!®
their last chance.”
Throughout the year, the animal shelter hold*
special events to help the animals of the comi#
nity, including an Adopt-a-thon in May, whic^
a national and international event.
“Our goal is to reduce euthanasia rates by 90p?
cent in the next 50 years,” Bice said, “and we canot®
do that with everybody’s help.”
