Madison Munro - 2020 January 30

Today I was able to get access to the MOH file where all the Jason books are suppose to live permanently. It took a bit of time for all of the files to transfer from the drobo, but they're there now. I scanned three of the Jason texts today, and found an increase in photography throughout the books. The photographs were often of places around Salem and on Willamette's campus. Other works of art included etchings, prints, and graphite sketches. I noticed a recurring theme of the female body in many of the art pieces. Not many of them had titles or the names of the artist, but I would be interested to see if it were primarily men or women submitting these images. Many of them were bodies without faces, which makes me question the nature of the study. There was one mosaic piece from the 1973 book that looked a lot like Charles Manson. It was a man with shoulder length dark hair and those wild eyes. He would have been in jail by then so I wonder if that could have been the inspiration for the mosaic. There was a poem about Vietnam urging the reader to stop reading because people are dying and don't you care? Needless to say many fascinating finds today.
