Many have been widely critiqued and are extensively analyzed in Church’s own Gardens Are for People, as well as in articles and books by others. Other Church gardens are less documented and known, but all offer valuable design lessons about coordination with the site and residence, composition of forms, use of plants and structural materials, and manipulation of outdoor space.

Church and Garrett Eckbo, among others.

Symposium.
“Southeastern Indians and Mixed Race Identities.” 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Chapel. Sponsored by history department. 542-6300.
The Georgia Consortium of Historians will hold its annual symposium at UGA this year. The program features two of the most distinguished historians of Southeastern Indians, Theda Perdue and Claudio Saunt, who will discuss their recent work on the mixed race identities among the Cherokees and the Creeks.
Theda Perdue, who earned her Ph.D. at UGA, is professor of history at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. She is the author of several books on Cherokee women, the Cherokees and slavery, and most recently on “Mixed Blood” Indians: Racial Construction in the Early South, published this past fall by the University of Georgia Press.
Claudio Saunt, associate professor of history at UGA, is the author of the award-winning book A New Order of Things: Property, Power and the Transformation of the Creek Indians, 1733-1816. His current work focuses on several generations of a Creek Indian family who intermarried with whites and blacks, thus becoming members of different racial communities in the late l9th- and 20th-century South.
Perdue and Saunt will discuss their work from 10:30 a.m. to noon. From 1 to 4 p.m., four UGA scholars who also work on Native American topics will participate in a panel discussion on the issues raised in the morning talks. They are Charles Hudson (anthropology), Timothy B. Powell (English), Jace Weaver (religion) and Bridget Anderson (English and linguistics).

The Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in 1923 as the Hungarian State Symphony Orchestra. After World War II the orchestra began to tour abroad and by 1952 its name was changed to the Hungarian National Philharmonic.
Conductor Zsolt Hamar attended the Béla Bartók Music College in Budapest and was then accepted into the Franz Liszt Academy of Music, where he graduated with first-class honors in music theory, composition and conducting. In 1992 he was named assistant conductor of the Franz Liszt Music Academy, and in 1997 he became conductor of the Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra. He was named permanent conductor of the Hungarian National Philharmonic in 1997.
Hungarian pianist Károly Mocsári came to worldwide prominence in 1984 after winning prizes at international competitions in London, Barcelona, Athens (Greece) and Montreal. In 1986 he won the prestigious Liszt International Piano Competition in Budapest.
