THE ELOQUENT EYE
Given this level of diversity, how can “public art” be defined at Vanderbilt and what roles does it play in the life of the university and the medical center. As a result, modern art requires work on the part of the viewer to give meaning. One of the most important pieces of public art on campus is also one of the lesser known.

THE LONGROAD HOME
Beginning in the summer of 1966, this young man from the north side of Nashville entered the student body at Vanderbilt. Even at Vanderbilt, there were nights when he lay alone in the dorm and marveled at the icy silence of his classmates. They had seen it on television in the '50s—the riots in Little Rock and the surprising heroism of nine black children.
Now, in young Perry Wallace's mind, the hopes and opportunities created by the movement suddenly seemed more personal and real. He enrolled in the summer of 1966, took a few introductory courses, and had problems almost from the start. In the end, white students were different, of course, no matter how decent they intended to be.
They had met each other in the spring of 1967, a casual conversation in one of the dormitories, and their disillusionment began to spill out. But they shared in the growing impatience nationwide that was sweeping through the African-American community—the mingling of anticipation and anger that inevitably followed the civil rights movement. I said, 'Thanks, but no thanks,'" he recalls, ''because I'm sick and tired of this race.
I would not have hired me," he said years later, "a person who is not together." But Brown saw something more than the temporary anxiety.
SURVIVALSINGING for
SURVIVAL
Backed by local music, dance and drama, they are spreading the word about the dangers of the disease, how to get it, ways to treat it, how to prevent it. Intrigued by the lyrical content of these tunes, Barz returned to Nashville and met with the dean of the Blair School, Mark Wait. One third of the total population, including more than half of the female population, is illiterate.
Ninety-six percent of people live on less than $2 a day and the average birth rate is seven children per. Of the total population, 1.1 million Ugandans are living with AIDS and each year more than 110,000 die from the disease, which is mainly transmitted. Uganda's women's movement, one of Africa's oldest and most dynamic, was galvanized around issues of domestic abuse, rape and HIV.
The anger of the activists, and the telling grief of women across the country who nursed the sick and helped neighbors cope, was a harsh reproach to promiscuous men. Barz says, "If they're going to get men to listen to them, they've communicated to me that one of the most successful ways to rest is to put these messages within a cultural context that men will find attractive. Since there's only one doctor for every 20,000 Ugandan citizens, traditional healers - often referred to in Uganda as witch doctors - have begun to play a more prominent role in educating the public.
A group effort known as THETA—Traditional Healers Together Against AIDS—has brought together witch doctors and Western medical practitioners to discuss the roots of the disease, treatments, and us ladies, staying behind the houses.
Barz illustrates the problem this way: In many of the remote villages, women are in a powerless position, even if they practice safe sex, because fishermen will come up from Lake Victoria and either buy young girls or rape them. In areas of extreme poverty, where dense vegetation makes the roads impassable, where there is no electricity, where no one has ever heard a broadcast from Museveni, where many people have never seen a medical doctor or nurse, and where most of the villagers can neither read nor write, local women must be resourceful so that their stories can be heard. Part of Barz's mission was to record the songs of school children in Uganda's capital, Kampala, as well as in the countryside.
But many of the teachers told me afterwards that in order for this information to stick, it has to be ingrained very early. Invited to a national music event while in Kampala, Barz sat in the audience as the director of the Ugandan AIDS Commission personally thanked Ameri-. However, while others have abandoned their noble research efforts, Barz has returned to Uganda year after year, traveling to the far reaches of the country to hear their stories and record their songs.
Instead, the music rose from the ground where so many victims are buried, grew in the hearts of the HIV-positive women as they cared for their deceased sisters' HIV-positive children, and emerged from the distant rhythms that echoed through the rain and beckoned the villagers to continue.V. Nor did Dick anticipate that some of the children he befriended would affect him so deeply that he would shed tears when it was time to leave. Many of these young people have come from other areas of the country to seek work or to escape slavery, or because they have been orphaned by AIDS or abandoned by their parents.
One of the goals of KAYDA is to provide these children with skills for independent survival.
Strokes of Love and Kindness
At the end of the session, a man emerged from the group and presented Dick with a goat.
