One of Elizabeth Catlett's linotypes could horrify viewers by depicting the aftermath of a lynching, the rope around the victim's neck held taut by the murderers' boots. And in the next room, a statue by Catlett of a mother and child would flood viewers with the memories of a maternal embrace. Catlett's sculptures and prints became symbols of the civil rights movement while championing the dignity and humanity of ordinary people. At the time of her death Monday at age 96 in her home in Cuernavaca, Mexico, she was widely considered one of the most important African-American artists of the 20th century.

ELIZABETH CATLETT has been classed as an African-American artist, a woman artist, a Mexican artist, a sculptor and a printmaker. The operative word for this major figure in North American art, born 84 years ago, is artist.So the 50-year retrospective of her work at the Baltimore Museum of Art may qualify as the annual show of African-American talent and themes for Black History Month that has become a fixture of American cultural institution life. But it is also the exploration of a major artist whose work is found in the BMA's permanent collection.

Speaking at a speed that rivaled the computers he lauded, Lowell B. Catlett gave Carroll County a vision of the future Friday.tTC "It's a seamless life in a seamless world," said Dr. Catlett, a professor of agriculture and business at New Mexico University in Las Cruces, during his fast-paced lecture at the Agricultural Appreciation breakfast that kicked off Farm-City Week in Carroll County.Farm-City Week, sponsored nationwide by the American Farm Bureau, reminds people that farm families and those who live in cities are interdependent.

One's got speed and the hardest shot; another has finesse. A third is happiest passing the ball, while the fourth, by consensus, "is the team's best all-around player."Meet the quadruple threat that is responsible for generating 31 of the 33 goals the Cardinal Gibbons soccer team has scored in its first 10 games.Better yet -- try to stop them from putting the ball away."A lot of the things we did last year, we were one-dimensional," said junior striker Robert Holderfield, who is the Crusaders' fastest player and leading goal-scorer with 10."

Maryland had to put its Gator Bowl travel plans on hold yesterday, and the Terps have only Virginia Tech to blame. Gator Bowl officials were prepared to extend an invitation to Maryland after its 26-24 victory over North Carolina State on Saturday night, but Virginia Tech's unexpected 34-27 loss to Boston College threw a monkey wrench into the plan. The Gator Bowl, which traditionally pits an Atlantic Coast Conference team against one from the Big East Conference, wanted a Terps-Hokies matchup, seeking to bill it as sneak preview of next year's expanded ACC. But Virginia Tech's loss may turn out to be West Virginia's gain.

As Dr. Christina Catlett leaves the Johns Hopkins Hospital trauma center each evening, she tries to shake the day's searing images - the drug overdoses, gunshot wounds, heart attacks and other heartbreaks. She wants to be able to sleep. "As I drive out of Baltimore City to the county, I almost literally let all that emotion drain out of my body, and let my mind go blank," Catlett said recently. As a result, she commonly remembers little about the scenes that stirred her to tears or anger.

COLLEGE PARK - As it turns out, Maryland's football team won't have to wait until the weekend to find out its opponent in the Gator Bowl on Jan. 1. Gator Bowl president Rick Catlett ended the suspense with a trip to Maryland yesterday, announcing during the Terps' regular Tuesday news conference that West Virginia will receive an invitation, regardless of the outcome of this weekend's games. "Legally, because of contractual obligations, we may have to wait to make that official, but your opponent is going to be West Virginia, Coach," Catlett told Maryland's Ralph Friedgen.

MORGANTOWN, W. Va. -- Mount St. Mary's waited until later in December this season to launch the toughest part of its schedule on the road.But the shifting didn't alter any results.The Mountaineers ran into their third straight heavy favorite last night and dropped their third straight lopsided decision, 100-76, to West Virginia at the Coliseum.After opening with a 3-1 record at Knott Arena, Mount St. Mary's has lost at Georgia Tech, Florida State and to its namesakes, the Mountaineers, without really offering a challenge.
