Richly colored shapes and original drawings are superimposed on the silk-screened image to provide the viewer with a psychological and esthetic insight into the personality of the subject. A major exponent of the Pop Art movement of the 1960’s, Andy Warhol is one of the true masters of modern art. He was propelled to instant fame, fortune, and notoriety by his portraits of Heinz ketchup, Briilo, and Campbell soup containers.

On the plus side, it’s exp^ected that all UM housing will be filled to capacity. On the minus side, UM officials are worried about returning students who did not make reservations by the March 22 cut-off date and about new faculty members who may find mortgages and rents out of their reach. Anyone who has housing available and would like to rent to UM students or faculty is asked to call the Residence Halls Office at 284-4505. Dr. Robert Redick, associate director of residence halls, says 4,409 single students can be housed in University dormitories and apartments. In anticipation of this year’s overflow though, officials have increased accommodations for 88 students by converting lounges in 960 and 1968 Towers into temporary dorm space with bunk beds, upright closets and portable desks and dressers. Accommodations for another 150 students will be available at the University Inn and Howard Johnson’s Motel across from the University. Students will pay the regular UM housing fee for the motel accommodations with the University paying the difference. Redick says that while many students at first object to living at the motels Student;» survey sparse listings on residence hall bulletin board. because of a feeling of isolation from their fellow students, they soon become accustomed to color television and housekeeping service. Last year, he says, some students were housed in the motels through most of the fall semester They are moved onto campus as space becomes available. Three years ago UM residence halls had an 85 percent occupancy rate. In 1979-80, it was 97 percent. Redick attributes the change to the large influx of people into the area, the conversion of apartments into condominiums, higher rents for available apartments, landlords who are less willing to rent to students, and the significant improvement of facilities and programs available on campus. The University also has housing for 375 married students, but this too is filled and there is a long waiting list. Redick says international students have a particularly difficult time with housing as they often don’t have cars and there are not many rental units within walking or biking distance of the Coral Gables campus.
