Warhol exhibit
premiers ut the I^m e
Pop artist and super celebrity Andy Warhol will be at the Lowe Art Museum for the world premiere of his latest work, "Ten Portraits of Jews of the 20th Century.”
The exhibition will open with a preview reception for patrons on Saturday, Sept. 6, from 8 to 10 p.m. Reservations at $25 per person, are necessary and may be made by calling Beth David Congregation, 854-3911, or the Lowe, 284-3535.
On the following day, Warhol will also be at the Lowe from 2 to 4 p.m. to meet his fans and sign autographs. The Lowe will have Warhol s newest books available in the Museum Store. He will autograph the books, Campbell soup cans, Briilo boxes or other items that guests might bring. For this special occasion, an admission of $2 will be charged.
The exhibition is being brought to the UM under the auspices of The Fine Arts of Beth David, in cooperation with the Barbara Gillman Gallery and the Lowe. In early October the exhibit will open in Paris and at The Jewish Museum in New York.
It includes acrylic and silkscreen portraits of Sarah Bernhardt, Louis Brandeis, Martin Buber, Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, George Gershwin, Franz Kafka, the Marx Brothers, Golda Meir and Gertrude Stein. 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.
The- supermarket series was followed by portraits of film stars and other celebrities, mostly members of his inner circle of aquaintances—Liza Minnelli, Truman Capote, Marilyn Monroe, Yves St. Laurent and Elizabeth Taylor
His last exhibition, "Portraits of the 70 s” at the Whitney Museum in New York, drew crowds that came as much to see the artist as to view the works.
Rabbi and Mrs. Sol Landau and Mr. and Mrs. Julius Spector are honorary7 chairpersons of The Fine Arts of Beth David. Toby Ansin is chairperson, and Lotte Landau Glover is vice chairperson. Roberta Shevin is chairperson of the Warhol exhibition.
Hours at the Lowe are noon to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, 2 to 5 p.m., Sunday and 5 to 8 p.m., Wednesday. The galleries are closed on Mondays. Admission is free.
Housing shortage hits sindents and faculty
The University of Miami has not escaped the effects of the tight housing situation in Dade County7.
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.
UM housing officials are especially concerned about those out-of-town upperclassmen who didn't make advance Continued on page 2.
