Address Name Address By LAURA KEIDAN The University Museum of Art, never the most popular tourist attraction on campus, has made a serious bid to change its image. The work of Frank Stella, inter- nationally acclaimed painter and print maker, has come to Ann Arbor, and area art aficionados think this could help the museum's reputation immen- sely. "THIS SHOW very much puts us on the map," said Museum Director Evan Mauer of the newly installed Frank Stella Prints: 1967-1982. "The vibes are so good. This will help us get more big shows .. .it shows what a great univer- sity museum can do." The exhibit, which opened Saturday night, has 83 prints, and takes up all of the second floor exhibition gallery. About 500 people attended the opening, and about 50,000 are expected for the exhibition's two-month stay, ac- cording to Mauer. "It's a real coup to get something this major in Ann Arbor," said Lois Baru, a museum administrator and tour guide. "The exposure the museum is getting is fantastic," she added. "The support from the community is amazing." PROFESSOR Richard Axsom, of the University of Michigan at Dearborn, approached Stella with an idea for the print exhibit several years ago. Said Stella: "I didn't think it was a good idea at the time, but as I made more prints it began to make more sense. Then the University got funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and it made sense.'' After its stay in Ann Arbor, the 'show will travel across the country and even- tually end up in New York's Whitney Museum. While the Stella exhibit puts the museum's current modern art collec- tion in a good night, Maurer admitted that the permanent modern art collec- tion is not "the best." He said the enormous expense of "quality" modern art has made it hard to acquire good contemporary pieces. IN ADDITION, Maurer said it would be hard to justify making expensive acquisitions with the economy in its current shape. The opening of the exhibit, however, did coincide with -an improvement in the museum's Asian Galleries. A $3,000 renovation of the gallery, which con- tains oriental paintings, pottery, and furniture, was completed a week before the Stella opening. According to Maurer, the museum's Asian Collection is one of the best in the world. The renovation, Maurer said, was done to make the presentation more natural, by displaying the art on Tatami (rice) mats, and by recreating a 19th century Chinese scholar's study. THE STUDENTS who saw the exhibit Were, in general, impressed. "I like the fact that they have art happening now," said LSA junior Claira Lieberman. About one third of the people at the opening were students-the rest were a mix of University faculty and culture seeking Ann Arborites. "I like the way it's set up," said city art dealer Claire Spittler. "It's much bigger than I expected-it actually fills the room. I'm very impressed with the show." But, as can be expected, not everyone appreciated Stella's abstract prints. Said Nathan Hayes: "Some of his work doesn't seem to take much skill."

His first experimental transmis- sions were no more than a few feet. But, within a quarter of a century, he had advanced his system to the point that a radio message sent from England could be received in Australia. E-Systems scientists and engineers continue to expand the technology he began. Today, communications equipment designed and developed by E-Systems engineers is used extensively around the world for line-of-sight or satellite communi- cations, digital communications and applications requiring micro- processor-based teleprinters, tactical radios and microminia- ture HF VHF and UHF equipment. In addition to communica- tions, E-Systems engineers are solving marny of the world's toughest problems in antennas, data acquisition, processing, storage and retrieval systems and other systems applications for intelligence and reconnaissance. Often, the developed systems are the first-of-a-kind.

After a period of silence to remember the less fortunate people of the world, Dreher read from a church publication and the group talked about their per- sonal experiences of the week and their opinions about the church and its ideas. Another church member, Massoude Radmanesh, is a Ph.D. candidate in electrical engineering. He credits the church with his success as manager of his co-op house. ' I had never been' a manager, but I feel confident now," he said. 663-6771 I L- I 0l Wir *l'Z 4.iirk AI W / -MV dd
