ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT
A&E Editor's Note
by Stephanie Gimenez
Just glancing at the events
and diversion available in
September excites me about the
1987-1988 social and cultural
year ahead of us. Events in the
F.A.B. and in theatres and gal-
leries in Austin offer so' many
opportunities for students to be
entertained and become
"cultured" simultaneously. Un-
fortunately, many students do not
utilize these opportunities. The
A&E section of the Megaphone
will inform the public on up and
coming events. This will enable
students to easily collect on these
opportunities.
Besides helpful calendar and
ticket info, this section will give
readers insightful articles on
music, art, artists, musicians,
books and events. I am going to
continue last year’s columns:
"Disc Discussion," "Movie
Chatter," the coverage ofj FAB
events, and interviews with
student and faculty artists and
musicians. Also, readers should
look forward to book reviews,
personal commentaries on,
fashion and art forms, special
feature articles, and much much
more.
Unfortunately, I will not be
able to reveiw, preview, and
comment on every book, flick,
concert, for exhibiitoin. I need
some volunteers to help write.
Even if you only write one review
in a year, you will have
contributed much.
This newspaper is by the stu-
dents, for the student body as a
whole. The more people who
contribute articles, the more di-
verse and interesting the news-
paper will be. If you are in-
terested in contributing to the
A&E section of the Megaphone
please contact Stephanie
Gimenez, Box 6225, ext. 1089.
Movie Chatter
A Room With a View
/^viewed
by Stephanie Gimenez
A Room With a View is now
stocked in most video stores
(even in Georgetown), so now ev-
eryone will have the chance to
view and review it
Based on E.M. Forster’s
novel, the movie in one word is
as a "charmer." It possesses all
the elements which good Films
should have: comedy, artistic
value, excitement, an involved
plot, intrigue, romance, and a
lesson on human nature.
The movie has more to offer
than just good Film effects. The
novel and Film shows the
contrasts between the cultures of
two peoples - the British and the
Italian. The Italians simply
live...full of passions and without
reservations. The English live by
the codes of etiquette and social
standards. The Italian may die
for passion whereas the
Englishman would rather die than
to admit to their passions.
The story focuses on Miss
Lucy Honeychurch, a young,
naively beautiful British girl who
Laguna Gloria
Sponsors New Works
An annual exhibition devoted
to works by the city’s most in-
novative artists, New Works by
Austin Artists continues in its
eighth year. The 1987 exhibition
brings to 61 the number of Austin
Artists whose works have been
introduced in the series. New
Works opens September 4 and
remains on view throuj-’
November 1. A reception
Saturday, September 12 from 8 to
10 p.m. is open to the public.
Selections for New Works are
based on following the develope-
ment of A an artist’s work for
several years. Assistant Curator
Monica Kindraka visited ap-
proximately 60 studios to do
initial research. Free Gallery
Iks on Sunday at 2:00 will be
given throughout the exhibition
by the participating artists.
tours Italy with Aunt Charlotte, a
doting old maid. Lucy’s
experience in Italy greatly
influences her, whether she
would like to admit it or not. She
must ultimately sort out her
experiences and find a happy
medium between passion and
rigid social codes. She is the
protagonist who grows and blos-
soms and matures from a sheep-
ishly brooding girl to a pas-
sionately fulfilled woman.
Other characters who also de-
serve to be mentioned are Eleanor
Lavish, the eccentric novelist,
whose gossipy nature puts Lucy
into a muddle. Mr. Beebe, the
kind observer and intermediary.
Cecil, an intellectual genius who
is an idiotic failure at life. He is
also one of Lucy’s suitors. And
lastly the Emersons, George and
his father, who are free thinkers
and not too timid to say as they
feel. They are appalling to the
British, yet appealing to human
nature. They capture the heart of
Lucy Honeychurch and teach her
an invaluable lesson on how to
live.
