UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Arts & Leisure 'Love's stirs poignant memories Reviewer By MARY MITCHELL Tones of romanticism, sentimentality and bittersweet youthful love pervade "First Love." It's not a great movie by any means—just an unnocious bit of entertainment. However, the producers seemed to know their own limits and made the movies too horrific to avoid borrows and just long enough to grasp the poignancy of a first romance. The characters, Elgin Smith (William Katt) and Caroline Hedges (Susan Dey) romp about a countryside that is surely in New England with its covered hills. And the scenery of panoramic shots of the scenery undercut the story line and keep the film moving. Taken from a short story by Harold Brodkey, the film lacks depth. The movie's focus is on the crafty collectors are for from carefully crafted. One keeps thinking that there will be some delineation, but none occurs. Yet none is needed; the story's charm shines through it. ELGIN AND CAROLE in fall in love and eventually part. It's the old rich girl and poor boy routine. Her background is barely revealed and causes some confusion at the midpoint of the film. All the viewer knows that her father died mysteriously in her youth and that she is having an affair with a married man. Elign is a soccer player, highly reminiscent of Ryan O'Neal's hailey-playing hero in "Love Story." Yet "First Love" is not another "Love Story." It is neither schmaltzy nor does it have soap opera overtones. And if it does bring a few tears to the eyes, it is only because it stirs the memories of youth. The film even has a few funny moments. Eligin's neighbor is caught rummaging through Eligin's dresser, but he is looking for a lost cufflink. The neighbor's girlfriend, who feigns snobbery, denounces some crude language while she has a necklace and dwarves it and chuckle through a symphony as two violins lose their places.

Travel options numerous for springtime getaways a caravan A package trip is one economical way to travel and can save the traveler the time and expense of making separate travel and However, students who are determined to get away from it all can find various travel options in a wide price range. Spring break is five weeks away, but it isn't too early to start making vacation plans. In fact, travel representatives and area travel agents said this week that, depending on the type of vacation, it might be too late to make certain travel arrangements By LINDA FINESTONE Staff Writer The SUA Travel Service is offering three pre-arranged trips during spring break, March 11-18. A trip to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., March 11-18, costs $266. The cost includes round trip airfare on a charter flight from Kansas City and New York. See www.fortlauderdale.com. THE TOTAL COST of an SUA trip to Padre Island March 11-19 is $135. The cost includes round trips to the airport, transportation, motor lodging and other day trips to the island. Deadlines to sign up for both trips are 5 p.m. today at the SUA office in the Kansas Union. Mike Peterson, SUA travel committee chairman, said earlier this week that places were still available for both trips. Although enough people have signed up for the Padre Island trip to ensure meeting costs, Peterson said that at least 86 people must sign up to enable the Fort Lauderdale trip to go. Peterson said a total of 98 spaces were available for the trip; but if 86 were not sold by 5 p.m. today, the trip would be canceled and the money would be refunded to students. A third SUA trip to Winter Park, Colo., is already full. Peterson said more than 280 people were invited for the March 12-18 trip. That trip costs $15 and includes round-trip bus transportation, from Lawrence to Winter Park. The $20 round-trip bus, skoot and pole rental for five days. MARK PENDER, supervisor of domestic consultants for Maurinpour Travel Service, said that although most package ski trips were booked well before Christmas, some trips were still available. "There are still possibilities for going, but the possibilities aren't nearly as great." Pender said. Pender said a package ski trip to Keystone, Colo., including round-trip airfare and lodging for one week, would cost an average of about $250 a person. He said trips to Vail or Aspen would average from $20 to $30 more. Like ski trips, package trips to warmer climates vary in price, according to destination and the different options in the package. For an average of $80 a person, you could spend one week in Acapulco. The package includes round trip airfare from Kansas to Acapulco for $145. AN EIGHT-DAY trip to Fort Lauderdale, including round trip airfare, hotel and car rental, is available for $330 a person. Pender said although such trips were economical, it would be difficult for students to find many deals now. inform for students to mail their comments "It'd be difficult to buy into a package this late," he said. "It is important to buy equipment that is to organize your own group trip. One KU student is organizing his own trip at a cost that seems to be reasonable." beat any in town. Bill Ekey, Hays senior, said he was planning a ski trip to Breckenridge, Colo., for March 13-17 that would cost about $100 a person. Figured in the price is the cost of driving to Colorado, food, equipment rental and four days' lodging at a rented condominium. Unlike other trips, Ekey's trip cannot fill up. He said anyone could join the group until the last minute. in the group that last month. "We're not turning anyone down," he said. ALTHOUGH ONE travel agent said that March was generally too early to find many cruises, the KU Sailing Club will cruise to the Bahamas during spring break. Club members will be able to sail by boat or boats from Florida for $185. Membership in the club is still open. A possibility for students who want to wander as far as they can in a week is SUA's Wilderness Discovery equipment rental. Sleeping bags and sleeping pads, cook kits, lanterns, coolers and other equipment can be rented by the day. Canes can be rented for $7 a day. Tent rental is $1.60 a day for a 2-person tent, for a 4-person tent and $2.50 for a 6-person tent. Gene Wee, programming assistant for SUA, said reservations for equipment should be made at the SUA office as soon as travel dates are known because most equipment is rented out one week in advance. STUDENTS CAN arrange their own transportation and lodging separately at commercial airlines, Amtra and bus companies. Although spring break is one only week long, for those who don't mind spending more time traveling, Amtrak offers some special amenities. Effective until May 22, the班 trip excursion fare from Lawrence to Chicago is $47. Regularly, that ticket would cost $70. A similar excursion fare is available for a round-trip ticket from Houston to Houston. The ticket, which regularly would cost $102, costs $95.

Signs asking for rides and riders to locations all across the United States are on the board, which is located inside and to the right of the entrance. Staff Writer Bv JERRY JONES Artists look at art in new ways Did you ever have the urge to paint a frown on the "Mona l'isa?" Or to draw a moustache on "Whisler's Mother?" * Gauche, Perhaps, but those uters exemplify the current exhibition, "Artists Look at Art," at the Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Art. Here, with a mixture of reverence and parody, they pay homage to the works of some of the classic and neo-classic works of art. The threat of the exhibition is the influence of earlier art on recent art confined to works created within the last 15 years. OTHER RE-CREATIONS allude to more ancient works. The sculpture "Roman Wolf," created in 500 B.C., was recast by Jason Seley in 171 using automobile bumpers as his medium. Some of the adapted works are themselves recent recreations of contemporary art forms, notably exemplified by Richard Bernstein's 1974 work, "Lichtenstein at the Guggenheim." Its *source* was "Whaam," a 1972 creation of pop artist Roy Lichtenstein depicting a war World II tank might be portrayed in a panel lifted from a DC comic book. Some artists are simply involved in finding new ways to solve spatial and perceptual problems presented by the old masters. Some make subtle changes for a point of parody, while others grandiosely modernize a traditional conception. Whichever way the artist travels, the original artwork is never disrespectfully treated. Yet the concept of modern lifestyles influencing the traditional artists makes the largest impact on the casual viewer of the exhibits. By comparing the contemporary work with a photograph of the original thoughtful portrait, the modern adaptation becomes much more striking. Examples of the originals and their recreations include: DIEGO VEAZQUEZ'S "The Rokeby Venus," painted in the 17th century, depicting a reclining nude figure, with her derriere to the viewer, gazing at her facial reflection in a mirror held by an angel. In Claudio Bravo's "1917" Venus, the angel holds a portable television, instead of the mirror, and the shot is a close-up of the derriere. Jan van Eyck's 1443 "Giiovanti Arnolini and His Bride", depicting Giiovanti standing stiffly, holding the hand of his bride, has been reworked by Robert Colecscott into "Natural Rhythm". a 1975 work showing the same stuffy Giiovanti. but with a much darker bride, closely resembling Butterfly McQueen. Michelangelo's "Deposition," 1602, depicting Christ being ministered to by four women and a man has been hauntingly transformed into "The Killing of Frank O'Hara." 1966, by Alfred Leslie. Leslie has taken away Michelangelo's characters' robes and beards and replaced with jeans, tank tops and swimsuits in a stark piece of action. There are many other exhibits in many mediums, some bad, but many'more good. In general, the exhibition offers a refreshing opportunity to appreciate both the old and the new. WILLIAM HARTNETT'S "After the Hunt," 1808, has been sharply mimicked by Kathy Calderway in her 1976 version, "After Hartnett." Hartnett's original depicts several fully feathered birds, an unskinned rabbit, a powderhawk and other hunter's paraphernaia tacked to an oaken wall. On Calderway's background wall is glued the tattered remnants of a Sunday fumies page, with a brassy skinned and very much dead Donald Duck hanging from it. The exhibition will run through March 15 in the fourth floor-south gallery of the museum. The old with the new An untitled collage by Peter Sankt caught the eye of Barbara Hemnessy, 1310 Tennessee St. , as she toured the "Artists Look at Art" display in the Helen Foresman Spencer Staff Photo by ELI REICHMAN Museum of Art. In this display, contemporary artists have re-interpreted the works of some of the masterpieces of the past.
