Student Portrays Holocaust Suffering. Holocaust drawings by University of Nebraska at Omaha student artist Rhonda Rurg will be exhibited in the Center's Omaha Gallery West, beginning Monday, March 13 and continuing through March 21. The drawings reflect the sensitive feelings of a young artist of today, as she explores the theme of persecution. The human form and mixed-media techniques enabled Miss Rung to make her own interpretation of the plight of the Jews during the years of World War II. "I feel it our duty to those martyred six million to preserve and cultivate our sense of horror and hand It down, so the world will never forget The drawings I wish to leave untitled, in memory of the countless masses of unmarked graves. I hope they speak for themselves," Miss Rung explained. She is a Fine Arts Major who will do her thesis in painting. She Intends to pursue graduate work hi painting Native Nebraska after her graduation In December of this year.

Don't Cry Over Life Conrad J.KoUer Reviews the Movie, Julia. Julia is a powerful and disturbing film that must be seen. There is no question about that. The perplexity of this movie lies in the lesson it delivers to us. It speaks about a Platonic friendship between two women. It addresses love in its most unique complexity. It tells us that life is sacred. However, it goes further. Julia summons the thoughtful person to ask himserror herself, about the purpose of one's life. She goes beyond even one life, and questions society, that collection of individuals that makes our modern achievements possible. The movie explores power. Both force and strength can achieve It. Julia, the person and the film, show us that the former is real while the latter is greater. One of the main characters in Julia Is Jewish. Yet, enigmatically this doesn't seem to matter. Her Jewishness is not obvious or important. Because it U not central to the film when by rights it should be. one wonders why. Is it coincidence? After all, the film talks of Germany in the Nazi era. Perhaps the way the film deals with this fact is conscious. ' We, as American Jews it might be telling us, are noble/ stubborn, creative, successful, and at the same time a little removed from the realities of the world.
EmanuelAx fall he will return to Europe for a concert tour of England, Germany and Italy. Ax has recorded five albums, and his all-Beethoven album was named by Time Magazine as one of the "five best recordings of the year." In addition, Stereo Review named Ax's recording of the Dvorak Quintet, performed with the Cleveland Quartet, to be tbe record of the year for 1977. Tickets for the concert are available at the Brandeis Ticket Offices, Joslyn Ticket Office and at the door the night of the concert.
