Debra Winger said that she's only been
in Nebraska once. That was just driving
through, doing her own form of research.
Winger lias been cast as Emma Horton
in the Paramount Pictures release "Terms
of Endearment," which begins its Lincoln
filming today.
Winger's character is married to Flap
Horton, played by Jeff Daniels. Daniels'
character is that of a professor at Kearney
State College.
Winger, a native of Ohio, said, "I'm
a Mid-west person at heart."
Winger said that her role would be
the toughest so far in her career.
"This is the most challenging role
Eve ever taken on," she said. "First of
all because of the age change."
In the movie, Winger's character evolves
from the age of 16 to her early 30s.
Commanding almost as much attention
at the Wednesday afternoon press con
ference as Winger was a Lincoln boy.
Troy Bishop has been cast as Winger and
Daniels' son in the movie.

woman in his life, Bishop quickly replied,
"No and yes.
"She's a nice person to be around "
he said. "In the role, she isn't what I'd
call a nice person."
Explaining life in the movies, Bishop
said that there were a lot of "hassles."
Along the trials and tribulations of being a
star, Bishop said, the early morning hours
were the hardest to deal with.
"I have to get up at 6 or 7," he said,
"and then usually work until dusk."
As Bishop is 10, the problem of school
work was naturally discussed.
"I have a tutor on the set for three
hours a day," Bishop said. "But I still
get behind a little."
Winder said she hoped "Terms of
Endearment" would be PG. But writer,
director and producer James Brooks
disagreed.
"It will be a very soft R," he said.
"There are certain words in it that make
it an automatic R."
The crew will be in Lincoln for about
five weeks. Shirley MacLaine and Jack
Nicholson are expected to join them in
early May.

Due to an oversight (mine), one of the
Master's thesis candidates was not reviewed
in Monday's Daily Nebraskan story on the
current Sheldon MFA show. The artist is
John Storm.
Storm's singular contribution to the
exhibit in the gallery is a wire and nylon
braid piece called "Motive," but his real
thesis show is in his studio at Richard's
Hall.
The motive for "Motive" was a col
league's dare to create a work for the show
in the 24 hours prior to the opening. The
piece is two high-tension wires running
across the Great Hall, bridging the north
and south second floor galleries. The work
is an interesting study in parallel lines and
airy, segmented dissection of space. The
wire wrappings give the piece the look of
musical notes on a staff, but if this is a
score, the performer would best be John
Cage.
metric abstractions, and look like Stellas
falling apart.
Rebecca Ross' big paintings have a
certain Francis Bacon painterly flair to
them. Her "Clothesline" abstraction is my
favorite work in the show.
Laura Bentz's small intaglios have a
beautiful Japanese calligraphic sense to
them. Her sensitivities exploit the subt
leties of the medium, particularly in her
use of color.
Lucy Herman exhibits great charcoal
technique in "December" and
"November."
Jennifer Dicke Fischer's oils are sub
dued mosaic patterns that would be easy
to live with, a good test for most art forms.
Claire Briggs' plaster corset tickles the
imagination.
In other fashion designs, Virginia
Walsh has created a beautiful Japanese
looking quilted coat, Dovie Hein's three
dresses display a variety of styles and a
great attention to detail, and Theresa

Storm's all-encompassing sculpture in Richards Hall.
"Motive" is only a hint of what you'll
find in Storm's studio in Richards Hall.
There, his magnum opus, "Reconciliation:
Progress Report" hangs from eight ropes.
He spent nearly an entire semester prepar
ing his studio for the work. In a 30-by-30-foot
room, he has hunt a 24-foot frame
of 4-by-4s and strung a patchwork of
aluminum and nylon braid. Descriptions
can do this piece no justice. Fortunately,
Storm has opened his studio to the public
through May 6. It's located in Richards
Hall 107. It's a great place to just sit and
stare for a while. Stop by if you get a
chance.
The senior show is located on Sheldon's
second floor south galleries through May
6. It contains work from all of UNL's
art departments, excluding pottery.
Briefly, I'll list some of my personal
favorites from the show.
Ron Furrer's large "Dionysian" and
"Apollonion" canvases are fun, drippy, geo-

John Leboeufs day-glo tapestries take
the medium in a new direction, particular
ly his angular crime victim in "Urban Life
Red Snowflake."
There are also several nice fabric designs

here" (ah. . .praise be the writer who
coined that phrase), as well as works in
interior design and weaving.
These are just a few of the more strik
ing pieces 1 found in the show. It is well
worth seeing, but it's curious there are no
sculptures or ceramics exhibited. Also an
inexpensive catalog for both the MFA and
BFA shows would be nice, as I know this
would stimulate sales of student pieces.
But regardless of these minor shortcom
ings, and according to a partial survey,
this is one of the best student shows in
recent years.
