Two student art exhibits are cur
rently on display in the main lounge of
the Nebraska Union. One is a photo
exhibit by College of Architecture
senior S.K. Boo and the other is a UPC
sponsored student photo contest.
Using photos from his travels around
the world, Boo said he is using this
exhibit to promote environmental con
servation. He said he is using photos from both
natural and man-made settings to show
both harmony and discord in architec
ture's relationship to nature.
He said it is important for architects
and planners,. as well as the general
public, to keep nature in mind when
they erect man-made structures.
Included in the exhibit are color
photographs from many places around
the world, including Japan, Mexico,
Hong Kong and the United States.
Boo's exhibit is sponsored by the
Malaysian Student Association, Har
man's Camera and the Nebraska Book
store.
But mostly by his parents, Boo said.
He said in the future he would like to
work in photography but mainly he
uses it as a way to record his observa
tions. The UPC Arts Committee is sponsor
ing the second exhibit, a photography
contest around the theme "Nebraska
in Pictures."
Cindy Rohren, committee chair, said
all photos were taken after Jan. 1 of
this year.
She said the 35 photos in the contest
are divided into four categories
sports, landscape and wildlife, people
and color.
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners
in each category will receive prizes of
$50, $25 and a camera shop gift certifi
cate respectively, she said.
She said that on Friday a "People's
Choice" contest will take place from
noon to four, when the public will be
able to vote for their favorite picture.
Rohren said the main purpose of the
contest was to recognize student work
in photography.

Nicks concert: all porked-out glitz,
whirls, twirls. . .and empty music
By Charles Lieurance
Senior Reporter
It's difficult to review a concert
where the performer's wardrobe
seems somehow more significant
than the music. A porked-out Stevie
Nicks, who flaunted her tassles and
doily dresses last night at the Bob
Devaney Sports Center, was at least
four layers of corporate glitter and
glam, the sum total of her appear
ance. Nicks' voice can be gorgeous, one
of the few hoarse female whiskey
voices in existence. If she had some
real songsmithing talents, she could
be, say, a Tom Waits or Dylan. Unfor
tunately Nicks' songs are a lame
series of image-conscious poses.
Although it has become almost a
cliche, Nicks' is either A) in a drug

voice but so little direction that her
spacy stage persona, her whirls and
twirls, can be blamed on her being
terminally lost in the marketplace.
Nicks was not bad. "Leather and
Lace," "Seventeen," and "Stop
Draggin' My Heart Around" all drew
enthusiastic response from the
crowd of just under 7,000 people.
Certainly these are pleasant pop
songs sung by a distinctive voice.
There's a lot to be said for pop
music, for AOR, MOR and the al
mighty Top 40. The songs are acces
sible and hooks abound in song
after song. No one feels left out or
alienated and fashion and lifestyle
are secondary to the communal
energy lift felt by thousands of peo
ple together in a stadium. Nicks was
simply missing the energy it requires
to sustain the pop song existence.
The best moments of the show
came when Nicks' band stripped
down their stadium rock bombast to
showcase her rough emotive voice.
"Rhiannon," a Fleetwood Mac clas
sic and one of the first in a long line
of "witch" songs Nicks has loosed
on the world, stripped the instru
mentation down to piano and French
horn.
