The Ann Arbor 5!reet Art Fa r Artist: An Exhibitionist By Profession. - Vincent Van Gogh Ann Arbor Art Fair: Annual gathering place for a huge conglomeration of exhibitionists. Little kids have their faces painted, folk bands pop up spontaneously on every streetcorner, jugglers and fire eaters are all anxious to demonstrate their arts. The art: a mishmash of fine art, graphics, photography, pottery, crafts and jewelry. Some of it is painstakingly prepared, much of it is mass-produced by the more commercially-minded artists. A lot of other commercializing takes place throughout the three days fraternities rent parking spaces on their lawns, South U becomes permeated with the smell of popcorn and beer, stores put their summer surplus out on the streets. Still, the spectators flock from all over the state, themselves creating one of the most interesting exhibitions. Art Fair 21

LOf TV IDEAS Dilemma: How do you squeeze three freshmen, their stereos, rock collec- tions and three weeks worth of dirty laundry into a dorm room that was built to be inhabited by one? Answer: Lofts. Innovative dorm dwellers come up with unique space saving designs others buy them from their apartment-bound friends. Though the University has weight and safety stipulations, it is up to the boarders to design lofts that won ' t col- lapse on them while studying or pin them to the ceilings in the night. An- other added advantage to loft life: the upper-loft dweller is exhausted enough to sleep soundly after making the ascent, and has to be wide awake to turn off the alarm the next morning! 22 Lofts
