nions smorgas
bof
How ya gonna keep'em down on the
farm once they've had a whiff of the
entertainment smorgasbord the Union
Programs people have laid out for this
fall?
The main course is films: Weekend,
Special and Foreign.
Thirty-five already are scheduled to
run before semester break. In addition a
Buck Rogers serial will run on Friday of
the first 12 Weekend Film presentations.
Weekend Films will be shown each
Friday, Saturday and Sunday at an
admission price of 75 cents. Initially they
will be shown in the Union Small
Auditorium, as in the past. But in the
works is a move to Henzlik Hall (formerly
University High.)
It has a larger seating capacity with a
uniformly clear view of the
screen something not always available in
the small Auditorium. The Weekend Film
Series will move to Henzlik as soon as
projection equipment can be readied.
Films run the gamut from "Alice's
Restaurant," which may appear as little
more than a bit of nostalgic whimsy
these days, to "Camelot." There seems to
be something for everybody, and the
series may be able to please just about
everybody just about all the time.
In addition to the 14 regular weekend
features, the Weekend Films gang has an
eerie, chilling Halloween Special lined up
for the night of "coal black cats and
witches hats."

It'll stand your hair on end with a
quick succession of "House of Wax,"
"House of Usher," my most unforgetable
character, 'The Blob," and "Rosemary's
Baby."
The Special Films Series opens with
the Jean-Luc Goddard work, "Wind From
the East," and ends with the notorious
'Trash." All the films should be well
worth the $1 admission price.
Six foreign films will be shown first
semester. Foreign Film tickets for the
year will be available at the Union
Program Office, a Union booth and in
dormitory cafeterias and Greek houses
until Sept. 26.
Foreign Film ticket prices for
students, faculty and staff are $8.80; for
other students, $9.85; for patrons,
$11.90. The ticket is good all year for 15
films.
The series has moved from the
Nebraska Theater (may it rest in peace)
to the Stuart and to a new
night-Tuesday. Films will be shown at 7
and 9 p.m. In addition, a free film will be
shown at 4 p.m. Sept. 26.
Besides the onslaught of cinema, the
Union Programs Council has many other
activities on order.
Jack Anderson, well-known newspaper
columnist, will speak Thursday, Nov. 2.
Anderson is best known for his
investigative work which resulted in a
Pulitzer Prize last year. He had become
somewhat notorious recently for his
erroneous report that Sen. Thomas
Eagleton had a recoid of drunken driving
arrests.
On Nov. 30 the Union is sponsoring a
speech by noted feminist Betty Friedan.
The Coffee House series, popular in
the past, will present two concerts during
the fall. On Oct. 25 and 26, White Eyes
will perform. They were here last year
and met with positive response.
Don Theye will perform Nov. 30 and
Dec. 1 .
In addition, on Nov. 18 one of the
finest blues performers in ihe country
will be on campus-Muddy Waters.
In the jai,t couple of years the Union
has presented some fine blues performers
including Son House, Danny Cox, and
Bukka White. Fortunately concerts
chairman Jack Hart deemed reaction to
llit;m wuitliwliik- and scheduled Muddy.
If style's your bay, ihey've got that
loo. Sept. 18 will be the date of the
Nebraska No, 1 Style Show.
And Nov. 8 and 9 will bo a Ski Show.
Union Program director. Art Thompson
said ihe show will feature booths, prizes,
movies and "all sorts of stuff" in addition
to the styles.
