Black films . . .
Continued from Page 1
Cripps' new cinema presented a completely new vei
sion of the black as an individual with a separate culture.
If the work of these black filmmakers about blacks is
credible, then Hollywood creations like Richard Pry or and
Sydney Poitier are inaccurate depictions of blacks; they
are blacks given white roles, Cripps said.
Street Comer Stories, directed by Warrington lludlin,
is set three blocks away from Yale University, where an
isolated black society differs from any university crowd.
A lively group of men exchange "stories" drawing better
laughs than had it been staged.
The other four films range from seven to 14 minutes,
and all focus on interpretation rather than plot.
"These films were written by blacks, for black audi
ences," Cripps said. "During World War II, the black press
created a logo to express general black policy for the war.
It was the double-V, taken from Churchill's V-for-victory.
"The double-V stood for a victory over facisi.i in
Europe at the price of a victory over domestic racism.
These films are the very beginning for accurate and sym
pathetic treatment of blacks in Hollywood. They need to
be recognized."

A violent night storm. A
mysterious taven on a lonely
road. A group of strangers
a delirious woman in black, a
nameless vagabond who
revels in the "glorious"
storm, a harried governor, his
wife and daughter and his
daughter's fiance seek
shelter. A crash of thunder. A
flash of lightning. A gun shot!
Anything can happen before
dawn.

Advisor says center
needs student interest
A postive showing of student support for the construc
tion of a new recreation center is needed before the plans
for the center can continue, a representative from the
UNL Recreation Advisory Board said Sunday.
Jim Brockmann said the board and ASUN's Special
Topics Committee have been investigating various plans
for the center, but cannot continue unless students show
their interest in the project.
Brockmann advised students to write letters to Richard
Armstrong, vice chancellor for Student Affairs, and to the
Daily Nebraskan to show their support for the project.
Teresa Zeilinger, chairman of Special Topics Commit
tee, said a slide show of recreation centers at other Big
Eight schools and various colleges in the country will be
shown at tonight's ASUN meeting.
Anyone interested in seeing the slide show can come to
the meeting, or the Recreation Advisory Board will pro
vide the show to individuals and groups on request, she
sakl
Zeilinger said the Special Topics Committee is trying to
get the question of whether a new recreation center
should be built on the ballot for the March 4 ASUN
election, and that issue will be discussed at tonight
meeting.
