As Bob Marley would say, "Gene and Roger citicize it, the Friends real ize it." Founded four years ago, the Friends membership has grown to 330 and is rising, according to the group's secretary, Peter Reinkordt. Reinkordt attributes much of that growth to the attention the group attracted during a film and lecture marathon last March featuring Rainer Werner Fass binder's 15-hour "Berlin Alex anderplatz."They showed the film in two hour blocks with a couple of lectures and German dinners in between. "It (the film) called attention to the fact that there was a group interested in film and wanting to do something about it," F.einkordt said. The Friends also have gotten a boost from the film talk series introduced this semester. That series offered lectures and dis cussion with foupfilms: "Carmen," "El Norte," "And The Ship Sails On" and "The White Rose." 475-1655 If 4664488 GET A HANDLE ON OFFICE GIFTS MUGS The Morning After Mug, Family Mugs: Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa,Occupational Mugs: Plumbers, Boss, Secretary, Cartoon Mugs, The Big Cheese, World's Greatest , Playboy Mugs, Scottie Mugs, Teddybear Mugs, Heart Mugs, Plain Mugs, "Hot Bod" Post Cards, Chip & Dale Calendars & Cards, Playing Cards: Budweiser, Coors, Coke, Novelity Signs & Books: "I'd Rather Be 40 than Pregnant," "Rules For The Office": "All Employees Must Love Their Job!", "Top pers:" for desks, counters, sills, bars, & shelves; "Workaholic," Playboy Enterprises, Mugs, Cards, Ashtrays, Gag Gifts; Graduation Pills, Glasses (with foreign objects in the bottom), Bloodsuckers, Desk Accessories: Pen Holders Knick-Nack Boxes, Perpetual Calendars, Handy Toolmate Desk, & Booklamps, Desk Organizers: Calendars, Binders, To Do Lists, Day Schedules, Animal Back Rollers, Book Savers, Beat The Draft (Stops drafts under doors) and Much Much More . . . .
