Film awaren By TERRY DUGAS Motion pictures are in this year as film awareness spreads across college campuses and the nation as a whole. Two manifestations of the cinema awareness appearing on the USC campus are the growth of movie cults and the develop ment of accredited courses in film experience. There are several director cults and even genre cults developing. For example, there is a lurking body of horror addicts on campus, dedicated to the establishment of a horror festival. Perhaps of more interest to the serious cinema student is the presence of a three credit course in Film Experience. This program has grown to include three sections of Film Experience and a godson in the German department covering expressionistic German films. The interest has been so great that Mr. Gary Davis will be arriving in the spring to set up a. Baccalaureate degree prog ram in Film Direction. As the popularity of films has grown, so have the number of organizations catering to that popularity.

Off campus, Mr. Mike O'Donell, Advertising and Promotion manager for Irwin Fuller Theatres reported that the Gamecock I and II theatres in Cayce are being booked with the discriminating movie-goer in mind. O'Donell said, "Columbia Theaters, Inc. are in the process of trying to arrange a fine films festival at the start of the second semester." There are also intentions of booking classic films of Charlie Chaplin and W. C. Fields in double fea tures. To increase the opportunity of USC students to view fine films, Irwin Fuller Theatres, along with the University Union, is sponsoring the sale of discount ticket cards. For an initial purchase price of $1, one card may be used repeadtedly at the Gamecock I and II Thea ters to obtain tickets for $1. The card is good for all films shown there, except for very rare exceptions. Between the activities of the University Union Films Com mittee and the responsiveness of Columbia theatres, USC stu dents have an unprecedented chance to view fine films. BLOOD DONORS NEEDED!
