The Columbia based group wants people, especially those from Barnwell Co., to protest this move by the Nurlear Regulatory Commission (NRC). If the proposed plan goes into effect, Allied-General Nuclear Services will store up to 400 metric tons of uranium in Barnwell Co. The ultimate aim will be to reprocess the nuclear waste. Environmentalists say, however, that shipping the 2728 Rosew (SOUTHERN (ROCK HAPPY HOUR 7-8 PM BriefS Brefs materials is dangerous, andtha the possible costs are too great. This situation would lead to higher consumer prices, they say. Any member of the public may protest the action. The NRC would then hold public hearings con cerning the move. Deadline for public response is August 6. Interested persons should contact Environmentalists, Inc. at 782-3000.

The Russell House University Union Cinematic Arts Committee plans to show each film twice a night beginning at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. All showings are free to the Carolina Community. "San Francisco," scheduled -to be shown this coming Tuesday night, is considered by. many to be Gable's finest acting performance next to his roles in "Gone With The Wind" and "It Happened One Night." In this 1936 film, he was cast as Blackie Norton, a cabaret owner in the Barbary Coast who is mean, sexy, and very hard to tame. Jeanette MacDonal stars as a singer who comes into his Paradise nightclub to reform him by seeking a job there. In the typical Gable fashion, he submits her to the indignity of revealing her legs. "San Francisco" is also interesting as the first Clark Gable-Spencer Tracy acting tandem, in this picture, Tracy portrays the traditional role of Blackie's close friend, Father Tim, formerly in separable childhood buddies. During the course of the film, Tracy tries to reform Gable's sinful ways; first through friendly persuasion and the glory of God, and then through the moralistic coaxing of Jeanette MacDonald. Both attempts fail. One of the most thrilling special effects to be viewed on the silver screen was the 1906 earthquake. It is a shattering spectacle, one of the truly great cinematic illusions; a monstrous, hideous, thrilling S~ Classif: The Gamecock classified advertising FOI department is open from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Mon Fri. in Room 317 of the Russell House.

"Call of the Wild" is the second special Clark Gable feature to be shown Tuesday, August 12, in the Golden Spur. The plot of the novel had been distorted in the screenplay though, where Buck, the loyal dog, was no longer the center of the action; now occupied by the Clark Gable-Loretta Young team. However, the storyline follows the ad ventures of Gable and Buck as they oppose crooked gamblers, avalanches, and the primitive hazards of the gold-rush fever that swept Alaskan wilderness. With the exception of four days shooting, the whole film was made on Mount Baker, Washington, 5,000 feet above sea level, one of the highest locations ever chosen for such a feat. The film expedition included one hundred players and technicians. Snow plows worked day and night carving over 65 miles of road to make way for the equipment. The temperature, often 10 degrees below zero, was so cold that it froze the oil in the cameras. "San Francisco" and "Call of the Wild" adequately express the charismatic quality that made Clark Gable the top male actor of the 1930's. He would be crowned the "King" of Hollywood in 1938 and overwhelm the movie going world with his immortal characterization of Rhett Butler in "Gone With The Wind" in 1939. For all movie buffs, nostalgia freaks, and just plain entertainment seekers, these two films offer the opportunity to see one of the greatest actors ever in action. led Ads t SALE Student Veteran Movers - lowest local rates, nd cartridge, working 09. 43.
