Movietonews j

The Movietonews films donated to USC by 20th CenturyFox
will not be available to the public for about two years.
Kenneth Toombs, director* of the Thomas Cooper Library,
blamed the delay on cataloging time. Toombs said indexing
the films, the most extensive such Droiect ever attemntpH
will take about five years.
Employees will be talking to major news network* within
the next few months to discuss the cataloging process, which
: will be handled by no more than two persons.
The $40 million collection, a record corporate gift to a
university when it was donated to USC last spring, is 35mm
film, Toombs said. Since the university has no facilities for
35mm film, plans call for converting selected footage to
16mm film or videotape. 20th Century-Fox has been converting
the original footage from flammable nitrate stock to
safety stock.
rnr,c3iur.i\ i jAivits B. noiaerman called the news
film "the best source or pictorial review" of the period from
1919 to 1963, and he said the footage will be an invaluable
academic asset. Ninety percent of the film has never been
viewed by the public.
ETV facilities will make the footage available to
educational and commercial film producers worldwide.
USC plans to charge commercial filmmakers for using the
film, and Holderman said the Movietonews will eventually
pay for the proposed arts center where the film will be
stored.

USC's overloaded Amdahl computer will no longer be
available to the 16 state technical colleges because of its
increasing work load.
Robert Roberson, vice president of Computer Services,
said Computer Services is drafting a document requesting a
$2.5 million addition to a capital improvements bond bill for
upgrading the computer.
Rep. Bill Campbell, D-Columbia, had sought $5.5 million
for improving the university's computer services, but faced a
filibuster by Sen. John Drummond, D-Greenwood, shortly
before the General Assembly ended its spring session.

Drumn\ond and Rep. Norma Russell, R-Lexington, said
Campbell's bond addition should have been submitted to the
Budget and Control Board.
ROBERSON SAID HE plans to explain USC's computer
needs to the board's Computer Systems Management
Division in late September, then to the entire Board and
finally to the Bond Review Committee before seeking bids
Hum cumpuier venaors. ine uenerai Assembly must approve
any bid the university accepts. Roberson said the
money may be available after April 15,1981.
Roberson said the state's technical colleges will now use
the state General Services Division's computer, leaving USC
more time on the Amdahl, which handles research, recordkeeping
and instructional duties.
"We're going to have to constrain new growth," he said.
"But I want to stress that we will continue to support all our
other users fully." j
