The Reader Reviews Connoisseur's Guide To Cheap Flicks In the past few months, a number of motion-pictures have been released to tempt any moviegoer's palate. Since the green stuff is hard to come by, it ain’t easy tomake it to all the flicks, so one has to use a little discriminating taste in picking movies. As a result, I’ve picked a few of what I feel are the best movies currently running in the Harrisburg Area to recommend to those of you who, like me, are on tight budgets. These are (along with my personal ratings): THE STING(at the Twin Eric II) staring Newman & Redford. A fine updated version of Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid. Good performance by stars. Great action movie set in the thirties dealing with the Big Con. Superb surprise ending. 8/10 Twin Eric Cinemas offer afternoon $l.OO matinees on Wednesday and sometimes other days of the week. (Located off route 1-283 at East Park Center on Derry St.) THE EXORCIST (at United Artists Cinema II) staring Ellen Burstyn, Jason Miller, Max Von Sidow, Linda Blair. Really needs no intro from me. Fine horror flick which may keep you awake nights listening for things that go bump in the night. Superb acting and technical production. A MUST-SEE movie. Be sure to make it to the earlier showings to avoid the really big evening crowds. Located at Camp Hill Shopping Center. THE THREE MUSKETEERS (soon to be at Twin Eric) An all-star caste includes Michael York, Faye Dunaway, Charleton Heston, Racquet Welsh! Richard Chamberlain, Christopher Lee, and many more. Fantastic adventure movie in the old Hollywood tradition and a hilarious comedy. This is only the first part of the saga of the 3 Muskies. The entire production was split into this flick and a sequel, The Four Musketeers. This episode-deals with the quest for the Queen’s diamonds and ends with induction into the Musketeers. The acting is great on all counts, and is highlighted by masterful performances by the four heroes. Other outstanding features includ Heston’s naturally superior performance, although he’s in the unaccustomed role as the heavy; Welsh's convincing performance as D’Artangione’s bumbling mistress □ and the truly magnificent production. Don’t miss it, and remember the cheapie matinee! Other films which I haven't seen, but which come highly recommended include: AMERICAN GRAFFITTI (at UA I, Camp Hill) Fine for nostalgia freaks, but not for me. MAGNUM FORCE Return of Dirty Harry. This time, he looks tame compared to the fascist cops he fights, (at Colonial, downtown Harrisburg) Finally, films which are just being released, or are of special interest: THE GREAT GATSBY (coming to Trans-Lux, Colonial Park Shopping Center, exit 30E of 1-83). Lavishly expensive ($lB million) film starring Redford as Gatsby and Farrow as Daisy of the Fitzgerald classic. Critics are running hot and cold. Trans-Lux offers discounted admissions to college students with ID’s for all performances. This flick would have to be worth it at the bargain prices. CHARIOTS OF THE GODS? (Twin Eric I) Based on Erich von Daniken's bestseller and a TV special dealing with prehistoric astronauts from other worlds here on earth. For those of us interested in this type of stuff, the one-buck matinee's one of the better bargains in town. EXECUTIVE ACTION (Paxtang, 3427 Derry St., Hbg.) Stars Burt Lancaster. Interesting hypothesis on the feasibility of a plot to assassinate President Kennedy. If you accept the evidence, this flick can be very convincing. See you at the movies...

April 5, 1974 By Jim Bollinger Test Date Penalty Date Final Closing Date 4t9-74 ** * * C.C. Reader From Student Affairs A new beginning for an evangelical, Christian, campus ministry is being sought. This could take the form of a worship service, an informal Bible study, a Christian rap, or any other form desirable to students. It is to be planned and promoted by students, with volunteer assist ance available, and would not be denominational. At the beginning of the fall term, 1973, a small group of students, assisted by Pastor Nolan M. Kennedy, of Valley Baptist Church, Middletown, began a Tuesday evening Bible study and a Sunday afternoon worship service in the Student Center. However, those who began this ministry are no longer on the campus. New leadership is now being sought. There are on the campus some evangelical students, and others, who are interested in a Bible oriented campus sharing activity. This would be planned and structured by and for students. Pastor Kennedy has offered his assistance for any such activity. Students who are interested in becoming a part of such an activity are requested to call Pastor Kennedy at 944-9651 or 944-1775. Or a note could be addressed to him at 15 Woodland Ave., Middletown. /Money Each year, Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency awards grants to resi dents of the state for educational purposes.

While there is no deadline date for filing for these loans, you should allow at least 3 months for the processing of an application. The Financial Aid Counselor welcomes inquiries from stu dents about financial aid possi bilities. Interesting Points by Bill Matthews X have to laugh. The other day I went up to Dr. McDermott’s office to see about reserving room E-202 for a meeting I was having. In case you don’t know it, room E-202 is that beautifully paneled room next to executive row on the second floor of the administration building. Anyway, I sent Mr. Bellini, a student, to reserve the room for me. He was informed by a certain secretary, ‘You tell Mr. Matthews, if I told him once, I’ve told him twice, that is he wants a room he’ll have to go through Mr. South, Dean of Student Affairs.’ Well, needless to say I was taken aback. What’s so sacred about a conference room? That conference room is space, space which we pay for, space that is not utilized to its fullest capacity and space that should be made available to students. Anyway I did go through Mr. South and obtained the room, no questions asked, five minutes after the original incident—weird. E-202 what are you? Oh, another thing. . .Beta Chi, (the Business Club) is planning a book sale, and properly run it could be very successful. Part of their set up was to obtain a listing of the current books being used and their prices so that they could develop guidelines to follow. Sounds good? At any rate I was approached about obtaining a copy of the listing. No problem.. .right? Wrong. The following is an excerpt of the conversation I had with the bookstore manager. Bill Matthews: ‘Sir, I’m with the S.G.A. and Beta Chi is conducting a book sale this month. I was wondering if I could obtain the listing of the Spring term books and their prices. Mr. Kistler: ‘No.’ Bill Matthews: ‘Why not?’ Mr. Kistler: ‘Because we only have seven copies of the listing plus the official listing and they are the property of the bookstore.’ Bill Matthews: ‘Well, could I borrow a copy?’ Mr. Kistler: ‘No, they are not for general disbursement.’ Bill Matthews: ‘Well could you make a copy for me and I’ll pay you for it.’ Mr. Kistler, ‘No, we don’t distribute copies.’ Bill Matthews: ‘Thank you.’ I don’t want to say I’m a little disgusted or a little angry. Nor would I want to say things better change, but I would say people better tread lightly. NOTE:Copies of the State Senate representatives and State House representatives are availabe in the S.G.A. office, come in and get one. Pay particular attention to the ones involved in higher education. Give them a call, it’ll be interesting. NOTE: Watch for upcoming tuition increases, Pitt and Temple went to 11000 per year. P.S.U. will be next, you can bet your bippy baby. NOTE: Speaking about males on campus, what about mails in Meade Heights being tampered with. Having a problem? Call 782-4449 your friendly federal postal inspector. . . Geovgo sits before the typewriter, hurting deeply. For the past three hours he has sat there, his face a soft numb mask hiding torment and agony, his thoughts returning again and again to suicide. Roxannel Roxannel How could you do this to mel George is crushed by islentless waves of sadness, angusih crucifies him to the memory of a mountain and Roxanne’s hair in the sunlight. He wants to cry. But instead he looks up toward the typewriter. Filled with the wisdom pain brings, George taps out a poem. His personal comment on things. A scream. Afterwards, he feels better. A little better, anyway. He decides to go over his friend Jim’s awhile. Three years have gone by since that happened and now Rasanne shares George’s memory with other girls both better and worse. But George still likes that poem. There are times when we all sit down to write. Why let it stop there? Allow this facet of your personality open expression; be proud enough of what you write to develop it, to see it in print.
