Established in 1973, the program originally exam- ined film and film theory, including its history, formal structures, and relation- ship to the other arts. To- day, through the sponsor- ship of a consortium of 22 U.S. universities and col- leges, the program has ex- panded to include all visual arts as well as many social sciences while maintaining its orginal commitment to film. The program’s goal is twofold: to teach students to understand contempo- rary French theoretical trends in literature, phi- losophy, and film analysis; and to sharpen students’ analytical skills by tran- scending the traditional barriers separating these disciplines through inter- disciplinary work such as literature and philosophy, literature and painting, film and textual theory.

New Commons Building is More Than It Was Cut Out to Be by Anna Giauturco Sports Editor The new Commons Building promises to be a popular place on campus next semester. This build- ing will hold an athletic center, a gymnasium, a larger cafeteria, book- store, offices for the P.E. faculty, and the new Con- tinuing Education Center. The cafeteria will be fur- nished in a fashion that will also serve as a student lounge. Rumors of stu- dents having classrooms in the new Commons Building are not true. The only classes that will be held in the building are the assigned P.E. classes. While the athletic center will have a complete nau- tilus system and a weight room, the gymnasium will be equipped with volley- ball and badminton facili- ties, an indoor track, a complete basketball court, and six half-courts. The building will be open throughout the week and possibly even on weekends. Priority for availability will be given to the P.E. classes, but signs will be posted to let the general population of the students know when the gym will be available. Requirements for enter- ing the new facility (i.e. showing your student ID) have not yet been deter- mined. Beauty. And the Beast. |
