Angi Vera
(1979)
The surprise hit of the 1979 New York Film Festival, this hungarian film is above all a show but earnest young women. It features the lives of two warhunge, joins the Communist Party, but finds it not what she expected, and tries to less than pre-Communist, this is a polio-embryal, enjoyable, provocative movie with color, hungarian subtitles, 7:30.
Friday, May 1 The Shining
(1980)
Controversial as ever, Stanley Kubrick was laimted for not providing the cheap thieves we expect from horror films like *King's Novel*. Actually, though, this is the first epic horror film (*Jack Knife*, an adaptation of *Murder by Numbers*) that we predict will take its rightful place in a few years. The story of *Jack Knife* is about a family into the huge, haunted (and of course, isolated) Overlook Hotel and its children, who are grappled by a splendidly salving psycho performance by Jack Nicholson and Joe Turner at the nearby theater. Performance by Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd, Scotch Crothers and Joe Turner to be there. Some kind of great movie. Plus; Jordan Balson's "Music of Death" (140 min.) color, 3:00, 7:30, 10:00.
Unless otherwise noted; all films will be shown at Woodford Auditorium in the Kansas Union, Weekday films are $1.00; Friday, Saturday, Popular and Sunday films are $1.50; Midnight films are $2.00. Tickets available at the SUA office, Kansan, 4th level information 3477. No smoking or refreshments allowed.
Computers amusing, 'dumb'
Place an ad.
By BOB MOEN Staff Reporter
He watched with amusement.
He punched a button and immediately hundreds of tiny squares appeared on the Terak computer screen and transformed into a rat maze. He punched another button and suddenly a small light skittered through the maze, trying every passage.
"This is basically a very dumb rat—fast but stupid," Alan Goerner, a 3rd-year graduate student in computer science, said, pointing out that he would go through two-thirds of the maze before finding the correct path.
GOERNER IS a senior graduate teaching assistant who teaches two computer science courses, one of which is a graduate course. He was awarded the Excellence Fellowship that gives grants to students for study and research.
Although the artificial intelligence of the computer rat is not too great, he sees,仪言 of the "The Forbiz Project," a science-fiction movie in which computers try to control manly beings, be real some-day.
"But the created program," he said, grinning above his red, Lincoln-style beard, "will never be greater than the creator."
After clearing the screen of the rat maze, Goerner called up other game stations and trained his seracers" and an anti-aircraft game "two guns shoot small
missiles at biplanes flying across the top of the screen.
games. "It exists for no other reason than to make things easier and faster," he explained. "You can do it or do damn near anything."
AS HE CHEWED on jelly drops, Goerner commanded a CRT terminal to bring up part of his thesis. The computer obeyed and a file coded LAMBDA appeared on the screen.
Typing in more codes, a cursor moved across the screen leaving words in its path. "During the latter part of the sermon," the Church began to suggest the idea.
Goerner, who is in his last semester of his master's degree, said a paper could be written on a laptop and sent to him time it would take with a twiwer笔.
A native of Overland Park, he said that he chose the computer field because he liked to ask questions.
GOERNER SAID he like computers because the field was full of old programs and mathematical that only a computer could solve.
"There is a reassurance that damn near every one of those problems is solvable," he said.
And there is a satisfaction after working on a program "for weeks on end and sweating blood over it," he said.
The machine itself was nothing more than a tool to work with, he said, a tool with miles of wire, some silicone and a few pounds of plastic.
"I'm trying to learn how to control that tool, make it as powerful as possible and make it look like child's play." Goerner said.
But Goerner explained that a computer could only do what it was programmed to do.
THE IQ OF A COMPUTER, he said, is not high. And to get a computer to behave like a human being is extremely difficult.
"To get a machine to play tic tac toe is significant," he said.
Goerner also pointed out that chess programs could be easily beaten by a chess master.
He said people have a "paranoia" about programmers sitting at a computer all day working on devious projects.
In fact, he said, 60 percent of his time is spent sitting back in a chair doing paperwork.
HOWEVER, GOERNER CON-
FIDED. "The thing that makes the machine dangerous is the vast amount of information it can store and give it out to anyone that asks it."
But can the person that asks for information still be able to control the computer?
"How many bushels of food should be given to all the people?" the computer asked.
While working on the terminal earlier, Goerner called up a fiction game that involved a royal kingdom with 25 acres of farm land and many people.
"One bushel" was typed in.
"Tyrant. All the people will starve. I shall lead the revolution."

"If any of you have seen how the athletic department operates, you've seen what kind of waste and poor management is involved," Coleman said.
