SUA sponsors Friday fun: free movie, concert at Union
By Darrin Peschka
Kansan staff writer
Student Union Activities will provide free entertainment on Friday.
Students will have their choice of either a free movie and popcorn or a free outdoor concert featuring a live band, said Mike Fine, SUA program coordinator.
Activities will begin at 9 p.m. at Alder-
son Auditorium in the Kansas Union,
SUA will show the blockbuster hit Men
in Black.
Originally, a 7 p.m. showing was scheduled, but it was canceled because of low turnout at the 7 p.m. showing of another SUA-sponsored movie.
"Seven p.m. may be too early for people," Fine said. "But at the 9 p.m. screening, the auditorium was packed. We think that the turnout will be good for this movie, too."
There will be free popcorn, and soda can be purchased in the concession areas.
Also starting at 9 p.m. will be an outdoor concert featuring local band Swing
39. The concert will be held on the terrace outside the third floor of the Union.
Matt Dunehoo, SUA live music coordinator, said that Swing 39 was a popular local band that played frequently at the Bottleneck.
The show will last about two hours. In case of inclement weather, the concert will be held inside the Union.
This is the second live concert that SUA has sponsored this summer. In June, Seattle-based Roadside Monument played after a screening of Liar, Liar.
"We had a really good turnout for that show," Dunehoo said. "We had a lot of Kansas City people who came to see the band."
SUA is tentatively planning a third live concert for the end of August, Dunehoo said.
A palm-sized metal coffin is the only burial that Susan Small Futrell's great aunt was given.

Memories preserved in art
Kansan staff writer
Futrell, Louisville senior, created the coffin to preserve her aunt's memory. It is one of many three-dimensional metal pieces that Futrell, a metal-smithing major, is creating to remember ancestors who survived and died in the Holocaust.
Her project is titled the "Benjamin Family Holocaust Research Project."
"I want to educate the public about the Holocaust in an intimate way," Futrell said. "It's like sharing a secret."
Each of the pieces, she said, will tell the story of a different ancestor.
The tiny coffin represents her Great Aunt Anna's story.
Beneath the lid of the coffin is a framed picture of Anna. Inside the coffin rests a set of train tracks. Futrell said the tracks signify her aunt freezing to death on a train during the Holocaust. Inscribed on the bottom of the coffin is the Jewish mourner's praver.

her pieces, Futrell said.
"I have used it to travel, and I have interviewed three relatives," she said. "I am trying to correspond with the president of Israel to get information."
Acquiring the information was not the hard part.
"The hard part is what to do with the information and trying to put it into a piece," Futrell said.
Research on the town where the family lived in Germany also inspired a piece in Futrell's collection, said Jon Havener, professor of design.
From the information, Futrell created a metal locket inscribed with a clock form and a map of Germany on its surface. Haventer said the meaning of the piece was that Futrell's family left in time.
"My mother was only 16 months old when her side of the family came over from Germany during the Holocaust." Futrell said. "It's something I have known about my whole life."
Two more pieces are planned to be completed for the grant project, she said. More pieces will be completed after the

initial project is finished.
"I see it as a very long-term project," Futrell said. "I had already started on it before I got the grant."
After the entire project is completed, Futrell said that she would definitely want to show her work.
"We would encourage her to exhibit it," Haven said.
