Foreign Films Bring Technicians' Problems
Page 7
By IRENE COONFER
Operating the projectors for the University Film Service can involve several difficulties, especially whenever a foreign film is featured, according to Ross Wulkuhle, in charge of the projection program, and Ivan Hird, operator.
Referring to themselves as amateurs, they pointed out that the foreign films have a tendency to be darker than the regular ones, creating difficulties in the proper lighting.
"This year, however, we have installed new projectors and high intensity arc lamps. Now with a bigger screen and a few modifications, we might even be able to show cinemascope," Mr. Wulfkhuhe said.
When the Film Series program was started, the operators worked with two silent projectors, which were quite old. Sound has been installed since then, and several other improvements made.
"Another difficulty we face is the cross-over markings on the foreign films," Mr. Hird said. "They are not always clear, and sometimes the switch from one projector to the other, which is necessary for a
complete show, is obvious to the viewers."
Mr. Hird added that the two operators rarely see the movie they are showing.
"From the projection booth to the screen is a throw of 180 feet, longer than any theater would think of using," he said, "We need field glasses to see the captions. Generally, we're too busy checking the machines to bother with following the story."
"We seldom have a chance to properly check our equipment, and of course, we cannot preview the film, which would certainly help," he said.
Mr. Wulfkühle said perhaps the main difficulty was Hoch auditorium, because it is always so busy.
He said that Mr. Snoddy, Hoch electrician, works with the operators by clearing the stage, erecting the screen, setting the lights, and

acting as general backstage partner.
"Actually, there's quite a bit to operating a projector," Mr. Hird said. "The arc lenses themselves, setting the carbons in correct position, and setting the mirrors. You have to be sure there is enough carbon--you can't change it while the film is running."

The executions began at dawn in
The exceptions to above are the Cairo prison and were spaced at 30-minute intervals. In each execution, the condemned was left hanging from the gibbet for almost half an hour.
First to die was Mahmoud Abdel Latif, trigerman in the plot to kill the youthful premier at Alexandria last Oct. 26.
Following him to the gallows were Youssef Talaat, 42, chief of the secret brotherhood; Ibrahim El Tayeb, 32, lawyer and brotherhood leader in Cario; Hindawy Dweir, leader in the Embaba district; Mahomed Farghaly, 47. brotherhood chief in the Suez canal zone, and Abdel Kader Oda, a member of the brotherhood council.
Cairo—(U.P.)—Egypt's revolutionary government hanged six leaders of the outlawed Moslem brotherhood today for attempting to assassinate Premier Gamal Abdel Nasser.

Wisconsin Doctor Gives $1,000 Gift
Latif, a tinsmith, asked for forgiveness of his sins, as did Talaat. Fargheli, once the most colorful figure in the military secret order, said as he was being led to the gallows that "I welcome union with God."
Dr. C. R. Duer of Marinette, Wis., has given $1,000 to the University Endowment association, Irvin Youngberg, executive secretary, announced today.
The amount of the gift itself is important, Youngberg said, but more significant is the fact this is the tenth consecutive December in which Dr. Duer has made the gift.
"Carnival Story"
Of each gift $720 is invested in a government bond and the remainder used for scholarships to outstanding men requiring financial assistance.
The bond trust fund will ultimately be used to construct a scholarship hall for men.
Robert Evan Johnson, college sophomore, and Robert Dale Crist, college freshman, have been awarded the 1954-55 Duer scholarships.
Dr. Duer, a physician, holds two degrees from KU, an AB degree in 1908, and an MD degree in 1915.

Still Life Art To Be on View
"Still Life—20th Century," an exhibition prepared by the Museum of Modern Art, N.Y., and consisting of 20 reproductions of paintings by well-known European and American artists, will be on view in the main lobby of the Student Union today through Dec. 18.
Included are reproductions of widely known paintings from the Museum's own collections such as Matisse's "Blue Window" and Picasso's "Green Still Life;" as well as van Gogh's "Purple Iris." Sheeler's "American Interior" and Stuart Davis' "Hot Still-Scape." Others represented are Cezanne, Bonnard, Beckmann, Braque, Chagall, Leger, O'Keeffe, Dickinson, Weber, Marchand, Demuth and others.
Beginning with samples of some influential and immediate forerunners the exhibition illustrates the varied approaches to still life in contemporary art. The show further points to the Surrealist tendencies of using the object as a means to produce certain psychological moods, and the Expressionists insistence to express the emotional content of their compositions through distorted line and colour. Examples of Abstractionism, Realism and fantastic art round out the collection.
After its showing at the Student Union the exhibition will continue its tour throughout the country.
