FILM FEELERS—Every day, over five miles of film go through the fingers of Don Darnell, Lawrence senior, left, and Don Leibengood, Lawrence freshman, right, and their 12 fellow feelers. (Daily Kansan photo)
They Feel Miles Of Film Daily
Inspecting about 5 miles of film every day is the task of 14 KU men who work part time for the Bureau of Visual Instruction in Bailey.
These visual aid technicians inspect all of the film returned to the University's film library from groups who rent films from the more than 3,000 available.
Inspection consists of feeling the entire length of the film to determine if there are any breaks to be repaired. The smallest reel contains 800 feet of film and the largest 1,600 feet of film.
Many are returned broken. They usually have some sort of homemade patch job done on them. Films have been received with breaks repaired with adhesive tape, masking tape and even straight pins.
They Also Show Film
Must Stay Alert
They Also Show Film Besides repairing film, these "film feelers" also show the movies in KU's classrooms and the film series in Hoch Auditorium.
While not the most unusual job on the campus the visual aid technicians hold one of the most informative. The movies they show cover many subjects from history to physics or chemistry.
To be a technician one has to stay alert for sometimes the unexpected happens.
Leslie Milberger, Great Bend senior, once was showing slides so far from the screen that the picture was about 10 times the size of the screen. In order to see all of the picture he had to move the projector around. He forgot to take a special lens attachment.
was dozing during a film which he had seen many times, unaware that the film had broken and was piling up on the floor behind the machine. Once an instructor was unaware that the two men in the rear of the room were waiting to show a film which they had set up. Since they were not paying attention to his lecure, he asked them to leave his class, stating that such conduct on the part of a student was unpardonable.
