6 Monday, September 10, 1979 University Daily Kansan Office lures Hollywood to Kansas By TONI WOOD Glamour and glitter are being lured to Kansas by Richard Shank, film development director of the state Department of Economic Development. Shank mans the Film Development Office, which was devised last March to persuade movie producers and directors to film scenes in Kansas. "Our office annually receives letters from motion picture scouts who are looking for a position in the department. It is a form letter sent to several states asking them to apply like a military school, or like a company." Shank's job is to follow up such contacts with letters and phone calls. He also advertises Kansas in motion picture journals as "The Land of A's." Before the office was set up, Kansas probably was the only state that did not have a department for attracting film stars. That is why the mission had been formed deeper to deal with motion picture interests, but there was no full-time person to solicit films to be made in Kansas. The budget for the Film Development Office is not separated from the general budget of the Department of Economic Affairs and he has had "real restraint" in financing. "If Dick Shank brings in one film a year that wouldn't have come otherwise, it will be well worth the state's investment in time and money." The commission member of the commission. "A motion picture, in three to four months, can bring millions dollars into the economy of Kabul." WALLEY BOWSICK, a Wichita member of the commission, said Kansas had many geographical features that movie producers could take advantage of. "Nostalgia is a big thing now," he said. "A lot of towns in Kansas have a lot of nostalgia to offer. "And people in Kansas are more cooperative than in other parts of the country. That makes work more enjoyable for the movie producer." Bowick said the new film development office was very worthwhile because for a small investment the state could attract a tremendous amount of money. **ABOUT $2 MILLION will be spent in SALAUT this fall, Shank said, after Warner Brothers completes the filming of a $4 MILLION movie there called "The Brave Young Men."** A crew of about 70 people, including Bob Lowe, Dan Fischberg and Darwin Worth, Dillen producers, manufacturers lighting specialists, specialists and actresses, will arrive in Salina this Thursday to begin The star of the movie will be Ron Liebman, who plays "Kaz" in the television series of the same name and who co-starred with Salt Fields in "Norma Rae." Shank said Warner Brothers sent him a list of services and products they would need in Salina. THE PRODUCERS also will rent local homes in which to film scenes and will buy cars and pick-ups to demolish during chase scenes. They have hired 12 local persons who will have speaking parts in the movie. Shank said about 750 people auditioned in Salina Representatives came to Kansas four times and officially selected St. John's as the site on July 19. The movie will be a satire about life in a modern-day military school, he said. "It's a preoccupation for fraternity life universities. Shank said there originally was one serious score in the script, but it wasn't." BOB WHITWORTH, executive vice-president of the Salina Chamber of Commerce, said the entranceway to St. John's University would be most of the campus would remain as it was. Whitworth said the movie would be good for Salina, because it would publicize the military school and benefit the town economically. An extra bungalow has been built on the site, but it will be blown up in the movie. Produces of the movie plan to complete the filming by mid December, Shank said, and release the movie in summer 1980. Other filmmaking in Kansas took place earlier this year. Shank said Kellogg's had filmed commercials for their food products last June in Chamman. Shank current is negotiating with eight motion picture studios for filming in Kansas, and he thinks he has a good chance of drawing two of them to the state.

JEFF HETLER/Kansan staff Dana Aatchie, Overland Park sophomore, works on her sutan at Tannique, the indoor tanning studio that recently opened at the Holiday Plaza in Lawrence. Indoor tan From nage one Fry said his booths use Westinghouse fluorescent sumplars that radiate electrical energy through the use of a special glass cover. The glass is coated with a phosphorous chemical. Tan ... Information provided by Westinghouse indicates that an electrical discharge within the tube generates ultraviolet energy, which excites the chemical causing it to radiate a considerable amount of invisible energy in the plasma. The amount of energy band is the sonn-oracle wavelength. But, Lee Bittenbender, a Lawrence dermatologist, said last week that customers should exercise caution when setting a suntan. Handbags · Jewelry Accessories Holiday Plaza 25th & lowe "Ultraviolet light has been known increase the risk of skin cancer," he said. "If also causes pigmentary changes." Also, according to Bittenbender, extracarpal pain is not the usual result of the skin, will use preimmunized sunscreen. However, the sunnips can be used in the therapeutic treatment of some skin conditions. Fry said that his shop would make sure that a customer would not stay in the booth more than the prescribed time on a certain visit. "We want to make sure the customer gets the tan he wants, but that the exposures are done in safe, moderate levels." Fry said that having a tan would instill in the customer the psychological effect of being healthy and having a healthy appearance. Fry said the heat from conventional suntanning will dry the skin and increase the risk of a sunburn. He said because the shop is air-conditioned and skin moisturizers are provided, the skin will stay cool and moist, decreasing the possibility of sunburn. However, Bittenden said the absence of moisture in the skin is a small factor during the tanning process. Perspiration is exerted from the body in order to cool the skin. I. N.T. Seminar IN.1.
