The SUA films committee has secured many recently released films for showing on campus next semester.
"Kramer vs. Kramer," "Apocalypse Now" "All That Jazz" and "The Shining" have been scheduled for next simmerest, Bebert, SUA films and Bodyguard, said Mr. Bodyguard and "The Tin Drum" also will be shown.
The 11-member films committee chooses movies from committee members' recommendations and suggestions from the public.
The committee began working in late August, so that we would get some of the hot releases, such as 'Kramer vs. Kramer.' "Gebert said."
Timing is important, Gebert said, because many of the new releases are
taken as soon as they are available from film distributors.
The film committee does not get the films from the same distributors as theaters, but there are a limited number of films available, Gebert said.
Films are released to SUA six months after they have been put on the market.
SUA's Sunday films offer variety and new foreign films such as Bob Fosse's "Lanny," and Werner Herzog's "Rick," both of which were shown this semester.
Monday nights feature films of selected directors. Each semester three directors are chosen and five or six films are shown throughout the semester.
Tuesday night, or genre night, is similar to directors' night, but directeur

needs, presents a series of foreign films from the KU film society.
Thursday nights feature new foreign,
political and documentary films.
Special programming and short films, as well as films for classes, are offered.
Usually what the campus wants is entirely different from what the teacher wants.
Attendance at SUA movies has increased this semester because the committee was able to get highdrawing films.
The increases in attendance have not been at showings of national box office money makers such as "Allen," but at a local level on the network on the national market, Gebert was.
For example, Gebert said,
" 'Manhattan' had over 1,400 people view the film in the six showings we had, while 'Alile' did half as well."
Mayor wants parking lot, not building
By JENNIFER LISTON Staff Reporter
Mayor Ed Carter said yesterday that he thought a condemned building at 600 Massachusetts St. should be raided for a theft, and the former owner's attempt to save it.
"I think the city's original intent to fear it down was right." he said.

Many of the films the committee gets, previously have been released to movie theaters, he said, but network companies doesn't show the films for a year or two.
Bryan Anderson, former owner of the building, staged an art show in the building this weekend and last weekend to protest the condemnation.
The popularity of cable television's Home Box Office movies has not reduced the SUA movie audience, according to Gebert, because SUA films offer students a chance to get out for a little entertainment.
If a film draws a large crowd on commi-
ties, sometimes it gets big. If Gebert, it

Also, when the movies are edited heavily for television, they lose much of their meaning and substance Gebert said.
Carter said he had not been inside the building before Thursday. He said he did not think the city could use the parking lot, but needed the parking lot instead.
Carter, commissioners Barkley Clark and Marci Francisco, Robert Ceská and members of his consulting firm are building the and the art show last week.
About 30 local artists displayed their works in the building to stir up support for Anderson's fight to save the building.
Anderson said he hoped the show and a full-page newspaper advertisement today in the Lawrence Journal-World magazine to draw crowds across night's City Commission meeting.
The art show featured mostly modern sculptures and paintings. Anderson said some works were for sale and others were from his private art collection.
The city condemned the building this summer. Anderson, who is supposed to vacate the building Nov. 15, has been building from the city for $500 a month.
At that meeting, commissioners will hear a report from the city's legal staff and will decide if the building should be razed or saved.
"The Rocky Horror Picture Show" is
made by Robert Reiner, but
because theaters had first preference
When SUA wants to show a film that a local theater may want to show at another time, the theater gets preference when the film is distributed.
Anderson said that several hundred people saw the art show this weekend.
Yet because many of the films SUA gets have been released just over six months to a year before, Gebert said he is happy with the work of the competition with the lawyers in Lawrence.
"They were a pretty enthusiastic crowd," he said.
The films SUA gets are films that have been shown about a year to 15 months before and by the time KU has released their popularity has died down, he said.

Big releases are usually held back by the distributors and re-released during Christmas or during the summer, he said. "We will never be released to distributors."

The west front door of Watson will serve as a temporary entrance until the second phase is completed, said Carol Chittenden, reference librarian.
Watson entrance closes
Watson library's front entrance will be closed from Oct. 31 until spring as Watson renovation moves into its second phase and construction begins on the first floor and the front of the library.
The first phase of renovation consisted of plumbing and electrical work and renovation of the basement, subbasement and part of the third floor.
The periodical reading room and the administrative offices will be moved from the first floor to leave it empty for renovation.
The periodical room temporarily will go to the west end of the basement and the administrative offices will move to the northwest corner, for a location on the west end of third floor.
The steps leading to Watson's front entrance will be remodeled into one flight leading directly to the door. The stairs now approach the door from two directions and have several short flights of steps.
The library will be closed from 5 p.m. Oct. 31 until noon Nov. 3 while the changes are being made.
Total renovation of Watson is scheduled for completion early in 1982.
The periodical room will be moved permanently to the second floor when the new building is completed.
The temporary sidewalk will be torn
when the construction is finished. Gliaisa said.
A temporary sidewalk was built in front of Watson in preparation for renovation of the front of the library, borrowed from John Glinka, associate dean of libraries.
