KU debuts soon in Lovelace film
By CASS WONG
Kansan Staff Reporter
University of Kansas students will be able to watch themselves perform in an X-rated movie when "Little Loveliness for Presidents" and "The Rocky Mountain City, Mo." and "Alain 2 in Lawrence."
Hundreds of KU students served as extras when scenes from the movie, including a campaign parade on Jayhawk Boulevard and staged political rallies near Porter Lake and the Memorial Campanile, were filmed last Sept. 25-27.
The film will open Wednesday at Watts Mill Theater, Kansas City, Mo., according to Jim Lewis, booker and buyer for Mid-America Cinema Corporation.
"We anticipate a large crowd, as close as the theater is to the University, plus the fact that we exclusively will be showing it in the Kansas City area," Lewis said last week.
He said the price of admission would be $2.50.
Eldon Harwood, general manager of the
Lawrence office of Commonwealth
Theatres, said the Lovelace film would open
April 2 at the Varsity Theatre with tickets
selling for $2 each.
"I recognize many university students in the movie," Harwood said, "especially in the scene where the basketball players, the knight and Rick Stille, led the parade."
Harwood could identify the University by the T-shirt insignia on students in
However, he said, he didn't remember seeing any scenes in which the name of the University was shown on official property, such as on the drums carried by the ministry of Kansas band when they marched out-uniform in the staged parade.
Lewis, who also had screened the film, said people familiar with the KU campus could recognize the stadium, but the film didn't identify the University.
Lewis and Harwood said they knew of no
groups who were opposing the showing of the movie and, to their knowledge, only an X-rated version of the movie was being distributed for showing.
General Film Corporation, who filmed the movie, misrepresented the type of movie that they would be making when they negotiated with University officials in September. Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, said.
"From the information they gave us, we understood it wouldn't be 'X-rated,' Shankel said.
"After careful consideration of alternatives, we felt that we shouldn't prevent the film company from coming on campus as they didn't violate any laws, pose danger to anybody or unduly interrupt class work," he said.
University officials have never screened the movie, although in September the production company offered to arrange a screening to show that the company had fulfilled its agreement not to identify the University in the film, Shankel said.
Food co-op finally reaps savings

After its first year of trying, the six fraternities belonging to Greek Management, Inc. (GMI), a food buying company, have their own savings accumulate from their efforts.
Rick McKernan, director of GMI, said that when the organization was first started, those in charge pressed too hard to achieve integration with problems in distribution and billing.
"They were over anxious to start saving money, and when you first start a business, they are very nervous."
McKernan said that the fraternities in GMI were saving a small amount on their meat purchases, and almost 10 per cent on canned good purchases.
Mark Pennington, Interfraternity Council (IFC) president, said much of the credit for GMI's success should go to last year's IFC president, Rick McLaughlin.
After the shaky start, GMI is apparently financially stable and plans to recruit more customers.
"Rick was really the one who got GMI rolling and got the fraternities involved," he said. "We started out with nine fraternities that were so small, but I think those six are very stable."
put up by each fraternity involved. Each fraternity is assigned separate course month and class hours.
"I think the houses dropped out because the service in the beginning was not good and there were some cases of improper billing," Pennington said.
Pennington said he thought the service now was much better and that the billing process was more efficient.
only financial problem they were facing, was a minitime one involving late payments by the company.
"The two fraternities have a couple of thousand dollars, but that's not much considering we spend a quarter of a million dollars each year," he said.
Bob Turvey, assistant to the dean of men for fraternities, said that in his recent meetings with the treasurers of the fraternities involved, the treasurers indicated that both the service and the savings had improved.
According to McKernan, funs for the cash flow to buy food in bulk come from a deposit
