By WARD HARKAVY
Kansan Reviewer
Do you like movies? If so, give your consideration to SUA films. For less than half the cost of local downtown and shopping center theaters, you can see many good movies, recent and not so recent, at Woodruff Auditorium this fall.
The SUA film schedule this fall is under the director of Steve Benjamin, Prairie Village school. Each of the five film series, including "The Great Gatsby," Classical, on Wednesday nights; Film Society, on Thursday nights; Popular, on Friday and Saturday nights and some Saturday afternoons; and Children's, on Saturday afternoons—are run by separate chairmen.
Complete film schedules and program notes may be picked up in the SUA office on Tuesday, May 25th.
The schedule comprises 82 movies, one program of shorts, one Walt Disney cartoon package and one film festival not yet announced.
Here are some of the most interesting films this fall:
SPECIAL:
"—Gabriel over the White House"1933. Directed by Gregory La Cava. With Walter Huston and Karen Morley. Walter Huston, director John Huston's father, is superb as a hero in terms of crisis, since unprecedented power to ease that crisis. It's a fantasy, luckily.
—"The Day the Earth Stood Still""1860. Directed by Robert Wise. The master Rennie Patricia Neal and Gort the Robot. This is one of the best science fiction films to ever come out of Hollywood. Michael Rennie portrays a visitor from outer space to Earth's soil to questioning with atomic weapons. Gort, klaim, barada nico!
“‘Things to Come’-1936. Directed by William Cameron-Menzies. With Raymond Massey. Another science fiction classic with terrific imagination.
CLASSICAL
Brando famous. His portrayal of Stanley Kowalski is marvelous.
"A Streetcar named Desire"—1961. Directed by Ella Kazan, from the Tennessee Williams plays. With Marlon Brando and Vivian Leigh. This movie helped make
"Now, Voyager"—1942. Directed by Irving Rapper. With Bette Wade, Claude Rains and Paul Henneid. Bette plays a spinster who is aided by psychiatrist Rains. This is a soap opera, but a very good one. The cast is superb.
"Top Hat" - 1835. Directed by Mark Sandrich. With Fred Astraite, Ginger Rogers, Edward Ewart Horton, Helen Reagan, James Coburn and Eric Blore. Astaire and Rogers were at their art decor best when they worked on KRO films such as this one. Rudolf Nureyev claims that Fred Astaire is one of his idols, and he was an avid surfer to see this marvelous dance. Enjoy it!
"'—Double Indemnity'—1944. Directed by Billy Wilder, from a novel by James M. Cain, Screenplay by Wilder and Raymond Chandler. With Barbara Stanwyck, Fred Niven, Dustin Hoffman, and Cain's hardboiled novel was turned into a great murder story by this talented crew and by a nifty job of casting. Stanwyck plays the blackest Black Widow in screen history, whose bloody hunt in her wrestling and Robinson try to sort out the mystery. This is an excellent movie.
—'Freaks' —1932, Directed by Tod Browning. With Olga Biolarov and many
freaks. This chiller makes a fairly regular
KU game you like. It has a lot of face-
laughing, but it also feels fascinating.
"Wife vs. Secretary", 1936. Directed by Clarence Barkh. With Clark Gable, Jan Harlow and Myra Lymb. This movie was based on a Faith Baldwin soap opera, but the three stars are so good, the familiar plot machinations are obscured. Jan Harlow
REVIEW
"Bicycle Thief"—1949. Dirced by Vittorio De Sica. With Lamberto Maggioran. A classic neo-realist film. It's a beautiful and simple story.
"—Asphalt Jungle"–1950. Directed by John Huston. With Sterling Hayden, Sam Jaffe, Louis Calhoun, Marilyn Monroe and Barry Kelley. This crime drama is regarded by many as one of Huston's best stories; its story moves the excellent cast, makes it sparkle.
has the reputation of a sexpot, but she was also a very fine actress. This is one of the most enjoyable films of the schedule.
"—M1”-M31. Directed by Fritz Lang. With Peter Lorre. Lorre plays a child
molester, whose actions spark a citywide manhunt. An excellent film.
FILM SOCIETY
at ally one of, d. the be the ses pay to al of ch at st
"Fantastic Planet"—1973. Animated film directed by Renee Laloux. This film was in Lawrence only two nights and was shown at midnight. It deserved a longer run. This film won the Grand Prix at Cannes.
POPULAR
"The Conversation" —1974, Directed by Francis Ford Coppola. With Gene Hacken, John Cazale and Allen Garfield. This film is a masterpiece. It's one of the few films that praise Hackman plays a wiretrap whose profession tears him apart.
—The $5,000 Fingers of Dr. T" —Directed by Roy Rowland, With Hans Conner, Peter Lind Hayes, Tommy Rettig and Mary Healy. This fantasy film is more than a children's film. It's about a boy's nightmare in which a mad pianist teacher kidnaps children and makes them practice their music. The idea was devised by Dr. Seus.
CHILDREN'S
As you can see, the fall film schedule offers a wide variety of movies. Not all of them are worth watching. But many of them are. The above list is by no means complete. This is cheap entertainment and, if supported by students, SUA will continue bringing such a large number of movies to KU.
Dana Leibengoed, assistant dean in charge of placement for the School of Journalism, said his office had about 10 students in her class who attended at least two-thirds of the 1973 graduates.

Grads find jobs . . .
"We've had jobs all summer and have sent lists out to graduates still seeking employment or alumni who have been out a year or two and want to change," Leibengood said. "As far as we're concerned the outlook is pretty positive."
Leibengood said the job openings were in all areas of journalism, including small papers, advertising agencies and large metropolitan papers. He said the key was to graduate to consider job openings that weren't exactly what they were looking for.
"If people are willing to be flexible, there are jobs open," he said. "We're fortunate—we have a lot of contacts and have a good network of contacts to come to us when they need someone."
Herold Regier, placement officer for the School of Education, said some teaching fields actually had shortages while others were flooded with good, qualified people. He said that generally the job situation had been excellent last year except there were even more places placing teachers seeking jobs in the kindergarten through fourth grades.
"In some of the special education fields such as learning disabilities and speech
therapy, there are really shortages", Regler said. "But in secondary social studies, English and biology or on the high level, it's slow going in placement."
Regier said that one of the problems in placing education majors was that over half the graduates were women, who he said were less mobile.
"It's not like the professional schools where there are 80 to 90 per cent men who can go anywhere within a three state area or so," he said. "Most of the women are married and can't move to where the jobs are."
Regier expressed the feeling of most placement officers when he said that his office had placed a lot of people, but he still wasn't satisfied.
"In over a month there have only been 10 elementary education job openings," he said. "There are going to be many disparities in the jobs people who want to teach and can't."
All the officers, although moderately optimistic and pleased with their efforts, said this year's job opportunities weren't nearly as plentiful as in past years and only through scrounging and hard work were most people going to find jobs.
"I wouldn't pretend that the market is as good as it was even a year ago," Lebbengood said. "But I know that we're off here吧 here吧
