MOVIE REVIEW// THE LION KING 3-D
> Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between
Recently, almost every movie that comes out is available in 3-D. But this time, it's different.
First appearing to the public in 1994, "The Lion King" is back and taking charge.
Storywise, most of the audience already knew what was going to happen. Simba (voiced by Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Matthew Broderick) is the prince of the pride and adores his father Mufasa (James Earl Jones). His happiness is soon shattered when his evil uncle, Scar (Jeremy Irons), tricks Mufasa and murders him. Simba, striken with grief, runs away from the kingdom and befriends Timon (Nathon Lane) and Pumba (Ernie Sabella) who help him in his journey of finding out who he is. It's a coming-of-age story that is visually appealing and features music by Elton John and Tim Rice.
It's mostly the nostalgia that lures you in. It takes you back to the days of begging your parents to rewind your VHS copy so you could watch it over and over again, skipping through the scary death scene, of course.

Some people think 3-D movie is a waste of time and just another tool to swindle you out of your money. For "The Lion King 3-D,"it's simply a way for college kids to relieve their childhood all over again.

A request form must be filled out to reproduce images for display or publishing, but copyright restrictions are not normally a problem with images of campus, said Tara Wenger, head of reader services at Spencer Research Library.
The requests are used primarily to keep track of reproductions and their usage. Images from Spencer have been hung in restaurants, published in books and displayed in homes.
A current exhibit at the Spencer Museum of Art also uses images from Spencer Research Library. "Glorious to View: The KU Campus Heritage Project" is a collaboration between Spencer Museum of Art

now occupied by GSP-Corbin residence halls. She said her group was provided with several photos to work with by Spencer Museum of Art curators.
"It's fascinating to look at the photos," Tubbs said. "I didn't even know these old images existed."
"They have a huge collection," Kilwin said. "They are not always able to show everything in the museum."
Kenzie Tubbs, a senior from St. Louis, said she helped design a piece in the "Glorious to View" exhibit focused on Old North College. Old North College, originally North College Hall, was the campus' first building, built in 1866. The site is

Kirchhoff said many of the images from Spencer Museum of Art and Spencer Research Library can be found on Luna Insight, an online collection database found on the University's library website. Images from Spencer Museum of Art, like those of Spencer Research Library, can be reproduced for personal, academic and publication purposes, Kirchhoff said.
Spencer Museum of Art holds about 38,000 works, of which only about 1 percent are on display, said Jerrye Van Leer, Spencer Museum of Art coordinator of tours and visitor services.
"It was so hard to pick the ones for 'Campus Heritage' because there are so many crazy pictures of campus," Kirchhoff said.

Emissaries from the Lawrence sister cities of Eutin, Germany and Hiratsuka, Japan, toured Lawrence and the campus in an effort to foster their exchange programs, which provide students with the opportunity to study, or intern in the emissaries' respective countries.

Mothes also met with key faculty in the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures to inform them of the success of the 2011 internships and to make plans for 2012.
According to Jim Morrison, lecturer on German business culture, the Eutin internship program with the University has increased significantly in the past three years. Only one or two students each year had participated in the exchange
