LECTURE
Author discusses Hitchcock's legacy
BY MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
A stabbing that we never really saw. Wet fingertips sliding down tiles. Blood flowing down the drain. It's not quite a Valentine's love, but it's a love nonetheless. If you ask film critic David Thomson, that infamous shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" made us long for more.
The London native who lives in San Francisco, Calif., will present "The Hitchcock Moments: Psycho and Other Tales of Terror" tonight in the Union's Woodruff Auditorium at 7. The event is sponsored by The Hall Center for the Humanities, Student Union Activities and the Department of Film and Media Studies and will follow with a book signing in the Big 12 Room.
Thomson, the author of several books including "The Moment of Psycho: How Alfred Hitchcock Taught America to Love Murder," will focus on a director who mastered his craft.
"He was in love with technique and liked to experiment," said Zachary Ingle, graduate teaching assistant in The Film and Media Department. "Yet his films are also rich in themes, such as the transference of guilt."
Ingle said that Hitchcock influenced both the French New Wave scene and more recent genre filmmakers like Brian De Palma and Robert Rodriguez.
With spooky motifs, eerie scores and familiar faces, such as actor Jimmy Stewart, Hitchcock immerses
the audience into his films.
"You get really into the characters with all of the tragedy," Edinburgh, Scotland junior Amy Lenathen said.
Lawrence sophomore Tim Clark said that whenever he walks around and sees birds flying around, he remembers 1963's "Birds". When considering 1960's "Psycho" shower scene, he said that likes that Hitchcock does not allow the viewer to witness the stabbing.
"It leaves a little bit more to the imagination," Clark said.
Because of the timeless moments, the Hitchcock brand lives on.
"Thirty years after his death, Alfred Hitchcock is still a household name." Ingle said. "And that name is synonymous with 'suspense.'"

Katie Mulich, a sophomore from Louisburg, sits next to her dog and her invention, the "Paw Wash." Mulich invented the Paw Wash when she was a sixth grader and owns the patent.
Mulich thought the process of getting a patent and being where she is today would not take that long, but instead it has taken eight years.

PAWS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"I started getting prototypes made and we went through a lot because of different plastics," Mulich said. "Certain plastics would crack when we got it back. Ordering something took forever because it was coming from China and it takes months to get what you want back to see if it works."
This table displays several products offered from Paw Wash. Paw Wash is a company started and invented by KU student Katie Mullich, a sophomore from Louisburg, who will be donating $1 for every Paw Wash sold to Wayside Waifs in Kansas City. More information about the Paw Wash can be found on www.thepawwash.com.
Mulich decided to settle on polycarbonate, a strong plastic that a Nalgene water bottle is made out of. She was going to sell her product to some companies, but with contract talks falling through, she decided to do everything on her own.
The Paw Wash has been known
Chris Bronson/KANSAN
to people for three or four years, but Mulich has only been selling it for a year. It is offered in two sizes: one for large and medium-sized dogs and one for small dogs. Mulich said she has a number of units sold, but could not disclose it.
She has received a lot of help and support from her family, especially her father. She says he keeps her in check and makes sure that she balances business and school.
She is majoring in film and media studies with a minor in business, but wants to really focus on The Paw Wash. She wants to try and expand the product line. She offers a microfiber mitt to dry the paws, but not damage them like towels may do. She wants to create a shampoo or soap designed for paws.
The unit is available online, but Mulich said it is now being available in pet stores and at Wayside Waifs, 3901 Martha Truman Rd., Kansas City, Mo., which is where she adopted her four-month-old puppy Callie. Mulich adopted her at Wayside Waifs because it is Kansas City's largest no kill pet adoption center. Mulich teamed with Wayside Waifs in January and is donating $1 for every Paw Wash sold.
Ashlee Parker, Wayside Waifs Communication Relations Manager,said each dollar feeds an animal a day.
"Every single dollar will make a difference," Parker said. "We are thrilled with the partnership."
