Videotape productions to become student fare New television screens will be ap pearing in the MSC this year. These monitors will be the public side of the MSC Videotape and will show television-like productions on a free daily basis. The committee, according to chairman Ray Daniels, is nearly ready to begin actual programming. “The equipment has begun to ar rive,” said Daniels recently, “and in stallation will begin as soon as possi ble.” When that is completed, the committee will be looking for stu dent members to man the cameras and equipment. We don’t have a very large committee at the mo ment, said Daniels, but we want to get a lot of people involved now be cause training sessions will begin soon. The committee will be displaying some of its materials at freshman open house this Saturday night in the MSC. The committee plans to show the “NFL Follies” program where music and football are com bined to portray professional foot ball. The committee is also trying to provide some other tapes for the production. “We’re working on a surprise or two,” said Daniels. When in operation, the commit tee will be doing all of its productions in color using a color studio camera. In addition, the committee will have equipment for editing and special ef fects. The three screens in the MSC will be showing a variety of programs. In the first semester, the majority of the programs will be rented professionally-produced tapes rang ing from Jim Croce to Super Skiers. In coming semesters, more student produced tapes will be shown, in cluding campus events and original shows. Students interested in working with Videotape should contact Daniels at 845-1515 or 845-7772, or at Open House this Saturday at 8 p.m. in the MSC.
