“Quality First”
scheduled for September 6 begin
ning at 11 a.m. Registration will end
when class capacity is met and
classes will be filled on a first come,
first served basis. Registration head
quarters and information outlet is
the MSC Craft Shop, located in the
northeast corner of the first lower
level of the Memorial Student Cen
ter.
The classes deal exclusively with
arts and crafts, ranging from chair
caning to leaded glass design to oil
painting. Advanced courses are of
fered in many popular crafts, but
most classes are of an introductory
nature.
Tuition cost varies by class and
most materials must be purchased
by the students. Classes are usually
taught in the evenings.
Free University is much like the
Community Education program,
with one exception and that is the
classes are free. Classes are taught
by volunteers and come in both the
lecture and demonstration format.
Registration for Free University
will be September 23 beginning at
8 a.m. in MSC 216 and 7p.m. in the
first floor corridor of the MSC.
Persons interested in teaching
courses where they have a particular
expertise are urged to contact Mary
Ann Wallace in MSC 216 or call
845-1515.
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.
