Eric Liga, coordinator of Schloctoberfest and a senior com puter science major, said he ex pects the turnout to the event to be better than last year’s inaugur al festival. He said “schlock” film is a specialized type of art film that began when directors made films on a minimal budget. “Schlock is film so bad it’s good,” he said. “It’s a lost art. We’re bringing back fun and giving students a chance to have fun and be a part of something.” Diana Liga, chair of Cepheid Variable and a senior landscape ar chitecture major, helped organize the first Schloctoberfest and is helping again this year. “Cepheid Variable is known for being different,’’, she said. “We’re science-fiction people who read a lot. 1 wanted to do something different where people have a sense of participation. You don’t have to sit back and listen — you can join in. Eric Liga said this year’s festival has twice as many film entries as last year. He said last night they screened History of Schlock and Babylon Park, Episode 0 as well as last year’s student entries. The films will be judged by Dr. Michael Hand, a professor in the philosophy department, and Dr. Chuck Taylor, a lecturer in the Eng lish department. A variety of awards will be pre sented at the conclusion of the fes tival. Last year’s award categories included funniest, schlockiest, most original and the Carl Oscar Award, which is presented to the best of show. “‘The Carl’ is like an Oscar award except its heads hands, separate fromiis he said. He said prior to Schta Cepheid Variable memte get her and made films. “We had a big schlock' said.
