THX 1138
Director George Lucas, who
also directed American Graflt
ti, made this film originally as
a short, which won the Grand
Prize at the 1967 National
Student Film Festival. He
expanded it to a full length
film of which the Los Angeles
Times says, '"...the real
excitement of THX 1138 is not
really the message but the
medium - the use of film not to
tell a story so much as to
convey an experience, a
credible impression of a
fantastic and scary dictator
ship to tomorrow."
THX 1138 is a man living in
a subterranean culture con
trolled and tyrannized by
computers. Everything is
regimented, human sounds
and dialogues are blotted out
by their whirring and by the
sounds of electronic communi
cation. Humans are kept
subservient to machines and
the new order by a steady diet
of down drugs which keeps
them from feeling and
relating. THX 1138 is a rebel.
He manages to reduce his
intake of drugs, regains his
humanity and revolts against
the system.

Guitarist Williams
in Sternberger
by Edith Kurie and John Ladd
...A Mike Williams concert.
Be there Friday night,
September 26 at 8:15 in
Sternberger Auditorium.
You'll find yourself laughing,
listening, thinking, choking
back tears and applauding for
more.
Mike Williams is good. He
is damn good. In fact, we think
he is so good we'll offer you a
proposition. You come to hear
Mike, and on the condition
that you don't like him (no
questions asked) we will make
reparations in mild disbelief.
Who is this guy? First of all,
you probably haven't heard of
him because the corporate
lawyers of a record company
are welching on his contract.
He's recorded an L.P. but the
company won't release it
because they make more
money on the deficit. The
lawyer-types won't let him
record for them any more but
they won't let him record for
anyone else. It's not like
others don't want him -- they
do. He's just signed one of the
most lucrative publishing
contracts in the business.
Here are the facts. Mike has
toured extensively with Tim
Weisburg and Doug Kershaw,
College students and faculty
(families) are welcome. Please
have I.D. card available if they
are requested.
♦lf there are questions
regarding pool usage, please
call 272-7102. ext. 250.
The GaM
and usually opens the show.
He received standing ova
tions. Opening artists aren't
usually well received, but
when Mike opened before the
Earl Scruggs Review at
Appalachian State, the aud
ience wouldn't let him go. He
gave two encores.
Mike is life in a calm
whirlwind. He was born in
Birmingham, Alabama, grew
up in central Texas, went to
UNC-Chapel Hill for 2 years,
served 2 years in the Army
we might note here that he
went through basic training 3
times. He refused to shoot a
gun. After the Army he
returned to Chapel Hill to take
his Journalism degree.
Mike's first record has just
been released. You have your
chance this week to hear him
sing with his 12-string guitar
- songs ranging from the
raucous trucker-type to the
sensitive stories of life and
people.
The "Denver Post" said
"Worth the price...a Colorado
balladeer named Mike Wil
liams, who's a right good
12-string guitarist and whose
incredible voice must span
three octaves."
A college newspaper in
Colorado said, "He's funky
enough to be believable and
talented enough to make you
feel guilty for only paying"....
75 cents. So sit back, relax and
decide for yourself, Septem
ber 26 at 8:15 in Sternberger.

New Concept in
Creative Education
Mrs. W.C. (Betty) Place has
announced her innovative
program to help the crafts
people of the area. She calls it
a "new concept in creative
education" and her workshop
also doubles as a sales outlet.
She urges that everyone
participate. Last Spring, when
she spoke with faculty, strff
and students on campus, they
seemed excited to know that
they would have a sales outlet
for their reactivity without
going through "the jury
process.
Already we have a tremen
dous response from all levels
of the creative ladder - from
small, gingham stuffed mice
to silk screen on Japanese silk.
It costs S2O a year to
non-renters of stalls for
working, to participate, (sales
are consignment and outright
purchase.)
Stall rentals for studios,
workshops and instruction,
with 80% "take" by the artist,
vary from sls-20 per month.
We hope to have 50-60 artists
and craftspeople showing the
public how our fine arts and
crafts are made right on the
spot. Plus, we have a van
which will go to the
insufficiently represented peo
ple and urge them to leave the
crutch of a pattern, kit or mold
