Olympic film shows on campus
By BRIAN CHAPMAN
For the Emerald
“Games of the XXI Olympiad,”
the official film of the 1976
Montreal Olympic Games, has its
Eugene premier this Sunday, Feb.
5, at 7 and 9:30 p.m. in 150 Geol
ogy
The documentary film runs two
hours and is in full color. The
sound was recorded live in stereo,
thus authentically recreating the
atmosphere of the Olympics.
The National Film Board of
Canada used 168 persons, includ
ing 30 cameramen and 23 sound
engineers, to produce the film. It
was released in Europe a few
months ago and received rave re
views, according to the dis
tributors.
The movie manages to recreate
the magic of the Games by con
centrating on the human aspect.
The producer, Jacques Bobet,
defined one of the main aims of
this collective work. “A new hero,
man, is to emerge from the
athlete’s impetus, disillusion and
behavior differences.” Thus,
many portraits are finely outlined,
as well as portraits of the trainers
and all those others who hover in
the wings of the Games.
“I wanted an intimist film. To fol
low a few athletes. Catch them in
their ordinary behavior in order to
understand them better and try to
transmit this feeling to the spec
tator,” said Jean-Claude Labrec
que, director.
The medal-winning perfor
mances of gymnast Nadia Com
aneci, decathlete Bruce Jenner
and swimmer Kornelia Ender are
highlighted. However, there is
also footage devoted to the
triumphs and disappointments of
lesser-known athletes.
The distributors claim this film to
be a "masterpiece of the
documentary” and “as exciting as
the original event—a must for
sports lovers.”
The showing of “Games of the
XXI Olympiad” is sponsored by
Phi Epsilon Kappa, a group of
physical education students
whose aims include the attracting
to campus of outstanding speak
ers and films in the area of physi
cal education and sport.
Admission to the film is $1.
Cal’s Singleton
Player of Week
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) —
Sophomore Kevin Singleton of the
California Bears, after scoring 23
points in a Pacific-8 road victory
over Stanford, was named the
conference’s basketball Player of
the Week.
The 6-foot-6 forward scored 16
of his points in the second half of
Saturday night’s game which Cal
won 84-68.
He won the conference award
Monday, and the updated Pac-8
statistics showed his teammate,
guard Gene Ransom, now leading
the conference in scoring.
Others nominated were Ray

Oregon and James Woods of
Washington.
