Oakway
Cinema
Oakway Cinema
Oakway Malt. Coburg Rd.
Admission: S2
For a long time they billed the Oakway as
Eugene s biggest entertainment bargain unf
the other chains discovered that lots of people
come to the movies if the price is right
The Oakway has the biggest screen in Eugene
the most seats in a single theater good equip
ment. an excellent sound system and cold pop
corn ft's owned by the same small group which
owns the Film Fair, so most of the movies they
show are second or third run Occasionally they
get some really good classics or shows that were
good, but never quite made it On those
occasions the Oakway is one of the best bets m
Eugene
If you're looking for bargains watch for en
velopes of coupons in the mail The Oakway
sometimes sends out two-for-one coupons and
you can really save money if you can get your
friends to give you theirs

National

National Thaatar
969 Wlllamatta St. (on tha Mall)
Admission: $3.50, Thursday $1.50
The National is a thinner version of the
McDonald The only difference is that no matter
where you sit. you can't hear the soundtrack well
at the National Make sure you don't go there with
someone who's likely to pour popcorn over your
head if you continually ask what's being said
The National does have a nice, big screen and
the only waterfall curtain in Eugene Also, the
National isn't as cramped as other places — you
shouldn't have any trouble getting enough ox
ygen for a double feature
West 11th
Quad
West 11th Entertainment Canter
808 S. Seneca Rd.
Admission: $3.50, Tuesday $1.50
(Experimental Bargain Hour: $2.)
Once the movie starts at the West 11th, you’re
in good shape Until then, hang onto your pa
tience For some reason, the West 11th attracts a
lot of kids Don't get me wrong, I love kids — I was
one once, and still act like one on occasions It’s
just that there are certain situations in which
certain kids go crazy, and one of these is in movie
theaters
For instance, there was the time a kid in the
second row lit a sparkler in the middle of "Dragon

p*ri have taken mercy on you m the term o! Specs!
The first Specie! Deaf » known as the Economy Hour
l is tMiOons of Luxury Theaters and The Bargain Price to
Sp0«r» of Moyer Theaters The Deal Hi basically the
l*»ms; during the first hour or so the theater is open
0m,pm- te *m p m. weeknights at the Springfield
Ckiad and Cinema World, and untH 7 p.m. Monday.
*u-*d Thursday at the Weatttih and Valley,
) admission is raducad to *2. This price also
It should be noted thet Economy Hour and Bargain
rtee tickets are only good for the first show of the
to the first showing on weeked matinees
I
ami that the Moyer theaters are currently
experimenting with this system, so its continued exis
tence is tentative -
The second Special Deal is even better. The Moyer
folks call It ’Tightwad Tuesday/’ while the Luxury
Theater folks prefer ’ Thursday KUGN Bargain Night.’’
Once again, tee result is tee same On tee given night,
admission at any of tee {team's theaters Is only $1 SO.
This includes all showtlmes during tee evening, and Ht
hard to beat ^
Special Peals are also available just for being
students Present your current student i.D at the
Mayflower on Tuesday evening, and admission is just
$1 SO. Take your I.O. to the Bijou on Monday night, and
tickets are just $2 Or you can purchase special tickets
at tee EMU Main Desk for Moyer Theaters which are
good any time for just $2.85 (down from $3 10) See.
people still like college students, no matter what the
government does to your financial aid.
So. tee next time your mind pleads for a night away
from tee books and your budget pleads for relief, don't
give up.
Slayer” and then tried desperately to put it out
without catching the theater or himself on fire. Or
the time the actress in “Clash of the Titans" got
out of the tub, exposing her thigh to the three
adolescents behind me You’d think they’d never
seen human skin before.
If you’re going to a movie rated less than ’R’ at
the West 11th, be prepared. They always start the
film at least 10 minutes late (to leave lots of time
for junior high gossip), the front half of the
auditorium will be filled with youngsters, and
someone will scream halfway through the first reel
when icy Coke runs down their leg
The other bad thing about the West 11th is the
refreshments. To get a carton of old, cellophane
wrapped popcorn, you have to weave your way
through a maze of low railings like a cow on its
way to the slaughterhouse Like everywhere else,
the prices are too high and the Pepsi's too sweet.
The West 11th has three auditoriums and a
drive-in, so make sure your movie is where you
think it's going to be If you’re inside, the West
11th is a fine place to take your date if she's under
twelve or has a thing about Walt Disney flicks.
Springfield
Quad
Springfield Quad Cinemas
2005 Olympic St., Springfield
Admission: $3, Thursday $1.50, Economy Hour
$2.
The Springfield Quad is another clone of the
modern multi-cinema where everyone files past a
central refreshment bar to a series of doors
where, with the help of Monte Hall in an usher's
outfit, they pick the door that leads to their movie
Most of the seats at the Springfield Quad are
the new comfortable rocking type The first 15
rows don’t rock, evidently as an incentive to get
people to sit further back from the screen.
On the whole the Springfield Quad is a nice,
unobtrusive modern theater. The owners want to
keep it in its present good condition — trash cans
are located conveniently in the aisles.
