Tickets as low as 99 cents

It’s Friday night. You are
bored and broke A movie
sounds good, but spending $4
sounds ridiculous What do you
do?
You go to an economy movie
Several campus groups, the
Erb Memorial Union Cultural
Forum, and a few theaters in the
Eugene-Springfield area show
movies for under $2 Most of the
movies are on their second and
third runs and were re-released
from film producers at a lower
cost to theaters
Ananda Marga and the Sufi
Circle are two campus religious
groups that, along with several
fraternities and other campus
groups, show movies to fund
their various activities The
movies are usually shown in
Room 150, Geology, or in Room
180, Prince Lucien Campbell
Hall
The Ananda Marga society is
an international religious group
that combines yoga with per
sonal development According
to Shyam Logan, a local Ananda
Marga member, the group uses
the funds to help with "food
recycling" and their various
other local activities
Star Wars,
Reds, On
Golden Pond
The local society also dona
tes some of the profits to the
international Ananda Marga,
which uses the money tor social
concerns like sheltering the
children that were orphaned in
the 1977 Guatamalan earth
quake
According to Logan, the
society has some good quali
ty” movies lined up for this year.
Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost
Ark, Excalibur. Reds, Close
Encounters of the Third Kind
and On Golden Pond are a few
of the movies students can ex
—
pect to see for the $1 50 Ananda
Marga admission price
Logan says that the group
picks the films on several criter
ia, including quality and
whether the film has an uplifting
or a progressive political mes
sage He also says that while
they do look for films that will
bring a profit, the group also
sponsors quality films even if
they don't make a profit
"We are conscientiously op
timistic that we will make a
profit," Logan says, but he ad
ded that because of commercial
theaters that offer a discount
night and the increase of groups
that show movies on campus he
thinks the profits will be down
Monday of new student week
will start a brand new season for
the EMU Cultural Forum's
movie series That week the
EMU will present a whole week
of movies that will include
Animal House, Airplane and the
Kentucky Fried Movie, along
with several other films
Jan Warren, program advisor
for the EMU. said that 89 films in
all had been selected for this
upcoming year by a student film
selector, John Nafsirjger After
New Student Week, the films will
be shown on Friday, Saturday
and Sunday, with the more
commercial films shown on
Friday and Saturday, and for
eign films and classics shown
on Sunday, Warren says
Nafsinger has also scheduled
some double-features, and
some theme weekends that
show movies around a specific
theme Halloween weekend
(Oct 30-31) will feature Wait
Until Dark and The Innocence,
she says The price of admis
sion for the EMU movies is
$1 50
There are several theaters in
town that show more recent
movies, and still offer attractive
prices. The Oakway Cinema, in
the Oakway Mall, and the Fine
Arts Theater, 630 Main St.,
Springfield, are two such
theaters.
The theaters, run by LeRoy
Hulsey, a resident manager for
