THINK YOU KNOW YOUR MOVIES?
Now is the time to prove it by playing the ultimate movie contest of skill:
moviecashgame .com
A guaranteed cash prize winner every day in this unique and challenging 24-hour, seven-days-a-week
contest of movie knowledge, moviecashgamejcom requires a $2 entrance fee per play with
Mastercard/Visa or ATM Debit cards. Answers and winners -the person(s) with the highest score
recorded (time-stamped) at the earliest time within the 24-hour period-will be announced each
succeeding day, along with the amount of their prize money.
Game designed by foremost film expert Jay Robert Nash, author of sixty books, including the multi
volume Motion Picture Guide of which Roger Ebert stated: “A film lover’s treasure. In one awesomely
ambitious publishing undertaking, the best of two worlds: scholarship of breadth and depth and critical
judgments of liveliness, intelligence and wit! A definitive reference work.”
There is no advertising on this website, just a pure contest of skill offering 24 questions in each day’s quiz (eight questions each
of true or false, multiple choice and matching, provided by Mr. Nash’s uniquely programmed database of more than 50,000 separate
movie questions). No question will ever be asked twice! Prize money is ten percent of all revenues received for each day’s contest
of skill; a meter showing prize money as it accrues from participants is displayed at all times and on all pages on our website. (Each
year moviecashgame.com will award a portion of its proceeds as scholarships to film schools around the world.)
You will never know the depth of your film expertise until you play

Alumni

replied that he’d received requests to
sing “Hello Dolly.”
Bancroft, who graduated in 1981,
never seduced Dustin Hoffman on
the big screen. But she was the first
woman to reach the North Pole by
dogsled, was named Ms. Magaziners
“Woman of the Year” in 1987, and
has spent her life leading polar expe
ditions. Diagnosed with dyslexia as
a child, Bancroft also taught special
education and sports.
She is currently on a quest to be the
first woman to ski and sail across
Antarctica.
Carol Schuler, a staff worker for
Bancroft Arnesan Expedition, said
many people mistake Bancroft for
Anne Bancroft, the actress.
“The first time I heard about her I
thought they were the same person,”
Schuler said. “I was like, ‘Gee, for an
old lady that’s pretty amazing... How
does that work?”’
People have also mistaken John
Frohnmayer for his older brother,
University President Dave Frohn
mayer. John Frohnmayer, who gradu
ated from the law school in 1972, said
newspapers inadvertently use his
name when referring to the Universi
ty president and vice versa.
He said it happened when he was
chairman for the National Endow
ment for the Arts from 1989 to 1992,
and the organization was criticized
for displaying controversial art. The
mistake also occurred during the
Worker Rights Consortium debate.
“We’ve been blamed for things the
other one was involved in,” he said.
“But sometimes it’s for good things.
Occasionally someone will compli
ment me for the good job I’m doing at
the Uni versity of Oregon
Other prominent names that are
frequently overlooked include film
director James Ivory, who garnered
an Academy Award nomination for
“Howard’s End.”
Ivory graduated in 1951 with a
fine arts major and now directs films
in New York. He said his experiences
at the University led to his success.
“Something told me I was in the
right school at the right time,” he
said.
Many University graduates also
became well-known leaders. These
include Jack Courtemanche, former
deputy assistant to President Ronald
Reagan, and Carol Hallett, who was
the U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas
in 1986 when much of the cocaine
coming to the United States was be
ing shipped through the Bahamas.
“It was a very important time in
history between the two countries,”
she said.
John Frohnmayer, who now works
in Bozeman, Mont., as a trial lawyer,
said he and his brother were especial
ly close during their years at the Uni
versity. The younger Frohnmayer
said he never took a class from his
older brother, although the president
taught law at the time.
He added that he still keeps up on
University news and talks to the pres
ident.
“I’m very involved with the Uni
versity,” he said. “But it’s not like I
give Dave advice or anything ... he
wouldn’t take it even if I did.”
Environment

“If we’re in a world that looks like
this, our politics are required to be
more radical,” Carter said.
Even if a society puts itself in this
destructive cycle, Carter said peo
ple can choose to stop polluting.
But, he added, such action may not
be successful because it is not easy
for a country to get out of an envi
ronmentally damaging cycle.
The solution, Carter argued, is
that a society should not become
trapped in it in the first place.

Lisa Blasch, a doctoral student in
philosophy, said she shares Carter’s
goals, but his presentation did not
raise any new concerns for her.
“I think he’s right about the cata
strophic nature of the environmen
tal condition,” she said.
Nancy Tuana, head of the Univer
sity philosophy department, said
Carter’s presentation sparked an in
teresting discussion from the audi
ence, which is one goal the depart
ment has for its presenters.
“The most important part of his
presentation was the links he estab
lished between nature and poli
tics,” she said.
