Every other Friday night a new adven- ture was brought to the screen of King ' s own student run movie theatre, Alfred. More than 25 movie-minded students composed various committees. A film selec- tion committee chose each film to be shown from selections offered by several film com- panies. The presentations were advertised by P.A. announcements and posters created by the publicity group. The actual showing was handled by the electronics committee com- posed of several student projectionists, while other students sold popcorn, candy and drinks. The movies were shown at the low price of 35 cent.s, except for special showings, such as the planned presentation of BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID. The entire affair was handled in a relaxed manner with the audience occuppying folding chairs or lounging on pillows on the floor. 54 Organizations

Mu Alpha Theta Chalks Up Mathematical Year Tangents, factorials, square roots and advanced math terms were common words among Mu Alpha Theta members. The pur- pose of this club was to promote scholarship in and enjoyment and understanding of mathematics. As the club advanced toward these goals, a possibility existed of winning a nationally-sponsored award. This, however, was not the main idea of the club and the Thursday afternoon meetings were more involved with learning and enjoying math. Several members of the King faculty spoke to the club as well as a guest speaker from a petrolejini association. Other activi- ties were a trip to the University of Texas in the spring and a visit to N.ASA. Corpus Christi. The selling of King pennants for two vears raised the money for these field trips. Head mathematician was Steve Lasater who served as president. Patti Raine helped him lead the club in her role of vice president. Denise Baker and Cheri Perry- were secretary and treasurer, respectively, while Mike Grey was historian. Mr. Bill King a.ssisted and spon.sored the club.
