to save the rest for the spring
term.”

‘Let There Be Surf'
Screens October 2nd
“Let There Be Surf,” Jim Free¬
man’s color surf movid, will
screen in Sexson Auditorium on
October 2 at 8 p.m.
The movie begins with several
scenes of the Bonzai Pipeline, the
Hawaiian surf spot, and features
Butch Van Artsdalen, known as
"Mr. Pipeline.”
One scene shows a “hair-rais¬
ing, hilarious” encounter between
a streamliner and a little blue
jeep.
Photographer Freeman tried to
get away from the usual big
waves featured in most surf
movies. “Although they (the
smaller waves) are much harder
to photograph, nearly everyone
seems to appreciate small four to
six foot waves,” he said.
Tickets will sell at the door the
night of the performance at $1.50
each.
