Warner Bros, is rapidly
changing its outlook and its
production organization to keep
up with the recent trends in
experimental filmmaking. They
have restructured their organi-
zation so that films are farmed
out to various directors, drasti-
cally altering the static quality
of intra-studio production, and
they are developing projects to
utliize the talents of college
film studentis.
Warner's has announced plans
for programs in professional
filmmaking, training, education,
and film entertainment to be
made available to the 450 col-
leges and universities making
up the National Entertainment
Conference.

non-theatrical division, will co-
ordinate the project, which is
designed as a positive response
to collegiate complaints about
film company apathy toward
student filmmakers, rising film
rental costs, and problems of
relaying knowledge of Holly-
wood technical skills to film
students.
NEC member institutions will
have a chance to utilize the
services, facilities, and products
of a major motion picture com-
pany for the first time. Lead-
ing film personalities will take
part in the project through lec-
ture series on college campuses.
The professional training pro-
gram will offer college students
one or more filmmaking work-
shops annually, with WB tech-
nicians providing assistance in
the production of a color film;
a film festival with prizes up
to $500 and an opportunity for
student filmmakers to sell their
works to Warner's; and sum-
ner Bros, either at the com-
pany's Burbank studios, or on
location, or at the home office
in New York.
The educational phase of the
project will offer lecture series
by producers and directors
associated with Warners's;
study guides on producing,
directing, photography, sound,
editing, and other topics, writ-
ten for Warner Bros, by experts
in their respective fields; and
traveling exhibits of Warner
Bros, posters, photographs,
drawings, and sketches.
The entertainment program
will enable NEC and other par-
ticipating schools to rent 16mm
films from Warner's under their
new Cinegroup plan.
The program promises an
opportunity for film schools to
diversify their programs into
previously closed areas of film
experience, perhaps providing
freer access to the established
modes of production and distri-

"MOVING
ON"
New Novel by
Larry McMurtry
"Moving on" is the story of a troubled restless
girl, whose search for self identity
in a harsh and masculine world carries
her across the face of modern Texas.
McMurtry's brilliant story telling ability,
the reality of his characters, and the
fact that a portion of the narrative takes
place on the Rice campus make the
book of special interest.
