Finehout Summer Film Festival features vintage movies
Davis Library and the The Media
Resources Center (MRC) at the Undergraduate Library have announced
the return of their summer film series. Screenings will be held
Thursday nights at 8:30 p.m. (excluding holidays) through July
22 on the patio in front of the Lenoir Hall Coffee Shop.
The next film in the series will be "Bringing
Up Baby," on May 20. It is followed on May 27 by "Notorious,"
"Top Hat" on June 3 and "Young Frankenstein" on June 10.
The film series showcases the library's
strong holdings of classic film titles in excellent 16mm prints.
The films are all part of several collections acquired by the
MRC and the library in the last 10 years. The most recent and
largest acquisition was a gift of approximately 530 feature,
documentary and short subject films from Robert Finehout, a
friend of the library's from New Jersey.
For more information and to see the schedule
of films, refer to: www.lib.unc.edu/house/mrc/html/events.html.
In case of rain, there is no indoor venue.

Second annual 'Magic in the
Garden' to feature storytellers, games, concert
The North Carolina Botanical Garden
is devoting the afternoon of May 22 to fanciful fun, as it hosts
the second annual "Magic in the Garden" event.
Scheduled for 1 to 4 p.m., the free event
is planned in partnership with N.C. State University's School
of Design's Early Childhood Outdoors Design Institute.
Activities will include a musical concert
by Jimmy McGoo; storytellers Rebecca Ashburn, Claire Basney
and Suzanne Mitchell; and an activity to create a wizard hat
from natural materials.
Parents and children will learn how to
build a natural "fairy home," and games will include cloud watching,
weaving clover chains, digging in the soil and searching for
hidden jack-in-the-pulpits in the garden.
Pre-registration is required for the event,
which will take place rain or shine. For more information or
to register, call 962-0522.
