Extension Approved For Film Showings

Extension Approved
For Film Showings

SATURDAY MAY 1 8 1974

Student organizations which sponsor
public screenings of films at the Univer-
sity will be permitted to rent U-M audi-
toriums through June instead of being
cut off at the end of May.

The extension beyond May 31, a dead-
line imposed in a resolution the U-M re-
gents approved 5 to 3 at their April meet-
ing, was approved 7 to 1 Friday. The
"no" vote was cast by Regent Gerald R.
Dunn, D-Lansing, who also opposed the
concept of a more formal U-M policy
concerning campus film groups when the
concept was initially discussed last
month.

Regents approved the extension
through June on the condition that stu-
dent and faculty groups submit guide-
lines clarifying the financial responsibili-
ties of campus film groups in time for
consideration at the regents' June meet-
ing.

When the regents set the May 31 cutoff
a month ago, they also called on faculty
and student groups to develop "guide-
lines" for ft ,t 'satisfactory"
totheregfciii- »posal, simply
calling on film sponsors to show "ma-
ture judgment," was submitted to the re-
gents this month by President Robben
W. Fleming. Neither the "guidelines"
nor the "judgment" proposal were acted
upon.
