Superman \ The Movie Soars In Atlanta
CRO Essay
Contest
Clark
Produces
Magazine
By Marcia E. Jones
Panther News Editor
Clark College will now have
its own magazine thanks to
journalism instructor James
McJunkins and the students in
the Atlanta University Center.
The first issue of Southern
Campus arrived on campus
in February. Clark is the
first black school in the
nation to have such a
magazine. Southern Cam
pus is for general audiences
with a focus on black
achievements.
Southern Campus was an
idea conceived by McJunkins
because of student interest in
magazine writing. The first is
sue was basically written by
interested students.
“Future issues will be done
by the magazine production
class,” said McJunkins.
“Anyone may submit articles,
but the magazine production
class has first priority.”
The funding of the first issue
of Southern Campus came
mainly from the Mass Com
munications department and
advertisements. However,
future issues will be funded
solely through advertising.
There will be a circulation of
10,000 throughout the Atlanta
University Center and the
Atlanta metropolitan area.
The first issue will be com
plimentary.
“If advertising is good, the
magazine will remain free,”
said McJunkins:

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s
“Superman, the Movie.”
Superman, which cost $40,-
000,000 to make and two years
to produce has soared into
Atlanta faster than the speed
ing bullet. Superman is an
entertaining and exciting
movie and as Richard Donner,
the director put it, Superman
is a comedy, a love story, an
adventure and its own thing.
But it is not a send-up.”
Christopher Reeve, who
portrays Superman offers his
interpretation of Superman as
being more than just a caped
hero that stands hands-on-
hips as bullets glanced off his
chest. “In a sense, he is a
stranger in a strange land, a
solitary man with extra-terres
trial powers, trying hard to fit
into his adopted planet.
“He has warmth and a fine
sense of humor, even about his
own super-human strength,”
says the young actor.
Superman dazzled the
audience with its splendid dis
play of special effects. Among
them were flying. While he has
flying he looked as if he
wanted to say, “Look Mom, no
strings.” When John Barry,
the production designer was
asked what was the most
challenging task, to my
surprise he said, “Designing
Superman’s Fortress of
Solitude in the Arctic.” He con
tinued, “It had to be like no
other movie set in history.”
Superman, (Christopher

Reeve) or Kal-El as he was
named, the son ot a scientist,
was bom on the planet
Krypton. When Jor-El,
(Marlon Brando), discovered
that Krypton was doomed for
destruction, he worked against
time to build a spaceship to
save his infant son.
On the day of Krypton’s des
truction, the baby was laun
ched through a time warp to
the safe and distant planet
Earth.
Kal-El’s spaceship landed in
Smallville, U.S.A. There, he
was discovered and loved by
Jonathan and Martha Kent,
who raised him to believe in
“truth, justice and the
American way.”
When he reached adulthood
he discovered his true identity.
To disguise his identity, he
became Clark Kent, a meek,
mild-mannered reporter for the
Metropolis Daily Planet, a
great metropolitan newspaper.
As Clark Kent he was
awkward, speechless and
clumsy. As Superman he was
very powerful, he could travel
faster than a speeding bullet,
out muscle a locomotive, leap
tall buildings at a single
bound, see through any
substance except lead, start
fires with a glare, freeze
deserts with his breath, and
among other things, he could
fly. His disguise was so con
vincing even Lois Lane
(Margot Kidder) whom he
loves, Perry White (Jackie
Cooper), the no-nonsense
editor of the Metropolis
Daily Planet, and Jimmy
King (con’t from page
Unlike many women in
volved in world affairs, Mrs.
King admits to combining her
roles as mother, wife,
colleague, friend, co-worker
and leader with enjoyment
and satisfaction.
The annual March for
Freedom on Monday, January
15 from Ebenezer to the State
Capitol completed the MLK
celebration agenda.
Olsen (Marc McClure), a cub
reporter were unaware that the
fumbling bumbling Kent and
the Man of Steel were the
same.
Superman made his debut
when he rescued Lois Lane
while she was hopelessly fall
ing from a helicopter that was
dangling on the edge of the
Daily Planet Building. The
helicopter accidentally hooked
on to a cable which caused it to
lose control and hang by the
rail on the edge of the building.
With Lois Lane in one hand
and the helicopter in another
he returned them both to
safety.
This incident stunned the
public and caused the atten
tion of Lex Luther (Gene
Hackman), the evil genius who
pits his cunning against
Superman’s strength. From
his luxurious lair in the bowels
of the earth beneath
Metropolis, he concocts the
most bizarre, yet weirdly
logical super-crime in history.
Lex Luther tries to destroy
Superman by using
Kryptonite in order to carry
out his fiendish plan of des
troying the West Coast, but
Superman intervened his
preposterous plan and
ocntinued his never-ending
battle against crime to protect
the weak and the innocent.
He will continue his battle in
Superman II next year.
Superman can be seen at
the National Four Theatre on
Old National Hwy.

Some 3,000 people
participated in this year’s
march and leading the
pilgrimage through the streets
of Atlanta were such noted
persons as Atlanta City Mayor
Maynard Jackson, Governor
George Busbee, U.N. Am
bassador Andrew Young,
musically talented Stevie
Wonder, Mrs. Coretta Scott
King, and countless others.

Con’t from page 1
MARTA is looking forward to
a fare increase to 25<P begin
ning the third month of this
year.
“We really think that many
students will benefit from this
new service because of the
number of young people visit
ing shopping centers in the
their leisure hours,”
Mollenkemp said. However, he
warned that the Transcard is
not transferable because the
signature of the user must
appear on the each card.
Mollenkemp also said that
the cards can be purchased at
the new MARTA Rides to re
located at 62-A Peachtree
Street, across from Central
City Park and also through the
mail by writing to MARTA’s
office at 401 W. Peachtree St.
30308.
Each month the graphic
design will change and begin
ning in July 1979, commuters
may alsm use the cards on the
East Rapid Rail Line.
