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: By Gloria Johnson Panther Reporter 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 HELP PEOPLE UNITED WfttO 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. i) 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. What do you think about Clark College?
