, AUGUST 29, 196 r THNE MICRI+GAN DAILY _ i How To Stretch Your Dollars In Ann Arbor By ELLEN FRANK Ann Arbor often seems like the only restaurant inside a crowded airport-prices can be high because it is the only thing that's there. Ann Arbor's theatres long ago gave into the price rise. Concerts at Hill Auditorium can cost as much as $6 for a single seat. Even the Union has given up the 10 cents cup of coffee. And in more academic realms--libraries charge 25 cents an hour for overdue overnight books. But the sophisticated student, if he looks long and hard, can find some reasonably-priced ways of having fun. Happily some means of Ann Arbor entertainment have adjusted for the poor struggling student, whose parent's income falls below the University's median of $17,000. Film A typical male student refers to the film opportunities here as ". .. a great place for a cheap date." The university film societies-Cinema Guild and Cinema II -cost only 50 cents. Cinema Guild, in the auditorium of the Architecture and Design School, shows a wide spectrum of films, from early American silent comedies to modern works of Antonioni. Showings are Thursday through Sunday during the academic year at 7 and 9:05 p.m. Cinema II is geared toward the more popular Hollywood creations of recent years. Showings there are on Friday and Saturday evenings at 7 and 9. The Newman Center-the Catholic students' association- also presents films. Their program of mainly foreign films is scheduled sporadically through the academic year. The price is again 50 cents. In the area of experimental film, the Cinema Guild, in cooperation with the Dramatic Arts Center presents the five day Ann Arbor Film Festival in early March. Entrance is only 75 cents for the festival, the largest of its kind in the country. During the same weekend, the Canterbury House on Maynard Street offers an 8 mm. film festival. Theatre The Speech Department presents student performed, di- rected and costumed Lab Bills sporadically but often during the academic year. Performa~nces are advertised in The Daily. Entrance is free. As enjoyable for adults as for children are the productions of the University Players Children's Theatre. The plays are scheduled irregularly on Saturday afternoons. Adult admission is $1; and 50 cents for children. Lectures and Discussions Several organizations in Ann Arbor are open on a regular basis for discussion. Among them is the Guild House at 802 Monroe where lunch with a topical discussion by professors and students is available for 25 cents every Friday and Monday at noon. Discussions are held at the Ark, 1421 Hill St., each Thurs- day and Friday night. Fifty cents covers entrance, coffee and donuts. Saturday nights the Ark has entertainment-usually a band or singer, for $1. Each January there is a Writer-in-Residence program. A noted author or critic spends three weeks doing lectures, acting on panels and numerous other events-all of which are free. Uncountable other interesting lectures, discussions and debates are held nearly every day somewhere on the campus. To keep up on these, check the Across Campus column in The Daily or the University Calendar posted weekly in most University buildings. Music It is possible to hear good rock or blues for less than $1. The Prime Movers play at Clint's Club Bar, 111 E. Ann, on weekends. Slow drinking of beer is cheap. Unfortunately, you must be 21. The Seventh Seal is known well in Ann Arbor for its free concerts of rock and adapted Eastern music. In warm weather they often play on Sundays at West Park, Seventh St. and Huron. Time and date of concerts are found on signs hung throughout the city. A Dixieland band plays nightly at Bimbo's, 114 E. Washing- ton. To keep it under $1, drink slowly in this sing-along style bar. Classical music is free in abundance. The School of Music offers many concerts and recitals, from symphonies to chamber music. Monthly schedules are available in the ticket office on the first floor of Burton Bell Tower. The concerts are generally held at the School of Music on North Campus (easily reached by bus), with some on the main campus at Rackham Auditorium and Hill Auditorium. Museums and Collections The University Museums Building at Washtenaw and North University houses the Exhibit Museum-a storehouse of natural history focusing on the state of Michigan. The museum is open from 8 to 5 Monday through Saturday, and 1:30 to 5:30 on Sundays. The Mineral and Geology Exhibits of the Natural Science Building on North University is a good place to spend time between classes. It is also wise to check out the Kelsey Museum of Archae- ology on State Street between classes. Collections of Roman and Near Eastern archaeology are here with emphasis on the University excavations in Egypt. The Museum of Art in Alumni Memorial Hall on State Street is open Monday through Saturday, 9 to 5; Sunday 2 to 5. The new lighting and design of this recently renovated building complement the remarkable and divers ecollections of art. Miscellaneous Every so often, for some Midwestern College Rah-Rah, there will be a weekend of partially free festivities for the campus as a whole. These include Homecoming, Winter Week- end, and Labor Day Weekend. Each weekend announces its program with signs on the Diag and notices in The Daily. Many believe the Blue Front to be the best place in Ann Arbor to spend a 'few leisurely hours.
