The Michigan Daily-Sunday, February 4, 1979-Page 7 HENDRIX FLICKS Theater to reimburse patrons of mixed-up movie Bv TIMOTHY YAGLE Oy IIVU1nII "' Joel Brattin called it "a blatant case of consumer fraud." Randall Lynch said he was simply "ripped off." The State Theater willingly reimbur- sed movie-goers yesterday in an ap- parent case of misleading advertising stemming from the theater's showing of less than half of an anticipated Jimi Hendrix midnight double feature Friday-night. AUUORDINiG'TOLynch, one of the disappointed Hendrix fans, adver- tisements in the theatre's display win- dow advertised the Hendrix mmirin "Jimi Plays Berkeley" and "A Film About Jimi Hendrix." Advertisements for the film also appeared on the theater's marquees and its recorded events message. Mrs. Nancy Miller, a manager of the theater, said, "All we wanted to adver- tise was the picture (of Hendrix). We had nothing but the picture of Jimi. We covered up every line of printing of "Jimi Plays Berkeley." An advertisement in Friday's Michigan Daily listed only "Jimi Plays Berkeley" and "Love Is Hard to Get," with no mention of "A Film About Jimi Hendrix." BARRY MILLER, another manager at the theater, said, "I don't know how they (the movie-goers) misinterpreted the two ads." But he refused further comment. Assistant Manager Jim Firth, who was the only manager at the theater Friday night, was told by Miller not to comment. Lynch said yesterday, "We're sup- posed to see two films and we only get one. . . and they cut at least 20 minutes of the first one. The quality of the movie was poor, too," he continued. "The film was backwards at the end." Lynch said that when the movie was about three- quarters over, "they shut everything down." The crowd, estimated by Lynch at between 200-250, was seated entirely in the balcony because of remodeling work on the main floor and voiced its displeasure with the movie's abrupt ending. At that point, several people went-to the manager to demand refun- ds. Lynch said Miller called the police te subdue the crowd, which he called "really cool." Eight officers responded. Lynch claimed "There was no violence at all," and by the time the police came, most of the other patrons had lef. Lynch said no arrests were made. Those who did return to the theater yesterday (they came in a steady flow starting at around 1 p.m.) were given a choice of a refund or a free pass to any other State theater "late show" through Proposal (Continued from Page1) Delinquency (MCCD), a "systems change" agency based in Lansing, went on record as opposing the proposal. "There are no statistics justifying the claims of crimes committed while out on bail," said Beth Arnovits, assistant director of MCCD. "Promoters played on horror stories. Crimes committed by those on bail are the exception to the rule." Statistics compiled by Bettie Magee, coordinator of the pre-trial in- K's effective date still uncertain mid-March, Miller said. 1 a vestigation program for Washtenaw County, reveal that out of the 540 in- stances where bail was granted to in- dividuals seen by the pre-trial program from January 1-October 25, 1978, only 18 were re-arrested for felonies while out on bail. Magee admits that these statistics do not take into account crimes committed by any of these 540 individuals still out on bail after Oc- tober 25, 1978. "PROSECUTORS are infinitely frustrated by any criminal reform," said attorney King. "They take advan- tage of the public's ignorance of what goes on in the criminal justice system." King added that first offenders can be effected by the proposal if they were accused of any of the five enumerated crimes. William Delhey, head prosecuting at- torney in Washtenaw County, shrugged off the law's significance by stating, "It doesn't make a lot of difference. High bonds couldn't be met anyhow., It is too early to see what the effects of the proposal will be, since as of now, it is officially slated to go into effect in May. The few cases where K is invoked before that date, under Article 12 of the constitution, will not be enough to determine the law's effect on crime. Various lawyers and organizations are in the process of challenging the con- stitutionality of the proposal, but results will not be seen for some time. p" Sigma Nu dance marathon yields wild antics, swollen feet, funds for diabetics (Continued from Page 1) Friday: one couple because of a job conflict, one because of a test, another because of the hockey game, and one pair because an aching foot took its toll. "Thirteen couples originally registered, and nine showed up," said Bill Hamm of Sigma Nu, chairman of the dancathon. It's run like a walkathon - each couple obtains pledges per hour danced, the average being five to 10 cents'an hour. The marathon consisted of four-hour dance periods, with a half- hour break in between. Dinner, lunch, breakfast, and snacks are provided for the participants when they need it. THE WINNING couple must com- plete 30 hours of dancing, in addition to raising the most money. The first prize - paid for by part of the money raised in the marathon - is a one-week vacation in Florida over spring break. The couple in second place is treated with a weekend at Caberfae, donated by Caberfae to the Diabetes Association. The marathon in 1977 raised $4,400, and the marathon held last year raised $5,000. Bill Hamm predicted that his fraternity will be close to the 15,000 mark this year. Said Hamm, "We had more people register this year, but about the same turnout. It's hard to get people to dance because of studying. The marathon takes 30 hours of time plus a loss of sleep." In addition to the repetitive recorded disco- music, Sigma Nu brought, in a band each night from about 9:00 to 1:00 a.m. and opened the dancing up to anyone interested. Approximately 250- 300 people entered the ballroom Friday to move to the disco beat of "Solid For- ce." Last night the rock band In the afternoon some people play BILLIARDS Open 1 p.m. TQDAY at the UNION "Gabriel" made an appearance. The couples remained in good spirits throughout Friday night in the lonely, closed union. They passed the time by playing frisbee and basketball, especially during the most difficult hours of the early morning: 2-8 a.m. The survival rate for past marathons is approximately 50 per cent. "We had a bunch of people lined up - but they all chickened out. People realize the intensity of it - who'd want to dance 30 hours except for a few nuts?" commented Huron junior Kevin Harding. -. . -- Entertainment Comes to the Stage Doori Magic Right before your very eyes, illusionist L.ee Darrow performs every Sunday from 5 p.m. until closing ... possibly right at your very table!
