This week, Dean Larry Kirkman of the School of Communication will begin hosting "Dean Screen," a series of classic films,--shown as double features--and commentary from Kirkman.
The new program allows students to enjoy free movies, donated by Tom Karsch, Turner Classic Movies executive vice president and AU alum. The SOC Undergraduate Council will provide free popcorn.
Kirkman and Karsch will screen "The Birds" and "Psycho," two Alfred Hitchcock classics for the series' Halloween-themed debut in the Wechsler Theatre Wednesday at 8:30 p.m.
The Dean Screen's second installment, which will feature two yet-to-be-determined holiday-themed classics, is scheduled for Nov. 30. Depending on student response, the series will continue with monthly screenings throughout the spring semester, American Weekly reported.
