This bureau, operated by the mass communication help the photography student while providing service to those who need it.

"It is not a profit organization, Hendricks says. "The photobureau is an image service," the TA added. "A picture is not just a picture; it has to have a meaning behind it." He said he thinks there are too many pictures taken without telling the story the way it is.

(Photobureau photo by Christy Hale) Nightmare on screen Mystery exploits tragedy By Mike Brand Pity the Texaikana Chamber of Commerce. Pity the families of the victims of five grisly murders which took place in the mid'40s. Above all, have pity on the citizens of Texaikana. The reason for this pity is the new American International release, "The Town that Dreaded Sundown." This film, which is told in documentary form, deals with a hooded psycho killer who murdered five persons and injured three others in the small Ozark town. It is built around the suspense factor that the murderer, who is called the "phantom killer," still may be alive and living in the very town in which he achieved his infamy.

So, what the producers of this film have done is rekindled plenty of bad memories for those associated with the actual incidents and opened a Pandoras box of kooks ready to continue the "phantom killer" legend. Who suffers most from all of this? The Texarkanans do. The movie opens with a lovers lane couple being badly mauled, and later another couple gets murdered in a downtown park. Plenty of humor is interspersed- in the movie, most of it centered around an inept police officer nicknamed "Sparkplug" who drives a police car into a lake, dresses up as a female decoy, and usually is good for a few laughs whenever he appears. This mixture of humor with fact saves "The Town as it wakes the audience when things begin to lag.

Ben Johnson is outstanding in the roll of J. D. Morales, an investigator reported to be the best in the country, who comes as the messiah to find the killer. He plays his role so convincingly one would think he really is a police investigator. The major flaw of the movie is the absence of a 1940s motif.

The houses, clothes and furniture are all anachronisms. Only the automobiles seem to fit the proper time. Ali things considered, the Campus clubs register movie is entertaining and would appeal to those who savor unsolved murder mysteries. But the strangest thing of all is why the producers chose this particular mass murder to make a movie. Only those persons older than 40 would remember the event, and probably most of them had forgotten about it anyway.

Since that time, there have been far more prolific murderers (and murderesses) whose unsolved doings would appeal to a greater number of persons. But this may be the start of a new trend. Look what the apes did eight years ago, and disaster films still are very much in, as are movies of oppression. Don't be surprised if a great many more movies of legendary mass murderers come out in the near future.
