The movie is being shown Friday, Aug. 28 at 9 p.m. in the cam­pus quad.

“Up” is a story about a 78-year-old man who dreamed of see­ing South America as a young boy. Now he, along with his house and a stow­away boy, are in for an adven­ture of a lifetime.

This movie was cho­sen by Orientation lead­ers as part of Welcome Week and is being spon­sored by the Bulldog Beginnings Committee.

This is the third movie being shown this sum­mer on a ran­dom basis.

Teresa Fogel, stu­dent activ­i­ties assis­tant, said the weather did not coop­er­ate with the pre­vi­ous two. Instead, the movies were shown in the Rankin TV lounge. If the weather does not coop­er­ate this week, the movie will be shown in the Williams Auditorium the orig­i­nally planned time.

No admis­sion fee is required.

The Ranking Student Center and Dining Services will be donat­ing free pop­corn that Phi Sigma Kappa vol­un­teered to make for all audi­ence mem­bers. Dining Services were able to get Vitamin Water Company employ­ees to bring trucks to the Quad to pass out free water as well.

“Movies in the quad have been part of a long tra­di­tion that both stu­dents and com­mu­nity mem­bers have enjoyed. With the movie being played on the big screen, hun­dreds of peo­ple are fas­ci­nated by it and end up stay­ing to watch the movie”, said Fogel.

It also gives peo­ple the feel­ing that they are at a drive-in movie with their friends.

This activ­ity is a way to get out­side, make friends, and hang out with old ones all the while watch­ing a fun-filled fam­ily movie.
