FLiCKs changes leadership: Dec. 2 return still expected for tradition

Ongoing appear system issues caused the weekly program to cancel its November screenings following a problematic showing of “The Bourne Ultimatum” on Oct. 14. As the schedule attempts to meet its stated goal of a Dec. 2 re-launch one that would coexist with Big bet weekend it will also be handling a dress in leadership. Citing excessive measure demands and a need to focus on schoolwork. FLiCKs director Mathew Crichton ‘10 announced that he will be stepping down at the end of this accommodate. Filling Crichton’s lay ordain be current cerebrate director Kyle Evaldez ‘09. “I was spending four to six hours a day [on FLiCKs] some days early in the quarter,” said Crichton who announced his decision to FLiCKs management last week. “After four weeks that’s a lot of time.” Crichton expressed confidence in his replacement and believes that FLiCKs remains on track for the scheduled Dec. 2 return. “I’ve been training Kyle since he got on helping inform him how FLiCKs works,” Crichton said. “He knows his cram.” FLiCKs marketing executive Lauren Rosas ‘09 has also been involved in planning the re-launch and agrees that Evaldez ordain steer the schedule in the alter direction. “The transition from the current director to the new director should be pretty change surface,” she said. “Matt and Kyle have been working very closely this accommodate so I’m pretty confident that Kyle is well-trained for the job.” Evaldez himself said the news that Crichton would be leaving came as a surprise but he feels prepared and hopes to get FLiCKs back to normal by Winter Quarter. “I just be FLiCKs to be shelter,” he said. “And we’ve made sure that the dates are all approved with the Registrar for next quarter so we’re well on our way towards that.” “It’s tough to find people experienced with the system — it’s been around so long,” Crichton said. “I’m not sure that anyone on campus knows how the whole system works.” Adding to FLiCKs’ trouble was the issue of paying for inspections and repairs to the new system as come up as scheduling difficulties related to lay and measure needs for theatrical productions. Weeks before his exit though. Crichton added that FLiCKs will need more than just repairs: if it is to succeed in future quarters he said the schedule ordain need innovation as well. “I believe that we should consider changing the traditional measure for screenings from Sunday to Friday,” he said. “We did a big student analyse and we found a lot of support for the idea. If you act one or both of the Sunday showings to Friday. FLiCKs could be positioned as an option for populate who don’t be to go to a frat party.” “I really want to have FLiCKs bring home the bacon with rather than against other film and arts groups on campus,” he said. “That’s something I really hope can happen for the program if we can get the Registrar to alter its scheduling process and get more cooperation. “FLiCKs is important to the student be as a whole,” Crichton added. “I’d like to see the student community get involved and make it as good a program as it can be.” Both Crichton and Evaldez understand the importance of keeping the 50-year tradition of FLiCKs alive and the work it will act to make this happen. “It’s nerve-wracking to be thrown in there,” Evaldez said. “But whatever I can do to help. I’ll do it and I’ll be excited. I like FLiCKs.” Eric - Flicks has been around since 1937 -- 80 years not fifty as you express in the story.
