MSU’s Club Greenlight, a group of students with an interest in filmmaking, started rolling cameras on their humorous horror flick MSU: Midwestern Zombie University last week. The plan was to turn the campus into a post-zombie-apocalypse desert island of sorts where the few surviving students could try and claw their way out through the horde of the shambling undead. Despite months of preparation, the film had to go back into pre-production status, according to Club Greenlight president See ZOMBIE page 7 Arron Littleton For the Wichitan Moffett Library made $49,852.50 off of overdue materials during the 2008 calendar year, according to Jason Brezina, manager of the circulation department. In 2007, the library collected $66,373.40 in fines. MSU’s Moffett Library charges 25 cents per book per day late.

In college he was an aspiring mathematician. Now he’s a globetrotting, world famous acoustic guitarist. Who would have figured? “I want to make the guitar sing in traditional music,” McManus said.

It didn’t work out so well. “I wasn’t very good,” he said. “We tried another vehicle.” After bombing at violin, McManus’s father bought him a mandolin, which he taught himself to play, he said.

A group of MSU students will show the pioneer pornographic film “Debbie Does Dallas” at 6:30 p.m. Thursday. The adult film will be shown in the Fain Fine Arts building in Room C111. These students have gone through the necessary process to conduct the showing, including reading the Student Code of Conduct to make sure there was nothing preventing them from showing the film. “We also had to get the rights to show the movie,” senior mass communication major Ama Baffoe-Bonnie s aid. “The movie is owned by VCX, which is a Canadian movie company.

I worked with these obsessions to bring them together.” Most musicians start careers in their early 20s, not early 30s, McManus said. “I started playing professionally quite late,” he said. “But I went after it with a vengeance.” McManus was recognized by a BBC talent scout after he moved back to Scotland from his school in England.
