The following procedures will deal with movies that are held on
The University of Memphis campus and sponsored by university
organizations: 

1.  Admittance - All University of Memphis (full time and part time)
    students, faculty and staff with valid U of M  I.D. plus
    accompanied guests may be admitted.  When admission charge is
    made, The U of M (full time and part time) students, faculty
    and staff with valid ID may purchase tickets for guests.

2.  Outdoor movies must be approved by proper university officials.

3.  Publicity - Advertising of students presented and sponsored
    movies will be limited to the confines of The U of M campus
    (Fraternities).  All advertisements must have the Affirmative
    Action clause displayed.

4.  Admission Change - Charges may be made for the showing of
    movies in order to cover and help defray the rental cost.
    (Movies are not to be used as money making projects.)  All
    ticket sales must be coordinated by The U of M Ticket Office
    when budgeted university funds are used. 

5.  Location - Movies may be presented on The U of M campus where
    appropriate scheduling and clearance are made in advance.  When
    admission charges are assessed, ID checkers must be provided
    at the entrance to the movie by sponsoring organization and
    controlled by sponsoring organization and advisor.

6.  Types of Movies - Only movies rated G, PG, PG-13 and R may be
    shown on campus.  All non-rated movies must have description
    attached to order and be approved by advisor to organization.

7.  Concessions at Movies - Approval must be secured with the
    University Food Service Liaison for any food or drink items
    distributed or sold during the movie.

8.  Solicitations or contribution collections will not be conducted 
    during the movie. 

9.  Sponsorship - Any recognized student organization with
    adequate funds to cover the cost of the movie and publicity
    prior to the event may sponsor a movie.  The sponsoring
    organization will assume the responsibility for the control of
    conduct of all participants at the movie.  Conduct must be
    consistent with university regulations and codes of conduct.
    Future scheduling of events will depend upon the organiza-
    tion's ability to control the conduct of those in attendance.

10. Video tape films shown on campus shall be in compliance with
    Federal Copyright laws.  Videotapes from local retail outlets
    marked for home use only may not be shown in public areas
    which include student lounges, assembly and meeting rooms,
    recreational areas, and most other areas outside of a private
    home or room.  Public Performance Videos which may be shown on
    campus, may be rented from licensed movie agencies by paying
    a fee for public showing which protects you from copyright
    infringement and the resulting legal fees, program suspension
    and fines.
