By Michael A> Posey | January 6, 1997

Featuring such blockbusters as this summer's alien-bashing hit "Independence Day" and Roman Polanski's horror classic "Rosemary's Baby," the Dartmouth Film Society hopes its newest installment of veritable Hollywood classics and new-age flicks will cause as much hysteria as its title suggests, "Cinema Paranoia." This term's venue offers a cinematic panorama of films which plays on audiences' phobias and also caricatures some of our more outrageous fears.

"We are just really excited about where we are at," Captain Sea Lonergan '97 said.

The dance troupe Pilobolus, which is more than deserving of its definition, gave an astounding program of dance and movement at the Moore Theater last night.
