The recipient was William S. Vaughn, chief executive officer and chairman of the board of Eastman Kodak Co. It was his first honorary degree. A doctor of laws degree was conferred on Vaughn Oct. 19 at a Saturday morning convocation, the principal academic event of weekend ceremonies dedicating the Institute's new $60 million campus. Vaughn was honored for his leadership of one of America's greatest industrial giants, his own achievements as a scholar and his staunch advocacy of continuing education for all. AGE'S Mort Stein Teaching Cinematography Mort Stein, assistant director of the Alan Gordon Enterprises inc. Motion Picture Department, is teaching a 1 3-week course in "Basic Cinematography" at Columbia College in Los Angeles. Stein says the course covers different camera movements camera mounts, exposure meter use and other areas of cinematography. He plans to invite many of the leading motion picture camera manufacturers to act as guest lecturers during the course. Show Them the Way We commend Mort Stein (above) for his effort and work on behalf of preparing students for their entry into the working film industry. It reminds, us, however, of a question we've heard a lot in several places . . . "Is enough being done to prepare younger people for their careers in film-making?" Many bemoan the lack of knowledge and skills of the young men and women entering the field at the present time, and insist that they aren't properly prepared. Perhaps the answer to the problem lies in activities just like Stein's on a wider scale . . . with the "pros" teaching the finer points to the younger people. We see limited signs of such success here and there. For example, Washington, D.C. Scriptwriter Paul Simon is presently teaching a course on "Writing the Documentary Film" at George Washington University. What better way for those students to be adequately prepared for their futures in that realm than to learn the art from a successful "pro" in the business? On the brighter side, there are signs that more is being done in this direction than ever before. The American Film Institute has begun an internship program, funded film workshops for ghetto areas . . . the IFPA has helped the Studio Watts program (see page 46) . . . and student film programs and competitions guided by experts and programs like that described on page 50 of this issue are still other examples of what can be done. But, as Lee Bobker of Vision Associates, commented in a BLISINESS SCREEN interview in the last issue, "The great need in the field is for iiileni committed to the art of film . . ." Perhaps initial efforts like those of Mort Stein. Paul Simon and the others mentioned can begin a trend ... a trend toward the proper preparalion of young people for a valuable and mutually fruitful future in the film industry through guidance provided by experts in the business throughout the country. We hope so. point & period 112 BUSINESS SCREEN • 1968
