"He's a real big Steven Spielberg fan," Zoe Yeaton (junior-psychology) said of Penn State President Graham Spanier, who guest-lectured to Yeaton and the rest of her Comm 150 (The Art of the Cinema) class today.

Before they watched the Spielberg-directed Amistad in the State Theatre, Spanier talked to the class about his love of movies (he writes an annual list of movie reviews in the winter) and his love of Schindler's List.

"It was sort of informal. I don't really know what the point of him talking to us was," Yeaton said. "But it was sort of entertaining to have Graham Spanier in our Comm 150 class talking about movies, of all things."

Yeaton said her classmates were unusually quiet while Spanier was speaking.

"They were definitely a little bit more respectful. Since it's in the State Theatre people usually talk, but they mostly shut up," she said.
