I haven't had direct contact with Florida State but have at least one student who wants to go there if she ever scrapes up the money for post-grad work. I've received a lot of their publicity material lately, and their program looks very ambitious. They've just inaugurated a new film study center. With the Disney/Universal studios in Florida, I wonder if FSU is trying to build contacts and revive the dream of Florida as a Hollywood South, abandoned by 1915 or so. FSU also hosts an annual conference on film and lit. I haven't been to one of them for some time, but found it to be one of the more pleasant academic gatherings I'd been to. Tallahassee isn't quite as nice as further south in January, but it beats the Northern Plains! --Don Larsson, Mankato State U., MN
