The University’s Student Activities Board will host an outdoor movie viewing of the summer blockbuster “Thor” tonight on the Parade Ground, according to Elaine Giles, SAB president and mass communication junior.
The event, which is free for students, will begin at 8 p.m., with popcorn and drinks served at 7:30 p.m. Giles said the event should last about two hours.
She said students are encouraged to “bring blankets and friends.”
“It’s become a tradition to have an outdoor movie at the beginning of school,” Giles said. “It’s a great way to blow off steam, meet people and watch a movie for free.”
She said SAB selected “Thor” because of its summer popularity.
“We try to show movies that haven’t been released to DVD,” she added. “It should be really cool.”
Giles said the event is funded entirely by student fees, and students will not be required to show their LSU ID for entrance. In case of rain, the viewing will be moved to the Royal Cotillion Ballroom in the Student Union.
