FILM DIRECTOR SPIKE LEE TO LECTURE AT VA. TECH

Movie director Spike Lee, whose films include "She's Gotta Have It," "Do the Right Thing" and "Jungle Fever," is scheduled to lecture at Virginia Tech on April 12.

Lee founded the movie production studio Forty Acres and a Mule. He is teaching a class at Harvard Unviversity on contemporary African-American Cinema.

His talk will address the American entertainment industry.

Lee's newest project is the soon-to-be-released chronicle of the life of slain black-rights leader Malcolm X, which stars Denzel Washington. The director also is editing footage he shot in Africa and Brooklyn for a video to go with Prince's next single, "Money Don't Matter 2 Night."

Tickets for the 8 p.m. show at Burruss Hall are $7 and will go on sale March 30.

The ticket office, which closed for the campus' spring break, reopens Monday at 10 a.m. Its hours are 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Monday-Friday. To order tickets by phone, call 231-5615 or (800) 843-8332.
