Veritas Changes To Ivy Films to Escape Law Suit

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Faced with a possible law-suit, Veritas Films last night changed its name to Ivy Films.

The action came after Veritas Productions of Hollywood threatened to sue for profits and damages if the College group continued to use its name. Veritas Productions claimed to have had the title since 1936.

The Legal Aid Society last week informed Veritas Films that the Hollywood firm had an open-and-shut case. It added that the company could win a restraining injunction, and get extra publicity from the Veritas name.

Ivy Leads Field

At last night's meeting, the club tossed out such suggestions as Cinetas, Fairharv, and Satirev--Veritas spelled backwards--and voted in the new Ivy Films.

The group will open its first movie, "A Touch of the Times," later this year under the new name. It has already edited 2,600 feet of the film, and has just 100 feet left to go.

Club officers hope to run a special showing this week for Sam Levine, star of "Crossfire."
