The Westminster College Jake Erhardt International Film Series continues Tuesday, Oct.19, at 7 p.m. in the Sebastian Mueller Theater located in the McKelvey Campus Center with "Babe."

 This 1995 Oscar-winning film about a pig who won't accept the edict "The way things are is the way things are"is both hilarious and heartwarming.

The International Film Series was recently named in honor of its founder, Dr. Jacob Erhardt, professor emeritus of German at Westminster College.  Erhardt, who taught at Westminster from 1968 until his retirement in 2004, served as chair of his department from 1970-1986, was named the Language Educator of the Year by the Pennsylvania State Modern Languages Association, translated into English Robert Reitzel's Adventures of a Greenhorn, and was recognized by the National Endowment for the Humanities as an outstanding member.

The event, which is part of an eight-film series, is free and open to the public

For more information, contact Dr. Deborah Mitchell, associate professor of English and public relations and coordinator of this event, at (724) 946-7030 or e-mail dmitchel@westminster.edu.
