IN REVIEW IN REVIEW IN REVIE Film Committee Presents . . . The last film committee that our graduating class will remember was made up primarily of two looneys named John Pedini and Jim Kennedy. These clowns may never be forgiven for cancelling ‘Fanny Hill’, but some of the epics that they have presented will never be forgotten. In case you have forgotten any of them, we present the following list of titles and synopses to refresh your memory: RUNNING Michael Douglas and Susan Anspach star in this thriller about a nose during cold season. Ed and Lor- raine Warren did investiga- tive work on the real life case upon which this film is based. The Warrens claim that the nose was possessed by demonic phlegm. Dog: Larry Lin- ville. The Nose: Angelo Scola. METEOR department An asteroid is plummet- ing to earth and only a theatrical production by David Seiffer can stop it. Barbara Walters: Ann Marie Shea. Camera Man: Paul Davis.

IN REVIEW IN REVIEW IN REV YOU WERE THERE . . . When the sky fell When we seniors re- turned to WSC for our ju- nior year we found certain areas of the student union closed to us. It wasn’t be- cause we were under-aged or even because some out- side interest reserved the first floor. Why, then? Very simply, the roof was falling in. Well, okay, not really the roof. Some faulty panes of glass dropped out of the sky-light at their lei- sure. It may have been very dangerous, but we didn’t think so when we filed this report back in September, 1978 . . . As most of you know by now, glass has been falling from the skylight of the student union. The glass falls with such a force that it breaks immediately upon hitting the floor. No one knows exactly why it’s fall- ing, but there has been some speculation. Rumor has it that: Paul Joseph has been seen wearing golf shoes and tap dancing on the roof of the Student union. A campus police officer boasted that he could shoot a hole in the floor while blindfolded, but upon at- tempting to do so missed and shot a hole in the ceil- ing. New dean of students Ina Mason unfamiliar with the campus, was tricked into thinking that the quick- est way to her office was through the roof. ‘President Orze took a flying lesson. This is, of course, only rumor, but we did try to come up with some facts. We asked Bill Jarvi about the glass. “It’s one big pain, get it? Pain? You know like win- dow pane? Aw, forget it.” While Jarvi did entertain us with his hilarious sense of humor, we still needed some questions answered. We found that, as usual, Chief Roger Gordon was on the case. Gordon tells us that he almost made an ar- rest one night when he caught Ella Fitzgerald snooping around with a tape recorder. “We thought she was out to shatter some glass with that noisy voice of hers.” said Gordon. Charges were dropped when it was dis- covered that her alleged tape recorder was loaded with Radio Shack record- ing tape and not Memorex, as in the foolish commer- cial. Believing that falling glass might conceivably come under the jurisdiction of buildings and grounds, we spoke to Paul Regan. “I don’t know too much about it,” said Regan “The man you want to talk to is Janatar Byl.” Unfortu- nately, we could not get an appointment with Byl. While trying to get an over-all picture of the prob- lem, we decided to research the history of the falling glass. The most recent episode came late in Au- gust when a pane of glass fell onto the information desk area where several of the Student union’s sum- mer employees were gathered. Lancer Society chairman Keith “Basic Buck’’ Litchfield, who heroically threw himself out of the way of the falling glass to safety, said there I was “nothing spectacular” about his action and that he “would probably do it again” if given the same situation. Litchfield denies reports that prior to the glass falling he made the statement “I promise great programming on campus this, or may I be struck by a bolt from the blue.” Former WSC student Paul Sisson was hit by some of the falling parti- cles. Sources inform us that, while the incident was indeed frightening, Sisson does not live in fear of the student union an plans to make many more visits there. This is the information we have so far. Some of it is fact, some speculation. But what does the future hold? One report has it that the college has retained the legal services of Dr. Robert Spector in an attempt to file- suit against the individual panes of glass. The suit charges with negligence for arbitrarily falling without warning. Informants tell us that the glass is interested in settling out of court. Finally, what it comes down to is simply that we’ll have to wait and see what happens. Meanwhile, cer- tain areas of the Student union are closed to most people for fear of injury, but hard headed persons are safe from falling parti- cles, so expect to see lots of faculty members roaming freely about the building.
