January 22, 1969 THE MONSTER THAT DEVOURED CLEVELAND UNPALATABLE The Cheezy Budgets pro- duction of The Monster That Devoured Cleveland left much to be desired, though the able directing of Arn Pitts, cousin of Zazu Pitts and son of Olive Pitts, was superb. THE MOUNTAIN ECHO FEATURES We feel that the casting of Raquel Welch as the help- less, mealy-mouthed, snotty grandmother was some- what forced, although she tried valiantly to overcome her somewhat obvious physical handicaps. Ozzie Nelson, as the handsome, windblown bonvivant, was excellent, especially in the passionate scenes at the “malt shop.” The monster, played by Arnold Stang, was credible in all except his musical numbers with King Kong and Rodan. I mean, really, three grown up monsters traipsing around like a bunch of simple fairies should be better left for a Walt Disney movie. Fi- nally, the victim, played by the city of Cleveland, was totally unbelievable. After all, who would ever believe a city with a name like Cleveland existed? Ridicu- lous! As an appetizer we found the Monster digesta- ble; as an entree—no thanks! WHO SAYS? The sun rose cold that early Saturday morning and all along the banks of Route 15 you could almost LCC ial Nethova ire —— BEAVER SHOOT! The buses rolled in early and the beaver shooters from the neighboring colleges as- sembled expectant, tense, awaiting the opening shot. Volume XLV Bernard F. Rodgers, Jr., ’69 Editor-in-Chief C.

They knew many beavers would be shot that day and they cduld hardly wait to inspect the pelts. EDITORIAL BOARD Keving bese helan (1 News Timothy M.

A common curly-furred beaver, only worth six points. And that was only the begin- ning. One by one the beavers went down and in the carnage one beaver reigned supreme, the rare blond beaver. The sun set cold that evening, the buses left, but fans of the beaver shoot would long re- member the day.

Twice a year, in the mornings, the garden variety Mount student will wake to find a literary article on the floor of his room. Once again the Serendipity has been published. Pub- lished by some not so garden variety students, they work a kind of Rum- plestiltskinish magic, they take the crude word and make it beautiful. Yes, they put together a potpourri of poems, reviews, articles about gladi- ators or something, polemics, short- stories, and art all designed for the intellectual Mount student. That’s probably why it’s so seldom read. 3
