The Student Who Registration ♦ » Rojeana Ayers waits to pick up a class card from Dr. Allen Anthony before moving on through registration. Loved Academic Award Winner Best Horror Classic Producer: Sul Ross State University Director: Sully Lobo Cast: The Sul Ross student body, faculty and adminis¬ tration 900 minutes 1980 Rated: PG In this darkly humorous, satirical film, a long-stand¬ ing wish of college administrators comes true. A timid, obscure, would-be Sul Ross student anxiously moves through the registration lines, realizing that as he passes by each checkpoint he is about to commit that last revolutionary act — falling in love with registration. Stanley Student stars as a freshman torn between up- perclass peer pressure and an uncanny love for registra¬ tion. Set in the Bryan Wiidenthal Memorial Library, amidst volumes of resource books and periodicals, Stanley finds himself stumbling through registration not once, but twenty-five times as he finds the final checkpoint will never let him out. The suspense builds as Stanley realizes the irony of the situation, but discov¬ ers too late that he cannot turn the tides of love for the process. “An awesome portrait of man and nature. The film restores one’s common sense and appreciation for the macabre. It takes your breath away and leaves you panting for more. ” — Nelson Sager, The Skyline “ ... devilishly conceived and executed. An accurate portrait of a student and his naivete. This one is infa- tuatingly weird.” — Ronda Badrot “If you watch this film, you’ll never want to go register for a college course again. It makes Psycho look like Mary Poppins. But don’t miss it, it’s truly a work of art.” — Lead Screen “Definitely a spoof on the anxieties students face when registering for college courses. This film is meant to make you laugh and cry at the same time, but not in the same place.” — The 1981 Brand

Entertainers Ham It Up “You gotta watch your step when you know the chips are down.” Such was the whimsical philosophy that characterized the concert per¬ formance of Patsy and Elmo, a hus¬ band and wife duo who combines a variety of musical styles with slap¬ stick humor. Sul Ross students were treated to back-to-back performances of Patsy and Elmo and coffee-house act Mike Williams. The entertainers were back by popular demand for their second performance of the year on the SRSC1 campus. Beginning with a casual, but ,fast pace, Patsy and Elmo had the audi¬ ence in mild hysteria for the even¬ ing’s duration. Likewise, Williams combined his mellow music with comic variety, thrilling music lovers in the Student Center. Both concerts, which were held two weeks apart of each other, were sponsored by the Program Council.
