He called this "typical of all students". This seems a strange thing to say. If perspective is gained in proportion to the amount of time spent here, which he seems to assume, then one might point out that there are many students who have been here longer than Dr. Hackerman. Perhaps we could look to them for leadership. Perspective can be gained from other methods as well. One method is to examine the writings and com- i mentary of students and faculty from previous years. With this in mind, it is interesting to look at The Rice UPSQME Thresher from February, 1962. A major problem at that time was the formation of a solid college system. In this case the right to set Open 'SHOW ME SOMETHING I'D WANT TO SPEND A DOLLAR ON!' House hours had been taken from the colleges due to "flagrant violations" by six students. The Dean of Students said he would not return this privilege until a there was a "new state of mind."

Marcel Marceau is delicious without ever becoming grotesque, while Ronald We work for Graham's screenplay is often Welcome to grotesque without being in the the future least bit delicious. Perhaps bizarre would be a better word, BASF Wyandotte with you in mind: though, for the audience never feels the occasional revulsion that the truly grotesque inspires, only a rather detached interest in the proceedings. Shanks is introduced as "A Grim Fairy Tale," and that it is. Featured in a dual role, Marceau is seen as a deaf-mute puppeteer and a mad scientist whose faint- ly macabre experiments become the puppeteer's delight. First they control their pickled frog with electrodes and wires to make it jump across the table, then they graduate to remote control and a rooster's corpse. The next logical step is a human corpse, and, with this unusual weapon, Marceau decides to strike back at the evil that he has XT seen around him. Which is where reality ends and the puppeteer's fantasies take over. Or perhaps the whole experimental design is in his imagination, or none of it. That is never explained. Although several of the ideas behind all this are intriguing, Graham's development of them is unsatisfactory.
