Cartoons? Yes, cartoons! Move over, Matisse, as the Museum celebrates five decades of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies in its Warner Brothers Cartoons Golden Jubilee exhibition. For 17 weeks, the Museum's Departmenl of Film will be screening different programs of nothing but cartoons every weekend. And what cartoons! Walt Disney Studios may have dominated the animated film industry during the salad days of Holly- wood, but nobody produced a bolder, wackier, more street-wise or faster-paced product than the crew at Warner Brothers. Out of the ruckus were born such stars as Porky Fig, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, and of course that screwy wabbit, Bugs Bunny, and only now are the men behind the Warner Brothers cartoon unit being properly recog- nized lor their achievements. The consistent high-quality of the car- toons made at Warner Brothers is even more remarkable when you consider that over 900 of the cartoons were produced, starting way back in 1930. So as well as honoring the car- toons themselves, the Museum is also saluting the team of men who, by compiling such a successful track record over so many years, exhibited creativity above and beyond the call of duty, To this effect, the exhibition opened with special presentations in person by car- toon-directors Friz Freleng, Chuck Jones, and voice-expert Mel Blanc, and most of the screenings are theme programs designed to highlight the work of a certain individual. This week's program, for example, is Evolu- tion of a Style: Tex Avery.

Curran responded, "I saw him in the office quite a few times. Sure, I send a lot of memos, but I have spoken with him quite a bit. I don't like to bother a professor at home, especially a writer." Fischler said he resented Curran's con- stant hounding, especially concerning her crackdown on grade inflation and her nagging memos. "Teaching under Dr. Gordon was a joy. There was no Big Sister looking over your shoulder," said Fischler. Fischler was especially upset when he received.a stern letter from Curran after he missed a class and allowed his wife, also an established writer, to take over. Fischler said that he informed Curran in advance that he would be absent. "One, she wrote the letter as if the class were never held, and two, she ignored the fact that I already, told her I'd miss the class," said Fischler. Another memo informed Fischler that there was low enrollment for his Advanced -Reporting class this fall. "It was suggested that I get off my ass and start hustling students," said Fischler. "When I began teaching here, there was a grand total of four kids in my advanced class. In a sense, that's the way it should be.'' Curran claimed she merely told Fischler to drum up interest in the class, not to start "hustling" students. In addition, she indica- ted that his summer course was a result of her own sacrifice. "I was supposed to teach two courses, and I gave up one of them to hold on to him," Curran said. She also retorted that some aspects of his teaching indeed bothered her. "I found out that he was not keeping his students in class for the full time (three hours), and his grades seemed to be inflated.
