Fans of The Rocky Horror Picture Show get so enthused with the A wild time is planned when Th e show that they dressed up like the chara cters in the show for the Rocky Rocky Horror Picture Show comes to Horror look-alike contest that was held at the Graceland Cinema in Col­ OSUM on May 4 at 11:00 in the even­ umbus. ing in room 100 with the admission be­ ing $1.00 for OSUM students and their guest, and $2.00 for MTC students and their guest.

The movie will be run in room 100 as it is ru n at Graceland, with everyone th rowing rice, cards , an d do ing other things, gett ing crazy, and just genera lly having a great tim e.

The movie is a great time to relax and take out your frustrations on everything that ha s been going wrong. There is even a college professor in the movi e who will not flunk you if you yell a few choice words at him.

Coming to the Rocky Horror Pic­ ture Show in room 100 will probably be the onl y time that anyone will be able to throw rice and other things in room 100 without fear o f getti ng pu nished . Rocky C og May 4 to

08UM There are ma ny students who ha ve been wanting to see the movie for a long time bu t do not wan t to ta ke th e time and money to drive to Col umbus to see the Roc ky Horror Picture Show in Columbus. But , when you do come to see the show, you will find ou t if it is worth your time an d money to go to Colum­ bus . People fro m all over the United States have come to see th e Rocky Hor­ ro r Picture Show. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a big hit all over the co unt ry, and was very difficult to schedule. It is cost ing a gre at deal for the ro yalities to show th is mo vie and it is rare for a mov ie of thi s grandeur to be shown ou t of a theater. It is probably th e last time that an ything as wild as The Rocky Horror Picture Show will be shown at OSUM This is an example of what the aisles of the theater looks like after a and students should take advantage of typical showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Hopefully this is what thi s on e time offer as it will probably not be repeat ed . the aisles in room 100 will look like.
