The official attitude of Rice University toward minority students has come a long way since our founder William Marsh Rice created an all- white institution in his will. The establishment of a minority affairs office, a cause which has finally gained administrative support in recent weeks, will be another step toward affirming a solid place for minorities within a university (W culture that still is not enriched by diversity as much as it should be. One important function of the office will be to aid in recruiting minorities to Rice. Blacks and Hispanics each comprise only about five percent of this year's freshman class, while the faculty includes even ho smaller percentages of these groups. Competition for top minority students and professors is fierce among schools like Rice, and a minority office would be able to help the 7 university'scause by printing information for prospective students, and PlAYBe by providing special attention to them. Many other colleges and universities already have minority affairs offices. Furthermore, the office will help minorities at Rice by providing a better support system.

The Roberta Stokes Dance Company presents "Eccentricities THRESHER Fine Arts Friday, October?, 1987 11 Woods and Dennehy make Best Seller a hit film Best Seller Directed by John Flynn Best Seller could be described as a hybrid movie. It contains many of the same elements found in two films from earlier this year—Lethal Weapon and Black Widow. However, Best Seller is more of a product of selective breeding rather than simply another generic movie. It is easily better than these films, as well as being better than most of the other movies released this year. If the partnership between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon was good and the relation- ship between Debra Winger and Teressa Russell in Black Widow was intense, then the chemistry of James Woods and Brian Dennehy in Best Seller is nothing short of spectacu- lar. After leaving the theater, only the acting performances by Woods and Dennehy left any sort of lasting impression.

THRESHER Fine Arts Friday, October 9,1987 13 Wolf at the Door dramatizes Gauguin's struggles The Wolf at the Door Directed by Henning Carlsen A starving wolf was wandering about looking for food when he met a fat, well-fed dog. The wolf asked the dog why he was so healthy and had such a nice, shiny coat. The dog replied that he lived with the humans, and in return they fed him whenever he was hungry. The dog was sure that the humans had more than enough to feed the wolf as well if he wanted to come along. As the two trotted back to the dog's house, the wolf noticed the dog's collar. The dog did not seem to mind the collar; in fact, he seemed to think it a small price to pay for having plenty of food every day. The wolf starved. At Gauguin's first art exhibit after returning from Tahiti, Degas, one of the founders of the radical, but by then accepted, Impressionist school of painting, declared Gauguin to be 'a wolf.' Gauguin starved. He also raged.

The Wolf at the Door is the story of the year that Paul Gauguin spent in Paris between his two trips to Tahiti.
