Nobody wants a drop in enrollment. AN decrease in the number of students that attend this University causes a drop in the number of dollars, which in turn causes programs to be cut and faculty to be laid*,off. But an enrollment decrease is a fact of life, a fact that we must learn to live with. In an effort to put off the inevitable, the University could choose to drop its admission requirements, perhaps under the guise of Basic Studies, the University has already done this. Dean of Admissions Frank Dana, in a recent interview, said he doesn’t feel that there is any future far a university that has dropped its standards. Wdl Frank, you get an As Ajmiversity that drops its standards is doing itself more harm than good.

Craig Rogers, and John McCally’s “Experim ent Tuo”) and two live-action films The bigger we get, the brighter we diine; (Burton Lee Harry’s "Button, Button” and "Allan” by Thomas Vanghele and Tullio Ossa). Since I formally reviewed these last year, en capsulations will suffice: “Pulse” and “Experimentu Tuo” are excellent, hallucinogenic films, “Button" is a sublime little chiller that certainly deserved the student Academy Award it copped, and “Allan” is technically well made and philosophically distasteful. William Eager threatened to become the new Roland Brooks with three decidedly minor pieces using single-frame animation; “If A Duck Could Shoot Back,’’ in particular, owed an enormous debt to Monty Python’s Terry Gilliam. At least it drew some laughs, as did “ No Answer” by Jay Keuper and Dennis Peters, although the latter film’s depiction of the construction and im plementation of a home suicide machine produced giggles mixed with shudders.
