Next Wednesday, March 4, the
Academic committee will pass out
a questionnaire to the students.
This form was compiled by Leo
Juneau, a senior science major
from Groves, Texas, after consul-
tation with a number of the facul-
ty. Through this media the com-
mittee hopes to better the under-
standing of the student’s academ-
ic life.
The three page form will be
passed out about 1 pm and will
be picked up that evening around
10 pm.

Film Festival
Additional Flicks
Three bonus movies have been
added to the Hilltop Film festival.
According to Brother Ralph Ru-
der, CSC, director of the festival,
the three movies and their dates
are: A Place in the Sun, Saturday,
February 29; The Informer, Sat-
urday, March 7; and Mr. Hobbs
Takes a Vacation, Friday, March
13. All season ticket holders will
be admitted free; non-ticket hold-
ers will pay $0.50.
A Place in the Sun, starring
Elizabeth Taylor and Montgom-
ery Clift, is based on the novel
An American Tragedy by Theo-
dore Dreiser. It is the story of a
man who has to choose between
two loves, a rich girl and a poor
girl. The movie is a profound ex-
ploration of individual values un-
derlying success, of responsibili-
ties in human relationships, of
guilt and punishment.
Each film will be shown at 7:30
pm in the dining hall.
cil; he also was the official ob-
server for the Vatican at the
executive meetings of the World
Council of Churches.

After the 6:45 am Mass on Mon-
day, March 2, the exposition of
the Blessed Sacrament will begin
the Forty Hours devotions at St.
Edward’s university. Masses are
scheduled for 6:45 am and 4:30
pm on the 2nd and 3rd of March.
The Blessed Sacrament will be
exposed all during this interim.
On the 4th of March, the morning
Mass will again be at 6:45 am and
the devotions will close that aft-
ernoon after the 4:30 pm Mass
with a procession.
According to Father MacAllis-
ter, CSC, University chaplain, the
Forty Hours devotion is one of
the oldest Catholic devotions and
the richest for gaining indul-
gence. Explanations of and in-
structions for the gaining of dif-
ferent indulgences can be found
in the Religious bulletin.

In The Basement
Of The Ivory Tower
A good title for this article
would be “Madness in the Snow.”
Friday, February 21, saw the
heaviest snowfall in Austin in 15
years. The students themselves
were somewhat surprised to see
snow when the radio predicted a
light rain, but that is typical for
Austin radio stations.

By John King
The Victors is a story of a US
Army unit in the closing months
of WW II. Slopping through Italy,
France, and Germany, the 12
Americans meet a series of Eu-
ropean women warped by the
atrocities of the war, while news-
reels in America report the glori-
ous progress of the Allies in Eu-
rop.e.
The Victors is not, however, a
war movie; it is an anti-war
movie. It displays the various ani-
mals—jackals, sheep, and rats—
that war produces, using dramatic
irony heavily. In one incredibly
grotesque scene, the men are or-
dered to witness the Christmas
day execution of a boy for deser-
tion with Christmas carols for
background music. Only once does
it become sloppy and sentimental:
new recruit Peter Fonda finds a
puppy dog that he wants to keep
but the rest of the men will not
let him because it will starve
when they march.
The bad guys in The Victors
are not the Germans, but bigots,

The boys from the Eastern and
Northern part of the country just
went about their usual way of
life, snow or no snow. But the
Texans! They went completely
crazy. For some of them, this was
the first time in their life that
they could really participate.' I
have no idea when the first snow-
ball was launched or who did it,
but the ensuing volley was over-
whelming.
There were innumerable wars all
over the campus. Even the faculty
were not exempted; in fact, they
were the prime victims. Isn’t that
right, Father Welch? The Do-
minicans, for some untold reason,
were the prime targets. Their VW
was almost covered with the mad
students.
Then the students, having the
faculty completely out of the war,
started among themselves. The
Withering Heights plaza was the
battle ground. The freshmen
hordes and the sophomore armies
stood at a stand-off until the jun-
iors and some cowardly seniors
came to the aid of the gallant
sophomores. The tide changed,
the freshmen were routed, and
the Heights showed the wounds
of war. Windows were broken
and water from the melting snow-
balls flash-flooded through the
hallowed hall.
All in all, the day proved the
old adage: You are only as young
as you act and feel. And by the
looks of things and the talk of
the students, I am glad it doesn’t
snow often.
Now for the announcement that
all of you have been waiting for.
The winners of the SEU Beatle
contest! Here are the big four:
Bill “Bugs” Fuller, Jim “Surfer”
Climo, K r a n d a 11 “Hamster”
Kraus, and Brother Thomas “Tons
of Fun” Balthazor. Congratula-
tions, you bosom friends of all
barbers. Your free passes to A
Place in the Sun will be waiting
for you at the box office tomor-
row night.
pimps and politicians. All the ro-
mantic notions about glory and
excitement in combat are ignored
or destroyed. It ends with a sym-
bolic reference to the present
world situation; a young Ameri-
can (whose German girlfriend
claims that she was raped by Rus-
sians) and a drunk Soviet soldier
stab each other and die in the
mud of Berlin.
Although Vince Edwards and
George Hamilton act as if they
had bad headaches throughout
the movie, the rest of the cast is
excellent, and Eli Wallach, Jeanne
Moreau, and George Peppard are
exceptional. Tom Jones fans will
search in vain for Albert Finney;
evidently some parts of the show
were cut for the Paramount show-
ing, adding to the discontinuity
of an already choppy presena-
ttion.

Tom Jones
The film version of Fielding’s
comic-epic Tom Jones is at the
Texas Theatre, and probably will
be held over for a couple of weeks.
It’s one of the funniest movies
ever made, so see it when the
theatre is not crowded, so you can
hear the actors.
