CADET SLOUCH
by Jim Earle KULTURE
Whatever else you might say about Aggies, they can
take a joke.
And take ’em they do, on the average probably more
often, more bitingly and more unjustly than any other col
lege group in the world.
Yet, when you think seriously and conjure up a mental
image of Texas A&M, you see: spit ’n polish neatness on
campus, a fighting—if not winning—spirit on the gridiron,
and top engineers and soldiers among the alumni.
And, overall, you see a sense of humor that has you
laughing with, not at, the Aggies.
This, we suggest, is a pretty good approach for an
educational institution.
For contrast, look to the courts of New York and the
case of John Goldfarb. Lawyers today were preparing legal
appeals from an unanimous decision by five judges to throw
out a single judge’s opinion about the book and movie, “John
Goldfrab, Please Come Home.” The client: a midwestem
university which objects to having its name mentioned
except in flattering terms.
The five judges ruled together with a logic any Aggie
would recognize—that any rational reader or viewer would
recognize the story as a bald farce and would not conclude
that it really reflected the real university.
Yet, appeals are under way and the whole situation is
becoming more of a farce than the book or movie. To begin
with, there is no law to allow censorship before publication.
Beyond that, the legal actions very probably are making John
Goldfarb far better known than a multi-million dollar pub
licity campaign could . . . and also are stressing a missing
sense of humor.
Which reminds us . . . what is the latest Aggie joke?

“I guess I ought to be studyin’ for tomorrow’s quiz, but

The spring semester gets off to
a bang with the campus culture
scene featuring such diverse per

Two Alain Resnais movies are

Marienbad will be showing at

Saucy, Sexy Candy
A Study In Satire
By BOB ELMORE
Staff Writer
It’s a good bet that you won’t
find a copy of Candy by co-au
thors Terry Southern and Mason
Hoffenberg on your grandmoth
er’s coffee table — that is unless
the old lady’s fronting for a white
slave ring or an opium den.
Candy is something of a jaw
breaker, but it somehow doesn’t
belong with the sweetmeats.
Candy Christian herself is, on
the outside, a beautifully blond,
college sophomore. On the in
side, she is a girl obsessed with
the idea of “giving herself fully”
to any and all men who “really
need” her. This idea was rather
graphically instilled in her by her
Contemporary Ethics professor
one afternoon in his office. Be
ginning with that afternoon,
authors Southern and Hoffenberg
treat the reader to a tumble by
tumble account of a few months
in the life of this dear, sweet,
sacrificing girl.
sent to the hospital for his
trouble with a split skull. While
her father’s twin brother is visit
ing them at the hospital, she feels
his need and they decide to rem
edy the situation under her fa
ther’s bed.
What Candy is itself is a little
more difficult. There’s no ques
tion about it being satire. Read
ers will get a hint if they recog
nize Mr. Southern’s name from
the co-authorship of Dr. Strange-
love. The question is, are the
authors simply satirizing the lay-
a-page sex novel so common to
the American bookstand now, or
our attitudes toward sex or poss
ibly even ’Ol Sex Itself. We get
another hint from a quote from
Voltaire’s Candide that appears
at the beginning of chapter one.
Loosely translated it says, “She
didn’t know how virtuous she
was in the crime for which she
was reproached.”
To get things off on the right
foot, she entices the gardner
to her room one night, but they
are surprised by her father who
makes a terrible noise and is
I’ll leave the final answer to
you. Take a bite . . . that is,
have a piece . . . well, just sample
Candy for yourself. How much
you can take will depend on your
taste, but the worst you can get
is an upset stomach.
Hiroshima Mon Amour, screen
play by Marguerite Duras, star
ring Emmanuelle Riva and Eiji
Okada, is a relatively involved!
and carefully structured movie
in the avant-gard vogue, but when
compared with the other Resnais
film, becomes crystal clear in its
purpose. This is all to say,
Last Year at Marienbad is a very
complex and puzzling work of art.
The movie concerns three peo
ple, whose names are not given
and are referred to only as A,
the woman; M, the man who
watches over her and who may be
her husband; and X, the other
man who may or may not win
A in the end. Throughout the
action, X attempts to convince A
that they had met at Marienbad
the year before, made love and
had parted for a year, after which
time she would go away with him.
X spends most of the time
recalling the times they were to
gether, and the story seems to
be narrated from his viewpoint.
However, A continues to insist
that they have never met before
and he is mistaken. M continues
to hover over A like death and
this leads to the possible inter
pretation that X wishes to save A
from the living death represented
by the society of M and the other
guests in the hotel.
The film never affirms that
anything actually happened at
Marienbad the year before and
in this light demands more from
the viewer than most movies.
Marienbad must be experienced
John Lauritzen wanted further knowledge
He’s finding it at Western Electric
When the University of Nevada awarded John
Lauritzen his B.S.E.E. in 1951, it was only the first
big step in the learning program he envisions for
himself. This led him to Western Electric. For WE
agrees that ever-increasing knowledge is essential
to the development of its engineers—and is help
ing John in furthering his education.
John attended one of Western Electric’s three
Graduate Engineering Training Centers and gradu
ated with honors. Now, through the Company-paid
Tuition Refund Plan, John is working toward his
Master’s in Industrial Management at Brooklyn
Polytechnic Institute. He is currently a planning
engineer developing test equipment for the Bell
System’s revolutionary electronic telephone switch
ing system.
If you set the highest standards for yourself, both
educationally and professionally, we should talk.
Western Electric’s vast communications job as
manufacturing unit of the Bell System provides
many opportunities for fast-moving careers for
electrical, mechanical and industrial engineers,
as well as for physical science, liberal arts and
business majors. Get your copy of the Western
Electric Career Opportunities booklet from your
Placement Officer. And be sure to arrange for an
interview when the Bell System recruiting team
