Football Seating:
Same Old Story
A word to the wise for students who missed the seat
ing chart for the Texas Tech game on today’s front page:
pull out the crying towels now.
With the combination of another record fall enroll
ment and a compulsory student activity fee required for
the first time, the usual madhouse at home football games
looks like a fairly certain bet, at least for this season.
Roughly 12,000 seats have been allocated for student
use, and hopefully that will be enough.
An expanded senior section will be in effect, with
Corps and civilian seniors as well as graduate students
stretching from the 50-yard stripe to the back edge of the
end zone.
Juniors get 1,800 seats in the corner of the end zone,
sophomores will occupy four sections and freshmen are
centered behind the north goalpost in five sections.
Squawks should come from the juniors, who in years
past have generally fared better than end zone facilities.
The graduate students are the unhappiest, because they
are mixed with the seniors and don’t particularly care
to stand the entire game. An understandable gripe, really,
since many graduate students did not attend Texas A&M
and could care less about standing.
Most students are hopelessly stuck with poor seats
again this year, but the seating arrangement for Satur
day is the best available until the expansion of Kyle Field
is completed by next fall.
Until then, there’s nothing much to do but hang on
to your date and try to force a smile.
CADET SLOUCH
by Jim Earle
A few years ago William
Wyler, motion picture director,
took a Hollywood actor named
Charlton Heston and came out
with a movie called “Ben Hur.”
Big deal. If my memory serves
me right, it only won a few
thousand Academy Awards.
Then he directed the drama
“The Collector,” which also won
wide acclaim in Hollywood circles.
Big deal.
Well, now he’s trying his luck
with a comedy, and it’s another
Big Deal. A million dollar deal,
to be exact. His stars are Audrey
Hepburn and Peter O’Toole, and
the movie is “How To Steal A
Million.”
The story goes like thus:
Hugh Griffith, Audrey Hep
burn’s father, is a well-known art
collector. He also is a painter.
The only thing wrong is that he
signs his paintings with pseudo
nyms such as Van Gogh, Rem
brandt, etc. Unfortunate also is
the fact that his own works make
up the majority of his collection.
Audrey keeps trying to persuade
him to retire, repent or reform.
Peter O’Toole enters the scene
by lifting a painting from a wall.
The trouble with this is that the
wall is in Griffith’s house and it’s
in the middle of the night. Aud
rey catches him and thinks that
he is trying to lift the painting
from the house, thus marking
him as a burglar.
Meanwhile, a Paris museum
puts a statuette belonging to
Griffith on display in a famous
museum. It, like everything else,
is a fake. So Audrey conspires
to steal it so nobody will find
out about it. This is where the
fun begins. You have three
guesses on who she gets for the
heist. The job itself ranks high
with those pulled in “Topkapi”
and “Oceans Eleven.” Someone
in Hollywood is in the wrong
business.

Peter OToole distinguished
himself as a dramatic actor in
“Lawrence of Arabia,” “Becket”
and “Lord Jim.” He then showed
his versitility as a comedy actor
in “What’s New, Pussycat.” He
does the same here.
Audrey Hepburn is Audrey
Hepburn, whether she’s in
“Breakfast at Tiffany’s” or “Cha
rade.” Here she comes through
with the qualities she showed in
both.
The genius of Wyler can partly
be found in his casting. Every
body is perfect, from Audrey’s
cute little head to the toes of the
big-footed museum guard. Eli
Wallach is a rich American who
is interested in obtaining the
statuette either over or under the
counter. Charles Boyer makes
a cameo appearance as an art
dealer.
Another interesting facet is the
musical score. It follows the
characters in such a way as to
exaggerate their movements. The
results are both amusing and sus
penseful.
Miss Hepburn also has a rather
large wardrobe. Every time she
changes scenes, she changes
clothes. At one time she is run
ning around Paris in Wellington
boots and a nightgown. Very
nice, indeed.
O’Toole doesn’t get the fancy
clothes, but he’s got the brains,
and they don’t have to come in
attractive packages. He also has
burglary devices which outmatch
James Bond, and which also can
be bought at the five and dime
store.
It looks as though Wyler has
himself another box office suc
cess. It’s no Academy Award
winner, but it’s still good enter
tainment.
