“Shoot Louder, I Don’t Under
stand,” now showing across the
street, is not a murder mystery,
as the title might imply.
That is, it is a murder mystery,
but there’s no mystery about it,
and as a matter of fact there’s no
murder, either.
So what is it? It’s an Italian
movie, that’s what; and it has
English subtitles. This is admit
tedly a drawback because so little
time is left to look at the movie
after reading the subtitles.
Several solutions have been
developed to this problem, and
they will be revealed later.
Marcello Mastroianni plays the
lead in the movie, as a nutty kind
of artist (a scrap metal sculptor)
who has difficulty separating his
dreams and fantasies from the
real world.
That real world includes Raquel
Welch, and you’d better believe

there’s nothing false about her
(at least as far as I could tell).
Nonetheless she begins turning
up in his dreams.
Marcello has an uncle who is
even further out than he is. The
old man hasn’t spoken to anyone
for over 50 years, and he com
municates with his nephew by
shooting off fireworks.
This is a convenient method of
communication, since the uncle
spends all his time making fire
works, and his main project is his
quest for the perfect skyrocket
—the “Green Rocket.”
In one of his dream sequences,
Marcello sees his neighbors try
ing to hide the evidence of a mur
der he thinks they committed.
So naturally when he wakes up
he turns them in to the police.
Eventually he finds out that he
was dreaming, but by then each
member of the family is con
vinced another member actually
committed the murder, and they
try to find out what evidence
Marcello has.
An unusual, but not surprising
climax is one of the wildest and
most colorful ever.
Earlier you were promised so
lutions to the problem of trying
to read the subtitles and watch
the movie at the same time.
One method would be to go to
a well-known language school,
and one is located in Houston,
which promises to teach you a
foreign language in six weeks.
This is impractical for most,
because the movie only runs for
four days in College Station, and
besides, commuting to Houston
may prove tiring.
The second method involves sit
ting through the movie twice, and
will require the use of a portable
tape recorder.
If you have a friend who can
speak Italian, get him to translate
literally as the dialogue is spok
en. Not quite as good, but still
satisfactory, is reading the Eng
lish subtitles. When the tape is
made, just sit back and syncro-
nize it with the second feature.
The last method, and the sim
plest is usually the best, requires
no mechanical equipment, no
friends, and in fact nothing.
You simply go to the first fea
ture, read all the subtitles with
only an occasional glance at the
picture (you’ll know instictively
when to glance), and then with
all the concentration out of the
way, just sit through the second
feature doing nothing but watch
ing.
And for some Aggies who have
trouble following spoken dia
logue, they needn’t try to read
the subtitles. The action and
photography is in itself worth the
price of admission.
The word “gauze” evolved from
Gaza, the great trade center in
Biblical Palestine and a city
famous for its light textiles.

Three freshmen engineering

They reviewed team projects

The videotape was shown dur

of KBTX-TV, Bryan.
“This tape will be used to orient
future Engineering Graphics 105
classes on what we expect to do
in our visiting engineers pro

The program brought profes

The telephone will always revolve around people. There is-
and always will be—a courteous, willing operator as close to you as your telephone dial.
She is ready to serve you in any situation or emergency where her personal help is
needed. The very fact that she is there every hour of the day and night is a comforting
thought in itself. The next time you routinely dial a number to talk to a friend or transact
business, we hope you'll remember that the telephone is still a very personal instru
ment. It wouldn’t work at all without our people, nor serve so well without our operators.
That is theway it will always be.
