By PAT GRIMES
If you’re bored, really down-
and-out bored, by all means go
to the Campus Theater this week.
You’ll get a profound lesson in
real, total and complete BORE
DOM.
First prize goes to “Three in
the Cellar,” a wild, funny now-
generation picture it ain’t. But
for general excitement it offers
about 45 seconds of the naked,
top half of a supposedly ugly
chick. A Playboy bunny she’ll
never be.
The story line is thin and the
acting genuinely insults your in
telligence. The gags also are
overly obvious.
To begin, we have this easily
swayed collegian poet being re
jected by a computer and having
his home (a vacated building)
demolished, all on the same won
derful day.
In a beaten down state he joins
a “clean-cut” revolutionary group
intent on ruining the political
aspirations of the university’s
gung-ho president.
Several attempts of suicide by
our hero fail, so he formulates
a photographic plan whereby he
seduces, one by one, the daughter,
wife and mistress of the presi
dent, the human source of his
trouble. He succeeds or should I
say they succeed.
The daughter is convinced she’s
ugly, except on film; the wife is
an astrological nut with a capital
N; and the mistress is a racial
bigot. The poet is downright
mindless and the university presi
dent takes the cake for the most
ridiculous modern-day imitation
of a cowboy I’ve ever seen.
Anyway, to continue, the poet
falls for the daughter and fails
in his revenge attempt against
her father. It seems, upon ex
posure, the people sympathize
with the old man, thereby in
creasing his popularity poll.
Another suicide attempt fails,
which is a real shame, but at least
he tries.
So the grand finish offers poet,
daughter and ex-wife driving off
into the astrological sun.
The film runs about 86 minutes
and that is 83 minutes more than
it should.
Second place goes to “Three in
the Attic.” Although a definite
cut above the other, it, too,
dragged.
The premise again dealt with
revenge that ultimately backfires
in the end.
Paxton Quigley is a frat rat
known for his sexual mores be
ginning way back when.
He attempts to give the viewing
audience an illustrated study on
the female, but after his conquest
of the bookworm type, he gets
sidetracked, twice.
His lacrosse-oriented roommate
suggests he should re-establish
his record, since he had three
girls on the hook anyway. A
schedule is planned and we see
Quig in continuous action.
The truth finally comes out and
Quig is locked in an attic. The
three vengeful girls rotate every
hour until he is sexually ex-

The Director of the Texas De
partment of Public Safety called
Thursday for new laws that
would allow the use of oral con
fessions and changes in the pun
ishment of persons convicted of
drunk driving.
Col. Wilson E. Speir told the
13th Annual Judges and Com
missioners Conference here that
arrests by the DPS for driving
while intoxicated have more than
doubled in the past few years.
Modern equipment has made pos
sible more positive testing of per
sons suspected of being drunk;
and that recent state laws have
made apprenhension easier, he
said.
missioners that peace officers
should also be allowed to use
electronic surveillance in the ap
prehension of criminals. He
claimed this such use would help
break up car theft rings and other
forms of organized crime in the
state.
Habitual moving traffic viola
tors were also mentioned. The
head of the DPS said that at this
time if a person receives four
moving traffic convictions with
in a year, or seven within two
years, he must have a hearing
before a judge or justice of the
peace to determine his punish
ment.
Speir said the DPS should set
the punishment to achieve equal
ity over the state and let the
courts serve as the appeal routes
for the habitual violator
He also called for strengthen
ing of the “implied consent” law,
a “no knock” law that would allow
peace officers to enter a building
without warning upon authoriza
tion of a judge and more effective
regulation of pawn shops.
He added that under current
statutes, a person convicted of
first offense DWI is assessed a
one-year suspension of his drivers
license. Speir said often juries
are reluctant to prescribe this
penality because of its hardship
on families. Instead, he said, a
law is needed whereby a person
with a final conviction has no
and a mandatory suspension of
60 days.
“We believe that a 60-day sus
pension would be a positive de
terrent that would not work the
undue hardship that many of our
juries are unwilling to give on a
12-month suspension,” the direc
tor added.
Speir told the judges and com-
