Monty Python
English humor
By CAROL SHAKESHAFT
For those movie goers not
familiar with Monty Python, be
prepared to laugh, and laugh, and
laugh.
Monty Python & The Holy
Grail, at the Cinema I, is comedy
that is most ridiculous and hilari
ous. The jokes come fast and furi
ous, sandwiched between
slapstick, social commentary, and
delightful animation.
The humor is English and
though there are several stictly
English in-jokes that leave
Americans bewildered, they
shouldn’t deter anyone from se
eing the film. There is so much to
take in, it’s not possible to catch it
all anyway.
The film is a spoof, and perhaps
a comment, on the sacred legend
of King Arthur. King Arthur and
his brave knights of the Round
Table are seen as bloodthirsty,
though good-natured, cowards
who yell, “Run away, run away’
whenever the odds are against
them.
King Arthur gathers his knights
and at God’s request (finally we
see what God looks like), goes in
search of the Holy Grail.
The quest takes Arthur to the
land of the Knights of Neee, who
say, (what else?) NEEEE,
NEEEE and demand from him a
shrubbery. A shrubbery? Arthur
meets the Black Knight and the
French who hurl at him such in
sults as, “You cowardly licker of
other people’s bottoms!’’
There is a good deal of grotes
que violence in the film, perhaps
to make the point that King Ar
thur and the boys were all they’ve
been cracked up to be. The cos
tumes, special effects, and
make-up are so disturbingly
realistic that they are sometimes
frightening.
Toby Rives helps
students through
personal contact
By CAROL SHAKESHAFT
Battalion Staff Writer
A&M’s Assistant Director of Stu
dent Affairs, Toby Rives, says her
primary function is to “deal with
students who have concerns about
anything: academic, career,
roommates.
“If a student doesn’t know where
to go, this is a good place to start.”
Rives considers her most important
function at A&M to be her personal
contact with students and the coun
seling and advice she gives them.
While her formal administrator’s
office in the YMCA Building woidd
seem to discourage the personal
touch, Rives claims that students do
drop by with their problems. “I’m
people oriented. When I find some
one with a problem, I want to help
them come to some resolution.”
One group of students who have
come under the protective wing of
Rives are those older than average.
Rives, who returned to school late
in her career, is particularly in
terested in encouraging students
who have decided to come back for
more education.
She has organized S. O. T. A.
(Students Older Than Average)
which provides an identity group for
its members who “are out of the
mainstream of Joe College-Coed
type activities.”
When asked if she had any opin
ions on a daycare center for children
of students, a service which would
make it easier for women to return
to school. Rives said that there is no
need for the university to provide

child care pointing out that it was
offered once but was not subscribed
to.
Being a woman in the man’s
world of higher educational ad
ministration presents some prob
lems, says Rives, but she considers
herself “one of the fortunate women
of the world. ”
She feels that one problem career
women have is that they often feel a
special pressure not to fail, to prove
themselves better than the men
they work with. She thinks it is time
to make it clear to men that women,
like men, can make mistakes and
still be competent.
Women aren’t the only ones who
have career problems, “men have
pressure too,” said Rives. She sees
the feminist movement as beneficial
to both men and women and feels
that it will provide more socially ac
ceptable roles for both sexes.
While it is true that women are
discriminated against, Rives says
that there is no area on the A&M
campus which discriminates against
women and feels that there isn’t any
place in the university community
where women aren’t accepted.
She feels that only strong women
students come to A&M, and there
fore can cope. She adds that there is
a need for strong positive role mod
els for women students and a forum
where they can meet and talk would
be helpful. She is not sure a Wo
men’s Studies room in the MSC
would be appropriate.
Rives has a small library of mate
rial specifically for women in her
office and has made it available for
anyone interested. She also is pres
ident of Phi Delta Gamma, a
graduate, invitation only, society for
women in all fields.
Rives is attempting to carve her
niche at A&M and to provide ser
vices and programs that are of value
to students. She asks input from
those she serves, the students.
Without student contact and ad
vice, she will have to rely upon her
perceptions of what students want,
which might not always correspond
with what students feel they need,
said Rives.
War Games
played by
Grommets
By MARK KING
Battalion Staff Writer
Grommets at A&M are a group of
Aggies that get together one day a
week and play “Army.
Actually the club calls it War
Games and the activity is a far cry
from the “Army children play.
The Grommets meet each Sun
day at noon and all afternoon they
play the Generals, the Lieutenants,
and, the strategists, for each of their
table War Games. Club member
Tim Harrelson, said the games
mainly entail setting the strategy for
different battles and wars in various
conflicts of the earth’s eras.
As a Grommet, people become
Wellington, charging Napoleon at
Waterloo; John Paul Jones, not giv
ing up the ship; American armed
forces, storming the beaches of
Normandy on D-Day; and even
Marines, holding down Hamburger
Hill, at Khe Sahn, South Vietnam.
The Grommets are planning a
War-Con Tournament with other
Texas colleges in the area later in
the year. The tournament will be a
weekend affair, with A&M as the
host club.
