THE BATTALION
Finding Forrester
Starring Sean Connery
and Rob Brown
Directed by Gus Van Sant
Jamal Wallace (Brown) is a 16-
year-old literary prodigy from the
Bronx who, on a dare, breaks into
the apartment of a mysterious old
recluse (Connery).
When Wallace is discovered by
the recluse, he runs out, leaving
his backpack behind with his per
sonal writings inside. When Wal
lace returns to retrieve them, he
discovers that each of his writings
has been critiqued, and that the
old recluse is actually William
Forrester, a 1953 Pulitzer Prize
winner at the age of 23. Forrester
agrees to be a writing mentor for
Wallace as long as Wallace keeps
the secret of his identity.
The basic plot of Finding For
rester is formulaic: A young genius
lacking direction meets a wise elder
jaded with life.
The youth is presented with a
way to improve his circumstances,
and the elder rediscovers life. As
their relationship deepens, the line
between student and master is

blurred, and each learns from the
other. Sound familiar? Refer to
1997’s Good Will Hunting. There
are also glimpses of Dead Poets
Society when the students defy
their staid English teacher by clap
ping for Wallace.
The story behind Finding For
rester is not a new one, but Con
nery’s and Brown's performances
are excellent, and the chemistry
between the two characters, with
Forrester’s gruff sarcasm and Wal
lace’s easygoing charm, addsne#
spice to an old recipe.

governor,” Ferrell said. “Now he’s invited us to Wash
ington, and it’s the chance of a lifetime. This will be the
biggest thing we do all year.”
After settling into their hotel rooms, the Aggie Band
and Ross Volunteers spent Thursday evening touring
some of the capital’s monuments.
“We are just so blessed to have the University pro
vide hotel rooms for us,” said Will Ferrell, command
ing officer of the Ross Voluriteers and a senior mathe
matics major.
Ferrell added that the University spent about $575 per
person to send the 140 Ross Volunteers to Washington,
for a total of about $81,000.
The Ross Volunteers will assist at the Black Tie &
Boots Ball today, one of the premier inaugural galas.
The Ross Volunteers have been invited to Washington
on only two other occasions: in 1981, at the invitation of
Vice President George Bush, and in 1989 when former
President Bush was sworn in.
Formed in 1887, the Ross Volunteers serve as the hon
or guard for the Texas governor.
“In 115 years, the company has only gone three times.
We are way beyond excited,” Ferrell said.
Following the inaugural festivities, the Aggie Band
and Ross Volunteers will have Sunday to tour Washing
ton and will return to College Station Monday.

Evidently, his heart has become
slightly less self-conscious.
The Bushes danced, briefly again,
at four of the 1999 gubernatorial in
augural balls. He also danced with the
wife of then Lt. Gov. Rick Perry, now
Texas’ governor, and took a turn with
each of his twin daughters. He joked
they might be the ones hurt the most
by his attempts on the dance floor.
i iHe’ 111 ikely take a whirl again at the
presidential inaugural balls this week.
“I expect that the president will
dance at his presidential inauguration
as much as he did at his gubernatori
al inauguration,” said Scott McClel
lan, Bush’s deputy press secretary.
3l , Previous presidential couples
have reveled in their moment in the
spotlight. Former President Reagan
and his wife, Nancy, kicked off nine
inaugural balls dancing to the “Ten
nessee Waltz.” They also danced
cheek-to-cheek.
President and Hillary Clinton
went from ball to ball, taking short
whirls at his second inauguration.
And at the Arkansas ball, with Sheryl
Crow singing, “All 1 Wanna Do,” he
also danced with daughter Chelsea.

Fish Camp counselors will also be looking for volunteers at the
Open House.
“We’ll have applications for Fish Camp counselors and crew members at
our table, and we'll also be there to answer any questions students may have,”
said Seth Sullivan, assistant director of Fish Camp and a senior industrial
distribution major.
