Animal instincts prevail

Some of those who attend
college today were still
rolling in their cribs in 1962.
And while the members of
Faber College’s Delta House
were rolling that year, it was
largely on the ground, and
from the amusement of their
pranks.
ASG hosts

An old-fashioned Halloween
party and masquerade dance
will take place Saturday, in the

As a result, everything
from a slight smile, to a
steaming smirk could be
found on the faces of the
rest of Faber’s faculty and
students. Unfortunately,
Delta, at that time, were
only popular among them­
selves.
Currently, however, the
movie Animal House,
starring the loveable slob,
John Belushi, is gaining
widespread acceptance,
especially from today’s and
yester-year’s college studen­
ts.
Two definite ingredients
make the humor of Animal
House enjoyable to current
college students and former
college students. First, the
humor is
subtle enough,
at times, with off the collar
gags
and
effective
stereotyping, which the
older classes can relate to.
Secondly, the zany, two
fisted humor, that seems to
grab at your sides fits
suitable for the current influx
of college students.
There was rumor, from
the very beginning, that the
Delta fraternity was the wor­
st house on campus. Of
course it is a matter of per­
sonal opinion, but whoever
was spreading it, heard
right. Two apprehensive
freshmen visit the very
pristine,
and
over­
whelmingly cordial at­
mosphere of the Omega
house; jammed with honor
students, over-enthused
cheerleaders, and overall,
basic products of what
college was ‘really’ like in the
sixties. - The
freshmen,
though, get a taste of
something different y/hen
they step on the grounds of
the Delta House. The blare
of rock and roll, and a half
dressed maniquin which falls
from above, seems to be
Delta’s way of a greeting.
When they open the
door, their heads are nearly
pegged by a flying glass of
beer.
The freshmen later gain
their initiation, awaken by
the powdered spray of fire
extinquishers, and receive
their pledge names, Floun­
der and Pinto. The original
nick-names came from the
mouth of Delta’s grand guru
of mischief, Bluto, played by
Belushi.
Belushi expounds the
never-ending belief of Delta
House that seems to say
“have a good time, if your
grade point is over 1.0 you’ll
ruin everything.” Even while
Delta’s on probation, they
still retain their common
ritual of nightly beer parties
and by day, the tortured et­
ching away of Omega’s
already shattered nerves. *•
The members of Delta go
on as (un)usual, beering and
messing up the campus in
their own unique way, and
raising mania everywhere
else, including the accidental
death of Omega’s prize
stallion, found the next
morning in the Dean’s of­
fice. As soon as Delta is
made aware of their
inadequacies by the Dean,
they take serious action by
throwing a toga party. They
raid the supermarket for
required toga party eating
material, and later bring the
boiling point of their op­
position to its extreme.
Delta, of course is kicked
off campus, and their local
draft boards are informed of
their availability. The mem­

The Playgoers Theatre
Guild’s production of “Arms
and the Man,” put viewers
in a flurry of hysterics and
suspense.
The play, with its eight
member cast, opened Friday
night and will continue
Friday and Saturday nights
through Nov. 4.
“Arms and the Man” cen­
ters in Bulgaria during the
war between the Bulgarians
and the Serbs. A romantic
Bulgarian lady, Raina,
played by Diana Bauer, falls
in and out of love with two
soldiers. One is an egotistical
hero named Sergis who flirts
with the maid, and another
is her “Chocolate Cream
Soldier,” who is none other
than an enemy Serb.
The play was fast paced!
and suspenseful. However!
much room was left fori
comedy. Major Petkoffl
played by Rick Arnold!
spiced the production with!
his humor as did the
egotistical Sergis, played by]
James De Young.
The Playgoers Theatre!
Guild is housed at the!
College, however not mand
know about it which is too]
bad. Enjoyment and even a]
learning experience is what]
communicates the com!
pany.
