...photo from this era shows Buñuel in full nun-drag - making it no surprise that early on in "Chien andalou" (after the infamous eyeball- slitting scene, featuring Buñuel himself) our hero is seen bicycling through the streets wearing nun-like apparel. Later on, as the hero attempts to sexually attack the heroine, he is required to pull ropes connected to a variety of weighty impediments - including two reclining Marist brothers (one of whom is purportedly Dali).

...University's best interest will always be in the University. It would be antithetical for the Ad Board to function otherwise. But there is one sacrifice that Harvard can--and should--make to its reputation that would work to the benefit of its community: Acknowledge that rape happens at Harvard and release information disclosing the crime and punishment, but not the names of those involved. That way, the Ad Board can sustain its badge of anonymity while still addressing and finally confronting an epidemic that preys upon the Harvard campus...
