...movies come in for another does of ridicule, but the show is by no means squeezed into the narrow scope of merely laughing at the great, defenseless, adolescent industry. There is a Ramone Ramon (pronounced Ramone Ramone, John C. Develin, '38), who is instrumental in a complete collegiate flop along the lines of the complete collegiate flops with which Hollywood periodically inflicts us.

There is no necessity, however, other than considerations of economy, for the compression of such significant subject matter into the scope of a single half-year. No course in the College could be more deserving of further attention, and few men would begrudge the extra hours spent in handling this as a full-year course. Numberless small but interesting facts could be added to the skeleton which is now presented. Some more fundamental sections...
