It has beep used as a location for filming scenes from the new movie Tuesday Night Keggar. Tuesday Night Keggar in volves a grinning ana rather self-confident German Sheph ard (Ralph Rover) for whom the Tuesday night keggar at a local disco) filmed on location at the Student Center) becomes a mecca. Here every female dog dreams of dancing with this far-famed dancer.* Recur rently, Rover enhances the film with the well-delivered line “I work on my fur all day and they muss it up.” Buttressing this classic line is Rover’s inept acting ability, especially in a scene where he leaves his bowl at the dinner table and storms out the door for the local bar. Developing the drama, a French Poodle (Shirley Po-Po) catches Rover’s eye. Rover shows off as he runs round and round in a circle on the dance floor chasing his tail. In the ensuing scene, Po-Po plays the reticent poodle very well. Very much a lady, she shuns Rover’s verbal advances. But love doesn’t die that easy, when you’re a superstar like Rover. After one exchange of sniffing paws they fall in love. But from the very start the young lover’s affair seemed doomed to fail. Po-Po invites Rover to a pedigree dog show where he gets physically thrown out by a police dog. Anyone interested in Card io-Pulmonary Resusitation cla sses should contact the nurse’s office. SEARCHING Aways smiling, Never laughing She goes about her day Always speaking, Never talking There’s nothing left to say Never looking, Always seeing I know that’s just her way Never finding, Always searching I hope in time she may Find me But this doesn't stop them. Rover takes Po-Po back to the local disco where he teaches her to dance. Rover goes into his tail chase and Po-Po reciproc ates the action, spinning in the opposite direction. They bec ome the center of attention. Tuesday Night Keggar is highlighted by many smash hit songs. Po-Po gives a howling performance in the theme song ‘l’m in Heat Baby and I Got You.” Rover wolfs out his latest hit “I’m Your Daddy Dog.” Critics expect the new film to have a great effect on view ers, especially college students. Already, at some discos stud ents are getting down on their hands and knees chasing their feet. The cultural committee at Capitol Campus agreed that this will probably be the case at Capitol. Capitol’s cultural committee has been concerned that stud ents may be getting bored with the same thing every week. “We considered turning the Student Center into a mona stary, but we weren’t quite sure if we correctly divined the student’s interests," a commit tee representative said. “We could always put a Gregorian Chant to disco. A band such.as Monastic Life (a group of monks from the local insane asylum) could play this* sort of thmg at keggars. c.c. reader
