"My plan is to be the bestDean that you've ever seen. Idon't know what that means,though," said Jean-Paul Revel,eyes sparkling. Revel, whowas appointed Dean on Sun­day, September 15, alreadyhas several changes on hisagenda.

"Usually [students] willcome talk to me because theyhave some problem," saidRevel, "and that's somethingI would like to try to change... I would like to also seepeople who don't havetroubles, who just come be­cause they want to come."

"I was born in France," heexplained, "and where I was,no student ever went to see theDean except if the Dean calledhim to his office and said,'Young man ... '."

The Dean is consideringholding a weekly open houseto make himself more acces­sible to students:

CalendarYes, there is still

yet a week left beforeclasses start. Thus, it isyour complete respon­sibility to attempt tomake the very most ofyour ever so precioussurviving vacation timebefore the whips andchains are again in use.Tech is hell, so make the best of this very wonderful of times. Getshit-faced, go screaming nude through the tunnels, or at least prac­tice the fine art of doing absolutely nothing. Best of all, you haveNO excuse for not at least looking onto this calendar with somesmall interest, as most likely you've got the funds and maybe still alittle spare time left to yourself (after all, your not stuck in the Techoffice until Sam finishing this paper. .. ). Not only that, this is kindaa culmulative Calendar for all those really cool summer things thatare still available for a couple of weeks. On this note, let me previewand review:Disneyland's Fantastic Main Street Light Parade

Yes, you've seen all the advertising that Disney has been put­ting into this final season of the Main Street Parade in order toaccrue large crowds in these the last summer days, but they dohave a heck of an attractant. My understanding is that this latwnight parade isn't leaving as much as being replaced (Disney Worldhas a shown that sounds suspiciously like the Electrical parade,with a '90's flare that we probably see appear at Disneyland withina couple of years), BUT all the same, this is one heck of a show witha very nice '60's flare that is as much an engrained part of theparade as "that music' you've likely heard. It's a show like no otherever will be, and a lot of fun, and a must to see if you haven't everbefore. Otherwise, I believe you can get discounts on these ticketsthrough the Y.Trainspotting

I saw quite a few movies this summer, but none was any­where as good as Trainspotting. Almost Clockwork Orangish in feel(do take note of the writing on the wall in the Volcano Club Rentonvisits), this movie was based on a book (which was even more rude,desperate, and blunt than the movie, if you can believe that) thatwas written in the same tough Scottish dialect the movie is spokenin, and was filmed for a slice of the amount American failures arefilmed on. The Scotts who made the film never thought the moviecould be comprehended, let alone appreciated, by an Americanaudience, although it had done smashingly in the UK. A few cutportions later (especially, to my understanding, from the ratherinteresting sex scene that garnishes the middle of the film), though,the film has made a cult arrival, only showing in a few dozen loca­tions in the Southland at its best. Although we must be careful towarn that this film is extremely base and blunt in its portrayal ofthe life of the junkie (which is why this film was ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~,also garnished with many disapproving reviews, -::which is not surprising from out puratanical back­ground), we really have to remember that real lifeis often no less base, in its reality. Trainspottinghits hard at all the senses, butalso delivers a look into a darker part of ourselves,a part we prefer to deny in ourselves and denouncein society. The score is also one of the few finestI've ever heard, mixing Techno (Underworld) withPop and Alternative at their best, and really workswell with the film's progress. Trainspotting will onlybe showing at the Lanmark Rialto in South Pas a
