This is only part of the schoolwork, but Dewitt does plan to take exactly one "study break" from all this academic pressure, and that's to watch the Adams House Raft Race on the Charles this Saturday. To set the mood for waterborne hijinks, Deliverance (Adams House, Friday only) seems perfect, but Dewitt may be too drained from review sections to enjoy the show...
...Amadeus (Harvard Square). Professor Thomas Hulce (perhaps you've heard of him--it seems he's quite a gifted actor, judging from his performance in Animal House) has an unusual attachment to this film, and has us all convinced that Salieri (F.

The Sure Thing (Sack Copley Place). In real colleges all across the country, real students are enjoying themselves with luscious blondes or fleeing to Southern California. One identifies with Henry V and Jimmy Stewart, but Dewitt is positively drawn to John Cusack as the woebegotten freshman in this charming slice of life instead of running down pedestrians or searching for his identity. Dewitt saw this movie and wanted to hitchhike...
