...incoming students will encounter a strange new concept on campus: fun. The fieldhouse has been refurbished. Student theater and music groups are flourishing. A winter carnival is now established as an annual event. Called Kuvia-sungnerk, an Eskimo word for happiness, the festival this year included a pajama brunch and a three-mile walk to a landmark spot along the Lake Michigan shore known as "the Point." Two weeks ago, the deans inaugurated a student-faculty contest day, featuring softball games at which President Gray threw out the first ball...
Barely 20, working as the understudy to Carol Haney in Pajama Game, she had her chance to live the theater's most enduring legend: Haney was injured, and MacLaine went out a chorus girl and came back a star. Producer Hal Walk's was in the audience the night MacLaine first stepped in and soon signed her to a multiyear movie contract.

The pocket-size review will feature four back-up dancers and an original score by Marvin Hamlisch (A Chorus Line, They're Playing Our Song). Says MacLaine: "I'll keep dancing and singing until my legs...
...merely Snider's sacrificial lovely. Snider does love her, but he also sees an exploitable innocence; she is a property that he can ride our of his world of cars and girls--into a world of faster cars and faster girls. Hugh Hefner (Played with den-mother benevolence by pajama-clad Cliff Robertson) is Snider's Buddha, and the Playboy Mansion his sensualist's nirvana. He impresses Dorothy with his tacky style; he gives her a real two-carat topaz; he escorts her to her senior prom in a ruffled sky-blue tuxedo. Eric Roberts is a brilliantly spoiled...
