...have joint appointments with the Graduate School of Design. Since students in the department tend to work very closely with one particular faculty member, if he or she is denied tenure and leaves it is particularly disruptive. "Freshman and sophomore year I studied intensely with one film teacher who then had to leave," says Abrams. "After that I completely changed my course of study to photography...
Tucherman, an eight-year veteran of the department, is leaving after this semester. "It's criminal that there's only one full-time teacher in every area," she says. "Students would get a broader outlook if they got two different points of view, especially in the studio arts...
...third mystery stars Sidney D. Kirkpatrick, 30, a documentary filmmaker and teacher of writing at California State University, Los Angeles. Vidor's family asked him to put the director's papers in order and write the official biography. Kirkpatrick found that Vidor had saved just about every scrap of paper he had accumulated in his long life--some 200 boxes of letters, manuscripts, Valentine cards, income tax returns--but almost nothing from 1967.

His romance with a teacher played by Lise Hilboldt, an actress whose plainness of manner amounts to a kind of self-cancellation, is dully conventional. And a subplot that involves them in an endlessly unfunny attempt to soothe the troubled spirit of Burgess's mad old mom is irrelevant and near to tasteless. She is played by Lillian Gish, and the movies' oldest pro clearly understands that she is trapped in Sweet...
