Kulakowski said he is trying to get in touch with members of the Committee on Undergraduate Education (CUE) who might present the petition at the Faculty meeting Tuesday, although he added that "given their position, it's unlikely they will...
Before plunging into American assembly, VW did a great deal of thumbsucking. Its decision turned into a two-year touch-and-go process that had promoters for New Stanton and its chief rival for the plant, Brook Park, Ohio, hanging breathlessly by their seat belts.

There is one infectious sequence in a sound studio where a record producer (played by real-life Record Producer Richard Perry) flamboyantly reshapes a lame rock song into a hit; there's also a surprisingly touch ing scene in which the president of the Buddy Holly Fan Club (well acted by Moosie Drier, 13) tells Freed of his sorrow over Holly's death. Such isolated moments do not bring American Hot Wax to a crescendo, but no one can accuse Mutrux of ever losing the film...
