This is when Reach gets to have
some fun of his own, bouncing camer
amen down the moving sidewalks,
feeding matching Samsonite Silhouette
luggage to Ed McMahon, putting Dick
Clark in a garmet bag and strapping
him to the wing of a 747. This is what
this show needs. It's what TV needs. No
problem.
Solution 2: Falling in love is enter
taining, but only for the delightful cou
ple involved. I suggest "Love Camps."
For anyone who has ever fallen
"head over heels" in the middle of a
semester, you know it can be academic
suicide. You're up late cooing, billing
and saying things like, "No, I really love
that mole right where it is." Class is out
of the question because you have to
order roses, buy candles and brush your
teeth a lot.
If we had "Love Camps" you could be
shipped away to someplace in Ontario
where your fondling wouldn't interfere
with the enjoyment most people find in
misery, loneliness and self-mutilation.
At camp, you can fawn over one another
on park bench, bus terminal, classroom
and senate hearing room mock-ups
with life-like mannequins gathered
around to make you feel oh, so con
spicuous. WTien you return from the "Love
Camp" you can re-enter society, your
job, school, etc. at exactly the point you
left. No flunked classes, no irate
employers, no angry wives or fed-up
friends. No problem.
Solution 3: For obvious reasons I
didn't want to call this the final solu
tion, but it is, at least for now.
This is the solution to the Lied Cen
ter and Wick building problems at
UNL What you do is raze the entire
university campus every summer and
rebuild it entirely for the fall semester.
Aside from the obvious entertain
ment it gives a graduating class to
watch their favorite buildings reduced
to rubble, it also sends Lincoln into
economic seventh heaven. Imagine the
construction companies you could con
tract to rebuild this beast every summer.
The regents could sign contracts for all
kinds of unfeasible amounts of money.
You know how happy that makes them
and this allows architects to make mis
takes like the beautiful Wick build
ing's windows that face the ugly brick
wall of the Historical Society Museum.
When they foul up like that, you call
NBC's "Bloopers and Practical Jokes"
and then blow things up and start
again.
