Beagle reads excerpts from new book as part of the Visiting Writers Series By Shannon Goodpaster maintainer ' T ' V In 1978. Peter S. Beagle wrote the screenplay for the cartoon version of the Lord of the Rings. a cult classic among many film enthusi» asts. Even though it is said to be popular. Beagle said the film didn't resemble his original screenplay “I thought it was a par~ tial birth abortion." Beagle said. Beagle spoke to students and staff at William T. Young Library last night. His speech was one in the Visiting Writers Series sponsored by the English department. Beagle is best known for his 1968 book. The Last I'm? corn. which he also wrote the screen play for in 1982. In the original film. the voices of Mia Farrow. Alan Arkin. Jeff Bridges and Keenan Wynn were used for the characters. Beagle spoke of his past accornplisliments but he kept this discussion brief. Beagle was there to talk 1 .Awg, about his new book that has not yet been published. For All We Know. Beagle read froin chap» ters one and two of his new book. spurring laughter frorri the audience. “I thought the chapters were very funny." said Kelly Thompson. a mining engi- neering freshman. "It was very real to life." Beagle said that For All We Knotc is different from anything he has ever written before. In it he used a lot of dialogue. “lioing screenplays taught me a lot about diav logue." he said. John Hepnet‘. a senior English major. said he’s looking forward to Beagle's book.

Although many who at tended to hear Beagle speak were associated with the English department. others came because they had grown up with his books. Hayley Pierce. an agrr cultural communications in- nior. said that The Last I‘ni torn has been one of her fa vorite books since she was a child. Pierce came to meet Rea gle and to tell him how she loved his work. “I thought it was won derful.” Pierce said of his new book. “The dialogue rust pulled you into the story I hope that I can write like that one day."

Candidate may argue 56 election in court Still fighting: After meeting with dean of students about concerns, Hutchinson says he's not satisfied By Jalte McDonald STAFF WRITER As Student tiovernnient President Rachel Watts and Vice President Matt Rippetoe were sworn into their offices last night. dispute over the election that placed them in their positions was still being debated St} presidential candidate David Hutchinson met Thursday with Victor Hazard. the (lean of students. to voice his concern over the election and request an investigation into it. Hutchinson cited the 24 election claims against Watts and Rippetoe that were not heard by the 86 Supreme Court or the 86 Board of Claims as justification for meeting with the administra tion. Hutchinson said that Haz ard was not as helpful as he had hoped. "I‘m a little frustrated.“ he said. "It‘s a waste of time to go through the administra tion. (Hazard) said he doesn't know if I‘m sour grapes or if student government is com- pletely corrupt. I'm not sure if he‘s doing his job, but at least he‘s being cooperative." Hazard did not comment on Hutchinson's assertions. Hazard said he requested that Hutchinson submit a spe- cific list of SO violation claims to him to present to UK‘s legal office for a decision on a formal investigation. "We had a discussion about his concerns.” Hazard said. “SG has a process. He's going through that process. If he submits the list of claims. 1 will see if his allegations have merit in terms of the Code of Conduct. If he says it's a waste of time. it‘s his prerog- ative to pursue any channel he wants to take." That channel.
