Anyone who has ever read an edition of National Lampoon, the nation's top-selling adult humor magazine, cannot help but think that National Lampoon's "Animal House" is one of the best.
The year is 1962, and the campus of Fisher College—a stereotypical northeastern U.S. college—was established. The lifestyle of the affluent Omega Theta Pi and the unkempt Delta Tau Chi fraternities.

The Delta fraternity, known as the "Animal House," is scorned as the worst Greek house on campus. From all applause it justly deserves that renunciation.
BUT THERE IS more to this fraternal group than the building they call home, as two green freshman Larry Kroger and his brother Kent Dorfman (Stephen Furst) discover.

Beluah), who is without a doubt the most bizarre member of the "Animal House."
Bellahui, charter member of the production company, wrote "Not Ready for Prime Time Players," is not only the star of the movie, but may well be the funniest user to hit the silver screen.
Described by the movie's director, John Landis, as "a cross between Harpo Marx and the Cookie Monster," Belushi shows a brilliant comedic talent and professionalism besides him to demonate the movie even when all his lines would fit on one notecard.
BUT THE MOVIE isn't a solo performance by any means.
Characters like make-up artist Otter, his adorked bootie the Delitas, Charlie Brown's quirky robot, the mechanical whiz, D-Day, round out the heart and soul behind the Delitas' madness.
"Animal House" is the third product by Landis, who also has directed "The Kenyan War."
In a year marked by audiences flocking to the theaters in record-setting numbers, "Animal House" has combined the winning formula of a light, simple, entertaining movie with the back-to-school excitement to create an R-rated good time.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. ((UPU))=The Wyandotte County election commission yesterday received petition bearsering more than 12,700 signatures to place a liquor-by-the-drink proposal on the November general election ballot.
The measure, passed into law this year by the legislature, would allow establishments that sell liquor to sell liquor-by-the-drink if county voters approve. At least 5 percent of the registered voters in a county—about 3,600 in Wyoming—must sign to place the issue on the ballot.
Wyandotte citizens submit liquor-by-drink petitions
THE LIQUOR-BY-CHOICE Task Force has spent $3,500 for printing, mailing, advertising and promotional meetings, said director Pete Smith.
in neighboring Johnson County, the president's Council of the Chambers of Commerce is expected to present petitions county election commissioner's office Friday.
Pettitions bearing enough valid signatures must be submitted to county election officials.

The decision marks the first anicus cariae or 'friend of the court' application in a case.
Clubs, tavern to file briefs in liquor case
TOPEKA (AP)—PI the Kansas Supreme Court agreed yesterday to permit two private clubs and a tavern, all from Wichita, to file documents as “friends of the court” in the legal challenge to the new liquor-in-restaurants law.
However, the court denied the organizations their request to make oral arguments when the matter is heard before the high court.
The law is under challenge by the attorney general's office, which is contending the serving of liquor in restaurants is a violation of the constitutional prohibition against the open saloon.
MAKING THE application were The Portobello Club and The Looking Glass, both private clubs, and Dr. Redbird's, a tavern serving 3.2 percent beer and food.
The application before the court stated the organizations had substantial interest in the outcome of the court's ruling on the new law.
The court's decision yesterday will permit the clubs to file briefs in the dispute, but will not allow them to make personal appearances before the high court when
justices hear arguments on the validity of the new law.
NO DATE has been set when oral arguments will be heard.
The serving of liquor with meals will be on a county option basis, with a vote in November required to authorize the serving of alcohol.
If upheld by the court, the new law will permit the serving of alcoholic beverages with meals in restaurants that receive at least a percent of gross revenues from food sales.
85 arrested in Nicaraguan unrest
Thousands flee as storm Debra hits Gulf Coast
Tropical storm Debra thrashed the Texas and Louisiana coasts with 59 mph winds, funnel clouds and thunderstorms last night, forcing thousands of persons to evacuate to higher ground and causing at least one death of an oil rig worker.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP)—Nicaragua's national guard announced yesterday it uncovered a conspiracy by elements of the army and civilians to overthrow President Anastasio Somoza and arrests have been made.
By the Associated Press
There were some minor reports of property damage caused by tornadoes, but no one was reported hurt as Debra reached land halfway between Beaumont, Texas, and Lake Charles, La., with winds just under hurricane strength.
A highly placed source in the national guard said earlier 12 officers, including two colonels, and 73 guardsmans were seized and incarcerated among the 7,500-man national guard.
Aranda Escobar said that four officers had been appointed to determine responsibility in the case and that military associates knew of the conspiracy for some time.
The arrests were the first serious rupture reported in the national guard, which has been the backbone of 38 years of rule by the Somoza family. It serves both as the army and the police force in this Central American country.
The national guard statement, signed by Col. Aquilines Aranda Escobar, gave no figure on the number of persons arrested or identification. It said a number of persons were arrested and "legitimately constituted government" were arrested and "there were no victims."
That apparently meant there had been no rebel attacks against loyal units or guards.
The source said the guard officers and men detained were furious that Somoza had capitulated to 25 left-wing guerrillas who had been killed and about 1,300 hostages last Tuesday.
Nicaraguans shuttered their shops-
Presidential press secretary Rafael Cano said that Somoza had asked the congress for legal permission to leave Nicaragua two or three days ago. He gave no reason.

Someone's political opponents called for the general strike on Thursday, seeking to restructure the government and the guerilla's siege. The Nicaraguan Federation of Chambers of Commerce voted to back the strike. They said they would about 40,000 businesses in the country.
Someone has said repeatedly he would not give office until his six-year term expires in 2018.
In another action in Nicaragua's rapidly deteriorating political situation, the lower-house Chamber of Deputies approved a bill authorizing the president to leave the country, a spokesman for Somoa's ruling Liberal National Party said.
The bill passed by the lower house permitting Somoza to leave the country must still be approved by the Senate, which was scheduled to meet today. It is customary in many Latin American nations for the chief executive to obtain permission to leave the country.
as the storm approached, gale winds lashed the coast from Galveston, eastward to Grand Isle. Lake Charles reported 4% winds in opening and winds up to 55 mph at its airport.
The National Weather Service said gales extended 150 miles east and southeast of the city.
Gale warnings remained in effect last night from Galveston, Texas, to Grand Isle, La., and a tornado watch was issued for southeast Texas.
About 5,000 residents along the Louisiana coast behead storm warnings earlier in the day and moved inland, but there were no evacuations reported in Texas. Debra, the fourth tropical storm of the season, was moving north-northeast at 12 mph.
Nearly 3 inches of rain fell on the Jeffrey Valley and the Arthur area of Texas, causing minor street flooding. The National Weather Service said there were 4 inches of rain was possible by dwaynehk.
Three evacuation centers were set up in Lake Charles to accommodate those who had been displaced in the Lake Charles area were also equipped to be full with those escaping the storm.
"It was a sort of last-minute decision," said Philip Troscarli, assistant director of Cameron Parish Civil Defense, which beaded the evacuation.
Hours before the storm landed, most of the residents of Cameron Parish, which was devastated 21 years ago by Hurricane Audruv, were evacuated.

There appears to be no little controversy regarding Capital Punishment. To any concerned about setting it according to the Bible, you should not consider the following. To all others it is suggested that you do not read the rest of this article, but skip it. It will show you how the Lord has written for us, Lord and His Anointed, their Bands and Cords, set to retrain evil and further this war will offer God and 'augment' mankind.
"And surely your blood of your lives I will require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of every man shall I require him."
DREDHETT MAN'S BLOOD. BY MAN SHALL HIS BLOOD BE SHED FOR IN THE IMAGE OF GOD MADE HE MAN·
"He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall surely put to death; in a man conceive, until it be manifest from his neighbor, that he may die." Exodus 21:12-14. Twenty-five verses previous to this passage is The Lord's Sixth Commandment "To swear not to the gods." Exodus 21:15.
"whose kille any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses. Moreover ye shall take no sationflature for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death, by the mouth of an accuser. AND THE BLOOD I DEFILETH THE LAND; AND THE LAND CANNOT BE CLEANSED OF THE BLOOD SHED THEREIN, BUT BY THE BLOOD OF HIM THAT SHEID T. NUMBER 35-30
The 26th chapter of Leviticus and the 28th of Deuteronomy
have just about the same messages of wonderful promises to obey the blessed, and indeed, terrible and horrible curses pronounced upon the disobedient. Familiarity with the Lord's Word, therefore, makes him more aware of your heart, or else probably cause you to "rage against the God of the Bible," as you have never yet done. Christ said to the disciples, "and when they put them to death the rebellious son, in both of these chapters there is the foretelling of crazen men and killing and eating their own infants because of terrible famine sent upon them." The word "famine" has a familiar with The Word of God know that these things were experienced by the Jews, as well as another almost unaspakeable judgement was the enemies "ripped up the earth and filled it with blood." The terror of The Lord, we persuade men." Would it not be wise to peruse ourselves and one another to "Fear The Lord keep his Commandments, which is the whole duty of man."
Thus saith the Lord. Because thou has left go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore.
I am not sure whether he said this or not.
It is not the Christians' business to debate The Laws of God Almighty, the King of Kings. The Lord of lords, to butchery and stealing, to heathen who do not believe in "The God of The Bible", also to pray for and strive to convert them: "to turn them from evil, and save them from the evil that they may receive forgiveness of sin, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in Christ"
