Re: RAIN 08/31: Lost and Found



I know you're all at SAA, which I missed to go down the Grand
Canyon, ah well!, but the following RAIN caught my eye:

> The Daily Universe 8/29/00
> BYU archives houses extensive Cecil B. DeMille memorabilia
> http://news.excite.com/news/uw/000830/entertainment-film-67
>

Has anyone else read the article cited here?  I guffawed at the
follwing quote, from James D'Arc, legendary curator of the film
collections down ta' th' BYU:

  BYU archives houses extensive Cecil B. DeMille
  memorobilia

  By Lincoln Hubbard
  The Daily Universe
  Brigham Young U

"I really wish more students and faculty would expose themselves. "

End quote.  Well!  I knew they were a little straight-laced down
there but really!  Actually he was talking about the Cecil B.
DeMille archives, and saying more people should "expose
themselves" to original archival research.  But it sure gave me a
laugh.

Looking for cheap thrills and it's not even Friday,
