James D. Peden*
Assault and Flattery (A & F) is a student run, acted, and everything-
elsed variety extravaganza, produced each year in the spring semester at the
University of Texas in Austin. The show began forty years ago as an
excuse for student organizations to poke fun at the faculty, administration
etc. during the annual Law Week festivities; but, over time it became an
event and an organization all its own. A&F (like so many other things) was
banned for a few years during the late 1960's and early 70's. It was
resurrected during the late 1970's and has thrived ever since. In the past ten
years, the show has again skirted the edge of controversy; but, it still
remains a favorite of students, faculty, staff and friends.
Recent shows have included Heir (Hair), Grief [Is the Word] (Grease),
Legal Shop of Horrors (Little Shop of Horrors), The Blues Barristers (The
Blues Brothers), A Corpus Line (A Chorus Line) and Ten Legal Indians (Ten
Little Indians). A&F 1993 will produce The Wizard of Lawz (The Wizard
of Oz).
The following are excerpts from A&F productions:
I HOPE I GET IT
Sing to the tune of I Hope I Get It from A Chorus Line'
Again. Right, Left, Stop, Hand Shake, Smile.
Again. Right, Left, Stop, Hand Shake, Smile.
Again. Right, Left, Stop, Hand Shake, Smile.
Again. Right, Left, Stop, Hand Shake, Smile.
Right. That connects with Fix Suit, Dry Palms,
Check List, Spray Breath, Check Watch,
Knock Knock.
Got it? Going on and Right, Left, Stop, Sit
Big Smile, Say Hello, Talk, Talk, Talk.
Right. Let's do the whole combination,
facing away from your resume.
From the top. Five, six, seven, eight...
