Yup. That should do it, except they will have to retain a few students because they need to keep the sports teams. I first thought they might need a few musicians, but upon reflection I realized there’s no reason why they can’t substitute recorded music for the band. They will need one student techie to operate the controls for the sound board.

The author is, of course, making an ironic suggestion in the model of Jonathan Swift’s famous essay, “A Modest Proposal.” (Swift suggested that poverty could be eliminated by eating the children of poor people.) Like Swift, the author has a serious point to make: colleges actually have too many administrators (the ones he really wants to get rid of). In the college where he teaches, there were ten professors for every three administrators in 1990. Today there are two professors for every three administrators, meaning that relative to the professor base, there are now five times as many administrators.

Tina Louise in Hell Riders (1984). Adan West is behind her. This was about 15-20 years after their peak fame. Ginger was 50. The Bat was 56.

Ginger is still alive, aged 90. I think she is the last survivor among the castaways.

Batman left us about a decade ago, but Robin (Burt Ward) is still hanging tough, a mere stripling at 78. (He was only 20 when the first Batman episodes were taped, while West was pushing 40.)

If you love really slim women, Selma is your poster girl. I think this was her final nude scene in a nudography that stretched over some 15 years, as seen below. She does still work occasionally, but is tormented by constant pain from MS.


1997 – Strong Island Boys

This must have been her nude debut. I don’t remember this film at all, and it has only 77 votes on IMDb despite having been in release for nearly thirty years, at least theoretically. I did a quick look around the net to see whether I could buy or stream it, but I had no luck in that search, nor could I find a torrent. All we have for now are the VHS images above. The film has been archived in the media library of the University of Georgia, so you can watch it if you’re curious, and you can even download it for free, but it is heavily watermarked. Selma’s topless scene is at about 55:30. This is what you will see:

Even with the annoying watermark, it’s still a slight upgrade from what we had before.

It takes place during the Italian unification wars in the mid-19th century. An aristocratic woman, fleeing from her husband and in search of a legendary gold stash, joins of group of brigands in the south.

It echoes the look and style of the classic Spaghetti Westerns. As you can see below, the lead actor does his best impersonation of Clint Eastwood as an Italian.

Laure has done some of the most impressive nudity of the past decade. Her output in quality and quality is so impressive that her achievement approaches even the level of the redoubtable Virginie Efira.

Here is her previous nudography. Her most explicit nudity was in AVA, but my favorite scene is the one from the season four premiere of Dix Pour Cent:
