It's the weekend of the Michigan game, and all thoughts are on football he-men who are the pride of the college. When mousy professor Tommy Turner announces to his class that he will read a letter by a famous anarchist, he finds himself in hot water with a school trustee
who has only two goals for the university, to build a winning team and to get rid of any teachers who are "reds." Can Professor Turner avoid losing his wife to an old football star and keep freedom of speech on campus? To do so, he'll have to find the"male animal" within him.

Tickets: $6.00 General Admission; $4.00 Senior Citizens, OSU-M/NCSC/MedCentral faculty, staff and accompanying family members, non-campus students; and free for OSU-M/NCSC/MedCentral students with I.D.
