I was a little nervous prior to seeing this movie, in fear that it, like The Blair Witch Project. would keep me up at night. However, it just made me think a whole lot. Stignoitei prompts the audience to ask themselves what is really true and also questions the beliefs we pres ently hold. It loeuses on a true topic, the gospel of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church's defense of calling this gospel a fake.

However, Stigmata is a worthwhile movie, leav ing its audience dumbfounded, ques tioning society and the world as we know it. cop •~ FEATURES L _b; ,r. l Ito ‘°*)si Get fast, From two STUDENT CLUB OF THE WEEK o tib,44Leit/ Painiball by Adam Costa stall writer Whether you know it or not, Be hrend had a painthall club last year. and would still, if the club president, who was the key organizer of most events, had not transferred to Uni versity Park, where he now heads its painthall club.

And I was right, 98 Degrees has to he the absolute worst concert I have ever been to. First of all, whose bright idea was it to have an outdoor concert in Erie? Jerry Uht Park is a nice place for a base ball game, but a horrible place for a concert. Erie has the worst luck with weather in the world. The promoters should have expected it to rain no mat ter what day they picked to have it. And of course, Erie came through. It rained all day long, alternating between a light drizzle and heavy downpours all throughout the show. Yet some idi ots were in line at 8:00 a.m. in shorts and tank tops. And because of the way they let people into line and into the gates, they still ended up with horrible seats.
