Don’t miss out on the
Party of Five action
By Angela Rush
staff writer
Have you ever just been flipping
through the channels on the televi
sion and stopped to check out a show
that caught your attention'.’ That’s
how I discovered Party of Five which
is on the air Wednesdays from
9:oopm- 10:()()pm on Fox.
The scoop on Party of Five is just
this: it features shows that reflect real
life situations that common everyday
people experience. It discusses issues
such as alcohol and drugs and so on.
The plot generally varies from week
to week, but there are always four dif
ferent stories occurring within any
episode. Each character has his or
her own message to get across dur
ing the course of the show.

Place your bets! A trip to Las Ve-
Igas is highly unlikely. A bookie is il
legal. Those of you who enjoy the
excitement of wagering on your fa
vorite team, or a big game, need look
no farther than the Internet. It's fast,
its easy, and it is still legal. The much
debated topic of Internet gambling has
been going on ever since the begin
ning of the World Wide Web. The
U.S. wants it banned, but right now
that looks impossible. As long as it is
still on the net it’s legal, and gambling

is one of the best and hottest sites on
the web. Not only is this an interest
ing site in itself, but it can lead you to
different casinos all over the world,
with its global gaming guide. To start
wagering you need to set up an ac
count with a certain casino. Youusu-

school that she applied to without
anyone’s knowledge. Julia and Grif

Julia wants to attend a college that she
was accepted to but does not know
how to maintain their relationship, so
Grif fin decides it would be best just
to separate for the time being. Bailey
ends up getting back together with
Sarah after his relationship with
Annie ends. Charlie, the oldest, is
struggling with his relationship with
Daphne, who recently became preg

with recreational gambling and fan

Not as dangerous as gambling, but
