Many students enjoy spend
ing their free time playing
video games. Some popular
game consoles include
Nintendo 64, Playstation 2,
and Sega Dreamcast.
But as one might expect,
these systems and their games
don't come at cheap prices, so
what is a cash-strapped stu
dent to do?
Endless Entertainment, a
An feerie Legend
Did you know that General "Mad Anthony" Wayne's
ghost has been said to be seen every New Year's morning,
roaming the lower area of downtown Erie?
In July of 1779, during the Revolution, Wayne led Ameri
can troops in a surprise night attack, capturing the strongest
British post on the Hudson River. To ensure surprise on the
British, Wayne forbade his men from loading their weapons
and instead, took the risk of leading his men in a silent
charge of bayonets only. Due to his unruly risk-taking, he
gained the nickname "Mad Anthony."
On his way home from battle in Michigan in 1796, Gen
eral Wayne grew ill and died in Erie. His body was buried be
neath the blockhouse on Presque Isle State Park. However, in
1809, with complete disregard to the local residents' desire to
keep his remains here, "Mad Anthony's" son, Isaac, dug up his
father's remains in order to respectfully bury him in the
Wayne's family plot at St. David's Cemetery in Chester County.
In order to keep things civilized, Dr. James Wallace, un
known to Isaac, boiled "Mad Anthony's" remains in a huge pot
(on display at the Watson-Curtze Mansion Museum; sixth
Street), separating the flesh and clothing from the bones. The
flesh and clothing were reburied beneath the blockhouse on
Presque Isle a the bones were give to Isaac to rebury at the
Wayne's family plot at St. Davidt Cemetery in Chester County.
Legend has it that while the wagon carrying "Mad
Anthony's" bones traveled east, some of his bones fell out
onto the road. Also, according to legend, local residents have
claimed, to this very day, that every New Years' morning, Gen
eral Wayne's ghost rises from his grave at St. David's and can
be seen riding along downtown French Street in search for his
missing bones.
Hot Spots in Erie
new business in Erie, is a video
game store that was opened by a
former Funco Land manager, and

They pride the store as being
a local business instead of a cor
poration. The business, accord

Behrend student), is run by garners
who know how to treat the cus-

Recipes for You!
Greatest Fudge
Mix the cocoa and sugar together well until they
are of a single consistency. In a double boiler,
melt the butter and peanut butter together. Pour
the melted mix into the howl with the sugar/
cocoa mix in it. Mix well (hut not with a mixer,
but rather with your hands or a wooden spoon).
Grease a 9 x 9 pan (or one of similar size). Place
the fudge mixture into the pan and pat down
until evenly distributed. Cut the fudge as desired
(this is important to do before you go to the next
step because it is not easy to cut after this
point...) Place the fudge into the fridge until it is
firm. When you are going to eat the fudge, take
it out of the fridge and let it warm up to room
temperature (much better than when it is hard
