eatures Sweet Dreams by Patty Landry Contributing Writer Have you ever dreamt about so meone coming to your room at night to read you a bedtime story and feed you brownies and milk? Have, you ever felt so tired from studying that you just need so meone to tuck you in your bed? My two roomates, much to their dismay, had this luxury last Tues day night. Two males from second floor Niagara came up to our apartment and introduced themselves as their "tuck-ins" for that night. Because they were sur prised and embarrassed, they both had a difficult time admitting that they had a good time. My other roomate and I, who set up the love ly gesture, easily admit that it was quite enjoyable. The second floor Niagara men set up tuck-ins September 29th un til the 31st mainly through the hours of eleven until two in the morning. It was set up as a fun draiser for the floor. It is a dif ferent way to raise money; much better than the incoming freshman, but the other colleges, such as Maryland University, have been doing tuck-ins for years. Other than the purpose of raising money, it also serves to get to know other students and make someone's night_ Setting up a tuck-in is an easy task. A few second floor Niagara representatives set up a table in the Reed for a few days for people to sign up. One can sign up for a tuck in for himself or another person. They had pictures of perspective i .:. , ir,.' , .:: : :_...'.,•:p004.'i...,•. : ::•c0:: .. 4. 1 ' . .. , ..H'.. - ....:._ Ode to a Friend by Robert Eggleston Collegian Staff Writer When life seems too much for you to bear you just give me a call and I'll be there. --For a friendship likes ours - . is a true one indeed.- I will always bandage your cuts whenever you bleed.

Mead "tuck-ins" so one could choose a person on the floor more efficiently through pictoral aids. Cost for a "tuck-in" was one or two dollars. For one dollar "the victim" would get tucked into their bed and a bed time story. For two dollars "the victim" would get tucked in, a bed time story, and a brownie. There were also a few off-campus trips that ranged in price. Most of the guys enjoyed themselves; but some had a few complaints. Problems arose with a few girlfriends, exams and sleep. Steve commented, "off campus at two in the morning was too much of a pain." When asked if he en joyed himself he replied, "It really depends on the person. If you knew. them it was much easier than if you, didn't." Tony agreed that some of his floor members were embarrass ed and experienced conflicts. He concluded by saying that walking into a room with more than fifteen girls added to their uncomfortableness. Second floor Niagara guys raised $150.00 through their tuck-in ef forts. There has been speculation that the girls in Niagara may perhaps try this fundraiser later in the semester. It may give a dif ferent view to the guys on the se cond floor. Even though tuck-ins may be embarrassing, conflicting and very tiring. It can also prove to be extremely entertaining. Just ask my roomates. I. Ballet; small shot 2. Iroquois tribe 3.

At Bobcat on the loose Best known as a demented, decible-breaking biker in Police Academy II and 111, comedian Bob "Bobcat" Goldthwait has been branded one of the most popular of today's "psycho comics." Psycho comedy, as it's called, is comedy in its most basic and bizarre form. It's the Pee Wee- Kinison-Mandel style of humor. Psycho comics scream and we laugh. They cry, we laugh. They twitch, we laugh. They wear funny suits, put rubber gloves on their heads, and drink Tab by the six packs. We laugh: If you haven't indulged in the paranormal, psycho-comic ex perience, you'll have your chance when Goldthwait brings his on stage show to Penn St.ate-Behrend October 24th. The fun starts at 9 p.m. in the college's Erie Hall.

Although the Police Academylms launched his success, Goldthwait calls the duo "Police Lobotomies." But the "Bobcat" is as frank about the motivation which led him to accept the Zed role. "If someone drives up to your house in a truck filled with money, what are you gonna say 'No, I can't take that money, I'm an ar tist?' Give me a break." But even those critics who preferred to send the Academy rookies back to school offered only the highest praise for Goldthwait's perfectly primal performances. In addition to Police Academy Goldthwait has reaped fame for his role in One Crazy Summer, a Warner Brothers film starring Demi Moore and John Cusack, and as Whoopi Goldberg's co-star in Burglar: He has also hosted his own HBO special ("Share the Warmth"), has appeared on "Late Night with David Letterman" and "The Tonight Show," and was praised by Joan Rivers in a People magazine article. "Goldthwait is the most meteoric, most brilliant comedian to came along since Steve Martin," wrote Rivers. During his performance, Goldthwait characteristically •# •i 1 . Ili., : ' •1. C, + 7; .
