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

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.
When•times seem tough
and your day is dreary
just call me on the phone
and I'll make the day cheery.
You are very special
not only to me,
but I'll be the first in. line
if it's a shoulder you need.

"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.

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.
Tickets for the event, which is cur
rently being co-sponsored by the
college and KlO4 FM, are $l2 and
are currently available at the Na
tional Record Mart in the Millcreek
Mall, at Penn State-Behrend's
Reed Union Building, and at Gan
non University's Student Activities
Center.
Goldthwait has been described'
as: a comic Ozzy Osborne; a per
former who makes the frantic an
tics of the late John Belushi seem
like dramatic monologues; a man
with Rodney Dangerfield's eyes

and the lung power of millions; and
a person who shuns racist, sexist or
homophobic humor, but can still
insult with the gut power of Don
Rickles.
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

"The Bobcat" may seem to be
babbling, but in beteen the spit and
'stutter, garbled gems of wisdom
creep out--reflection on war,
politics, sex, identity. "The Bob
cat," however, is not a social com
mentator. He's a visceral reaction
to the modern world gone mad.
