becomes the Bartels' nanny.
Unlike many run-of-the-mill thrillers,
the revenge being sought is not murder,
but alienation. Peyton is insane. She's
taken a trip into the twilight zone, and has
decided that Claire took her family;
consequently, she will take Claire's family
and live happily ever after.
The film is suspcnseful. Peyton comes
across as sweet and charming, but in the
meantime she is busy trying to destroy
Claire and make her doubt her husband.
For instance, Peyton plants the idea in
Claire's mind that Michael is having an
affair. She does this by stealing a cigarette
lighter from Claire's friend and putting it
in Michael's pocket.
The acting is superior, and makes the
hour and 55-minute film flow. Rebecca

(i.e., Edition 2 for $2O is replaced with
Edition 3 for $6O, and the only structural
change is the editor's "Things Different In
This Edition" page).
This conspiracy also prohibits you
from selling most of your books at
semester's end.
Last semester, I spent $l5O on books.
In December, they took three of the 10
books back, and I left for Christmas break
with $l5 and seven books I did not want
to keep.
Yes, I am a complainer. I have a right
to be-and so do you. You pay tuition to
come here, and perhaps you pay room and
board to stay and eat at this intellectual,
suburban oasis.
But think this over:
Joab Thomas makes $200,004 a year
(yes, and FOUR dollars). He lives rent

Promotes
Robert Diehl
Robert Diehl, a part-time loader/unloader for United Parcel Service,
has been promoted to part-time supervisor.
Robert has been a UPS employee for almost 1 1/2 years. During that
time, he has served as a loader in the Harrisburg facility.
His new responsibilities will include being a part-time supervisor in the
Harrisburg facility. Robert is a structural engineering major at Penn State
Harrisburg. He came to UPS for the money to pay for his schooling. He
also likes the part-time hours and benefits package.
Best of luck to Robert
DcMornay is quite convincing as the
nanny who tries to take over Claire's life.
Her character is strong, conniving, and in
some ways so ordinary that it's scary.
Peyton is so crazy, she even breastfeeds
Claire's newborn son, Joey.
Claire is sweet and unassuming. She is
also vulnerable because she has asthma.
Sciorra genuinely convinces the audience,
especially when she has an asthma attack
right after Peyton emptied all of her
inhalers.
Because of the director's excellent use
of juxtaposition, the audience empathizes
with Claire, when she realizes Peyton is
the dead doctor's wife. Claire becomes
suspicious and visits the doctor's house,
which is for sale.
Upon entering what was supposed to
be the nursery for Peyton's unborn child,
the images of turtle wallpaper, wind
free, has a car provided for him, and gets
all his meals free of charge. Geez, that
clothing bill must be a bitch.
Joe-pa, although I love him too, makes
an OBSCENE amount of money. When
you see how much cash is invested in our
football program, it is a crying shame that
Penn State balks at our request for a new
library.
But if you think that Penn State
football is the greatest thing since sliced
bread, think this over-with the tuition we
pay, can you believe Penn State charges
us $5O to see SIX of our OWN games?
The motto is "We Are Penn State." We
pay the SAME tuition as our State
College comrades.
But, unless you're at "the Holy Land,"
or you can make some cash for the
economical institution known as "The
Pennsylvania State University," you're
just another social security number lost in
Beaver Stadium football traffic.
chimes and a breast pump are juxtaposed.
Peyton had just put up the same wallpaper
and chimes in Joey's room, and had used
the breast pump to maintain her milk
production after the miscarriage.
Another key character in the film is
Solomon, a mentally impaired handyman.
Ernie Hudson gives a fine performance as
the kind handyman who senses the evil in
Peyton.
Although his character seems to have a
Lemmys, from page 14
Excellent moviemaking in the action
following the man who doubted the
Warren Commission, and dared to be
different.
2) "Dead Again"-Irish actor/director
Kenneth Branagh brings a sense of
Hitchcock back to the screen in one of the
most pleasant surprises of the year.
3) "Silence of the Lambs"-what can I
say that hasn't already been said? Great
performances and direction all around!
4) ’’City Slickers''-Billy Crystal as a
RIGHT THERE-Patrick Kiblisky illustrates his point on a map of South America
during his hour-long presentation on the geography and culture of Chile. An
audience of fascinated students and facultygathere in the Gallery Lounge to
listen to Kiblisky on Feb. 24. Kiblisky's talk was part of Penn State Harrisburg's
Lunch with an International Flavor program, which focuses on a different
country each month.
Lawrence, from page 15
"We tell her to keep it down in there,
because we don't want to hear it," Shank
said, laughing.
Although Lawrence's musical tastes
don’t include much heavy metal, her
powerlifting does. She picked up the
hobby to relieve stress and help her gain
weight.
"It’s fun," Lawrence said. "But, it's
turning my legs into little blocks of
granite."
Born and raised in York, Lawrence
maintains close ties with her family.
"My father is my best friend in the
whole world," she said. "I've never met a
more warm, wonderful man."
The youngest of four girls and one
low 1.Q., Solomon is, perhaps, the
smartest of all. Peyton maliciously and
wrongly accuses him of molesting Claire's
daughter, to get him out of the way. But
in the end, Solomon gets justice. (I won't
tell you how-it'll spoil the ending. But
there is dramatic irony.)
If you haven't seen this entertaining,
gripping film, there's still time. If you
decide not to, use caution if you ever hire
a nanny.
cowboy...the year's most delightful
"dramedy." Written by the men who
brought you "Parenthood.”
5) "Boyz N the Hood"-by far the most
powerful film of the year. It deals with life
in south central Los Angeles. Excellent
job by 23-year-old first-timer John
Singleton. Singleton's latest work:
Michael Jackson's "Remember the Time"
video. A step down? You tell me.
Well folks, there you have it--the
winners of the first Lemmy Awards. I
hope this will shed some light on your
movie viewing. Don't forget to watch the
Academy Awards on March 30.
boy, Lawrence said her sisters are her
biggest role models.
"They are absolutely incredible," she
said. "They’re dynamic."
Lawrence is still a York resident,
sharing a home with her fiance, Jody. The
couple were engaged Feb. 22 and plan a
spring 1994 wedding.
The other member of Lawrence's
household is an eight-month-old bulldog
puppy, Londonderry Sir Ruff N' Tuff. The
couple saved for three years to buy the
puppy, whose most recent stunt was
shredding an expensive down jacket,
Lawrence said ruefully.
Shank said she was surprised to hear
Lawrence had a bulldog.
"I can't imagine her with a bulldog,"
Shank said. "She's so little and petite-the
image just doesn't fit."
