My first exposure to Tarnhelm was the rejection of a short Ciccarelli hopes for a By ANGELA SHUFF Layout Editor Over the last 10 years our generation has fed off the growing national addiction to reality shows, and MTV's Real World and Road Rules has been at the forefront of popularity. Remember when Stephen slapped Irene, when Puck stuck his finger in Pedro's peanut butter, and when Ruthie's alcoholism put her in the hospital. The next drama might involve a Penn State Harrisburg student, Drew Ciccarelli. Ciccarelli attended auditions held in Philadelphia in September, and he has made it down to the final cut for a Real World/ Road Rules cast that will be taped in January. He hopes to be chosen for the Real World, a show that MTV markets as "The true story of seven strangers, picked to live in a house. Find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting The shows are taped months before they air so MTV is currently two and half months into taping a Real World episode in San Diego. Ciccarelli has heard from producers that this episode is a great one and viewers should anticipate its premier in January. For several years Ciccarelli has thought about send ing in a tape of himself to MTV, but he never did. Since auditions were nearby in Philadelphia, he decided to tryout in person. When he arrived he was 197 in line out of 700 people.

Ciccarelli believes he has made it this far because of his answers to the questions. He replied candidly, saying that prostitution should be legal because it would improve the economy and keep drunk drivers off the streets. He explained to the interviewers that cheating should be condoned if the couple is drunk. What also helped Ciccarelli was the fact that the girls in his group thought he was attractive and funny. "Three of the four girls in the room picked me to be their mate," said Ciccarelli. After the group interview, Ciccarelli became one of the 60 who were called back that evening to fill out an 18 page packet of essays. He then suc cessfully passed into the next step in which 18 were chosen to have an hour-long interview with an MTV producer. Ciccarelli said the interview was relaxed and the two of them sat in the hotel living room and chatted about Cicarelli's girlfriend, parents, and his ADD. According to Ciccarelli the interviewer seemed to like him and commented that he was a funny guy. Ciccarelli was sent home to make a video about him self, in which he taped himself at many locations here on the Penn State Harrisburg campus. .* lmd cor- "ber?' the al ti al Experience who agree not su idless. hear from you.

Ciccarelli has waited four weeks to hear an answer from MTV, and very soon he will know whether or not he made the cast. He is excited about the possi ble opportunity of a lifetime, to live in a huge, fully loaded house and meet girls, all at the expense of MTV. However, most important to him is the oppor tunity for publicity that this kind of exposure can bring. Having four months of his every move being on television, and familiarizing his face all over America can open doors and provide connections for a much desired future career in entertainment or with MTV productions. This experience could help his career, therefore Ciccarelli has no qualms about put ting his college education on hold. If chosen, he will only be set back one semester and will plan to gradu ate in December 2004. He jokes saying if given the chance, he would wear Penn State clothing every day and show his school pride to the world.
