Rocky Horror Picture Show
by Carol Meiser
The last time you went to see a
movie in the , theater, did you
remember to take your rice,
playing cards, flashlight, toilet
paper, and container filled with
water? If not, then the movie you
saw definitely was not the most
exciting film ever released by a
motion picture company, The
Rocky Horror Picture Show.
If you haven't seen this zany
film, you are probably thinking:
"What kind of idiot takes these
items to a theater, and what
could anybody possibly do with
them?" The answer: Audience
participation! Yes, these essen
tials provide anyone who goes to
see The RHPS the equipment
necessary to actually participate
at various points in the movie by
imitating or mocking actions or
lines of the main characters.
(The rice, for instance, will do
fine when the two main
characters, Brad and Janet,
decide to get married)!
Any avid music fan will also en
joy The RHPS, but I'm not sure
that the music in the movie will
resemble anything that you have
in your current musical library!
The lyrics and melodies are
definitely "unique" and partially
reflect "New Wave."
"Meatloaf," who debuts in the
movie, performs several songs,
and if you're interested in learn
ing new dances, the "time warp"
May be just what you've been dy

staying throughout the morning
hours. Each student had high
hopes of receiving such housing.
This system of "first come,
first serve" applies not only to
the Hazleton campus, but also to
all the branch campuses of the
University. Prior to this year,
students competed for a dorm on
the evening before a normal day
of classes. This year it was decid
ed that advanced housing would
take place on a weekend solely
for academic reasons.
Three weeks later, sixty
eight Highacres students were
elated when they received news
that they would receive a dorm In
the Fall; eleven students, on the
other hand, received the opposite
news. Most of these rejected
students felt that they had arriv
ed early enough to receive a
dorm and were shocked, disap
pointed, and, most of all, angry
when they heard the official
news.
Where will these eleven
"unlucky" students live in the

been fortunate enough already to
find off-campus housing, while
others have not yet had the op
portunity to search for it. Most of
the available facilities have
already been given out. One irate
student from our campus stated
that if no other means were
available, he would sleep on the

(maybe a neighbor has one you
can borrow), you'll see what a
worthwhile investment this
album really is.
And if you enjoy costume par
ties, you definitely won't want to
miss this outrageous classic!
Everyone has the opportunity to
dress up as their favorite
character in wild costumes, and
if you're interested enough in that
character, you might want to
seriously consider auditioning for
his or her role. One local group,
the Lehigh Valley chapter of The
Rocky Horror Players, performs
live every Saturday night at the
Lehigh Valley Mall cinema in
Allentown and obtained their
parts in the same manner.
Well, I don't want to spoil the
unlimited fun you'll have by
unravelling the plot, even though
I could since I've seen it several
times already. To date, people
have seen the film a maximum of
210 times, but if you're like most
college students on a budget,
several times should be suffi
cient. So, if you want to par
ticipate in late night "movie
madness," take a few of your
friends, all of the items previous
ly mentioned, dress up, and go
see the RHPS, now playing in our
area at the Wyoming Valley Mall,
Schuylkill Mall, and the Lehigh
Valley Mall.

Perhaps if enough students show
their disapproval of the current
system and can suggest any other
methods which would be more
fair to all university students, the
present policy would be amend
ed. But, as Dr. James
Staudenmeier, Associate Direc
tor at Highacres, says, "Until
somebody comes up with a better
system, this is the way it will con
tinue."
