Scorsese scores
with "Goodfellas”
by Kevin Newhart
In 1973, a film named "Mean Streets”
was released. It teamed two up-and
coming talents in the movie industry;
namely, director Matrin Scorsese and
actor Robert DeNiro. The film gained
critical acclaim and gave Scorsese and
DeNiro the recognition they deserved.
But “Mean Streets” was not the end
of this director-actor conjunction. They
would go on to make four more films
together, including “Taxi Driver” in
197$ and “Raging Bull” in 19$0, two of
the most influential films of our time.
Now, Scorsese and DeNiro have
come together once again to bring us
“Goodfellas/' the true story of a young
Irish/1 talian bey named Henry Hill who
was “adopted” by the neighborhood
How to get a job

The interview generally goes well at
first. I introduce myself, inform them
that I’m a Penn State student (Pre-law
major), a good worker, and that I have
a great deal of experience in such a
position. Call me crazy, but at this point
I’m feeling pretty confident Suddenly,
the dreaded question comes...
“Are you planning on going home for
Christmas?"
Okay. Let me get this perfectly
straight I am definitely qualified for the
position. I am available when they need
me. But on top of that, they want me to
stay here (ALONE) in Hazleton while
my family sits on the living room floor
on Christmas morning sadly staring at
my unopened gifts...all of this in return
for minimum wage and outrageous
taxes taken out?! Yeah, right
So now I'm getting wiser (maybe I'm
a little slow) and I have devised a
step-by-step plan for a job search:
1. Fill out the job application com

2 Wait three weeks before they bother
to call

Mafia and who became one of their
own. Henry, when grown up, is played
by Ray Liotta in his moat brilliant
performance to date. The role appears
to have been written with him Liotta
mind.
Henry was hired to run errands by
Paul Cicero (Paul Sorvino), the head of

Tell them your parents live in Alaska
and used their last pennies to send you
to college and therefore you can't afford
to go home. Or tell them your parents
disowned you when you decided to
move so for away from home rather
than go to a local college. Whatever
works!
You may now ask what to do when
you're ready to go home for your
Christmas feast It's easy -- just quit
You could be kind and give notice, or
you could just “forget” to show up. It's
rude, but I honesty believe that asking a
college students to give up Christmas at
home is also rude. It's a matter of
morality.
There's ony one more problem. What
happens when you come back to school
and go into debt again? Don’t worry!
Just dig this article out and start all over.
Happy job hunting!
