By: Myka Craig Are you IN, or are you OUT? Do you walk out of the house in style, or a slave to a past fashion? Are the posters in your room out of date, or the colors you wear from the last decade? A personal poll was taken in South Hall to answer these questions. The people who were IN, for "90" and "91" are out for "92". On the celebrity IN list according to South Hall residents, are: Kevin Costner, Field of Dreams, Dancing with Wolves, Richard Gere, Pretty Woman, Final Analysis, Jason Patrick, Lost Boys, Rush , Annabella Sciorra, Jungle Fever, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle. What celebrities are no longer stars because we think they’re OUT? The nominees are: Molly Ringwald, Betsy’s Wedding, Pick-up Artist, Johnny Depp, 21 Jump Street, Edward Scissorhands, Wynon Rider, Edward Scissorhands, Roxy Carmichael, Demi Moore, Mortal Thoughts, Ghost, Bruce Willis, The Last Boy Scout, Hudson Hawk. Believe it or not, there is a warm area when dealing with what’s HOT and what’s NOT. Some actors and actresses were on both lists, such as: Julia Roberts, Pretty Woman, Bette Midler, Beaches, For the Boys, Keanu Reeves, Point Break, Bill and Ted’s Adventures. There are a lot more celebrities that have a place on the three lists, but ink is scarce, and opinions are never ending. Is your Hook (G) By: Lisa Homberger Hook is a movie geared toward a family audience that would be observed from a parent’s point of view as a mindless re- imagining of a Peter Pan tale; whereas the children would view the movie as another new story. Peter (Robin Williams) is now a stuffy, bored, grown- up businessman who has forgotten his magical youth. Helped by Tinkerbell (Julia Roberts), Peter returns to Never-Neverland to capture his magical youth in order to rescue his children from the clutches of Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman), who is out to seek it Peter. In’s and Out’s at PSU wardrobe IN or OUT? According to my poll, if you are wearing the following you are IN: spandex, jeans (loose), stretch pants, sheer, sequin dresses, opaque stockings, cowboy boots, pilgrim shoes, nylons, and tired looking jeans. The HOT colors are: rust, navy blue, black, cranberry, off white, and army green. OUT colors are pink and pastels. Ladies, how are you wearing your hair? If it’s long and straight or naturally curly you’re IN. If its permed, make an appointment, if it’s short, have patience. Ladies, hair spray is out, "f— me" bangs are out. Let gravity be the stylist this year. Thanks to Julia Roberts, the IN color this year is red. Ladies, keep your face clean, natural is IN, make up is OUT. That’s all personal choice of course, if your man likes make-up, its always HOT. Men, not much to say, stay in Nikes, jeans, and stay away from the acid wash, they’re OUT. From a ladies’ point of view fitted jeans are IN, But personal choice is best. Guys, romance is IN and chivalry was never dead. Last but never least in what’s HOT and what’s NOT are musicians. On the R & B charts Mariah Carey is IN, Whitney is OUT, Prince and Michael Jackson are IN while Hammer is OUT. 8.8.D.’s IN, New Edition’s not. On the Rap scene, hard rap is OUT but soft rap is IN. Contrary to popular belief, Public Enemy is IN. On the Metal charts, Guns-n-Roses, Metallica, Queensßyche, and Dweezil Zappa are IN, 9 inch Nails, Madonna, Van Halen, and White Snake are OUT. Robin Williams is touching in character, yet his wild humorous skills are never let loose. Dustin Hoffman, with a lemon-sucking sneer, English accent, and enough wig to carpet the south hall dorms is a fairly amusing Hook. The movie creeps along slowly to a lifting, imaginative realm. My overall rating of this movie is Fair. Thins* to Po Today 1 1. Have * cup of coffee. 2. Wrttoo latter tothoColloglan. 3. Cod homo. Life in Hazleton By: Erin Keane Just what is there to do in Hazleton? By the droves of people who migrate home on weekends, one would gather: Not much! But there must be!? We survive all week so there has to be something. 1) The Laurel Mall, flanked by a McDonalds and Wendys, this shopping metropolis is frequented by students daily. Then again, most people travel just to withdraw money from their MAC accounts. 2) Grocery Shopping! A task adored by all college students. A trip to Insalaco’s or Weis provides just the right amount of excitement to drive one right back to them books. Never the less we cut coupons and price items with the best. Boring you say? To those who prefer life in the slow lane, this may be heaven. For those of us who prefer more spice in our lives, there is always the night and weekend life. NOT! Wait, what was I thinking? There are a multitude of actives to choose from. If your idea of fun is studying or hanging out at Perkins Restaurant, then this town is for you. But you may be a little more wild than that. If you are I suggest the Church Hill Movie Theater. This is the place to be if you feel at home in a narrow, elegantly, patched, vinyl seat. Basically, there isn’t all that much to do in Hazleton. Maybe, sometime soon, the town will realize their college population and open better attraction. However, the campus has been here for quite sometime so we really shouldn’t hope for much. With the arrival of Konfetti’s Night Club, a new "hot spot" maybe forming. But, if it doesn’t, there’s always Wilkes Barre... PAGE 7 Dining Hall Etiquettes By: Corey Gaford It has been a year since I first wrote about the unflushed toilet epidemic, and unfortunately I have discovered another problem plaguing America. Poor dining hall etiquette. Granted this problem is not as serious as drugs, crime, racism, or the dismal economy, but it needs to be addressed. Here at Penn State- Hazleton, there seems to be a small problem with people placing napkins in glasses of juice or soda or mixing their uneaten food in gross creations. Still more students refuse to clear their trays of silverware and paper, as asked by the Housing and Food Service Department. Why, people!? Are there salivating rottweilers on top of the garbage cans? Has placing your silverware in the provided trays been linked with the contraction of AIDS? And let me guess, of all the "Ins-and-Outs of ‘92", I missed the one that stated placing napkins in a glass full of Hi-C and peas was now in vogue. People, I think not. Now, I concede that this does not apply to everyone. There are people who are doing the right thing. But for the rest of you, let’s wake up. First of all, we are beyond this kind of high school shenannigans. Secondly, I’m sure you didn’t pull this stunt at your mother’s table, at least without getting a whack upside the head, or a few choice words. And finally, think of your fellow students working in the dining hall, few of which perform this job because they want to. The job is little fun as it is without some ignorant person leaving a napkin in a glass of milk, or refusing to follow a simple rule about silverware and paper. So, let’s get it together people, grow-up, take some responsibility. Do the right thing in the dining hall so we can dedicate this section of the paper for more serious ailments of society.
