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your room out of date, or the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.

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...

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.
