'he Highacres Collegian Chelsea Yawns by Todd Ritter Washington D.C. turned out to be a happening place last month as President Bill Clinton was sworn into office. The week-long inaugural festivities drew celebrities, curious onlookers and lots of attention. The Kennedy Center was host to the Inaugural Celebration for Children, the first of its kind. Entertaining the guests, kids aged one to twelve, were Big Bird, Kermit the Frog and Barney the Dinosaur. President and Hillary Clinton were interviewed by Mr. Rogers and the whole event was hosted by Markie Post. The Presidential Gala at the Capital Centre featured the likes of Barbara Streisand, Michael Jackson and the reunion of Fleetwood Mac who sand "Don’t Stop", Clinton’s unofficial anthem during the campaign. There was a luncheon held in honor of Maya Angelou, the first poet to attend an inauguration since Robert Frost read at Kennedy’s in 1960. Attending the luncheon were Geena Davis, Anjelica Huston, Sigourney Weaver and others. For the hipper crowd, there was MTV’s "Rock the Vote" Inaugural Ball, which had 10,000 Maniacs, Boyz II Men and Don Henley performing. Bill Clinton’s brother, Roger, sang with En Vogue. But the highlight of the week was the swearing in of the Vice President and President. Held on the twentieth of January, the event was led by Rev. Billy Graham, who said a prayer for the new President. Entertainment was provided by opera star Marilyn Home and Miss Angelou, who read a beautiful poem written expressly for the event. Clinton bashers (and you know who you are) got a kick out of watching Chelsea Clinton, the President’s daughter, yawn through the national anthem, obviously an inaugural faux pas. Yet, besides the occasional yawn, the inaugural festivities went on without a hitch, creating a memorable kick-off to a new Presidential era.

The only people who could possibly be frightened by this are Madonna’s boyfriends and people with high blood pressure. The sex scenes with Madonna dripping hot wax on Dafoe’s bare chest and the two of them making whoopee on top of a car covered with glass shards are downright preposterous. Even the plot twist at the end fails to shock us. Frankly, the only thing Madonna could do to shock us is to retire.

By: Kelly Anne Walch Not too many years ago, a serious nuclear emergency happened not too far from here. Most of us are probably too young to remember the Three Mile Island incident, or maybe some of us are too busy to remember something that happened last week, let alone over ten years ago, but what if something did happen? The Susquehanna Steam Electric Station has an emergency planning zone which encompasses the ten-mile radius around die Susquehanna plant; the Penn State Hazleton Campus is just within this radius. What would you do if the sirens sounded to alert the local communities of a nuclear emergency? Would you know what to do in the case of an emergency? The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has set up four categories under which any events or problems would fall. In order of increasing seriousness, they are the following: Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency. An Unusual Event is a minor problem at the plant without any release of radioactive material. No public action is required but you should try to stay informed by listening to local news and radio stations. Both T.V. channel 28 WBRE and radio channel 98.5 WKRZ are Emergency Broadcast System stations. An Alert is a minor problem at the plant which most likely does not need residents to respond. Listen for a three-to-five minute steady siren, tune into an Emergency Broadcast System station, listen for information and instructions, and keep phone lines open. Site Area Emergencies and General Emergencies are more serious problems. In a Site Area Emergency, radioactivity should be confined within the bounds of the plant, but in a General Emergency, radioactivity has been released beyond the plant boundary. Follow all instructions from the previous categories and follow directions as outlined by support services and broadcasts. If you are instructed to evacuate, take only the essentials and know the reception area for your community. Conyngham Borough and the Hazleton Campus share the same reception center Marian High School. You can get to Marian by taking Rt. 93 to Interstate 81 -S to Rt. 54-E, or by taking Rt. 309-S to 54-E. Make arrangements, not everyone on campus has a car and you may he the one in need of transportation. Plan ahead, he aware of what is around you, and remember that a little preparation can save lives.
