Page 6 — LION’S EYE — March 1, 1996 AINE Enter Women’s History Month To Be Marked By Luncheon, T-Shirt By Jane Elliott March means the arrival of Women’s History Month, a time to recognize the women who have contributed to our nation, our communities, and our homes. Here at Penn State, Delaware County, the Women’s Commission celebrates with a luncheon and the sale of tee shirts. Previously Women’s History Month has correlated with the semester emphasis on a particular culture. Two years ago the emphasis was Asian and four years ago African. In keeping with past tradition, this year’s theme celebrates the contributions of another culture, Lation/Hispanic. A luncheon on March 21 will pay tribute to Latin American women as Julia Lopez performs a Flamenco Dance during one of the many performances at the Latino/Hispanic Cultures celebra- tion.

Soledad Flores has been invited to perform “Traditional and Folk Music of Latin America.” Hispanic students and neighbors are encouraged to come to the luncheon and also to speak at it. The luncheon is free to alkLwomen on campus. It will take place in the Large Conference Room, Commons/ Athletic Center, 12:00 noon. Resident artist for the Latino/ Hispanic cultures semester, Adda Santiago, has provided an original design, selected by Penn State students from one of twelve from a calendar Santiago has done, to be put on the tee shirts. They are reasonably priced at $5 to $7, are for men and women, and are a burgundy color with a yellow design. Profits from the sale of the tee shirts goes to an organization in Philadelphia which benefits Puerto Rican children, Taller Puerto Riqueno.

Campus Hotspot OOO hy AYA = \ 2) \ J \ om Design for Women’s History Month Tee Shirts New Rec Lounge Enjoys Quick Popularity By Nicholas Felici The new Student Recreation Lounge, some say, is more a comfortable entertainment ‘pad’ than anything else. It's a place to hang your hat, call it a day, and then call for pizza. But this lounge, located in the Commons Building, has a soul. It has dreams and inspirations. Just recently established, the place already has many dwellers, and many plans. The Engineering Club took hold of the idea to form a pool tournament. The game is 8-ball, and the rules will be posted. There is also a brand new ping-pong table, but no word on any plans for a table tennis tournament. ‘Mary Reilly’ Retells a Classic by Laurie Koechert Mary Reilly, starring Julia Roberts and John Malkovich, is a mediocre performance of the classical Jekyl and Hyde. Mary, played by Julia Roberts, is a servant of Dr. Jekyl and watches his movements closely. Suddenly one day Dr. Jekyl, played by John Malkovich, announces that he has a new assistant, Mr. Hyde. All the servants are curious to know who this man is because he has yet to be seen. During a conversation about her father Mary mentions his drinking problem. This triggers something in Dr. Jekyl’s mind when she says the alcohol brought out another person. Mrs. Pool, a servant of Dr. Jekyl, describes Mr. Hyde to Mary as a man with a funny walk and “his eyes come out of the dark as though he was made of it”. Mary has reoccurring nightmares of her childhood and Mr. Hyde. When she awakes, she hears her bedroom door close. She gets up to follow the sound of footsteps. She follows the footsteps of Mr. Hyde, unknowingly. As she enters the laboratory behind Mr. Hyde she hears someone screaming. When she hears the footsteps approaching from his direction she goes back to her room. Throughout the movie Mary tries to put the pieces together. She is trying to discover what the experiment is that Dr. Jekyl is performing. Slowly she falls in love with Dr. Jekyl, as Mr. Hyde expresses his love for her. After she puts “two and two together”, Mr. Hyde reveals the truth about the experiment and tells her the two formulas that are involved. She helps Mr. Hyde with the final cure and expresses her love for Jekyl. The story of Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde is revealed in this movie. If you never understood the theory of the story you must go see Mary Reilly. The big-screen television made a great impact already. The new VCR allows individual students to take out movies from the library or bring in whatever tapes they have from home. SGA has a complete disclaimer on all video tapes. There are dozens already in stock. Rumors of an NCAA Final Four basketball party are being thrown around, though no details are yet available. SGA has posted rules for using the pool table and VCR in order to keep them in good shape. They have also created a schedule of student supervisors on duty in the lounge during the hours of operation: 9a.m. to 5p.m. daily, with evening hours 7- 10p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The new lounge, which is still nameless, also houses the SGA offices. If you need to check in with a member of Student Government, you can reach them there. But you have to go through the huge George Foreman first. Who Are These People?
