The Daily Collegian Alumni found love in newsroom By Erika Spicer FOR THE COLLEGIAN A chaotic newsroom isn’t exactly the place one would expect a romance to blossom. However, as described in her new memoir, “Boxes: Lifting the Lid on an American Life,” Donnan “Deedie” Beeson Runkel and David Runkel made that love story possible in The Daily Collegian office in 1963. “He waited until the last minute,” Beeson Runkel said of her husband’s attempt at a first move. Both members of the Collegian’s Board of Editors, David Runkel waited until the night before Deedie Beeson Runkel’s last college final to ask her out on a movie date followed by grilled stickies at The Diner, Beeson Runkel said. “I was hesitant because I didn't want to complicate things at the Collegian, and I had no idea she was graduating early and that the next night was her last final,” David Runkel said. A few years later, the Penn State graduates got married. Treasured memories like this one appear in the chapters of Beeson Runkel’s memoir. The title and structure of the book are inspired by a special col lection of boxes she has on her dresser at home. Each chapter of the memoir is dedicated to a box and the people and memories that go along with The box that holds Beeson Runkel’s engagement necklaces served as inspiration for the chapter that tells the story of the couple's relationship.

Documentary exposes fashion’s darker side PARIS Discovered at age 14 outside her Manhattan school, Sara Ziff was quickly swept up into the high-glamour whirlwind of the fashion industry, jetting to Paris and Milan for shoots and shows and getting paychecks with an astonishing number of zeros. She and her boyfriend, a film school graduate, started taking home videos backstage on a lark, but the couple’s hobby bloomed into something bigger - an inside peek behind the industry’s high gloss facade into its darker side of body image problems, drugs and even sexual abuse. Ziff, a blue-eyed blond who walked for luxury supernovas including Louis Vuitton and Chanel, says the couple’s docu mentary, “Picture Me,” shows an industry sometimes out of control. “It’s sort of the ‘Wild West,’ with people feeling the rules don’t apply in fashion, for some reason. I’d like to be a part of making some sort of changes in that way,” Ziff, 28, told The Associated Press.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★ Sometimes you get so wound up S 3 S 3 IS 0 Tuesday, Sept. 28, 2010 I 7 director, Ole Schell, were in Paris Monday to promote the movie among the fashion glitteratti, who are flocking to the city for the spring-summer 2011 ready-to wear show, which begins Tuesday. The movie, which is currently playing in Los Angeles, is sched uled to be released in Paris next month. Shot over a period of five years by Ziff, Schell and their model friends, “Picture Me” makes a convincing case for the need for some sort of regulation in an industry where girls begin their careers at age 14 or even as young as 12. Ziff waited until after high school to pursue her career in earnest. Soon, she was gracing mammoth billboards in her native New York and out-earning her father, a neuro-biologist and pro fessor at New York University. In the film, we see Ziff evolve from a wide-eyed ingenue into a harried and emotionally strung-out young woman. She’s often in tears, reel ing from the sheer exhaustion of the brutal monthlong fashion show calendar, or upset about a tactless comment from one of the professionals backstage.
