Party at Biograph

by Cecilia (iuay and Deborah Doherty It is astounding. 11 is the most bizarre movie that can be seen anywhere in the L'.S. It is an experience you will never forget.

The movie is the Rocky Horror Picture Show and it plays every Friday and Saturday night at midnight in the Biograph Theatre in Chicago.

The real e x c i t e m e n t of the movie, however, lies in the audience participation. The ruwdiness starts in line where com|)lcte strangers start conversations and ••parties' with other complete strangers. Others will circulate through the line and ask if those waiting have ever been there before, and i( an unfortunate has n o t . he will h a v e " v i r g i n ' screamed at him.

Senior girls aren't dating?

Dear editor.

What could go wrong—we're seniors, right'.' Out last year for dates, good times, and parlies, right'.' Wrong. Many senior girls are experiencing the "no date syndrom." Why? Many think that senior boys are less mature than senior girls. This isn't much consolation for us seniors, but it may be the truth in some cases.

Another problem, possibly the most important, is shyness. Many are just too shy to ask a girl out.

One other problem; EGO. Younger girls idolize senior boys. Consequently, the boys take out younger girls to feed their egos.

We have college to look forward to. senior girls. Don't cry over the fact you don't date now — chances a r e that if you did date that "Prince Charming " you always dreamed about, and he is a senior — you would have a terrible time!

Inside the theatre the festivities start when some of the audience — dressed as characters in the movie — assume the stage to actout scenes from the movie as the soundtrack plays. One of the first "scenes is " of a marriage where the a u d i e n c e p a r t i c i p a t e s by throwing rice at the screen. Later the couple walks through the rain as the viewers squirt water in the theatre. The audience does come prepared — everyone has newspaper to put over his head to keep drj". Other highlights for the audience include tossing "Scotf tissue as Brad yells "Great Scotf and pitching toast as Frankn' Furter propo.ses a toast.

Unfortunately, the theatre owners have recently started to check identification, and the police have started to enforce curfew laws.

.\n eight periiul schedule for next year provokes many reactions from the .student body and faculty. This weeks forum question is. "What do you think of an eight period day'.'"

Lisa Belcaster "82. "I think its a number one disadvantage that we cant get t)ut early unless we have work program. I do like the idea of getting help alter school, but on the whole, a nine period day is better " Wayne Raasch '82. "l like the eight period day because all 1 do now in ninth period study is waste my time. You can't work because you watch the clock all period while all your friends walk out the door. It really should be a seven period day"" Mike Regas '83. Getting to school earlier doesn't bother me because like most kids I get heie at eight o'clock anyways. Its also better because I hate study halls and there d be less of them."

Julie Langtim. "81. "The shorter day is not an advantage for upperclassmen because sophomores and freshmen get out at the same lime. .Also, the day will seem longer b e c a u s e the p e r i o d s a r e longer."

Mr. Glen Van Proyen. boys' physical education. "Well, it'll work out better for our gym classes because well have more time. It's now a handicap for periods one to three and seven to nine because when you take away dressing time vou have about 22 minutes of

activity, but with a 45 minute class we'll have 35 minutes activity. From a coach's viewpoint, the earlier dismissal time will encourage more kids to participate in after-school activities."

Judy Keichard '83, "I like the idea because we get out a little earlier and the periods will only be five minutes longer."

Karen Rizza '82. ""It's not fair that we sophomores have to stay till 3:40 p.m. and the freshmen will be leaving the same time we do. It's also going to be rough on the bus routes because they'll be more crowded on account of everybody getting out at the same time "

Be Human; reach for relationships

by Lisa O'Connor.

Commentarv" Editor T h e i m p o r t a n c e of s u s t a i n i n g close relationships has always had meaning to me. but I had n e v e r q u i t e c a p s u l i z e d my own ideas about love and intimacy until I listened to Dr. Leo Buscaglia. professor at the University of Southern California, speak on this subject in an a d d r e s s entitled ON BEING HUMAN (University of Wisconsin — Eau Claire.

1977).

Now I have incorporated his ideas into my own personal philosophy: Dr. Buscaglia and I believe (in his words).

The greatest challenge to being fully human is being able to form deep, lasting, and meaningful r e l a t i o n s h i p s , no matter what it entails. Being able to take the risk and reaching out. because you know that your alternative lies in loneliness and despair.

Deep, lasting, and meaningful relationships are inherent to the human condition. .According to Dr. Buscaglia. relationships and love are easy and natural for humankind. "Its we who make them complicated." Not only are relationships innate to humans, but they are Vou

a l s o e s s e n t i a l in h e l p i n g to r e f l e c t individuals and emotionally sustain, individuals.

Dr. Buscaglia succinctly stated. "It takes two to see o n e " — people need the security of realistic feedback from other humans.

R e l a t i o n s h i p s emotionally sustain people by preventing forms of p.sychological death — loneliness and isolation — the alternatives to intimacy. The absolute necessity of relationships is undeniable; "Your best indication of your health as a human person is how many lasting.meaningful, d e e p r e l a t i o n s h i p s you h a v e . ' says Dr. Buscaglia, This duality — that relationships contain potential for the highest p l e a s u r e and the worst pain — is the essence of relationships.

William Faulkner admits. "If 1 had to choose b e t w e e n pain and nothing. I would always choose pain ' Pain at least stimulates whereas boredom does not.

Putting an ego on the line is a risky gamble — rejection is possible. But the possibility of success (becoming more intimate with someone) makes the risk worth it. Even if rejection occurs and pain results, benefit still lies in having felt something: emotions did not merely lie dormant and isolated.

Whether or not you take advantage of it. hot l u n c h e s a r e provided five days a week for hungiy students and faculty members by twenty-one dedicated cafeteria employees under the direction of Food S e r v i c e D i r e c t o r Marty Moore.

The ladies' only complaints conc e r n e d t h e kids who kick and shout at the doors and the kids who throw the trays into the dishroom.

Students are not the only ones d r i n k i n g 2 p e r c e n t milk: the teachers are being served 2 percent milk in t h e faculty lounge, too. Due to lack of space, both 2 percent and whole milk cannot be sened.

There is an advantage to 2 percent milk — it contains far less milk fat than whole does, while both 2 p e r c e n t and whole milk have the same nutritional value.
