When I got home from school, I played with my Atari 2600. I spent hours playing Pitfall or Combat or Breakout or Dodge'em Cars or Frogger. I never did beat Asteroids. Then I watched "Scooby Doo." Daphne was a God~ dess, and I thought Shaggy was smoking something synthetic in the back of their psychedelic van. I hated Scrappy. I would sleep over at friends' houses on the week- ends. We played army with G.I. Joe figures, and I set up galactic wars between Autobots and Decepticons. We stayed up half the night throwing marshmallows and Velveeta at one another. We never beat the Rubik's Cube. I got up on Saturday mornings at 6 a.m. to watch bad Hanna-Barbera cartoons like "The Snorks," "Jabberjaw," "Captain Caveman," and "Space Ghost."

"I'm a Pepper, you're a Pepper, wouldn't you like to be a Pepper, too?" Shasta was for losi:rs, TAB was a laboratory accident. Capri Sun was a social statement.

I do, however, feel that this time the President is on target with the situation. This is something that he inherited when he took office and that he has had to devote an enormous amount of time to study and look at all the options. I understand the concerns of the Congress, but I re- mind them that the constitutional power to send troops rests with the President, and I encourage them to re- frain from the age-old legislative-executive battle that in this case can bring us nowhere. - On another political note-I would just like to mention . my fe~lin~s of sh~ck and dismay upon hearing of the assassination of Y1tzhak Rabin, Prime Minister of Is- rael. This is a great loss to the world in a time of division and destruction. Yitzhak Rabin was someone who was deeply committed to bringing peace to the Middle East and who last year won a richly deserved Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts. The entire world mourns the loss of Yitzhak Rabin and remembers his contributions to the politics of peace.

Has America made the _wrong decision again? Are we going to pay for the lack of decisive action when the conflict first began? We learn from our past military involvement's, but we should consider all of them, not justthe most recent one. In direct response to the Vietnam disaster, we have kept ourselves out of the Bosnian conflict. History tells us that when making military decisions based solely on the previous military encounter, we have found that we have erred. - We can only hope that intervention is the wrong thing. We must now stick to the decision we have made, and see it through untii it has come to some kind of a resolution. • ' Bill Mekrnt is one of The Circle's political columnists -- •• - --------- ---------------- -------- ·-..,,, ~ : Tus·CmcLE.

My Turn The anicle was about a recent law passed in the state of Oregon regarding juveniles. Apparently, the state of Oregon now has the right to fine parents up to $1,000 and send them to special classes if their child is under 15 years-old and is caught violating the juvenile code (drinking, smoking, etc.), break- ing a local curfew, or skipping school. The infraction in such cases has been labeled "failure to supervise a child". Is this an innovative response to juvenile crime? Or is it an un- constitutional intrusion into the private life of the American f am- il ? y. I really hate phones, but I love my ears I have more strange insecuri- ties than· most regular people _havefictitious accounts about bow mu<;h beer t_hey drank last weekend. The one thathas been made painfully aware to me of late is the fact that I'm deathly afraid of using the phones here on campus for anything other than regular uses-that is making and receiving calls. I don not "forward," I don not "transfer," I do not "connect." I barely know how to listen to the messages I so rarely receive. I never learried how to do all _ that "fancy-pants" stuff ·that comes included with our won- derful Foxnet service when I was a fresh-person, so why learn now?

It is stupid to think this way, but darn funny. I think the rea- son I am afraid of the special features on the phone is based on my general fear of any sort of call-waiting feature ..

At first, I found myself saying good for Oregon - somebody_ has to intervene where parents are failing, and do something about the under-age drinking, the drug-use, and the other prob- lems apparent among the youth of our society. However, as I thought about what exactly this type of govern- ment intervention entails, George Orwell's novel, 1984, began to come alive before my very eyes. And if I have learned only one thing from Orwell's work, it is that this type government action is a bad thing, a very bad thing - leading to only worse things in the future. When our government feels it r: -- ging _ine, pleading with me to "switch over" to that other call, I just ignore it. Do you want to know why? Because I am sure that person I am talking to at that time is just looking for any sort of excuse to hang-up on me, hence if I leave them listening to classical music while tending to the other call, they will be outta there like spit through a trumpet. I also feel a sense of power when I don't "switch over" to the other call, kind of like I'm really bucking the system, really march- ing to my own drummer. My own private rebellion. "They want me to make the 'switch over' but I'm not going to-they can't make me. This silly machine won't tell me what to do, I'm my own man, dag nabit! Down with machines! Smash the technology! I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Or at least that's how I think in my little fantasy world. •••••••••••••••• Another little insecurity I have is my general fear of Q-Tips. I, Scott K. Wyman,_Esquire, hearby swear that I have never before and never will put a Q-Tip into my ear. The reason for this lack of Q-Tip confidence is the fact that I know I will spear my brain with that little white javelin, and I will be instantly be trans- formed into a brain dead drool- ing vegetable. Or maybe I will nudge that little part of my brain that keeps me from __ turning into a full-on raving loon, and I will lose my ability to fight the urge I have to run amok trying to injure everyone I see with a waffle iron and a- hula-hoop. This all stems from all those ear operations I had as a little tyke. It seemed like every freakin' day a big fat sweaty nurse was jamming a metal cattle prod into my ear. I was completely sure that they were trying to pull my brain out one side of my head at a time. "Does this hurt?" they would say. "Uh, yea, Nurse Cratchet, that does hurt. What are you trying to do anyway, see to the other side?" But I kept having these strange ear infections, and ev- ery time I had· one, they had to jam this stainless steal thing into my ear to "get a better look." They never figured out what the cause of the infections were, but I knew exactly what was causing them ... It was those darn instruments of destruction they kept shoving into my ear hole! But hey now, don't get me wrong, I have got clear ears. I'll drive that big green bar of Irish Spring into my ear and slide it all around, and it seems to work well enough.

Look.at. p]ra November 9, • 1995 New·s and.Reviews {~~~~~~~~~:~.¥&.'\:.:W~~n . . \ .,. . Off the shelf suspense: 'Copy·cat' and Connick, Jr. not original by AMIE LEMIRE Staff Writer Suspense thrillers are pretty much a dime a dozen; it takes some originality to make one stand out from the rest. 'Copycat'is the latest addition to this genre, but there's noth- ing really unique about it. It has all the standard P.lements of your basic· run-of-the-mill detective/ thriller flick, complete with help- less victims, bloody murders, studly cops and drooling psy- chopaths. Sigourney Weaver is Helen Hudson, a psychologist special- izing in serial killers. At a stu- dent lecture she was terrorized by a crazed killer, Daryl Lee Cullen played by Harry Connick, Jr. Connick looks particularly cer- tifiable, complete with dyed red hair and crooked front teeth. Helen had previously testified at Cullen's murder trial, and he was put away because of her. To get revenge, he escapes and tracks her down at the lecture. Because of this incident, Helen becomes agoraphobic, and be- comes a prisoner in her· own home. She hasn't been outside in thir- teen months, and even simple tasks like getting the morning paper is a major ordeal. She spends her days in front of her computers, popping pills with brandy chasers, and collecting information about famous serial killers. Meanwhile, a string of grisly murders is going Qn in the area that have the San Francisco Po- lice baffled. Holly Hunter and Dermot Mulroney are Detectives M.J. and Rubin, who are as- signed to the case. Helen keeps calling M.J. about the murders, but when they try to visit her for questioning, they cause Helen to have a panic at- tack and pass out. . Gradually, Helen learns to trust Rubin and M.J., and they work on solving the serial murders. Because of her experience in this area, Helen is the biggest help to the two detectives, who haven't got any other leads on the case besides her. The serial kille~ copycats other famous serial cases, like Ted • Bundy, the Hillside Stranglers, Son of Sam, Jeffrey Dahmer, right down to the smallest detail. Helen, Rubin, and M.J. try to fig- ure out the clues to the murders, but the killer is always a step ahead of them, mocking them. He sends Helen a message, let- ting her know she's next on his list. 'Copycat' is definitely gory and bloody, but it doesn't sue-. ceed as a suspenseful thriller: Movie Eye Throughout the movie I was grossed out; yet I wasn't scared; the predictability factor runs high here. Director Jon Amiel throws in romantic subplots that don't go anywhere-they serve as filler material to take up time. Also, Harry Connick, Jr. gets credits in the promos when he's only in· about six scenes; William McNamara is a major player in the movie, and he isn't even men- tioned. Sigourney Weaver is a convinc- ingly helpless victim; I must ad- mit, the agoraphobia was a nice touch. Partners M.J. and Rubin are life- less; they are stereotypical char- acters played to the hilt: the ex- perienced, seasoned mentor M.J., and her hot shot stud sidekick, Rubin. Dermot Mulroney is sadly underused as Rubin, who spends most of his screen time bogged down in si!Jy romantic innuendos, which have nothing to do with the plot. 'Copycat' is, at times, a decent film. The idea of patterning a film after famous serial killers is origi- nal; I only wished it was put to- gether better. There are gaping holes in the plot; and some of the dialogue is so corny no one would;say such stupid lines-"Agoraphobia? . You meari;she's afraid of spiders too?" Come on, really. .....

Also on the grounds are the old coach house and stable, gatehouses, and the powerhouse. The Vanderbilt Mansion is open from 9 a;m. to 5 p.m. daily. It is closed on Mondays and Tues- days from November through Aprit as weUas Thanksgiving, Christr.-ias, and New Year~ Day.

Sigourney weaver as the paranoid Helen Hudson in 'Copycat' The identity of the killer is re- vealed much too soon; there's no building of suspense because the audience already knows who did it. . In some movies, knowing who the killer is beforehand works, like in 'Silence of the Lambs' where you were on the edge of your seat, gripping the armrests as you watched Jodie Foster helplessly fumble around in the dark. . Here,. this element of knowing more than the characters do fizzles in a major way .. The audi- ence knows, Helen knows, every- one knows. And no one is sur- prised ... In the end, everything works out alright, just as predicted. The movie just isn't scary; you know what's going to happen, and who's going to do it. The scenes with Daryl Lee are supposed to be chilling, but in- stead they're comical. Harry Connick, Jr. is such an ugly sight; you forget that he's supposed to be scary, and just laugh at him instead. I wouldn't say 'Copycat' is a bad movie, but I wouldn't pay $7.25 to go see it, either .. Oh wait, I did.Dam .
