Your weekly
horrorscope
Aries: This is a good week
to get yourself together and
think about your future, ask
for help if you're having
trouble, you'll get to where
you want to go.
Taurus: Look underneath
that special person's exterior,
you'll find that his -her heart
is one of the deception and
deceit, look ahead and you'll
find someone who is better for
you.
Gemini: A relationship is
getting 'hot' and 'heavy' and
nothing is halfway. Watch
Ourself or you're liable to get
burned.
Cancer: ,You get what you
want without asking.
Someone close to you is ,trying
to ruin a relationship that
has you 'head over heels'. If
you're stubborn and you
prove that nothing wrong is
going on then they'll leave
you alone.
Leo: You discover that
everything that you did, was
wrong and if j were you I'd be
embarrassed and go away for
awhile.
Virgo: You learn a lot this
week, especially the fact that
someone really likes you and
doesn't care if everyone
knows about it.
Libra: Your social life is
Doing well and though you
spend a lot you'll get it all
back and more. That is if you
play'your cards right.
Scorpio: Be selective
especially where the opposite
sex is concerned. You
deserve the best since you've
had the worst lately.
Saggitarius: Morrey,
money, money. You'll be
handing a lot out this week.
Capricorn: What you have
always dreamed about is
fulfilled, but not exactly the
way you expected. Be, in for a
BIG surprise.
Aquarius: What you tried to
conceal from your family is
brought out into the open. It's
really going to embarrass you
and you're going to be paying
out money to keep it quiet and'
not get around.
Pisces: Money, wishes,
hopes. All this will be for your
week; you'll also find true
love.

Movie review - "Oh, God" .
by David Leibold
Imagine that you have been
granted an interview with
God. He sends you out into the
cruel world to spread his
word and to proclaim that you
have talked to the Almighty.
People are apt to think that
you are looney. Yet if you
have faith, you ignore the
hounding. This modern day
Moses is transformed from
an ordinary assistant store
manager played by John
Denver. God is an old aged
man who is unbelievably
funny and is played by
George Burns.
Our 'sower' of the word gets
into harrassment, threats of
being fired and being en-
tangled in a court case
because of God's own words.
The Lord pulls the humble
store employee out of the bad
messes. At the end, God
leaves him to continue on his
own, then God "rides into the
sunset" so to speak. This
movie actually leaves room
for a sequel where another
person can be the Moses;
however there's no word on
that yet.
"Oh, God!" is a worthwhile
movie to see when it comes to
this area. It is different from
the stereotyped movie
themes such as the typical
disaster story, or the typical
love story, even though it
may be a different variation.
"Oh, God" is rated as Adult

Of course it is your fault. If

Big Brother is watching you
Now to disclose some great
material.
Last week as I was shuf-
fling my way past the library,
my attention was drawn to
giddy laughter spilling from
within. After quickly
disguising myself as a
student I stopped to observe
M.S. and M.D: preparing to
go to class (and having a lot
of fun doing so, I might add).
As they were . leaving,
however, they clasped hands
and skipped merrily to class.
Later that day M.S. became
so tired (from galavanting
with M.D.) that she had to sit
down in the hall to recuperate
before English. Little did she
know that S.M. was on his
way to bother her. Sorry M.,
you were wrong when you
said "Get off my case"
because he wasn't sitting on
your case.
M.A.C. has hit our
headlines this week. We knew
that it was only a matter of
time before she waged war
but what we didn't know was
it was to be Saturday in the
office. For awhile we thought
that it would be M.A. against
the world but slowly the
enemy died and finally only
S.C. and two aliens were left
to defeat her.
M.J. decided to recline in
the Students Council lounge
when she was interrupted by
none other than M.D., .who
emitted a „ slight scream.
