red lights on the end of your fin
ger tips do not constitute the ad
vertised “laser” effect depicted on
the Light Hand's box. These pit
falls can often befall unwary con
sumers, but fear not, we tested it
for you already.
“It had a ‘try me’ button, so we
know it’s bunk," Davis said.
The combat combo would not
be complete without a Star Wars
light saber that expands to 36
inches. Even you can use the force
for $3.
For those who like to blow
things up, we suggest the recoil or
shellshocked rockets by Quest.
Both come equipped with a
launcher, parachute, three rocket
fuel packs and tiger tail lighters.
It’s perfect for the butte or park,
but pleaseavoid 17th Avenueand
Alder Street.
Davis’ pick of the season has to
be the Star Wars Electronic Galac
tic Battle. This souped-up version
of Battleship boasts space combat
sounds and your favorite villains’
and heroes’ voices reminding you
to “stay on target” and "aim when
ready.” The three levels allow
users to rise from lieutenant com
mandertostrategicadmiral.
If shooting is your game, you
can always pick up the electronic
sensory target shooting game, Tin
Can Alley. It comes with a six
shooter, and pot shots can be
made at the targets 15 feet away.
No holiday would be complete
without the classic Ouija board.
To quote Bart Simpson directly:
“dabbling in the black arts is al
ways good for a chuckle. ”
Creative thinkers in your life
may require a more artistic chal
lenge.
Squand, underwater sculpting
sand, can make anyone aquatical
ly creative. The multicolored
Squand squashes, squiggles,
squirts and squishes to any stu
dent’s delight.
One of our personal favorites
was the Fisher Price Perfect Shot
Camera. The 35mm camera, ages
5 and up, comes in red or blue
with grippable handles. The pho
tographer snaps the shots via
viewfinder-like eyeholes. Durable
and practical for anyone who
wants to savor those holiday mo
ments.
“Supercool,” Davis said.
No gift-giving season could be
complete without good eats.
The Easy Bake Oven and Snack
Center and the Mrs. Field's Baking
Factory may end those lonely resi
dent hall food blues. Future Butty
Crockers of all ages can enjoy
cooking up a batch of double
chocolate, sugar, chocolate chip or
butterscotch cookies.
“Classic standard gift giving —
who doesn’t like cookies?” Davis
asked.
Also in the same category of
fun, food and too much sugar,
who could leave out the Snoopy
Snow Cone Machine? Many of us

may remember the cherry snow
cones we could crank out on hot
summer days. Give the gift that
keeps on giving.
The ultimate present to give
anyone when the sky’s the limit is
Emiglio, the remote control robot.
Priced at a spendy $100, the little
guy features endless possibilities
with a gripping arm, light-up eyes,
a backpack and a holding tray.
“Believe the hype and let him grab
that bagofDoritos,” Davis said.
For the gung-ho stormtrooper in
all of us, a life-like Star Wars Banta
may be the perfect holiday wish.
It features a miniature tusken
raider with its infamous weapon,
theeaderfillstick.
It sure beats the singing Spice
Girls dolls for $40 a crack. Baby,
Scary and Sporty all sing a song off
their latest album — again and
again.
A more desirable choice would
be Gus Gutz created by Rumpus
toys. The 21-inch stuffed guy has
removable insides. Any finals
week tension can be released by
reaching in through Gus’ mouth
and pulling out a variety of inter
nal organs including: heart, liver,
spleen, kidneys, lungs, pancreas,
gall bladder, large and small in
testines and stomach.
Whatever your wish list may re
quire, keep in mind these tested
and approved toys. Remember
that Toys-R-Us is open until mid
night, and customers can get lost
in the aisles loaded with bright
colored gadgets, gags and games.
After searching through shelves
of Emerald Forest Troll and Elf
dolls, Davis and I were ready to
head home. Time flies at Toys-R
Us. We left as the store music start
ed to croon yet another tune from
Star Wars.
Toys are part of the holidays and
they are essential for every person
regardless of age. Support your in
ner child. Blow a paycheck at the
local toy store, and indulge with a
little holiday cheer this year.
Correction
The article “Student seat on ani
mal use committee remains un
filled'’ (ODE, Dec. 4) should have
stated that Jereme Grzybowski and
Autumn DePoe are handling the
grievance. Also, the quote attributed
to Jeremy Gibons should have been
attributed to Jereme Grzybowski.
The Emerald regrets the errors.
