Entertainment Party on the holidays by Bret Hodgert Design Editor ' We’re back again with more reasons to party and celebrate. Hopefully you used up all of last week’s reasons. If you didn’t, you may as well throw them out, they aren’t any good anymore. If some of these celebrations seem like pretty lame exuses, they are. It’s February, nothing ever happens in February. Wed. Feb. 18- Today is Gambia’s Indepen dance day. It’s also the very first day of the Oregon Shakspearean Festival in Ashland. A road trip south could be in order for this one. Don’t be in too much of a hurry though, the Festival goes until October 26. Thurs., Feb. 19 Look out, it’s Mardi Gras! Time to put on your wildest costumes and act outrageous.

Remember, he was the one who told us that we go around the sun and not visa ver sa. Stallone...again...naturally by Bret Hodgert Once again Sylvester Stallone has hit the screen with muscles-a- flex. “Over The Top,’’ his latest release, rates better than any of his previous macho roles follow ing the early ‘Rocky’ films. Taking a step away from his tough guy roles of Rambo and Cobra, Stallone has created a character that can not only beat the hell out of the next guy, but can also be a living and caring father. When the film begins, Lincoln Hawk (Stallone) suddenly ap pears in his twelve year old son’s life. Having left Mike’s mother shortly after the birth of the child, Stallone and the boy (David Mendenhall) have never even seen each other. Through out the rest of the movie Stallone strives to win the respect and love of his son. In the process of doing so they both teach each other a few lessons about life. These are the films good scenes. by Bret Hodgert Design Editor Ever since birth I was told people are things A thing is a noun.
