On Feb. 13, the "new" Twilite nightclub, at 1928 Rosewood Drive, opened its doors to the public. That's the same location as the old Twilite, but two young entrepreneurs have purchased ^ the club and plan to bring it a new shine. For natrons nf thr* r?IH Twilitc, as well as those who have never gone there, a lot of improvements have been made to tickle the partying fancy. The atmosphere is mostly the same ? a big bar, lots of space, good drinking prices and classic rock 'n' roll music ? but there are some great & new attractions. The floor has new carpet. The walls boast fresh paint. The bar top is new and smooth. There's another pool table, and a great new sound system that will definitely add to the rocking atmosphere. In the planning stages are a new snack bar in the rear, and live band concerts on a stage in the front.

They were recently moved to other campus food service locations, and none of them are happy about the change. Thomas Hammond, Vertical Jones and Alberta Mack worked at the Side walk Cafe for a combined tenure of more than 19 years. They said they were removed in the third week of this semester because they were accused of giving away food and/or stealing money. Jones, who was supervisor of the cafe for more than 10 years, said, " I hat's ridiculous. We used to do stop audits just to see if the cash report was correct, and we never found anything wrong. "The management of SAGA gave me a job, but with none of the respect that comes with it. The only thing I did wrong was being loyal to this company," she said. "I never accused them of stealing money or giving away food," said Carl Chandler, senior food service director for the southeast region of SAGA.

Review^ 'Ansel Heart' a ?-7 By ANDY HKCHTKL Assistant cop> desk chief Veteran British filmmaker Alan Parker's new movie, "Angel Heart," finds him shifting styles as always, creating a detective story with a mystical twist. Set m New York and New Orleans in 1955, the film features Mickey Rourke as scruffy, gumshoe detective Harry Angel. I he stereotypical '50s private eye. Angel sports a constant three-day growth of facial hair and frequently smokes. The enigmatic Louis Cyphre, played by Robert DeNiro, hires Angel to track down ;i crooner named Johnny Favorite, a one-hit wonder of the late 1930s last seen in 1942. He gives Angel the bare essentials on the ease and periodically turns up to check on his p.ogress. Hindering Angel's investigation is a series of murders of those who have information on l-avoritc. To make matters worse, the police suspect Angel in the murders. . ONLY LOSE YOUR LICEN South Carolina Commission on Alcohol & Dr Governor s Office of Highway Safety.

Angel gets a break in the investigation when he meets a young voodoo priestess named Epiphany Proudfoot (names are important in this film), played by Lisa Bonet of The C osby Show. Parker's synthesis of a traditional detective story and a talc of the occult works well, a merging that creates a cross between "The Maltese Falcon" and "The Exorcist." Parker takes the best elements of ih mnvipc fn create an effective thriller with religious imagery aplenty. Parker's views of New York and New Orleans are different from other films. These cities have been filmed from just about every angle over the years, but he presents both in a fresh light. He doesn't feature the occult just to cash in on the current horror craze, and his use of violence and nudity, while not for everyone, is tasteful. Parker carefully avoids the obvious, which BE. . .

"We follow a four-step discipline procedure, which is followed in all cases. Also, Vertical (Jones) would never be required to do any job which might cause her injury. If she were, I would have a long talk with my managers." Hammond, Jones and Mack filed a complaint with the state labor board, which sent a letter to Chandler. In the letter, the board agreed the transfer was handled in a proper way and said the transfer of employees was OK, as long as the salaries or work hours weren't changed. Nothing of that sort occurred. "It's an unfortunate situation," Chandler said. "We try to be fair with our emnlovrrc ^ We don't over want to do something unless it is absolutely necessary.

Even Rourkc, playing the classic detective, manages to transcend what seems, at first, to be a cliched character. His performance here shows him to be a respectable actor, but after his role in the dismal "9 1/2 Weeks," he had nowhere to go but up. Another secret to the success of "Ani>el Heart" is Roben DeNiro's typical excellent performance. Perhaps the best American actor working today, DeNiro is aina/.ing if only for the variety of characters he plays in films such as "Taxi Driver" and "The King of Comedy." He works well here as the mysterious, low-key Cyphre. Lesser directors might vrely on impressive cinematography to carry their films, but Parker pushes for more than just art for art's sake. His skillful direction makes "An^el Heart" one of the best mysteries in a long time. TjftKi /V^ ?f p-o ^ SUPER COUPON! s. * * *1AA'^X *.
