If you decided to tiptoe out for a night on the credit card last Friday, rest assured you missed nothing with two new series that debuted then, CBS' "Snoops" and NBC's "Baywatch." "Snoops" stars Tim Reid, of the late and good "Frank's Place," as a professor of criminology in Washington, D.C., and his wife, Daphne Maxwell Reid, as his wife, a protocol honcho for the State Department "Baywatch" is a Southern Calir c j i i r i iomia sun-anu-sanu iiieguara tableau with a bronzed cast led by David "Knight Rider" Hasselhoff. He wears a lieutenant's uniform, is divorced and has a young son whose custody he shares with the mother. Each show lasts an hour. But "Snoops" appears the lesser of two bores. Its stars are amateur sleuths, much to the dismay of Reid's police lieutenant pal, played by John Karlen. Their debut concerned the solution of a 4-year-old unsolved murder case which involved a dead stockbroker. The impetus for their efforts: Questions raised in Reid's class by a brilliant, cocky student (Jon Matthews), who on his own pursues the case. Also present were a convicted swindler, a killer " Presents their Jazz Transcription of: George Gershwin's PorgyP With special guest il .

Double-crossing and insider trading were part of the hour. But the high point of the evening came when the ex-mistress told the millionaire, "I'm not going to jail for you, Arthur. I'd sooner die." Our "Snoops" couple often engaged in light-hearted banter. This no doubt is intended to show the CPripl! ic Cdrf of 9 rnnfomnArom uv/? ?. vi u wukviupuiai j "Thin Man" expedition, a "Nick and Nora Go to Washington." The problem, as with more than a few shows emitted by Hollywood these days, was the script. It was an epic in lackluster, and our heroes' banter was so strained the show seemed in danger of a twostar hernia. It's always possible "Snoops" eventually will improve. But not "Baywatch." It is full of healthy, well-toned male and female lifeguard bodies, surf scenes and that's it Other than establishing forgettable characters, the premiere featured what may be TV's first case of a beautiful windsurfer killed by hit-and-run jetskiers.

There is just something about getting all of lr food and drinks into the trunk. Tailgating isn't work as well when you have to reach 3 the back seat," 15-year tailgating veteran ludia Cleary said. Drinking is a major tailgating activity, but it lot the only reason fans arrive in the parklot hours before the games. Socializing is y important as well. Whether to meet new >ple or hang out with old friends, tailgating m brings people together. The main reason I go to the games is to ialize with my friends," freshman journali major Marne Barra said iating is also a big part of the tailgating rit. Based on careful observation of tailgating ties, chicken is the favorite food of USC porters. 7-7726 1 C P*5' | FF I v oome 1 | JHmq (on 9 a & fooc ENTER I I Limit one coupon er OPENMON.- THUR ^ FRIDAY'TIL 1 AM [ J WC-289 I ? ~~ present I FilmF Thursday, Septemb Jefferson Squan 1801 Main ? 7:30 PM s\ Mondays" Free Admissior lan's Condensed i of Beatles" hbourne's to Better Table ers :! its, queen s selected for queen JO caiwii- ninr rivil mmnwr mainr - ?- - -? ?w w?

They can ride the bus, but their tailgating "equipment" is limited to what they can carry. Most end up catching a ride with friends. "When I was a freshman, I could never get to the games at all, much less tailgate. I didn't have my car last year so transportation was a big problem," sophomore French major Vee Lynn Wilson said. Parking is yet another expense on top of gas, food, drinks and tickets. The State Fairgrounds charges $3 for parking, but other private lots can cost up to $5. Unfortunately for tailgaters, the State Fair is the same weekend as Homecoming, and the fairgrounds will be closed for parking. Other problems associated with tailgating are less extreme.
