Fortune Cookies To Avoid The following advice was taken from Erik Andresen s "No Exit," a cartoon book for college students, available at the University Bookstore in the Russell House. Nice going, Klutz! You broke open the cookie! Don't do it, you fool! Can't you see she's only using you? Horrible death in store for you. The meat in your dinner wasn't really chicken. Inspected by #18. You have a piece of spinach stuck in your teeth. Confucius say, "He who hates his dog is truly a dog-hater." ' You are going to do something really stupid that you will regret for the rest of your life. Gorbachev's Movie Debut ? With An Angel: Mikhail Gorbachev chats with an angel in his movie debut. The tabloid newspaper Bild reported Saturday that German director Wim Wenders filmed the Gorbachev scene earlier this month in Munich, when the former Soviet leader visited the Bavarian capital. In the scene, Gorbachev is sitting at a desk when "suddenly an angel appears to him. They talk about the meaning of life," the newspaper said. In a reflective tone, Gorbachev tells the angel, "You can't build a world on bloodshed. When we humans and you politicians, actors, artists, workers, men, women and representatives of all religions are united, we'll be able to solve all problems and issues." The movie will be a continuation of "Wings of Desire," Bild said. In that Wenders' film, an angel overlooking Berlin talis in love with a trapeze artist and longs to return to earth. Bild didn't say what the new movie will be called or when it will be released. USC Group Inducted Into Rifling Society: On March 20, USC's chapter of the National Society of Pershing Rifles was officially inducted into the society. The ceremony took place at the society's regimental assembly at Clemson University and is the chapter's last step in becoming a recognized organization on the USC campus. The USC chapter of the society received numerous awards, including individual honors for Jermaine E. Whiteside. Whiteside and James Michael Lee established the organizaton at USC. The National Society of Pershing Rifles was founded in 1894 by Gen. John J. Pershing to assist young men with aspirations of becoming military officers. Since then, it has become a very diversified fraternal organization with members with a wide variety of career goals. The organization is not strictly military. The charter members of the USC chapter, Taylor Bowman and Henry Meyers Jr., were inducted into the society March 5. jgrBji But, of course, jVj? darling... r<>Wilsc-FM Kmm "9 0?^ REAL 'COUNTRY COOKING' 18 Lizafcis J Thicket GOOD TOOD TREASONABLE TPRiCES COUNTRY BREAKFAST If . ii 11 , /J HOME COOKED MEATS FRESH VEGETABLES SANDWICHES & SALADS BBS STEAKS t SEAFOOD OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK BREAKFAST.

Students who pine away for the gliding frenzy of freedom and the comradery of clashing competition need yearn no longer. Roller hockey is the latest game, and a team of dedicated enthusiasts are showing Columbia there is more to hockey than meets the ice. Roller hockey, a game already popular in the north, is a new sport to Columbia. Several players asked the Division of Student Affairs for permission to create a new recreational organization, and their efforts culmi naiea in. ine naming 01 roller nocicey as an official university club sport. The sport is a year-round game similar to traditional ice hockey, but players use in-line skates (roller blades) and can play on any flat surface. "I played at my undergraduate institution where we were lucky to have four guys show up for a game," Rob Abowitz, club president and a student personnel services major, said. "It was a great surprise to see so much interest here in South Carolina." The club has 25 members, ranging from freshmen to graduates. The team meets at 4 p.m. on weekdays and at noon on weekends to play scrimmages. The club's leaders hope to contact two other roller hockey units, in Charleston and Hilton Head, but suspect differences in regional playing styles, given the developing nature of the sport, might make a match : uupuuauic. vl %.m^^gmWmm Cindy Nelson is overcome with emotion rollerblading friend.

"It works nicely with the health craze, offering an exciting, year-round activity that is much more enjoyable and better for your knees than running." Some players said it is often difficult for people to get started in roller hockey because most players have a background interest in the traditional sport and start-up costs are fairly substantial. Most in-line skates cost at least $100. Players bring their own sticks and skates to scrimmages. "Pennle think it is harder than it ar.tnallv ?1? - -- J is," Abowitz said of the sport. "Roller hockey is very high-profile, and we encourage a lot of on-lookers to see what it's all about." In Columbia, where the only ice skating rink is a small one in a private country club, rollerblading has become a long-awaited alternative. Last Thursday, the rollor hockey club rented Red Wing Roller Rink to play its first indoor match. Publicizing the event at rol- | lerblade rental locations, the club promoted the evening as a community-wide scrimmage. ' Community participants range from professionals to high school students, like bu- ' sinessman Ed Schuler, accountant Chip Stury ' and Irmo High School student Ryan George. "Rollerblading has the possibility of fad- ' ing away like hula hoops and yo-yos," Abo- 1 witz said. "Roller hockey is not going to become another basketball, but we can enjoy it 1 as a growing sport."

Win Wednesday Nifjits * Major Dad Star to host golf tourney, bring wife Delta Burke -rom Staff Reports Television star Gerald McRaney, who portrays a U.S. Marine Corps officer on the situation comedy 'Major Dad," will be in Columbia April 4 to host a golf tournament sponsored by the Carolina Navy Alumni Association. McRaney will be host of the First Annual Celebrity 3olf Tournament and may be accompanied by other members of the "Major Dad" cast and his wife, Delta Burke, according to Thomas Pollard, president of the Carolina Navy Alumni Association. In "Major Dad" McRaney portrays a traditional Marine Corps officer who marries a liberal-minded newspaper reporter (Shanna Reed) with three young laughters. This role represents a total departure from Rick Simon, the irrepressible half of the private investigating team of "Simon & Simon," the comedyidventure series in which McRaney starred for eight years. "The purpose of the golf tournament is to raise money to provide scholarships to highly qualified young men and women who are seeking a commission in the U.S. Navy or Marine Corps," Pollard said. "Without this fundraiser and the support of the community, many well-deserving Naval ROTC students would be unable to continue with their education." The Golf Tournament will be held at Fort Jackson 3olf Club on April 4 with a shotgun start at noon. me tournament will be toiiowea by a banquet at p.m. at Fort Jackson's NCO Club with awards and entertainment with Gerald McRaney beginning at 6:30 p.m. Interested players or sponsors of a team should contact the Carolina Navy Alumni Association at 777-4124/4125. 11 hold convention ther traditional win be donated to charity.
