Their show's continuing success was largely attributed to the chemistry between Siskel and Ebert. They ap- , peared to practice a one-upmanship in the tradition of the rivalry of their newspapers. Ebert is a critic for the Chicago Sun-Times. "We were people who came together one day a week to work together, and the other six days of the week, we were competitors on two daily newspapers and two different television stations," Ebert said. "So there was a lot of competition and a lot of disagreement." Siskel was known for his outspoken opinions of not only movies, but of the people who made them. He voiced objections to the Oscar awards, presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He once told Playboy magazine that the awards were overrated and the system of selection meant the nominations can be bought with advertising. Siskel is survived by his wife, Mar lene, two daughters and a son. \ ity Union ions r 1999 February 19, 1999 Carolina Community) Februrary 22, 1999 Carolina Community) February 23, 1999 ottery on Feb. 23,1999) .......February 25, 1999 Jnits or other student Community, page 95.) il September 2, 1999 Community.) a "lottery" system is used to ensure The highest level of demand is for 11 reservable rooms in the Russell /
