By Amy Thon and Nicole Meinheit Staff editors

A 76-year-old woman was killed and a Mattoon firefighter was treated for minor injuries early Thursday when a fire consumed Walkers Supermarket on Western Avenue in Mattoon for more than 24 hours. The structural fire, which was reported at 12:31 a.m. Thursday, killed Dorothy R. Cooper, who lived in one of the two apart- ments above the supermarket. Ms. Cooper died from injuries sustained after the floor of her apartment collapsed. “We had a pretty good start on it, but the floor and roof caved in on top and covered the smoldering fire,” said Denny Wilson, a Mattoon firefighter The other apartment was vacant, Wilson said. An immediate rescue attempt for Ms. Cooper delayed firefighters from extinguish- ing the fire, which took an hour to get under control, said Oren Lockhart, Mattoon Fire Chief. Until Ms. Cooper was found at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, firefighters carefully removed the contents of the building and examined them.

Student Body President Steve Zielinski says the Student Government has been having trouble finding students to appoint to these boards and committees, saying he’s “never seen it like this before.” Participation was expected to increase once senate members became assigned to recognized student orga- nizations. The senate members attend the meetings of the RSOs and are getting the word out about these openings. Zielinski says he saw an increase in applica- tions after the members were assigned RSOs, but he still does not have enough applications to work with. The tuition and fee review committee, quite possibly the most important committee, is still looking for three non-senate members to participate as non-voting mem- bers.

There might be a littte bit about Mary, but there’s a whole lot more about the rest of the cast in the latest Ben Stiller / Cameron Diaz film, “There’s Something About Mary.” Directed by Peter and Bobby Farrelly, who also enlightened the entertainment world with “Dumb and Dumber” and “KingPin,” this movie is one of the few, if not the only, gross-out movies heavily rooted in true love on the market today. It’s most likely the only movie whose cast describes the script as “tasteless,” offensive,” and “raunchy.” A description like that would be one thing coming from an audience. But coming from the Farrelly’s incredible list of regulars from past films, it’s quite an accomplishment. Actors such as Lin Shaye (a favorite of the Farrelly’s,) Rob Moran, Herbie Flynn, Zen Gesner and Richard Tyson round out the casts in all three of the Farrelly’s films. So you would expect these guys, of all people, to be accustomed to the type of humor found in the movie. I guess there’s always a few more boundaries to cross no matter where you go. Anyway, the story goes a little some- thing like this. A high school loser, unlucky in love and, well, just plain unlucky, falls in love with the girl of his dreams – not to mention everyone else’s.
