On April 8, the Andersons brought over 1000 dresses to CSUSB to clothing 1 show, sell and share a percentage with the sponsorship of a non-profit featured at j organization. The dresses were on sale for $32-$38 -- nothing over, nothing under. The dresses normally sell in the range of $70-$ 100 in the Dress ] retail stores. Through a friend of a friend, Anderson is able to buy Party. dresses below wholesale prices from companies that sometimes have overloads. He then sells them to the public at 50 to 80 percent off the suggested retail price. Jeff never sells alone and never without a purpose. He always works with a sponsor group such as charities, church groups, womens groups, schools, scholarship fund-raisers and others. His basic idea is that it's a lot more fun than a bake sale or rummage sale and it will earn each group a lot more money. Everybody wins and he makes his profit. The charity gets their money and the consumers get great bargains. The Andersons have been doing the "Dress Party" for 20 years now. They are very successful at it and enjoy it. It is a family-run Jeff Anderson operation and has been successful as their only source of income. with his On Average they do 250 shows a year. Not only does Anderson set up and sell as he did today, but he also does luncheons, tea parties, assistant mother- daughter days and pretty much anything the sponsor group elects Rochelle. him to do. Currently The Andersons employ two non-family members as as­ sistants, Rochelle and C.C. The employees agree that Anderson is "... very knowledgeable about a lot of things. He's fun to be with, and is a great mentor." Rochelle and CC are looking one day to have their own businesses.

Amber S. Minor She Said: Arts & Entertainment Editor

When the trailers first came out for "Matrix", I thought the special effects alone would make the movie worth seeing. I know that often, many movies that have incredible special effects don't carry much of a plot. So, I wasn't expecting any kind of intricate storyline to accom­ pany the visual stimulation of "Matrix". The writers seemed to try to hold up the special effects with a decent story. It was science fiction, but portrayed a very philosophical view of reality as well. And the writers did a good job of explaining to the viewer just exactly what the matrix is. Overall, I enjoyed the movie's storyline more than I had expected to. However, I also thought that some of the movie moved too slow. The characters were a little slow loo. The main character, Neo, was made out to be incredibly intelligent, yet it seemed he couldn't pick up on some of the basic ideas of the matrix. I feel the writer's cheated the audience by not going deep enough into their story. They "skipped" over difficult aspects of the story, and made it take too long until the 'characters finally "got it". The matrix is the idea that we are trapped and controlled by a stron- ger force. That our daily lives are only real in our minds, and even then, only experienced as the stronger entity wishes them to be. This is not a new philosophy, that we are duped into believing what we see around us as real. The writers of "Matrix" attempted to give a new edge to this || philosophical idea of reality, but didn't take the audience far enough into the reality of the matrix.

If Descartes were around, I think that he would have gotten a kick out of Matrix, the new sci-fi thriller starring Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne. The movie offers a version of reality from the minds of Larry and Andy m(Wacho)wski that many philosophers have used in the argument of whether the physical environment is real or just a fabrica­ tion of the mind. Keanu plays Neo, a gifted hacker that the resistance is putting all of their hopes into in their battle against the AI (artificial intelligence) computer society that is deceiving the human race and using them as an energy source to power their machines. He is pulled from his pseudo- existence by Morpheus (Fishburne) and his band of merry men and women. Matrix plays to its male targeted audience with plenty of well- choreographed martial arts, lots of guns, and that sci-fl feel that will IMAGINE have you pumping your fists when you leave, if you're into that kind of UNIVERSAL
