Beacon receives the advantage in this category, and a bonus point for the extra College Night. That brings the score of the Battle of the Alleys to 2-2.

Tiebreaker Chippewa has really cool bowling balls, nudging them over the finish line. Beacon is a fine alley with fine people, but as Boines put it, "Chippewa's LIZ LANG/The Observer a better center." Chippewa bowl, with Its 70 lanes, video arcades, variety of bowling balls and college night features has plenty to offer the college student looking for a little off-campus fun. ~------

AJ:HE Friday, November 17,2000 vnSERVER page 15 South Bend have to offer? Now for the feature presentation -Movies 14 or Showplace 16; which is the best pick for your flick fix?·

By KATIE MALMQUIST Scene Writer

Believe it or not, behind the tumbleweeds that blow through the streets of South Bend there are a few havens for all the Notre Dame movie goers out there. But how do you avoid those townie magnets with tiny, cramped theaters and popcorn lined seats? Well we're here to help guide you through a pleasant movie going experience.

Clnemark Movies 14 + 910 Edison Road As part of Cinemark's international theater chain, Movies 14 is located only a few short blocks east up Edison Road, which makes it particularly accessible from campus. Unlike many of the other theaters in town, Movies 14 offers a student discount on all evening shows that brings your ticket price down to $5 with a flash of your blue and gold ID card. The prices are discounted from $6.50 Sunday through Thursday and $6.75 on Friday and Saturday. Whether or not the student discount makes up for the Big Top lobby is up to you. If you're not suf-. focated by the checkered tile and flashy neon lights that are enough to induce nightmares of clowns and circus rings, you'll be lucky to make it to the concession stand without getting tired of the pop­ corn crunching underneath your feet. In the event that you do make it there, however, you may be delightfully surprised by the salt-it­ yourself popcorn (in $2, $3, $4 and $5 dollar bags) and ice cold drinks (running from $2.25-$3). And if you can brave it back again sometime during the show, Movies 14 promises free refills - with a catch. Only the large soda and two largest pop­ corns can be refilled, but after all, it's only 25 cents for an extra eight ounces of Mountain Dew, right? Inside the auditorium, though, it's a whole other story. If you make it there anytime before the start of the movie (which, face it, you probably won't), they do offer a good 15 minutes of various trivia and movie facts to help pass the time. While only half of the 14 screening rooms offer stadium seating - which means you could very well be stuck behind Marge Simpson - they all PETER RICHARDSON/The Observer have high backed chairs that tip back to about a While Movies 14 opens for matinees daily and has lower prices on refreshments, Showplace 16 fea­ 50 degree angle, making for a fairly comfortable tures all-stadium seating and free refills on all drinks no matter what the size. viewing experience. · Again, the only concern is the popcorn on the Though Showplace 16 is a bit of a haul (actually cheesy, but somewhat less harsh on the eye.

WOMEN'S SWIMMING Belles squad to b.egin assault on record books

Associated Press

Who said records.aren't made to be broken? After freshman Megan Ramsey began to make her mark in her colle­ giate debut season by shattering the 17 -year old 100-yard butterfly record last weekend. the rest of the Saint Mary's swimming and diving team is looking to follow suit as they continue on their 2000-2001 cam­ paign. The team will put the record board to another test this weekend, as the team voyages to Indianapolis Saturday for the Wabash College Invitational at the IUPUI Natatorium, the site of the 2000 Olympic trials. The invitational, one of the largest meets the team will attend all season, is another opportunity for some of the talented underclassmen to make a premature imprint on the record board. Solid performances are again expected from Ramsey, along with class­ mates Bitsy Doro and Maureen Palchak, whose swims are expected to challenge the sprint freestyle records by the end of the season. Veterans Lauren Smith in the breastroke, Olivia Smith in the distance freestyle, and Colleen Sullivan in the middle distance freestyle will also be looked to for critical performances. The weekend is mainly an opportunity to capitalize on already fast early season swims. said co-captain Olivia Smith. "We've done excellent so far- we've dropped so much time as a team since the Notre Dame relays," Smith said. "We're just looking to swim well and looking to keep up the times we've been doing all season."

In this case, you have not declared a salary requirement so you should be open to at least receiving any offer. Then you can always counteroffer. If the response to your counter is "We thought you had no requirement." you can say that you "would feel more comfortable with $_ after taking a closer look at it." Again, the worst thing they can say is no. If they don't accept your offer and you still want the job, you can take it at the amount they offered. Who knows? You may end up mak­ ing a lot more money than you thought you were worth. An ex-boss I had while I was in a sales position had this motto: "If you don't ask, you don't get."
