PERMENTER, FROM PAGE 4A

the recently assassinated, fair,er system of weekly meals was costing them too much because they base their budget on the hopes that many students will not

redeem all of their meals. That begs the question: What kind of hair:brained organization bases its budget on what the customer is not likely to consume? That sort of thing can't be predicted. CAMPUS Furthermore, this extended opportunity to redeem our meals did not neces- sarily result in extremely high levels of product consumption. In most cases, students went to The Pickle Barrel - our own little campus convenience store of sorts - to use up all their leftover meals at the end of each week. You know, The Pickle Barrel... where the average box of Rice Crispies costs four dollars and the average six-ounce can of fruit costs $1.20. I'm sorry, remind me who's losing out here? As if that isn't proof enough that the flaw is in the system rather than in the people who simply demand what they've paid for, many students will admit to having used their newfound freedom with meal plans to buy themselves or a CARPET SALE friend a little treat, say after a difficult exam on a mid-week afternoon. In such a case, the student would often sacrifice a whole meal voucher - the value of which is around five dollars - for a smoothie or an ice cream cone worth no more than a couple of bucks. Watch as that extra three dollars magically disappears! The kicker is this: Many students do not pay for their own meal plans. Their Plush, Room Size Rugs parents don't pay for them either. Be it through the PELL grant or subsidized loans, the money Food Services receives for meal plans often comes directly from - you guessed it - the government. There's a word for using government money for anything other than the purposes for which it was approved. I believe it's called fraud. More specifically, what they're practicing is called constructive fraud. Yes, it's in the books. Look it up. It may be some time before we can formally confront the department with these charges, so in the meanwhile we must concentrate on actuating a grass roots movement. Flood the department with letters and emails, utilize your student government, and most importantly, get your money's worth out of your meal plans. Georgia Southern students work hard, and we only want what's ours. Hundreds to choose torn! Amanda Permenter is the editor-in-chief of The George-Anne and can he reached at [email protected].

Weekend Minutes Could he play out that premise again under different circumstances? Say, the comic-book version, with blue tights and a cape? No superhero fits the literary Christ motif as neatly as Superman, so it's no surprise the soulful, buff and blue-eyed Caviezel is one of the fan favorites to • ' answer a question that has perplexed Hollywood for decades: "Who can play Superman?" "Would he like to do it? He loves Superman," said Beverly Dean, Caviezel's manager. "But the truth is there has been no offer, the script isn't even finished —but absolutely he'd be interested." Bryan Singer, who directed the "X-Men" movies, took over the "Su- perman" project last month, refueling the rumor machine. He is currently at work on a script, and Warner Bros, says he hasn't begun the casting process, although it must start soon to make the target 2006 release date. But playing someone bulletproof has many risks. Some, like Law and Hartnett, con- sidered and then rejected the role, in part out of fear of sight-unseen sequel commitment. Other contenders like Fraser and former "Roswell" actor Jason Behr are still interested, but not holding their super-freezing breath waiting for "Superman" to finally come together.

To most, Otep is either art in its purest form or pure crap. Their latest offering will most likely reinforce your own beliefs, for the band hasn't changed much at all.
