O ur college years at
Texas A&M will
serve to educate us
for our future and prepare
us for a career.
Although we will be
graduating with some
form of expertise, we may
not have the “dream job”
handed to us right away.
Many will have to suffer
through jobs that do not
make them happy and are
definitely not what they
want to be doing for the rest of their lives.
My advice is to make the most of these jobs.
You may actually enjoy yourself.
When I was in high school, I had the opportu
nity of working at a high-class corn dog estab
lishment. My job duties entailed putting the com
dog sticks in the wieners, dipping them in batter
and hying them in 400-degree grease. It took
some extensive training, but I finally learned the
job and became skilled at pulling the com dogs
out of the grease before they burned.
Those days were among some of the most fun
I’ve ever had. One of my best friends worked
alongside me, and we had a daily ritual of mak
ing fun of people. We would lean over the
counter, wait for a customer and point out some
thing interesting about everyone who walked by,
laughing hysterically.
We also created dance routines to pass the
time. The store had access to Muzak, which plays
a variety of tunes, from Lionel Richie to Elton
John. Once, the theme music to Chariots of Fire
came on, and my friend and I reenacted the race
by handing off a roll of paper towels. No wonder
we had so few customers.
I worked there at a time when health food was
becoming socially acceptable, so customers
would order a jumbo com dog, large fries with
chili and cheese, a funnel cake and a Diet Coke
— as if the Diet Coke was going to balance out
the 20 pounds of grease they were to ingest.
We also had intelligent customers who would
ask us how much the 99-cent hot dog cost or
stare at the “out of order” sign on the slush ma
chine before proceeding to order one. The only
hard part about the job was that we weren’t al
lowed to laugh at them.
I grew to love my job. I was in high school at
the time, and I guess 1 didn’t have much of a so
cial life. When my friend was working and I
wasn’t scheduled to, I would go to the store
anyway, put on my uniform and talk to her
while she worked.
One night, we even stayed two hours past
closing to clean.
Cleaning a corn-dog store is not*
sounds. We had to sit on the floorwiifj
knives and scrape the dried clumpsd
of the tile. I don’t think our parentsb
when we told them why we were late?J
home that night.
The store was a perfect settingfo::'
jokes. One never runs out of thingstc:/^
lemons, corn dogs, ketchup and mu?/ 1
less to say, we had a good time.andi;^

Deep Rising
Starring Treat Williams
and Famke Janssen
Directed by Stephen
Sommers
Playing at Hollywood 16
Critique: B+
m ^eep Rising may not provide any
# Jdeep thoughts, but it will give audi-
fences a fast-paced, entertaining
monster movie which plays like Aliens on
a cruise ship.
The plot has giant mutant sea-creepies
coming up from the deep, dark ocean bottom
to attack a state-of-the-art cruise ship on its
maiden voyage on a stormy night in the South
China Sea.
This unpleasant fact is unknown to the
group of pirates being ferried to the boat by
Finnegan (Treat Williams) and his engineer,
Pantucci (Kevin J. O’Connor).
The pirates board the boat only to find lots of blood and few sur
vivors. The survivors are led by the strikingTrillian (Famke Janssen),
a jewel thief with some tricks up her sleeve.
Soon everyone is fighting for their lives against the nastiest thing
to come out of the depths since drive-thru seafood.
The movie provides the sort of popcorn thrills audiences expect
from these kind of films.
The special effects are excellent. The monster itself is an imagi
native beast, looking like an amalgamation of every creature on the
sea floor, and it looks pretty good for computer animation.
The gore is intense and not meant for the squeamish. The

creature sucks all the fluid out of its victims, leaving aver

Stephen Sommers, who also wrote the screenplay, directs
a breezy, enthusiastic pace.
The water-based action scenes are much better than am '
Speed 2 and faster than those in Titanic.
The cast, while not winning any Oscar nods, is very entert? 5
Williams plays Finnegan like a poor man’s Han Solo. He y
well who does the right thing in the end.
Janssen is a model who can actually act. She has acha
and deep brown eyes, conveying more than just a pretty face
With Trillian, Janssen is not as campy as her role in Goldt _
is still slinky sexy with a killer mind and body.
O’Connor steals the show as the whiny wimp Pantucci. Hi?
ery and one-liners work well with the action.
Deep Rising is the kind of film moviegoers might turn thei
but given the chance, it will satisfy the B-movie desires of thi:
cult critic — but only if they bring their suspension of belief
