was classic. Scary
Movie 2 was cute in its ability to
further play on the cliches, and it
takes the game to a different level.
Granted, to me it was a level a little
lower than the first but it was still
fun to watch.
Notices
Scary l\/lovie 3 was a disappoint
ment beyond all belief. The writers
and director of the movie didn’t
have the “za za zsu” that the Way-
ans brothers had. The movie lost its
ability to play off the horror movie
drama (my guessing is because no
decent ones have come out since
Scary IVIovie 2). They spoof off of 8
Mile, The Matrix Reioaded, Signs,
The Others, and The Ring (which
was actually a good movie).
Spoofing The Ring which counts
as a horror movie was a decent at
tempt, but it was throwing in lines
and scenes from The Matrix Re
loaded that made the movie much
longer and even more pointless

than it truly was. Throwing in the
scene with the Architect, speaking
in his overly dramatic Gnostic way,
was pointless. The writers stretched
and pulled to try to pull that speech
off and make it relevant; it just didn’t
happen.
The scene in the trailer where
“Michael Jackson” appears is over
rated to say the least. The funny
part was all that they showed in the
preview. Brenda’s few scenes had
to be the highlight of the movie. If
you’ve seen the movie then you
should laugh at these two words...
’’the funeral”. Everything that hap
pened to the little boy was worth
the laughter.
Overall there were good laughs,
but this third movie didn’t compare
to the other two. Maybe it was the
lack of the Wayans, or the tackiness
of the script. Regardless, the movie
wasn’t worth my seven dollars.

new council will involve Wesleyan
parents in campus activities, stu
dent governance issues and strive
to promote partnerships between
parents, students and the College
community. In addition to the re

she will collaborate with the Dean

Until
To lie beside a dark blue sea
And watch the sea gulls fly,
To listen to the surf roll in
Beneath a clouded sky.
To ponder what tomorrow holds.
To cling to yesterday,
Makes a young heart feel alone.
His love is far away.
But in his thoughts there’s much relief.
She said her love is true.
She said that she will wait for him
Until his journey’s through.
And then their hearts shall join as one
To make their lives complete,
For their true love shall give to them
The happiness they seek.

free and responsible student pre
I’d like to offer my thanks to Kim
Noble, the Decree’s Editor-in-Chief
last year and the beginning of this
year. She is stepping down as EIC
in order to spend the necessary
time on her studies and to take
a paying job in the President’s
Office.
The Decree has had some fine
students on staff since I’ve been
here—Shannon St. George, Editor-
in-Chief my second year here,
who opened up her newspaper to
anyone who would submit good
copy; Tisha Gray, now a reporter
for the Greenville Reflector; Keira
Schlademan, one of the finest
copyeditors I’ve seen; Michael
Gonzalez, who learned to write
objective news and joined both the
Decree and the Dissenter staffs;
and finally, Kim Noble, who learned
how to lay out a newspaper so
that The Decree could finally be
published in-house by our own
students.
Kim made it possible for a truly
representative student staff to
understand and implement the
Freedom of the Press guarantee
in our college catalog and make
it “of, by, and for the Wesleyan
community.”
She also opened up the
newspaper to another student who
will be taking her place as EIC:
Ron Fitzwater, a fine manager and
writer who can carry on the legacy
left by Shannon and Kim and
ensure that The Decree remains
free, understands its responsibility
to inform its readership, and
continues to welcome all students
on campus willing to learn the
rights and responsibilities of a free
press.
We are in the process of setting
present and future guidelines
for the successful operation
and production of The Decree.
Please continue to support Ron
and his staff with your reading of
and submissions to your college
newspaper.
See the information on my office
door or stop in to see me if you have
any questions or any submissions
you’d like to send us.
My most sincere thanks go to
Shannon, who has graduated
and left us now; to Kim for her
willingness to learn the computer
skills necessary to lay out The
Decree entirely in house; and to
Ron for his agreement to take the
reins as Editor-in-Chief this year.
