Page iM^,am CAMPUS FEATURES Beauty for the Body and Spirit ^ NINA ElAEVE BORUM Staff Writer The eyes are said to be portals into the soul. Far fetched as it may be, the eyes are one of the first features people notice \^en talking to us. Sincc people look at our eyes on a regular basis, let us take some time to bring out their natural beau^l The following are six tye shadow shades that Prevention Magazines' editor gives us to bring out our eyes. 1 Pearl Stone by Estee Lauder. This soft lilac shade goes beautiful* ly against dark eyes- 2. Bronze Shimmer Wa^ by Bobbi Brovvn. This shadow contains subtle gold flecks that compliment green and hazel eyes. 3. Pewter Eyeslicks by Cover Girl. This gel stick can be used for lining or shading. This neutral tone com plements all eye colors. 4. Pearl Eyeglide by Revlon. Not only will Pearl Eyeglide bri^ten your eyes but also the unique sponge tip makes for foolproof application. 5. Sugar Plum by Merle Norman Luxiva. If you are going for the smoky sexy look, this sheer shadow Is the one for you. 6. Honey Lust by Mac. This peachy bronze does wonders for blue eyes and if you are going out for a night on the town apply this with a wet brush for extra shine. Now that we've focused on how our eyes look, let us focus on how to look through them. We, as humans, have a tendency to only see things from our perspective. If you think about it, doesn’t it make sense that someone standing 10-15 feet above us sees a bigger perspective than we do? From that distance, one can see some of our blind spots and the big ger piaure. Likewise, God has the ability to see a clearer perspective than we do in our life. He sees our past, present and future all at once. Let us take time this week to rest in the thought (hat God knows how things will turn out. Sometimes we gel frustrated, because &on] our perspective we think God is unjust in allowing so much evil and suffering to prevail in this woild. Fortunately, we have a God who not only sees the suffering and evil in the world, but also has personally experienced it. Philippians 2: 7 says that Christ ".. .made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant beii^ made in human likeness, and being found m appearance as a tnan he humbled himself and became obedient to death." From this scripture we know that Ood is not a distant God who doesn't relate to our lives. We have a patient God, who has a bigger picture in mind. Second Peter 3: 9 states "He is patimt with you not wanting anyone to perish, but everyoite to come to repen tance." It is possible to say that God has not ended this sad world yet, because he is patiently waiting for those who are still in sin to come to repentance, and then as 2 Peter 3 continues "be will come like a thieP (v.lO). So this week, instead of seeing God as a distant God who has for gotten about the world's troubles, see him as a patient God who has not ended the world because he is still patiently waitii^ for sinners to come to repentance so that all may eiyoy his eternal Kingdom. Can 50 First Dates Live up to the Hype? ADAMSANDLER DREWBARRYMORE Ttie uhmcie boc^ielor wA face ultimate tjialenge in tfieafers Feb 13^ ^X)4 Photo courtesy of sonyphlures. com ANDR£AJ. NEIL Staff Writer 50 First Dates has man aged to be top dog at the box office the past two weekends in a row but to many, the movie was a big disappointment. It seems the movie's biggest fans are middle and high schoolers who still giggle at curse words and lame sexual inu- endos. Many of the ftmnier scenes were ruined by over exposure in recent televi sion previews. The movie takes place in Hawaii, the perfect place for Arctic marine life veteri narian Henry Roth (Adam Sandler) to work by day and take advantage of sex- crazed tourists by night. Commitment is out of the question for this womaniz er, whose life-long dream is to sail to Alaska to study the underwater life of walruses Harry's dreams come to a halt when he encounters the beautiful young Lucy Whitmore (Drew Barrymore) at the local Hukilau Cafe one morning. Harry is intrigued by watch ing Lucy transform her breakfast waffles into archi tectural magnum opuses at an adjacent table and works up the courage to go talk to her. Henry becomes so smitten that he breaks his rule about not dating local girls and agrees to meet Lucy the next morning for breakfast. . The next morning, how ever, Lucy is clueless as to who Henry is and screams for help. Utterly confused and embarrassed, Henry leaves the restaurant. In the parking lot the Hukilau's head waitress informs him that Lucy has been in a car accident that caused her to lose all short term memory. Every night when Lucy goes to bed, all her memory from that day is erased and she wakes up with a clean slate, the waitress explained. Still smitten with Lucy, Henry cooks up outlandish ideas each day to regain Lucy's interest. While this goes on for some time, Henry soon grows tired of thinking up ways to re-intro- duce himself to Lucy every single day, only to be forgot ten again. With the help of Lucy's adoring father (Blake Clark) and speech-impaired brother (Sean Astin), Henry tries to remedy Lucy's con dition with videotapes and photographs of their rela tionship together. Sadly, while Henry has fmally learned to love, there is nothing to be done for Lucy's condition. He has fallen in love with a woman who can never really love him back-after all, she has always just met him. One has to admit that this storyline is a uniquely cute idea, but halfway through the flick the cuteness fades as it begins to show an annoying resemblance to Groundhog D(^'sKpet\\i\t- ness. Sandlfer's juvenile humor and raunchy friends are mitigated by Barrymore’s simple sweet ness, but overall the movie is barely tolerable. The suc cess of this movie may con tinue to lure teenage viewers in for the next few week ends, but sooner or later people have got to realize that Sandler movies are on the outs. 50 First Dates is rated PG-13 for crude sexual humor and drug references.
