Sorority walkathon raises money for Arthritis Foundation
The second annual Arthritis Foundation’s Walkathon will be hosted by
Alpha Omicron Pi Saturday on the sorority’s front lawn. The “Walk a
Mile-in-My-Shoes" 1.6 mile walk will begin in front of the house at
1190 S. Milledge at 10 a.m. Lisa Moery, an Arthritis Foundation
Atlanta representative, said last year’s walkathon raised $12,000 for
the foundation. “All money raised goes to programs and services of the
North Georgia branch," she said. Registration for the walkathon is $15
on the day of the event and all volunteers will receive a T-shirt. The
Blue Ridge Ramblers, a bluegrass band, will perform and hot dogs and
Cokes will be on sale. Moery said she expects over 100 people to partic
ipate in the walkathon. - Holly S. Roach

New York (AP): Batman to get sidelined after 54 years
The life of a superhero just keeps getting tougher. Superman’s barely
cold in the ground, and now Batman’s hanging up his cape after a
steroid-chomping sociopath snaps his spine. The badly-battered Batman
is forced to surrender his superhero status to a collegiate computer
nerd with a mean streak. Bat nemesis Bane will send the original
Batman to the sidelines in a brutal Goiham City showdown. The result:
A wheelchair-bound millionaire Bruce Wayne, suffering a severe spinal
injury, will deal with physical therapy while his replacement, Azrael,
handles law enforcement around town. “The character goes back 54
years, and every once in a while you’ve got to shake it up,” explained
DC Comics editor Dennis O’Neil. “The more we talked, the bigger and
more elaborate it got." The beating continues a bad trend for good guys.
Robin was blown to bits by the Joker, and Superman was killed defend
ing Metropolis. What’s next for the once invulnerable superheroes? “At
least he didn’t die," O'Neil said. And Batman could make a comeback
and try to reclaim his cowl from Azrael. Batman’s brawl with Bane oc
curs in Batman No. 497, which arrives in stores at the end of this
month; the full story will play out over 30 issues. The story will be two
pronged: The disabled Wayne, using only his detective skills, will try to
solve the kidnapping of his love, neurosurgeon Dr. Shondra Kinsolving,
and the replacement Robin’s father, Jack Drake.
Los Angeles (AP): Female boss harassed male employee
A man who said his female boss fondled him and made threats after he
rejected her advances was awarded $1 million by jurors in a sexual ha
rassment lawsuit. Sabino Gutierrez, 33, claimed he was sexually ha
rassed almost daily for six years by Maria Martinez, chief Financial offi
cer and director of personnel of Cal Spas, a hot tub manufacturer. “My
case is a perfect example of a company that didn’t listen to my com
plaints and as a result they will pay a very high price,” the Ontario
man said Wednesday, a day after a Superior Court jury awarded the
damages. The company said it was considering an appeal. Mary
Maloney Roberts, an attorney for the Pomona company, said Martinez
denied harassing Gutierrez. Gutierrez’ attorney, Gloria Allred, said
Martinez harassed Gutierrez by going into his office, closing the door,
and fondling, kissing and embracing him. Gutierrez said that at first he
was afraid to complain. Eventually he made his problems clear to Cal
Spas managers but nothing was done, he said. Ailer he married in
1991, his desk and personal belongings were removed from his Cal
Spas office, Allred said, and a few months later, after rejecting a new
round of sexual advances, his managerial duties were given to another
employee.
Magnolia Springs, Ala. (AP): Vandalized tree to die soon
“Inspiration Oak,” a 500-year-old live oak tree attacked by a vandal
with a chain saw, apparently won’t survive despite a lengthy effort to
save it. “Even if part of the tree were to survive, there is almost no liv
ing wood left,” said forester Stan Revis of Pensacola, Fla. “It could fool
us and live, but my gut feeling is that it will be completely dead in the
next month or two.” The tree was attacked with a chain saw on Oct. 12,
1990, during a dispute over ownership of the property, which was tak
en under a court order by the county for a public park. No charges
were filed. A 4-inch-wide gash was cut through the bark all the way
around the tree’s 29-foot-circumference base. New tissue was grafted on
to bridge the gap so sap could flow. By 1992, volunteers formed a foun
dation to raise money to save the tree, 65 feet tall with limbs spreading
150 feet across. Elaine Gill, a worker at Inspiration Oak Park, said vis
itors had come from 67 countries and from all over the United States.

have vowed, as Mr. Lee should have,
to let this epic speak for itself. No
talking, please.
• Midnight (Friday-Saturday): This
Is Spinal Tap. No one knows who

Listen to the sustain, or to what the

• Aguirre: The Wrath of God. The
most life-threatening visionary film
maker of all time Werner Herzog jour
neyed down the Amazon to tell the
story of one man’s attempt to find El
Dorado (the city of gold) and conquer
the world. A naturalistic tale imbued
with intense religious themes, this is
a primo, sense-soaking wide screen-
er.

thrillers of all time involving the as
sassination of a senator and the mys
terious deaths that plagued the wit

colonists. This cinema-on-speed had
more movie-per-second than anything
this year. See It.
• Hot Shots Part Deux. Do you
get the feeling that the peak jokes
are already revealed in the preview?
• Sliver. Sharon Stone again
works with "Basic instinct" writer Joe
Eszterhas, in the new trend of one-
word slasher titles, playing a woman
who moves Into an apartment loaded
with hidden cameras belonging to
some murderous sex fiend. It looks
sleek in design, but the content?
• Dave. Truly one of the most en
joyable comedies in years.
• Lost in Yonkers
• Sidekicks.
BEECHWOOD CINEMAS (546-
1011)
• Indian Summer/Cop and 1/2. It
was a glossy film about white yuppies
pretending to be children. It was a
shoddy film about a black child pre
tending to be an adult cop. Together,
they're going to keep the theater
empty and clean.
• Dragon. The fact that the Lee
family's "curse of the demon" ties
straight into Brandon's recent death
is the closest I've ever come to belief
in the spirit realm.
• The Dark Half.
• Benny and Joon. See it soon.
• Indecent Proposal.
"Beechwood. Would you...keep this
film around for a few more weeks?”
"Sure. It's just our popcorn

age in the gold mines where the work
ers came of age every second as they
learned the lessons of life from play
ing the board game.

From the most intense Instinct-shar
ing affair to the most trivial apart
ment-sharing type. See the former.
