...Lavicka is not alone. Elnaz F. Firoz '02 also had a creepy Lamont experience. Curled up with her psych book during reading period, Firoz took her shoes off. "I fiddle with them," she explains. Just a little while later, she saw the suspicious character pass by her cubicle--several times--and take a seat in the carrel in front of her. Firoz decided not to let the sketchiness bother her and continued toying with the shoes. But after sliding her feet in and out of the openings, she noticed her shoes felt several sizes too big. "I thought...
...idea of viewers belonging to--deeply identifying with--a cable channel is the concept through which Laybourne, at Nickelodeon, may have changed cable. Nick's current slogan, "I believe in Nick, 'cause it believes in me," while a little dubious (do fourth-graders taking tests psych themselves up by remembering that a Viacom subsidiary believes in them?), sums up the philosophy neatly. Oxygen is applying that lesson with an ad campaign that stresses "great reasons to be a woman" ("No back hair," "Baby's first word: mama") and has bought a Super Bowl spot.

...this psych-fi chiller, Timothy Findley's choice of psychiatrist is not the over-familiar Sigmund Freud but his rival Carl Jung, herald of the theory of collective unconscious.

...varsity cheerleaders, 14 strong tonight, do their pregame psych-up at Natalie Rodriguez's house in North Webster. Destiny's Child blares on the CD player, and between trips to the bulging buffet table, two black girls teach the others how to get down to the music. Junior Sarah Budzinski gets a plate of cake smashed in her face in early celebration of her 17th birthday tomorrow. After dinner, Natalie's mom braids their hair, brown and blond alike, into cornrows. "Whenever my mom used to braid my hair," says senior Ann Barnes, "she'd say the more it hurts...
...success on the brain. "I can think of things in life more important than being in the Wall Street Journal," he said, "but I could probably count them on my left hand." It wasn't always this way. An admitted high school "burn-out," this social psych concentrator from Winthrop House says he squandered his first two years at Harvard. After a junior year abroad in London, he returned to tackle his classes with a new vigor. Nonetheless, finding a job still held little interest...
