"The rash of school shootings won't
stop until guns are taken out of the hands
of children through stricter gun control."

modern nations such as .lapan and the 17K.
where they have more gun control ”

Students were gathered outside liefore

Get ‘em while they're hot: Contest
prize a night with celebrity in hotel
room. Well, sort of...

By Stephenie Drosick

commuting wraith ‘Afi

A night alone with Gwyneth Paltrow in a hotel
room. A fantasy evening with Brad Pitt. A new web-
site. StarStock.com. claims they can make these
things realities for college students across the coun-
try.

"Yeah right. There's no way this website could
promise me a (late with Brad Pitt." said Beth Hayse.
a radiologyjunior at Lexington Community (‘ollege
”It sounds like another lnternet scam to me." she
added.

Officials from StarStockcom beg to differ.

"it‘s just an online game.“ said Suzanne Hayes.
senior vice president of marketing and business de»
velopinent for StarStock.com. “We aren‘t eVen sell—
ing you something."

The celebrity contest is going on to increase
awareness about StarStockcom to college students.
Hayes said.

To participate. students must log on to Star~
Stockcom and register. The site offers a game where
players buy and sell "celebrity stocks."

The site gives each player one million “stain
bucks." or fantasy dollars. to buy “stocks" for
celebrities depending on who is hot and who not.
said Hayes. Students can then sell stocks and buy
more to create their personal portfolio.

“it‘s more fun and little easier to use than real
stocks." said Hayes. “We also give away prizes every
month depending on how high you rank in the stand-
ings."

Ranking of celebrities depends on such factors as
getting news coverage or having new movies. shows
or albums.

To enter the contest for a celebrity (late. students
must send an email describing their “fantasy date"
with their favorite celebrity in 230 words or less.

Winners will receive a night with their fantasy
date in a hotel room.

The catch is that the "dream date" arrives in the
hotel i'ooin via one of their (‘l)s or movies

“It sounds too unheliemble." said David Hill. fi
nance and economics junior. ”i don‘t think that
would fly."

Some students thought that the idea might not
lie all bad.

“At least they give you a hotel room for a night."
said Erin Gregg. an accounting senior. “You could
invite some friends and party."

Not so. in the official rules ofthe contest it states
that the winner of the contest may only occupy the
hotel room. The winner also has the option to sub
stitute 7:3 for their hotel and video or (‘1).

“I would just take the $7.3." said Brad Wellman.

up real girls instead ofjust ones on video,"
