Everybody Is A Star by TRACEY BOGGIER I n an effort to benefit the Children s Hopes and Dreams Foundation, Se- ton Hall ' s Circle K club held a lip sync contest this winter. The event, which was the first of its kind sponsored by the Circle K, included six different acts mouthing the lyrics of popular songs while performing as the professionals. According to Debra Mar- dirosian and Anthony Mari- no, co-chairman of the con- test, all the proceeds will go to the Childrens Hopes and Dreams Foundation, an or- ganization that aims to make wishes come true for children who are terminally ill cancer victims. The bene- fit raised over $200 for the foundation. We both put a lot of time and energy into the show and are glad that we could help a terminally ill child ' s last dream come true, ' ' said Mardirosian. The performers were judged in the areas of origi- nality and appearance, as well as the actual lip sync. Professor Keith McKean of the School of Education; Sue White, lieutenant gov- ernor of the Circle K; and Angela Lombardi, Circle K president were the judges of the contest. The contes- tants were judged on a ten point scale in each of the three categories, with a maximum of thirty points for a perfect act. First place, a cash prize of $75, was awarded to the group Majik, for their rendi- tion of Aretha Franklin ' s Respect . Members of Ma- jik included Kathy Matta, Angela Manco, Jo Clinton, Irene Leahy, and Mary Hally. Recipients of the second place trophy were Mark Ward, Mike Ward, Jim Burke, Jim Tannucilli, and Anthony Marino collectively know as Action. Action per- formed their version of What 1 Like about You ' ' by the Romantics. The third place trophy was awarded to the musical duo of Don- nie Malter and Doreen Comparato, who lip sang the recent top ten hit by Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam, All Cried Out ' ' . Other competitors in the lip sync contest were Todd Soder and Robert Moor- head. Soder portrayed Bruce Springsteen ' s Dan- cin ' in the Dark ' ' . He even pulled a girl out of the audi- ence and onto the stage for his finale. Moorhead per- formed his impression of the Police s Message in a Bottle . Circle K is a Co-educa- tional service organization, serving both the Seton Hall campus and the communi- ty. We raise money for lo- cal organizations as well as international organiza- tions, ' ' said Mardirosian. Some of the organiza- tions to which Circle K con- tributes include the March of Dimes, Save the Chil- dren, local nursing homes and walk-a-thons.
