What do you get when you mix a group of outcasts, a rainy day, a curiously hidden treasure map and a deformed kind of sort of Cyclops in the body of a linebacker named Sloth? If you guessed rush weekend at Delta Iota Kappa, you’re half right. You get the quintessential 80′s movie that doesn’t have John Hughes genius finger prints on it: The Goonies. And if something today made you sit up and say, “Man, I feel old” brace yourself. Because “The Goonies” is celebrating its silver anniversary this year.

I admit, I didn’t help the cause by not buying a ticket, but come on. I can’t buy 600,000 tickets.

You’re 24 and invincible right? No amount of drugs or alcohol is going to kill such a fantastic young man. Wrong. Anyone can die at anytime — including the upstanding readers of COED.
