Indeed, she lives a double life: a San Francisco Haight Street bookseller by day, a crafty burglar by night. You could say Bernie is like Cary Grant in "To Catch a Thief, but she ain't no gentleman. Oh sure, she's got a code of ethics. "It's not what you steal, but who monitoring her activities. He knows about the gloves. Ray retired early and has blown away his pension money. Now he's putting the squeeze on Bernie to pull one more major heist to collect the payoff. Otherwise, those gloves will simply turn up with ten perfect prihfs on them. Bernie pulls the heist, but complications prevent her from fencing the goods and she can't pay Ray off. A usually reliable fence tries to ever seen killed by a dental tool. Bernie's no dope. All the evidence would lead to the immediate conviction of the woman hiding in the closet. Bernie consults her best friend, Carl Heftier (BOB GOLDTHWAIT), a hyperkinetic guy who runs a poodle grooming service next to her bookstore. Carl hates dogs and is also capable of giving bad advice. He suggests she win some money on a TV game show. Bernie rejects that idea and to ****W"»*«W«I!I«I» WHOOPI GOLDBERG and director HUGH WILSON discuss an upcoming scene in the Nob Hill Section of San Francisco for Warner Bros.' action comedy-mystery "Burglar." you steal it from." She's smart. She's tough. She's cool. She's funny. Bernie's been trying really hard to give up her night job but, admittedly, "it ain't that easy". She makes a good living and sets her own hours. And let's face it, selling books doesn't keep you in designer Reeboks. But one more time in the slammer is more than she can handle. One night five years ago, Bemie got careless. She made the mistake of discarding a pair of rubber gloves after finishing a job. The mistake was not littering; it was not knowing you can leave fingerprints inside rubber gloves. It was also Bernie's bad luck that a crooked cop, Ray Kirschman (G.W. BAILEY), was help Bernie by putting her in touch with Dr. Cynthia Sheldrake (LESLEY ANN WARREN), a dentist who happens also to be a very sexy dame. Dr. Sheldrake wants her ex- husband Christopher (STEVE SHELLEN) to return her ex-jewelry, jewelry bought with cash skimmed from her dental business. So the only way to get it back is to have his apartment burgled. The job really smells fishy, but Bernie's got no choice. In the middle of the heist Christopher returns unexpectedly, and Bernie, hiding in the bedroom closet, suddenly sees a LOT of action in the bedroom. When all the noise dies down, Bernie emerges and finds someone has been murdered. It's not the first dead body she's ever seen. But it's the first person she's avoid being framed, Bernie has to find the murderer before the San Francisco police find her.

Sfeve Fisher: 'The Round man' By ANNE THOMPSON STAFF WRITER His name is Steve Fisher, he's a sophomore and is known on the air from 9 to 11 each Tuesday and Thursday morning simply as the Roundman. Fisher is 19 years old and a graduate of Freedom High School in Morganton, N.C, where he was born and raised. He still calls Morganton home. Fisher has been working at WWCU Power 91 since his first semester here at Western in the fall of 85. During that semester he did only weekend shows. He concentrated on doing everything exactly right, he said. He admits that his striving for excellence was a near impossible task. When spring semester 86 rolled around, however, his hard work paid off. Then WWCU programs director, Cindy Schwartz, felt he had the talent to fill in for the regular daytime personalities, plus he was kept working on the weekends. Last summer he finally got his own daily air shift which allowed him to be more creative. At the beginning of the current school year Fisher had the chance to fill in for morning DJ Paul Turner, whom Fisher discribes as his "partner-in-crime." Turner had to take a leave of absence due to medical complications arising from a near fatal accident last summer. This set thestageforwhat Fisher describes as his biggest accomplishment in radio to this date; the start of his morning program called the U Morning Zoo. The "Zoo" was a lot of hard work, according to Fisher. "Paul (Turner) and myself, as is the case with other morning radio djs, had to get up very early in order to be on the air at 6 a.m. I found this feat hard to perform most mornings and it was also difficult to maintain a decent social life." Unfortunately for both Fisher and Turner, the "Zoo Crew" endo-u and with it such features as Listener Mail, The Morning Top Five, Geke of the Week, Red Neck of the Day, Granola of the Day, It's Zainny (Jingles), The Cafeteria Report, and the Daily Traffic Report from the 91 FM Hot Air Balloon. These, according to the Roundman, were all patented specialities of the Steve Fisher, a.k.a. 'The Roundman' "loo Crew." When asked about the origin of his radio name Fisher said that Roundman was a nickname that was first given to him in the fourth grade. He said he was fat and had the strongest table muscles in his family. These attributes, he joked, put him in the running for the job of the Pilsbury Dough Boy. "That year all the guys I hung out with, the South Forest Boys (a gang of hoods from Morganton), gave me the nickname due to the old waist line innertube. Being the youngest in the gang I was always picked on but never-the-less I was one of the boys." Fisher is an active member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity where he serves as pledge educator. He's an official for WCU Intramurals. Since seventh grade he has worked actively with the methodist church. In the eighth grade he served, along with his family, as missionaries to the Carribean country of Haiti. Sincethenhehas served on local missions and worked actively with methodist youth of western North Carolina. Last summer he triad the privilege of attending the 15th World Methodist Conference in Nairobi, Kenya. In addition to Haiti and (Edwin Carlton Photo) Kenya, his travels have taken him to Greece, Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia. "Having been to all these places and seen all the sights and experiencing an African Safari, by far my favorite place in the world is the Rocky Mountains of Colorado." Fisher enjoys playing Raquetball, Golf, Cards, and all kinds of sports. His favorite hobbies include pottery, listening to music, partying, and traveling. Fisher's future plans include running for an executive staff position other than the member- at-large position he now holds. When he graduates he plans to work in radio for a while. Then he wants to work for a while in television as as reporter or anchor. "I would also like to try my hand in the music industry as a producer or be a vee-jay on MTV. Television advertising is also on my list of jobs that I would like to try. But my one obsession is with flying. I would love any job that had to do with flying or commercial aviation. My secret dream is to someday become a commercial pilot." Steve Fisher, a.k.a. The Roundman, if one will pardon the corny pun, is a very well-rounded character in all areas of his life. Think You Have the Talent to Write Comedy? College students seeking careers in Hollywood inevitably ask, "How do I get my foot in the door?" Comedian/actor Jimmie Walker, who sprang to national prominence when he portrayed the wisecracking "JJ." on the "Good Times" series, wants to give a break to college writers who think they know how to write jokes for stand-up comedy. Walker, who will soon be seen in the feature film release "My African Adventure", and will also star in his own TV series, "Bustin' Loose" this fall, began his career writing jokes for other comics. Now he is soliciting material from student joke-writers. If Walker uses the material, he will pay the writers. A less tangible, but probably more consequential, reward will be that the writers will have established comedy writing credits with a comedy/TV/film personality - which can only be of benefit to the students in their efforts to get started in Hollywood. Any student wishing to submit material to Walker should send it to his Hollywood office which is located at 9000 Sunset Blvd., Suite 400, Los Angeles, CA 90069. Students should also make sure to enclose their name, address, and phone number, so that Walker can locate them in the event that he is interested in their material.
