approved a $1 mil­lion
loan for college
housing this week.
The money, which is to be used to
finance 96 additional units in the Forest
Hills apartments for married students, was
applied for in March by the Board of
Trustees. The existing project contains 240
units and there is usually a waiting list for
students requesting housing.
If all goes according to planned, the
bonds should be approved and then
offered for sale. The new apartments are
expected to be ready for occupancy by fall
of 1965.
Earlier this year, the same federal organi­zation
approved a $1.2 million loan for the
construction of three additional women's
dormitories.

Group deals with race issue
by Kelly Beasley
Copy Editor
The issue of racial and ethnic diversi­ty
is one which every community must
deal with, and Auburn is no exception.
Meeting this challenge, a group of
community leaders and concerned citi­zens
formed the Race Relations
Committee.
The Committee, led by Mike
Halperin and Willie Larkin, was
formed to address and discuss issues
concerning the diversity in Auburn
West says
it's time
for change
by Lorl Poole
Plainsman Staff Writer
Representation is what supporters
say Wanda West is all about. And now
she is running for mayor of Auburn in
hopes to represent those living here.
"The office of mayor belongs to the
people, and they should have a voice,"
says West. "The position is for the peo­ple,
and the mayor should serve and
represent the people of the city."
Before moving to Auburn 10 years
ago. West was a psychologist for juve­nile
delinquents
in the Decatur
City School sys­tem
and
Morgan County
Courts in
Alabama. She
graduated from
Athens State
College with a
degree in sec­ondary
educa­tion
and
and how race relations can be
improved.
"A group of citizens came to Mayor
Dempsey and told her about their
meetings," City Manager Doug Watson
said. "They asked for an official sanc­tion,
and the mayor responded."
Wendy Schultz, a staff member of
the committee, said that the group
hopes to bring out the sensitive issues
involved in race relations today.
"I think the main function of the
committee is to openly discuss issues
of diversity," Schultz said.
"A different topic will be discussed
WEST
received a masters from the University
of Alabama at Birmingham.
West is most notably known by stu­dents
as "Mom" of Mom's Party
Shoppe on West Magnolia. She also
serves as resident advisor of Theta Chi
fraternity.
"I believe there is a need for a
change, and it is time for a change,"
says West. "I would like to see more
unity within the community and the
city government and within the
University and city government"
West says she wants to work to
streamline city government and cut
excessive spending. She also would
like to see increased funding for the
Auburn city police and fire depart­ments.
"My goal is to carefully monitor our

at each meeting, topics that citizens are
concerned about."
Mayor Dempsey agrees that the
committee should have a positive
effect on the community.
"I think the thing we want to do is
celebrate the diversity within our com­munity,"
Dempsey said.
"We want this to be a time for people
to express their concerns openly and
gain a better understanding of one
another."
Dempsey said that although she has
been present at the meetings in the
past, she plans to have more of a
"hands-off" approach.
"I want this committee to feel free to
discuss issues together without the
mayor sitting across the room.
Sometimes that can hinder someone
from expressing their views."
Although the committee was only
recognized in May, many leaders in the
community have been pushing for a
forum like this for a while.
In May, the Rev. George Mathison,
pastor of Auburn Methodist Church
expressed this hopes and concerns for

Fund established in student's name
Project Uplift creates clothing program to aid needy children
by Ashley Wright
News Editor
A fund to buy clothing for needy
children has been established in the
name of a recent Auburn graduate.
Karen Benning, who graduated in
the spring of 1993 with a marketing
degree, was brutally murdered last
September in Savannah, Ga.
While a student at Auburn, Benning
was a devoted volunteer for Project
Uplift, a program that brings adult vol­unteers
together with children in the
community to be friends and role
models.
Tom Westmoreland and Liane
Davenport, volunteer coordinators
with Project Uplift, remember
Benning's involvement.
"Karen was a volunteer with us for
three years—from 1990 to 1993,"
Westmoreland said. During that time,
Benning was with one child, Kendra,
he said.
"They developed a real close rela­tionship
with each other, almost a fam­ily.
In fact, Karen involved Kendra in a
lot in her own family life. She would
take her to her home on several occa­sions.
She really was considered a part
of the family," Westmoreland said.
"She was always very friendly and
happy, really full of life," Davenport
said. "You could tell how special she
was just by Kendra. Kendra was
always happy to be around her."
Benning's family could also see how
special Kendra was to Benning, accord­ing
to Westmoreland. Instead of send­ing
flowers to the funeral, the family
asked that people make donations to
Project Uplift. The family then asked
Project Uplift
coordinators to
come up with
ideas on how to
spend the money,
he said.
"We came up
with ideas, and
two were settled
o n , "
Westmoreland
said. "One, there
B E N N I N G would be some
of the money set
aside for Kendra to go to college or
some other higher education. And two,
money would be set aside to buy chil­dren
in our program, including
Kendra, school clothes."

Computer web weaves access to information superhighway
by David Lazenby
Assistant News Editor
Imagine if you will, a web that cov­ered
the entire planet.
No, if s not the plot of a B—horror
film, but "world-wide web" is a
metaphor used to describe Internet, the
vast network of computer systems that
may be a stepping stone to the "infor­mation
superhighway."
Stuart Street, an Auburn graduate in
management information systems and
Internet enthusiast, said he likes the
metaphor of a web better than the
superhighway metaphor.
"Each silk strand is an access point
to this awesome network of informa­tion,"
Street said.
Street also said a silk strand is con­nected
to Auburn.
"No matter what curriculum you're
in, you can get access to an Internet
account through the University," Street
said.
However, Street said he believes the
administration at Auburn doesn't want
the free service advertised. "They don't
want a ton of people getting accounts,"
Street said.
Although the service is free to stu­dents,
Street said, "It's pretty damn
expensive if you're not a student."
Street said a fellow Auburn graduate
in management information systems,
Rick Wessen, not only wrote a book

New formula reveals your home's roach appeal
Roaches. It seems every home and
yard has them, but some homesites are
more blessed with their presence than
others.
A pair of entomologists in the College
of Agriculture have come up with a for­mula
that—while somewhat complicat­ed—
can be used by pest management
professionals or the average homeowner
in central Alabama to determine a
home's appeal to cockroaches.
"We'll call it a property's roachiness
appeal," said associate professor Arthur
Appel, who worked with postdoctoral
researcher Lane Smith to develop the
mathematical model upon which the for­mula
is based.
Variables in the formula include the
age of the house, number of objects in
the lot (dog houses, wood piles, tool
sheds, etc.), number of pets, number of
residents, the area of the house and
number of hardwood and pine trees.
According to Appel, no single variable
in the formula is more important than
any other.

Minority teens on campus for SummerTech program
The department of management will
again host SummerTech, an annual
week-long program to introduce African-
American high school students from nine
southeastern states to careers in business
and technology.
Since 1988, when the program began,
171 seniors-to-be from Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississip­pi,
Tennessee and North and South Car­olina
have participated.
Although the program was expanded
last year to accommodate four students
from each state, only two from each state
will attend SummerTech '94 because of a
funding cut by BellSouth, the program's
sole sponsor until this year.
Another sponsor, U.S. Sprint Commu­nications
Co., has now come on board,
and multiple sponsors may be funding
the program in the future.

County sheriff's department seizes marijuana
Sunday the Lee County Sheriff Depart­ment
seized marijuana plants with a
potential value of $4.8 million, making it
the largest amount found on one plot.
No arrests have been made, but the
case remains under investigation.
Capt. Jay Jones said the department
acted on information received about a
possible location of a plot of marijuana
plants being grown in Salem/Bleecker
area.
Deputies seized 2,421 plants ranging
from 6 inches to 8 feet tall, Jones said.
"Some were very healthy plants."

Students, area residents join to help flood victims
On Saturday 6 a.m., local volunteers
gathered in the Opelika Kroger parking
lot to begin their trip toward Geneva.
Just before 11 a.m., they pulled into
town bearing food, cleaning supplies,
mattresses, lumber, baby products, pet
food and other supplies.
The volunteers, area residents and
Auburn students, spent hours unloading
the supplies to a temporary Salvation
Army center before taking a brief lunch
break. They then cleaned up a flood-damaged
home.

INTERNET RACE
continued from Al
about Internet that Street edited, but
also found a job through the Internet.
Street respectfully referred to Wessen
as, "an Internet guru."
"He has a good job in Silicon Valley
that he found out about through the
Internet," Street said.
Street said Internet is a lot like the
LUIS system used at the Ralph Brown
Draughon Library, "except the infor­mation
available is not just in the
library," Street said.
Despite this massive amount of infor­mation,
Street said channels exist on
the Internet which allow people to easi­ly
find information they are interested
in.
However, some of the topics avail­able
on the Internet are undergoing
scrutiny by legislators who feel this
information should be controlled.
"There's a marijuana channel and all
kinds of perverted channels. I'm not
into that, but I think it's good that kind
of information is available because
that's free speech," Street said.
However, Street said he doesn't see
how this type of information can be
stopped.
Greg Schmidt, a graduate in market­ing,
said, "Some of the information in
the internet is so trivial that it doesn't
really apply to academia which is what
the Internet was set up for."
Students interested in getting an free
Internet account set up can do so by
presenting their student I.D. to the
Division of University Computing
which is located in the L building. For
additional information, call 844-4512.
continued from Al
the newly recognized committee.
"I think that this is exactly what this
community needs," Mathison said.
"Problems like the ones Auburn has, or
any community for that matter, can be
corrected through understanding each
other."
Mathison added he thought the hard­est
part is getting people to let go of ini­tial
prejudices and feel comfortable
around one another.
"Being open and honest about fears
and worries is hard for most people,"
he said.
"We want to get on a personal level
with one another. We want peace in
our community, and I pray that this
committee can help bring that about."
The optimism is high that this com­mittee
will be effective, or at least open
the lines for communication.
Dempsey said she feels the diversity
in the community can be positive, not
negative and that this committee can
concentrate on that fact.
Mathison agreed.
"I think that through diversity you
can learn a lot from others, and I hope
that this committee will prove that," he
said.
"We can all work together, leam how
each person feels about these issues
and then address them."
The committee's last meeting was
Tuesday, July 26 where the topic was
the school system in Auburn. Their
next meeting will be at the end of
August.
BENNING
continued from Al
The idea for the fund came from the
fact that Benning worked in the cloth­ing
industry. She was employed by J.B.
White in Savannah.
"So many of our families need
clothes. Karen was in the clothing
industry, and she was a beautiful
dresser. Clothing was important to
her," he said.
Project Uplift will begin using the
fund this fall by purchasing clothes for
three children in the program.
"We're starting out small this year,"
Westmoreland said. "Next year, I
expect it to be much larger. Our plan is
to spend out the fund in ten years."
The fund will receive a boost next
month when Gayfers, a sister store
with J.B. White, will have their "Sale
for Charity Event," where people can
purchase $5 tickets from local charities.
The $5 ticket allows the holder to
receive a 25 percent discount on regu­lar
priced items and a 15 percent dis­count
on all clearance merchandise
before the store opens, from 7 - 9:30
a.m., on Aug. 27.
In addition to the $5 per ticket sold,
Gayfers will donate $500 to be divided
among the charities.
'The charities that are participating
in this get to keep all the money to use
as they see fit," Davenport said. "We
are putting it into the Karen Benning
Fund, which ultimately will go back to
Gayfers."
Information about the Karen
Benning Fund and tickets for the chari­ty
sale can be obtained by calling
Project Uplift at 8444430.
WEST
continued from Al
tax payer's money. We have a lot of
money coming in, and people are con­cerned
about where if s going and what
it is being spent for," said West.
Another way West says she wants to
put Auburn's money to a better use is
by eliminating unnecessary positions in
the city government.
"Maybe there are some positions that
were created just for someone to have a
position. And if this is not in the best
interest of our citizens and our tax
payer's money being spent this way
then this needs to be looked into and
maybe something done about this,"
says West. "Maybe eliminate some
unnecessary positions and put our
money to a better use that all the citi­zens
can benefit from and not just one
person that we appoint."
West feels that the relationship
between the city and the University "is
probably a little below average ... and
could be much better. I feel that we are
not working together as we should. The
reason being that... the students are not
involved in any way in the city govern­ment
and do not have a voice in the city
government. Therefore our relations
could be better if they (the students)
could at least be heard."
West thinks this relationship can be
improved by having an appointed non­voting
student member on the Auburn
City Council. She would like to see a
council of students formed so they can
get involved.

Brown, Ham run unopposed for Council
lT-1 11'WiH
Name: Kenneth Brown
Seat seeking: Ward 4, Place 1
Occupation: Retired, former
district manger for Alabama
Power for 37 years.
Why do you seek this position?
Well, I'm running for re­election,
but the reason I ran is I
spent 37 years solving problems,
and I figure I'd solve some more.
What do you feel is the
relationship between the city of
Auburn and Auburn University?
It's very, very good. We run a
number of joint projects with the
University, not the least of which
has been the Technology Park.
Do you know any way that the
relationship can be improved?
I've never seen a relationship in

my life that couldn't be improved.
What are your plans and goals?
Well, this will be my second
term here, and I'll do anything
that I can to help the city. One of
my goals is to finish anything that
I didn't finish in first (term), like
getting sewer to people in
outlying areas. Also, industrial
development is very important to
me, as well as our schools.
—Mr. Brown is running unopposed
for the position. Interview conducted
by David Kesinger, Plainsman staff.
Name: Bill Ham, Jr.
Seat seeking: Ward 4, Place 2
Occupation: Owner, Varsity
Enterprises
Why do you seek this position?
I was born in Auburn, went to
Auburn schools and graduated
from Auburn. My dad was on the
City Council, and I guess I'm just
paying my dues by giving
something back to the
community.
What do you feel is the
relationship between the city of
Auburn and Auburn University?
I can see that it is strained at
times, but you have that with any
long-term relationship. I think
that on whole, though, it is a
good, working relationship.
How can this relationship be
improved?
We have just started a better
relations committee that involves
the Council and key members of
the faculty. I think this will help
with problems in the future.

What are your plans and goals?
In my first two terms we
addressed the new zoning laws
that concern growth and the
residents; I think that it has pretty
well been resolved. There are a
few infrastructure issues that I
would like to see taken care of,
such as sewers and the new
school to be built in my ward,
that sort of thing.

Habitat founder speaks to 4-H delegates
by David A. Kesinger
Plainsman Staff Writer
4-H'ers from around the state
converged on Auburn as the 1994
Alabama 4-H Congress kicked off
on Tuesday at the Auburn Hotel
and Conference Center.
On Tuesday, the conference
featured Millard Fuller, founder
of Habitat for Humanity and a
1957 Auburn alumnus, as the
keynote speaker. Auburn
President William Muse delivered
the welcome address to more than
550 kids, parents and faculty.
Shannon Stover, a spokesman
for the Alabama Cooperative
Extension Service, said the
conference will last three days
and consist of two main areas,
competition and service seminars.
The seminars, sponsored by the
Caldwell Foundation out of Tyler,
Tx., emphasize various methods
of learning from service. Also, the
4-H'ers will be involved in
community service work with
Lee-SCAN, United Way, the
Salvation Army and others.

Fuller believes people should
commit themselves to a goal in
life. "Commitment is the energy;
the electrical current that makes

Fuller has seen Habitat for

Shelton
H a w s e y ,
extension leader
for programs

described Fuller
as a man with a
Alumni Award and a check from
Alabama Power for Habitat for
Humanity.
Fuller, a self-made millionaire
at the age of 29, gave his fortune
to charity and founded the service
organization in 1976.
very positive outlook on life.
"With our focus on service to
others, we felt Mr. Fuller would
best exemplify our message," said
Hawsey.
Others scheduled to attend the
opening assembly included Ann
Thompson, Auburn vice president
for extension, Eric Motley, trustee
of the National 4-H council and
Alma Hogg, deputy administrator
for the U.S. Department of
Agriculture.
The conference will take place
throughout campus. Human
Sciences, Agriculture and
Veterinary Medicine will all play
a part in the programs. Activities
are also planned for the coliseum
parking lot with the Ham Wilson
Arena hosting the livestock
judging and competition.
4-H has more than 80,000
members in Alabama and more
than 5 million nationwide.
Hawsey said that activities like
this are important to the
University. "One-third of
Auburn's mission is extension,
and I think this conference helps
fulfill that mission. We are
helping people in need through
the leaders of tomorrow."

Local club loses its
power; many leave
by David Lazenby
Assistant News Editor
While the Dave Matthews Band
rocked the Locker Room last
Wednesday with its hit song,
'Tripping Billies," the transformer
tripped, causing the power to go
out and the music to cease.
Many of the 800 or more
frustrated patrons who paid $10
at the door left the club, not
knowing whether the band would
finish its set.
However, about 45 minutes
after the power shortage, an
Alabama Power Company
employee arrived and restored
power to the Locker Room.
Billy Miller, co-owner of the
Locker Room, said, "A lot of
people left prematurely." Miller
estimated that about 300 patrons
left the bar when the power went
out
"Three people called and asked
for a refund, but most people
didn't seem to be too upset (about
the incident)," Miller said.
However, some patrons were
obviously disappointed with the
show.
Tanya Holt, 02COM, said she
was studying at Gabby's
restaurant when a large group
came in from the show.
"A bunch of people came in and
their waitress said, 'Did ya'll go
see Dave Matthews?' and one of
the girls said, 'The power went
out and we only got to hear two
songs.'"
Holt said she's glad she did not
go to the show.
"If I'd paid $10 and only got to
hear two songs, I would have
been pissed off too," she said.
One Dave Matthews Band fan,
Julie Cole, an Auburn graduate
who lives in Huntsville, was
especially annoyed.
"I drove 200 miles to get here
and only got to hear five songs,"
Cole said.
Ken Mayer, a local rock
The Dave Matthews Band played after a delay.
promoter who put on the show
and the publisher of Worm Gear
Magazine, a monthly music
publication, criticized the power
company for the delay in fixing
the transformer.
"The fact it took them so long to
get out there (the Locker Room) is
ridiculous," Mayer said.
Mayer said the next day the
power company replaced the
transformer with a larger one
"Obviously, they (power
company) felt the situation was
partially their fault," Mayer said.
However, Mayer also said the
power needed to operate six
industrial-sized fans he rented
may have overloaded the
transmitter.
Miller said lightning mat struck
near the club that afternoon may
have been the cause of the power
shortage.
Mayer said he would like to
offer a discount to one of his
future shows to patrons from the
Dave Matthews Band show who
keep their ticket stub.
"I really felt bad for the people
who had tests the next day and
couldn't stay for the rest of the
show," Mayer said, adding, "I'm
not trying to screw people over."
New dressing for scrapes lets wound 'breathe'
The skin is the body's first
defense against germs; so if it has
a cut or abrasion, a doorway has
been opened for infection.
Most cuts and abrasions involve
the skin and underlying fatty
tissue. Some easy steps can be
taken to avoid complications.
First you need to determine if a
doctor visit is necessary. Ask the
following questions:
• Is the cut very deep, or is a
large area scraped?
• Is blood spurting from the
wound?
• The blood won't stop with
pressure?
• Did a dirty object cause the
wound (i.e, a nail, stones or dirt)?
• Are dirt or other objects
imbedded in the wound?
• Are there signs of infection
(redness, swelling, fever, pus or a
red streak)?
• Is your tetanus shot more
than five years old?
If the answer to any of the
above questions is yes, men
medical attention is needed.
Suturing or wound closure should
be performed within eight hours
of the injury.
If the answer to all of the above
questions is no, then home care
(involving cleansing and
dressing) would be appropriate.
The best thing to use to clean a
wound is warm water and soap.
After drying the wound, antibiotic
ointment such as Neosporin may
also be used. Then apply a
Bandage or Telfa dressing. Keep
the dressing dry, changing
immediately should it become
wet.
At Drake Student Health Center
we are using a new type of
dressing for bums and scrapes. It
is a moisture vapor permeable
dressing, also referred to as a
second skin dressing. If the
wound is cleaned this dressing
can be applied allowing oxygen in
and keeping dirt and germs out.
Second skin dressings promote
wound healing by allowing new
skin cells to fill in the wound
surface thus decreasing healing
time and decreasing scaring.
These dressings are also unique in
that they stay on for four to seven
days, and the wearer can even
take a shower with the dressing in
place.
These guidelines should help
you determine what care is
necessary. If there is a question
concerning your health you may
contact Drake Student Health
Center by calling 844-4416. Our
staff is always available to assist
you in assessing your health care
needs.

Discussions affect us all
Race Relations Committee positive,
but must allow access for everyone
I n May the city of Auburn
officially recognized the
formation of a Race
Relations Committee. The
Committee meets regularly to
discuss issues of diversity and race
relations in the community.
The Plainsman welcomes this
effort by community leaders to
bring forth understanding among
our citizens.
One of the primary goals of such
a committee must surely be the
fostering of a more open and
informed population.
In order for the community to be
most effectively served by such a
committee, the citizens must be
allowed to follow the committee's
activities and decisions. After all,
these decisions will surely affect
most everyone living in the area.
If the committee's purpose is
indeed to promote a more open
climate among the citizens of
Auburn, then every citizen should
be allowed to participate.
Many, if not all, of the issues
being discussed by the members of
the Committee are also issues
which directly concern the student
population of Auburn. The
diversity of the community is
reflected by the diversity within the
University, which is only growing
each year. Discussions concerning
public diversity affect everyone,
both student and permanent
residents alike.
The Plainsman understands the
s e n s i t i v i t y of the issues being
d i s c u s s e d by the Committee.
However, the problems will never
be s o l v e d by hiding this forum
from public awareness or
discouraging media coverage.
The community must be made
aware that this Committee exists,
and must be able to monitor its
actions and decisions. As citizens
of the community, we deserve no
less.
Time for transit system
Local bus service may offer solution
to perpetual parking nightmare
S peaking of perpetual
problems on campus, one
that seems only destined
to worsen is the parking
problem.
As enrollment grows and
building on campus continues, the
gap between the number of cars
with parking permits and actual
parking spaces continues to widen.
A possible solution to the
problem could be the
implementation of a campus and
community transit system.
Such a system would be on a
larger scale of the LETA shuttles,
and would be partially oriented
toward delivering students to and
from apartments and campus.
Auburn Mayor Jan Dempsey
says she has long favored the
establishment of a community
transit system, but in past years
the idea was opposed by certain
officials of the University.
Now the idea is being considered
again, with the federal
government paying 80 percent of
the initial cost and the city paying
the remaining 20 percent.
If such an arrangement is indeed
possible, the Plainsman fully
supports the idea. The system
would apparently not cost the
University a cent, but would
provide enormous benefit to
students. Traffic on and around
campus would also be reduced by
a successful transit system.
The only question would be if
students would actually make use
of such a system. The next logical
step would seem to be a study to
determine the answer to that
question.
Auburn's info on-ramp
needs more publicity
There is an on-ramp leading
to the Information
Superhighway right here
in Auburn.
It's called the Internet. It is free
of cost, and it is accessible through
the University's several computer
labs located in various buildings
across campus.
The Internet offers access to a
wealth of services and information.
In the Information Age, especially
for college students seeking every
competitive advantage in a
challenging world, it is an
incredibly valuable resource.
If you haven't heard of the
Internet, or know little about its
operation, it's probably because the
University does little to publicize it.
The Plainsman believes the
University should endeavor to
spread the word about Internet,
and a class or two about its proper
use would be a welcome addition
to the schedule as well.
French have tough Cup act to follow
Well, the World Cup is over, and
several global misconceptions have been
laid to rest. The United States has proven
that not only can it field a competitive
team, a team that surely belonged in the
tournament, but also that the good
citizens of this country will fork over the
money and actually attend the games. In
fact, many have called the latest World
Cup the best ever. Imagine that, in a
country the experts said would never
embrace the sport of soccer.
This Cup was filled with drama and
excitement. Romania's flashy forwards,
Mexico's garish goalkeeper, Argentina's
promise and ultimate collapse,
Germany's failure and Bulgaria's run to
glory. And of course America's
momentous triumph over Colombia.
What a tournament we had.
Speaking of the American team's
strong showing in the World Cup, I have
to wonder about the current attitude in
Berlin, Brasilia, Rome and other soccer
capitals. I imagine the United States
becoming a global soccer power is one of
those things the rest of the world always
spoke in favor of simply because it
seemed it would never actually
happen—sort of like German
reunification.
Looking back now, I think the U.S.
team was about as good as Sweden, and
could have made the quarterfinals or
even the semis. As this Cup proved, you
don't need a lot of offense to win, just a
tough defense and one guy who can put
it in the back of the net at the crucial
moment
IB
Van Plexico
The living embodiment of that ability
at USA '94 was Roberto Baggio of Italy.
Months before the tournament, he told
reporters, "Every day growing up I had
this dream about the World Cup. I score
the winning goal. In the final minute.
With my butt." I was there in Boston
when he scored in the final minute (with
his foot) to send the game with Nigeria to
overtime, and then scored again to win.
His Italian national team was, for me at
least, the most entertaining aspect of the
Cup. Sure I wanted the United States to
win, but as every Atlanta Falcons fan
knows, you have to be realistic when the
talk turns to championships.
What a great run the Italians put on.
The cardiac kids of the Cup reminded me
of some of my favorite Auburn football
squads, appearing to be down for the
count time and again, only to somehow
pull a remarkable comeback at the last
instant
In the end, though, the Italians came
up one miracle short. How tragic for
Roberto Baggio. He battled constant
injuries and fouls, carried his team on his
back to the final game, and now will be
remembered for sending the last penalty
kick over the goal. (Maybe he should have
used his butt). Never mind that the first
kick was missed too, or that Brazil would
have gotten another kick to win had
Baggio's shot scored. Never mind that
the "Azzurri" were really lucky to be
there at all, coming so very close to
surrendering goal after goal during
regulation play.
In the final analysis, the Italians were
too injured and too tired to be able to
pull off the miraculous upset. They have
nothing to be ashamed of, though.
Surviving the "Group of Death," they
gave us a great run, a month of highs and
lows, and more entertainment than most
of the other teams put together.
The United States staged a great
tournament, and the French have a heck
of an act to follow. France '98 is only four
years away now, and if s never too soon
to prepare. You know, brush up on the
ol' Francais, go to restaurants with
obnoxious waiters, that sort of thing.
Hey, the food might be better in Paris,
but there is no way they'll put on a better
show than America did. Besides, the
French team didn't even make it to this
year's Cup. I'm not sure, but I think they
surrendered to the German team prior to
the tournament
Four more years to wait. Well, go
U.S.A.! Forza Italia! And see you in
France.

Give schools cash, criminals caning
It seems like every time I turn on the
television or pick up a newspaper,
another murder has been committed,
another store has been robbed.
In Alabama alone there were
approximately 19,098 prisoners at the
end of June. And supporting just one of
those for merely one day costs the state
more than $9,000.
Because of the exorbitant cost of
housing criminals, school systems are
constantly losing funding and law-abiding
citizens are seeing a continual
increase in then- taxes.
And by taking money away from
education causing the level of learning to
decrease more each year, the government
is simply breeding more criminals. If a
child is deprived of knowledge and self-respect
in school, what else besides a life
of crime does he have to turn to?
The ceiling in my high school leaked
and most of the desks were broken, yet
only two years after I graduated a new
jail was built for the criminals of Etowah
County. Where are our priorities when
instead of helping our children learn, we
help murderers, rapists and burglars live
a bit more comfortably with fluffier
pillows and new galvanized steel bars?
Catherine Roberts
I understand that America is the land
of opportunity and the land of the free,
but why does that only seem to apply to
those who disobey the laws? Don't the
children of this country deserve the same
rights?
The highly controversial caning in
Singapore is a perfect example of a
country with at least a partial solution to
their crime problem — scare those
denied the proper morals and education
to know crime doesn't pay into
obedience. And their low crime rate is
evidence that it works. It may seem a
harsh solution, but crime itself is harsh.
In fact, I truly believe that those who
cried out for the young vandal to be
spared wouldn't be so forgiving if it had
been their cars he spray painted.
I think everyone has the right to a fair
trial, but I believe if American
government would enforce stricter laws
against criminals, our schools would not
be slowly falling apart while
improvements are being made to county
jails across the state.
If the laws for committing criminal acts
were a bit more intimidating, people
would think twice before robbing the
local 24-hour quick mart. Now, things
such as parole and a shortened sentence
because of good behavior encourage
people to disobey the laws. And why
not? They'll be out of jail in a few months
and go out right back out there and do
the same, or worse, again.
This three strikes you're out stuff is
ridiculous. How about one strike you're
out? If a person is capable of kidnapping
once, why aren't they capable of doing it
again and again and again?
But if the government implemented
stronger laws there would be no again
and again and again because most
people would 'be leary of the
consequences.

Bill Clinton: Man, myth or eyesore
& *
I'm not one to say T told you so' but I
think as the number of 'Don't Blame
Me...I Voted For Bush' bumper stickers
indicates, Bill Clinton's approval ratings
are as saggy as those pasty white thighs.
I mink if s more than a little ironic that
there are people out there who still refer
to 'President Bush' and 'Bill Clinton.' If s
as if Americans don't think he's worthy
of that title. Can you honestly compare
him to Abe Lincoln, George Washington
and Richard Nixon? (O.K., that last one
may be iffy, but Nixon was a personal
hero of mine.)
Now that we know what
Clintonomics(if I may coin a phrase) is
all about, I don't think anybody should
be surprised at his turnarounds and
waffling on key domestic issues.
Lef s take a look at some of the real
whoppers:
The White House and Whitewater
This Never-Ending Story is still
picking up momentum, like a snowball
rolling down the hillside. It seems that as
every day goes by, another little tidbit
relating to the case surfaces, warranting a
two-inch story on page 26 of your local
paper. Did you ever ask yourself what
the heck happened to all this evidence?
You know probably better than most
David A. Kesinger
congressmen.
Special Counsel Robert Fiske is
still investigating, and it now includes
the House Bank and Post Office scandals,
late-night break-ins, Mrs. Clinton's
financial deals and, of course,
blackmailing federal regulators into
taking it easy on Madison Guaranty, his
friend's bank. The sheer length and
breadth of it all suggests at least some
wrongdoing by somebody. Clinton has
some top lawyers working for him
though...
Why don't we just ask the Clintons' (I
must use the plural here and I think you
know why) legal staffers what's going
on? Oh, that's right. He committed
suicide, saying he couldn't take all of the
corruption going on behind closed doors.
But thaf s another story altogether.
Oh, well. Maybe Bill will call a press
conference and just tell us the truth for
once.
And maybe Elvis will show up too.
What ClintonCare really means to you
After all the political cronyism going
on now with the health-care debate, I
really wonder if anything meaningful
will come of it. With over 80 percent
popular support, health-care reform
should have breezed through Congress.
If s just that Americans are not willing to
sacrifice as much freedom as Clinton's
plan demands.
Voters in California, Sweden, France
and Canada have all recently turned
down government-run health programs.
Why?
Because the people are fed-up with
low quality care and paying out the nose
for it.
No matter what your opinion, though,
don't believe all that you see on TV or
read in the papers (or hear from the
Presidenfs mouth). Decide for yourself.
Form your own opinion.
Thaf s what both Clintons are afraid of.

H*)*X.Mtt>tA-9etUM££3r- Eagles classy and enjoyable,
not Vashed-up has-beens'
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am writing in response to Mr. Lazenby's article in
the July 21 issue of The Plainsman. Mr. Lazenby
reported incorrect information concerning the price
of the Eagles tickets. I attended the July 19 show at
the Omni in Atlanta. The ticket costs for that show
were as follows: the floor tickets cost $100, the lower
deck cost $75, the upper deck cost $55 and the "nose­bleed
section" cost $35.
I do agree with Mr. Lazenby that these prices were
higher than the average concert prices; however, I
disagree with his judgment of the value of the con­cert
not having seen it himself. I can attest to the
quality of the show. There were no opening bands.
The Eagles started promptly at 8:25p.m. and played
until 11:35p.m., taking one 10- minute break. Mr.
Lazenby, that is three hours of solid awesome music
There was not an empty seat in the Omni, and the
audience ranged in all different age groups. The con­cert
was a classy, enjoyable experience. I was offend­ed
by your calling the Eagles washed-up has-beens,
and I certainly don't believe anyone left with a
heartache over the cost. In fact, based on the excite­ment
of the crowd, I would say it was money well
spent.
Also, Mr. Lazenby did you know that as a result of
the Eagles concert and a local radio station, $140,000
was raised for the flood victims of Georgia. So in the
words of the Eagles newest song, "Get over it," Mr.
Lazenby.
POMT tmie gpwA.uHe's GOTA CHILE REILENO POINTS AT (is,
Columnist wrong concerning concert ticket prices
Susan Greene
Class of '94
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am writing in response to
David Lazenby's recent article
bashing "geriatric rock" and high
ticket prices ("Woodstock '94: rip-off
of summer") in the July 21
issue of The Plainsman.
In the past several years I have
seen Robert Plant, Pink Floyd,
Paul Simon, The Allman Brothers,
James Taylor and, most recently,
the Eagles perform live. These
shows give those of us who were
not fortunate enough to have
grown up with this music a
chance to see some truly leg­endary
performers.
This "geriatric rock," as Mr.
Lazenby calls it, gives music
lovers an alternative to the con­stant
stream of copy-cat bands
flowing from the Seattle area
which have been touring the
nation for the last few years.
It is true that these "senior citi­zen
bands" often carry with them
higher ticket prices, but I feel that
a good show is worth the price,
especially in such cases as the
recent Eagles reunion tour.
I saw the Eagles at the Omni
this past weekend (July 17).
According to Mr. Lazenby's arti­cle,
this show "sold out months
before the concert," and "all seats,
even those in the nosebleed sec­tion,
were at least $100." Perhaps
a little more research should have
been put into this portion of his
article because I purchased a $100
floor seat 30 rows from the stage
at the Omni (none of which were
sold out when I ordered tickets on
Thursday). Tickets began at $35,
with $50, $75, and $100 tickets
also available.
After complaining about these
"outrageous prices" of "at least
$100," Mr. Lazenby then proceeds
to critique the actual concert say­ing
that those who attend will feel
badly "when they realize how
badly they were ripped off." He
obviously was not present when
the first notes of "Hotel
California" were played, and the
crowd erupted or when the same
crowd sang along with Don
Henley on "Desperado."
Glenn Frey, Don Felder,
Timothy B. Schmit, Don Henley,
and Joe Walsh may no longer be
your typical young sex, drugs and
rock and rollers, but I heard no
complaints that night as a satis­fied
crowd left the Omni after the
three hour show.
Regarding Mr. Lazenby's com­plaint
of the $125 two-day pass
for Woodstock '94, I know few
music lovers who wouldn't pay
this amount to see Bob Dylan,
Metallica, The Cranberries, The
Allman Brothers, Smashing
Pumpkins and Crosby, Stills, and
Nash (along with several others
scheduled to appear) all together
at one show.
If Mr. Lazenby claims to
"believe in capitalism" then per­haps
he should understand that
these "outrageous prices" are
being paid by those of us who
enjoy a good concert, and are
willing to pay the extra money to
see it. This is simple supply and
demand in action and as long as
the music industry continues to
supply quality shows, the
demand will be there for tickets.
The days of the '70s $10 Eagles
ticket has died, and along with it
died bell bottoms and leisure suits
and I feel that this alone is worth
the extra money you pay now.

Achieve 'no fear' status
to find meaning of life
Editor, The Plainsman:
Some things are hard in life.
Other things are harder. An exam­ple
of one of these challenges in
life is not knowing where you are
going.
A few months ago I went down
to Panama City Beach and
attained the "NO FEAR" status.
Some of the things required are
that you get a short haircut (tail
optional), get some high top
Reeboks (preferably from the
mid-'80s), get some dice on the
rear-view, leam to have a bad atti­tude
while walking around
threatening to punish some punks
and the final requirement, tinted
windows.
When you receive your "No
Fear" status you feel pride like
you have never felt before, and
you enjoy this celebration for at
least an hour and a half until the
grand Poo-Pah of "No Fear"
informs you of the next status of
life. The "Bad Boy Club."
Now the requirements for the
"Bad Boy Club" are a little more
financially centralized, but my
parents keep sending the money.
So what if I don't have a phone,
no use of air-conditioner, all my
class books are from the library, I
pawned all my jewelry and my
girlfriend's jewelry except for my
earrings and my gold chain and
have no food except for my Tiger
Club Account. A few months back
on rent, of course no water or
power (thank the lord for fraterni­ty
house showers at 5a.m.), and
all of my Yanni and Zamphir CDs
have been sold to Wildman
Steve's. As of now, my income
relies mostly on keg and tap steal­ing
and reselling them back to
A&P.
But all of these sacrifices are
worth it.
Soon I will have the little buzz-cut
guy with the big biceps right
in my rear view, but I'm not sure
of what's next. There doesn't
seem to be another step. I don't
mind living in poverty as long as
my Chevy gets the girlies. Maybe
there is another step past the "Bad
Boy Club" that I will have to
invent. Possibly the "Order of the
Human Gods."
I'll just have to remain content
for now. Fraternity rush is coming
up in a few weeks, and I could tell
them I'm really interested. They
could feed me and drink me for a
week or two. So, as before, I will
be a lost college student who
doesn't know his future in life like
the rest of my fellow students.

No nukes
in outfield
at Auburn
Editor, The Plainsman:
This letter is in response to
your column in the July 21, 1994
edition of the Auburn Plainsman.
As a journalist, you should rec­ognize
that one of your primary
duties is to report facts accurate­ly.
You have failed to do this in
your column.
You refer to the wall that Baird
wants to build in left field to hide
"Auburn's very own nuclear
power plant." For information,
Auburn does not have a nuclear
power plant. The building to
which Baird was referring to is
an electric sub-station, which is a
steam plant, not a nuclear power
plant. Perhaps you are confused
by the fact that the Nuclear
Science Center is just up the hill
from the steam plant, but the
NSC is not a nuclear power plant
either.
Ignorance about nuclear power
creates fear about nuclear power.
Most likely, your inaccurate
reporting has stirred up the fears
of some people. You should run
an erratum and let people know
that Auburn does not, in fact,
have a nuclear power plant.

Construction crew offers novel solution to O.J. problem
Editor, The Plainsman:
While making my usual Monday morning
pilgrimage to the War Eagle (ifs omelette
day), I passed some of our gallant construc­tion
workers who had taken a break from the
task of making our buildings safer and happi­er
places. They were engaged in a most
remarkable conversation about our favorite
tailback, O.J. Usually I would not lower my
standards to pass on bits and pieces of eaves­dropped
knowledge, but this method is the
one of choice in Los Angeles so I too will be
on the cutting edge of reporting.
A suggestion was made by whom I will
refer to as my "confidential source" that there
is a simple, expedient and economical way to
solve this little crisis. Orenthal (we're tight
like that) should be released immediately,
allowed to see his children and mom, of
course, and then be assassinated. Shwing!!!
Pretty good huh? No trial, no hung jury, no
Brokaw, Rather, or Jennings (sorry CNN). We
could take the money saved on the trial to
cover the riot. We would get another week of
coverage to handle the funeral. While we're at
it, let's get Hard Copy to do a sordid little
story on the funeral director. We have endless
possibilities. I think the best solution is to
have an event similar to the one in Spain with
that evil bull. We will have a pay-per-view
event hosted by Jim Brown where we let O.J.
loose in the rose bowl (after the parade of
course) and let all the fans take a shot at him.
The winner gets invited to the funeral (they
get to sit by Shapiro), a trip to Disney World
and a leading role in the made for T.V. movie
"Why I killed O.J." You think they can get
Prince to do the soundtrack?

Japanese students study English
Students overcome
fears, are eager
to learn language
by Thomas Moore
Plainsman Staff Writer
The land of the rising sun has made
another visit to the Plains. The students
are taking part in English as a second
language program being offered
exclusively for them.
The 15 students have come from
Auburn's sister college Nihon Daigaku,
Japan's largest university located in
Tokyo with more than 80,000 students.
This program marks the second time
the students from Nihon have visited
Auburn, but the first time for the
program to be solely done by Auburn,
William Flick, director of the ESL
program, said.
Last summer the instructors were
brought to Auburn from Georgia State
University. "Last year's program was a
great success, but we are very pleased to
have the entire arrangement done by
Auburn University this year," Flick said.
"We have five teachers from the
Auburn English department conducting
the program this year," Hick said.
The new program has not only
brought changes with the instructors,
but also with the students.
This year the students are all business
majors with a majority having their
concentration in economics. Last year's
program had students from forestry,
English literature, graduate level as well
as economics.
Another change is the instructors will
not be housed in the dormitory with the
students. "All of the teachers are from
the Auburn area, and so they have
homes and families to go to every
night," Flick said.
To help the Japanese students become
familiar with American lifestyle, the
students from Nihon have been given
American suite-mates in their dormitory.
"There is also an American at the dorm
who speaks Japanese,"
Rick said.
Tadashi Sasaki, a
Nihon student, said he
is glad he came to
Auburn to learn
English, and he hopes
his speaking and
listening skills will
improve during the S H ^ H S H I S I
course of the program.
Because of recent incidences of
violence against Japanese students in the
United States, many of the students said
they took careful consideration in
choosing Auburn for its safety.
Genki Kawai, a freshman at Nihon,
said, "Sometimes I was scared (to come
to America), especially last year when
the Japanese student was killed by a
gun. But, I heard that the southern part
of America is very safe."
Naoki Shiriao, a sophomore at Nihon,
agreed about the danger America
sometimes imposes on its visitors. Yet,
Shiriao said he came to Auburn with the
feeling of it being a safe place as
compared to other areas in America.
5?
"Sometimes I was scared
(to come to America)."
— Genki Kawai
Visiting student
Shiriao begins the program after only
studying English for one year compared
to the six to eight years of English study
his classmates have experienced.
"I like America, and I wanted to learn
English to feel good about myself,"
Shiriao said. "I hope to become better at
hearing and speaking English, and learn
more English words."
Kimino Nakano, one of only three
females in the program, said that the low
percentage of women in the program
does not discourage her. "I came to
Auburn to learn English, and it does
not bother me that
1 there are few girls
here."
H i s a n o r i
Ogasahara said he
came to America not
only to study English,
but to make friends
^ B ^ B K B with Americans.
A s s i s t a n t
program administrator C.J. Swartz-
Schreibman said there will be times
made available for Americans to meet
and mingle with the Japanese students.
"Monday and Tuesday evenings from
7 to 8:30 the students will watch rented
movies in the Dobbs Dormitory lounge.
This would be a good time for
conversation with Auburn students,"
she said.
Also Wednesday nights after 8 and
during the day on Sundays are
convenient, Swartz-Schreibman said.
Auburn students interested in becoming
involved in the Nihon Daigaku program
can call Swartz-Schreibman at the Center
for International Commerce (844-2352).
Space race commemorated
by David A. Kesinger
Plainsman Staff Writer
It has been 25 years since the space shot
that put Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and
Mike Collins on the moon in the summer
of 1969, and Auburn is remembering the
event with a two-day retrospective
seminar at the Auburn University Hotel
and Conference Center.
Jim Hansen, chairman of the project,
says that the University has given him the
green light to hold a forum featuring
several prominent speakers. The
conference is scheduled for Oct. 27-28.
As of this week, the following people
have confirmed their attendance for the
first day: Roger Launias, aerospace
historian with the NASA History Office,
NASA headquarters; Andrew Dunar,
history faculty, University of Alabama-
Huntsville, who will be discussing the
space program and civil rights; Tom
Crouch with the National Air and Space
Museum and Peter Gorin, a former Soviet
citizen and a space race expert.
Discussion on the first day will focus on
the history and experiences of early space
exploration and especially on the Apollo
program. Mike Collins, commander of the
Apollo 11 mission, is tentatively
scheduled to speak on his experience of
the first mission to the moon.
Hansen says the focus will be directed
at all aspects of the program, not just the
astronauts.
"Auburn has had six astronauts; I'm
not sure if that's the most from any
college, but we're not going to make that
the only item on the agenda," Hansen
said.
"We're proud of our astronauts, but we
need to realize that there were a lot of
other players. Engineers who built the
Saturn V rocket, technicians who staffed
mission control in Houston, and many
others had a very big role in the success of
the project," Hansen said.
Continuing NASA's early successes
and the status of the program today will
be the focus of the second day's meetings.
Attendees for the second day are: Tim
Newell, U.S. Office of Science and
Technology Policy; Earl VanLandingham,
director of advanced propulsion, Office of
Advanced Concepts and Technology and
Ernest Messerschmid, a former German
astronaut and current director of Institut
fur Raumfahrstsysteme in Stuttgart,
Germany.
The scheduled special guest speaker for
the second day is Daniel Goldin, the
current NASA director.
Formats for the talks will include
lectures, roundtable discussions and
mediated talks with interaction from the
audience.
"We're even going to have a laser-disc
showing of "2001: A Space Odyssey,"
Hansen said. "While there will be a
number of historical and scientific
presentations, I want the students to
know that this is for them, too. I think
that the students and faculty will be very
interested in the symposium, considering
the magnitude of the guests scheduled to
speak," Hansen said.
He said he expects all five living
Auburn astronauts to appear and three
Auburn NASA administrators.
"There will be a special focus on
Auburn's contribution to the space race,
as well as guests from other areas,"
Hansen said.

Local graffiti artist's paint town
red . . . blue . . . green . . . yellow . ..
by Gaven Meadows
Plainsman Staff Writer
Wearing a twisted smile, a man in a
red coat and a black top hat tipped
precariously shows off the name of the
club he works for and points the way
inside. No need to worry about this guy,
his smile never changes. It is painted on
the wall outside the door to the Ultrabox.
Beyond the man in red and the name
of the club, a bomb burns at its wick, and
an exploding wall gives "shouts to" people
who work at the club, known on the wall
just as the Ubox. A girl in a green dress
holding a smoking gun sits astride her
artist's tag, SCANDAL, which is topped by
a golden crown.
Anyone who has mulled outside the
dance club located off Magnolia Avenue
waiting in line on a busy weekend
night, knows these familiar shapes
and the similar graffiti which runs
the length of the building.
The imagination responsible for
creating most of the artwork spray-painted
outside and inside the
Ubox is that of recent Auburn
graduate Christopher "SCANDAL"
Solomon.
" I t ' s kind of addicting," the
I graffiti artist said of his work.
Solomon is not alone, however,
in creating the graphic images that
now decorate the Ubox. His former
roommate, Brad Sasser, made his
debut as an artist at the night spot,
adding his tag, ENSANE, to Solomon's
mural.
Sasser, a student at Southern Union,
credited Solomon along with a "wall of fame" he
saw in Birmingham for the inspiration to begin
.vriting on walls.
"I've always had an artistic side to me," he said,
adding that graffiti simply provided another level.
But can it be argued that graffiti is a true art
form? To the writers, that's not even an argument.
"I'd definitely call it art," said Solomon. "A lot of
people won't, but I don't see how you can't see it as
art.
Though
many people
view the work
of these two artists
as vandalism,
Solomon and
Sasser, who also
design flyers for
the club, were actually
hired to add color to both
its inner
and outer walls.
"Graffiti is a tool to be heard," Solomon said. "It's a
way for people who wouldn't normally be heard to get
heard."
'And me'-message graffiti has to give comes to Auburn
through a local writing crew that Solomon and Sasser
have formed.
Though the mention of such crews often brings a
negative connotation, Sasser stressed the local group is
not gang-related, but simply a club of friends with a
common interest.
"People think that if it's graffiti, then it has to be gang
related and carry a negative message," Solomon said,
adding that many people simply do not understand the
symbol language used in each piece.
"That's how graffiti gets the gang connotation,"
Solomon continued.
Yet, he said for many people, gang
related or not, the graffiti culture seems
a bit out of place in Auburn.
"One of the guys here was calling
out to California to get some tips
(for the spray cans)," Solomon
said. "He told them he was from
Alabama, and they started
laughing at him and asked,
'What do you spray on, barns and
carriages or what out there?'"
But, he insisted "there's a few
more people in Auburn than you
would think," that are into
the graffiti and said
"Writers come
from all walks
of life."
S a s s e r
a d d e d ,
" W h e n
you get (a
piece) up
there, that's •
sharing it with
everybody else. And
if they appreciate it,
then you just want to do it more after
that."
But appreciation within graffiti circles
must be earned, and artists must put their work
up over someone else's.
"The better you get, the least likely (a piece) is to get
written over," said Sasser.
Yet, having a piece painted over is not the sole concern
for those placing their tag on public property. Arrests arc
constantly being made in an effort to clean
up the streets as Solomon told of his
own experience with the loca
police.
His only encounter, he
said, was "Just in Auburn."
Yet, his answer carried no
harsh resentments, but
instead, with a laugh he
described the double standard which can put a thin line
between school spirit and illegal graffiti.
Coinciding with his arrest for painting graffiti, several
students were also arrested for placing the tiger paw in
the middle of the intersection at Toomer's corner.
"When I went to court they slammed me the hardest
they could right off the bat," Solomon recalled. "But what
I thought was pretty ironic was that the people who went
out and painted the big tiger paw on Toomer's corner,
they just kind of laughed at them, slapped
them on the hand and let them go. And to
me that's the same thing as what I did —
because they didn't have permission to
do that either."
However, his arrest served as publicity that
ttractcd attention to his work.
"Actually, it's kind of helped," Solomon said,
"because after that is when everybody kind of
came to me to do work for them."
Those who sought after Solomon's
talent included not only the Ubox, but also
several clubs in Atlanta and Montgomery.
"In a way, that was kind of a turning
point," he added.
The first job Solomon received from the
Ubox was ^gificoratc the interior of the
club, which he did with a mural about 60 feet
ong and 12-15 feet tall that rings the dance'
floor.
Working non-stop, Solomon and Sasser
began the job after the club
closed one Saturday
night and worked
t h r o u g h the
following day.
"We worked
on it, I think 22
s t r a i g h t hours.
We were about
dead when we were
done with it," Solomon
said.
The interior features the
club's name written jn letters that
requires one to think a second before
actually being able to decifer them.
There's also a cell from the ]apanimation movie
"Akira," and a signpost points the way to the bar and
restrooms.
Despite the repercussions and negative views
associated with graffiti, Sasser said the draw of
the art form itself holds their
interests, making their work
well worth the effort.

with Lynn Furner, 02COM
Sophomore explains
dinosaur dreams, praises
TV's IVlork and Mindy7
What was your earliest memory
in life?
"I was playing King of the Hill
with a couple of friends. I guess I
was about 8 years old. I was
playing with a bunch of older
fellows, and I guess they really
kicked my butt."
What was your most memorable
dream?
"I have many dreams, some of
them are so bizarre that I'd
rather not discuss them. I would
say that in this one particular
dream I was being chased by
dinosaurs who were after my
toenails. I don't know why they
were after my toenails, but hey, I
said that some of them were sort
of bizarre."
What was your favorite
childhood television show?
"'Mork and Mindy' was by far
the best television experience of
my younger years. I always
wanted to be like Mork and
drink milk through my finger."
Was Mork one of your
childhood role models?
" No, not really. I just always
wanted to sit on my head and
drink from my finger. Well, I
guess I admire his suspenders
and his ability to travel in an
egg"
If you could go back and live
through any point in history,
what would it be?
"I would have to say back to
the age of the dinosaurs. I have
had dreams about them, you
know."
Where
would be
your ideal
place to
spend a
month's
vacation, and
how would
you spend it?
"The
Colorado
Rockies. 1
would go up
there in mid
fall just
before it
starts to snow
on a regular
basis, get a
log cabin and
ride
horseback
into the fresh
mountain air every night."
If you were another person,
how do you think you would
see yourself?
"I would probably see myself
as just your average Joe with
maybe a little bit more than the
average hairdo. But since I wear
a hat most all of the time, I
would see me as nothing more
than the average Joe."
If you could be any toy, what do
you think you would be?
"I think that 1 would probably
be a koosh ball. I don't really
know why, I guess that just sort
of fits my personality."
What cartoon character do you
most closely resemble?
"Well, for some reason I seem
to always be fixing things and
creating things through building.
I think that would make me most
like Handy Smurf because he
seems to be quite the Bob Villa."
What do you think about the
recent occurrences on Jupiter?
"It really makes me think
about the chances of it
happening to Earth, i know that
scientists are saying that it is a
slim chance, but hey, evolution
happened. I read somewhere
that one of the craters was the
size of Earth. 1 guess that if a
similar, yet smaller occurrence
happened here, we would be no
more than skeletons that lost the
human race."

Panel number 45 in the display shows the migrants arrival in Pittsburgh.
Art exhibit tells struggles of
African American migration
The use of contrast between
light and dark by artist Jacob
Lawrence makes his exhibit at the
Birmingham Museum of Art a
truly intriguing and educational
journey through the life of post-
World War I African Americans.
Through a series of 60 paintings,
the Migration Series tells of the
struggles and hopes experienced
by African Americans as they
moved from the South to the
North in search of jobs and a
better life.
With short narratives to
accompany the paintings,
Lawrence explains his motivation
behind the creation of each panel.
The first half of the collection
spares no detail to the hardships
that most African Americans
endured during that time. Scenes
depicting poverty and lack of food
are intermingled with those
expressing hope for a new life in
the industrial North.
The second half reveals the
North's failure to show as much
promise as was expected, with
labor camps and race riots
dominating many scenes. In great
contrast to the South, which
Lawrence depicted to consist of
land as far as the eye could sec,
the North is shown to be a
concrete, man-made world.
The images are simple, yet
expressive enough to tell of the
desire and the struggle African
Americans experienced.
It seemed each image could be
cut out and then pieced together
again as if Lawrence's desire was
to tell a story with images that
anyone could understand and
relate to without the complexities
found in many works of art.
As the artist never visited the
South while working on the series,
he based much of his knowledge
of the African American
movement on research done on
migration after World War I.
To help people understand the
movement better, the museum has
set up a reading room to coincide
with the exhibit.
Also at the Birmingham
Museum of art is a second exhibit,
Lewis H. Hine:Early Work, that
contains 50 prints depicting
immigration to America. Dark and
severe images haunt each picture,
and the hardship experienced by
the once hopeful immigrants can
be seen in the eyes of each piece.
Such works had a positive effect
on social reforms, especially child
labor laws that were eventually
passed in the early 1900s.
The Birmingham Museum of
Art successfully mixes the two
medias of photography and
painting to address the migration
theme. Lawrence and Hinego
beyond the definition of artists
and enter the realm of
humanitarians. Their
concentration on human suffering
and the desire to lift mankind to a
higher level makes this exhibit
both moving and influential.

"If you play another country song..."
Nashville-based blues band rejects
stereotypical music of adopted city
by Mark Wilder
. Plainsman Staff Writer
Once you have played guitar
for Marie "I'm a little bit country"
Osmond, what musical goals arc
left to conquer?
Dean Hall, vocalist and guitarist
for Dean Hall and the Loose Eels,
said he is already doing what he
loves best: touring and playing
blues rock for as many people as
possible.
Even if those people have
smaller, less famous teeth.
Mondays through Wednesdays
Hall plays guitar for various
artists during recording sessions
in Nashville. But the rest of his
week is devoted to touring the
club circuit with the Loose Eels.
"We get to ride around, telling a
bunch of lies and eating at the
finest gas stations," Hall said.
The band will % A
For Hall, a lovc>of music came
early in life when he began
playing drums at the age of 3 and
guitar at 5.
Raised in eastern Kentucky,
Hall credits his upbringing as his
musical inspiration.
"When I was young my parents
took me to a lot of bluegrass
festivals," he said.
"There would be about 100
bands on the back of pick-ups,
and people would wander around
listening and drinking beer."
From these bluegrass roots Hall
moved to playing the blues of
King and Johnny Cash on guitar.
He named his other favorite
artists growing up as Ted Nugent,
ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix and Led
Zepplin.
This combination of blues with
hard rock is a good description of
the type of original music the
band mixes with cover tunes,
Hall said.

The Supper
Club vvas one of

Hall and the Loose Eels brought
their music after forming two
years ago, which Hall said created
a special place in the members'
lives for the venue.
The band came together during
a Tuesday night blues jam in a
Nashville bar, combining the
members of two separate bands.
A play on the word "Lucille,"
the name of blues great B.B.
King's favorite guitar, indicates
the band's influences and the style
of music the members enjoy
playing.
Vocalist/Guitarist
this can be
found in some
of the band's
song titles, such
as "If You Play
~ ^ ^ ~ " ^ ^ ^ ™ A n o t h e r
Country Song, I'm Going to Have
to Kick Your Ass."
Having moved to Nashville in
1982, Hall said he believes the
money and attention currently
being focused there is because of
country music's popularity. Hall
said this will help the other types
of bands in the city.
"I feel Nashville will eventually
get more respect as 'Music City',
not just 'Country Music City,'"
Hall said. He said he believes this
will happen because of the
excellent recording studios and
talented recording engineers in
Nashville.
However, the band is shopping
its music around to record
companies in New York instead
of Nashville. It has turned down
some contract offers from local,
independent record companies
that wanted the band to play
straight blues music. Hall said.
"We love playing straight
blues," Hall said, "but we do it
just for fun. The kind of music we
want to record is more hard
rock."
Hall said he and the Loose Eels
have been in the recording studio
since May and plan to release an
album at the end of August.
"We've had some major label
interest, so we'll release it either
independently or on a major
label," he said.
Hall should be receiving
interest of another kind in the
near future. He recently
participated in a commercial for
Monday Night Football, along
with Hank Williams jr., Take 6
and the Velcro Pygmies.
"I'm the guy playing the guitar
riff with a 12-foot python around
his neck."
That python, along with
another 10-foot python, are Hall's
pets which accompany the band
on its travels.
He said he finds the snakes
serve as an effective deterrent
against early-morning maid
service in hotels.
'The homemade sign we put on
our door announcing what's
inside usually gets the maid's
attention," Hall laughed.
"You'd be amazed. We don't
even hear the maid cart go past
our door in the morning."
CRITIC'S
CORNER
WITH SEAN HART
True Lies •&•&•& Director: James Cameron
••• Arnold is back and has once
again teamed up with
"Terminator" director James
Cameron, bringing "True Lies"
crashing to the silver screen.
After his last box office fiasco,,
'The Last Action Hero,"
Schwarzenegger returns wi th a
vengeance. "True Lies" is an
over-the-top action-ad ven ture
comedy that has more
explosions, deaths and sly
remarks than you can shake an
AK-47at,'
This film's too-much-is-never-ehough
attitude is almost more
.than the average person can
handle. Luckily, it stops just
short of the breaking point to
create a strange combination of
"James Bond" and "Rarabo"
with just a subtle shade of
"Airplane" thrown in for comic
relief-
"True Lies" manages to put to
use some fairly unusual ideas. It
: takes a fresh approach to the
already beaten-to-death, tried
and true action movie, but
unfortunately, does not follow
all the way through.
I get the feeling Cameron and
Schwarzenegger realized they
were working with a fresh
concept and panicked, deciding
they must beat the film into the
stereotypical mold of other
"let's kill everyone" movies.
Perhaps the most interesting
thing is that Tom Arnold, who
plays Gib, Tasker's partner in
espionage and killing bad guys,
is funny. He makes sure the
viewer never takes this film too
FILE
Arnold Schwarznegger
and Jamie Lee Curtis
seriously and prevents an
action-adventure over-load.
Arnold shows us brilliant,
comedic timing and a creative
sense of humor.
J was alsolsurprised to see
Schwarzenegger show a softer
side as he is forced to deal with
his mari talprdblen is.
I usually do not care for these
kinds of movies because they
often they take themselves
entirely top seriously.
However, this film is light-hearted
and simply asks,
"Wouldn't it be cool if these
things could happen?"
There are, however, a few
areas where the film falls short.
The romantic subplot did not
seem well matched with the
more action-oriented segments
of the movie. Although it
provided an interesting and
necessary diversion from
gunfights and chaos, it was too
slow paced.
For those of you who enjoy
action films, you'll love "True
Lies." It may not be the best film
artistically, but it's fun.

Chief Boot Knocka
SirMix-A-Lot
American Recordings o o
Sir Mix-A-Lot is back on the
scene with his latest release, Chief
Boot Knocka. On it he throws
down with old school beats,
superfly scratch and rhymes
about "pimpin," "mackin" and
smokin' suckas wit his phat
bank."
Sir Mix-A-Lof s beats and
samples are dope, but after about
four or five songs, his rhymes
become tedious.
The monotone style of rapping
works at first, almost blending in
with the beats. But Sir Mix-A-Lot's
voice gets annoying quickly.
By the end of Chief Boot Knocka''s
fourteen tracks, you'll either be
asleep or insane.
"Sleepin' Wit My Fonk" spins •
the tale of Sir Mix-A-Lot stealing
another man's woman (fonk) and,
in turn, having his fonk stolen.
While the lyrics are quite inane,
the music, featuring the stylings
of the leader of P-funk, does get
down.
Sir Mix-A-Lof s mistake with
"Sleepin' Wit My Fonk" is that
he's played all of his cards with
this song. There's not much left on
the album that can surpass it.
Chief Boot Knocka gets
progressively worse, though the
next few songs are decent.
"Beaounce" may even rival
its predecessor.
The fourth and last good track,
"Take My Stash," is a frantic stab
at taxes and the IRS. Is it possible
Sir Mix-A-Lot is a Libertarian?
Chief Boot Knocka should end
after "Take My Stash."
— Mike Bradie
Hungry For Stink
L7
Slash/Reprise
OO
L7's fourth outing, Hungry For
Stink is definitely not as strong as
its breakthrough album, Bricks Are
Heavy, but the queens of the
sacred cycle prove they can still
rock.
Many L7 fans who didn't like
Bricks Are Heavy because of its
polished, poppy sheen will likely
appreciate Hungry For Stink for its
back-to-basics approach.
The group exchanged producer
Butch Vig for GGGarth (Rage
Against the Machine), a producer
who tends to do things a bit more
raggedly.
But the transition seems
unsuccessful for the most part.
The music on Hungry For Stink
is excellent and as heavy as ever,
pounding out bass and distortion-driven
turmoil, laced with
harmonics and sonci bile.
However, lead vocalist Donita
Sparks has become too sure of her
voice.
There was a time when she
howled like a wounded alley cat
and made it sound good, but on
Hungry For Stink, she seems to
drone.
This can be attributed partially
to poor writing because the
choruses are uninspired and
boring.
Thaf s not to say good songs .
don't appear on the album. The
ninth cut, "Freak Magnet" is
probably one of the better ones
the band has done.
While Hungry For Stink may not
be its strongest effort, these Go-
Go/Riot Grrrl hybrids still know
where it's at.

THE
RADIANT
DIAMOND
THE RADIANT CUT DIAMOND
COMBINES THE CLASSIC
ELEGANCE OF THE
TRADITIONAL EMERALD SHAPE
WITH THE FIERY BRILLIANCE
OF THE ROUND CUT.
The Radiant Cut Diamond.
Until recently, the
maximum number of
facets—or.foces—
achieved in cutting a
diamond was 58.
The Round, or Brilliant
Cut. was the shape most
prized by investors
because it provided
maximum refraction of
light.
The Radiant Cut Diamond
yields even greater
brilliance because its 70
facets allow more light-refracting
surfaces than
was ever before possible.
This innovation in diamond
cutting greatly increases
the beauty and value of
any grade, size, color or
quality of stone.
DOTTOMVIEW
combines them with the beautiful symmetry of the
rectangular shape of the Emerald c u t . ..
\W\
TOP VIEW BOTTOM VIEW
and yields a more vibrant, radiant diomond than ever
thought possible: the Radiant Cut Diomond.
The Real Brilliance
of a Diamond Emanates
not from the Surface,
but from Within.
