A federal judge in A lexan d ria, Va., and the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond ruled that women seeking abortions are a pro­ tected class of persons who can use the 1871 law to obtain federal court injunctions against the blockades. Those injunctions can be enforced by federal law enforcement agents or, if necessary, federal troops. M o st m em bers of the co u rt, d e e p ly d iv id e d o ve r ab o rtio n , rem ained silent during Tuesday's argument. O nly four of the nine jus­ tices asked questions. Most questions asked by Justices A n to n in Scalia and Byro n W h ite seemed hostile to E llis' arguments. M ost asked by Ju stice Joh n P a u l Stevens seemed hostile to the argu­ m ents proposed by Roberts and Sekulow. Justice Anthony Kennedy, consid­ ered by some legal experts to hold a potentially pivotal vote in the case, called E llis ' asserted definition of class-based animus "a legal fiction." The court first heard arguments in the case a year ago, before Justice Clarence Thomas had won Senate confirmation. The postponement of any decision led to speculation that the rem aining eight justices w ere evenly divided and needed his vote to break the tie. The co u rt's decision, expected som etim e in 1993, could become irrelevant if Dem ocratic candidate B ill Clinton wins the presidency in Novem ber. The president has the authority to order federal protec­ tion, w ithout any court injunction, for women seeking access to abor­ tion clinics.

Cable bill product of congressional opportunism * j Ä S ts T Ä te ä Ä î f j ï  ï S â a ä ä s ä ä ä s ostile takeovers are nothing new in the world of business, but T. Boone Pickens and Ivan B oesky h av e n o th in g on Congress, as was brutally demonstrated to U.S. cable companies last night. While government has been able to falsely cloak past takeovers of industries such as education and housing in the veil of the necessity of these services, the takeover of such an extraneous and non-essen­ tial industry such as cable television can only be ch aracterized as a p olitically-m otivated Congressional power grab. Many in Congress supported the bill because it will regulate basic cable rate increases. One congressman complained that cable rates were increasing at three times the rate of inflation, a rate which he deemed "totally unacceptable." Im agin e the e co n o m ic c o n d itio n of this nation if this policy was applied consistently. I his would mean that fortunate homeowners w hose property appreciated at a rate three times greater than the inflation rate would not be allowed to sell their homes at market value. Skilled laborers who found their talents sud­ denly in demand would not be able to accept increases in their wages (i.e., the price at which they sell their p rod u ct) of m ore than three times the rate of inflation. Yet no legislator with even a minimal degree of p o litica l acu m en w ou ld e v e r d ream of telling A m erican laborers that they cannot accept large increases in their wages. This leg­ islation merely provided Congress a represen­ tative of "big business" to sacrifice to their con­ stituents while high on the power trip of over­ riding a Bush veto. ä Supporters of the bill argue that it will "serve the b est in terests of co n su m ers." They also argue that the legislation is necessary because 90 p e rc e n t of a ll cab le p ro v id e rs o p e ra te regional monopolies. Of course, they neglect to mention that the only reason cable companies are allowed to operate regional monopolies is that Congress long ago decided these monopo­ lies w ould "s e rv e the best interests of con ­ sum ers." Since the founding of this nation, no compa­ ny has ever been able to sustain a significant monopoly. Even the three major television net­ works, among the most powerful corporations in the U nited States, are unable to fend off competition from the growing Fox Network. But few companies will be willing or able to com pete with these government-created, estab­ lished m onopoliesSo Congress has decided to expropriate companies' programming to their potential competition. This sort of policy has its roots in our antitrust laws: If a firm offers a product that is much better or more popular than its com petitors, it is an unfair business practice. But rather than allow the voluntary choices of consumers to determine prices, gov­ ernment inevitably resorts to the forced seizure and redistribution of both capital and intellec­ tual property. Government created these monopolies and thus the "p rob lem " of runaw ay cable rates. And now, the same myopic institution believes it can correct problems which it created in the first place. While the cable industry will surely suffer, so will the A m erican consum ers, left with only foxes to guard their henhouse. Johnson perpetuates myths On S e p t 25, Earvin "M a g ic" Jeff Hutchison TEXAN COLUMNIST The cL¿betes A s e r ie s . © B t x s H v s. B u sH Johnson resigned from the N ational C om m ission on AIDS, com plaining that the Bush adm inistration had "dropped the b all" on HIV. On the contrary, AIDS funding has quadrupled under Bush. The federal governm ent now supports re se a rc h on A ID S s ig n ific a n tly m ore than it d oes w ork on d is­ eases such as breast cancer, w hich are m ore prevalent. But beyond examining the sub­ stan ce o f Jo h n so n 's ch arg es, w e must look at the spokesman him­ self. W hen he announced he was HIV-positive on Nov. 9, the media -im m e d ia te ly exalted him as the in c a r n a te s y m b o l o f th e A ID S threat. Supposedly, if AIDS hap­ pened to M agic Johnson, it could happen to you. This assum es that Johnson is a h etero sexu a l ev ery m an . Let us, first of all, remember, that for var­ ious physiolog ical reasons, men very rarely co n tract A ID S from w o m en in h e te ro s e x u a l in t e r ­ course. Secondly, while it may be politi­ cally incorrect to note this, accord­ ing to Centers for Disease Control in fo rm a tio n , b la c k m e n , lik e Magic Johnson, are 50 times more at-risk to get AIDS heterosexually than white men. Finally, as a bas­ ketball superstar, M agic Johnson had a c c e s s th o u s a n d s o f to women, & la Wilt Chamberlain. Futherm ore, w hen w e assum e th a t Jo h n s o n c o n tra c te d A ID S through heterosexual contact, we are relying entirely on his word. Although black males are more lik e ly to c o n tr a c t A ID S , on ly abou t 3 ,00 0 h e te ro se x u a l b la ck males nationwide have been diag­ nosed with AIDS, hardly an ep i­ * demic. We m u st ig n o re th e sp u rio u s c la im s o f s p o rts cu ltu re ic o n s , h o w e v e r , to g e t a t th e tr u th . Heterosexuals are not seriously at risk of contracting AIDS, M o re w h ite m a les a re d ia g ­ n o sed w ith b re a st c a n c e r e a c h year than the num ber w ho have been diagnosed with heterosexu­ ally transmitted AIDS during the e n tire e p id e m ic . T h e e x te n t o f AIDS is still overwhelmingly con­ fined to h om osexu als and in tra­ venous drug users. By no m eans should we ignore the AIDS threat. But we must ask, what right does Johnson have to make sw eeping pronouncem ents about our national AIDS policy? H is o n ly real q u a lific a tio n is that people w ill listen to him. But beyond that, he is not an epidem i­ ologist; he lacks the scientific cre­ dentials to speak authoritatively about the disease. Even m ore seriously, he lacks all moral authority to speak about a sickness that, in its root causes, is pro fo u n d ly m oral. C uriou sly, th o se w ho a re m o rally u p rig h t and never could contract the dis­ ea se are c a s u a lly d ism isse d as " i n t o le r a n t r e lig io u s b i g o t s ," because they espouse abstinence. On the o th er h and , a m an w ho acquired a fatal disease from his sordid p ro m iscu ity is su dd enly qualified to preach to our children a b o u t s e x u a l m o ra lity — o n ly b ec a u se h e d isc lo se d w h at th e grapevine would have revealed a few days later. Jo h n s o n in s ta n tly b e g a n to trumpet "safe sex " as the solution, essentially ignoring the notorious failure rates o f condoms, ranging from 10-25 percent, that have been documented in a plethora of stud­ ies. He should know from his own experience that passionate young people, in mom ents of peak ardor, m ig h t fo rg e t to w ear th eir ru b ­ bers. After much criticism, however, Johnson did give unconvincing lip service to abstinence. It w as too la te , th o u g h . T h e d a m a g e had already been done. By jum p ing on the au cou rant s a fe -s e x b a n d w a g o n , Jo h n s o n becam e an o th er gu errilla in the' cultural elite's covert w ar on tra­ v a lu e s . d itio n a l A m e ric a n Everyw here, from classroom s to sitcom s, children are taught that Ju d eo-C h ristian p recep ts should be d iscard ed b e c a u se re se a rc h , condoms and social program s will save us from the AIDS epidem ic. In reality, these sacred cow s o f the liberal AIDS establishm ent are lit­ tle m ore than Band-aids (no pun intended) over the deep w ounds in o u r u n d e rly in g m oral fa b ric inflicted by the sexual revolution. W e w ill eventually find the cure for AIDS, but unless o u r society quits encouraging the violation of God's law, we will be continually b eset w ith in crea sin g ly te rrib le afflictions. Magic Johnson, meanwhile, has retu rned to b ask etb a ll and will make $14.6 m illion this next sea­ son. I wish him the best of luck as he co n tin u es to lead the L ak ers to victory with his charisma and no­ look passes. I hope, however, that he will stay so busy on the court that he will not have time to per­ petuate the myth of a heterosexual A ID S e p id e m ic and to fu r th e r deceive our nation's children with prophylactic paeans.

Texts, fiction still censored Texas is nationally-ranked in at least one area: in George Klos TEXAN COLUMNIST the field of textbook censorship, w e're num ber two. T h e lib e r a l fr e e -s p e e c h g ro u p P e o p le fo r th e A m erican W ay reports that Texas, w ith 27 cases of p a re n ta l a tte m p ts at b o o k b an n in g in th e 1991-92 school year, ranked second in the nation in this dubi­ ous honor. Florida led the league with 34. To my cha­ grin, my home state and adopted state rank first and second, respectively. Censorship is the domain of well-organized funda­ mentalists. Arthur Kropp, president of People for the A m erican W ay, w rote "th e re is m uch m ore m oney, more national orchestration, and they are much better organized than at any previous tim e." The books in question are the old favorites of the book-banning crowd. Catcher in the Rye was the most censored book nationally because, according to com- p la in e r s , it c o n ta in e d " t o o m u ch s w e a r in g " and encourages students to think about sex ." The sw ear­ ing is old hat. rhe words in question are "c ra p ," "b a s­ tard and a few other epithets children can now hear on network TV. Another classic in the crosshairs of the book-banners is John Steinbeck's O f M ice and M en for its alleged blas­ phemy and profanity. Parents also complained of sex­ ual overtones in the story. This is really off the deep end if they refer to the mild flirtation by the story 's sole female character. C)ther favorites of fundam entalist scorn include A ll the King's Men, Slaughterhouse Five and The Grapes o f Wrath. O nce again, sex and cussing prevail as reasons for cen so rsh ip , althou g h S lau ghterhou se Five is also guilty of pacifism, and Grapes o f Wrath is socialistic and depicts the American Legion as vicious reactionaries. W hile the above-m entioned classics are perennial targets, new wrinkles in the fundamentalist jihad have e m erg e d re c e n tly . N a rro w -m in d e d p a re n ts o n ce attack ed b o o k s for "s e c u la r h u m a n ism ." N ow th e rhetoric has changed to "N ew A ge," "Satan ism " and occultism, according to Kropp. These reasons were cited most in this year's tally of censorship incidents. U n d er th is ru b ric , T he W izard o f O z is d ee m ed unsuitable for children because o f the "G o o d " W itch of the W est. Stories with talking anim als are consid­ ered occultist. Books dealing with ecology have been atta ck ed for b ein g " t o o o n e -s id e d " or p ro m o tin g paganism. « ° D iscussion of the earth 's origin is alw ays a source for fundam entalist wrath. David M uralt, Texas direc­ tor of the far-right Citizens for Excellence in Education, asked the Texas Education Agency to change textbook passages on dinosaurs and geologic formations to read that only some people believe in them. This is the rea­ son for the decline in textbook quality — publishers feel compelled to w ater down the text with limp quali­ fiers so as not to offend. The result is a substandard text. That's why textbooks leave out religion; it's not a New Age, secular hum anist one-w orld-order-fits-all conspiracy — they just don't w ant to offend Anyone so they publish bland drivel. There is no way to publish or teach anything with­ out offending som ebody, so school officials need to quit being so gutless in dealing with censors. People for the American Way criticizes school bureaucrats for removing materials in the hopes that problems will go away. They w on't, of course. Such responses are victo­ ries for censors and encourage them to continue. O ne can conclude from the types of com plaints that these are not typical parents, but members of a subcul­ ture with its own com m unication system. They watch Pat Robertson, read m aterials from Beverley LaHaye and Phyllis Schlafly, listen to "C h ristia n " talk radio and view the fringe characters on cable access. Each source confirm s the others and a neat, sem i-cogen t world view can be formed entirely within this insular subculture. Then they go out and censor books with the funding and organizational backing of the national religious right. Although I disagree fundam entally with people of this sort, I can't begrudge their active role in their chil­ d ren 's ed u cation. The real p roblem is the lack o f a parental group in opposition to the far right. W ith their national organizations and monitoring procedures, the far right dominates textbook debates. The field is con­ ceded to them because no sim ilar organization of par­ ents opposes the censors. The censors can be defeated w ith vigorous debate and a sustained challenge. People who are concerned with educational quality need to keep an eye on them. Klos is a graduate student in history.

David Hansen Graduate student Ed Sullivan is confused Ed S u lliv a n s co lu m n on N a tio n a l Football League free agency and the free market eloquently illustrates: the hypocrisy and selfishness which permeates our soci­ ety. Sullivan is such a solid supporter of the free m arket that it took a d isaster of the p ro p o rtio n s th at w ould resu lt from the NFL free agency to convince him that the market doesn't always work. The $500 billion tab left from the deregu­ latio n of the sav in g s and loan in d u stry d id n 't convince Sullivan that the m arket sometimes fails. Thirty-seven million Americans without health insurance didn't convince him that the market could conceivably fail. The constantly im creasing poverty rate under the R eag an-B u sh ad m in istratio n s didn't convince him that the market might not always work. H o w e v e r, th e p o s s ib le d e m is e o f Sullivan's beloved Dallas Cow boys is proof positive that the markèt is not infallible. Now let me get this straight. M eteoric tax increases, dying Americans and persis­ tent poverty are bearable costs for the ben­ efits of the free m arket, but the inconve- n ien ce of Su lliv an h aving to find a new team to root for is not. Sullivan's flippant remark about tossing aside his values indicates that his article may be intended satire. If so, he should be advised that effective use of satire requires writing skill and sub­ tlety far beyond w hat has been show n to date in his columns. And even is the article is somewhat satir­ ical, it's obvious that Sullivan does hope the m arket is restricted in this case, even though he can 't defend the restriction on principle. However Sullivan has taken one position with which I agree. He is confused.

Strike causes closer USAir inspections m Associated Press WASHINGTON — The govern­ ment is stepping up inspections of USAir's maintenance operations to ensure flying safety during a strike by the airline's machinists, officials said Tuesday. "The inspectors are going in to check the records, check the work on the floor," said Joann Sloane, a Federal A viation A dm inistration spokeswoman. "It's a precautionary step," she said. "You are never sure when there is a strike w hat kind of problem s “The inspectors are going in to check the records, check the work on the floor.” —Joann Sloane, _________FAA spokeswoman might crop up," she said. "This is ju st to m ake sure th at safety is maintained and that there are quali­ fied people to do the work." USAir, the nation's sixth largest airline, was struck for the first time in its 13-year history Monday by the 8,300 employees who are members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. The com pany is seeking union approval of a w age-and-benefit reduction package to help it deal with recent heavy financial losses. The un io n m ain tain s th a t its members are being asked for deeper cuts than those requested of other employees, including USAir pilots. USAir is using supervisory per­ sonnel to perform m aintenances and repair operations. "This always happens when there is a s trik e ," Sloane said of the stepped-up FAA inspection.

October 7. 1992 1 Faculty still questioning writing division proposal Teri Bailey Daily Texan Staff The Faculty Senate is dem anding m ore information on a proposal to create a w riting division separate from the English D epartm ent after bitter faculty com plaint about the lack of input. The Faculty Senate is calling on the U niversity C ouncil to answ er q u e stio n s ab o u t th e p ro p o sa l to establish a w riting division under the C ollege of Liberal A rts at the council's Oct. 19 meeting. Faculty Senate mem bers are cur­ rently drafting the questions after m embers voiced frustration over the proposal at their meeting Monday. But they declined to say T uesday specifically w hat those q uestions will be. "It was evident that people were concerned that very little input has been available/' said Waneen Spir- duso, Faculty Senate chairwoman. " There are a lot of little procedur­ al questions people still have about this new division in rhetoric and composition," she said. "Generally, mem bers were concerned with the way the division was developed." fhe move by former UT President W illiam C unningham to establish the Division of Rhetoric and Com­ position came on the recommenda­ tion of the Presidential Com mittee of the U n derg radu ate Experience, w h ich said a d iv is io n w o u ld im prove the U niversity's w riting program ." Robert King, interim dean of the C ollege of L iberal A rts, said the plan subm itted in early September would match views of the presiden­ tial co m m ittee in th a t " it w o u ld im prove the w ritin g " of stu d en ts studying under the new curriculum. In accordance with the plan, stu­ dents registering for writing courses after June 1993 will do so under a division in the College of Liberal Arts, instead of the English Depart­ ment. 4 But Elizabeth Fernea, a Faculty Senate m em ber re p re se n tin g the E n g lish D e p a rtm e n t, said not enough "o p en discussion into the nitty gritty of the new division" and m ore e ffo rt sh o u ld be m ad e to in fo rm fa c u lty m em b ers of the plan's intentions. "This is not a narrow issue," she said. "T his is som ething that will affect the w hole of the University. We have to consider how the pro­ posal will impact the students and the University in general." F ernea said she h o p es to h av e m ost faculty -generated questions answ ered at the UC m eeting, but said "for right now, I can't see any reason for doing it. I don't see any­ one trying to convince me that this would benefit students." Please see New division, page 9 UT students go professional Vocational fields favored over studying liberal arts Jeff Mead Special to the Texan The post-graduation job search for students with non- professional majors may be just as tough as recent eco­ nomic times, an official in the Office of Admissions said Monday. Gary Hanson, coordinator of research in the Office of Admissions, said that as the U.S. economy continues to decline, UT stu d en ts are choosing vocational fields instead of studying liberal arts. Liberal arts, finance and even som e engineering classes are losing stu d en ts to accounting and other vocational fields," Hanson said. •Dave Meek, the d ire c to r and o w ner of S ou th ern Careers Institute, a vocational school in South Austin, said he has seen his student population double in two years. The economy gets tougher and people realize they don't have a job. That's when students come here to get trained,' Meek said. "Jobs get scarce and employers get more selective with who they choose." Paralegal and nursing training, as well as cosmetol­ ogy at SCI, take six to nine months, and do not include core classes such as English and governm ent, Meek said. V ic Appel, an associate professor of educational psy­ chology at the University, said he agreed that employer dem and for additional training after high school has increased. Appel said that technical skills needed for some jobs cannot be learned on the job or in high school, so stu­ dents need to attend other schools. "There is a need for more sophisticated preparation," Appel said. Hanson said students are looking for immediate jobs that will allow them to earn money quickly, instead of training for higher paying jobs later. Part of the rush to vocational occupations is stu ­ dents not wanting to wait to get to an affluent lifestyle," Hanson said. "Students are saying 'I w ant to get there n o w ,' and the w ay to do that is to get a vocational degree," Hanson said. Please see Professionals, page 9 Graduate school reps to hit West Mall Nicole Keller Special to The Texan Students forced by the recession to stop job hunting and explore the g rad u ate school option can begin their search W ednesday at G radu­ ate and Professional School Day.

A m ong the areas of stu d y that will be represented are law, medical studies, international business and trade, theology, industrial relations and library science. "It's so much easier ... for the stu­ d e n ts to h a v e th e ir q u e s tio n s answ ered one-on-one w ith the col­ leges," Johnson said. UT College of Pharm acy re p re­ sentatives said they hope to entice current UT students into the grow­ ing field of pharmacy. "We w ant to encourage more stu­ d en ts th a t have a b ac k g ro u n d in chem istry, biology or other basic scien c es to go in to p h a rm a c y , becau se of the job o p p o rtu n itie s available," said Linda Porterfield, assistant to the dean of pharmacy. "There could be many more stu ­ dents coming to the pharmacy pro­ grams directly from the UT campus, but a lot of them are just not aware of us," she said.

On campus interviews: Friday, October 30 ivt northern telecom BNR« The research subsidary of Northern Telecom Common cold blows onto campus Faith Singer Daily Texan Staff The common cold is sweeping the UT cam p u s, an d h e a lth officials warn the worst is vet to come. Dr. Nancy Van Vessem, medical director of the Student Health Cen­ ter, said a wave of illnesses — com­ monly influenza and strep throat — typically begins at this time of year and peaks during December, Janu*- ary and February. But the range of people the ill­ nesses affect varies because of the unpredictable nature of the flu sea­ son, she said. "The potential for m ore sick stu­ dents exists because [the flu] repre­ sents a whole new disease catego­ ry," Van Vessem said. In flu e n z a , a c o n ta g io u s v ira l in fe c tio n , can be p re v e n te d by receiving a flu vaccination. Strep throat, a bacterial throat infection that can lead to more serious health p ro b le m s, m u st be tre a te d w ith antibiotics such as penicillin and is not as easily preventable. According to Van Vessem, strep th ro a t cases are re p o rte d y e a r- round, although a higher incidence of strep th ro at occurs d u rin g the w in ter season. C urrently cases of the common cold and bronchitis are b ein g re p o rte d th e m o st at th e health center. According to a Texas Departm ent of H ealth official, the C enters for Disease Control produce new vac­ cines each year to defend against th e sp re a d of n ew ly fo rm e d flu strains. Cindy Smith, a nurse w ho over­ sees UT flu vaccinations, said the h e a lth center will be v accinating students and faculty the first week of N o v e m b e r. The sh o ts w ill be effective for at least six months. Last year 1,425 students and 325 faculty m em bers received the flu vaccine, Smith said. Mike Keenan, a d u lt im m u n iza­ tio n c o o rd in a to r fo r th e Texas Department of Health, said October and November are optimal times to receive the flu vaccination. He said although college students are a low- risk group for acquiring full-fledged influenza, flu shots are necessary. "College students are one of the m ore u n d e r im m u n iz e d g ro u p s in to th e y d o n 't b ec au se increased-risk groups such as senior citizens, young people with chronic h ea lth d isease s or c h ild re n w ith asthma," Keenan said. fall M odern vaccines are m ild and safe, and w on't cause any unfavor­ able reactions like arm soreness or fever, Keenan said.

" I w ill do my best to answ er ev ery q u e s tio n ," King said. He added that "a larger number of peo­ ple have expressed their support" of the new division. But Joh n D u rb in , com m ittee mem ber from the Department of Mathematics, said questions he had raised at an August Faculty Senate m eeting rem ain unanswered and will be submitted in addition to the concerns from Monday's meeting. "W hat roll will the faculty have in deciding on the cu rricu lu m ?" Durbin asked. "A n d what about salaries and promotions? Essential­ ly, why is this being done?" King's proposal on the division seeks to work closely with the Eng­ lish Department " to maintain a 2 traditional relationship" between literature and writing courses. Professionals Continued from page 8 The trend toward professional train in g has been evid en t at the University since 1988. In the past four years, pre-profes­ sion al fie ld s such as n u rsin g, accounting and specialized sciences have seen increased enrollm ent, w hile liberal arts-related m ajors have lost students, according to the Office of Institutional Studies. A ppel said one reason for the trend is a change in employer atti­ tudes. "Previously, students would • say, 'I 'l l get a liberal arts b a ck ­ ground, then go to a manager train- ing session at my job to learn the specifics.' Now, however, employ­ ers don't want to have to pay for those training sessions," he said. Even students who graduate with professional degrees are having a tough time finding jobs they like. " W e 'r e in a tight m arket now because of an increased labor force, and m any co lleg e stu d en ts are underemployed. College graduates are now having to accept jobs that don't require a degree because they couldn't find jobs at their level," Appel said. T iie D aily T exan Wednesday, October 7 , 1 9 9 2 Page 9 Austin center helps troubled teens Jose Alaniz Daily Texan Robert Griffith committed suicide on Aug. 27, 1983. He was 20 years old and gay. In his diary he wrote, "Sometimes I sense that life is very fragile. I just want someone to pro­ tect me." The Out Youth Austin Center that bears Griffith's name, housed in the U niversity YWCA on G uadalupe Street, offers peer support to more than 80 troubled youths each month and receives 500 calls a month on its national hotline. T h ese young p eo p le, often between ages 12 and 22, turn to the staff and volunteers of Out Youth for help, advice and inform ation about their sexuality. They are often scared and co n fu sed , said co ­ founder and director Lisa Rogers. For m ost gays and le sb ian youth, the biggest fear is not AIDS. It's not getting beat up on the street. It's their parents rejecting them ," she said. To co u n ter th a t fear, R og ers helped establish Out Youth Austin two years ago while finishing her UT master's degree in social work. Inside the brightly decorated recep­ tion area young gay people can "be who they a re," Rogers said, and socialize in a relaxed atmosphere. Though many have com e out to their parents, others choose caution. "W e d on 't en cou rage them to come out, in fact we talk to youths I feel so good about who say, myself I m going to go home and tell my m om / " Rogers said. "W e talk to them about what the climate is like at home. 'W hat might you exp ect to happen? A re you p re­ p ared to be kicked ou t of the house?'" Rogers said youths must consider these possibilities in the face of sta­ tistics that show 40 p ercen t of homeless young people are same- sex oriented. But public intolerance of hom osexuality can have more subtle and damaging effects, said social work graduate student Chris­ tine Wiegman, who interns at Out Youth. "T h ey 'v e been told their whole lives that homosexuality is wrong," Wiegman said. "They take all those negative things as part of them ­ selves. They start to believe it. Low self-esteem is a problem." This translates into drug addic­ tion and suicide rates three times the national average for their age grou p, R og ers said . A long w ith other factors such as gay-bashing and homophobic religious extrem­ ism, Out Youth's mission becomes more vital, she said. "W e 're professionals and we're keeping these young people alive," Rogers said. "W e 're not teaching them how to screw each o th er. W e're teaching them how to have se lf-re sp e c t, how to know w hat their resources and their options are, to give them role models and accurate information." Greg McKenzie, a UT freshman in French, said Out Youth helped him find gay friends his age. He helps his peers at support m eetings by recounting his experiences coming out to his parents in Waco. "They should know that they're not w ro n g ," M cK enzie said. " I f th eir p aren ts really love them , they'll accept them." For all that, Rogers said that not everyone who comes to Out Youth necessarily discovers they are gay. But the organization helps them too. A d o lescen ce is a time w hen you're supposed to experiment with everything. That includes sexual experim entation," she said. "Y ou may have guys in a circle jerk and they thi nk 'O h sh it, I m ust be queer.' You may have a young guy who was abused by his uncle who thinks 'He wouldn't have come on to me unless I were gay.' He may be gav and he may not be gay." D espite occasional threatening phone calls, Rogers said Out Youth receives little resistance from the community. An incident in which a parent came to complain illustrates the mission of her organization. "W e talked about the Bible for about an hour and he was pretty angry," she said. "But then h is so n told me that the following week he came around and he realized that he loved his son more than he loved his dogma."

October 7. 1992 Page 11 Craig Enos Daily Texan Staff Stu d en t the re p re se n ta tiv e s University and four Austin area colleges met with Mayor Bruce Todd Tuesday to improve communication between the city and area college students. from The Cam pus C oalition and the m ayor agreed to hold regular meetings so the city can work with students on issues including the environment, parking, crime and public service projects. The coalition includes two representa­ tives from the UT Students' Association, in addition to the student government presi­ dents of Austin Com m unity C ollege, St. E d w ard 's U n iv ersity, H u sto n -T illo tso n College and Concordia Lutheran College. Jerem y Pemble, SA citizens' affairs co­ chairperson, was selected by the coalition as the group's liaison to City Hall at the pri­ v ate m eetin g in T o d d 's o ffice . K aren Hamlett, the co-chairperson, is the coali­ tion's second UT representative. Pemble said the coalition was the idea of SA president Howard Nirken, and added that Todd expressed strong support for the group. "The mayor felt it was time to meet with students to get our input, since we make up nearly 100,000 of his constituents," Pemble said. "H e is 100 percent behind us. We got a pleasant surprise." Pemble said he hopes to discuss safety “The mayor felt it w as time to meet with students to get our input, since we make up nearly 100,000 of his constituents. Todd is 100 percent behind us. We got a pleasant surprise.” — Jeremy Pemble, SA citizens’ affairs co-chairperson issues with Todd in the future, including improving lighting in the UT West Campus area. Todd said the group will "control its own destiny" because the students will draft their own agenda for their meetings with him and other city officials. "There was a great deal of positive ener­ gy at the meeting," Todd said. " I told them this was not an exercise in r£sum6 padding, it was an exercise in trying to get something done." Todd said the coalition discussed getting involved with civic projects to help chil­ dren, such as the Opportunities For Youth program. He said local college students could per­ form a valuable public service by introduc­ ing elementary and high school students to the local universities. Pat Weathers, ACC's student president, said parking is a major issue at ACC's Rio Grande Street campus because of the down­ town location and the lack of campus hous­ ing. She agreed that Todd was receptive to the students' concerns. " I never felt that the mayor would have a lot of time to devote to this, but it looks as if h e's w illing to find the tim e," W eathers said. The coalition will meet at Concordia on Monday to discuss an agenda for its next m eetin g w ith the m ayor in N ovem ber, according to Concordia student president Sharon Lacey. Congress orders Sematech to clean up Rajesh Prabhakar Daily T exan Staff Local and national environmental organizations Tuesday called the U.S. C ongress' weekend mandate that Sem atech , an A u stin -b ased high-tech consortium, spend 10 per­ cent of its budget on environmental research a "victory." The m andate, w hich C on gress ap p ro ved Satu rd ay , in stru c ts Sem atech to spend $10 m illion in 1993 developing a "pollution pre­ v en tin g , en v iro n m en ta lly safe microchip manufacturing process." Congress approved 1993 funding totaling $100 million for Sematech in September. Ted Sm ith ch airm an of the C am paign fo r, R esp o n sib le Technology and executive director of Silicon Valley Toxic Coalition in San Jose, Calif., said he was pleased with Congress' decision. "[W e] have achieved a significant milestone in a joint effort to redefine the m ission of S em atech ," Sm ith said. "G ro w in g co n cern s abou t the environmental impacts of the semi­ conductor industry throughout the cou n try m and ated C o n g ress to authorize $10 million for environ­ mental research," Smith said. However, several people with ties to Sematech and the semiconductor business said they were not con ­ cerned about the en v iron m en tal impact of their industry. Scott Stevens, com m unications m an ager for Sem atech , said the research group already receiv es money from member companies for environmental research. "The semiconductor industry has the lowest rate of injury according to OSHA statistics," Stevens said. " I n ad d itio n , 95 p ercen t of the chemicals we use are recycled." He also said Sematech is currently researching safer substitutes for the chemicals used during the manufac­ turing process and also for addition­ al ways of recycling the chemicals used. But Smith said the impact of the silicon industry in C alifornia has been "devastating." "Ground water has been contami­ nated throughout the valley because of the electronic companies in the area," Smith said. "Also, the rate of occupational ill­ ness in semiconductor industries is three times the national average," he added. POLICE BRIEFS Mother, boyfriend charged with abusing baby boy The m other of an 18-month-old boy and her boyfriend w ere charged T u esd ay by A ustin police with abusing the child, Municipal Court records show. Austin police arrested Wendy Nelson, 23, and Luke Norton, 21, of 1401 E. Rundberg Lane on a charge of hitting 18-month-old Jason Nelson Jr. last m onth, according to a w ritten statem ent. Injury to a child is a first-degree felony. N elson signed a confession stating that she went into her son's room and began hitting him. " I have alw ays been protective of my ch il­ dren," Nelson said in her statement. "T h e sad part is that I could not protect Jason Jr. from myself." Norton, Nelson's live-in boyfriend, also orally confessed to police that he abused Jason Nelson, according to the records-. In his statement, Norton said he lost his temper with the boy. He hit the boy several times on the side of the head with a clenched fist, according to the statement. Nelson's face and genitals were swollen and bruised. The boy also had a broken left leg and a skull fracture. Man charged with home shooting Austin police charged a Houston man Tuesday with the attempted murder of an Austin resident in September. Police charged Kevin Dewayne Tolbert, 19, of Houston with shooting Michael Pimpton of 920 Bodgers Drive in Austin. The crime is a first- degree felony. A cco rd in g to p o lice statem en ts filed in Municipal Court, Tolbert entered Pimpton's bed­ room, where Pimpton was asleep with his wife. The report states that Tolbert walked to the foot of the bed and pointed a 9mm handgun at the couple. Pimpton then kicked the gun out of Tolbert's hand, causing the gun to fire one shot. Pimpton tried to run into the living room. As Pimpton reached the living room, Tolbert came from behind him and fired three shots, the report states. Pimpton was wounded in the right bicep, right thigh and left calf, the report says. Tolbert ran from the scene after the shooting, the report states.

Case to determine Halcion safety Associated Press DALLAS — The first civil case of its type to go to trial involving the controversial sleeping pill Halcion is set to begin W ednesday in state district court. Other cases have been filed in other states against the drug s m aker, K alam azoo, M ich .-based U pjohn C o., alleging that the drug has dangerous side effects. In th e case b ein g h eard in 14th D istric t C o u rt in Dallas, a form er police officer from Fort Stockton, Texas and his family allege the drug caused the officer to kill his best friend in 1987, according to their attorney M ike Mosher. " I he dosage w as too large and people are not ade­ quately warned about side effects," said M osher, w ho represents W illiam R. Freem an. " I f it is p rom inently labeled and the patient is told about the side effects, that effects the way he feels about the drug. He w on't take it and they sell fewer drugs." C ritics of H alcion say it has caused num erous side effects, including depression, anxiety, insom nia, para­ noia and aggression that could lead to violence. U pjohn attorneys say they are ready to prove their case in court. "W e are ready to present the evidence and do what we have to in co u rt," said Earl A ustin, one of three attorneys representing Upjohn. ' For several years we have had a num ber of detailed w arnings ... and we are confident that those are ade­ q u a t e ," h e s a id . " W e d o n 't b e lie v e th a t in M r. Freem an's case that H alcion had anything to do with the m urder." Austin said he and other attorneys intend to intro­ duce evidence about Freem an's medical history as well as his alleged involvement with alcohol. The FDA has reviewed Halcion, known by the gener­ ic name triazolam, several tim es since it was approved for use in the United States in 1982. It has becom e the most widely prescribed sleeping pill in the world and is marketed in more than 90 countries. H alcion started receiving intense criticism late last year and has since been banned or restricted in several countries, including Great Britain.

Bush, meanwhile, charted his ow n debate tactics Tuesday from the White House, set­ ting aside three hours for a sessio n w ith chief of staff James Baker, budget director Richard Darman and other top policy aides. If and when Bush m oves on to rehearsal debates — aides said there could be one Sat­ urday at the White House — Darman could play the role of Clinton. The budget direc­ tor, w ho played Democrat Michael Dukakis in Bush's mock debates in 1988, has been carrying around debate briefing books for weeks. Robert Barnett, a D em ocratic attorney w ho played Bush in mock debates for Geral­ dine Ferraro and Dukakis in the past tw o elections, was heading to Kansas City with his 12-year Bush file in tow. The goal is not to imitate George Bush; that's Dana Carvey," said Barnett, referring to the Saturday Night Live actor. He said of Bush: "My goal is to state his positions, his attacks, his punch lines." Rep. Mike Synar of Oklahoma — tapped by C lin to n to p la y P erot b eca u se h e's a quick study and hails from a state close to Perot's Texas — w a s h ead in g to K ansas City, too. Clinton was set to be there Thurs­ day through Saturday. Clinton's aides huddled in Little Rock on T u esd ay, ready to prod him to be m ore a ggressive on the stage. M any in sid e the Clinton campaign thought he was too gen­ tlemanly during the primary debates, land­ ing tough, good lines only w hen riled by an opponent. They want him to land the tough lines first with Bush. Perot's staff said the independent candi­ date hasn't done any debate rehearsals and doesn't plan any. "He is the producer and script writer," said his n ation al v o lu n teer coord in ator, Orson Swindle, adding that Perot has been studying the issues. "I th in k it's sa fe to say Perot w ill be Perot," Sw indle said. "It w ill be unortho­ dox. It will not be like you have seen in the past." Environmental, consumer groups decry NAFTA Associated Press W A SH IN G T O N — The Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth and other e n v ir o n m e n ta l an d c o n su m e r groups Tuesday demanded renego­ tiation of the proposed trade treaty with Mexico and Canada. The demand came one day before President Bush, Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari and Cana­ d ia n Prim e M in ister Brian M ul- roney were to meet in San Antonio to initial the North American Free Trade Agreement. The treaty, concluded in August, cannot be sign ed by Bush before Dec. 17 under fast-track authority g ra n ted by C o n g re ss.

A senior adm inistration official Tuesday rejected claims that the San Antonio event is a photo opportuni­ ty, saying that it's routine to initial the final draft. But som e congressional D em oc­ rats and consum er advocates said Bush staged the ceremony in Texas — a key campaign battleground — for political gain. "H ow m any more tim es ca n the Bush administration ... declare vic­ tory on the NAFTA?" asked M on­ tana Democratic Sen. Max Baucus, a leading critic of the pact.

Democrats in the House whistled, cheered and shouted "Four more months" M onday night as Bush's perfect veto record was broken. It was almost as if Bush were already a lame duck president. W hen he w as soaring in popularity, such an override would have been unthinkable. In the past, Bush m anaged to p revail even w hen the m easures he vetoed w ere politically . . : ' appealing. In January 1990, he was even able to persuade the Senate to sustain his veto of a popu­ lar bill protecting Chinese students from deporta­ tion after the H ouse of R epresentatives voted 390-25 to override. But Democrats have m anaged to turn Bush's veto strategy — a strategy that once gave him enormous leverage despite Democratic majorities in both chambers — into a weapon against him in the final days of the campaign. At the R epublican N a tio n a l C o n v en tio n in August, Bush said he w ould use his veto pen to hold the line on spending. Instead Congress has sent him popular measures that hold potential for political damage w hen they are vetoed. For ex a m p le, Bush v e to e d a b ill req u irin g em ployers to provide workers w ith tim e off in family emergencies and he prevailed. But he paid a price — giving the Democrats a chance to claim he lacks commitment to family values. With the president unable to close the gap with D em ocratic n o m in ee Bill C lin ton in n ation al polls, the cable TV veto override w as just one more political sour note for Bush. To make matters worse, Democratic vice presi­ dential nom inee A1 Gore was a sponsor of the bill that nearly e v ery o n e but Bush and the cable industry seem ed to like. The president's explanation for his defeat: "We w ere overw helm ed by a very good sales job on the part of the networks." Paula, I Love Please, let’s try again. Scott B.

Now, after a five-year break, Dee S nider of T w isted S ister is back. U nlike his re v iv e d c o u n te rp a rts who rehash old hits but never even b o th er to record new m aterial or plan on getting past the club stages, Snider has returned with a function­ ing band, W idowmaker, and some pent-up ambition. “ It's exciting to be on stage again, and excitement is one of the things I really wanted back that I had lost," Snider says. , "I lost that enthusiasm playing all those years with Twisted Sister and essentially never stopped touring." But Snider says his hiatus, which w a s lo n g e r th a n h e e x p e c te d , helped the music. "The really nice side effect is that everything is new, fresh and excit­ ing," he says. It's not starting over completely, b u t it p u ts me back to the begin- n in g . I t's a fa r cry from w h e re Twisted took me," says Snider.

ITs not exactly humbling, but it's been so long it's beyond that. After five years, I don't expect any­ thing." ; For better or w orse, Snider has yet to shake the musical communi­ ty7 s memories of Twisted Sister. Although grateful for the fact that Twisted Sister's aging fans make a com eback possible, S n id e r's five years have apparently led him to question his former band's impact. " I don't think Twisted Sister real­ ly left that much of a m ark," Snider says. " I am starting to meet a lot of people inspired by it, but I guess I was too close to the m usic to see any im pact.

W ith W id o w m a k e r, w h ich includes ex-Alice Cooper guitarist A1 P e tre lli, Sn id er som ehow b al­ ances the over-the-top vocals and dark sarcasm of Twisted Sister w ith an updated musical drive. The result — especially on Snot Nose Kid and the Long Island-esque Emaheevul — is not too far removed from the output of a band like Skid Row or even the heavy side of Guns N ' Roses. For some, Sn id er's Tw isted ties have pushed W idowm aker's debut over the new m usic edge into the must-have category. For others, it's still a surprise that W idowm aker is actually a strong effort.

The veteran Eagles w hipped the young Cow boys 31-7 M onday night in a clash of NFC East unbeatens as quarterback Troy Aikm an served up three interceptions to the team he hasn't defeated in six starts. "This w as a big reality check for us,' said D allas safety Jam es W ash­ ington. "N o w we know how far we have to g o ." A ik m an , w ho w as s a c k e d fo u r times and flagged for grounding the ball on another occasion, adm itted, "I think the gam e is different with­ out the turnovers. I cost us several times. We m oved the ball on them but couldn't make the big p lay ." The C o w b o y s lo s t th e b a ll a fo u rth tim e w hen fu llb a c k D aryl Johnston fumbled it aw ay. In six losses to Philadelphia, Aik­ m an has been intercepted 10 times and sacked on 24 occasions. He has three touchdown passes. H erschel Walker, a form er C ow ­ boy, m ade the D allas loss even more p a in fu l by sco rin g on tw o to u ch ­ down runs. "E very time the defense went on the fie ld w e w ere b a c k e d up because o f all the tu rn overs," said lin e b a c k e r Bill B a te s. " I t m a d e things difficult." D a lla s w id e re c e iv e r M ich ael Irvin said the gam e will be different when the Eagles come to Texas Sta­ dium on Nov. 1. Irvin said , "T h e turnovers m ade the difference. They won't next time because w e won't make them ." Dallas coach Jim m y Johnson said the Cow boys killed themselves. " I th ought w e had the talent to m ove the fo o tb a ll," Joh n son said . "Y ou can't expect to win m aking the m istakes we d id ." H ow ever, o ffen siv e tackle N ate Newton adm itted "th ey beat us on both sides of the ball. " A ikm an , w ho sa id he w as so re from the beating he took, said the Eagle defense w as "frustrating." "I tried to m ake big plays proba­ bly w hen I sh o u ld n 't h a v e ," A ik ­ man said. "But we w on't let just one gam e determine w hat's in the store for us in the future." The loss, which sn ap p ed D allas' league-high string of eight straight re g u la r se a so n v icto rie s, w as the C o w b o y s ninth ou t of the la st 10 times they've p layed the E agles at Veterans Stadium .

In this issue we’ve tried to help you get b e tter acquaint­ ed w ith P re sid e n t Bush a n d Gov. Clinton through our interviews. E d ito rs from th e A riz o n a S ta te U. State Press and the U. o f M ichigan Daily, along with th ree editors from U. The N ational (.allege Magazine, Hew to G re e n sb o ro , N .C ., to interview th e Democratic nominee. As he sat across from us spewing sta­ tistics about the environm ent and for­ eign investment, it was hard to helieve that this was th e sam e po t-sm o k in ’, d r a f t- d o d g in ’, p h ila n d e r in ’ Bill ( Hinton from January. T h o u g h h e 's th e c o n s u m m a te schm oozer, you have to give the guv credit for caring enough about college students to take a half-hour of his time for a face-to-face interview with young journalists. I he p resid en t, on the o th e r h an d , spoke to three U. editors with the help of Ma Bell. While editors interviewing C linton were im pressed by his ability to cite statistics and examples, we will never know w hether o u r com m ander in chief iised (11 ills Nc>tes. But even o n th e p h o n e , the presi­ dent cam e across as gen uine. Bush's p o s itio n on issu es lik e a b o r tio n se e m e d to m a k e m o re sen se w hen e x p la in e d personally. P erh ap s h a n ­ dlers should let the unedited George out m ore often; he com es across as a real person — som eone with vision. The visions, positions and personali­ tie s o f P re s id e n t B ush a n d Gov. Clinton can be found in the excerpts fro m in te rv ie w s c o n d u c te d by V. Magazine. We trie d to let the c a n d i­ dates address, in their own words, the issues and concerns o f students. Now you have to m ake som e deci­ sions — will you be inform ed and will you vote? Bill C linton told us: “1 do not want your generation to be part of the first g roup o f Americans to do worse than their parents. But I think my gen era­ tion owes you better than you’ve l>een gettin’.” G e o rg e Bush said : “So y o u ’re addressing yourself to a very im portant audience in your publication. ” We know college students are impor­ tant; it’s time to make sure our leaders care about our concerns. T he ’80s are over; we need to ensure we will live as well as our parents by participating in the political process. Wre each have a vote. Let’s use it. —Kelley Tuthill Editor (mi Fellowship U. of Notre Dame CAMPUS COMMENTS F R O M A C R O S S T H E N A T I O N S T U D E N T R E S P O N S E S A Voice for Free Speech I agree with Jackie Spinner’s editorial in the September issue concerning the Supreme Court's “hate speech” deci­ sion because the First A m endm ent allows for freedom of speech, regard­ less of whether that speech is hateful or demeaning to others. 1 also disliked the Supreme C ourt’s decision, but it was necessary to preserve the basic prin­ ciples of the C onstitution. Limiting "hate speech" is wrong because it limits the freedom of minorities to express themselves. That is a worse crime than using derogatory language in my book. In a time when high schools are ban­ ning such txx>ks as Huckleberry Finn and Catcher in the Rye, the “hate speech” decision is a strong support for everyone’s First Amendment rights, not just for those who abuse their rights at the expense of oth­ ers. G>nstitutional rights are an all-or-nothing deal: If you limit what one group can say, you have to limit what another group can say, and soon until no one can speak. Before stu d e n ts start p ro te stin g the Supreme Court's decision, they should keep in mind that without the voice of the minority, the United States is just as worthless as those who use “hate speech Thomas Lindaman, graduate student, Drake U. The Incorrectness of Political Correctness I am a Puerto-Rican A merican, writing specifically regarding your magazine's recent story on the Supreme Court’s ruling against limiting iree speech on college campuses. I am personally in favor of the ruling. I do not feel that any fellow citizen of this country has the right to limit anyone’s speech only to that which is “politically correct." I was especially impressed by the statement m ade by P hilip Suggs of Howard U. (a “Negro” college): “Ignorance behind hate speech does not justify curbing it.” 1 found his insight to be most astute, and a welcome breath of sanity' and moderation in the stag­ nant cesspool of censure so prevalent in American universities today. I understand that my views are hardly “main­ stream” in this day of “openness and toler­ ance.” (I have many times seen views which do not comply with the majority silenced in the classroom.) Nevertheless, 1 feel that it needs to be said. Carlos M. Benitez-Torres, graduate student, U. of Texas, Arlington Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe...

GMAC FINANCIAL SERVICES NEWS&NOTES NEWSBRI EF8 FROM CAMPUSES ACROSS ► Oh give me a home, where the buffaloes roam... I orget tailgating on the back o f a beat-up Escort or slurping brewskies and eggs at a local dive. How about “watergating” with Husky fans at the U. of Washington? O r “H um pin’ It” with students from Texas A&M? It’s college football nirvana—where students will do just about anything for the home team. Like at the U. of Washington. Here students party on waves near their home field. For Washington fans, the civilized boozin’ and cruisin’ on the waters that border Husky Stadium is a class ride. “I t’s a celebratory-type th in g ,” says senior P eter R andall. “College students drink beer all the time — for any reason. This is something special, something different. Husky football games are special events. ” Special enough that students will go all out for their teams. And once the main event begins, those responsible for starting the wave and rallying the troops take control. Mascots like Ralphie of the Colorado Buffaloes bring fan support to new extremes as the spiritual leaders of the college football world. Ralphie III, the fifth buffalo to sport the moniker of “Colorado mascot,” is the pride and joy of Boulder. Following in the hoofsteps of predecessors Mr. Chips and Moon, Ralphie has continued the tradition of leading the Colorado team onto the field at the start o f the game and second half. Part of the introduction includes running toward the visitor’s bench. Intimidation at its finest, Buffalo-style. 1 he ('lorida ( iators don t need a rushing buffalo, though. U. of Florida fans have George Edmondson, a 70-year-old Tampa resident, who rouses the fans with a “two-bits, four-bits, six-bits, a dollar cheer, started some 42 years ago. “When [I] hold up that sign and blow that whistle - 1 can get absolute silence in that stadium. And with a wail of an arm — I can get 85,000 going strong. It’s a real revelation,” he says. Asfoi th< fan participation to end all traditions, try the art of Humpin It at lexas A&M games. In the pre-eminent preparation ofcheering, Aggie spectators assume the position. With back bent forward and hands on their knees, A&M fans are in a stance that allows the loudest possible coordinated yells. They truly are the Einsteins of football fanatics. After the game has ended - victory safely in the home team ’s hands - it’s time to put a capper on the afternoon... with a roll of toilet paper. When the Auburn Tigers conquer an opponent atJordan-H are Stadium, students flock to the com er of College and Magnolia streets to “Roll T i m e r 's ” - wrapping toilet paper around a group of oak trees located across the street from 1 oom er s Pharmacy. While no official organization sponsors the event, it’s a tradition tolerated by the city of A uburn and its police department ’ despite subtle attempts to downplay it. “At times, we’ve tried toquell [the activity ] * says A uburn Police Captain John Iz>ckhart, “but the city finds it harmless and acceptable behavior. It’s an accepted tradition. We don’t condemn it or condone it. It s something that has been here as long as I can rem em ber.” ■ Brian Gallagher, The Pitt News, U. of Pittsburgh Duke early birds catch red-eye courses Freshm en at Duke U. who early th o u g h t m o rn in g classes w ere only .i high s< bool hassle a re g e ttin g a ru d e awakening at (ollege t h i s fall.

Shawn Carter, the 1990 queen, refused to crown Sims. “They did not want another black queen and that was obvious," Carter says. “I hate to say it was a black-white thing, but it is." So administrators put an end to the homecoming court this year.

But if you d o n ’t spend any m oney on training, then you pay that 1 percent into a trust fund, which will he used 100 percent to retrain workers who are going to be t hrown out o f work and who d o n ’t have the skills that they need in the global economy. ¡nosl c o m p a n ie s will n o t pay a n y th in g u n d e r my proposal.

A nd all these o th er countries said line and we said ‘no.’ A nd so we had thought about what kinds o f things we can do to reduce global warming at hom e and around the globe, l et m e ju s t m ention two things; first o f all, I think we should raise the mileage standards on au to m o b iles an d I th ink we sh o u ld convert m o re a u to m o b ile s to b u rn n a tu r a l gas as o p p osed to gasoline.

Most of the job generation in America is from small businesses. So one of the things I have proposed is that we provide a special incentive in our tax code, a long-term ( apital gains tax for people who invest in small msinesses. If you hold the investment for five years, then you would pay taxes on only half the norm al gain. That will enco urage peo p le to flow money into business ventures as opposed to short-term financial m anipulation. I think that s very im portant.

TI , . ■. * * . President Bush gets personal about his views on education, abortion, the econom y and addresses the concerns o f an ‘important audience.’ President George Hush talked Sept. 8 with three editors from U. T he National College Magazine — Mark Chamock, Kristi McDowell and Jackie Spinner. In a 20-minute telephone interview from the White House, Hush addressed the concerns of what he calls “a very important audience." The following are excerpts pom that conversation: Q: (allege students now more than ei>er are concerned A: Well, I think we’ve already started. W e’ve had five consecutive quarters o f growth — anemic growth at best — but nevertheless there are five consecutive quarters... But nationally... we’re in a slow, anemic growth. I’ve got to be very careful on predictions — but I believe that certainly next calendar year is gonna be much more robust on its economic growt h.... we should be getting credit instead o f criticism for education funding being substantially higher. Having said that, in the long run the answer is going to be literally revolutionizing o u r K to 12 education system — not our college system, which is u n iq u e and th e best, I think, in th e en tire world. People still com e flocking to the United States for graduate degrees, but I think we’ve got to d o m ore in K through 12 and th a t’s why we have th is p ro g ra m America 2000. U about getting a job when they graduate. What, during your.second term, do you plan to do to improve students' chances of getting a job when they graduate and make sure their college investment will pay off? a n d A: W ell, in the first place, the economy has been miserable, but in my view it's poised for a strong recovery. I.et me just click off a couple of things that I talk about. T h e M isery In d e x is down to 10.8 percent — used to be 21 — let’s see a b o u t 19.6. T h a t ’s in fla tio n u n ­ employment, so they’re rela tiv e ly g o o d co m p ared to what it’s been. Inflation is down to a b o u t 3 p e r c e n t — th e low est in ages. Interest rates are down and u nem ploym ent is still far to o high. But t lie s h a re o f w o rk in g age p o p u la tio n w ith jo b s my d u rin g is a d m in is tra tio n literally average, 62.2 [percent], which is the highest in U.S. history, and I cite this because all we hear about is how bad the economy is. Q: Speaking o f the K through 12 program, should government fund student education at public colleges and universities in the same ways as K through 12... to p ut them on a level playing field? A: No Q: Why not ? A: We d o have a high level o f p e o p le a tte n d in g c o lle g e — perhaps the highest in o u r h isto ry — b u t I d o n ’t believe that the g o v e rn m e n t has th e re so u rc e s to pay fo r e v e ry b o d y ’s e d u c a ­ tion at the high level. A nd I th in k th e re be to o u g h t c o m p e titio n in e d u c a tio n just like th e re is in p riv a te se c to r w ork, a n d I, th erefo re, th in k that private colleges have a place, pu b lic univer­ sities have a place, but I d o n ’t believe that the g o v e rn m e n t has en o u g h reso u rces to gu aran tee everybody will have [a college] education paid. What we are doing is doing far b e tte r in term s o f g ra n ts Pell a n d Tm not saying everything is perfect. I am saying that we should he getting credit instead of criticism for education funding being substantially higher.” A n d in my view — w ith ra te s in te re s t down, inflation down, th e f lu ff a n d th e fat w o rk ed o u t o f th e c o rp o ra tio n s — now I think we re poised for a very strong recovery, which offers a lot o f hope, particularly to college grads. And the reason I say ‘particularly’ is most a re b e in g e d u c a te d fo r th e fu tu r e . Most understand that the courses should prepare us to be the most competitive nation in the world. We are already the largest exporter... therein lies th e big success a n d th e big jo b g row th opportunity. So, one, things have been too slow, but I would say that this global economy, which has been in recession, is changing. We’ve had five consecutive quarters of growth and as that growth becomes m ore vigorous the jo b market will be m uch m ore robust. So tell ’em not to despair and the education, of course, is the key to o ne’s economic future. Q: So i f I was to tell them not to despair Mr. President, when do you think that wage turn will happen ? / mean I know ymi don't have a crystal Ixdl for predicting those types ojthings, but if based on these indicators and based on rising growth, that kind of thing, when doymi think we're gonna make the turn? U. THE NATIONAL COLLEGE MAGAZINE OCTOBER 1992 Q: What specific plans or proposals do you have for higher education and its funding during your second term? A: Well, let me say 1 take great pride in the fact that o u r funding under, for exam ple, the Pell grants is substantially up. Now most people say, ‘Why have you cut funding to higher education?’ And the answer is that we have gotten it at the highest level it’s been at. I d o n ’t have the exact figures, but the increases in the maximum Pell g ra n t aw ards fo r low a n d m id d le in co m e students went from $2,400 to $3,700 — the largest one-year increase in history. I d o n ’t think the A m erican p e o p le know th at. It’s true. W e’ve ex p an d ed the eligibility for Pell grants to less than half-time students — for promoting life-long learning. It’s my view that some who are in the work place oughtta have access to these kinds of grants. A nd we’re allowing almost all families and students to qualify for a student loan. So I’m not saying everything is perfect. I am saying that Q: Mr. President, the environment is a key concern scholarships. among college students. A: Oh, heck yes. Q: What specific proposals again and changes do you plan on making in terms ofenvironmental'.policy to yirur second term and how does that relate to, let's say, the New World (hder that you ve (mtlined as well? A: Well, in the first place we are the global le a d e r on the e n v iro n m en t. It is the U nited States to whom everybody looks for the science is a b s o lu te ly e s se n tia l fo r s o u n d th a t environm ental policy. Very candidly, we have d o n e far more th a n any a d m in is tra tio n on wilderness, for example. We have done m ore on the EPA enforcing existing environm ental law. We've revolutionized the ('.lean Ait Act... and we re doing well on emissions. We’re trying to Continued on Page 16 breakdowns in the families and I just really worry ab ou t abortions where a ch ild can g e t an a b o r t i o n w ith o u t parental consent when that child can’t even get an aspirin in som e schools without parental consent. So I have a very clear view in my mind, and you’re p ro b a b ly rig h t; i t ’s n o t a p o p u l a r position. But in this office from which I m speaking to you, you have to make decisions that aren’t popular. And so 1 don t know w hether my position will he Ip or hurt in the final analysis, but it com es fro m the h e a rt a n d it com es from watching in horror the numbers b e in g of performed.... a b o r t i o n s th a t are Q I f you had to outline the differences - y o u 'v e o u tlin e d several here in term s o f talking about the difference'betiveen yourself a n d C.overnor Clinton - w hat do you offer the 18 -to -2 4 -yea r-o ld m a rk e t th a t B ill Clinton does n o il A: Well, I’d say one: most 18-to-20-year- o ld s have h e r e t o f o r e very b e e n m u c h c o n ­ cerned about nuclear war. I th a t t h in k p a r t i c - u l a r group over the ages - literally over the last decades - have been more worried about that than any other group because it’s their planet, their life as they look at it. A n d I w o u ld say b e c a u s e o f o u r leadership, the fear of nuclear war is far less than it was. I also think there’s a keen interest in the future, and I think o u r environmental policy and our education policies will r e s o n a te out th e r e o nce people understand we’ve got them. I also think when f talk about family values and strength of American families - f amilies free from crime in the neighborhood or families free to choose where they want their kids to go to school or families free to choose child care for th e ir kids or families that are going to see a welfare reform p r o g r a m - all o f these things designed to strengthen the family. I think young people have an interest in that. I think they are quite family-oriented and so w hen I talk a b o u t th o s e k in d s o f c h an ges, which would re su lt in safer n e i g h b o r h o o d s a n d s o u n d e r family practices, I believe that will have a strong appeal. But the biggest one - the biggest one of all — is what I was talking about in tt i ms of jo b s a n d that s where we get back in to o u r e d u c a t i o n , o u r job r e tra in in g . A n d I would just ask that ev eryb od y tak e a h a r d look at the differences on my training program on whether taxing and spending is the way to create jo b s in the private sector, or whether less government spending and less taxes is the way to provide jobs.

Q: What do you count as your biggest tnumph during your term, and what do you count as your worst mistake with regards to high/r education and other issues? Q: College students seem to be able to identify with this ticket a lot more than the Bush/Quayle ticket just simply from an age standpoint and the way that you've gone, after that market... M 1 1 ... those types o f things that are directly targeted to college students. What do you feel that you offer the 18-to-24-year-old market that may, because of family values err whatever- else, have college students and that market estranged to the Republican ticket ? A: I m really concerned about the things th at are a ffe c tin g you ng p e o p le . A n d I care m ore about their future. And I think you know the conversation I had on the M I \ in te rv ie w w ith th e guy who had AIDS. I ’ve spent a lot o f time with people with AIDS. I'm concerned about it. I want to m ake a d ifference there. I think that a lot o f young people sense that I’ve tried to le a rn . I ’ve trie d to put m yself in th e ir shoes. I’ve tried to get a real feel fo r the things that are grip p ing th eir lives now, and I m m u ch m o re c o n c e r n e d a b o u t their future. I do n ot want your generation to be part o f the first group o f Am ericans to do worse than th eir parents. And I do not believe it has to be that way. But I think my generation owes you better than you’ve b ee n g e ttin ’ . Y ou know? But I see this election, in part, as an opportunity fo r the generation that A1 G ore and I grew up in, which was the most prosperous generation of A m ericans in history, to create a world o f o p p ortu n ity fo r you. It’s a very heavy re s p o n s ib ility . I re a lly fe e l it in a very personal way, n o t only b ecau se I have a d a u g h t e r h u t b e c a u s e I hav e h a d a wonderful life and I feel that I owe it to my country to provide that to people com ing along behind me if I can. (¿: You brought up AIDS, what specifically would you do to handle it as a physical concern, but also as a social issue with a stigma attached to it? A: Well, num ber one, 1 would talk about it a lot more. I think the president has got to g e t th e c o u n tr y c o m f o r t a b le w ith talking about it and dealing with it. Y ou’ve g o t to g e t p e o p le th in k in g a b o u t it. N um ber two, I would put o n e person in charge of fighting the battle against AIDS. Som e one person who could cut across the b u r e a u c r a tic lin e s o f all th e d iffe r e n t agencies that deal with it. T h e third thing I w ould d o is to at le a s t im p le m e n t th e r e c o m m e n d a tio n s o f th e s e two A ID S c o m m is s io n s . I w o u ld fu n d th e R yan White Health Act at a higher level so you can do m ore research and treatm ent. And fin a lly , I th in k y o u ’ve g o t to have an aggressive, aggressive e ffo r t to ch a n g e p e o p le ’s behavior. Y o u ’ve got to go into th e se sch o o ls, in th e h e alth e d u c a tio n program and try to keep these kids alive. I hat s what I think we should do. A: \ call. Well, I think clearly the biggest triu m p h is th e c h a n g e s t a k i n ’ p la c e aro u n d th e world. And when you see a reunified Germany, when you see ancient enem ies talking peace to each oth er in the Middle East — which nobodv dream ed was possible — when you see the collap se o f the Soviet Em pire, when you see countries south of o u r bord er almost all going the d e m o c r a t ic r o u te , w h en you s e e th e e x p a n sio n o f o u r e x p o rts sales, w hich m eans b e tte r in tern atio n al trad e, w e’ve got a lot to celebrate in that whole area o f fr e e d o m an d d e m o c r a c y a n d fr e e markets.

By the time the trees have shed their leaves, the studios usually have exhausted their tired inventory of mind-numb­ ing summer sequels, mega-million dollar mar­ keting vehicles and action flicks starring mus­ cle-laden, accented martial arts experts who couldn’t breathe life into a line of dialogue if Lee Strasberg beat them to death with an acting stick. Even if the autumn offerings aren’t as highbrow as, say, Bufjy the Vampire Slayer, the majority should offer some sort of mental stim­ ulation to patrons who don’t have to be accom­ panied by an adult to an R-rated picture. Of Mice and Men (Metro Goldwyn Mayer) Adding a distinct literary touch to the offerings this fall is this adaptation of John Steinbeck’s tragic novel. Jo h n Malkovich plays the feeble­ m inded Le n n ie , and G ary Sinise, who also directs, plays his more competent companion, George. For those o f you who haven’t made it to the library and don’t plan on picking up the Cliffs Notes, George is to Lennie what Charlie is to Rain Man. Two-time Academy Award win­ ner H orton Foote adapted the screenplay. H a v in g done Tender Mercies and To K ill A Mockingbird, Foote’s no slouch in the rewrite department. Glengarry Glen Ross (New Line Cinema) Playwright David Mamet, who brought us the brilliant House o f frames—a sordid slice of life on the grift — has adapted his Pulitzer Prize-win­ ning masterpiece for the screen and delves into an equally seamy world with a different kind of husder: the real estate salesman. Mamet writes rhythmically perfect staccato prose, the thinking man’s gutter talk with p ro fanity in all the right places. He has one of the best ears in the biz, espe­ cially when portraying a recession-affected real estate office, where the salesmen are desperate enough to put their wives on the auction block fo r the sales leads th a t’ll win them an E l Dorado. The heavy-hitting cast includes A1 Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin and Alan Arkin.

He reunites with director Irwin Winkler ( Guilty by Suspicion) and co-star Jessica Lange (Cape Fear), making a promising trifecta from Tribeca Producdons, with enough Academ y Awards among them to make for some fairly heady decoradve statements on the mande. The Public Eye (Universal) Film noir and Jo e Pesci - not exactly flashcard fodder in a game of free associadon. A spit-fire time bomb like Pesci doesn’t seem like an obvi­ ous choice for a genre characterized by reluc­ tant, slightly in-the-dark protagonists. But true Pesci fans, from his Scorsese origins, will give thanks to the powers up high that he decided to take a break from squandering his talents as the light-hearted foil opposite that pasty-faced C ulkin kid or in the endless saga o f Lethal Weaponry. Here he plays the eccentric tabloid photogra­ pher Leon “The Great Bem zini” Bernstein in 1942 New York, with a lust for the dark side and for Barbara Hershey, who plays an unattainable nightclub owner. Consenting Adults (Hollywood Pictures) Here’s a new spin for swingers who feel like get­ ting out of the house and going across the yard. Kevin Kline and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio are the cover couple for suburban bourgeois until they get sucked into the fast lane by their new neighbors, played by Kevin Spacey and Rebecca Miller. K line develops a taste for thy neighbor’s wife and later is accused o f having an affair and killing her, putting his own pre­ cious family in jeopardy. T h a t’s when w e’re strapped in for an explosive ride through the I unnel of Cliché.

In September, the 26-year-old’s comedic production The Ben Stiller Show m s scheduled to premier in the same time slot as long-standing ratings behemoth 60 Minutes. But Stiller, whose weekly show is on the Fox network, has no qualms about the competition and says he knows what he's up against. Some nights III fantasize about ‘Oh wow, The Ben Stiller Show. My career’s made. I’ll be a star,”’ he says. “And other nights I think, ‘60 Minutes, let’s face it.’” But while the Sunday prime time slot is tough, Stiller says it shows Fox is targeting a young audience. “I think that college-age people will see it as an alternative to what’s on at that hour,” he says. “It’s definitely a new type of show. It’s very different.” On the program, Stiller plays everyone from himself to Eddie Munster and Bruce Springsteen. “It’s a show within a show,” Stiller says. “The idea is that I host the show from my apartment, and every week I’m trying to get these skits and short films on the air." Many of the comedy bits are parodies of films and other TV programs. Imagine, for instance, Eddie Munster as the antagonist of the cinematic thriller Cape Fear or an episode of Cops, set in Salem, Mass., in 1640. The show also features Stiller’s original characters, including a marriage counselor who always sides with the husband and a Hollywood agent who advises Roseanne and Tom Arnold to quit now while their careers are hot. ■ Dan Nissila, Daily Barometer, Oregon State U. video calendar A brief look at October releases Criss Cross, MGM, Sept. 30; Falling From Grace, Columbia, Sept. 30; My Cousin Vinny, Fox, Oct. 1; Gladiator, Columbia, Oct. 7; Children of the Night, Columbia, Oct. 7; Straight Talk, Disney, Oct. 7; Snake Eater 3, Paramount, Oct. 8; Desert Kickboxer, HBO, Oct. 14; Basic Instinct, Live, Oct. 14; Thunderheart, Columbia, Oct. 14; Critters 4, Columbia, Oct 14- Newsies, Disney, Oct. 14; Cutting Edge, MGM, Oct. 21; K2 — The Ultimate High, Paramount!

TH E N A T IO N A L CO LLEGE M AGAZINE OCTOBER 1992 Tim Robbins9 latest has perfect tim in gfor an im perfect p o litic a l system ini Robbins was pissed off when he wrote the screenplay for Bob Roberts. F le was frustrated with an apathetic American public, all too willing to let p o litician s talk dow n to th e ir lowest com m on d e n o m in a to r. He was disturbed by a “dangerous” shift to the right in American politics. So he wrapped up everything he despised about politics, gave it a down- home smile, dressed it in a blue suit and red tie and created Bob Roberts: a folk-singing, ultra-conservative, self-made m illionaire cam paigning for a Pennsylvania senatorial seat. He then steered the project through Hollywood, starred in the title role and directed it himself. And he did it all in the hope that his satire could scare the audience enough to do one simple thing—vote. I he system is not working. T he reason the system is not working is the politicians aren t representing us; they are representing the money that got them there, the money that paid for their campaigns,” says the 33-year-old Robbins. “T hat’s all the m ore reason for Americans to get out and vote.” And all the m ore reason to see the film. A com pelling satire, directed in pseudo- docum entary style, Bob Rofmts is a true tour-de-force - som ething Hollywood always claims to produce but rarely does. And it just might be the flick to make Robbins, if not a household name, at least a < of i Robbins also earned considerable critical acclaim this sum m er for his portrayal of the sleazy movie mogul in The Player. Robbins isn’t in show business for the fame though; he wants much more. Born into a annly of social activists, he remembers his sistei s arrest for protesting the Vietnam War when he was 11. He says his parents made him aware o f individual responsibility. Inspired by that responsibility and his frustration with the political system Robbins began writing Bob Roberts in 1986. “I think generally I write best when I’m angry ” Robbins says. I ve seen a lot of things happening to America, and this shift to the right 1 think it s dangerous.” 6 In spite o f his f ear of the right, d o n ’t call Robbins left. Robbins says he doesn’t align himself with one party and basa problem calling himself a “conservative” o r a “liberal." he u suit of labels is ultimately a divisive one, som ething that keeps... a liberal a liberal, a conservative a conservative. T here doesn’t seem to be any com m on ground and that s am ply not true. I think that there’s evidence to this in the rise o f Perot,” he says. ’ I d o n ’t see how anything is being achieved by putting labels on people.” Robbins, who insists he isn't endorsing a presidential candidate, says it doesn’t matter w ho s in the race. "I have been encouraging people to vote, regardless of w ho’s running lot president, he says. "I think it’s im portant for people to vote. People tend not to vote because they’re disgusted with the process. [But] there is so m u ch m o re o n th e b a llo t th a n w h o ’s r u n n in g fo r p re s id e n t. T h e re are local referendums. 1 >o you want a toxic waste dum p in your neighborhood? No. I d o n ’t. You < an vote foi it. \ ou can empower your community.” And Bob Roberts, a scathing portrayal of the American dream gone awry, may be a way to m ake vo ters seek th a t e m p o w e rm e n t. T h ro u g h th e c h a ra c te r o f R o b erts, a 22 Tim Robbins plays a right-wing rebel running for Senate in the movie Bob Roberts. Republican w hose political beliefs fall somewhere between those o f Richard Nixon and Adolf Hitler, Robbins exposes the often inarte patter of campaign politics. i , U ' i w a .he,P. ° f an intell'gent election team - including his campaign m anager Lukas 1 *'* (Alan Rickman) and public relations director Chet M acGregor (Ray Wise), Roberts turns his nearly fascist folk songs into smash-hit, rallying anthems. They’ll stop at nothing to get Roberts elected. A nd, of cou rse, g ettin g elected today m eans d estroy ing th e o p p o n e n t - little challenge for Roberts’ henchmen. Pennsylvania incum bent Sen. Brickley Paiste played by politician/author Gore Vidal, is the target. I hiough the character of Paiste, Vidal, who ran unsuccessfully for Congress in I960 and for the Senate in 1982, offers a stark contrast to Roberts’ flamboyance. But Paiste’s liberal views and a scandal contrived by Roberts’ crafty team seal his failure at the polls t s symptomatic o f politicians today, Robbins says. “ [Paiste] is an American tragedy,” he says. I lere s an ineffectual liberal who is finally saying something, but it’s too late.” In the en d, Paiste is n o m atch fo r R oberts. T h ro u g h his charism atic interviews, Roberts sells his family-oriented, soldier-in-the-war-on-drugs platform to adults. A nd he even tut ns youthful voters on to his selective prejudices and blatant discriminations. But h e does it with a smile and a song. Indeed, part o f the fun o f Bob Roberts is, without question, its music. While often hum orous (and always offensively corny), the songs could get an entire party convention singing and dancing in the aisles. W ritten by Robbins and his b ro th er David, each tune is laced with a strong ultra- conservative message. T h ere’s a guilty pleasure in the tunes, from the opening chords of W hat Did die 1 eacher fell You,” a song about the illegality o f school prayer, to “Wall Street Rap, a riotous takeoff of Bob Dylan’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues.” But catchy as they are, d o n ’t expect to catch the Roberts’ songs on MTV’s Buzz Bin, 1 )espite the commercial nature o f show business and its tendency to mass produce every movie soundtrack, Robbins wouldn’t consider m arketing the music from Bob Roberts. Fie even went so far as to have it w ritten in to his c o n tra c t th a t th e re w o u ld n ’t be a soundtrack release.“I d o n ’t want to hear th em ,” he says. “I d o n ’t want to be driving along five years from now and hear any o f these songs. ” But he may be forced to watch the film on cable perhaps four, 12 or 20 years down the road. Like R obert R edford’s '70s political slam, The Candidate, Bob Roberts may well become a cable IV Old Faithful - rolling around every presidential campaign when voter frustrations again boil to the surface. Despite his skepticism of the political system, Robbins says hope is not lost. If voters start getting inform ed, taking initiative and exercising the simplest tool in politics - the voting b o o th - he believes things cou ld change. But, he says, it w on’t h a p p e n if Americans continue to sit at hom e, eating nachos and watching the election returns. ‘Unfortunately, what happens when they do that is they make themselves im potent in tins society. r l fHE NATIONAL COLLIGE MAGAZINE OCTOBER 1992 y I R W I N W IN K L E R € Om /M EM AI K AMERICA'S FUTURE DEPENDS ON AMERICA'S VOTERS A non-partisan project of the Vote America Foundation.

Free For AU explores different territories its in g e n io u s as re m a in s as yet predecessor. I ike the previous album .

Free for All is i ich in the influences o f folk icons like Phil Ochs and Joh n Prine, who left a m arked im pact on the young songwriter. Michael Penn: His friends call him ‘unusual/ His music confirms it. And P en n ’s words, too, are rich in the world from which he draws his lyrics — “books, o th e r p eo p le’s lives who I know and who I read about and my own life.” The album really is a free-for-all when it com es to w hat P en n reveals a b o u t his com er of t he world. I ike the track “B unker Mill” in which Penn writes afx>ut the Lx>s Angeles riots. “You can run away from things that are g o in g on [in L os A n g e le s ], b u t i t ’ll eventually catch up with you,” Penn says. “But the amazing thing alxmt L..A. is that it ’s so many environments that you can be close to that, and you can lie in that and feel it every single day, and then decide you need to get away for a moment and be a b le to fin d a p la c e w h e re y o u ’re completely away from it all.” Like Penn’s song writing, really. It’s here that Penn prefers isolation — a problem , though, while on tour for his last album. “The problem for me was that I was out for such a long time on tour, and I found that I couldn’t write on the road, which was sort of a drag of a revelation,” Penn recalls. “And so it was an amazing seven months on o n e level b u t n o t to o rew arding on ano ther level from the standpoint of not being able to write." F.ventually, Penn got back to his world of solitude. And Free For AUc ante forth. “During the last record, I put pressure on myself to make a great album ,” he says. “But maybe it had som ething to do with getting signed. After being at (music) long enough to be so cynical, by the lime I got a record deal, 1 was sort o f locked in the way I did everything." P en n , a fte r all, has b een playing his music for some time now. He first was inspired to l>e a musician as a young boy, Penn says. He played a bit o f p ia n o , actually, but g u ita r becam e his instrument of choice. P ia n o “w a sn ’t as re w a rd in g as th e guitar,” he says. By 1981, w hen h e fo rm e d th e Los Angeles-based band, Doll Congress, Penn was well versed in guitar. Even though the group showed promise and had a loyal fan base, it broke up after five years. But. while still with the band, Penn met Warren and Berg, the pair with whom he eventually collaborated o n his albums. It’s a m usical u n io n w ith w hich P enn a n d respective f riends are [»leased. “They’re two o f my closest friends, and we sort of just all get together in the studio and have a really great tim e,” Penn says. “It’s a rewarding experience.” Berg seems to think so, t. “D uring som e p o in t in the m iddle o f [pnxhicing] the record was my birthday,” Berg recalls. “And Michael tkfourof my p et p eev es, w hich a re clow ns, c ig a rs, whistling and pennies and rented a clown sm oking a cigar with a bag o f pen n ies, whistling. So th a t’s the kind o f friend he is.” And the kind of musician, t(x>. P e n n ’s m usic, a fte r all, h as b eco m e anything but p red ictab le, which is fine w ith him as long as you d o n ’t try to stuff his sound into a category like “alternative.” “Anything that is labeled ‘alternative’ is becoming less and less alternative,” Penn says. “It’s like w hen p u n k becam e new wave and it suddenly got all cleaned up, nice and tidy.” N ot like P e n n , w ho B erg p ro u d ly describes as “unusual.” “What a lot of people d o n ’t know is that |P e n n ’s) enam ored with arcane religions and kind o f quasi-religions," Berg says. “He has studied them both quite a bit, and he’s well-read in Rosicrucian and Masonic literature. “Basically, he's created his own view of the universe.” A nd though Berg is hesitant to define P e n n ’s view o f the universe for him , you can be sure that if it’s anything like his song writing, Perm’s view of the world is a keen one, undoubtedly a little strange and particularly sacred to Michael Penn. by KRISTY LARSON, Chicago Flame, U. o f Illinois, Chicago I» U .T H E NATIONAL COLLEGE MAGAZINE OCTOBER 1992 In 1992 a battleship’s been x>taged by nuclear pirates out to steal its warheads, led by terrorists, a lone man stands with a deadly plan of attack iNASsoctAiiotiw iiH REBENCY ENTERPRISES.

Can the boys from Georgia mana§ ? • After a publicity binge for Out of Time, R.E.M. Peter Buck talks about making it big the hard way e to stay on top - whether they like it or not? hen R.E.M. fans glanced at the Billboard Charts last year, what they found there was a bit disturbing. P erched on top o f the w orld, sh arin g the lofty c o m m e rc ia l h ea v en s w ith th e likes o L M ich ael Bolton, Paula A bdul and A n o th er Bad C reation, was their band. R.E.M. — the greatest college group ever — was no longer alternative. They were huge. T o longtime disciples, it may have seem ed like the end o f the world as they knew it. But they also knew The Southern Band with The Three-Letter Name from Athens, Ga., h a d n ’t sold out to get there. Their band had just kept on being R.E.M. until everyone else caught on. A nd someday, for sure, R.E.M. would return to the dark, brooding sounds of their past. They would produce a commercially unm arketable album that would alienate the MTV-heads — som ething with lots o f strings and lethargic bass lines and introspective lyrics. Som ething like the b an d ’s latest release, Automatic For The People. “Shiny Happy People” it is not. And th a t’s just fine with Peter Buck, band guitarist and torch-bearer o f the R.E.M. sound. Buck, who lounged comfortably in a plush office on the 20th floor of Tim e W arner’s New York building in late August, does not look like a typical T op 40 band m em ber; nor does he like to think of him self as one. Lazily clad in jeans, a black T-shirt and a jean jacket, Buck stretched out, his m op of unkem pt black hair hanging from his head like kelp trying to keep its grasp on a rock. He insists R.E.M.’s sudden superstardom has not tarnished the true m ettle o f its m em bers. Bill Berry (drum s), Mike Mills (bass), Michael Stipe (vocals) and Buck still are the same they were before Time sold 9 million copies. But while fm gercom bing his tangled tresses, he co n tem p lated the difference between R.E.M. and their chartmates. “I like to think our fans tend to put a little bit more o f themselves into our music than say, your fan of Paula Abdul or som ething,” Buck says. “ [T op 40 acts] are kind o f like e n te rta in m e n t w here w h at’s on the surface is exactly what they are — catchy little dance tunes. People d o n ’t want ambiguity in lyrics, and in terms o f rock ’n ’ roll, [R.E.M.] is very difficult.” Take Out o f Time, for instance. “I m ean, it’s a good record, but 1 d o n ’t know if any album deserves to sell 9 or 10 million. From a crass m arketing level, there h a d n ’t been a good rock n ’ roll album in years. Every record that was a hit, for years, was dance stuff. Part o f it was timing. I mean, we got everybody.” “Everybody” in clu d e d n o t only R.E.M .’s A m erican fans b ut also overseas R.E.Maniacs (one of the bonuses from the b and ’s recent switch to W arner Bros, was better overseas distribution). And when Buck, Stipe, Berry and Mills decided not to tour and instead to launch a massive six-month media blitzkrieg, they found themselves on the cover o f Rolling Stone, Unplugged on MTV and on num erous European “weird oddball little Ed Sullivan-type shows o r teen-age dance, party-type shows,” where the band, on one occasion, shared a stage w ith a clown. “We’d get on the show, and there’d be this lb-year-old kid lip-synching to his latest disco ballad, and then we’d come on and play and then they’d have some rap group come on and lip-synch and they’d have two girls dancing in a d ance contest — all in D u tch,” Buck recalls. “We were just sitting at these shows thinking, ‘God, this is weird.’” But worse things have happened to R.E.M. than being on a Dutch I’V’ show with a clown. In 1985, the group almost disbanded. O n the road nine m onths of a year, R.E.M. took two weeks off at Christmas, then rehearsed for two m onths, immediately m aking a new album.

THE NATIONAL COLLEGI MAGAZINE (XTTORER 1992 or four months, then takes a m onth off before returning to the studio, an arrangm ent that seems to work. In fact, it’s been working so well that R.E.M. is fast becoming the Steely Dan o f the ’90s — holing itself up like rabbits in the studio w ithout even em erging to tour. Buck, who dislikes long tours, says he would like to tu rn o u t an album every 12 o r 16 m onths. G reat news for CD collectors. Bad news for concert- goers. But no one can com plain about m ore music. A nd Automatic is by no m eans the autom atic follow-up to Time. D ue o u t O ct. 6, Automatic is a “d ark so u n d in g , d isc o rd an t record” that features the A tlanta Symphony on strings and Knox C h an d ler (of the Psychedelic Furs) on cello on several tracks. A lthough the album carries som e tru e rock ’n ’ roll num bers, most o f it harkens back to Time's “Low” and even further back to Document. Automatic is an album stalwart R.E.M. fans will appreciate and those lured to Green and Time by their pop characteristics might not. But isn’t changing your sound drastically after your most successful album biting the hand that feeds you? Buck doesn’t seem to think so. “W e’re ju st trying to push whatever R.E.M. is as far as it can go,” Buck says. “I d o n ’t expect the next record to sell as many copies as Time, but it is a strong record songwise. If it doesn’t sell :is many copies, that’s fine. 1 mean, musical careers have ups and downs, and so far ours have all been u p .” But th e band is in no hurry, really, to take Automatic on the road. art. “We want to wait until we really want to tour [before we d o ],” Buck says. “Eveiyone keeps talking about how m uch money we could be m aking, but I d o n ’t want to go o u t and just milk the audience for money just to do it. W hen we to u r again, it’ll be because we really want to and we’ll be excited about it. I ca n ’t think o f anything m ore bo rin g th an going o u t and playing if everyone’s not reallv ready to.” First and foremost, Buck says, it’s crucial for the band to love its “I ju s t never w ant to g et to the p o in t w here I ’m just going through the m otions,” he says. “This started out being what we loved doing. We do it for fun and if it’s not som ething you want to do, I c a n ’t im agine how it would com e across. T h e re ’s a lot of difference between what you p ut your heart and soul into and t he stuff you just d o .” Buck says th e g ro u p may wait to finish yet a n o th e r album (which he predicts will be “noisy rock ’n ’ roll”) before touring, so they can have three records w orth of m aterial n o t played live, hitting the road with som ething new'. “Keeping the band fresh is still the main challenge,” he says. a c h a lle n g e , n o n e th e le ss, th e b a n d looks m o re th a n c ap ab le o f “T h ere’s always new places to go,” he insists. “W e’re kind o f like on a road without a map and we’re ju st going and wherever we end up is where we end up, and each record is like the motel for the night.” Stereo Catalog In 100 pages, you'll see the latest in home and car stereos, video and telephones.

"It was after I found out what type of car it was that it hit me," says Scott Johnson, winner of a new Buick Skylark Gran Sport. Johnson enters other contests with regularity but has never hit the jackpot like he did with his recent prize. "You always win a movie poster or sweat bands or something like that, but you never win anything of value," Johnson says. Kerry O'Brien, winner of a 1992 G eo Storm , was happy to be a winner because she lost her car a week earlier in an accident. "Two weeks earlier a drunken driver had totaled my car," she says. I wasn't sure how true it was, but [the annou ncem ent letter] came certified mail. It was really, really cool," she adds. G rand Prize w inner, Steve Kaluzny, won a 1992 Oldsmobile Achieva.
