PhiMu .starts chapter

By Laura O'Connor Old Gold and Black Reporter

In the midst of workers repainting the woodwork of Reynolda Hall and con­struction crews laying the foundation for the classroom building the campus com­munity is also getting its own addition.

Last year, the Panhellenic CoWlcil de­cided that the Wliversity needed another sorority to compensate for the growing number, of women who .are joining .the Greek system. As a result, the council; .as· well as the rest of the Greek community, yoted to let Phi Mu sorority join.

"Each chapter invited girls to see the three sororities that we were deciding between. And every Greek person chose PhtMu," senior Kate Hershey, the presi­'dent of Panhellenic said. "We decided two or three years ago to increase the

• number of sororities because there were a growing number of girls in each pledge class."

Formed in 1852 at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Ga., Phi Mu is the nation's second oldest sorority. The or­ganization now consists of more than 150,000 women. The Phi Mu mascot is a lion, and the colors are rose and white. Les Souers Fidel, the Faithful Sisters, is its motto. _ This week, Phi Mu hosted two infor­mational parties, which allowed inter­ested girls to talk to other Phi Mus. Also, some girls were invited by the chapter to join the sorority.

What can university's student body expect from the Student Government administration for the 1998-99 school year? Well, plenty of''visibility and accessibil­ity," according to junior Susie Eggers, the president of SG.

Two main strides being taken are the utilization of the Public Relations Committee, formerly known as the Student Relations Committee, and increased com­mWlication with administration.

Plans include relaying an internal perspective through weekly editorials by SG executive officers, door-to­door surveys and "Stall-Street Journals"-a more effi­cient way to spend your bathroom time.

Eggers said that to ensure that one's voice is heard, a student should "be an active constituent." Through such outlets as the Wake TV show "Voice of the Deacons" and suggestions boxes, Eggers hopes to propagate more student involvement.

Also, continuing from last year will be Executive Advisory Committees and focus groups.

Focus groups consist of a handful of students (picked specifically or by random sample), expressing their thoughts on campus and academic life. It is a time for students to "rap" with SG leaders on such things as being a transfer or international student.

University creates new cheering group for football team By Cedron Williams

Contributing Reporter

Led by student suggestion, the Sports Marketing Department decided to create a new cheering section: the "Deac Freaks."

The Deac Freaks were partly inspired by the completion of the new Bridger Field

House and by the large interest in univer­sity athletic programs.

Suggestions by students and student groups such as the Freakin' Deacons helped the Sports Marketing Department design cheering group that better suits student in­terest.

Students were concerned because they

wanted to support the athletic teams not only at home games but at away games also.

Therefore, Sports Marketing has arranged to transport and provide tickets for the Deac Freaks to go to one away game

This year the Deac Freaks will go to the N.C. State game.

Senior Sedric Jackson is the president of

both the Deac Freaks and the Screamin' Demons, the cheering group for basketball games.

He said that now students do not need to struggle through the whole year to keep membership in a cheering group.

Music department opens new lounge in Scales "' "' . :~'.

By Cedron Williams Contributing Reporter

With hope of encouraging student-fac­ulty interaction and intellectual develop­ment as outlined in the Undergraduate Plan, the department of music opened a new lounge in the Scales Fine Arts Center Sept. I.

into a spacious lounge with comfortable furniture and stereo equipment.

Approximately 50 people can be accom­modated comfortably and it is suited to entertain. Posters of well-known musicians and orchestras were donated by music fac­ulty and the Secrest Artist Series.

"(The new music lounge) turned out beHer than any of us could have

imagined. We got what we wanted."

In the summer of 1996, an idea about a music lounge was mentioned to David Levy, a professor and the chairman of music, who suggested that students and faculty submit a proposal to construct a lounge.

John Anderson, the vice president for finance and administration, and the Student Life Committee reviewed and accepted the proposal.

After Radomski cut the ribbon at the ceremoriy, there were brief perfonnances & by several music students, including the ~ following:junior Anne Kasab, senior Rob- ·q ert Shaw, senior Holly Miller and Click. i.

Babcock program appoints director

By Tim MacPhail Old Gold and Black Reporter

Continuing to build its program in entrepreneurial studies, the Babcock Graduate. School of Man­agement recently named Stahley W. Mandel the director of the new Center for Entrepreneurship and Family Business.

Mandel was previously the di­rector of the Family Business Ini­tiative at the University of South Dakota School ofBusiness. He said that the new formal entrepreneur­ship program is the culmination of years of activity at the Babcock school in the area.

Internships and field study pro­grams in small businesses have been available for several years for MBA students, and the school will con­tinue to give students these oppor­tunities through grants given by several institutions. More than $166,000 has been donated to the school to fund summer internships for 15 students.

The Kauffman Center for Entre­preneurial Leadership, the Price Foundation and the Angell Foun­dation have been the largest contributors to the internship pro­grams.

Mandel said that the program will bring several new initiatives to the Babcock school, including a coop­erative technology venture with the Wake Forest University Bowman Gray School of Medicine.

"(The program) is a great oppor­tunity (for students) to be involved in new high-tech start-up situa­tions," Mandel said.

The Babcock school also will host a conference involving two of the country's most prominent informa-

largest corporations in the country."

tion technology companies, Mandel said.

A center for entrepreneurship also gives the Babcock school a chance to align itself more closely with the business communities in the Win­ston-Salem area and the rest of the country.

"There is going to be a heavy emphasis in outreach," Mandel said, adding that the school has recognized that this is an area in which it needs to excel to be suc­cessful.

Mandel said he has been involved in several firms in the health care and finance areas and also has owned family businesses in retail. In addi­tion to his duties as director, he will serve as an executive professor and teach classes in areas such as new venture creation and fast growth management.

A variety of students are likely to participate in the entrepreneurship program, Mandel said.

Though some students will be interested in managing family busi­nesses as a career, others are just looking for a well-rounded busi­ness education.

"I have students who are gong to be working for some of the largest corporations in the country," he said.

"This is amazing. Ifs a complete trans­formation from what it was," senior Karon Click said.

prepa:ring to move By Ben Donberg

Old Gold and Black Reporter

When Student Health Services was brought onto campus back in 1956, they moved into what was supposed to be a temporary location, according to assistant director Silvia Bail. . Student Health has now been operating from that same location for 42 years.

However, Bail is remaining optimistic that Health Services will soon be able to

· move into its new location in the basement of Reynolds Gymnasiwn. Bail said, "We hope to move into the new location over Christmas break."

:· ;In the past, the basement of the gym housed the Reserve Officers Training Corps department. However, over the summer the R.O.T.C. department's office moved to the new Information Systems building.

ber of examination rooms will allow us to provide care for students more efficiently," Bail said.

Theothernewfeaturewill be the Wellness Center located just inside of the front en­trance.

Bail said, "We hope this is a place where students can come and learn about living a healthy lifestyle through healthy behavior. Our goal is to educate students so that they will eventually be able to assess their own problems and illnesses."

The Wellness Center will provide stu­dents with educational computer software on health and nutrition.

It will also be a place where student groups involved in healthy lifestyle education can hold programs and meet­ings.

about football, but that the community should show more spirit.

Only students are allowed to be members of the Deac Freaks.

They must pay $10 for a Deac Freak T-shirt.

Membership is contingent upon not missing more than one of the six home games, including the Duke game which will be played over Fall Break.

The Deac Freaks will have priority seating at all home games.

Entrance into the Groves Stadium is.by valid student ID and the Deac Freak T­shirt.

It is not too late to sign-up for the Deac Freaks.

According to Bail, the basement of the gym is being completelyrenovated in order to accommodate Student Health.

The larger sized facility will allow for a larger pharmacy and lab area. Currently the pharmacy and lab are in the same room, but in the new building they will be located in two different rooms.

Sophomore Thomas Vanderford of the Delta Sig fraternity tries to convince a fellow student to donate to the Brian Piccolo Cancer Research Fund.

For more information, call Sedric)ackson· at Ext. 8187.

"Although the new facility isnotas much larger as we had previously hoped, it does provide two new accommodations which we do not have now," she said.

One of these accommodations is more ·examination rooms in which to treat stu­dents. Currently there are small cubicles in which students meet with a .nurse for a pre­assessment. These cubicles will no longer be needed.

Bail anticipates that the increase in space will provide an increase in privacy.

"In the new facility, students getting lab work done or getting a prescription will be able to do so behind closed doors, without everyone else looking on," she said .

Privacy will also be increased in the af­ter-hours clinic. It will have three private rooms with a bathroom adjacent to each.

According to Hershey, existing sororities have been very support~ ive of the colonization of this new sorority. "We have been 100 per­cent supportive," Hershey said. "The girls chose Phi Mu and we're excited that they are here, and we have been enthusiastic about help­ing them."

Jonestown Road Exit From Hwy 421 Behind McDonald's

String of bike thefts continues to go unchecked By Jared Klose

Assistant News Editor pus each year, according to Horosko. The current pace of bike thefts so far this year, however, would surpass that average.

A rash ofbike thefts has spread on and off cal1lpus over the last two weeks leaving eight students without their alternate modes of transportation.

"It's actually easier for someone to blend in on campus if they come during the day," Horosko said. "You can just put on a back­pack and people think you belong here."

Bikes have been stolen so far from stu­dents living in North, Bostwick, Collins and Johnson residence halls and· Davis House. Student bikes have also been stolen from residences on Rosedale Road.

A possible cause for the increase in crimes is the shrinking number of students who registered their bikes this year. Fifty students have registered their bikes with University Police as of this week, com­pared to 80 who did so last year. But according to Horosko, just registering is not enough. Buying the right kind oflock is key.

It is assumed at present by University Police that the crimes are being committed by non-university persons, but police are still uncertain about suspects. According to Donna Horosko, a prevention specialist, the majority of the crimes have been com­mitted in broad daylight.

"The person responsible for this isn't stupid. Someone is scouting out the bikes and returning to take them," Horosko said.

spond to a call of an off-campus party that involves university stu­dents, they send the i:e.port to the University Police.

University Police chief Regina Lawson said the city police have better things to do with their time.

Rumple said last spring the po­lice received an increasing amount of complaints about noise, park­ing problems, littering and tres­passing from neighbors ofhouses which university students rent on Polo Road and the surrounding area. . • "Last year we spent a God-aw­ful time sending cars up there," Rumple said.

Because the problems were in­creasing, the Wins~on-Salem po­lice, the University Police, Paul Escott, the dean of the college, the Alcohol Law Enforcement and even some of the landlords met over the summer to discuss ways to manage the situation, Univer­sity Police Chief Regina Lawson said.

Lawson said even the mayor and'!;bief~fpolice were receiving cortJ.plairits. She said the problem boils down to good citizenship.

"We recognized the fact that thecommunitywasunhappy. We want to prevent it from being a problem,"Lawson said.

She said some neighbors have described the situation as similar to the movieAnimal House though she does notthink it is that drastic. Lawson said students should have smaller crowds and limit noise in order to prevent the problem from getting worse.

"We understand that it is typi­cal social behavior," Lawson said. "We want to try to manage it in a way that the neighborhood can continue to be a community. We don 'twant itto be us versus them."

Rumple advised to "keep it in the yard and keep it in the house."

As part of the meeting over the summer, the police identified ad­dresses with complaints from last year, Lawson said. Thepolicehave been particularly attentive to these houses during the patrolling be­cause of the problems in the past. . Parties were also broken up at some houses as far away as Indi­ana and Wait Drives. Lawson said these busts were results of com­plaints from neighbors.

Both the Winston-Salem Po­lice and the University Police said tbatthey have not charged anyone with driving while intoxicated as a result of the increased attention to the area.

Lawson said the last time the University Police issued a cita­tion for such a violation was last semester just before spring break. The University Police have the same powers as the city police in these respects, though their cov-

erage area is limited to university­owned areas, including campus, satellite houses, Reynolda Village, Graylyn Conference Center and the University Corporote Center.

After this weekend, the city po­lice are going to file a report on the three weekends' activities and send a copy to the university.

"We want to work with students to have manageable, responsible social events that don't require police intervention," Lawson said.

Lawson said responsible social events are more likely to occur if parties involve less alcohol.

Lawson also said students should be aware of social host liability. If someone who has been drinking underage gets in trouble with the law, the renters of the house can be held responsible because they sup­plied the alcohol.

Lawson said that besides social host liability, students must also be concerned with zero tolerance. Underage drinkers, who are driv­ing, may have their license revoked for a year for any trace of alcohol on their breath, not just the normal .08 legal limit. If the student is from out of state and his or her state has a reciprocal agreement with North Carolina, the student could also lose driving privileges in his or her home state.

Students can also lose their driv­ing privileges for a conviction of trying to purchase alcohol with a fake ID or consumption of alcohol at a bar using a fake ID.

OPINION This column represents the views of the Old Gold and Black Editorial Board.

Patroling Polo Road reaches new high

T he recent fluny of police activity along the Polo Road corridor - Winston-Salem police breaking up off-campus

parties and setting up "hot spots" to catch traffic violators and possibly check for drunken driving - brings several important issues to the table.

Since the spring the number of off­campus parties has risen. The occurrence of dry rush during the last two weeks has also promulgated an increased amount of off-campus fraternization, and the number of students who have been reprimanded has reached a ridiculous high.

Students living along Polo Road and the nearby Rosedale and Friendship Circles have received warnings and fines for hosting social gatherings. These warnings have been issued by both university and Winston-Salem police.

It is understandable that police officers are responsible for ensuring that under­age drinking does not occur as well as for preventing drunken driving.

However, the mere sight of a larger than usual number of cars outside of a house, or of a few students socializing on a lawn does not warrant a police raid.

The fact is that the university's increasingly strict policy regarding campus gatherings, as well as rules prohibiting parties during dry rush, has forced many to socialize off-campus.

The University Police have been working in conjunction with the Win­ston-Salem police in the past few weeks, and a joint effort to control parties is also planned for this weekend. Over the summer University Police, Winston­Salem Police, a dean, Alcohol Law Enforcement and landlords in the surrounding neighborhoods met, strategizing ways in which to keep off­campus parties on a small scale.

University Police know where stu­dents will be gathering, and they depend upon the assistance of Winston-Salem police to keep these parties under close watch. Students inhabiting houses in the neighboring areas should respect those who live around them. Keeping guests from loitering in others' yards is part of their responsibility when hosting a gathering.

By this same token, police should respect students as renters and owners and should allow them to entertain as long as they do not infringe upon the peace of their neighbors.

By breaking up off-campus gather­ings, police are often unfairly targeting students. After a week of classes it is understandable that students will want to relax and socialize in a large group setting and university policies seem to have forced this to occur more fre­quently off-campus.

The university has made it clear through strict regulations that it wants to shoulder as little as possible the conse-

quences of college partying. However, the university's actions have clearly not eliminated the problems that it sought to eradicate. Underage drinking has not disappeared, and students will continue to party after 1 a.m ..

The only thing that changes when parties are moved off-campus is that individual renters or property owners are those who are responsible for the actions of the guests- not the university.

Students need a place to gather. The university has made it increasingly difficult for students to gather in relaxed environments on campus - with party monitors and University Police dropping by every five minutes, and now the university police are trying to stifle off­campus gatherings by alarming the Winston-Salem police.

It is the responsibility of social hosts and guests to make sure that the legal drinking age is adhered to. Preventing students from gathering in off-campus houses does not solve any problems. If anything, students will only travel farther from campus to escape the interruption of police raids. Furthermore, the Winston-Salem police are wasting time targeting college students when there are far more dangerous offenders in the area.

As unwelcome as the sight of patrol cars is along Polo Rmid, police "hot spots" to catch traffic violators and possible drunken drivers are a noble act on the part of the Winston-Salem Police Department.

It is disturbing that police would even need to set up a sobriety checkpoint, in light of the drunk driving accident two years ago, in which two university students were killed. A local man who was driving under the influence collided with a car full of university women, claiming the lives of then sophomores Julie Hansen and Maia Witzl.

Though no one should be driving under the influence of alcohol with the taste of this tragedy especially fresh in their mouths, the reality is that drunken driving does occur.

If a checkpoint is what is needed to scare students from drinking and driving, then so be it. It is a sad com­mentary upon our campus that a "hot spot" is necessary to prevent drunken driving.

It is hoped that the activity of Win­ston-Salem and university police along Polo Road will no longer be deemed necessary. Hopefully the occurrence of hot spots will have bolstered the concept that drunken driving is unacceptable in this society.

It is also hoped that the police forces will relax their tight grip on off-campus socializing and allow party hosts to assume responsibility for their guests. As long as flagrant abuses of the law are not occurring, students should be allowed to socialize in peace.

It's always hard to say good-bye Parting from loved ones, under any circumstance, is always a trying time.

S ummer always seems to be a "regenerative" time for most of us, as we get a reprieve from the busyness associated

with the in's and out's of a normal academic year. The pace is a little different. Some of us actually get to take vacations and reconnect with our family

members and friends in a new context. Some of us continue our education via summer programs or internships. And others of us get more involved with community, volunteer, or home-im­provement projects outside of what we do at work.

For me, this summer was a memorable one, as it was my second summer reunion with my seven-year-old daugh­ter, Noelani, who was with me for six weeks. For the past two years, we have been managing a long-distance relation­ship, as ten months out of the year she lives with her father in Hawaii (the outcome of a custody hearing two years ago). Thus, we try to capitalize on all the quality time we do have together, as the next time we'll see each other will be in December.

As I said goodbye to Noelani a few weeks ago, I experienced something different this time in comparison to how

As I could sense their excitement, I also felt how difficult it was for some of the parents to leave their children here- wondering what impact these

daughters.

it was for me last year. In allowing myself to feel these feelings, I could easily put myself in the shoes of the parents of our first-year students, especially those who I met at the president's reception held during freshman orientation.

Most of the parents I met were excited for their children, sharing with me how proud they were of their son or daughter for being here. They also expressed to me their confidence that this will be a good experience for their children.

As I could sense their excitement, I also felt how difficult it was for some of the parents to leave their children here - wondering what impact these new changes will not only make in their lives but those of their sons or daughters. I experience this every year when I have to say goodbye to Noelani, too.

Thankfully, the one thing my daughter and I were able to do prior to our leaving North Carolina was to speak about what it would mean to be separated from each other again. Clearly, you have to find the right time and place to do this. The catalyst of this conversation was a dinner event we were invited to where Noelani spent most of the time retreated to another section of my friend's house. This was a sign.

. When we got home I had her sit across from me, and I asked her to hold my hands and look into my eyes. We sat there in silence for awhile and then I asked her to tell me what she was feeling. She began to cry as she told me she felt sad. This then opened the door for us to talk about a lot of different things that evening, as we were both crying, laughing and affmning our connection to one another.

The wonderful outcome of our sharing these things with each other ~as know­ing that we'd be all right this time with being separated again. When Noelani was five, I created a parting ritual so that whenever she missed me she would know where to find me. So, again, and I took her hand and placed it in mine by my heart and took my other hand and placed it in her hand by her heart and told her that is where we'll always find each other.

I also reminded her that, no matter how far apart we are, when she looks at the moon and sky in Hawaii that will be the s~e moon and sky I'll be looking at.

So, whenever we ever find ourselves in a place where we need to "regener­ate," or whenever the feelings associated with missing special people in otir lives overwhelm us, then perhaps we should, .. all consider creating our own special rituals similar to what Noelani and I have done for ourselves.

If anything, it helps me to remember and capture what the Hawaiians refer to as the spirit of"aloha" (unconditional love) and "ohana" (family), ,which is something I believe we always carry with us - no matter how near or far apart we are from the people we care about and love.

unfinished plans into fruition and to lay the foundations for new ideas. The goals that had grown stale by last May gain a new · charisma in September. .

.Just a few days ago, I heard someone discussing SG 's plan to establish a university house in Washington. "Oh, yeah," I thought, "Whatever happened to that?" Upon learning later that no plans had been made to start a D.C. exchange program, I began to give the issue deeper thought. Suddenly, it seemed to me that this idea which had not seemed to make any progress over the summer should be actualized• ·

I recalled not thinking too much of the plan last year, after hearing former SG president Scott Plumridge, '98, read it from a wish list of his aspirations for the university.

Among the ranks of university ho11ses like Worrell House in London and the various other villas scattered across Europe, a . house in Washington sounded comparable to establishing an exchange program in Charlotte. Who would want to spend a semester in the city where they liad taken their seventh grade field trip, or visit landmark tourist attractions like the Hard Rock Cafe when they could be touring the cathedrals in Paris?

However, after spending a summer interning in the nation's

capital, the notion of a university house in D.C. emerges as perhaps the most practical idea that the SG has offered in a long time. ·

The administration has not yet given its approval of the plan, but it seems to me that there is significant need for ~uch a house.

In assessing this need, it might be necessary to re-evaluate the purpose of an exchange program. It should be to allow students to gain a valuable experience that they wouldn't otherwise gain at the university. Students study in Europe because it gives them exposure to a foreign cultUre while taking classes at the same time.

Additionally, a study abroad program allows students to live afordably in a place where they normally could not. Many are even able to complete internships during their study abroad experience. According to these standards, a semester in Wash­ington would meet all of these requirements.

Several colleges and universi­ties across the nation have established programs in Wash­ington where their students can take classes as well as fulfill internships. They recognize the fact that the nation's capital is swarming with interns, with a ratio of I college-educated coffee-server I bagel fetcher per government employee.

Additionally, these schools have recognized that Washington is not a cheap place to live (with a sales tax of 10 percent), and that many would fmd it fman­cially draining to live there without university accommoda­tions.

Even during the summer months, these students can take classes while interning and living in their university's exchange house.

Additionally, they can receive college credit for their intern­ships by writing a paper about their experience (that which does not involve getting breakfast for the boss).

One student from the Univer-

sity of Southern California who worked in the same office with me and another student from this university even found his . internship through USC, while the ,other university student and I found ours practically by default · through an advertisement on the Internet. It worked out fme, but imagine how much more effi­cient such a process could be if the university established connections with different businesses and government offices in the Washington area.

If the university needs to be convinced that students would indeed take advantage of such an exchange program, they would not have to look far.

Nearly every day this summer I ran into another university student who I didn't know was

·there. Sitting at a red light in a cab

one day, I looked up to see that the person who the erratic driver had just missed by a hair was in fact someone I knew from school.

Rather than coughing up the high cost of D.C. rent, many of these students could have been living in' a university subsidized house, while collecting some additional credits.

Furthermore, though living in Washington may not be as romantic as sippingperno(i along a sidewalk cafe, there is much to be gained :Q-om the experience in the short term.

Think of it as subconscious political indoctrination. You will have an opinion by the time you leave, even if it is only to more firmly shake your head in disdain about Monica Lewinsky. Second, many internships can begin to open career doors that would have otherwise remained shut.

SG's initiative to begin a program in D.C. should. receive the backing of the administra­tion. Any effort to establish a house in an American city with much to offer should be ex­plored.

There is a lot that our country has to offer, even if it's not a stroll on the Seine.

Clinton'sdeception leaves bad feeling among Americans

The president disillusioned the nation through immoral actions.

A s I return to school this fall for my last year of college, I realized that my generation, Generation X, is unaware aftoday's national events. The events

occurring in Washington over the last seven months have had an enormotis effect on my social awareness.

Daniel Cianci (j\JEST COLUMNIST

Although these words may seem harsh, Bill Clinton has weakened our nation, undermined our judicial system and created an atmosphere that allows for the abuse of power.

Americans, especially young Americans, must break free from the hands of ignbrance and pay closer attention to the political scene in our country.

Bill Clinton is the most powerful man in the world. While blatantly abusing the power of the presidency Clinton is weakening and diminishing our great nation and the office of the president. He took advantage of an intern no older than a college student.

As a result of special prosecutor Kenneth Starr's investigation, Clinton proceeded for seven months to lie directly to the faces of the American public, denying all accounts of an affair while challenging Starr legally every inch of the way.

While Starr won every legal challenge in court, Clinton continued to prolong the investigation, running up legal bills on both sides.

As George Orwell warned us in his novell984, it appears that "doublespeak" has emerged in the administration of President Clinton. Clinton's use of words as an excus~ to avoid peljury is a travesty.

Sex is sex whether it is oral or not. I do not buy into the fact that Clinton can be excused from a felony simply because he did not lie under oath. Clinton chooses words like "misled," "improper contact" and "improper relations" to distract the American public from the issues at hand.

As a result, the public ignores the long-term effect Clinton's presidency is going to have on our future as a nation. Since most Americans are unaware of the facts, Clinton gets away with these

acts.

Although these words may seem harsh, Bill Clinton has weakened our

nation, undermined our judicial system and created an atmosphere that allows for the abuse of power.

tM;a~1s, especially young must break free from the

1ranc:A and pay closer political scene in our

country.

When Clinton supporters are presented with the facts, they dismiss the affair ~ay because "every-one do 't " /d .,r,.':l . es 1 . . , ... "·~<<-oi,-" ..

However, even th9'ugh th~s fact .. isn~t true, they fail to realize that the issue at hahd is not about a sex scandal, but about the American public losing its freedoms and liberties slowly as they allow Clinton to get away with perjury.

Our country was founded on the principle that a!! men are created equal and are subject to the same laws, without bias of social class or position in society.

Clinton is saying it's okay for the president to lie in .· front of a grand jury because it is his private life.

Well, when acts of adultery are committed with the taxpayer's money in the White House, then it . becomes the nation's business- especially when the president is lying under oath to the American public.

What is occurring in Washington is simply under­mining our judicial system and our will for democ­racy.

Our government is not guaranteed to last forever . and if we allow it to continue down these paths we will be in for a grim future.

We must put an end to these games in Washington by voicing our opinions, or otherwise suffer the consequences of having history repeat itself.

The phrase "moral decay leads to political decay which leads to economic decay" has re-emerged as a reality here in the United States.

America must take the time to re-evaluate its political agenda. It is time to bec~me more active in our government since it is a government "for the people, by the people and of the people."

I urge students and other members of Generation X to become more aware of what is going on in today's world, because the things that are occurring now will directly affect our way of life down the road. One must not take freedom for granted.

By 'suzanne DuBose Perspectives Editor

. ' ,. , It is the beginning of the school year, a time for purchasing new text books, eating out with friends and shopping for the perfect dorm room accessories. At this same time, many students wonder how they are going to pay for the same text books, meals and accessories, among other living expenses.

All those students driving BMW Z3s better sit down befdr~ reading this - many students on this campus have to work during the school year to support themselyes.

Whether it is to buy books or clothes, to go clubbing or to the movies, for car insurance or to pay tuition, many students need the right job that .pays the right amount of money. Other students are looking for experience, for resume boosters or just for a chance to meet new people or do something worthwhile.

At most universities up to 65 percent of full-time - students have jobs in addition to 1heir classes

according to a 1993 study of the Student Employ­ment Office of Career: Development and Placement Services at the University of Michigan.

Though some students are able to do work study through their financial aid package, other students must scour the city for the right part-time job.

And just what exactly is the right part­timejob?

That depends on the student's goals and objectives. There are many factors that should be considered when job hunting: location, time flexibility, skills re­quired and

are housed in the Benson University Center. Benson Fitness Center and the Information Desk provide sought-after positions due to their close location and ample study time.

"It's nice because you get to see a lot of people and there's not too much to be doing all the time so you can study," said senior Andrew Tapp, a Fitness Center employee.

Beyond being able to fit in some schoolwork, fitness center employees have several responsibili­ties.

"We are responsible for taking IDs, handing out lockers and making sure everything down here is working well, and we also clean all the machines on Sunday nights," said senior Meredith Burleson, a Fitness Center employee.

At the infonnation desk students must juggle several responsibilities from handing out Benson keys to authorized personnel to providiilg all sorts of campus information.

"Basically we just answer the phone, if students call and ask for a student number or a professors number, and if anyone comes to the desk trying to find out where a meeting is located, we try to advise them. Basically, we just give

These reasons are part ljfwhy 58 percent of students who work hold p_Qsitions on campus, {lCCording to the UniveristY of Michigan study. . However, one main drawback comes with working on campus: Students can be almost certain that the pay for any on-campus position will be no inore than minimum wage.

Much like the Fitness Center position, this job is sought for its moments of potential study time.

"At the information desk I find out a lot of infonnation, and during slow periods you can -get some· homework done," said senior Michelle O'Connor, the Information Desk manager.

Fitness center and information desk positions are usually filled at the end of the previous school year.

However, should students choose to leave or a scheduling conflict arise, there is still hope for a Benson job this year.

"If positions open up, they keep all applications on file," O'Connor said.

The contacts for these positions are the facilities coordinator, Gale Newport, at Ext. 5230 for the information desk; and James Buckley, the Benson associate director, at Ext. 4853 for fitness center positions.

Intramural Department The intramural department, located in Reynolds

Gymnasium, also hires numerous students through­out the year as intramural sports officials.

No experience is needed since training is pro­vided, and provisions can easily be made so employ­ees can both play and officiate any sport.

Officiating also has occasional downtime between games or forfeits during which studying can be done, and there are great benefits and pay increases for returning officials and potential for higher-paid supervisor positions.

students. "At night a lot of students work here. They try to

hire with in the school as much as possible," said junior Lynette Kirk, a Pizza Hut employee.

Unlike most on campus jobs, Pizza Hut usually pay new employees at a higher rate than minimum wage.

OFF CAMPUS: According to the 1993 University of Michigan

study, "On-campus wages averaged $5.16, while off-campus employers paid between $5.66 and $6.16."

At an average difference of $1 per hour, it is easy to see why many students look beyond campus walls for employment opportunities.

With the present thriving economy, almost every . business has positions available; however, students

can make their job search more convenient by considering the following potential positions.

. · .. INTERNSIDPS: ··· ·

Although not all internships are paid positions, internships are a wonderful way to experience real world employment. .

"Som€; internship sites do not pay because they are ·. a not-for-profit organization, or because they have so many applicants, payment is not necessary to attract qualified interns. Certain careers, such as advertis­ing, public relations and human resources require an intership before you will be considered for a job," said the Career Guidebook by the offic~· of career services at this university.

"Internships become more important every day. Many students are hired (after graduation) out of their internship," said William Currin, the director of career services.

Most students consider doing internships only during their summer vacation; ·however, there are many internship opportunities duritig the school year as well.

"Students need to be involved earlier rather than later," Currin said.

There are 12 internships currently posted in the career services office. "They're all the orange flyers you see on our office wall," said Patrick Sullivan, the internship director.

These are not the only options available. Students also have access to Internship ExchatJge a web page listing more than 11,000 internships for college students. The page can be reached through the campus web page under career services, "Intern­ships."

However, students should not feel limited to either of these lists.

"You should just assume that every organization is a potential internship sponsor, so don't be limited by what's in the books," said Barbara Reinhold in her article "How do I get an Intem~~p?"

.Deacs head west to start season . By Scott Payne Associate Managing Editor

Prior to this season, what did the De­mon Deacon football team and Rodney Dangerfield have in common? They got no respect.

Well, last week the Deacs gained an industrial strength dose ofR-E-S-P-E-C­T when Sports Illustrated released its . Colleg~ Football Preview. The renowned sports magaZine ranked Head Coach Jim Caldwell & Co 22nd in the nation and bel~eves that, "there's no reason that the Deacons can't go 8-3 and finish above . 500 in the ACC for the first time in a decade/' .

"It is gratifying to see that our program ' is being mentioned more favorably at this time of year,· ~ut none of that means

· anything if we don't demonstrate our . 'improvement on the playing field," said Caldwell of his team's national recogni­tion.

This SaturdaY; Bept. 5, the Deacs will get their first chance to put their money where Sf's mouth is, when they travel some 1,500 miles westward to do battle with the Air Force Academy in a game which will be nationally televised on ESPN2, beginning at 1 p.m. , The trip to Colorado marks the Deacs' t~ngest journey from home ever in the 97 yeiu"~ of.Deacon football and is the first time· siri2e their 1994 loss to Vanderbilt that the Deacons will open their schedule away from the friendly confmes of Groves

. Stadium. · Laura and Black The game against Air Force should

serve as a good barometer for the Deacs and prove almost instantaneously whether or not the powers-that-be at Sports Illus­trated were right to rank the Deacons, who finished 5-6 last season, in the nation's top 25.

Junior Mathew Burdick made a smooth transition into the role of placekicker 'last year. Burdick should be helped out by the thin air of Colorado Springs, Colo., as the Deacs travel there to face Air Force in the year's first game.

Air Force's defensive unit, which em­ploys a 5-2 scheme, returns a total of20 letterman and four starters from last year's squad, including tackles Shawn Thomas and Bryce Fisher, who both tip the scales at over 250 pounds.

letic Conference (WAC), features a full house backfield with two halfbacks and a fullback. The team's leading rusher last season with a total of 741 yards and six touchdowns, Spanky Gilliam, returns to anchor the Air Force ground attack.

will be the first ever meeting between the two teams as well.

Air Force, which features a option run­ning attack, finished last season with a loss to Oregon in the Las Vegas Bowl, dropping them to a respectable 10-3. Air Force's trip to the Las Vegas Bowl was their fifth postseason appearance in the 90s.

"In Air Force, we are facing an oppo­nent that will test us in many ways. They are a veteran, mature and experienced team that plays with great pride and disci-

. pline,'' said Caldwell. ' "Our challenge is to match them in both ofthose areas."

A season ago Air Force boasted the third-best scoring defense in the country, allowing a meager 12.4 points per game.

The biggest weakness for Air Force's defense lies in the size of their defensive secondary.

With only one starting defensive back standing more than six feet tall, senior · wide receiver Desmond Clark should look to have a career day. '

At 238 pounds, Clark, who needs only 32 catches to break Ricky Proehl's school record, should run rampant through the Air Force defensive backfield like a bull through a China shop.

On the offensive side of the ball, Air Force, which belongs to the WestemAth-

· With Air Force looking to move the ball on the ground with great proficiency, the Deacs will sorely miss the speed and quick­ness of senior linebacker Kelvin Moses, who is sidelined following arthroscopic knee surgery two weeks ago.

Air Force also returns their starting quar­terback from a season ago, Blane Morgan, who ran for 565 yards and passed for 975 yards, along ·with 31 letterman and six starters.

Fisher DeBerry, head coach at Air Force, is entering his 15th year and has compiled a record of 108-63-1 over that span. This

Despite his team's preseason expecta­tions for success, Coach Caldwell real­izes that this game against Air Force is no ordinary operii.ng game walkover and that the Deacons need to perfonn well in this difficult environment.

"We will be on the road playing in a stadium tliat few visiting teams come away from with a victory, but we feel that if we play with emotion and execute on both sides ofthe football without too many mistakes, that we can be success­ful," said Caldwell.

The Deacs have won their last two opening day games, defeating Appala­chian State 19-13 in I 996 and holding on to down No. 21 Northwestern 27-20 last season.

Burkett's goal with eight minutes left wins the team's season opener By Paul Gaeta Sports Editor

One year ago, the defense of the Demon Deacon men's soccer team was impenetrable. In fact the Deac "D" was so strong that it finished the yearwitheightshutouts in the team's 10 wins.

Yet, with such a stellar defensive unit, one had to wonder why the Deacs were just a team of mediocrity last season, finishing the year with a very average 1 0-l 0 overall record.

After all doesn't defense win games?

Like in any sport, defense does win games in soccer, but when a team has no go-to man on the scoring side and therefore can't put the ball in the net, then even the strongest defense in the world won't make a soccer club successful.

Andthuswasthestoryoflastyear's men's soccer team; a talented defen­sive club plagued by a lack of scoring power. .

The outcome ofthis upcoming sea­son could, once again, hinge on whether or not the ~ can consis-tently find the net(/? '

Yet if the team's first-game of the regular season against Virginia Tech Sept. 1 has any indication ofhow the Deacs will fare this year, the outlook doesn't look so good.

While the Deacons did pull off a 1-0 victory over the Hokies at Spry Stadium, it took a long-range blast from sophomore defender Jeff

Burkett with less than eight minutes remaining to finally put the Deacs on the board, a goal that would eventu­

ally prove to be the lone score of the game.

But the Dea­cons didn't go without any other opportuni­ties. The team had 25 total shots on goal compared to the

mere two the Hokies were able to muster off during the game. Included in the shots tallied were several open­netters that just missed.

The Deacons also held a 6-1 ad­vantage in comer kicks.

So with such a display of offensive domination, one would think the Deacs would have been able to put at least two or three goals on the scoreboard.

However, the team could only find the net just once, and that came as time was winding down to what looked like another match of what should have been.

After pounding Hokies' goalie Alexey Salmin with shots, the De­mon Deacons fired two close-range bullets at Salmin who made saves.

After the second shot, however, junior David Kaweesi-Mukooza's pass was deflected out to Burkett who fired a right-footed shot into the top left comer uf the net for the goal.

Junior goalkeeper Sean Conner,

starting for the second straight year in net, was solid, although the Hokies posed no real threats until the final few

minutes of the sec­ondhalfwhenthey got off their sec­ond shot of the game.

Fortunately, the Demon Deacons were able to get a big first win under their belt against a team that defeated

them last year at Virginia Tech. Yet, the team's inability to score

raises immediate questions on how they will be able to get the ball in the net as the season continues.

The Deacons will hope to break out of this scoring slump this weekend when the team hosts the Nike-Wake Forest Classic at Spry Stadium, a tour­nament the team has played well in the past two years.

The tournament promises to be high­lighted by several of the nation's pre­mier teams including San Francisco, North Carolina and St. Bonaventure.

The Demon Deacons will face off against San Francisco on Sept. 4 at 8 p.m. and will conclude the tournament Sept. 6 against St. Bonaventure at 3 p.m.

In other tournament action, North Carolina will challenge St. Bonaventure in the first game of the tournament Sept. 4 at 6 p.m.

On Sept.6, North Carolina will play San Francisco at 1 p.m .

The Mark McGwire/ . Sammy .Sosa pursuit ~f.·. · · · Rog~. Maris'. home run ..... record of 61 this season is the ·perfect' ~xample. Never in my lifetjjne have I seen a nation so intrigued

by a pursuit of an athletic milestone as our culture has over McGwire and Sosa's bombs:

It's the top story on ES.PN's Sportscenter every night. It dominateS the web pages throughout the Internet. . It covets ~e front page of prestiged newspsaper~, . .such: as The New York Times and WashingtonPo,s-i,andthat is the front page of the news section.

Yet, as good as this pursuit of history is for not only baseball but athletics as a whole, there's still that daily bad in sports that contin- . ues to leave that perpetual sour taste in fan's mouths whenever they hear any word mildly relat~d to sports.

Yes, it was great to see McGwire' s two blasts against Florida in the paper yesterday .

But looking next to that article and seeing that Mike Tyson allegedly broke the law ... again prevented that initial good feeling from staying for long.

Here on campus, where the sports world is narrowed but is still ever-present, the same good, bad and ugly combines to make a luke­warm feeling of sports on campus.

It's great to see the Deacon football team ranked 22nd by Sports Illustrated, and the baseball team advance to the NCAA Regionals last year after winning the ACC Champion­ships.

Yet, it's hard to feel great about these accom­plishments when there's, thanks to the brilliant people who run this school, so many things wrong with athletics hen~, .

What's wrong with this great athletic school, you say? There's plenty, but here's just a few of the more significant problems: • On the verge of one of its most successful football seasons in years, this school opts to downsize pre-game tailgating, the most popu­lar draw to football games for years.

I don't care how good this year's team gets, tailgating brings and. wilkcontinue to bring students to the game.

It's sad enough that most home games are equally attended by the opposition's fans; hardly a home-field advantage. for our team .. ·

1J:i1s year, however, could have. been differ­ent, but the school's mindless decision on tailgating will definitely limit more of an ethusiastic crowd at Groves Stadium, as I'm sure more student's than ever will opt to sleep in

. and watch the game on television. Smart decision by our school? I don't think

so.

I continue to wonder why the people who care most about our team, the students, get seats where binoculars are needed to see the action, while three quarters of the lower levels of Joel Coliseun1 are filled by fans who barely , utter a peep.

Even more so, when students able to sit on the lower level do stand up, these same stoic fans complain to Coliseum ushers that they can't see, as was the case in this past season's N.I.T Tournament, thus forcing excited fans back down to their seats.

I had the luck to go watch the Deacs play at N .c;. State, Duke and Carolina last season, and thetr arenas are so loud you can barely hear yourself think.

DEACON NOTES

Basketball signees excel in East-West All-star game

In the North Carolina East-West All Star game held in Greensboro this summer, both Demon Deacon men's and women's basketball signees excelled on the court.

In the women's game, freshman Adell Harris led the West to victory with a team-high 11 points and strong defensive play.

Freshman Elizabeth Biedrycki also dominated for the West with a team high nine rebounds and eight points. .

On the men's side, freshman Craig Dawson earned game MVP honors with his 34 points in a losing effort for the East. Dawson was 9 of 18 from beyond the three-point arc and 13 of 16 from the free throw line.

Dawson got help from teammate freshman Ervin Muray, who led the East with 10 rebounds as a guard. Dawson and Ervin said they really felt comfortable playing together.

Sports Illustrated gives Football team vote of confidence

After being picked to finish fifth in the ACC this ·year by many experts, the Deacon football squad received a vote of confidence from Sports Illus­trated as the sports magazine ranked the Deacs 22nd in the country.

The rankings have surprised many, but not the football team itself. The players are happy to have some national attention, and they feel that they deserve it. .

"We've got some tremendous players on our team this year and people are starting to see that," Kuklick said in a press release concerning the rankings.

Many rankings have the Deacons between 55th and 86th in the nation. Senior Desmond Clark feels ~e Sports Jllustrated ranking is more accu­rate and said that the team plans to prove that this year as well.

To add to the anticipation, the ACC has named Caldwell as its pre-season pick for coach of the year.

Dorrance, who has coached UNC to 14 NCAA titles, denied the charges and said he would defend himself and the program vigorously.

"I am shocked and saddened by these allegations," Dorrance said in a pre­pared statement. "I have never and would never abuse my position in any way. I've respected every player I have ever coached both as an individual and as a member of my team."

Baddour said the players' charges had previously been brought to the attention of the university and the de.­partment of athletics but the subse­quent investigation did not show any misconduct on the part of Dorrance or members of his staff.

"The record in this matter demon­strates that university officials and coach Dorrance have fully and promptly.responded to concerns ex­pressed by these students and their parents," Baddour said. .

ave Matthews Ban By Katie Venit

A & E Assistant Editor

There is really no way to do full justice to a Dave Matthews Band concert. If you've never been, go and go soon. Unfortunately, the concertonAug.30atHardee'sWal­nut Creek in Raleigh was the band's last stop on this summer's tour, but never fear: Dave comes around at least once a year.

The Dave Matthews Band cannot really be pigeon-holed into a spe­cific gen,re of music. All ofthe band members have either been formally trained or have apprenticed in jazz music, but to listen to their music you'd never know it except that in their concerts it seems like they equid just jam for hours, leading to

I've long thought Tinsley is the most talented member of the

band, but this show clinched it for me.

released in Aprill996. The bands' style has changed somewhat since 1991, but it has always been a quarky combination of just about every­thing. The band's music is perhaps most appropriately labeled a hybrid of alternative rock, punk and R & B with jazz laced throughout, but it seems everyone has their own opin­ion.

Because of this immense back­ground in playing for crowds, not studio microphones, the Dave Matthews Band got really, really good at it. It's known for the ener­getic, jaw-dropping concerts, and this one in Raleigh was no excep­tion. ·

the set with a solo of "Iron Man" (Black Sabbath) which led into an absolutely incredible "All Along the Watchtower" (yes, J imi Hendrix's masterpiece).

Violinist Boyd Tinsley, who just keeps getting better every year, played a five-minute long duet with guitarist and lead vocalist Matthews. Try to picture this: for about five minutes he actually plucked the strings on his fiddle like a banjo, producing one of the most unique sounds ever to reverberate from the Walnut Creek speakers.

I've long thought Tinsley is the most talented member of the band, but this show· clinched it for me. Along with the awe-inspiring fid­dling, Tinsley had another surprise for the fans. He borrowed the mi­crophone from Matthews and sang lead vocals for a yet-to-be-released song called "True Reflections" which, with any luck, will be on the next original album.

· one of the finest concert groups found today. In fact, the Charlottesville,V a. based band was making a decent ffving touring around the University of Virginia area, starting out in 1991 by playing on the roof of an apartment builillng in Charlottesville.

My first of few complaints is that the band didn't seem to get wam1ed up until an hour and 45 minutes into the show when they started jam­ming. Previous to this they just played songs that sounded straight off the albums (granted, they were very good songs, but fans have come to expect more from Dave).

It's a shame Tinsley waited so long to come out from behind his violin. He can't sing nearly as well as he can fiddle, but then again, Matthews can't sing as well as Tinsley can fiddle, either.

Courtesy of dmband.com The Dave Matthews Band (LeRoi Moore, Boyd Tinsley, Dave Matthews, Carter Beauford and Stefan Lessard) played at Hardee's Walnut Creek Aug. 29 and 30 to end its summer tour.

The CD deal with RCA was al­most secondary to the nightly jams. The band's first album Remember Two Things was recorded in August 1993 while touring on Nantucket Island. Recently followed closely there after;. released in February 1994. Under the Table and Dream­ing, theiffirst album released under a major label, hit the shelves in September 1994, and Crash was

very talented musicians with strong jazz backgrounds. They contribute to the overall sound, but in this concert at least they fell short of being fantastic. They were merely good, which is not exactly a bad thing, but considering the tremen­dous talent demonstrated by the other members of the band, it couldn't hurt for Moore and

Beauford to take center stage more often.

Dave comes around, buv one of the admittedly over-pricect"lawn tick­ets. Go with some friends who know the band. You'll have a great time.

Once they really got going, how­ever, they were amazing. Stefan Lessard, the twenty-something bass guitaristwho's been playing in clubs since he was 15-years-old, started

Aside from the occasional short solo, percussionist Carter Beauford and LeRoi 'Moore on saxophones stayed mostly in the background, allowing Matthews and Tinsley to share the spotlight.

This is fairly disappointing be­cause both Beauford and Moore are

Bottom line: even if you don't own a CD and have somehow es­caped the multitude of singles re­leased on the radio, even ifyou've never heard of Dave Matthews and don't understand what alternative rock, punk/R & B laced with jazz is supposed to sound like, next time

It's the concerts that make the fans in the Dave Matthews Band's case, and it's really liard not to fall in love with this eclectic bunch once you've seen themin their natural state- on stage . .

Ever After actresses create Cinderella with a

By Kathleen Link U-wire

Ever After: A Cinderella Story is not simply another remake of the classic fairy tale. It is a modem interpre­tation with plenty of twists. Ever After shows that a woman can be just as competent as a man. This Cinderella (Drew Barrymore) doesn't need a fairy godmother or a prince to rescue her. In fact, at one point it is Cinderella who rescues the Prince (Dougray Scott). Quite a refreshing change of pace.

strict social pressures that come with his position. It takes Cinderella to make him feel alive and hopeful once again. It is not just her beauty that captures his heart and changes his life. Cinderella ignites his pas­sion for learning and inspires him to follow his dreams and lead a meaningful life. Still, for all of you who loved the original Cinderella don't worry; Ever After still packs plenty of romance. This particular version is especially reminiscent of the recent remake of Romeo and Juliet, and is similarly well done.

Several times while viewing the film, the audience was inspired to cheer with applause. Of course, the audience was mostly female given that the film is a pretty standard chick flick. However, it was disap­pointing that there wasn't more testosterone in the audience. So listen up girls! Drag your boyfriends, brothers and buddies to Ever After to help get the message out that women aren't vulnerable and needy but rather capable and confident.

Although Barrymore has starred in many major hit films this may be her best. Barrymore's Cinderella is both sweet and strong, romantic and grounded, and she's brave enough to stand on her own two feet. Anjelica Huston is very convincing as the infamous evil step-mother who cares for nothing but her own welfare and that of her very beautiful oldest daughter. The younger step-sister adds an additional twist by siding with Cinderella. She has a heart and highlights the need for female solidarity, a little "girl power" to fight the social inequality of the time period.

If you are looking for a film to make you laugh, cry and feel inspired, look no further. Ever After delivers.

Smoke Signals lights up big screen Independent film adapted from Sherman A Iexie's book portrays Native American life

together on their Coeur D' Allene reser­vation in Idaho.

Victor's father, Arnold (Gary Farmer), abandoned Victor and his mother Arlene (Tantoo Cardinal) when he was a child, while Thomas's parents died in a fire when he was a baby. But this fire forged Thomas and Victor's eternal link when Arnold Joseph rescued Thomas from the flames' clutches.

Now that Victor and Thomas have reached their ripe early 20s, they have truly grown apart. Victor acts cocky and is jaded with hatred for his absent father while Thomas is an oral-tradition con-

noisseur and outcast; complete with braided hair and a one-suit wardrobe.

After discovering Arnold's true loca­tion through the aid ofSuzy Song (Irene Bedard), Victor feels an obligation to visit him but lacks the funds to do so. Thomas steps in for the rescue, baring a jar chock-full of cash and one stipula­tion- to accompany him on the trip.

The impending voyage is more than just a normal trip. It is an enlightening journey into the makeup oftheir souls.

The poignant power of Smoke Signals does not permeate from one source but rather from the collaborative efforts of the writer, director and actors.

ShermanAlexie' s script, adapted from his book The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, shows to be one of 1998's finest scripts by intricately illus­trating each character's existence with varying brush strokes of humor, drama and the overall human condition.

In addition, Alexie breathes an enor­mous amount oflife into the reservation with eccentric nuances here and there, including the "heavy" traffic reports

broadcast by KREZ radio and the two girlfriends who always drive their car backward. If anything, Alexie's world is so intriguing the viewer craves more of his characters and details to sink his or her eyes into.

Novice director Chris Eyre and cin­ematographer Brian Capener perfectly complement Alexie's words with the images of Idaho and Arizona to pro­duce magnificent scenes.

Beach and Adams bring Victor and Thomas, respectively, to glorious life while Farmer steals the show with his riveting yet understated performance as Victor's father.

With the power of the friendship and the father message, along with the ex­amination of Native American exist­ence contained within Smoke Signals, Native American cinema and Sherman Alexie are definitely here to stay to waft their superb story smoke into cinema's atmosphere.

For those students who have yet to venture to the Rainbow News and Cafe, an offbeat, eclectic hangout, it offers a variety ofhip salads and sandwiches, entrees, wines, coffees and desserts.

Although the restaurant could have stood for a little music to heighten the ambiance, the pastel walls and artwork in this converted house provided a soothing atmosphere.

For our first course we ordered the Rainbow Cafe's house salad and the combination spinach and humus dip plate. ·

Among the colors were bright red and white of the tortilla chips, the deep green of the spinach dip, the muted orange humus along with the vibrant colors of carrots and celery ..

The dips were delicious. We were served a more than generous portion of each and they were accompanied by toasted pita wedges, red and white wann tortilla chips and celery and carrot sticks.

The humus was tangy with a strong garlic flavor and went very well with the pita bread. The spinach dip was not as tasty as the humus but had a different flavor than your usual spinach dip: It was not at all creamy or cheesy; it was flavored instead with onions and a hint of dill.

The appetizer salad was a true divergence from the normal iceberg lettuce and cucumber routine. The Rainbow Cafe's version of organic greens, artichoke hearts and diced avocado was tastefully accompanied by a tangy sun-dried tomato vinaigrette.

The portabella mushroom lunch salad we ordered was also a very large portion. It was made over a bed of colorful mesclun and included tomatoes, artichoke hearts, cucumbers, morsels of chevre (goat cheese) and was topped with sliced, sauteed portabella mushrooms.

The black bean burrito served in a bright pink tortilla shell was a treat for both eyes and palate. A tasteful presentation of alarmingly hot salsa, fresh guacamole and delicate rice accompanied the burrito.

_The Rainbow Cafe did not go overboard with the Monterey jack cheese, as many restaurants will do.

The only complaint was that they were a little scant with the salsa - for those of us who prefer their southwestern cuisine painfully spicy. ·

As a finale, we ordered two desserts: blackberry· wine cake and a killer brownie. We·were really could not decide which of these was the better dessert. The brownie was served warm with a very sweet white chocolate sauce over it and whipped cream on the side.

The Rainbow News and Cafe is found at 704 Brooks town Avenue and is open for lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch. The meal described above cost around $20 per person.

The mission to save Ryan gains an epic intensity in a film that depicts the horrors of war. As the director, Spielberg both begins and ends the movie with the image of an American flag pierced by the light of the sun.

unflinching realism and a keen understanding of hu­man nature, Spielberg cuts through the mythology of World War II to bring us closer to the truth.

The characters ofSavtng Private Ryan are real Ameri­cans. They are our friends and neighbors, but any heroism in them is tempered by a longing to go home. They bring strength, weakness, courage and cowardice to the beaches at Nonnandy. We see the captain whose hands shake uncontrollably before battle, the sniper who asks Jesus to guide his bullet and the private who fires his first shot into the chest of a German prisoner of war.

When their deaths come, we are left to judge whether 1

these men have acted on behalf of good or evil. But perhaps we cannot judge those whose sacrifice has been immeasurably greater than our own.

. Versus' new CD worth more h • . .

than just Two Cents plus Tax By Matt Harrington

Old Gold and Black Reviewer

These days, bands come and go faster than you can say "one-hit wonder." The radio picks up o~ the la~est Verve Pipe or Dishwalla single and every song sounds

the same. You can't tell if you're listening to the Goo Goo Dolls or Third Eye Blind. Where' s the origi-

'· nality in music? Even the "new trends" are just copied incessantly by band after band.

Well, there's a band that's not too popular that plays some great music, and they're called Versus.

The band's latest release, Two Cents Plus Tax, is another album that mixes alternative rock with pop hooks and vocals that range from screech­ing to a soft crooning.

The album starts out with "Atomic Kid" with lyrics dealing with nuclear war and someone who takes things a little too seriously. The music is upbeat, and lead vocalist Richard Baluyut alternates between sing­ing and screaming.

Supported by the guitar work of brother James Baluyut and the solid bass ofFontaine Toups (who also sings on some of the songs and has an amazing voice), the band seems to have fun with the music that they are playing and actually care about the music.

.. The guitar playing ranges from light and uptempo to out of control. Although the music is not particularly complex in the way that a band like Radiohead is, Versus doesn't stick to three chords either.

Other highlights on the new album are "Morning Glory," which is a perfect example of how Versus can inesh several different styles.

I was lucky enough to see Versus twice this summer, once in Chapel Hill and once in Boston. Although both

Versus Two Cents Plus Tax

BMI shows were very well done; the Boston show was longer and the crowd really supported the band more. Versus was very energetic and that was reflected both in the crowd and in their music.

You may never hear Versus on the radio. They don't really fit the cookie-cutter mold for rock that fills the airways today. .

Butifyou're looking for a band that's fun to listen to and plays some good music, give Versus a try. Aside from Two Cents Plus Tax, their prior album, Secret Swingers, is also a great disc.
