Debit card to replace Drexel Charge

TRIANGLESTAFF
S tarting in Septem ber, stu
dents will no longer be able to
use the traditional Drexel Charge
to pay for items in the bookstore.
A new debit card will replace
Drexel. To use the debit card,
stu d e n ts will first pay the
University, and then buy items
with the deposited money.
Under the traditional Drexel
Charge system , stud ents used
their ID to purchase books and
were la te r billed by the
University. The University paid
Barnes and Noble, the operator
of the b o ok sto re, for the s tu
den ts’ charges before students
were billed.
According to VP for Finance
Frank Bachich, that system let
stu d en ts owe m oney for long
periods of time. Since students
could not be dropped for owing
money to Drexel Charge, many
simply avoided payment.
As of June 30, nearly $200,000
is owed for books purchased in
the 1995-1996 school year. That
figure stood at $303,000 on May
1, said Bachich. Many seniors
paid their Drexel Charge debt
before graduating, because tran
scripts and degrees were held
until the bills were paid.

In charge of these develop

to Drexel July 1 as vice president
for lifelong learning and interna
tional programs. The 47 year-old
Perkins previously worked as
assistant vice president for inter
natio nal prog ram s at Boston
University. From 1988 to 1996,
Perkins oversaw a grow th in
income from $1 million to $13
million in overseas programs.
“Mr. Perkins brings to Drexel
substantial experience in what
might be called ‘academic entrepreneurism ,’” President Papadakis said. “He is well-suited to
lead Drexel’s expansion in the
international market and in con

All-Star festivities pack fans in the Convention

Baseball fever swept through
the City of Bfotherly Love when
the g am e’s best players and
devoted fans gather for festivities
leading up to the All-Star Game
on July 9.
As part of a continuing effort
to win back the hearts and wal
lets of America, Major League
Baseball’s All-Star FanFest set up
shop in the Pennsylvania
Convention Center. The event,
which ran from July 5 through 9,
show cased ju st ab ou t every
aspect of the game of baseball,
from its storied history — via
exhibits on loan from the Hall of
Fame in C o operstow n, New
York — to the lucrative co l
lectibles market.
Over 102,000 people took in
the spectacle. Visitors were able
to don the headsets for their own
play-by-play, slide into second
base under a tag, and bat against
a video pitcher. The five-day
exhibition sold out many of its
timed-entry sessions.
The 67th All-Star Game at
Veterans Stadium was the main
attraction, however. Over 60,000
fans saw the N ational League
m aintain its w inning streak,
beating the American League 60. The National League touched
American League pitching for 12
hits, including a mammoth shot
by game MVP Mike Piazza from
the Los Angeles Dodgers.
This year’s midsummer classic
was one for the history books, as
well as one for the record bcK^ks,
St. Louis Cardinal Ozzie Smith
played his last All-Star âme,
capping a memorable carccr that
will likely lan d him a spot at
Cooperstown. Meanwhile, A \c \

what should be many more All-
Star games.
Cleveland Indian Albert Belle,

plate.

ATLANTIC CITY — MGM
G rand Inc., w hich ow ns the
world’s biggest casino hotel, said
Tuesday it has chosen a site for a
$700 million “majestic destina
tion re s o rt” it will bu ild on
Atlantic City’s Boardwalk.
The company, which announ
ced plans to enter the booming
New Jersey casino m arket two
m onths ago, now says it will
build on 30 acres next to Show
boat Casino Hotel.
President Alex Yemenidjian
promised a world-class destina
tion resort featuring a casino,
hotel and 335,000-square foot
entertainm ent and retail com
plex.
The number of rooms and the
size of the casino have not been
decided because the com pany
does not know how much land it
has to work with, he said.
MGM Grand, which needs at
least 30 acres to build on the
scale it wants to, must acquire
most of the land.
The n eig h b o rh o o d , w hich
includes a R om an C atholic
church, is the kind of area often
held up as an example of the fail
ure of casino gambling. Dilapi
dated two- and three-story hous
es — some vacant, some occu
pied — sit between whole blocks
of weed-choked lots.
MGM already has reached
agreement with shopping mall
developer Forest C ity R atner
C om panies, which con trols a
vacant 13-acre site next to Show
boat, on a plan that would in
clude that property in the pro
ject
Under the agreement. Forest
City would own and operate the
retail complex. The company, a
sub sid iary o f m all developer
Forest C ity E n terp rises o f
Cleveland, has a 99-year lease
from the city housing authority,
which owns the land.
“We in ten d to develop a
majestic destination resort that
will be the pride of Atlantic City,
and we will complete it as quickly
as the entitlem ent process will
allow us,” said Yemenidjian.
He would not be more specific
about how soon building would
start. Several o th er Las Vegas
com panies have an n o u n c ed
plans to build casinos here
recently, but MGM Grand could
be the first to open.
The com pany is seeking no
public subsidies and will make
no dem ands for infrastructure
im prov em ents, Y em enidjian
said.
“Depending on \ ^ e n they can
complete their acquisitions, they
can be the next casino to open,”
said Michael Pollock, editor of
G am ing In d u stry O bserver, a
local newsletter devoted to casi
no gaming. “And the next casino
to open will get the lion’s share of
limelight. If they beat the other
proposed casinos, they’ll do very
well.”
Casino companies have been
flocking to Adantic City this year
in hopes of cashing in on soaring
profits.
Last year, the 12 casinos raked
in $3.7 billion from gamblers.
Mirage Resorts Inc. plans a $750
million, 2,000-room resort in the
m arina district. Boyd Gaming
C orp ., in co n ju n c tio n w ith
Mirage, wants to build a $500
million, 1,000-room project

The new cards
In order to acconunodate stu
dents, Drexel will be adopting a
new debit card system, whereby
students put money into a debit
account, v^îch is later drawn on
to make purchases.
According to Bachich, the new
cards will be d esign ed by
American Express and will have
students’ pictures imprinted on
them. The pictures will be stored
digitally in a computer system.
According to ^ c h ic h , the new
debit cards will also replace the
current laminated paper Drexel
ID cards. Starting with the in
coming freshman class this fall,
the ID debit card will be available
to all students.
Students on the meal plan and
those wanting a debit account
will be required to get the new
cards.
All other students will be eligi
ble for the new cards, but are not
required to get them. The cards
will be free to freshman and cur
rent students getting the cards
for the first time.
Although the details have yet
to be woriced out, the computerstored ID images should make it
easier to replace lost or stolen ID
cards, according to Bachich. In
addition, said Bachich, “the need
for validation will be elim inat
ed’” as the computer system will
also track and automatically vali
date cards.
According to Bachich, the cost
o f the softw are and hardw are
necessary to implement the debit
card program will be split by
Drexel and Barnes and Noble.
B ookstore m an ag er Tom
Rapoza said, “I think in the long
run it should work out fine for
students and the University. It’ll
just take some getting used to.”
The future
The debit card concept opens
up a \^ôle realm of possibilities
for Drexel and its future billing
practices.
By September 1997, “each stu
dent will receive a monthly state
ment of everything on the billing
system , inclu ding (w hat they
purchased] at the brokstore with
the new deb it c a rd ,” Bachich
said. These statements will show
money deducted from the debit
card and will also have a section
showing what tuition, if any, is
owed and what financial aid is
received. It may also show what
classes w ere d ro p p e d a n d /o r
added for students paying on a
per-credit basis.
Eventually, students may be
able to budget their payments to
the University over time. Also,
parents of students and students
may be able to ad d m oney to
debit cards via the phone using
their own credit cards.
A ccording to D ianna Dale,
interim dean of students, a sur
vey is currently being conducted
to determ ine w hat ad d itio n al
changes m ight be m ade to the
billing system.
The ^ tu re may even see debit
card readers in st^ ed in vending
machines, photocopiers, washers
and dryers and in the Dragon
Shops, said Bachich.

of co-op,” said Perkins. Because
the Drexel co-op program is a
required p art o f the academ ic
curricula, international students
are allowed paid employment in
the U.S. through co-op, Perkins
explained.
He will direct a major expan
sion o f Drexel’s in tern atio nal
outreach to “generate programs
and help feed stu d e n ts to
Drexel.” International students
usually pay tuition in full, and
thus are more financially benefi
cial to tb r U n iversity, n oted
Perkins.
The U niversity is h elp in g
M ara C o m m u n ity C ollege in
Malaysia to build its curricûm .
In return, some students from
this college will come to Drexel
to finish their degrees. Perkins
said, “Turkey is also one of our
targets. (The s tu d e n ts w ould
pursue] pre-engineering [stud
ies] in Turkey then finish their
degrees here.”
Raîmping Evming CoMig t
According to Perkins, “a uni
versity organizes around day col
leges as the p rim a ry focus.
Increasingly, the scope o f
University life occurs outside of
the [day colleges.]”
Perldns said, “[The] Evening
College can be defined by a num
ber of ways. ...(But it should be]
a signiH cant u n it o f the
U niversity.” He is w orking to
“c o n s tru c t a m odel for the
Evening College ... as com pre
hensive a unit ...[and] to give it
enough substance to stand on its
own.”
The Board of Trustees already
approved an initiative to reestab^
lish the Evening College as a col
lege itself — not just a program
— on May 1. The move will be “a
step back to the past, a thrust
in to the fu tu re ,” said Drexel
Trustee Joseph Jacovini, who is
chairman of the Trustees acade
mic affairs committee. Jacovini
said the change will give the col
lege a “full dimension,” and the
com m ittee plans to implement
the change — including a new
name — by the fall.
Perkins said he is examining
the proposed model to see if it
can be im plem ented “w ithout
upsetting the responsibility cen
tered budgeting of the day col
leges.” The woric involves “figur
ing out the financial base of each
program [to] centralize it again.”
As a separate unit o f Drexel’s
responsibility centered budget
ing (RCB), th e new Evening
College w ould be financially
accountable for its program.
One of the new changes is the
focus on providing more certifi
cate pro gram s. Each o f these
clusters contains several related
courses.
The University will provide
more mini-degrees for dusters of
study to “help motivate people”
and to give them programs that
are “ m ore co h e ren t ... [and
have] stronger synergy,” Perkins
said.
Pericins said he will unveil the
new Evening College model by
August. The implementation of
changes will take place through
out the 1996-97 academic year.
S ittl te campuses
“H alf of what you learn [in
engineering has to be] relearned
in five years [through] continu
ing and professional programs,”
P erkins said. S tud ents from
other majors also have different
needs for continuing and profes
sional programs.
To meet the demands of nontraditional students, Drexel is
looking to create “a more active
and better coordinated activity
(for these s tu d e n ts ],” said
Perkins.
Satellite campuses are being
c o n sid ered
a ro u n d
the
Philadelphia suburban counties.
Perkins said several locations
including those in the Main Line
an d N o rth e a st P h ila d elp h ia
could be used as satellite cam
puses.
Each should have about e i ^ t
to 12 classroom and an office
area, Perkins said. Currendy, the
U niversity is tack lin g th e
“bureaucratic ram ification” o f
making these campuses a reality,
according to Pericins.
TTie impending changes in the
Evening College come at a criti
cal time. Drexel’s newest com
p e tito r m ay be P enn sylv ania
State University, according to
President Constantine Papadakis
at th e June 12 U n iv ersity
Assembly meeting.
Penn State has recently adopt
ed a plan in which some o f its
satellite campuses will provide a
complete four-year curriculum
for a bachebr’s degree.
Papadakis wants to increase
incoming undergraduate enroll
ment to 2,000 by the year 2000
— the University is projecting
1,500 freshmen and 500 transfers
for that year. In 1995, there were
approximately 950 freshmen and
300 new tra n te r students.

University/National
Drexel retains $5.4M in state aid
Adam Kelly
TWAWaESTAFFWWTER
H a rrisb u rg ’s flirtation with
cutting state funding to Drexel is
over for now.
On July 2, G o v e rn o r Tom
Ridge ap p ro v ed the state
Legislature’s plan to continue to
fund universities at last year’s
levels, giving some more money
than originally expected.
Ridge signed several bills into
law that maintain funds at 199596 levels for the U niversity o f
Pennsylvania and Drexel Univer
sity. He approved slight increases
for T em ple U niv ersity , the
University of Pittsburgh, Penn
State and Lincoln University.
Ridge had originally proposed
c u ttin g P e n n ’s and D rexel’s
funding by 50 percent in 1996-97
and by 100 percent the next year.
He had proposed level funding
for the state-related universities.
with the exception of Penn State,
w hich was to have received a
slight increase for its agricultural
extension services.
Ridge spokesman Tim Reeves
said although the administration
agreed to restore funding this
year to the schools, there are no
guarantees it will make the same
concession next year.
The bills will maintain fund
ing to teaching hospitals, such as
Allegheny University (formerly
known as Hahnemann), Thomas
Jefferson U niv ersity and the
C hildren’s Heart Hospital, the
P enn sylvan ia
College
of
O p to m etry , the P hiladelph ia
College of Osteopathic Medicine
and the Pennsylvania College of
Podiatric Medicine.
Drexel had to postpone final
izing its 1996-97 proposed bud
get while awaiting Harrisburg’s
d ec isio n , acco rd in g to Vice
P resid ent for Finance Frank
Bachich.
President Papadakis said the
$5.4 m illion fun ding Drexel
receives from the state is equiva
lent to the cost to run the co-op
program. Drexel co-op students
in the state of Pennsylvania earn
more than $17 million a year.
R idge’s pro po sed cut trig
gered a letter-writing campaign
from m em bers o f the Drexel
co m m u nity . A ccording to
Papadakis, approximately 1,000
letters opposing the cut were sent
to state politicians. Papadakis
said these letters “sent a message
to Harrisburg that Drexel is unit
ed [to fight to keep the fun d
ing].”
Of the 1,000 letters, 225 came
from the students. An ad hoc
committee was set up indepen
dently by students Daniel Bahar,
Chris McCarthy, Rita LaRue and
Silvia Savich.
“It is great that students rallied
beh in d Drexel and played a
major role in persuading the leg
islato rs that the U niversity
deserves the state aid,” Bahar
said. “Hopefully students’ partic
ipation will continue to be a key
part of Drexel’s government and
community relations.”
This student lobbying com
m ittee publicized the funding
issue through direct contact, fly
ers, e-mail and an advertisement
in The Triangle. According to
Bahar, the committee also suc
cessfully sought support from
stu d en t gov ernm en ts, the
Interfraternal Association, the
h o n o rs prog ram and the
Resident Student Association.

SixCDmakers accused of price-fixing
Tom Sharp
ASSOCIATEDPRESS
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The
n a tio n ’s six largest m akers of
compact discs have been accused
o f fixing CD prices in a lawsuit
that could result in payments to
millions of buyers.
Lawyers for two CD buyers
sued on Monday and won imme
diate class-action status, which
means other CD consumers can
join. The suit does not specify
how much it is seeking but limits
each individual claim to $5,000.
CDs sell for maybe $12 to $15.
The suit alleges the companies
prop p ed up retail prices even
though refinements in manufac
turing and other improvements
have cut the cost of making a CD
from $3 in 1983 to less than $1
now. The lawsuit was filed on
beh alf o f anyone who bought
CDs from any of the six compa
nies after June 26,1992.
The companies are EMI Music
Distribution; Sony Music Enter
tainment; Warner Elektra Atlan
tic C orp.; UNI D istrib u tio n
C orp., a u n it o f MCA M usic
Entertainm ent Group; Bertels
m ann Music Group; and Poly
gram Group Distributors.
“We believe that suit is vdioUy
without merit, and beyond that
we do not comment on matters
involving litigation,” said Dennis
P etroskey, a spokesm an for
Bertelsmann.
A lthough people d o n ’t buy
CDs directly from the manufacturers,the suit argues the manu
facturers strong-arm ed stores
into keeping prices high.
It contends the manufacturers
kept stores in line by suspending
some advertising assistance or
cutting them off if they sold CDs
below certain minimum prices.
The lawsuit was filed in Blount
County Circuit Court on behalf
of CD buyers Chris Robinson
and George Silvey. It has been
certified as a class action in 14
states and the District of Colum
bia. The six manufacturers con
trol more than 85 percent of the
$9.4 billion-a-year U.S. compact
disc industry, Ae lawsuit said.
The lawsuit was certified as a
class action in states that have
laws protecting so-called indirect
purchasers — that is, shoppers
rather than stores.
The states are: A labam a,
C alifo rn ia, F lorida, Kansas,
Maine, M ichigan, M innesota,
Mississippi, New Mexico, North
Dakota, S. Dakota, Tennessee,
W. Virginia and Wisconsin, as
well as the District of Columbia.

The N ationals, m eanwhile,
used nearly every offensive
weapon available en route to the
lopsided victory. Ken Caminiti of
the A stros and the D od ger’s
Piazza provided the long balls,
while lead off b a tte r Lance

nose in a freak accident.
The Baltimore Orioles’ short
stop was posing for a photograph
when reliever Roberto Hernan
dez o f the Chicago W hite Sox
slipp ed on the platfo rm and
struck Ripken in the nose.
Ripken, who owns the world
record for the most consecutive
games played with 2,239, had
H ernandez pop his nose back

continue playing to extend his
record.

It looks like after a 15-year low enrollment in 1995, me thinking about politics early

there’s no place to go but up.
When I start thinking about
Bob Dole and Bill Clinton, the
first thing I notice is that Bob
Dole would be a terrib le
President. Bob Dole cannot even
fathom my life, and doesn’t even
begin to understand what I want
government to do. He is, to be
cliche and blunt, out of touch.
O f course. Bill is not exacdy
Winston Churchill either. He’s a
little wishy-washy and a lot direc

for conservatives, making him
look wimpy. I hate that.
Thinking about all this made

Leap Day
This is by far my stron gest
plank. Leap Day is an anomaly.
Every four years, except years
end in g in “GO” which are not
divisible by 400 (that’s the truth),
we get this fim and exciting Leap
Day — February 29. The prob
lem is that Leap Day isn’t special
at all. It’s just another day. It
might be a Tuesday, a Thursday
or a Sunday. The point is, no one
gets anything out of Leap Day.
With this in mind, I propose
to start a new national holiday on
Leap Day. (W e’ll even call it
“Super-fun Leap Day!”). Leap
Day won’t be a “day,” though. If
F ebruary 28 is a W ednesday,
March 1 will be a Thursday. In
betw een the two will be Leap
Day.
It’ll be a celebration. And since
it isn’t a “day,” we can all get
blitzed — together. It’ll be a big
day of human unity. Ah, Utopia.
Moist Towlettes
Anyone who hangs out with
me for a while learns about my
fascination with moist towlettes.
These are those packets that are
much like baby butt wipes. I love
’em. Everyone loves them, except
for a few freaks who are probably
from New Jersey.
Well, I think moist towlettes
sho uld be used as the key to
world peace. Let’s bring a plane
load o f them to the IsraeliPalestinian peace talks. I guaran
tee they’ll have a peace agreement
within a week. I’d go over there,
hand out the sw eet-sm elling
towlettes and watch as everyoneenjoyed the refreshingly clean
pick-me-up. They’d be so happy
th at they w ould gladly seek
bipartisan support of true Middle
East peace. Ah, even m ore
Utopia.
Military Superiority
R em em ber
the
’80s?
Remember Ronald Reagan? The
world trem bled when Ron got
mad. The U.S. was a superpower.
We were such badasses that we
cru shed som e o f the w o rld ’s
g reatest arm ies. G renad a.
Panam a. Libya. T hese n e a r
superpow ers were nothing for
our well-oiled machine of mili
tary operatives.
W ith th a t in m ind, as
President, I would attack more
islands and small nations. Easter
Island? W e’ll sweep th ro u g h
w ith o u t b re ak in g a sweat.
M onaco? W e’ll attack in the
m orning and start gambling by
d in n e r tim e. H eck, I’ll even
attack Martha’s Vineyard, just for
practice.
Even better, though, would be
an invasion o f u n in h a b ite d
islands. Campaigns against these
lands would yield few casualties
(we know some idiot will shoot
hi& own foot off), b u t w ould
showcase our military strength.
The world will yet again trem
ble at the sound of the U.S. mili
tary.
Speaking of the military...
With all this hubbub over the
new space shuttle that Lockheed
Martin is going to build, I have
begun to realize that continued
support of the defense industry is
necessary. After all, the stuff they
build is ju st plain fun to play
with.
H ow ever, I d o n ’t w ant any
more warships or fighter planes. I
want a super-size orbiting space
station th at looks like a small
m oo n. Insid e this m o o n -lik e
space station will be the m ost
powerful weapon ever construct
ed. It’ll be so powerful that it can
destroy whole planets. I’ll call it
something evil like “Death Star.”
Of course, being able to blow
up the planet is a little dangerous
— I don’t really care to destroy
my home. However, we can just
leave it in second gear to annihi
late medium-sized nations. As a
bo nus, we’ll also be ready for
Independence Day II, when those
d a rn e d aliens com e back for
m ore. Thank God we survived
their first horrific assault.
M ighty M ighty B osstones at
Inauguration
This is really my own personal
thing. Screw the stuffy inaugura
tion parties and snobby balls. My
inauguration will be a concert
with festival seating and three
separate stages. The grand fmale
will be a M ighty M ighty
Bosstones concert in the White
House Rose Garden. Dole will be
rolling over in his grave. (H e’ll
drop dead when he sees me win).
•••
Yes, my Presidency will be a
great time for the United States.
Ah, Utopia.

A nd, u nless you live
un der a rock. I’m sure
you’ve seen signs of this.
Big signs, like all the bill
boards announcing “Heaven on Earth” at
the Convention Center.
“Heaven on Earth,” if you’re some sort
of lapsed religious type, is actually spon
sored by a triading card com pany, and
charges 13 bucks admission. That’s kind of
cheap, considering Heaven means eternal
salvation and stuff. But for some reason
your stay was limited to a couple hours.
And the only Angels you got to see were
the type w ho play baseball on a team
owned by a singing cowboy.
You co u ld see som e o f th o se sam e
Angels, along with other winged creatures
like Blue Jays and Cardinals, at the Vet on
Tuesday for a mere 50 bucks a seat. Any
other time of the year, 50 bucks would get
you a n ig h t w ith th e P h an atic at th e
Holiday Inn at the Stadium.
This week, t h o u ^ , 50 bucks got you a
cheap seat at the ballpark, looking down at
Drive to Reading o r Trenton or W ilm
in gton in stead . Check out the m ino r
league action to see what baseball really is.
Those guys will give you an autograph for
free. You could talk to them from the
bleachers w ithout having to raise your
voice. And when the sign says “Watch for
Foul Balls,” it means it.
Hot dogs are a buck. Reading has this
big char-grill with some sweet cheeseburg
ers. Beyond the outfield fence at Trenton is
n o th in g b u t blu e sky, trees, and the
Delaware River.
You’re not getting ripped off — you’re
getting entertained. And while your dis
tance from the field removes you from the
game at the Vet, your proxim ity to the
ballplayers makes you feel like a part of the
action in a minor league town.
I took my own advice. I watched the
All-Star Game on TV this year, and I’ll
probably catch a few MLB games at Shea
o r the Vet. But every chance I get. I’m
heading down to the farm systems. That’s
where Aey really play ball.
Nick DiFnmco is a mechanical engineering major
currently on his last co-op. His real reason for lik
ing minor league ball is, because like him. it's
cheap.

the Pope I’ve thought, “Geez,
this girl really wants attention,
eh?!” Despite her antics, though,
she has a heck of a voice that is
shown off perfectly on her addi
tion to this album, “On Raglan
Road.” I think she, and Dolores
from the Cranberries, must have
been shaken as children to cause
th e ir voices to go into such
spasm s. I d o n ’t care, it still
sounds cool.
The standout track, though, is
“C athain” by Liam O ’Maonlai
from H o th o u se Flow ers. It
sounds like Tracy Chapman on
crack. I love it.
All in all, only get this album if
you need a break for your ears. If
you do, you’ll find a pleasant CD
that offers the true expression of
m usic — honesty. And if you
happen to see a person who is all
tanked up and running around

and, voila, you have Dave Sharp.
I can picture driving my car off a
high cliff somewhere with this
CD still playing as my Acclaim
b u rsts in to flam es. The cops
w ould com e by la te r and
exclaim, “Musta been the music
that drove him to do this.” And
they would be right.
In th e g u ita r solos, if you
could call d l two seconds a solo,
it sounds like Sharp only has one
fin ger and has to plu ck the
chords out with his teeth. Like I
said, this album is painful.
The m o st an n o y in g th in g
about this record is that it sounds
like every bluesy country song I
have ever h ea rd — p u t to a
British accent, of course. Sharp is
whiny and barely reaches above a
two-note scale.
Avoid this album like down
town Philly at 3:00 a.m.
The cover art points out that
Sharp is the “Form er Vocalist
and Lead Guitarist for the British
Band, The Alarm.” Hmm, I won
der why?
This CD blows m ore than ^

It isn’t very often that I’m so
smitten by a song on the radio
that I actually hope they repeat it
over and over and over. But
t h a t’s exactly my reactio n to
“ S tan d in g O utside a B roken
Phone Booth with Money in My
H a n d ,” the debut single from
C a lifo rn ia ’s P rim itive Radio
Gods.
I was so taken by this tune —
a righteous blend of Meat Beat
M anifesto, B.B. King and ’80s
sy n th b allads — th at I hightailed it to my local music mer
chant and picked up the disc, no
q u estio n s asked. Very o u t o f
character.
D isap p o in tm en t, how ever,
was not my punishm ent for so
brash an action. My punishment
was R ocket, a disc so diverse that
m y review c a n ’t do it p ro p e r
judgem ent. I lost track o f the
influences and sim ilarities I
could hear, but check out this
abridged list:
N ine Inch Nails. A rena
anthems. Jesus Jones. Toad the
Wet Sprocket. Smashing Pump
kins. Delta blues. Public Enemy.
Linda Ronstadt.
Ok, not Linda Ronstadt. But
you get the picture.
r T his is n o t to say th a t I’ve
been left holding an instant clas
sic. This is an album that needs
time to grow on you. It’s at once
a disc for cranking up on the car
stereo and a disc for a nice night
at home playing cards with a few
buddies. There are tunes that
make you think, and tunqs that
so enrapture you that you lose all
grasp on the present moment.
I’m sorry. I’m gushing.

But I digress.
O’Connor put the whole work
together in his pal’s garage on a
sixteen-track recorder. Then he
shoved it in his closet because he
was kind of insecure. Then he
forgot about it. Then he mailed it
to Columbia Records. Now it’s
on a movie soundtrack.
It’s a genuine rags-to-riches
story, except that air traffic con
trollers are well-paid public ser
vants. But it’s still a cool way to
get an infectious groove on the
radio. And in my CD player.

We get lots of free CDs at The
T rian gle — ab o u t a dozen a
week. Many of them have a little
note on them similar to the one
that appears on the S tr ip te a s e
S o u n d tra ck . It reads something
like, “This CD is p ro p e rty o f
record company and must be
returned on demand.”
W ell, I hope the
P resid en t o f EMI
Records knocks on
my door tomorrow
asking for his CD
back, because I’ll
gladly give it back
to him — in 47
pieces.
W hat a piece
of crap this thing
is. I mean it’s got
Billy Ocean on it
for crying out loud.
Then again, look
at the movie it’s asso
ciated with. It is trying
very h a rd to n o t be
S h o w g ir ls . It is try in g so
hard, they even say in the TV
ads, “This is not Showgirls."" And
if S triptease is supposed to be so
comedic, as the ads would have
you believe, why are all the pic
tures in the liner notes so damn
serious? I smell a flop.
Too bad the so u n d tra c k is
worse than both movies.
The album s h o u ld be good,
too. Start to finish, the album’s
got a ton of ’80s tunes. Blondie,
Billy Idol, Prince and Eurythmics
are all here. It looks good on
paper. It ends up like a pile of
dog poo.
Mix in some M otown stuff
(“Gim m e Some L ovin”’ and
“ Expressway to Your H eart”)
and a Dean Martin tune, and you
have an album that a dead cat
could have produced better.
R e a lly ,
W ho do they expect to buy
this thing?
I was thinking about all the
paper and plastic that went into
the production of this disc. So I
decided that, as a gesture of
anger, you should w rite EMI
Records at 1290 Avenue of The
Americas, New York, NY 10104
and implore them to stop killing
our environment with this crap
that can only end up in our land
fills and incinerators.
I was so bored by this
thing, I thought of things
to do with this CD
instead of playing it.
You could: Use it
as a coaster. Use it
as a gift for some
one you hate. Use
it as a frisbee. Use
it as a microwave
toy.
Use it as very
in a p p ro p ria te
toilet paper.
Bring it to the
movie and give it to
the one goober who
likes the m ovie
because he can “ see
Demi M oo re’s k no ck5 .”
B londie
and
Joan
Jett
(Blackhearts and all) make this
album, just because they remind
me of elem entary school. The
rest of it is pure rotting dung.
Heaven forbid these guys try
and find some interesting bands
to put on here. Heaven forbid
they lend any sort of creativity to
the album. The result of the com
plete lackadaisical approach to
this effort is a schizop hren ic
nightmare.
Mail it to a p o o r starving
third-world country. Mail it to
EMI Records (same address as
above) and demand your money
back. Heck, mail it to Bruce and
Demi and tell them to shove it up
their ... never mind.
Just d o n ’t buy it in the first
place.

Ever heard of Dave Sharp?
Neither have I, and I don’t think
we’ll be hearing from him any
time soon.
This album is painful to listen
to. I had to stop a few times to
make sure he was not trying to
m ake a p aro dy o f bad m usic.
Some of the lyrics could cause
uncontrollable vomiting. Take a
read: “They say th a t’s life in
downtown America, and you’re
doing the best that ya can / Well,
they say that’s life in downtown
Am erica, every w om an, every
child, every man.” Barf! I haven’t
heard such stupid prose since,
“Lydia, oh Lydia, wished I didn’t
get rid of ya.”

I ’m n o t Irish , and the only

homeland I have is a little farm

birthplace of Jimmy Stewart —
not exactly the stuff songs are

So, until I can visit Ireland, I
will settle for the sounds off of

Punkos need an image change. Haircuts and sequins, that's the secret.
C om m on Ground.
Do you remember the famous
“We are the W orld” crap that
swept across America a while
ago? OK, this record is nothing
like that. It com bines such a
diverse range of artists — from
Bono, to Sinead O ’Connor, to
Kate Bush and Elvis Costello —
but still maintains the consistent,
laid back, relaxing style of Irish
music.
Funny, I never knew that the
accordion is an Irish instrument.
But Sharon Shannon does a killer
jo b with one on track four.
Come to think o f it, I haven’t
heard such ^ good song since
W eird Af did the “Alternative
