The Undergraduate Student
Government Association elec
tions were held on May 5 to 7.
Only three positions were con
tested on the ballot, but some
last-minute write-in campaigns
were staged.
This year’s elections featured
the highest voter turnout in
years, with 542 people, or 9.4
percent of the full-time undergraduate student body, casting
their votes. “We are quite happy
that there were a lot of people
who came out to vote,” USGA
elections committee member
Tara Jurasek said.
Current USGA Vice President
for Student Life and Adm in
istrative Services Taryn Foley,
who was initial
ly running un
opposed for the
position
of
USGA presi
dent, won the
race with 274
votes, despite a
late challenge by
Foley
junior
Paul
Bloom. Bloom received 25 writein votes under the alias of “Jersey
Trash,” and 2 votes for “Paul
Bloom,” for a total of 27.
In the contested races, Ryan
M. Bailey won the position of
dean of the college of business by
getting 43 votes. His opponent
Daryn Myers got 33 votes.
Leslie Ann Shea won the race
for senior class president with 41
votes. Her fellow candidates
Zoya Raynes, Lydia D. Spruill,
and Paula Bielski got 15, three,
and two votes respectively.

The Campus Activities
Board’s annual Spring Jam will
be held May 28 to 31, with the
theme “Four Daze of Craze.”
Besides the usual diverse line-up
of live bands, this year’s event
will feature some new additions.
Violent Femmes will headline
the concert, with their show
beginning at 10 p.m. on May 30.
“It’s difficult to get a decent band
for a show this time of year,
because of the tours and radio
station shows,” said CAB
Director of Special Events Jim
Maloney. “But we got Violent
Femmes, and they put on a hell

Phillies discuss baseball, and life off the field
George Papayannis

TRIANGLE STAFF
Now that the Philadelphia
Flyers have been eliminated from
the playoffs, the only game in
town is Phillies baseball. The
Triangle had the opportunity to
chat with several Phillies person
nel on May 4 before their game at
the Veterans Stadium as part of
College Media Night at the Vet.
The Phillies have a young
team this year, and were largely
unsure of their abilities at the
beginning of the year. The team
got off to a fast start this season
and briefly held the lead in the
National League East, but have
since slowed down. The Phillies
are now hovering just below
.500, behind the Atlanta Braves
and the New York Mets.
The star
Phillies franchise player and
pitching ace Curt Schilling is the
current National League leader
in strikeouts. When asked about
that, his response was, simply, “I
love striking people out, and if I
could get 27 outs on 27 strike
outs every game, you bet I’d go
for it.”
Schilling, one of the few
Phillies players to make
Philadelphia his family’s perma
nent residence, cited the quality
of the Phillies organization as his

Located across from Kelly
Hall, at 204 North 34th Street, is
the Drexel World House, which
opened in September 1997. The
house is home to 12 undergradu
ates from countries around the
world.
House director Maggie
Olszewska, Drexel’s coordinator
of community services and com
muter student programs, said,
“The [housing plan] was
designed with the thought in
mind to have international stu
dents living together with
American students so both sides
can benefit from the multicultur
al experience.”
Moreover, the housing short
age makes it a valuable resource,
according to Olszewska. The
house was previously an aban
doned University property that
had been boarded for 10 years.
The policies in the house are
basically the same as living in the
residence halls. Quiet hours are
enforced and no alcohol or drugs
are allowed. House residents do
not have organized socials often,
although the residents get
together for a movie or a pizza
party once in a while.
Olszewska, who is a native of
Poland, explained, “The [house]
atmosphere is more intimatie so
students interact with each other

Baseball lackluster, still moves to 5th place
TyChow
The Drexel baseball team had
its two-week hot streak snapped
in a disappointing week. After
winning seven games in the last
two weeks and moving into sixth
place out of eight teams in the
America East Conference, the
Dragons have lost four out of five
games since April 29. Drexel lost
three key divisional games
against Maine and one game
against Fairleigh Dickinson.
On April 29, Drexel lost a
non-divisional game to Fairleigh
Dickinson, 9-8. Both teams had
great offensive games - 25 hits
combined.
Although the Dragons jumped
out to a two run lead in the sec
ond inning, Fairleigh Dickinson
scored eight runs in the fourth
and fifth innings to take the lead
for good. Drexel gave a gallant
effort, scoring four runs in their
half of the fourth inning and two
runs in the last three innings, but
their comeback attempt fell one
run short. Fairleigh Dickinson
pitcher, Chris Potenzone went
eight innings giving up five
earned runs on nine hits for the
win; Drfexel losing pitcher Gregg
M ellott pitched four and two
thirds innings yielding nine hits
and five earned runs. Diego
Granados of Fairleigh Dickinson
pitched the last out to pick up the
save.
On May 3, Drexel played their
first of two doubleheaders in two
days against division rival Maine.
In game one, the Dragons lost in
extra innings, 15-14. Drexel
again participated in an offensive
shoot-out. The two teams com
bined for 29 runs, 31 hits, and six
pitchers. Although the Dragons
fell behind six runs in the first
three innings, Drexel was able to
take the lead with eight runs in
the sixth inning. But in the end,
the Dragons again lost by one
run. In the eleventh inning,
Drexel gave up two runs and
only scored one run.
Drexel starting pitcher and
two-time reigning America East
R ookie-of-the-W eek, Bruce
Boehm had his first sub-par out
ing in two weeks. Boehm pitched
six innings giving up ten runs,
eight earned runs, and 12 hits.
Maine pitcher, Jared Cochran
pitched the last inning to pick up
the win. Notable hitters include
Matt Neiber and Jose Jimenez of
Drexel and Rex Turner and
Kregg Jarvis of Maine. All four
sluggers had home runs in the
game.
In game two, Drexel won their
only game of the week. In anoth
er offensive game, the Dragons
won 9-5. Drexel took a 5-2 lead
in the second inning and never
trailed in the game. Drexel start
ing pitcher, Michael Sheehan
pitched five innings giving up
only three earned runs on six hits
for the win.
Maine losing pitcher, Eric
O’Brien threw only two innings
giving up six hits and five runs.
Dragons’ pitcher, Joel Beaton
pitched the last third inning to
pick up the save. Drexel’s offense
was lead by shortstop, Dennis
Helkowski, who went 2-for-3 in
the game.
On May 4, Drexel played their
second doubleheader o f two
against Maine. The Dragons
were swept in this twin set.
Drexel lost game one 6-3 and
game two 5-3. In both games,
Drexel gave up late inning leads
in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Brian Anderson received the
most votes of anyone running in
this year’s elections, receiving
275 votes. Anderson won the
position of vice president for
academic affairs and provost. He
was running unopposed.
The confirmed winners will be
sworn in at the end of this term,
and will take office at the begin
ning of summer term.
Another election will be held
in the fall to fill freshman posi
tions, as well as any still unfilled
positions.
No write-in candidate infor
mation was available at press
time, as the USGA must review
the qualifications of the write-in
candidates before any of them
are awarded positions.
“We had a landmark year, as
far as improving USGA’s image
on campus goes,” Foley told The
Triangle. “The growth the
University is experiencing is pro
ducing a negative view on cam
pus, and now we heed to turn
that around.**

tion, Foley said, “They have a lot
of things to think about right
now - USGA’s job is to make
sure that students’ needs are on
top of that list.”
Regarding improving studentadministration relations, Foley
said, “I think what we really need
to do is have a more open form
of communication between fac
ulty and students.” Foley men
tioned her desire to improve
school spirit throughout the
interview.
She also identified the houtii^
crisis and liftiiig the ban on court
drops in the Main Building at
issues which her administration
will need to focus on.
Addressing the biggest obsta
cles she might face in her capaci
ty as president, Foley said,
“Every student government has
obstacles. Until we get in there
with the new officers and see
what things are like, I really can’t
say (what obstacles might exist].”
Foley, a pre-junior triple
major in international business',
marketing, and finance, served as
USGA speaker in 1995-96. She is
also a member of the Delta Zeta
aorority and treasurer of the
PanheUenic Society.

debuted in 1982 with their self
titled album that contained quin
tessential '80s song "Blister in
the Sun.” The three-man group’s
unique brand of quirky party
rock has been going ever since,
in the same vein as groups
Talking Heads and They Might
Be Giants.
Drexel bands Forever 27 and
Seven will play earlier in the day,
as will local bands Green Eggs

Wilson.
Yolk,
a
Binghamton, NY quintet, will
open for Violent Femmes.
Another headline act is being
pursued — most likely a rap or
hip-hop act — but nothing was
confirmed at press time.
Spring Jam will kick off on
Thursday, May 28, when 97.5
FM WPST will be in the Quad
from 12 to 2 p.m. The radio sta
tion’s big attraction will be a pro
motional game they are currently
playing. The player must roll
eight dice with letters on them,
and if the word “explorer” is
rolled, the player wins a Ford
Explorer. Chances of winning are
approximately one in 1,679,616.
Austin Powers, International
Man of Mystery will be shown
later that night at 9 p.m. in the
Quad. The annual outdoor
movie showing was moved from
Buckley Green to the Quad this
year, in order to take advantage
of the Quad’s better visual and
audio effects, according to
Maloney. Free snacks will also be
available.
A “South Park Sleepover” had
been planned for Friday, May 29,
but it was cancelled when CAB
could not receive permission
from Comedy Central to show
the cult hit and sometimes offen
sive show. Instead, CAB will be
sponsoring a trip to Veterans
Stadium for a Phillies game, call
ing it “A Trip to a Park in South
Philly.” Transportation to and
from the game will also be pro
vided. Information on how to
obtain a ticket will be forthcom
ing, for what Spring Jam com
mittee member Steve Carle called
“some kick-ass seats.” The seats
Carle is referring to are in section
203 on the left-field line, and 100
tickets are available. The game is
against the New York Mets.
The music will begin at 3 p.m.
on Saturday, May 30, when
Green Eggs and Spam takes the
stage on Buckley Field. Two
stages will be set up on the turf
field at 33rd and Arch Street; the
main stage will be at the south
east corner of the field, while the
main stage (which is being spon
sored by Music and More) will
be set up on the northwest cor
ner. The Drexel bands and
Sneaky Rats will perform on the
side stage, while Ae other bands

sell CDs and other items.
The Spring Jam Festival also
gets kicked off at 3 p.m. on May
30 and will feature such activities
as Laser Tag, a giant joust, and
make-your-own candles. Free Tshirts and frisbees will be given
out, and free barbecue dinners
will be available for all takers.
On Sunday, May 31 at noon,
W K D U will be putting on an
afternoon of electronic music on
Buckley Field. This event is not
sponsored by CAB.
Later on Sunday, at 6 p.m., the
first-ever

the talent show will be available
Monday, May 11 at the CAB
Office at 1025 MacAlister Hall.
Information sessions regarding
the show will be held on May 13
in 226 Creese and May 14 in
2020 MacAlister, and attendance
at one of the sessions is manda
tory for students wishing to
enter. “Students can do music,
acting, whatever they want,” said
Spring Jam committee member
Greg Mattox.
Students will be judged on
their originality, creativity, and
level of difficulty. The judges will
be a panel of members of various
student organizations. The big
draw for the show is the prize —

For the purposes of creating a
multicultural experience, at least
one of the 12 undergraduates will
always be American. Currently,
there are two Americans living in
the house. The other students
living in the house now are from
Brazil, England, Israel, Jordan,
Korea, Mexico, Peru, Poland,
Spain, Taiwan, and the United
Arab Emirates.
Most of the students in the
house are students from Drexel’s
English Language Center. There
is no formal application process
to live there.
The student is simply inter
viewed to see if he would be able
to contribute to the program as
well as benefit from it.
“I think the house is function
ing very well. The students
respect each other and interact
with each other very well. It’s a
fun place to be,” Olszewska said.
Phillies Curt Schilling, Terry Francona, and
Chris Wheeler discuss life in the big league
Phillies from page 1
reason for not leaving the team a
year or two ago, when he could
have gotten more money else
where.
Schilling fielded questions on
all sorts of topics, everything
from his opinion of umpires
(“We as players have to be nice
to the umpires publicly, because
like it or not, sometimes they do
carry grudges.”) to his tobacco
problem (“I ’ve been tobacco-free
for seven weeks, and it was by far
the hardest thing I ’ve ever had to
do in my life, but I ’ve kicked
it.”).
The manager
The next famous person who
spoke to the press was 38-yearold Terry Francona, the Phillies
manager. Francona registered a
68-94 record in his first season
with the Phillies last year, includ
ing a 44-33 run after the All-Star
break.
Francona took some ques
tions from the audience, on top
ics ranging from Scott Rolen’s
current slump (“He’s only 23
years old, he’ll come around.”)
to his thoughts on inter-league
play (“If the fans like it, if it’s
good for baseball, then we can
handle it.”).
Francona also made it clear
that the team’s youth was a big
factor in his expectations for the
team. “Since we don’t know how
good we are, we don’t really set
concrete goals,” Francona said.
“As cliche as it sounds, we just
send them out there and tell
them to do their best every
game.”
The announcer
Chris Wheeler, the Phillies’
T V announcer, came out and
talked for a bit. Wheeler exuded
optimism the entire time and
showcased his love for the game
of baseball.
He also related his personal
success story to the audience, all
the way from being a kid grow
ing up in Delaware County and
listening to the Phillies on the
radio to getting his big break in
the broadcasting booth one
charmed night in Montreal in the
1970s.
Having achieved his lifelong
dream, Wheeler told the crowd,
“Don’t ever let someone tell you
that you can’t do something.”
Additionally, Wheeler shared
some anecdotes from his years of
working the broadcast booth
with Harry Kalas and the late
Richie Ashburn.
Wheeler mentioned that he
loved his job so much that he got
divorced over it.

Future of Greek
system looks
bright
C ris is fo r th e B o a rd
Drexel’s housing crisis indicates poor management of
the University’s growth and threatens the credibUity of
University President Constantine Papadakis. Reports
vary, citing between 59 and 500 students for whom the
University does not yet have any housing, Hundreds
more will live in hotels, tripled dorm rooms, and apart
ments far from campus.
The crisis extends beyond basic management to an
issue of oversight and strategic planning, which should
involve the Board o f Trustees. Drexel’s housing crisis
should therefore be a major topic of discussion at the
meeting of the Board of Trustees on May 13.

Chris Puzak: Distorting the Medium
O u t o f a Ja m
Earlier this term , the Campus A ctivities Board
promised students a '"South Park Sleepover” as an event
for Spring Jam. The idea was good, because — let’s face
it — college kids seem to love the sick-humored show
on Comedy Central. Of course, it seems that no one at
CAB contacted Comedy Central to see if it was OK.
After CAB began advertising the event, Com edy
Central told CAB that it could not show the programs.
Give CAB credit, though. It may have botched the
South Park marathon, but CAB was able to turn a mis
take into a real event, a trip to a Phillies game at
Veterans Stadium. It is a funny play on words — “A Trip
to a Park in South Philly” — and a good way to enter
tain people.

Taco Bell, Lucent and drug
dealing birds are stupid
have w ritte n about advertising
m any tim es. M y firs t co lu m n
fo r The T ria n g le was about a
Drexel ad. In this special “ w rite r’s
b lo c k ” e d itio n o f D is t o r t in g the
M e d iu m advertising is once again
th e s u b je c t. A n y o n e w h o is
unhappy w ith this is advised to go
shoot homeless people o r whatev
er it is you people do when you are n o t reading m y
colum n.
O n ly an id io t could dream up som ething like the
Lucent T echnologies com m ercials. I f you haven’t
seen them, they consist o f some unseen guy typ in g
the ad on a c o m p u te r screen. I d o n ’t kn o w a bout
you, b u t Td feel a littie uncom fortable b u ying any
th in g fro m some g u y w ho refuses to be seen and
o n ly com m unicates th ro u g h the co m p u te r. W h a t
does this guy do in his spare tim e, stalk teen-aged
g irls in A O L chatroom s? I guess we w ill k n o w fo r
c e rta in i f th e c o m p a n y changes th e ir m o tto to
“ L u c e n t T e c h n o lo g ie s : A re Y o u W e a rin g
Underwear?”
A n o th e r stupid ad is the one 1 saw in the subway
fo r M o to ro la cellular phones. I f you haven' seen it,
it consists o f a p a rro t dressed lik e a d ru g dealer
a d ve rtisin g the new c e llu la r phone. In m y m in d ,
there are tw o types o f d ru g dealers:
A : Scarface. T h is d ru g dealer takes the tim e to
inve n t cool catch-phrases like “ D o n ’t get h ig h o ff
y o u r ow n supply” and when the chips are dow n, he
gives the people w hat they w ant b y snorting a k ilo o f
cocaine and d yin g in a hail o f bullets.
B; Slappy, The Incom petent Dope Pusher. T his is
the guy w ho sells M etam ucil as “ something that w ill
make you hig h e r than a kite. A n d regular to o .” I f
Congress ever gets around to authorizing a needleexchange p ro g ra m , th is g u y is g o in g to be selling
them to people \ ^ o need a fix o f K o o l-A id o r w ant
■
to f ilm an e p is o d e o f K id s I n j e c t the D a r n d e s t
T h in g s ! T h is g u y gives dealers everyw here a bad
name.
A n yw a y, lam e slogans lik e “ G et on the p o in t
w ith the pre-pay jo in t” and “ W o rd ! Take it fro m the
b ird !” surround this b ird .
T his is obviou sly n o t a d ru g dealer w ith any sense
o f style, and therefore cannot be trusted. A n d i f you
can’t tru st y o u r local d ru g - dealing fo w l fo r a steady
supply o f cocaine, yo u ce rta in ly can’t tru st them to
sell cellular phones.
Speaking o f anim als, I can’t stand that dog Taco
Bell has haw king th e ir fo o d these days. 1 d o n ’t care
h o w cute an an im a l is, I am n o t goin g to b u y the
s w ill served at T aco B ell and passed o f f as fo o d .
U n fo rtu n a te ly, people seem to be easily swayed by
this ad cam paign, and are b u y in g p le n ty o f M e x im elts and M ad C ow Disease Surprise. I ju s t w o rry
th a t the Drexel cafeteria is g oing to catch on to this
tactic:
A n n o u n c e r: W e ’ve a ske d o u r spokesm an H a r r y
the H a p p y R a t to speak on b e h a lf o f the D re x e l cafe
teria:
H a r r y : A t Drexel, we d o n 't ju s t p ro v id e y o u w ith
sub standard food. We place a p re m iu m on f ill in g y o u
f u l l o f t h a t y u m m y E. C o li v iru s . G e t r i d o f t h a t
a n n o y in g digestive tra c t b y e a tin g a t D r e x .. . A h h h ! ”
(sou nd ^ H a r r y ' s th r o a t be in g cut)
A n n o u n c e r : S o rry f o lk s , H a r r y 's needed a t the
entree bar:
H a r ry : V iv a . .. G o rjita s !" ( H a r r y dies)
I personally fin d advertising annoying because it
treats the audience lik e id io ts and it seems ineffec
tive.
A n d I am especially bothered b y the fact that the
Lucent Technologies gu y keeps leaving d ir ty mes
sages on m y answering m achine.

Fitzgerald to ld students that the U nive rsity
looks fo rw a rd to w elco m in g all o f us in to
the D rexel a lu m n i fa m ily after we g ra d u
ate. D rexel has a p p ro x im a te ly 71,000 liv
ing alum ni.

requests fo r m oney fro m the O ffice o f the
A n n u a l F u n d . D u r in g th e lu n c h e o n , I
talked w ith several seniors about w hether
o r n o t th e y p la n to c o n trib u te m o n e y to
Drexel,
These se n io rs said “ n o .” T h e y m ig h t
g iv e m o n e y to s p e c ific p ro g ra m s a n d
scholarships, they to ld me, b u t they do n o t
■
in te n d to give m oney to D rexel’ s general
funds because they do not feel that Drexel,
as a whole, has treated them well.
T h e ir com m ents are echoed b y m any
students. Students often feel a strong con
n e ctio n w ith th e ir fra te rn ity , s o ro rity , o r
student organization, b u t do not feel co m
m itte d to the U n iv e rs ity itse lf. Students
and adm inistrators often attribute this dis
sociation to the fragm entation o f student
life , w hich is due in great part to the onagain, off-again calendar fo r students who
participate in the co-op program . Students
and faculty continue to discuss the “ Drexel
shaft,” an abstract term th a t is used gener
a lly to describe students’ fru s tra tio n w ith
U n ive rsity bureaucracy.
I feel differently. I f I ever make enough
m oney to contribute to anyone, I probably
w ill c o n trib u te to D rexel. Perhaps this is
s u rp ris in g , since I have o b v io u s ly spent
m a n y h o u rs w r it in g c o lu m n s th a t are
somewhat c ritic a l o f the D rexel establish
m ent.
There is, o f course, an a rb itra ry nature
to being an alum nus o f a p a rticu la r school.
M a n y D re xe l students c o u ld ju s t as w ell
have attended Lehigh, Carnegie M ellon, o r
even the U niversity o f C incinnati. So, w hy
give m o n e y o n ly to Drexel? F or me, m y
c o m m itm e n t is not because Drexel is the
place where I was educated. It is because
Drexel is the place where I grew up.
I have been lucky at Drexel to have the
chance to be involved in m any a ctivitie s
that deal w ith the entire campus, like the
U n d e rg ra d u a te S tu d e n t G o v e rn m e n t
Association, the Campus A ctivities Board,
and T he T ria n g le . I have also had the
o p p o r t u n it y to m eet som e o f D re x e l’ s
m ost dedicated alum ni, like George Ross,
fo r m e r c h a irm a n o f D re x e l’s B o a rd o f
T ru s te e s , a nd C h u c k P e n n o n i, fo r m e r
Drexel CEO and cu rren t chairm an o f the
Board o f Trustees.
These people and these student orga ni
zations have given me the chance to devel
op an interest in D rexel th a t I w o u ld n o t
have h a d i f m y o n ly k n o w le d g e o f th e
a d m in istra tio n was m y contact w ith OSIR,
financial aid, and the co m p tro lle r’s office.
T h e y have show n me D re xe l at its v e ry
best.
But I also have seen Drexel at its worst. I
have seen friends in the a d m in istration get
fired. I have seen fo rm e r President Breslin
G e t in s id e th e :
attacked p u b lic ly and then forced to resign
by people he used to count as his friends. I
have had fo u r adm inistrators yell at me in
th e ir office fo r an h o u r because they did
not like m y newspaper colum n. A nd I have
seen student life at D rexel deemphasized
significantly over the past three years.
I recognize, however, that p olitics and
b u re a u cra cy exist in a il large o rg a n iza
tio n s , and I d o n o t h o ld these events
against the U niversity itself. Every univer
sity w ill always have problems.
Every university w ill always have people
w ho create problems. But every university
also w ill have people to fix them.
So, I w ill c o n trib u te to D rexel fo r the
very same reason that m any other students
w ill n o t c o n tr ib u te — because D re x e l
U niversity is n o t perfect. Because students’
e x p e rie n c e h e re can be b e tte r. A n d
because s u p p o rtin g the school — w hile
staying invo lve d — seems to be the best
w ay to ensure th a t stud ents w ho attend
Drexel in the fu tu re w ill have the very best
experience possible.

Poison Idea album s are hard
to c o m e b y. So I was p r e t ty
h appy to fin d this classic album
b y one th e best ban d s to ever
emerge fro m the West Coast.
T h is a lbum is a d e fin ite p ro
gression fr o m th e ir e a rly days,
w ith the songs being longer than
the short, speedy tunes fo u n d on
th e ir debut Pick Y o u r K in g .
S t ill, songs lik e “ P la s tic
B o m b ” and "D e a th o f an Id io t
B lues” prove th a t even th o u g h
th e b a n d has b e c p m e a l i t t l e
m o re a d e p t at w r it in g m u s ic ,
th e y have lo s t n o n e o f th e ir
intensity o r conviction.
A ltho ugh a lo t o f the alb u m is
fille d w ith extrem ely fast songs,
slow er num bers lik e “ A la n ’s on
F ire ” and the title tra c k p ro v e
O f all the h a rd co re bands to
come o u t o f New Y o rk, I w ou ld
have to say that Agnostic F ront is
probably m y favorite. T his com
p ila tio n o f th e ir first tw o albums
is especially nice, as it co n ta in s
m o s t o f t h e ir cla s s ic s in o n e
place.
T h e fir s t a lb u m o n th e d isc
Cause f o r A la r m is chock fu ll o f
speedy m e ta llic riffs courtesy o f
g u ita ris t V in n ie Stigm a and the
d is tin c tiv e s h o u tin g o f v o c a lis t
R o g e r M ir e t . A g n o s tic F r o n t
classics lik e "T h e E lim in a t o r ”
and “ T o x ic Shock” are evidence
o f w h y th is b a n d is so h ig h ly
regarded.
T he second a lb u m V ic t im in
P a in is n o t quite as polished, b u t
n o less intense. S ta n d o u t songs
o n th is a lb u m in c lu d e th e title
track, “ U n ite d and S trong” and
“ Power.” I f you are a fan o f hard
core, then you owe it to yourself
to bu y this album .
W hile I personally th in k their
latest album F u ll Speed A h e a d is
the best w o rk they’ve ever done,
that doesn’t mean D .R .I.’s excel
le n t d e b u t a lb u m is n ’ t w o r th
buying.
The band manages to cram 28
songs o n to a 26 m in u te album ,
an d n o t a s e c o n d is w a s te d .
A lthough the theme o f the music
is lim ite d to tw o to p ic s : “ life
s u c k s ” and “ th e g o v e rn m e n t
sucks,” D.R.I. manages to create
m em orable songs, despite th e ir
brevity.
Songs lik e “ I D o n ’ t N eed
Society” and “ Couch Slouch” are
su re to m a ke a n y p u n k fa n
happy.

Godzilla: The Movie
You can't escape the ads, even if you try
Once in a while, I find nnyself among the
majority. Even when that means being
tricked into believing the hype, I won't
complain. Godzilla returns on May 20, as
the ads have bombarded us since New
Year's Eve. I was hesitant to embrace the
giant beast, but the hype has gotten to
me. The teasing theatrical trailers, the
excessive billboards on public transit, and
the incredibly tacky punch line, "Size
Does Matter," add up to a "must-see"
event for my summer. The movie itself
probably sucks, but it should make a
good topic of conversation, which is
worth the price of admission.

Pita
Your food won't fall out
Pita bread rocks! It has a convenient
pocket that people can stuff with
whatever things please their sick little
minds. Even small items such as olives,
onions, or hot peppers snugly fit and
won't fall out. It is so strong it can hold
up to the five-inch thickness of turkey
slices or other edible objects inside. I'm
not talking about the Taco Bell type of
pitas but the real ones that have
substance and include an actual pocket.
One can toast them for a warm and
crunchy effect, or microwave them
along with your favorite filling. People
can even make a dessert: try fudge. It is
an easy treat that people can make for
themselves. If you don't have the
change, you at least have the pocket!
