The College of Literature and Writing (LTWR) has scheduled three classes after 6 PM this spring, but two of them are on the same night and none are core classes. One is a 500 class oriented toward those who want to teach writing. "I couldn't believe there are so few classes in my major. It's atrocious. The fulltime worker who is a part-time student has been let down," said Sharon Hambly, who has attended CSUSM for 2 years and has only major classes left to complete. Hambly enrolled in one LTWR class and a children's literature course offered through the College of Education next semester. "Tuition is the same for one or two classes, so I elected to take a class that will not apply to my major. It is of interest to me, at least," she explained. Professor Kenneth Mendoza, program director, said that a fourth course was proposed, but there was no room available with the equipment needed for the class. "We recognize the difficulty working students have in taking courses, however, the Literature and Writing Studies Program must ensure that we have the best faculty available to teach our courses, and we must ensure that we fill enrollments in all classes," he said. In the past, Mendoza said, the program has had to cancel several evening classes because of poor enrollment. "In these situations, if the faculty member is an adjunct professor, they lose a teaching position and students lose a class," he added. John Rodriguez, another LTWR major, said he is waiting to get laid off from his job so he can complete his required courses during the day. He has been a night-school student on and off for four years. "Cal State San Marcos has abandoned the night school student they originally encouraged to attend," Rodriguez said. Junior Laura Hopkins will enroll at Palomar College because of the limited classes available at CSUSM. "It's disappointing, but I'll take this opportunity to complete a lowerdivision requirement," she said. John Picha, who works full-time, has one required class remaining to complete his degree. But he won't be able to do it next semester, because it isn't offered at night. He plans to take a class or two and wait until he can get the class he needs. "I like this school because it's small and close by. The size of the school probably has a lot to do with the scheduling problems," he suggests.

"Scheduling requires faculty members who are available to teach evening courses and also a significant population of students to fill those courses," he added. That doesn't help junior Betsy Miltmore, however. "By next semester, I'll be a poor, starving student," she said. She is unable to fulfill the requirements of the LTWR major with the present night classes offered. "I've decided to quit my fulltime job and look for another offering fewer, more flexible hours," she said, adding that the most popular classes in her major are offered only during the day. The greatest hope for night school students is larger enrollment, according to Mendoza. "We do have a commitment to serve our entire student population. As our program grows, both in faculty and working students, we will be able to offer more evening, and perhaps even weekend, courses," he said.

The symbolism is hard to miss. It is like an unfinished portrait awaiting its final brush strokes. But Dr. Alexander Gonzalez, CSUSM's dynamic interim president, is painting that canvas with his vision for the university's focus direction, and future. Gonzalez met with the Pride last week to discuss his first semester in office and his vision for creating an identity for GSUSM. His office, a reflection of the man, is well appointed but still efficient and organized. And though his shirtsleeves weren't rolled up, his loosened tie and a dress shirt had lost its crispness to the workday fit the image of a hands-on administrator. He answered questions with an openness and frankness that exuded confidence in himself and his abilities to get the job done. The first order of business was defining his role in the campus hierarchy. "I'm the leader of the university. I'm the boss. I'm responsible for everything," he said. Clarifying the special nature of his appointment, Photo by John Rodriguez he added, "With the interim position, it's a little different Dr. Alexander Gonzalez, President of CSU San Marcos, sets his sights on the future and in that I didn!t go through the search process.

Neither of these tax credits can be applied for summer or winter sessions. Both HOPE and Lifetime Learning were designed to help middleincome students who are not eligible for financial aid or other taxfree educational assistance. There is a maximum income level requirement for eligibility in both programs whirh will phagpH in gradually. Eventually, 12.9 million students are expected to benefit from the two tax credits. CSUSM will not notify students about eligibility for either tax credit. Students must initiate them. Phillips and Ojeda suspect that a form similar to the present W-2 will be sent to students explaining more about the process. But because next year will be the first time that the tax credits are implemented, not much more information about either is available yet. Although the Tax Relief Act of 1997 is basically designed for future students, it also offers a break for those who are about to graduate and are worried about paying back student loans. "Any interest paid on a student loan on or after Jan. 1,1998, is deductible, as long as the student is in the first five years of his or her payments," Phillips said. The Tax Relief Act also has a break for those who are not old enough to attend college as yet. It will be possible, starting Jan. 1, to create Education Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) for any child under 18. Contributions are limited to $500 a year, and earnings in the Education IRA will accumulate tax-free, and no tax due upon withdrawal provided the money is used to pay for post-secondary tuition and fees.But students receiving grants, scholarships, or other taxfree educational assistance are ineligible f or this b enefit. E-Mail Vivien Parry news editor B Y M ARJAN NAHVANDI f you're a first- or second-year college student paying your own tuition, you may qualify for a new tax credit next year, but only if you wait until after Jan. 1 to pay your tuition. The tax credit is available under the HOPE scholarship program, which is part of the Tax Relief Act of 1997, which becomes effective on Jan. 1,1998. Here's how it works: If you're enrolled in 6 or more units, working towards a degree, pay your own tuition and are in the first two years of your education, you may qualify for the HOPE tax credit. According to Paul Phillips, CSUSM director of Financial Aid and Scholarships, such a credit is a dollar-for-dollar deduction. "It is the best form of tax break," he adds. Students who qualify will receive a 100 percent tax credit for their first $1,000 of tuition and required fees, and a 50 percent credit on their second $1,000. But only those payments made on or after Jan. 1 count. So, if a student pays $1,600 in tuition and fees in 1998, he or she would receive a tax break of $1,300 on the taxes due April 15,1999. Michele Ojeda, supervisor of Financial Aid Accounting, stressed students who receive any kind of scholarship or grant cannot qualify for HOPE. "You have to pay your own fees out of pocket to benefit from HOPE credit," Ojeda adds. There is also some new tax relief for those students who have been in school for more than two years and who do not qualify for HOPE. It's the Lifetime Learning tax credit, a 20 percent deduction the first $5,000 of tuition and required fees paid each year through 2002, and for the first $10,000 thereafter. It applies to payments made on or after July 1,1998. But, like HOPE, to be eligible for Lifetime Learning, students must be paying their own tuition. Unlike HOPE, however, there is no time 1 The Pride C SUSan MAreos San Marcos, CA. 92096-001 pride@mailhostLcsusm.edn Gabriel Lundeen entertainment editor Tom Nolan faculty advisor Boycott continued from PAGE 2 tion. Currently CSUSM operates t he c opy c enter on c ampus, which draws $48,000 per year f rom the u niversity's g eneralfund, according to Susan Green, assistant vice president of Administrative Services at CSUSM. She added that copy machines have been strategically placed throughout campus, including in the library, computer lab and career center. Since CSUSM already has a copy service, she added, stu- dents and administration need to do "what we can to make it w ork." The goal, she said, is to make the copy center self-supporting within two years. Of five students randomly polled in Founders Plaza, only one had heard of the copy center, which is in the new one-story building next to the faculty and staff parking lot. "I read something about it at orientation," the student, a 21- year-old psychology major, said. "But i sn't it for faculty only?"

She also said the center usually advertises in the Pride at the start of each semester, but "since there was not an editor, we didn't this time."

I would have to ^ ^ ^ ^ say that, as a communication major, it was a a ^ ^ difficult journey. Difficult? Well, for starters, the communications department did not even exist back then. In the beginning, I had to declare my major as Liberal Arts. I was told that, within the next year, communications courses would be available, at which point I could change my major. This turned out not to be the case. Though, by the Fall 1996 semester there were four communications classes on the schedule and I signed up for all four, three of them were canceled two weeks prior to the semester start. Supposedly, this was because the university did not have enough professors. Although greatly inconvenienced, I managed to get into a couple of sociology and psychology classes that eventually were acceptable for a communications major. I feel I lost some of the education I would have received if the department had been up and running sooner. In addition to the sociology and psychology classes, I had to complete six units of Independent Studies in order to graduate this semester. Why? Because, again, the classes I needed last semester were could come to the campus once a week and have an eightweek semester or eight-week course. They could go yearround with one course rather than two semesters at two courses each. Those are the kind of things that we need to do here and I think we're starting to do that." Gonzalez firmly believes that San Marcos will have no problem gaining full Accreditation, "I don't really think that it's an issue. I think that by the time that I leave here in two years, and we're actually going through the visit, there shouldn't be any problem with the standards by which we judge institutions," he said. Gonzalez noted that in time he would like to see students become more than just customers. Those who maintain a "get-in, get-out" attitude, he added, "are coming to the university for the wrong reasons. We need to shift the focus from teaching to learning, move it from the faculty member to the student. That's not to take anything away from the faculty, but make the faculty less responsible for the teaching part of it and make the student more responsible for the learning part of it." not available. But, I also feel that the struggles have made me stronger The Independent Studies program, is an excellent way to acquire hands-on experience with media analysis. I recommend it highly. Today, the Communications Department is finally up and running. Although there are not nearly as many communications majors as hoped, the classes grow a little bigger each semester. Some new professors have been hired: helping to make the program more diversified. Bud Morris was hired as head of the department this fall He is a welcome addition. So, too, is Professor Lora Coad, who has helped show many students the path to graduation. Many would have gotten lost without her help. It's nice in one way to belong to a department that is fairly small. For the most part, we communications majors have become good friends. Whereas the business and liberal arts departments have hundreds of students, the Communications Department is more like an extended family. Anywhere from 5 tol 5 of us often get together to talk about how we're going to get through the semester. It's a strong bond. This semester, too, I was able to sign up for a full load of classes in my major. It appears that next semester will be even more promising. Although many of the classes overlap, several new types are being added. When I began 2 years ago, there wasn't a single communications class. Many of my peers thought I was out of my mind to think I could graduate with a communications degree. Well, I did it, and others will follow suit in the spring Professor Coad once asked me how it felt to be a "pioneer." At the time, I told her I wasn't interested in being one since I just wanted to graduate. But, now that I look back, I do feel pretty 'pioneerish. And, guess what? It isn't that bad. Within my time here, I have seen the school grow tremen dously. There are more students than ever this semester, freshmen and sophomores, but also less available parking spaces. Buildings are being constructed to make room for next spring's new arrivals. I'm happy to say that I will not be here to have to make room for them. My final thoughts are simple: When I return in years to come to see how the school has grown, I ask only one small favor: PLEASE BIUBLD MORE PARKING LOTS! �Youths at risk: 'Severe' hate crimes on the rise B Y S HARON H AMBLY A w^L #^ lthough hate crimes are down recently in San Diego County, the severity of such attacks has increased and they continue to be com mitted most frequently by young individu - JL - MLals, according to a new county report. The report by the San Diego City and County Hate Crimes Registry is based on 123 verified offenses reported by county law enforcement agencies between December 1995 and December 1996. Gayle Falkenthal, public affairs director at the San Diego District Attorney's office, said, "Hate crimes are a young crime for both the defendants and the victims. At least this is what all the statistics show. This is very surprising be- cause with all the culture and diversity exposure today, it should be less. But hate crimes mostly affect those under 21 years of age." The annual report also said that the younger the assailants, the more likely they are to attack in groups of two or more. Some 84 percent of those under 21 participated only in group attacks, it added."Why is the message not being received? We need to talk about it, report it, and see that it is dealt with very aggressively by the police," said Falkenthal.The U.S. Attorney's Office has called for the formation of a new work group to ensure that San Diego develops a coordinated effort to respond to, investigate, prosecute and prevent such crimes. The San Diego Hate Crimes Community Working Group will be chaired by Anti-Defamation League Regional Director Morris Casuto and will largely consist of education and religious leaders, since they guide youth groups in school and church. "To be a hate crime it must be a crime first: assault or vandalism. A victim must be picked out and targeted for who or what they are. Hate crimes are not speech, flyers, web sites or speakers. These are considered our freedom of speech and they are protected," Falkenthal said. "A hate crime is a crime because it causes everyone else that is a member of the group to fear that they may be targeted for the same reason or because of who they are. For example, if you walk down a street and are robbed, you can change the stret you use, but you can not change it if you are black or gay." On Dec. 1, the Anti-Defamation League began providing information about hate crimes and contacts for community resources on its World Wide Web site. Its address is www.sandiego.adl.org. "It is incumbent upon our community to ensure that no victim is left invisible; that each individual's worth as a human being is reaffirmed," Casuto said. The report recommended that schools should be a major site for anti-hate efforts since 53 percent of the hate-crime assailants were 20 or developmental programs, beginning with preschool, to promote positive social attitudes and behaviors. Diversion programs that target at-risk youth to bring about behavioral change through education and understanding should also be developed, it added. San Marcos grads "surge" into the real world: New cafe opens for buisiness B Y D EBBIE H OLDERBY he graduation cer emony is over. Bach elor degree in hand, it's time for students to ask the big question: "What now?" Well, for Mark DuBois, a graduate of CSUSM in May 1996, it was s omething he h adn't r eally planned on. DuBois, a Spanish major, originally planned to travel the world and teachlinglish after earning his degree. "But my experiences at CSUSM were so positive, I didn't want to leave. I realized that I wanted to give something back to the university and the community of San Marcos," he said. So he filed an application with the city to open a coffee shop. The result, the Power Surge Cafe, which opened on Dec. 1 near the CSUSM campus. Looking out of a window at the cafe toward the campus, DuBois said, "I want Power Surge to be the kind of place where students can come and spread out their books and talk. If one person makes a friend or learns something here, it will be worth it." Located on the corner of Barham and Twin Oaks Drives, the old house destined to become the Power Surge C afe i ntrigued DuBois as a student. "I used to drive by this place on the way to school and think, *Gee, someone should open a coffee shop here. What a perfect place!' I used to study with my friends on campus and we wished there were someplace close by where we could go and relax for a while. "I just never thought I'd be the one doing this." It took him a year to turn his dream into reality. San Marcos required building plans, tremendous paperwork and compliance with health department regulations that were "thick as a telephone book," he said. But DuBois was determined. " I've gained so much experience in the last year, I feel like I've earned a master's degree in Life 101," he added. DuBois said he has been overwhelmed by the support offered by well wishers. "People just want to h elp," he a dded. "They have painted, helped lay concrete, decorated and offered lots of suggestions and ideas." A well-rounded team of partners and friends do- nated countless hours of time anc effort to the opening of the cafe he added.

It founding member, Robert Nanniga, complained that some of his Pagan bumper stickers had been stolen on campus, while other PAN members said they, had received hate mail via campus e-mail for wearing Faith pins. Nanniga said PAN wants to create a forum to help people interested in alternative spirituality find a haven in an earth-based spirituality that doesn't negate other dominant rel&tions. PAN member Samantha Cahill said, "The club is being formed in response to a perceived lack of inclusion of individuals involved in alternative faith systems. The club will engage in outreach and public education as members seek to promote acceptance, diversity, understanding and, above all else, respect for people involved in spiritual quests." Nanniga said he expects controversy due to intolerance, misunderstanding and lack of education. "We are seeking truths other than what's been given to us by mainstream western dogma," he said, adding, "Spirituality is a tool, not a weapon." PAN, he added, has a strong environmental base. "As this campus develops, if we don't take earth spirits into consideration, we are only going to have a cement cathedral," he said. Nanniga said the club is open to all and its direction wilt be determined by its membership. Old age to new age faiths, and even those associated with main stream religions are welcome, he said, noting that, "We are a collage of people seeking spiritual identity that accepts all interpretations." Interested individuals can contact Cahill at cahil002. Gray whales migrate south B Y JENNIFER S CHRAMM Well, it's approaching that time again. The gray whales are on their way south for the winter. The gray whale has the longest migration route of any mammal on earth: 12,000 miles roundtrip! First, they feed in the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea for about four months and then begin a 6,000-mile, three-month trip to the warm waters of Baja California to mate or give birth. After spending about two months in the lagoons or shallow waters off Baja, they make their trip back to the Arctic. That takes them another three months. The gray is a baleen whale (a filter feeder); it doesn't have teeth. It feeds on bottom-dwellers, shrimp-like animals that seldom exceed an inch in length, small fish, squid and aquatic crabs. The whales strain these small creatures from the seawater with their rows of outside edged, baleen plates lined around the roof of their mouths. Their initial skin color is black. They get their name from the white barnacles and white blotchy patterns which give an overall appearance of gray. These whales do not have dorsal fins (like dolphins or orcas), but instead have a low round-like hump of flesh followed by a sequence of sharp bumps (or knuckles) extending to their flukes. The flukes are made entirely of cartilage and connective tissue (no bones) and are extremely flexible and strong. The grays begin passing California coasts about Thanksgiving but do not appear in great numbers until Christmas. They can be seen easily from shore since they follow the coast in shallower waters in search for the lagoons. The trick to whale-watching is knowing their breathing habits. They normally take three breaths in roughly half-minute intervals, followed by a three-to-five minute dive. Their flukes are normally thrown out of the water after their third breath to assist in the dive. The whales' "blow" is its breath, which is easily seen because it is ejected hurriedly under great pressure, t he cooling by the pressure-release causes the 10-12 foot high "mist" allowing whale watchers to spot them from boats or land. The southern migration tapers off in February. But the whales can be seen returning north from early March until the end of April. But they don't hug the shoreline as closely going north. Sometimes, though, some grays are seen migrating north just outside the surf-line. Seaforth Sportfishing in San Diego has three daily whale-watching trips on weekends, and two on weekdays. The cost is $12 per adult and $8 per child. Other charters can be taken from H&M Landing and Fisherman's Landing, also in San Diego, at roughly the same rates. For a more extravagant experience, the Royal Hornblower in San Diego follows the whales while offering both dinner and cocktails at a rate of up to $55 per person. But it is considered a 4-5 star restaurant. Also, Helgrens Sportfishing in Oceanside Harbor offers whale-watching excursions for $ 14 per adult and $ 10 per child. Group rates are available at all the above. And, with the exception of the Royal Hornblower, each cruise offers a free trip within the next year if a whale is not sighted. So, if you try this month, keep your eyes open and remember that these large, beautiful mammals once neared extinction. An international treaty was protecting them was signed in 1938, and it is still illegal to harm or harass them in any way. Take advantage of our coastal environment and be thankful you don't live in Kansas. �Grandpa becomes an actor B Y W ILLIAM V ADASY "I need s omeone w ho's been around the block to play the role of the Old Man in Sam Shepard's4 Fool for Love'. You've not only been around the block, but the city as well," said Professor Martinez, the drama teacher. The last time I was drafted was for World War II years ago; this time when I was drafted it would be less stressful, or so I thought! Theater Arts was a class I enrolled in to give me better projection in speaking and help to reduce my anxiety when facing an audience. Little did I dream I would get a part in a big production, especially because of my age! Professor Martinez must have seen something I was not aware of in me because the moment I started to read the lines I became one of those roustabouts who were very common in my era. Mr. Martinez "draped me in Shepard's Old Man's robe" and each rehearsal brought me closer to being him! When I was in my early teens, a long time ago, Saturday afternoon was a big day. We could go to the movies for a nickel. These matinees featured westerns where the hero captured the bad guys, saved the heroine and good triumphed over evil. The next day, Sunday, a group of us went on horseback to a vacant farm or wooded area and acted out what we had Performing Arts Center shines PASS WITH US added. Eskan said she eventually would like to use her talents to mentor children. "It's so important to encourage them," she added. Viusal and performing arts talents include more than acting, however. Before the lights went down for the beginning of "pool For Love," pianist Guido Tevini Jr. greeted playgoers with classical Beethoven and Mozart. Tevini, a junior at CSUSM, is planning to change his major from chemistry to music. He also tutors at the Math Center on campus. "I love helping students with their math. It's especially r ewarding when the light goes on," he said. J ack Edward H uff, a T heatre Arts major and senior at C SUSM, uses his talents on stage as well as off. In addition to his role in "Fool for Love," Huff also served as the play's technical director. An experienced performing artist, Huff directed two plays at U.S. Internationa] University at Scripps Ranch. "I would eventually like to get a Ph.D. in the performing arts and teach acting to college students," he said. Other students in the Theatre Arts program assist with lighting, ticketing, costuming and set direction. Dr. Marcos Martinez, head of the department, said students who have always wanted to try acting or are just interested in Visual Performing Arts do not need to major in theatre arts to participate in the program. "We encourage everyone who has always wanted to try theatre to join us," he added. §§• | fMststeiial lining Ktvkw kt SMSU Scti&ms 24 HOW RESERVATION (619) 583-PASS B Y D EBBIE H OLDERBY ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ n ^ e outside, it is an unas M suming gray building.

Ordinary building, ordinary play by ordinary college students, right? Wrong. What happens inside the annex when the lights go down is far from ordinary. The production of "Fool For Love" played to a full h ouse of 7 0 on Nov. 21st. In such an intimate setting, the s ounds, s ights and emotions of the play seemed bigger than life. " I a lways wanted to try acting," s aid B ill Vadasy, 80, one of the CSUSM students acting in the play. "I thought I would give it a try, and I really enjoyed it. First grandpa became a student, now grandpa becomes an actor." Peter Benelli, who played the lead male role in the play, said he is "not like the character (I played) at all. In fact, I 'm just the opposite. But to become someone else for an hour is just the most incredible high you can imagine." Benelli, a graduate of CSUSM, currently is applying to graduate schools to further his studies in the performing arts. Lisa Eskan, Theatre Arts major at CSUSM who also played in "Fool For Love" said she used to get in trouble for her voice because her teacher complained it was "too loud." Now that she uses her talents on stage, her strong clear voice is an asset, she seen the day before. (We drew straws to see who would be the hero!) "How much fun it would be to play a real hero, to have a real part," I thought. This was as far as my dreams had gone until they were awakened in my role as the Old Man.Each night as we took our bows, heard the applause of the audience, I found myself back on the farm playing the hero again, living the dream of my youth.

Or maybe a brand name at 20 to 30 percent less than offered at department stores? There's a good chance you'll find what you're looking for at the new Carlsbad Gompany Stores. *The mall is a mix of upscale designer and manufacturers' outlets, art J ^ r n — m galleries and restaurants and is located next to the Car Country Carlsbad just off Interstate 5. Designer shops not found at any other North County location include Donna Karan, Harry & David, Calvin Klein and Barney's New York. Polo Ralph Lauren is scheduled to open later this month. Its designer lines may be discounted 30 percent or more (but also be last season's designs.) This outdoor center features Mediterranean-style architecture with Tuscany flair and courtyards dotted with large palms now leading to a huge Christmas Tree. Shoppers can enjoy "a complete wine country experience" at John and Martha Culbertson's Bellefleur Winery and Restaurant, the first of its kind to open in a shopping center. Other restaurants include Panda Panda and Ruby's Diner scheduled to open next February. A unique art gallery, Spirits in Stone, exhibits Shona Stone Sculptures from Zimbabwe. It features stone art sculptures in various sizes from art that can be carried in the palm of your hand to two-ton pieces for the garden. Prices range from $30 to $33,000. Among the more familiar stores is Carter's Children's Wear, which offers 20 to 25 percent off its entire stock. It featurtes a large layette department and currently has a special on many items priced at $5 and $10. Baby Guess/Guess Kids, OshKosh B'Gosh and The Right Start are other children's stores offering similar discounts. The Gap location includes Baby and Kids Gap with prices 20 to 35 percent less than those found in full-price stores, according to Paul Catherwood, communications manager for Gab Outlets. He said many of the store's fashion lines are specially made for outlets. Some items could be made from fabric that was purchased in excess for a full-price design. The results are similar product at a greatly reduced price. "You can make one stop at this store and find something for everyone in the family," Catherwood said. If you're looking for a great buy in sport shoes, check out Van's, In addition to the low prices on regular stock, it carries seconds at terrific discounts. Reebok is now running the kind of sale that makes it hard to stop buying; the more you buy, the more you save. Buy one T-shirt at $12, the second is $8. Buy a third and the price is $5. Manager Kevin Fretheim said the store takes 25 percent off the top of all merchandise.

The music, appropriate for any age group, is an upbeat, toe-tapping mix of rhythm and blues and jazz, and it's not the stuff you'll hear on your normal, latest top-40 radio station. All but* four of the 38 songs are faced-paced. The show is about the hopes, struggles, dreams and failures of a three-woman singing group (perhaps modeled on Dianna Ross and the Supremes?) in the early 1970s. The show starts out with the three women beginning at the very bottom by entering a talent contest. Even though they do not win, a music producer noticed them. Eventually the group goes on the road and makes it big, only to find that fame and fortune are not what they're cracked up to be. The girls are betrayed by the people they work for, the press and even their own boyfriends and husbands. They learn that show business is just like any other business, in that a lot depends on who you know, what you look like, and who you're sleeping with rather than what you know or how talented you are. Eventually three break up, and they decide to move on with their lives: realizing they've had enough of show biz. But, they swear to remain friends. Because songs such as, "Only the Beginning," "Heavy," "It's All Over," and "Fake Your Way to the Top," are in the same sequence as the musical, you can follow the story the group story through the album. It can be found under the "Sound Track" section in most music stores. The compact disk sells for about $20 and the tape for about $15. Geffen Records and Tapes produced the album. Tom Eyen, who has two Emmy Awards for previous musicals as well as a Grammy award for Best Cast Album for "Dream Girls", wrote the lyrics. The composer, Henry Krieger who received a Grammy and a Tony Award for the music. Physical comedy makes for mindless f un B Y D EBBIE H OLDERBY ^ n r ^ J h e world is divided between those who love British humor, and those who don't. But both groups probably would agree that Bean is the utmost in British silliness. Rowan Atkinson, - JL. a British comedian well known for his physical antics, stars in this comedy of errors that was loved by the Brits. The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that the movie was rumored to have made more than $100 million in Europe, an unusually large figure for that market. Bean (Is it Mr. or Dr.? No, just Bean) is a childlike dope who tries to fit in, but rarely succeeds. He is a guard at the Royal National Gallery in England, and the board members of the Gallery would dearly love to getridof him. No wonder, the Gallery sends Bean to the United States for the unveiling of a priceless painting, "Whistler's Mother." As a representative of the UK, Bean is treated like an honored guest, but the royal treatment is clearly wasted on him. The American family he stays with is afraid their honored guest will look like "Meatloaf's butt" but soon discovers that Bean is more of an ass more in action than looks. Bean is a man of few words and his vocabulary is limited to grunts and one-word sentences. A high point of the film is when he is shoved to the front of the room and forced to give a speech at the unveiling of "Whistler's Mother." Need Extra $$$$ .r 3 The physical humor in the movie is hilarious, particularly one scene involving the stuffing of a turkey. But the film's portrayal of Bean's hosts a Los Angeles family, is rather flat and boring. The American family is pretentious and too concerned with appearances. But this does serve to endear the unassuming Bean to the audience. This is a movie for the adolescent young and the young at heart, and definitely not for the seriousminded. No thinking required.

The murder and the courtroom drama is like driving to Barstow, it takes too long to get there and when you do, there's nothing there. What c arries the f ilm f or Eastwood, however, is the unique o ddn^s of the characters. Veteran actor Spacey is perfectly cast as the creepy but ostentatious antique dealer with a passion for lavish displays of wealth and power. Cusack also gives a strong performance as the likable and witty author, despite the lack of a strong script. Minerva (Irma T. Hall), the voodoo priestess, has just the right mix of queerness and mystery for the part even though the script seems to fail her, too, with far-fetched rituals of the occult. Eastwood strays from tradition by using a handful of characters playing themselves, including Lady Chablis, a transvestite in full color. If you can stay awake long enough, be sure to Mesa catch her antics at the black debutante ball. The best performance, however, is not by Cusack, Spacey, Hall or Lady Chablis. It's by Spacey *s lawyer, Jack Thompson.Plot aside, it's the surrealistic quality of the characters that carries the film. As Kelso describes Savannah to a friend over the phone, "It's like "Gone With the Wind' on Mescaline." That "mescaline" quality that Kelso speaks of, however, refers to the more abstract characters in the movie, the dignified old man who walks "Patrick," an imaginary dog, the people who stop to pet Patrick and the strange but endearing recluse who carries a small vial in his pocket containing enough poison to kill the entire town. Even if you're able to stay awake long enough to be amused by the all the oddities of Savannah, you're apt to be disappointed by the ending of the movie. The reappearance of the victim has the effect of taking whatever credibility Eastwood may have earned and blowing it away like a puff of smoke.
