Microsoft confirms reorganization

said. The computer software giant has been orga-

Kernel." said Feigel. a second
year senator-at-large and chair
of the student organization as-
sistance committee.

Some of the issues raised
by the Feigel-Knipp campaign
included providing professor
profiles to students and advo-
cating social concerns like
AIDS testing and alcohol re-
lated problems. A “Get Tested"
campaign along with a desig~
nated driver program were
some of the ways they planned
to create awareness. said
Feigel.

On the question about how
many candidates were affiliat—
ed with Greek organizations,
Feigel responded by stating
that every presidential and
vice presidential candidates
was Greek.

Jimmy Glenn and Whit-
ney Speaker brought up five
key issues of their platform
that included reforming the se-
lection process for teaching as-
sistants, posting teacher evalu-
ations on the web and better
management of money allotted
to student organizations.

“We talked to a lot of dif-
ferent students and nobody
knows what the SGA does."

said Glenn.

“We are working with the
Student Activities Board to
raise awareness among the
student body." he said.

James Obenshain, a histo-
ry sophomore wanted more
awareness about gay and les-
bian issues in the SGA. “I have
heard no one besides the Glenn-
Speaker group address this im-
portant subject,“ he said.

The third team of
Cartwright Stephens and Joe
Schneggenburger did not want
to be weighed down by a fixed,
pre-planned agenda. Instead.
they wanted more active stu‘
dent input on the kind of prob-
lems to address.

“Students feel like they
don‘t have a voice. They are
tired of finding out something
the day before it goes into ef-
fect." said Stephens.

“We want to use senators
and organizational meetings to
find out student opinion." he
said.

Stephens was the only can-
didate opposed to the idea of a
“Tent Party" in the Common-
wealth Stadium parking lot to
allow students over 21 to con-
sume alcohol much like the oc-
cupants of the luxury booths.

Besides the three teams
running for president and vice
president there are 26 candi-
dates vying for the 15 senator
at large positions. The Spring
1999 elections are scheduled
for March 3lst and April lst.

The diversity
of wrestling

By Gary McCoIiuln
WRESTLING COLUMNISI

Reading through the Ker-
nel‘s spectacular Dialogue page,
it’s come to my attention that
we focus way too much on
Americans and their stories.

80 while I can‘t write about
Jerry Lewis every week to ap—
pease those French internation-
al students out there. I can
write about some of the best in-
ternational wrestlers of all
time.

Now I‘ll get to that list in a
minute. but I should warn all of
you wrestling fans now _, Bret
“The Hitman" Hart is not on
the list.

“The Hitman“ is and al-
ways has been overrated. and
personally I‘m sick of watching
his matches that are more pro
dictable than Bill Clinton’s be—
havior around a bunch of
Catholic school girls.

First on my list. possibly
the greatest international
wrestler of all time: Akeem the
African Dream.

Of course. most people re-
member him as The One Man
Gang, but that isn't important
right now. Akeem had some
amazing dance moves for a 400
pound. wrestler and that in it-
self makes him notable.

No list of international
wrestlers would be complete
without mentioning the phe-
nom from the Fiji Islands, “Su-
pertly" Jimmy Snuka. His ‘80s
leaps from the tops of steel

cages are legendary in the
world of wrestling.

It was also kind of funny
when “Rowdy” Roddy Piper
knocked him out with a co-
conut on Piper’s Pit.

Another outstanding inter-
national wrestler is Tiger Ali
Singh from India who is quick.
1y becoming the WWF‘s Million
Dollar Man for the ‘903.

His assistant Babu is an
added plus to his international
ranking, but that would mean a
lot more if Singh could actually
win a match every once in a
while.

Finally. I‘ve got to salute
those men who hail from the
hometown that has produced
more international wrestlers
than any other.

Parts Unknown seems to be
a popular site. producing the
likes of George “The Animal"
Steele, Haku. The Barbarian.
Kane, Psychosis. Papa Shango.
and The Ultimate Warrior to
name just a few.

Hopefully this column has
helped put several of our inter-
national readers at ease.

Now. I'm just doing my
part, and while my views are
not necessarily the opinions of
the Kernel or its employees. I
want everyone to know that
someone is a supporter of in—
ternational wrestlers every
where.

Gary McCoIluin is a marketing and
political science senior. lie can be

Although wrestlers like Frank Goldberg (above) continue to dominate the
market, wrestling has had its share of international flavor.

 

MUSIILMUSINGS

Static is bad, and
not in a good way

By Luke Saladin
SCENE EDITOR

You could add the new
band Static-X to the growing
number of bands to come out of
Chicago.

You could lump Static-X in
with such Windy City success
stories like Local H. Liz Phair
and the Smashing Pumpkins.

You could say that Static-X.
like these other acts, plays re-
deeming tunes and are a pure
joy to listen to.

And you would be wrong.

Static-X’s debut album Wis-
consin Death Trip is like an un-
apologetic kick in the groin
from a 90 pound. weakling w
he’s too small to do substantial
damage, but it still hurts be-
cause he kicked you in just the
right spot.

The album's name comes
from a 100-year-old book that
singer/guitarist Wayne Static
found at a flea market.

“(The book) is a collection
of turn~of—the-century pho-
tographs and news articles de-
tailing life in a small Wisconsin
town." said Static in a news re
lease.

“There were pictures of ba-
bies in coffins. reports from
mental hospitals. details of
murder scenes all very
haunting. It made a huge im-
pression on me."

With such a macabre histo-

 

ry. it's little wonder that the
band‘s lyrics are so morbid,
such as in the song “Bled for
Days:“ “I bled for days/get to
the rage/ hate/the healing of it
fucking with it/conceal the
scab you don't want to show."

The band's calls its sound
“rhythmic trancecore" ._- a
mixture techno, gothic. indus-
trial music marinated with ag-
gressive guitar playing.

I could include a song-by-
song analysis of the album. but
I am omitting it for two rea—
sons. First. all the songs sound
the same. so I could theoreti-
cally use the same description
for every song. Secondly, I am
trying to limit the number of
times I use the words “heavy,"
“industrial/gothic." “dark"
and “aggressive" in this re-
view.

If you were wondering
what type of crowd Static-X is
catering to. consider that one of
the album‘s songs. “Bled For
Days." is featured on the Bride
of Chucky soundtrack. The song
sounds like a call-and-response
spiritual between Lucifer and
Rob Zombie.

If for some reason this al-
bum finds its way into your lo-
cal CD store. steal it. smash it
into little pieces and make the
world a better place.
