A group of 25 students, faculty and administrators met with President Roger Webb Monday afternoon to address concerns over inadequate studio space for UCO's art department. The art students and faculty have been faced with cramped studios, lack of equipment and lost class time since painting, printing and sculpting classes were moved out of the General Classroom Building this summer. The 49-year-old building had a long history of expensive maintenance problems that led university officials to decide to tear it down. It is currently being prepared for demolition. The students had originally organized a campus protest to call attention to their problems. Donna Sandiger, organizer of the protest which was scheduled for Aug. 26, said the group agreed to meet with Webb and other administrators before pursuing the demonstration. "We felt like we had to protest because politics have gotten in the way of making decisions based on students' needs," she said. "But we decided to wait and give administration an opportunity to respond." Sandiger said the art department has been in turmoil since April when they were told they would have to vacate their studio space in the General Classroom Building. The decision to tear down the building left 11 art classes in need of new classrooms. Five painting classes and an airbrush class were moved into unfinished sciencelab space in the basement of Howell Hall
this summer. Two sculpture classes were moved into the Art Building, as were three printmaking classes. While Dr. Robert Palmer, chair of the art department, said painting classes are fine in Howell Hall, he said printmaking is "at a standstill" since being moved. Palmer said if he had to rank a priority of classes that needed new space, he would rate the print shop the most important. "It is now in the largest room in the Art Building, and that's still not adequate," he said. Michael Bachi, who teaches the lithography class of printmaking, told Webb the location his class was moved to is impossible to work in. "I've got to run my class, but I can't do it," he said. "I'm stymied." Bachi said the space is not equipped with the special sink and venthood needed for class projects and there is no room for it to be installed. -Without the equipment, he said he can't teach class. "My students are suffering," he said. One student attending the meeting said he came to UCO from Pakistan specifically to learn lithography. "I'm missing a big opportunity," he said. "My friends tell me to change universities." Sandiger said a loss of enrollment is something the university should be concerned about. "I know students who have dropped out of class because of these problems," she said. Randall Wallace, a sculpture instructor, said he fears the negative effects of the • See ART BUILDING, Page 5

O
n Monday minimum wage will increase from $4.75 an hour to $5.15. As a result, businesses are going to be forced to cut into their profits no matter how small and pay their employees more money. Unless, of course, they can't afford to do that. Then they may choose to lay off some people and make the remaining employees work harder for that extra 40 cents an hour. Some businesses will likely be closing up shop rather than trying to find the resources to meet the government-mandated wage increase. When the business owners become unemployed so do all the minimum wage people they employed. This will cause greater competition for minimum wage jobs and an increase in the unemployment rate. There was a time when employees negotiated with employers for their wages, then worked for what they agreed to. Uncle Sam wasn't involved. Sure, there were sweatshops and dangerous environments. But there have always been other opportunities, another place to go, a chance to improve. Now unskilled laborers can get raises without improving their station because the federal government will mandate they get a pay increase every few years. Proponents of the minimum wage argue it is necessary to keep up with the cost of living. But why is the cost of living so high? Because skilled labor costs employers more than unskilled labor. Every time the government requires employers to pay unskilled workers more money, the skilled workers expect an increase just to stay ahead of the unskilled laborers. Government should not be able to mandate that a business pay employees more than the job is worth or more than the employer can afford. Pay raises should be based on merit and the employers' ability to pay. No one should have the right to tell A someone else how to spend their money.

KCSC's project funding in jeopardy as deadlines near By Colby Grieser Staff Writer
U
CO's classical radio station, KCSC 90.1, is in the middle of two battles slowing their progress on projects that could benefit the university. The biggest problem is that these projects are funded by federal grants from the Department of Commerce, and they have deadlines to meet for completion, said Chief Engineer Larry Iverson. If the projects aren't completed by the deadline, they have to forfeit some of the money. They are granted two six-month extensions for each of the projects and the first six-month extension for the tower is about to expire. They're almost halfway through first extension for the sister radio station, said Iverson. The first project, which they've been working on for nearly two years, involves building a taller radio tower to increase KCSC's broadcast area, said Iverson. The property they purchased for the tower is located in north Oklahoma City in a place commonly known as the "antennae farm" that borders a private citizen's property, he said.

station channel 6. Their audio can potentially be interfered with by an FM station that operates between 88 and 92 megahertz, which is set aside for educational use, and is used by KCSC. Now KCSC has to prove that there won't be any interference, or get a waiver from the TV station saying they can operate, but so far this hasn't been possible because they are no longer allowing waivers, said Iverson. "Without that letter, we can't get our FCC permit ... our chance of interfering with their signal in McAlester is literally nonexistent," said Iverson. "We're working on all fronts to rectify the difficulties we're having, but it seems sometimes that we take a step forward and we go- two backwards shortly thereafter," said Iverson. He said President Webb is aware of the difficulties they're having and has offered his assistance with contacts and ideas. Iverson said trying to contact the person responsible for writing the waivers and visiting them personally, so they can listen to the university's side of the issue has been one suggestion. "We're positive that some changes are going to happen very soon and his help is greatly appreciated," said Iverson.

space problems will taint UCO's art program. "We've got the premiere art program in the state," he said. "We'd hate to lose that position." Webb told the group he was hopeful of finding an "orderly process to resolve the situation." He said the space problem was obvious to him last spring when he started visiting
the campus and learning about the situation. He agreed with the students and faculty that it was frustrating that the moves weren't planned out in a better way. Of the locations administrators have been considering for the printmaking and sculpture studios, Webb said Wantland Hall has "possibilities."

Cornelius Wooten, vice president of administration, said Wantland Hall would be the most practical solution but it will take time and preparation to make it ready. In the meantime, workers are preparing space in Howell Hall to temporarily house printmaking classes. Palmer said officials told him Wednesday that the studio space should
be ready and classes moved in by Sept. 8. He said the move is only a temporary solution and officials have told him they hope to find space to remodel for the printmaking studio and sculpture studio in Wantland Hall. Palmer said he is hopeful that permanent space will be found and prepared for classes before the start of next semester.

or: UCO music professor schedules concert and cuts new CDs By Colby Grieser Staff Writer
F
rom classical compositions to electro-acoustical music, Dr. Sam Magrill, associate professor of music displays his musical talents through concerts, original compositions and the release of his new CDs. Magrill's latest project is a concert featuring his original compositions called "Magrill to the Max," and will be held at 8 p.m., Sept. 3 in Mitchell Hall Theatre. Magrill has also just released two CDs containing original electroacoustical compositions that were created using an electronic method such as a synthesizer or computer. "All this music was created in an electronic music studio," said Magrill. Magrill said a trip to Russia made him think about organizing his work. In 1995 he visited the Theremin Center, a computer music studio at the Moscow Conservatory, and composers there wanted to hear his work, which was stored on various tapes. At the Theremin Center he noticed that most of the composers had their work on CDs, which made it more accessible. "They (CDs) were almost like
RESUMES
business cards for composers,” said Magrill. That's when Magrill decided to store his work on CD to organize and preserve it. When he got back from Russia, he began to work on his CD project with Steve McLinn, who helped restore it to its original sound, said Magrill. Partial funding for the project came from UCO, he said. "I received two Merit Credit Awards—that and research money was good seed money for putting together two CDs," said Magrill. Magrill said the proceeds from the CDs go back to the university to help the Music Department and to help support faculty research. Magrill's CDs contain two volumes: The Early Years (19731988) and The Oklahoma Years (1989-1996). Magrill said most of the compositions were written for the Southern California Resource for Electro-Acoustical Music Festival (SCREAM), which he founded. SCREAM is an annual event in southern California involving six colleges that celebrates electroacoustic music. He still writes compositions for the annual festival. "Most of the music was based on this idea of the SCREAM festival
and writing something every year," said Magrill. "It accumulated, and I discovered I had enough material to fill two CDs." The concert will include selections from his CDs along with other songs: a solo violin composition written for assistant professor of music Hong Zhu, and a trio of flute, clarinet and piano which he wrote for his daughter called "Swans in the Blue." "It's a wide variety of music and it's also music people haven't heard before, and I think it's interesting and exciting to hear things you haven't heard before," said Magrill. "It should wake up people's adventurous spirit—it encourages people to think in alternative ways," he said. Magrill has been doing concerts for UCO since 1991. Magrill came to UCO in 1988 from the University of Southern California at Long Beach to teach music and run the theory composition program. He was also asked to help build a computer music studio which he has used to compose much of his music. Magrill said he isn't finished composing for the school year. He's in the process of writing an opera to be performed in February called The Gorgon's Head.

Personal finance courses help students prepare for secure future UCO's personal finance courses teach students how to manage, plan and invest money for the future. "It is a class that people benefit from tremendously, no matter how old they are," said Randal Ice, assistant professor of finance. He said he has students that range from age 16 to senior citizens. "The advice you get from other people may not be the best," Ice said. The best protection for a secured financial future is knowledge, he said. Ice said the average person leaves the class knowing more about their personal finances. There are two courses for the fall and spring semesters and one for the summer. The purpose of the personal finance classes is to get people to think about their own finances, he said. Financial planning "is the kind of thing that everyone wished they knew before a financial situation happens." The course also includes career strategies, budgeting and taxes. He said he teaches students about buying a house, car and insurance. The course covers how to handle the unexpected situations of life., he said. "It (estate planning) is a huge responsibility," Ice said. "We often don't think about it when we are young." Although the course is part of the business college, many of the students are not business majors. "I have every major— music, theater, biology, funeral science and graphic design," Ice said. "Every major is in there (the classes)," he said. "It's just amazing." He said there are no prerequisites for the 2000 level class. —By Telannia Hytche Staff Writer

Director of Baptist Collegiate Ministry officiates professional and collegiate tennis tournaments By Darrell J. Weidner Sports Writer
T
he steady eyes of an experienced judge follows the little yellow ball as it volleys back and fourth between the two young players dressed in white. One of the players hits the ball outside the line in the back court, but he argues the call of the other player. They both turn to the owner of steady eyes. "What's the call Ump?" they both ask. Umpire Charles Lillard, 52, of Edmond, who is also the director of the Baptist Collegiate Ministry, formally the Baptist Student Union, at the University of Central Oklahoma, has officiated at many national professional and collegiate tennis tournaments, including the U. S. Open in New York City, since 1988. "I got started in tennis when my wife Suzanne gave me some lessons at Kickingbird for a Father's Day gift, so I could play with the members of our Sunday School class," said Lillard. Lillard then took a class in beginning tennis, at what was then Central State University, taught by Francis Baxter. It was during this class that Baxter asked him if he would be interested in becoming an official. Lillard's career as an umpire started in the Junior Division of ten and under in 1988. "I started out as a rover, sort of a trouble-shooter, going from court to court at the junior tourneys, settling arguments between the players," he said. "That is all I did for the first year." He was then placed in the U-STAR program, which is
a United States Tennis Association (USTA) program that takes young officials and gives them experience at national tournaments. The USTA sent him to the National 12 and under Championships, in Detroit, where he was monitored by an older umpire, who taught him how to watch and make the right calls. Lillard also referees on the professional tour. He has umpired at both the '92 and '96 U. S. Opens. "The most interesting thing that I can remember happening to me as an umpire occurred at the '92 Open. I was umpiring a doubles match that John McEnroe was in. I made a call he didn't like and he started to stare at me like he was about to say something, but he didn't," said the 1992 Umpire of the Year for the Oklahoma District Tennis Association. His most recent experience was as Head Umpire at the IGA Classic in Oklahoma City. "As Head Umpire I am responsible for the Umpires and the Line Judges. It is my responsibility to make sure everybody gets to where they are supposed to be, and that no player has to face the same officials two games in a row, so far, I haven't had a major problem yet," he said running his hand through his graying hair. "My career as an umpire doesn't lay in professional tennis, it lays on the collegiate level," he said. Lillard has officiated at several major college tournaments, including the NCAA Division II Championships and the NAIA Championships. The biggest tournament in his career so far has been the Inaugural Big 12 Tournament in,1996, he said. "A tornado hit Fayetteville, Arkansas the year I

umpired the South East Conference Women's Championship. It wiped out most of the courts, so we had to hold the tournament indoors. We could only play four games at a Charles Lillard time, so we were up late every night," he said. "Tennis has also helped me in my job at the BCM, when a couple of the students get into an argument, I use what I've learned on the court. I simply have them tell me what happened, and then I start to sort out the story and reconstruct the situation," said Lillard. "It usually works on both the court and in the office during counseling," he said seriously. He looks at the two young men and asked them to tell him both sides of what just happened. He listens intently as the player that just hit the ball tells him that it looked to be in, but he admits that the guy on the other side of the net has a better view of the event. "That is what I like about college tennis; it teaches the kids to trust each other," said Lillard. "Isn't that what the call should be about, to teach them how to judge things for themselves."

The Central Oklahoma Broncho volleyball team will be captained by returning senior Kate O'Neill, said UCO Volleyball coach Mark Herrin. "As captain, I'm expecting Kate to be a good leader for
the younger players on the team," said Herrin. O'Neill will return as Kate has a chance of a middle blacker for the being one of the most third season straight said decorated players in the Herrin. history of our program. O'Neill scored 127 —Mark Herrin points last year, with six volleyball coach of the points coming from ace serves. O'Neill has scored a total of 393 points in her career

at Central Oklahoma. Defensively, O'Neill earned 52 solo blocks with 315 assists last year. O'Neill was named the pre-season 1997 Player of the Year in the LSC's North Division. The political science and public relations major has been on the Dean's and Athletic Director's honor rolls since her first semester at UCO. "Kate has a chance of being one of the most decorated players in the history of our program," said Herrin, "and I am going to challenge her to do so." .0!),
Central Oklahoma football team ranked in top 20 By Chad Willming
Sports Editor Pre-season accolades continue to roll in for the Central Oklahoma football team. The Bronchos have been ranked No. 12 in the country in the latest NCAA Division II football poll released for the 1997 season. "We have quite a few players back from last year and we're looking for another good season," said Head
Coach Gary Howard. UCO has 14 starters and 32 letterman returning back from last year's 9-3 team that was beaten in the quarterfinals by California-Davis in their first-ever NCAA Div. II playoff experience. The Bronchos also have been selected as the favorite to win the Lone Star Conference North Division. Texas A&M-Kingsville, the South Division favorite, who was ranked 3rd in the NCAA Diision II poll will host UCO Sept.13.
Three Central Oklahoma football players also have received pre-season honors. Senior linebacker Johnny Luter, Senior center Dustin McNeal, and Senior tight end Derek Elmore have received pre-season All-American recognition by various publications.

Applications being taken for scholar-leadership seminars Qualified UCO students who wish to attend a seminar sponsored by Oklahoma Scholar-Leadership Enrichment Program (OSLEP) should apply quickly because space is limited. OSLEP, a State Regents sponsored program, offers college students from around the state the opportunity to study for five days with a world renowned scholar. Each seminar covers a different topic and is held at a different Oklahoma university. There is no deadline but accepted students are notified at least eight weeks before the scheduled seminar. "Everyone that I have talked to
that has been to these seminars said that it was a tremendous experience," said Dr. Donald Fleming, chairman of the finance department and campus coordinator of OSLEP. "All students have been unanimous in their enthusiasm," he said. Information about the seminar and applications are available in Fleming's office, Room 200 of the Business Building. Students must have a 3.0 GPA and be a junior, senior or graduate student in order to apply. Freshmen and sophomore students with outstanding academic achievement may be considered. Each seminar is limited to 25 students, representing different

universities. -- - Fleming said students receive two 4000 level credit hours, but it does not replace required courses. The grade is pass or fail and it does not affect your grade point average, he said. The four-day seminar costs $150 and includes food, lodging, books and tuition. Students must provide their own transportation. "The only disadvantage is that you have to be there from Wednesday to Sunday," Fleming said. "You are not allowed to drive back and forth." He said students will have to be excused from school and work. ,Homework and preparation is required, but there are no tests, Fleming said.
Math requirements upped for education majors By Telannia Hytche Staff Writer As a result of the Oklahoma Legislature passing House Bill 1549 last spring, education majors are now required to have 12 credit hours of math instead of three credit hours. Students accepted into the College of Education are required to take the courses beginning this fall. UCO professors designed new math courses last summer that tailor what math education majors will teach and how they will teach the course in the classroom. Thomas Campbell, instructor of math and statistics, Dr. Ida Wall, associate professor of curriculum and instruction and Dr. Lorraine Jimison, assistant professor of curriculum, designed the math courses with an emphasis on how to teach math.

"We can't expect them to go through calculus," Campbell said. "We want them to be comfortable with the curriculum." The four math courses are: 'Structures of Mathematics 'Foundations of Geometry and Measurement 'Analysis of Data and Chance 'Patterns of Functions According to the law, the program must follow the recommendations set by professional organizations. Campbell said they used the 1989 standards set by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) as a guideline for the courses. The Mathematics Association of America and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics support the courses, he said.

Residence hall councils to publish newsletters By Ryan Dannar Staff Writer
U
CO residence hall councils are making plans to publish newsletters for each of the three UCO dorms throughout the semester. Andrew Naylor, area coordinator at East Hall, Stacy Childers, president of the West Hall Residence Council, and Angela MacKewin, president of the Murdaugh Hall Residence Council will discuss publication of newsletters for their halls at upcoming residence hall council meetings. MacKewin said she thinks a regularly published newsletter for Murdaugh Hall would give Murdaugh residents a sense of family and keep them better informed.
"(A newsletter) is my best form of communication," she said. "It lets you reach a large number of people with one form of media." According to Resident Housing Director Carroll Van Duyn, dorm newsletters would help to "create community." "(The newsletters) would highlight information on upcoming events, serve as a communications tool, and include room for personal announcements," Van Duyn said. "It's just all the traditional aspects of a hometown newspaper." Newsletters have been published by the residence hall councils of West and Murdaugh Halls in the past without creative or financial support from university staff, said Childers and
MacKewin. This year, although the newsletters will still be produced by the residence hall councils, staff members of Auxiliary Enterprises have offered helping hands. Director of Auxiliary Enterprises A. K. Rahman, said he has asked two of his staff members who have experience with newsletter production to help the councils when necessary. Rahman also said he would personally "be a resource to help in any way I can." Van Duyn said there are still many decisions to be made before the residence hall councils can begin work on the newsletters. Each of the councils has to decide how they will fund the printing costs of their newsletters, she said. "Last year we recycled cans to help
with the cost," said MacKewin, who worked on the Murdaugh newsletter last year. MacKewin said the cost of printing the newsletter was not expensive, since it was usually only one page long. "We would either photocopy it ourselves, or take it over to the copy center in the Student Union. They only charged us about three cents a copy," MacKewin said. When copies of the newsletters are distributed this semester, dorm residents will probably find them under their doors, said MacKewin. "We can't post things on our resident's doors," MacKewin said, "and we're not allowed to slip anything into the mail system without addressing it to each person."

UPS strikers deserved 'pink slips'
T
he UPS strike has ended, but not in the way it should have. According to the old rule of "Work or get fired," UPS should have issued pink slips to all their employees who weren't working. What's the deal with unionized employees? Why should the employees run a company they didn't start, they don't own, and have no investment in, other than day-today employment? What would happen if we let the students run the schools? Or the inmates run the prisons? What does a Teamster driver ,working for UPS really know about the financial status of UPS? Does the driver really know what the company can
afford to pay every driver? I doubt it. They're using the old "I'm near the bottom of the ladder and they're at the top—they need to give me more," attitude. I have been a member of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union. Once I had a complaint against the Safeway store where I worked. I found out that, not only was the company cheating me, but I had been paying the union to do the same. Then, there was the time when Safeway wanted to cut the wages of the checkout clerks who were making over $10.50 an hour. The clerks wouldn't take a pay cut, so Safeway was forced to cut them back to parttime status, and then...

Head residents given new titles, responsibilities By Ryan Dannar
Staff Writer Students returning to the UCO dorms this fall may be surprised to find that the names and duties of two staff positions have changed. According to Carroll. Van Duyn, director of resident housing, the head resident in each of the three dorms has been replaced by an "area coordinator." Each area coordinator is assigned to, and will reside in, one of the three dorms. The coordinators are responsible for supervising and maintaining the buildings to which they are assigned, Van Duyn said. Area coordinators receive 12month appointments instead of
the 10-month appointments head residents received. Area coordinators are fulltime staff members and are not allowed to attend classes, said Van Duyn. "The fact that the area coordinator is now totally responsible for his or her building takes some of the direct supervision responsibility off of my shoulders," said Van Duyn. A "graduate resident assistant" will also be assigned to each dorm, said Van Duyn. They will supervise the resident assistants, and will report directly to the area coordinator in their building. They are appointed for 10 months, are full-time staff members, and are allowed to attend classes, Van Duyn said.
The decision to change these staff positions was made by Van Duyn, the housing office, Director of Auxiliary Enterprises A. K. Rahman, and Vice President of Administration Dr. Cornelius Wooten, Van Duyn
said. Van Duyn said that the titles of the two positions were changed in order to reflect the added responsibilities. "We also wanted to bring the titles [of those positions] parallel
to the names of the positions at other colleges, and come current with the profession," Van Duyn said. The changes in these positions were effective Aug.1, said Van Duyn.

Subrosa crafts powerful, energetic sound By Ryan Dannar Staff Writer
A
few modern rock fans may recall a song entitled "The Mighty K. C.," which hit MTV and the radio in the winter of 1995. That song was the single radio hit of a Florida band named For Squirrels. It was a power ballad lamenting the death of Nirvana's singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain. The song was appropriately dark and murky, with a haunting melody and lyrics that managed to be both clumsy and touching. What kept the song from falling into the depths of pure gloom was its uplifting chorus, which stated hopefully, "and by the grace of God go I / into the great unknown / things are gonna change in our favor." Ironically, the song was released after the death of For Squirrels' own lead singer, Jack Vigliatura, and their bassist, Bill White, in an automobile accident while the band was on tour. After recovering from the accident, guitarist Travis Tooke and drummer Jack Griego decided to continue on with the band. Tooke began singing in addition to playing guitar, Griego kept drumming, and a new bassist, Andy Lord, was hired. For their latest CD, Never Bet the Devil Your Head, Tooke, Greigo, and
Lord have changed their band's name to Subrosa. A joint, statement from the band members on their official homepage (www.subrosaweb. corn), said, "We changed the name out of respect for our deceased friends and the music we created together, which is very sacred to us. Subrosa is a different band, performing and writing songs differently from the four of us who were called For Squirrels." Fortunately, many of the elements which gave For Squirrels their charm have been retained by the band's new incarnation. Odd time signatures, driving pop melodies, and heartfelt but occasionally clumsy lyrics were all trademarks of For Squirrels' style. SubroSa has these elements in abundance, but tempers them with a dark, cynical edge. As where For Squirrels could have loosely been described as a folk-rock band, Subrosa falls more in the vicinity of grunge.
Never Bet the Devil Your Head includes all the grunge staples— overdriven guitars, heavy rhythms, and angst-filled lyrics—but manages to surpass the limits of the genre due to some inventive songwriting and a playful sense of rhythm. In the song "Madness is Genius by Design," Griego sets a driving 3/4 beat, over which Tooke plays a lengthy descending guitar riff. Lord's bass playing is subtle and ominous. The song's tension has a moment of release in the chorus, when Tooke lashes out violently on the words "time" and "design" in the lines, "Tell me all your secrets, darling / They'll come back in time / Tell me I'm deranged, my warning's madness by design." Touches like this abound on the CD, breathing life into what could otherwise be just another grunge knockoff. Other songs on the CD, bearing titles such as "Damn the Youth," "Lullaby to the Enemy," and "!pleH" ("help" spelled backwards), reflect Tooke's
disillusionment following the death of his friends, but also show a hopeful side to his personality. In "Damn the Youth," Tooke curses the apathy of his generation, but expresses optimism in youth's potential, singing "We all shine above it." Never Bet the Devil Your Head is a solid effort. The only disappointment this reviewer found was the song, "Antigen Fiend," which sounds too much like bad Silverchair. With this new CD, Subrosa proved that the death Vigliatura and White of For Squirrels did not damage the remaining members' ability to craft powerful, energetic rock songs. #,

news and reviews alling all screen addicts— Harry Knowles, the not-sohumble mastermind behind the Aint It Cool Web site, posts just what you're craving; movie news only the insiders (or spies) are usually privy to. The site Newsweek called "one of the hottest on the Net" hails from Knowles' office/movie-memorabilia crammed junk room in Austin, Texas. But, based on repent publicity, the 25 year-old movie has apparently caught the attention- of a lot of surfers and studio execs alike. The site's counter showed over 190thousand hits so far, atid Knowles admits it's catching on. "The site is expanding. See, ain't it Huler?" writes Knowles.

Mixing rumor, opinion, hints, and plain old chit-chat, the site offers a strange yet entertaining view into what's coming up at the box office and into the head of Knowles himself. His reviews, although filled with detail, (he obviously does his homework on principal players in the movie industry), are still far from academic. For instance, his review of the movie Mimic was favorable, if not stellar, supported by comments like, "the monsters are waaaaaaaaay cool." He goes on to describe the genre of the movie as "Science-Fiction-Horror Isotated-Relatively-Unarmed-Normal People-VS-Cool-Monsters." Also on the site is a reader's forum, a business page where collectibles will be
