University assesses Monday night's storm damage By Madhumathi Krishnamurthy sta

haos spread across UCO campus Tuesday morning after the swirling winds of a thunderstorm created havoc to trees and electric poles in its path. The storm began around 6:30 p.m., Monday night and lasted through the early hours of Tuesday morning. High winds downed power lines cutting off electricity to most of the buildings on and around campus. Power was lost in buildings from south of Ayers to Second Street including Hamilton Fieldhouse and all parking lots. However, a few buildings were backed up by generators. Some of the buildings affected were the Broncho Apartments, family graduate apartments, all three resident halls, Howell Hall, Mitchell Theater, University Center, Central Cafeteria, Central Plant, Liberal Arts Building, and the Library. Downed power lines also caused failure in air conditioning systems in most of the buildings on campus. As of Tuesday afternoon, eight buildings were still without air-conditioning. Everything is expected to be restored and back on line by today, said Kevin Williams, mechanical engineer of UCO facilities management. "The storm caused a tremendous amount of electrical damage," Williams said. Facilities management is still investigating to find more damage. Due to loss of computer communications between buildings, they are manually

surveying all buildings, Williams said. "Some of us have been up most of the night. It's been the absolute worst day on record, and one of the worst in the history of UCO," Williams said. Similarly, the Edmond Fire department responded to approximately 40 emergency calls from UCO and across town. Lightning associated fires and burned electrical transformers caused damage, however there were no reported injuries to civilians. "When a thunderstorm of this magnitude moves through, the fire department is usually the one people call," said fire Marshall David Wiist. "Our department was constantly running from one incident to another, and all four stations were out at one time." The storm winds were so strong they tore out an anchored high voltage electrical splice can, that was bolted to a

ave you been to the food court lately? Chances are, you didn't have to wait in line very long—not nearly as long as you did last spring, before privatization. And, if you're like many patrons, you didn't enjoy the food you purchased. If you remember the cafeteria that once provided a welcome relief from fast food in the University Center, enjoy the memory because it isn't likely our food court will see such competition again. The selection of cuisine has diminished since most of the name restaurants left, and, judging by the comments of many students around the food court area, the quality has left, too. . If you enjoy that one chain restaurant that is still with us, you better get there early—before they use their daily ration of chicken. Our new, privatized bookstore isn't much better. The staff seems to have forgotten that the ringing sound they keep hearing is a telephone, and they should answer it. The selection is better, if you're interested in best selling novels and not school supplies. What have we gained by privatizing these two facilities? Students who once relied on being able to get a variety of food on campus are disgruntled. Students, staff and faculty who once used the University Bookstore to supply their needs now have to go off campus. The walk off campus, and the lack of good food may at least help us all control our waistline. <

In defense of Steven Wedel

O

n September 15, The Vista published a letter from one Mr. Bradford, critical of an editorial written by Mr. Wedel. I would like to answer some of his statements in said letter. When Columbus arrived there were indeed great empires in existence in the Americas, but it was hardly a "a pearl." Human sacrifice was widespread, and the American Indians had not yet invented the wheel. Without ignoring obvious injustices which took place, I am puzzled by the reaction of Mr. Bradford and others who seem to suggest that things would have been much better if whites had never come. Would the politically correct have a forum for complaint otherwise? The present Europeans would likely not be very happy if, to correct the injustice, we all boarded planes to move to Europe. America is the greatest country in the world, not

because of diversity or wealth, but because of freedom. For centuries when people of all lands want a new beginning they have come here. We have paid dearly in bloo.d and treasure for our failures, and although America is not perfect, it is much better than it was in the beginning. The average American may consume more energy than other people around the world, but in return we have produced many technologies and medicines which have improved the quality of life and increased life expectancy. I submit that we have gotten our money's worth. Mr. Wedel, your column may infuriate the masses, but they make sense to those of us willing to read them with an open mind. In the words of certain radio talk show (host), mega-dittos.

UN silence supports ethnic cleansing

V

ery few eyes will be watching the events in Kosovo this winter, not because it is not on the top of the list for the Clintons to be, but because we don't want to push our conscience too far. While the Capital Hill recoils from the razzmatazz of a sizzling soap, the Serb forces rewrite their history, burning village after village in Kosovo. The west through their silence which also preceded intervention in Bosnia, seem to be approving again an ethnic cleansing displacing 300,000 people. NATO could not decide, whose side it should be on this time, so they are trying 'to avert a humanitarian disaster' by staying put.

Human rights groups have documented pictures of mass graves of civilians including women and children since February 1998, much like what happened in Sebrenica in Bosnia while under UN protection. The international community's failure to punish Milosevic for crimes in Croatia and Bosnia sends the message that he would be allowed to get away with such crimes again. The question remains what is the legitimate period for a nation to suffer genocide before one can ask the right to self-rule?

Due to multiple power surges, campus computer labs were having problems and students have complained of not being able to gain access to the Broncho server from outside telephone lines. UCO Department of Public Safety also complained of computer problems due to the electrical storm. However, there were no criminal incidents reported, said Capt.

Chris Wooldridge. "The biggest worry we have with the loss of electricity is incidents of burglary and theft," said Farrell Rosson, assistant director of facilities management. Electricity was restored in stages, and all buildings had power by 10 a.m., Tuesday. Some classes were canceled prior to 10 a.m. in Howell Hall.

instructors. Many trees were blown down because of the gusty winds. Tree limbs were scattered around the areas of Mitchell Hall and the Baptist Student Union. "The basic problem will be the clean up of the trees. It will take several days to get rid of all the downed trees and torn tree limbs," Rosson said. The wind hurt not just the trees, but lifted a 10x30 feet first-base dug out on

the girls softball field, and threw it some yards away. Some portable toilets were also blown over, in the parking lot east of Wantland Stadium, Rosson said. In addition, some sewer lines were backed up due to heavy rains, and roof leaks were reported from various buildings. "We're trying to address these problems and are currently doing the cleanup," Rosson said.

New Greeks looking to locate at UCO By Kate O'Neill StaffWriter

F

our national fraternities are vying for a chance to join UCO's Greek system. Lynn Means, director of Student Activities said, Beta Theta Pi, Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Nu and Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternities have all presented information regarding their history, alumni support and pledging system to the members of the Interfraternity Council (IFC). IFC consists of three representatives from each of UCO's current national fraternities; ACACIA, Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Sigma, Sigma Tau Gamma and Tau Kappa Epsilon. UCO's current fraternities will have three votes each to cast. The new fraternity that receives a majority of the 15 votes will be invited to UCO. Voting will be at 2 p.m. Monday, Sept. 28, in Room 418 of the University

Center. "Adding a *fraternity is in-line with President Webb's vision of adding more campus life...and making UCO, more appealing to traditional students," Means said. There are no guidelines the fraternities must meet to be eligible, but IFC is looking for organizations that will compliment UCO's current Greek culture, Means said.

"We're seeing who would have the best chance at being successful here and who would fit in." "IFC is committed to helping the new colony be as successful as they can," she said. An extension committee was also created to provide the same opportunity for a new sorority on campus. Means said the three current national sororities at UCO, Alpha Gamma Delta,

Delta Zeta and Sigma Kappa, are all over the chapter limit of 60 members. "Adding a sorority and fraternity is only going to make the Greek system stronger...add to healthy competition, and raise the bar for the current fraternities and sororities," Means said. The new fraternity and sorority are scheduled to participate in spring rush, a recruitment effort by the Greek system to attract new members.

ired of hearing President Bill Clinton tell the straight or not-so-straight truth about the Monica Lewinsky affair? Listen to him backwards. Conspiracy theorists believe the best way to understand the facts in the latest White House scandal is to tape the president's words and play them in reverse. In the sometimes jumble of rambling sounds is the truth, they claim "Our politicians say one thing forwards and another thing in reverse," said David Oates, founder of the Reverse Speech Alliance. He provided a sampling of his backwards

speech research to ABCNEWS last week. Oates' subjects included Clinton, Bob Dole and Newt Gingrich, who he claimed had made shocking backwards statements. Earlier this year Clinton was questioned about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky. He told reporters, "There has not been a single shred of evidence of anything dishonest I've ever done in my public life." But when his words were reversed, Oates claims the president said, "Denied the habits and I said, 'Damn, Yeah!' Despite his beliefs, Oates' findings have not been supported by the scientific community. He said he's been virtually ignored. But Oates claims the subconscious is constantly working in reverse, sending out a message at least every 15 seconds. "Reverse speech is like a mirror to the soul," he told ABCNEWS. "All I ask is that people consider my work before they reject it." Sound too flaky to be true? Couldn't be any stranger than what the president's been saying. <

Rather, make your breakfast while driving to school, using the heat of your car's engine. According to Bill Scheller, co-author of the car cookbook "Manifold Destiny," automobile engine compartments make great ovens and can cook scrumptious meals, including baked chicken and steak, in minutes "This is no secret to truck drivers," Sheller wrote. "A car engine provides for a 600-degree oven. You regulate the heat by simply positioning the food closer to the hottest parts of the engine." Running late for holiday dinner at Aunt Rozie's? Triple wrap a turkey and place it near the exhaust manifold. It will be done by the time you get there. But be careful to secure your food tightly. A nasty bump could be hazardous to more than your appetite. "From time to time, I've dropped a chicken on the road," he Sheller wrote. "You just have to write it off as tenderized, preseasoned road kill."

CO's department of art and design has introduced a cutting edge digital printmaking class, which is the first of its kind in Oklahoma. Printmaking is a term that refers to the different types of techniques used for making multiple prints of art. Lithography, etching, and silk screening are the traditional techniques taught at UCO.

The concept of digital printmaking uses minimum resources to achieve the same purpose of traditional printmaking techniques. All that is required is a computer, scanner, ink-jet printer, and Adobe Photoshop, which is the software used in the digital printmaking class. The class was offered to students for the

PRINT Continued from Page 8 fall intersession and the response was significant, said Dr. Bob Palmer, chairman of the department of art and design. "We are offering something other universities are not and we're really excited about it," Palmer said. "This class is at the cutting edge of technology and we offer it periodically. It helps students get practical experience they can use in their field," he said. Currently the class is offered once a year, during the summer. It is taught by Larry Hefner, UCO assistant professor of graphic design, and program director. Course pre-requisites are art 1042 and 1082. Much of the students' work from the class is displayed in the gallery of the art department. The idea behind digital printmaking is using the computer to create and reproduce more than one copy of the artwork. Multiple copies can be printed at the convenience of the artist. "Printmaking has been around for centuries, since the early days of the Renaissance. This technology enables the use of computers not only to enhance but to create art," Hefner said. "Traditional printmaking makes reproductions of art expensive and difficult for everyone to own great artwork. Digital printmaking is a method by which

EvERv

the average person could afford to own art." Traditional printmaking techniques, like lithography, use limestone and wood blocks. The image is traced onto the stone or wood, which is layered with oil, and inked in order to make the imprint on paper. Etching on the other hand uses a metal plate on which lines are etched with acid. The paper is then placed on top and printed on a machine. Both processes include a lot of manual labor. In comparison, creating multiples by digital printmaking has been debated as being too easy to be classified as art. One of the problems with digital printmaking is controlling the number of copies being printed. "This is a very controversial subject. Some people see it as a new technology and others doubt the authenticity of the artwork," Hefner said. "Our emphasis is to create the artwork on the computer, to create something of quality and longevity." Digital printmaking allows closer reproductions, affordable to a lot of people. One of its benefits is that unlike lithography, etching or silk screening, multiple copies can be printed at any time. For more information on the digital printmaking class, contact Hefner at 974-5211.

ere are some things you might find difficult to imagine: Condom billboards scattered around the South. Sex and contraception discussed frankly in schools. Teen pregnancy, abortion and AIDS rates less than half the current level. Northern Europe and the American South are two very different places, as a group of Charlottearea youth advocates and adolescent health experts are well aware. They recently returned from a study tour of the Netherlands, France and Germany. Their goal was to figure out what we could learn from countries where, by many indications, teen-agers are far more sexually responsible than here. They found cultures with a level of comfort about contraception that was stunning even to health professionals, cultures where most adults believe teens will have sex and advise them on how to do it without harming themselves or others. "Their attitude toward adolescents themselves seems different. They seem to respect them more as individuals and give them a level of trust for responsibility in their actions," said Townley Moon, executive director of the Mecklenburg (N.C.) Council on Adolescent Pregnancy. "Our expectation is no sex until marriage. Theirs is, Make Tracks Over

'Yes, you'll have sex, but be responsible."' That's not an attitude likely to be embraced throughout the Carolinas. "They go to Europe and say, 'Look how enlightened they are!' I happen to think they're just more immoral," says Mecklenburg County commissioner Bill James. In the Carolinas and across the United States, teen pregnancy rates have declined in recent years. A 1998 federal report credits abstinence and contraception - fewer teens are having sex, and those who do are using more birth control, it said. But the declines look minuscule when compared with figures from the countries the group visited. U.S. youth have more teen births, more sexually transmitted diseases and more abortions than their European peers, and according to one international survey, they start having sex younger. That is why tour participants argue that we must find a way to blend European openness about contraception with American messages about sexual abstinence. "When we only tell our kids the negative side, and their own bodies are telling them the positive, and so are the media, they've got to be thinking, 'Someone's lying here,"' said Linda Berne, a UNC Charlotte health education professor and tour organizer. "If they decide the abstinence people are lying, they go toward uninhibited, unprotected sex."

Aries (March 21April 19) Be cautious during that period to make sure you're headed in the right direction. Saturday and Sunday will be excellent for travel, and you'll certainly need a break by then. Plan a long run. You also need the exercise. Taurus (April 20May 20) Shop for damaged items over the weekend, especially stuff you need for your house. You can fix something up and save yourself a whole lot of money. Gemini (May 21June 21) Your household is full of interesting conversations Monday and Tuesday. You get old issues resolved, and romance is the natural result. By Wednesday, you'll be getting into the working part of the project, however. From then through Friday, you won't have much time to talk. Over the weekend, a partner gives sometimes unwanted advice. Better listen anyway.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) By Friday, hurt feelings will have healed, for the most part, and you'll all be on to fun and games. Saturday is excellent for sports and travel, and Sunday's not bad either. If you have a problem with romance this weekend, don't worry about it. Just schedule it for another time.

The moon in your sign indicates you get to call the shots. So plan a weekend you'll never forget.

Capricorn (Dec. 22Jan. 19) The cat could get out of the bag on Friday. If you've been trying to keep a secret, watch out. It could get away from you. More news comes through the grapevine on Virgo (Aug. Saturday. Watch for a surprising 23-Sept. development on Sunday, too. 22) Entertain at home over t h e weekend. Everyone wants to come to your house, even some people you haven't invited. No problem. The more the merrier. Libra (Sept. 23Oct. 23) There are lots of fun activities scheduled for this weekend. Sort through and pick out the ones that are educational, too. You're in the mood to learn, so hang out with someone who can teach you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20Feb 18) An older person calls you up short on Wednesday by making you prove what you've postulated. No problem, especially if you can put that conversation off until later in the week. Thursday's good, but Friday and Saturday are even better. If you can put it off until Sunday, you may not have to do it at all.

Pisces (Feb. 19March 20) Your energy level will be high, and you'll be coming up with good ideas. Don't hold back. Go ahead and let people know what they are. That's especially useful on Friday, when an older person is temporarily stymied. Restate the obvious to get the game going again.

The Wildcats were held to just 168 yards. Tarleton State enters the game with a record of 0-3 coming off a defeat against Harding in an LSC crossover game. Harding dropped TSU in a 28-21 game in overtime. TSU quarterback Chad Cole was 19-32 in passing for 280 yards. "Tarleton has played some very close games, and they should be a test for us," said head football coach Gary Howard. "Last year they played us close until the fourth quarter. I expect them to do that again," said Howard. The 5th ranked Bronchos enter the game without the services of Raider McHugh, who is recovering from surgery for torn biceps. The Bronchos lead the series against the Texans 3-0, with the Bronchos earning victories for the last three years. The Bronchos will face the Texans at 7 p. m. Saturday in Stephenville, Texas. The Bronchos next home game will be the homecoming game on Oct. 3, when they face Langston University in their final non-conference game of the season. The game will be at 2 p. m.

wo races into the cross country season, the UCO men's and women's team are doing well. In the UCO/Arcadia Lake Challenge this past Friday, the men's team placed fifth and the women's team placed second. The coach of both teams is Paul Parent. He is in his 20th season as men's coach, and 13th as the women's coach. Parent also doubles as the track and field coach. "I want these kids to be the best they can, but in 33 years of coaching I've learned not to get too caught up in predicting the future," said parent. The Bronchos men's team has three starters back this season. Sophomores Jason Dormeyer, Seth Hawkins, and junior Jared Lovett. Lovett placed in the top 15 two times last year. He placed 22nd this past weekend. The Bronchos' Jason Dormeyer finished 19th, placing the highest among the Bronchos with a time of 30 minutes 29 seconds. Other finishers for the Bronchos were Shane Pratt

The ladies are working hard and they are eager to run. I believe the women will get better —Paul Parent ° Head coach 30:48; Paul Givens, 31:17; and Dustin Mclure, 31:54. "We finished about as well as I felt we could. We have to define a fifth runner to move closer to the back to better our scoring," said Parent. The women's team also has three starters returning this year. They are led by senior Andrea Haley. Haley is returning for her fourth year. In her junior season she placed in the top 20 four times, highlighted by two eighth-place finishes. The other starters returning this year for the women's team are juniors Lacy Amen and Jenny Thompson.

Thompson had three top 20 finishes last season, including two ninth-place finish ,while Amen had three top 25 finishes. In Friday's race, UCO placed three racers in the top 25. Two of those finished in the top 15. "The women ran tough on there own course considering how tough it is, said Parent. The course at Lake Arcadia is rated a 3.8 on a 4 point scale by the NAIA. Freshman Becky Harvey placed the highest for the Bronchos, finishing 7th with a time of 20:52. This followed an 18th place finish in last weeks Oklahoma Christian Cross Country Invitational. Harvey was followed by Angelia Brumfield who finished 11th with a time of 21:34. The other Bronchos fishing the race were Lehah McCauley, 22:28; Andrea Haley 22:39; Jennifer Thomson, 24:01; and Shannon Finley, 24:40. "The ladies are working hard and they are eager to run," Paul Givens, junior runner on UCO's cross country team, said Parent. "I believe the women will finished 24th at the UCO/Arcadia Lake Challenge with a time of 31 minutes 17 seconds. (Staff photo by Lacy Amen) get better."

here is quiet dissension among , some students in East Hall, according to a recent survey of residents. A random survey of 30 students in East Hall showed that almost half of the students asked are unhappy with the way the RAs treated some students. The students surveyed are complaining about RAs treating some students better than others. They claim some students are being allowed to get away with blaring music, smoking in their rooms, and other violations of dormitory rules. Others are being singled out and disciplined for non-violations. Most of the students who acknowledged that there is a problem in East Hall would not allow their names to be printed, for fear they would be singled out for abuse and torment by the RAs. Matt Smith, a former resident of East Hall, was willing to speak on the subject, "I was thrown out of East Hall and forced to move to Murdaugh Hall, because one of the RAs didn't like me and he was determined to get me out," Smith said. Smith was removed from the dorm after several incidents with Jason Hodge, an RA

in East Hall. "I didn't like him from the first," Hodge said. Further attempts to contact Hodge went unanswered. Smith isn't the only one that said that the RAs in East Hall are singling out certain students. An informal survey of 30 East Hall residents showed that 14 said the RAs were sometimes unfair to certain students. The RAs are not without their supporters though. Twelve of the students who were surveyed said that the RAs were fair and treated everyone basically the same. Four of the residents surveyed couldn't make up their minds. East Hall resident Jeremy Hutton said, "The RAs are not really unfair, but sometimes people are not told everything. It's not that big of a deal." East Hall resident T. Bell stated, "I haven't seen it (the abuse of power by the RAs) happening around here." Todd Duncan, Director of Housing, said that there was a potential for abuse of power to occur, but he did not see it happening right now. "The RA staff are students and are at the appropriate level of development for their age. We train and educate for this not to happen, for them not to make it personal. Some people will make it personal," Duncan said.

Graphic art soiree drives annual membership Sept. 26 By Madhumathi Krishnamurthy

SINWriter The American Institute of Graphic Arts, Oklahoma chapter, invites students of UCO to participate in its annual membership drive, Saturday, Sept. 26. The Soiree '98 called, "I'll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours," begins 8 p.m., at the Joseph Mills Studio, 220 W. Wilshire Boulevard in Oklahoma City.

pieces, however, originals or framed work cannot be submitted. Deadline for final entries will be noon on Sept. 26. Photographic entries cannot be larger than 8x10 inches. Students are required to submit print pieces and unframed pieces which will be tacked or taped in an informal show. Students can obtain membership to the Institute for $45 a year.

"Journal of Graphic Design?'

U.S. president: Censure or censor

W

e are facing a crisis in America. All over this nation men and women are being arrested for doing nothing. Nothing! Every day men meet women who promise to show them a good time for a sum of money. The men, being good, upstanding citizens and trusting souls, think the ladies are offering to show them sites like the Statue of Liberty, Mount

Rushmore or the White House, so they pay the money. Instead, the women drop to their knees and begin performing oral sex. The poor, befuddled men simply stand there, trying to figure out what to do, when suddenly they are arrested for soliciting a prostitute. What did they do wrong? The same can be said for the woman who accepts a charitable contribution from a man, then lies down to rest. If she remains prone while the man makes love to her, she can be arrested for prostitution. How can this be? Isn't prostitution defined as selling one's self for sex? What is sex? Apparently "sex" is not what most of us thought it is. Most of us would believe we were engaging in some form of the act if we were doing the things Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky did. It isn't always a good thing to be right. Based on our president's marijuana

explanation, I often joked with friends, saying that someday Slick Willie would admit to one of the adulterous affairs he was accused of. He would say, "I had sex with her, but I didn't ejaculate." It's the same as saying he smoked pot and never inhaled. It's the same as promising a middle-class tax cut on the campaign trail and then raising taxes retroactively to a time before he was even president. .It's the same as

telling an MTV audience he believed Anita Hill over Clarence Thomas because a woman wouldn't lie about such a thing and then calling Lewinsky, Linda Tripp, Paula Jones and countless others liars for telling the truth about him. There was a time when mothers were proud to point to the president of the United States and tell their children they could grow up to be president themselves. Now, mothers have to turn off the television when the president is on so they can shield their

children from learning about obscene conduct performed by a man with no respect for women. Now, mothers have to set security parameters on their computers to keep their children from reading about the filthy acts of adultery, sodomy and fornication performed in the Oval Office. At least one caller to a locally-broadcast radio talk show said her child asked her, "What is a sex toy?" after hearing a news broadcast about the incident. Now, mothers pray their children will not grow up to be like their president. Now, anyone else who lies to a grand jury faces prison time, not just the possibility of job loss. Now, our president continues to lie to us and to those who are searching for the truth. Now, men are still being arrested for doing less vulgar deeds than those performed by our president and women are being arrested for doing the same things Lewinsky did for less reward.

Manson's "Rock Is Dead" prophetic

"Musical Chairs" short on seating

By Dustin Pyeatt StaffWriter

T

his week's review is a virtual potpourri of sound; the good, the bad and the ugly. First up is Marylin Manson's "Mechanical Animals" (Nothing/Interscope) Marylin is back with a new image, or so it seems. Marylin comes to us this time as a bizarre alien who is thrust into the limelight, and fronts a glam-rock band called Omega and the Mechanical Animals. All of this sounds suspiciously like David Bowie circa his Ziggy Stardust period. As for this new sound, that too seems fraudulent. The same themes are evident in every song; drugs, fame and religion. "Rock Is Dead" has the same intro, drum line and overall structure as "Beautiful People," from "Anti-Christ Superstar." And "I Don't Like The Drugs" sounds just like the Red Hot Chilly Peppers. To what do we owe this lack of

originality from the most original artist in years? This reviewer thinks it is due to the absence of Trent Reznor, who produced and even co-wrote much of "Anti-Christ." The only redeeming thing about "Animals" is the hidden meanings. The album was released on the 15th, Manson started spelling his name Marylln Man5on, and there is even a song called "Model No.15." Aside from the fact that Manson himself turns 30 this year, there is one more number of interest, the mysterious track 15. Try to find it on your CD player and you'll be disappointed. Slip it into your computer however, and presto. Track 15 is actually a video image of two paintings by Manson. This track also plays some creep music with a robot voice. And for one final trick, you'll notice the CD itself is white with the word "Coma" written on it. Hop on the interne and go to www.whitecoma.com and see what happens.

O

n a lighter note, there's the new Hootie and the Blowfish disc "Musical Chairs" (Atlantic). It's been quite some time since their last release, "Fairweather Johnson," so one would expect a great follow-up. Right? "Chairs" is standard Hootie for the most part, but does lack the up beat theme that dominated their previous albums, dealing mostly with love lost. This album has an almost country music feel to it. Hootie even begins to sound country on songs like "Michelle Post" by adding banjo, steel guitar and a light twang in the vocals. "Desert Mountain Showdown" also sounds a little bit country with violin, mandolin, harmonica and dobro (look it up). Hootie then tacks two final tracks on that have a smooth R&B sound, complete with soprano, alto sax and piano. "Home Again" is by far the best song on the album, reminiscent of "Let Her Cry" but with an upbeat chorus. The instrumentation on "Chairs" is

richer, more diverse and a bit more refined than previous Hootie. Songs like "Wishing" and "Answer Man" provide the only weak points on an otherwise decent album. Overall not bad, besides, it's just fun to say Hootie.
