The Academy of American Poets University and College Poetry Prizes SUBMITTED BY THE ACADEMY OF AMERICAN POETS

The Academy of American Poets announces its annual college poetry contest. A $100 prize will be offered for the best poem or group of poems submitted to the English Department or Creative Writing Department. The winner will be announced in the Spring. Founded in 1955 with ten schools participating, the University and College Poetry contests are now being held at 178 colleges and universities across the country. Many prominent American poets won their first recognition with an Academy College Poetry Prize including Sylvia Plath, Louise Gluck, George Starbuck, Tess Gallagher. Robert Mezey, and Heather McHugh. Each contest is sponsored for a renewable five-year term, or in perpetuity through a one-time donation of 2,500. The Academy now requires that all new prizes be funded in perpetuity; there are currently 46 prizes permanently endowed. The prizes are supported by alumni interested in encouraging young writers, by the colleges or universities, or by the gifts of anonymous donors. Every five years, the Academy publishes an anthology of selected prize-winning poems, edited by a prominent American poet. The last edition of the University and College Prize Anthology, New Voices, 1984-1988, was edited by Donald Hall. The Academy expects to compile its next anthology for publication in 1994. The Academy of American Poets, now in its 57th year, is a non-profit organization devoted to simulating interest in American poetry through fellowships and public programs. The Academy offers an annual fellowship for distinguished poetic achievement, the Peter L. B. Lavan Younger Poet Awards, and three major book awards. The Academy's readings, lectures, and regional symposia take place in New York City and other locations in the United States. For further information, please contact the Academy. ROC on!

Well, as usual, ROC has been more than busy. Our group has been out and about doing all Matt Young and Alexa Roydan in a 11U. X1Uney . sorts of exciting things. It's hard to believe that we do so much on a weekly basis, but it seems there is so much to do and too little time! Here are some of the most recent things that we have been up to. Wild Honey at the ROC's Wekiwa Springs Canoe Trip On Saturday, February 29th, ROC headed off for the deep green waters of the Wekiwa River. Although we got off with a late start, we hit the waters with enough time to enjoy the day with plenty of sun and water fights. After finding our campsite already inhabited, we continued up Annie Russell Theatre river in search of any place large and dry enough to put a tent. Two inhabited tent sites later, and nearing dark, we found our swampy abode. After burritos and a roaring fire, we re- embarked into the dark waters to "gator hunt".

The scariest thing of our nightboat trip was rejected suitor, a revolver, a law messenger, and an express train waiting in the wings. Of course to hear alligator calls next to our campsite.

We fell asleep to the sounds "Wild Honey",translated and adapted by Michael Frayn, author of such Broadway successes as of alligators, frogs, owls, and small, unseen rodents.

Waking to the sound of a whipper will and great Herons, we cooked pancakes before The story is that of Platonov, a village schoolteacher who seduces the ladies with sweet talk, launching back into the canoes for our day's excursion. We quickly met our highest excitement grows bored with all of them, and abandons them.

Worn out with his water. After several minutes of nervous laughter, the rest of the day was just a relaxing stroll subterfuge, he turns to the audience and cries: "Is this happiness?" as we let the current carry us home. Like most philanderers, Platonov is a bored scoundrel who can't seem to help his actions. He is Be watching for another canoe trip by ROC later in the year. We're sure it will be as exciting a compulsive liar who, at the conclusion, unlike most philanderers, can't bear the unhappiness he as this one! has created for himself and those around him.

SARAH McLACHLAN, SOLACE (Nettwerk/ 3-04-92 Reprisal and Slow at the Beach Club Arista Records): 3-05-92 Potential Frenzy at Visage 3-06-92 The Tower of Power at the Beacham BY CARLA BORSOI Another Sandspur Music Reviewer 3-09-92 Cat E. Wampus at Harpers As with any female singer, especially lesser known 3-1 1-92 Sun-60 at the Beach Club ones, Sarah McLachian draws comparisons from Sinead The Radiators at the Beacham • O'Conner to Kate Bush. Yet, McLachian definitely has 3-12-92 her own style, and her own voice. Her voice could be 3-13-92 Ice-T with Body Count at Visage described as strong, warm, and expressionistic. Her The Spin Men at the Magic Wok latest album, Solace, finds McLachian showing off various sides to her personality. The first track on the 3-14-92 Maybe For Morning and Shock Lizard at the CD, "Drawn to the Rhythm," is about love, like most of Magic Wok the album. It manages to highlight the sensitive side to The Bonedadys at the Beacham McLachian, inviting further to listen to the whole album. The second track, 'Into the Fire" ,also the Crying Out Loud at Boomers single, is an upbeat, semi dancy tune. HereMcLachlan's Big Audio Dynamite with Public Image Limited voice is a driving relentlessly into your heart. Her range and Live at the Edge is incredible. By the third track, you can't believe it when McLachian sings with a slightly countrified style, 3-16-92 Metallica at the Orlando Arena in a moody song entitled 'The Path of Thorns ." "I will 50LACT Follow For Now at the Beacham Jazz and Blues not forget you" follows, and here you can definitely see reasons to compare McLachian to Sinead. The clarity of Club McLachian voice shines on this track, " I will not forget you/ nor will I will ever let you go" may be simple 3-23-92 Lydia Lynch on the "Spoken Word" tour at Below lyrics, but she sings them with such emotion that you understand exactly how she feels as she sings this Zero song. After this, "Lost" keeps in with the theme of the album, moving on to a darker, sadder side to 3-25-92 The Genitorturers and Grinch at the Beach Club McLachian's character. Her melody is echoed and countered by a male singer, which I believe makes this the weakest song on the album. On the next track, "Back Door Man" , lets us hear McLachlan's lower The Smithereens at UCF range, and a certain praticality has entered her interpretation, until she lets go with a rare fierce 3-27-92 Shabba Ranks at the Beacham demonstration of the power of her songwriting. Until now, I have only commented on her voice, but in 3-28-92 many of the tracks it seems as if the music is only a backdrop to show it off. By " Back Door Man" you Cat E. Wampus at the Magic Wok know that this simply isn't true, since a lot of the force of the song comes from the beat. "Shelter" is a 4-01-92 Afghan Whigs at the Beach Club woman's song, and I can't say exactly why I say this, except that, the texturing in the song is rich, and 4-04-92 Lush with the Poster Children at the Beacham it is song that invites the listener to join in, and empathize with McLachian when she sings about people who express a cruel side to their nature, which McLachian doesn't necessarily want to see. This song 4-07-92 They Might Be Giants at the Beacham is also about the pain that can occur in bad situations, and the listener is invited to share his/her pain as 4-1 1-92 King Missle at the Beach Club well. "Black " is more avant-garde than the rest of the album. This is largely due to the use of the viola and the violin contrasting with the mandolin and accordian. Each song on the album has brought us closer - to this emotional plateau, where McLachian has examined the aspects of her life, and by "Home" , we WPRK Top 10 are ready for the start of the cathartic moments which will eliminate the emotional tension McLachian has Compiled by Carlos Pinto effectively built. The lyrics of this song are about a young girl "with the dream in her eyes." Without a doubt, this song is hopeful. This trend continues until the end of the album. "Mercy" is a quasi-choral I. Pixies Trompe Le Monde track, and by layering her voice, we get the full feel of McLachlan's pure voice, and the passion. The 2.

Literary Fu Chunks BY JENNIFER LEIGH HILLEY Sandspur Book Reviewer Okay, okay; I admit it. With all of the deadlines crashing down on my little life this week, I haven't read a new book for your edification. You can thank the English Department for keeping me so busy. I've been fretting over a paper about Renaissance Love Poetry. Which, I can gather, y'all could probably care less about. And so, in the grand tradition of Bob Morris, Orlando Sentinel Columnist Whom I Someday Hope To Resemble (minus the beard), here are some tasty bits of Literary Fu Chunks. In a future issue, I might be nice and run some summaries of old classics, for all of those of you struggling through E 101. (Keep in mind, my droogies, that Cliffs Notes have been known to be inaccurate. No joke. And all of your professors have already found the mistakes.) But without further ado... CHECK OUT CARL HIAASEN This isn't, say, Dostoevsky, but Carl Hiaasen is no mere product of pop culture, his novels look slick, polished, and paperback-ready, but these colorful covers disguise a veritable gold mine of Florida humor and biting social commentary.

Besides whiling away many otherwise sunburned afternoons, these flomareBearden's Ritual Bayou will be on diplay at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum. novels made a great impression upon my malleable psyche and molded me into the wonderful person... well, okay, I'll drop the hyperbole. However, on the gigglemeter these score high. I fell off the couch once African-American art laughing. Hiaasen, a writer for the Miami Herald, has penchants for prose, dialogue, and creating unforgettably demented characters. Among his arsenal of wackoes is a roadkill-eating hermit named Skink, a tacky Anew display at the Cornell Museum T.V. talk show host named Reynaldo Flemm (get it?), and a very hungry crocodile named Pavlov.

Yeah... As If! BY JENNIFER ST. JOHN Babe-o-Licious Sandspur Film Critic

Party on, Wayne. Party on, Garth.. And that's about the gist of it. Wayne's World is...well... Wayne's World. I'll apologize now for the fairly inconsequential Review I am about to give in the tradition of The Blues Brothers, Wayne's World is Saturday Night Live gone to the big screen, and does so with its usual silliness and absurdity. SNL has always been on the cutting edge of comedy, so I was particularly interested to see if the movie was going to be as funny as a "Wayne's World" skit. And it was. The plot is thinner that the paper it was written on, but it doesn't matter.

Greenhouse: Education and action, a new year and a new focus

Since that time, various strides have been made in air and water dilution control and spec.es proteco^ Despite this minimal progress numerous catastrophic environmental problems still remain. For instance, 42 million people die each yJ^iZ^S ulated world where hunger and starvanon have become almost a Third World norm. Species extinction continues as well, with one species being annihilated every hour. Urban andTnTuS wa give rise to and perpetuate ground water pollution ozone depletion, global warming, soil erosion, overflowing landfills, and nuclear waste infiltration, just Jname a fe*"mas Two Related aspects have led o thisenvironmentalprists: 1)'population growth and 2) detrimental cultural attitudes such as those of unlimited growth and wanton materialism. Experts predict that population will increase from the presen 5.2 billion to 8 billion by 2020. This cancerous growth of the human population clouds the future of planet Earth While the average student cannot singularly tackle the population problem, s/he can aspire to change prevailing societal attitudes. This is achieved first by modifying oneself through education experience, and action. If a person takes the time to educate themselves by being open to diverse information and experiences, then s/he is usually inspired to act upon those issues which s/he feels crucial to a basic, if not meaningful and pleasurable existence. \ollins students often complain about the current attitudes on campus. Many say that there are not enough activities available which offer eclectic perspectives. RIDICULOUS! The opportunities exist in abundance. One such important opportunity lies within the "quiet and often unheard of environmental organization-GREENHOUSE. Greenhouse offers a forum for ALL Rollins students who have environmental concerns. Our meetings consist of short lectures by students and experts on a wide variety of ecological problems Weintendto focus this semester on "education and action". We want to make the students aware of the problems societies face and then allow them to participate in activities which might help alleviate some of those problems. y If you arej interested in either learning more about environmental studies or maybe, teaching others what you know, join us at a meeting.

Blues Traveler in concert at Rollins SUBMITTED BY STEPHANIE BOTHWELL Special to the Sandspur

What do Chan Kinchla, Bobby Sheehan, John Popper, and Brendan Hill all have in common? They're the members that make up the electrifying sound of Blues Traveler. Themusic ofBlues Traveler has been described as a funky mix up of blues, jazz, R&B, funk, psychedelic, and good ole rock-n-roll. The New York-based quartet came together as "The Blues Band" in the spring of 1987 and began playing at local parties in New Jersey. After renaming themselves "Blues Traveler" the band relocated in New York. They found themselves playing some of Manhattan's most popular clubs and landing a record deal with A&M Records in 1989. The band's first album, Blues Traveler, which sold 100,000 copies on a word-of-mouth basis was widely hailed for its brilliance. A year and a half later, they followed up with Travelers and Thieves, which is receiving the same recognition. This group is more than going somewhere. They have had a great following of fans and have been liked by many critics. 'There is something that Blues Traveler has that people really enjoy..." said bass player Bobby Sheehan. So, students of Rollins, come out on March 31 and enjoy one of the best blues quartets around. Blues Traveler will be in concert at the Enyart-Alumni Fieldhouse. This show is guaranteed to be a blast. Tickets will be on sale soon in the bookstore for $10.00. Students will be able to Validine them. Come on out and have a great time, and enlighten yourself with the music of one of the most unique blues bands around.

Tars win second championship FRED BATTENFIELD SANDSPUR CONTRIBUTOR

Last year, the Tars needed a little help from their friends to win the school's first-ever Sunshine State Conference Championship. In 1991-92, they did it themselves. Rollins, using some of the nation's toughest defense and top shooting, won its second straight SSC Championship by downing St. Leo 82-74 and Florida Tech 79-72 in Melbourne last Saturday. The Tars, who set anew school record for most wins in a season at 22-5, clinched the conference crown behind junior All-American candidate Derek Thurston, who scored 25 points against F.I.T. and 19 vs. St. Leo. Thurston, who was one of three SSC players voted to the NABC All-South team last week, pushed his scoring mark to 17.2 per game. He also leads the Tars in assists (104) and steals (43). The 6-3 junior from Alexandria, Ind., who is projected to be named the SSC's Player of the Year, continued his unprecedented success at Rollins. He also was named the league's Player of the Week March 2 for leading the Tars to the league crown. David Wolf and Andre Green have also been two primary factors in the Tars' best season ever. Wolf averages 16.7 ppg and a team-high 7.7 rebounds (third best in the SSC). Wolf and Green combine to give Rollins a tough inside scoring threat and the duo collect 12 rebounds per game. Oreen averages 64.1% from the field. By virtue of winning the SSC regular season championship, Rollins will host the conference post-season tournament for the second consecutive year. In a unique change this year, all tournament games will be played at the Wnyart-Alumni Fieldhouse, rather than having first round games at satellite sites.

In so many ways our society enshrines violence that the allegedly universal prayer for peace may simply be holiday hypocrisy and sentimental self-delusion. Billy's Boost If we deeply love causing harm to others, we are a malignant species, and we deserve to reap what we sow. BY BILLY MARSHALL, JR. But the examples of truly good behavior, historical and contempo­ Sandspur Columnist rary, belie such cynicism. Though the multitudes may be infected with violence, some few people do deeply abhor and renounce it. They are cured of the malady of wishing harm to others, no matter the provocation. Such saints are rare but real. Though the common concept of "heroism" The Greatest Natural Law Is: entails violence and often exalts warriors, there are heroes of a gentler kind, exponents of non-violence. I think you can name your own examples, besides such obvious candidates as Gandhi, Schweitzer, POS. = POS. NEG. = NEG. King, and Mother Teresa. Discovering such saints and heroes, or those people who have at certain times in their lives exhibited true saintly heroism, is a vital task in these cynical times. It'shard, but not hopeless. Though our modern instinct is to grovel in search of others' clay feet, to yank all supposed heroes off their pedestals, and to revel in the covert vices and follies revealed by tabloid snoops; even so, deceit and hypocrisy don't lurk in everyone's closet. And once you identify the Iri'Depth spiritually elite, you can inquire into the wellsprings of their goodness. What prompts and motivates them? What sustains them?

And, I think we all are having problems understanding your follow through on environmental policies, espe­ cially your "no net loss of wetlands" pledge. Your budget director's explanation that "He didn't say that. He read what was given to him in a speech" hasn't helped either.

You should be sensitive to this issue. But, instead, your administration is at odds with both scientific evidence and the view of the rest of the industrialized world. Like I said, George, it's that vision thing again. But WW help is on the way in the form of the United Nations Commission on Environment and Development (UNCED). That's right, George, it's the so-called Earth Summit to be held in Rio in June. This will be the most important meeting on the future of our planet ever held. At that meeting world leaders will get together to sign agreements on a global sustainable development strategy. This isn't just about the survival of cute and cuddly animals, George. It's about the maintenance of the natural biological systems upon which our entire global economy depends. And, you've been invited!! Everyone's ye Te*f • going to be there, George, all your friends— John Major, Helmut Kohl. Boris Yeltsen, they'll all be there. But, you haven't even sent in your R.S.V.P!! George, this is important!! The UNCED process will fail unless the U.S., the world's largest economy, is an active participant. The U.S. has the opportunity to once again lead the world. And what a photo opportunity, George. But in order to be there to sign those agreements in June, a lot of work needs to be done first. The final preparatory meeting for the Earth Summit begins in New /ux York City on March 2. Your administration needs to stop its obstructionism and engage constructively in discus­ sions on specific timetables for the achievement of in­ ternationally set goals. Without your support UNCED will fail. This failure would destroy your claim to be the environmental president and maybe your claim to be a two term presi­ dent as well!!
