Dear Bud, The name "mole" does not, as most people think, come from the small, burrowing mammal. Rather, it comes indirectly from the name of den Mohrekuchenmachem, a German guild of carrot bread bakers during the sixteenth century. The "Mohren" were one of the first guilds outside of the fledgeling construction industty to merge with the Society of Freemasons. R. R. Blacker, the benefactorofBlacker House, was ofcourse a Mason, and often went by the nickname "Moley," which, it is surmised, is a corrupted form of "Mohren" (R. R. was a well known carrot lover). He bestowed his nickname upon the House in 1938 in a letter which reads, in part, "... you shall now be known as 'moles:"

ADAM VILLANI: Caltech MEDIA GUY Jazz Bands . by Adam Villani

Welcome to Media Guy. nus column will ~ full of my opinions on a variety of subjects in the entertainment world, and there may Concert Band even be a few useful items.

John Cage Rolywholyover: A Circus John Cage died last year, but you can still see his new art exhibit Chamber Music at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles. It uses many of his ideas on indeterminism based onthe I Ching. The exhibit incorporates many separate works of art arranged by various Auditions for new members random algorithms, and the individual pieces are brought into the exhibit, moved, or removed each day. The overall effect is somewhat will be held akin to the feeling 1 got when 1 was a little kid visiting the L.A. Children's museum-there's just so much to do. The first room has Saturday, Sept. 25 2-5 PM cabinets with hundreds ofbooks inside their own individual drawers. Sunday, Sept. 26 7-10 PM All of the books looked interesting, but there's just no way 1 could Monday, Sept. 27 4-6 PM have looked through all of them. The other rooms are filled with a random hodgepodge of art works, many of them Cage's. Like all of Cage's works (I am most familiar with his music), the ideas behind in room 12, the making of Rolywholyover: A Circus are quite interesting and Student Activities Center, intellectually challenging, ·but unlike most of his ·other works, this located under Fleming House. one is actually aesthetically pleasing and fun. There is a sign-up sheet Late Night Talk Show Wars on the door of room 12. David Letterman: Thumb Up. Jay Leno: Thumb Down, but he'll stick around. Conan O'Brien: A potential Thumb Up. Chevy Chase: Ouch. Thumb Down. All are welcome, regardless "Saved By the BeD: The College Years" of previous experience. O.K., 1 actually watched the premiere ofthis show. Whatis it about this show? The writing is sophomoric, the acting is tepid, and it's Questions? certainly nothing new. It's still kind ofenjoyable. Maybe it's because this show doesn't attempt to be meaningful like 90210, or maybe it's Call Bill or Delores Bing at because Kelly'S a babe, or maybe it's because watching this show (213) 684-8964 or x6198. makes me thankful that 1 go to Caltech instead of "California University" with these morons.

ProgWatch Progressive music a la Yes, ELP, Magma, early Genesis, Gentle Giant, and King Crimson has got to be the most abused form ofmusic in the media. For a prime example, read the section on "Progressive Rock" in the RoUing Stone Record Guide. Rolling Stone's review of Yes's "Union" disc wasn't a review ofthe album until halfway through the review, after the reviewer had flnshed his tirade about how prog You Have wasn't "real" rock 'n' roll. So anyway, 1 shall be the antithesis of rock "journalists. " The new King Crimson project will" consist of Robert Fripp What It Takes (guitar), Adrian Belew (guitar), Tony Levin (bass, stick), Jeny Marotta (drums), and former Crafty Guitarist Trey Gunn on stick and guitar. Two stick players in one band! Unfortunately this project To Be a Member Of The has been delayed (sigh) because Fripp is tending to his ailing mother. Don't come whining to me about Bill Bruford not being in on this project, because you won't get any sympathy. The new Yes studio album has been delayed and will hopefully be Women's Glee Club! good. Steve Howe's latest, "The Grand Scheme of Things," is out, and he sings on it, so be warned.

The Citibank Classic Visa® instills in students feelings of safety, security, and general well ness not unlike those experienced in the womb. Therefore, it is the mother of all credit cards. IJI Some experts attribute these feelings to the Citibank Photocard, the only credit card with your photo on it. A voice inside says, "This is me, really me." (As opposed to, "Who the heck is that?"-a common response to the photo

on one's driver's license.) It's an immediate form of

ID, a boost to your self-image. IJI Of course if your card is

ever lost or stolen and a stranger is prevented from using it,

you'll feel exceptionally good (showing no signs of Credit

Subject suffering from Card Theft Nervosa). IJI Other experts point to specific Credit Card Theft Nervosa. services, such as The Lost WalletmService that can replace

You need only see the same item advertised in print for less, within 60 days, and Citibank will refund the difference up to $150 1 (hence no Post Purchase Depression).

(Case studies indicate that a Fear of Flying is overcome when Spring Break in sunny Florida is a possibility.) Not to mention the low variable interest rate of 15.4%5 and no annual fee for col1ege students. IJI Suffice it to say, you'll have a credit card you can depend on while building a credit history. So call 1-800-CITIBANK, extension 19, to apply over the· phone (students don't need a job or a cosigner) or to have your photo added to your Citibank Classic Visa card.
