■ World News Briefs JUGOSLAVIA Alcoholic treats scare parents

CANBERRA, Australia An Australian company’s brainstorm — selling ice pops with a kick of alcohol — is getting a frosty reception from parents and government officials who fear that kids will get their hands on the potent pops. Next month, the M elbourne-based Liquor Pops company plans to debut the frozen snacks laced with six-percent alcohol in flavors such as cola, melon, pineapple and orange. The amount of alcohol in the ice pops is higher than Australia's full-strength beers, which typically have an alcohol content of between four and five percent. Geraldine Burke, a spokeswoman for the Victorian Federation of State School Parents Clubs, said children will inevitably get hold of the new product. “I think it’s just an absolute ploy for underage alcohol consumption,” she said. Health Minister Michael Wooldridge urged the com­ pany to reconsider the plan. “ Enticing young people, especially pre-teens, with a confec­ tionery type product which is laced with alcohol is unconscionable,” Wooldridge said.

Pepper", so I hoped that this might be what the other wasn't. The first single, "Somethin’ Hot" gave me my first disappointment. Singer/scribe Greg Dulli's lyrics on this album’s opening track establish an insulting tonewhich is felt throughout the entire album. The prim ary focus of the album seems to be Dulli's insa­ tiable sexual desires and the might of his prowess. If one thing can drag down an album, it is lyrics so self-involved tthat they cause the listener mental and physical illness. Additionally, Dulli's narrative style is neither interesting nor original. The Afghan Whigs might be a much better if they were to dump Dulli in pursuit of a less irritating lyricist. The album's music has a nice thick quality that holds solid throughout. The best music can be found on "66", "Citi Soleil", "Neglekted" and "The Vampire Lanois." Exactly what the connection between this album and its patron Photo courtesy of Sony Music year is remains to be seen. It certainly fails to form a musical or lyrical connection to my ears.

Georgia Tech appeared intent on lifting its program to new heights at the expense of the Irish, and managed to spoil Jarious Jackson’s comeback. While split end Malcolm Johnson echoed the sentiments of many C of his teammates, telling a group of reporters, "at Notre Dame there arc no moral victories," the day’s frustrations overshadowed some outstanding career-ending performances. Since setting foot on campus in the fall of 1995, Autry Denson may have come the farthest of any player. Beginning his career on special teams and as a cornerback, Denson moved to the offensive side of the ball, and never looked back. The school’s all-time lead­ ing rusher added 130 yards to his total .. with a strong performance in the Gator m Bowl. When Jackson struggled to find his rhythm, Denson was there. And paving the way for the record- setting rushing attack was a mammoth offensive line led by senior captain and all-American Mike Rosenthal. The homegrown product logged more min­ utes than any non-starting lineman in his first year, and continued to improve, solidifying a line that held its own even in defeat. Defensively, the Irish struggled to contain the Yellow Jackets, but seniors Kory Minor, Bobbie Howard and Jimmy Friday wouldn't go down without a The Observer/Kevin Dalum Senior Autry Denson has developed more then any member of the senior class, becoming Notre Dame's all-time leading rusher. fight.

Football Tech takes away tenth win aspirations Seniors press for the green jerseys in last appearance for Irish By ALLISON KRILLA Associate Sports Editor

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. They were the talk of Alltel Stadium on New Year’s Day. With one of the most competitive bowl game match-ups moments away and the hometown Jaguars practicing just outside the stadium, Notre Dame’s green jerseys were the predominant topic of conversation. But as Bob Davie stressed, wearing the green jerseys was not some premeditated ploy to give the Irish a psychological edge over the Yellow Jackets. A group of seniors, players who watched the Fighting Irish play for a national title from their living rooms in 1988, and saw the green jerseys in the 1995 Fiesta Bowl, requested the change. These seniors saw Jan.! as one of the biggest games of their careers — an opportunity to win the elusive 10th game of the season. Before seeking to live dreams of NFL glory, or taking on corporate America, or continuing their education, the class of 1999 had one final hurrah N the Gator Bowl. It seemed like yesterday that the current seniors played in their first bowl game on Jan. 1, 1996. The Orange Bowl loss to Florida State ended their first college foot­ ball season at 9-3. But the highly touted recruiting class held the future of the Notre Dame program in their able hands. Fast forward to Jacksonville, Fla., where
