Page 6 V 0L 99, No. 50 Published for San Jose State University since 1934 November 6, 1992 Student My achy-breaky back withdraws vi complaint Student cites lack of time BY KERRY PETERS Spartan Daily Stall Writer A complaint against the Campus Democrats alleging verbal and physical threats has been dropped. Marcia Holstrom, the student who filed the letter of complaint, decided to drop her charges. "It's just not worth it:' Holstrom said. "I don't have the time, and I don't have the energy to fight it:' The complaint, addressed to Dan Buerger, execu- tive assistant to Interim President J. Handel Evans, was filed last week after Holstrom interrupted a Campus Democrats press conference on Oct. 22 at Tower Quad. Holstrom said she interrupted the con- ference because she objected to the group's use of the university seal which she thought might lead people to believe SJSU was endorsing Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton for president. When Holstrom came forward at the event, sever- al members of the group hosting the event verbally attacked her, Holstrom said, and threatened to "take care of her later:' prompting her to file the complaint. However, members of the Campus Democrats and other people who participated in the event PATTI EAGAN SPARTAN DAILY denied Holstrom's charges. Carol Sullivan, In her step training class, pushes her students to the limit every Tuesday and Thursday at 1:30 p.m. in the Spartan Complex. Holstrom said that after talking to Phil Sanders, Step training is a type of aerobics that emphasizes a cardiovascular workout and muscle toning without the stress to the joints.

  • Excerpts from What the Press Has Said About
    Excerpts from what the press has said about some of Cheer-Accident’s past releases: WHAT SEQUEL? 2006 PRAVDA Featuring: Scott Ashley (Guitar), Thymme Jones (Vocals, Drums, Clarinet, Trumpet, Recorder, various keyboard instruments), Jeff Libersher (Bass, Guitar, Piano, Trumpet, bg. Vocals), John McEntire (Overdubs, Mixing), Julie Pomerleau (Violin), Jessica Ruffins (Engineer), Toby Summerfield (Double Bass) “Cheer-Accident seems to thrive on the contradictions of experimental music. For every straight-ahead piano-driven pop number there's a song flailing hard rock riffs with abandon, and usually these two opposing genres are place right next to one another. …the group does an admirable job synthesizing an avant-garde pop collection from decades old indie rock basics and eccentric asides. There are shades of Pavement, Unwound and Sonic Youth in the slightly atonal slacker guitar strum on "Keep in Touch," the pogoing chorus punctuation seems particularly Malkmus-ian. "Go Gone Green" has a great drive of '70s prog/jazz... Jesus Lizard skronk spreads out all over "Surviving a Methodology;" chugging guitars cut a sinister path through a rhythm section bent on strange time signatures. …as an album of '90s fringe indie rock revisited, it's a fine statement.” – Aaron Shaul, Ink 19, July 2007, www.ink19.com “… Cheer-Accident has been dirtying their hands in some form or another for over twenty-years and it’s obvious that music is the fruit of their hard work. … What Sequel? finds the band actually introducing the word “concise” into their terminology, thanks in large part to the efforts of producer John McEntire (Tortoise, The Sea And Cake).
