*In The Spotlight*

By ROSALIND STINSON

The music industry is booming. Recording studios will tape anything no matter the shape, form or fashion of the music. Has the Federal Communications Commission stopped censorship? The '81 tunes consist of songs such as "Words," "Snapshot," "Crackin," and one in particular, "Controversy," which is a controversial issue. The artist, Prince, is known for his musical sexual abstractions such as his hit for 1980, "Head," and it hit the top of the charts. How does it get to the top?

Brooks for his prompt response in towing away a car that was parked in a private parking zone. Office Brooks' actions gave the A&T Computer Director free access to his private space, and resulted in a net loss of $15 (wrecker fee) to members of the Register staff. True, the staff member broke a sacred campus taboo by parking in an administrative area (shame, shame) and his ears were pinched severely so that this never happens again. But one question remains unanwsered: Why did Officer Brooks allow the owner of a blue BMW to park in a "no parking zone " and escape without even getting a slap on the wrist. The officer informed the staff that he can only answer one call at a time, but people have parked illegally in this area for many moons without even getting a citation from campus security. On one occasion, a vehicle was parked in this no parking zone a security officer was driving by. The officer, whose name eludes me at the moment, watched the car with marked interest, but issued no ticket, nor did Everybody Is A Star he call the wrecker. to As staffers tried to negotiate for the safe release of By Tony Moore Or has the family condescended outstanding siblings the "Green Ba Ba," Officer Brooks said the staffer The sophomore class has launched a coddling only its wrong leaving its less fortunate blood to had no legitimate complaint.
