Those whose work we never see usually don't get the /rtfev , our J'MMriNt attention they deserve. £ "A% MORE FOKTHE That is what's happening with TCU staff, such as housekeepers and groundskeepers.The TCU Staff Assembly is bringing the much-needed recognition by working toward increasing the salaries of non-exempt staff members. Staff Assembly Chairwoman Mary Lane said Wednesday that during the recession in the early 1990s, people could be hired at low salaries. Adjustments were not made in following years, however, and current salaries are not competitive with the market, she said. Current entry-level pay for regular employees amounts to $11,915 a year before taxes. According to the Federal Register, the poverty line for a family of four is $16,700. Many of our housekeepers are finding themselves liv- .a ing in poverty. What a sad scene this is.

CD reviews

NEVE Self-titled You may have heard of the band Neve, but chances are, you haven't. It really doesn't matter, because they won't be the next big thing, at least not in the near future. Neve's self-titled debut album already boasts the chart- worthy "It's Over Now," which was featured on last year's "The Faculty" soundtrack. But despite the promise it showed with its hit, the album paled several shades in comparison. As a pop-rock band, its first album neither shined with pop ditties nor did it really rock out. It did come close though, which means this band has poten- tial. My advice: listen before you buy. RANKING: • —Angie Chang

VIOLENT FEMMES Viva Wisconsin The latest release by the Violent Femmes is a back-to-basics recording of an acoustic tour they did in their home state of Wisconsin. A must have for any Femmes fan, this album is 20 tracks of their best songs including favorites such as "Kiss Off' and "Blister in the Sun." This album captures the Femmes at their best: unplugged and live. RANKING: **•• —Angie Chang
