GOT MONEY TO BURN? Surely, you must. Especially if you’ve been ignoring these lovely FREE ads! That’s right — each of the four ad spaces here are available without charge. All you have to do is fit the following description: • You must be a student organization. • You must have a camera-ready ad that fits into a 3.5 x 4.8 inch space. • You must have your ad delivered to our office by the Monday of the week your ad should mn. Tliat’s about it! Preference is given to student organizations who receive the least amount of SAFAC funding, and we do frown upon running an ad for the same organization for two consecutive weeks. But heck, if people keep passing up diis opportunity then we’ll run your ad all summer! For the whole low-down, visit our offices at 3010 MacAlister. And when you’ve got the cash for one more pizza for your members, remember: You’ve got the Triangle to thank for it. 10 • The Triangle • June 30,1995 Com ics

We have a very special message for all of you; Stop reading a college paper—you're one of "them" now. Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Defeat summers heat by strap- Ding an air conditioner to your lead. Be sure to buy an exten­ sion cord for those weekend trips to the shore. Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20): Now is the oeginning or a new school term. Make a resolution not to procrastinate as you nor­ mally do. Fail all your finals now, instead of waiting until the last minute. Gemini (May 21-June 21): You will be befriended by a large pig named Virgil. Shelow your interest by taking him to all the finest restaurants and bars. Try to hide the fact that you are only fattening him for slaughter. Cancer (June 22-July 22): Your new job as a street mime takes a turn for the worse when you get locked in your invisible box. Someone might help you out if mimes weren't so damn annoying. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Impress the opposite sex by buyingouying a flashy new sports car. T‘ This is just the kind of expensiveisiv toy you need to reassure yourselfyc that you are just as cool as you always thought you were. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you read this horoscope back­ wards it says syas ti sarawkcab epocsoroh siht uoy fi. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Tension will rise when your roommate steals your leftover pi2za. Be sure to communicate your disapproval by stapling the empty box to hisr heaa. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You will be selected for a med­ ical research project wherein you eat nothing but Froot Loops and Pez for a month. In addi­ tion to the $25 you receive for being a guinea pig, you notice that you are now dDle to watch scrambled cable channels. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will be forced to fire your interior decorator when she suggests that lava lamps and bean bag sofas are no longer in style. » the FED #l;vol 1./™ & © 1995 Don M.

Jonathan C. Poet Ed-Op Editor Toadies are from Texas. Texas is big. I betcha the Toadies are bigger. I’m not talking about bodily size here; I’m talking about sound — the loud kind. The Toadies’ debut on Interscope, Rubberneck, did nothing for me the first time I heard it. I put it into my CD player once and it was immedi­ ately forgotten. Then one day, an awe-inspiring sensation swept over me and Rubberneck found its way into the CD player again. I couldn’t be happier.
