Andrew Ross News Wktter Drexel’s Microcomputer Policy Committee is contemplating unbundling the software packages from computers purchased from the University. This change would lower the prices of the computers purchased from Drexel, but would add an annual fee of about $50 to $80 to the tuition bill. The latest versions of the software would then be freely distributed to Drexel students. The change would bring Drexel’s hardware prices in line with the academic discounts offered at other schools. However, the money students would spend on the hardware and the software fee would probably be the same as it is now; the software costs would be spread out over the four or five years a student is here for. The new prices and fee will definitely not be implemented until the year after next, if at all, according to J. Minas of the committee. The major roadblocks are getting all of the software vendors to agree Students were able to talk to area employers at this week’s Careerfair.

S e n i o r G ro u p The songs on Body Count should work, but they don’t Not that the band hasn’t tried; they did. But the sonic intensity that marks both thrash metal and hardcore rap, which made the mix of the two so exciting, is missing. Body Count really doesn’t sound like a metal band. It sounds like a rapper and some musicians who got together and tried to sound like a metal band. The lackluster production from Ice T and Ernie C certainly doesn’t help. Ice T might have been more successful if he had stayed more in the rap direction rather than trying force a sound out of a band. Somewhere out there is a band that has found the perfect fusion of rap and metal. Living Colour and Urban Dance Squad come close. The Beastie Boys are almost there. The Anthrax and Public Enemy collaboration practically nailed it. But Body Count isn’t it Lately, Slivi has been fascinated by aerosol cheese in a can. Pop Rocks, Cup of Noodles, and Spam. P.S.

This would also give (he The true life of this student government comes from the students, not the officers. students an opportunity to make us aware of their concerns. I would like to see more involvement with the administrators and Lately, I felt very much exhausted after each confrontation with the current leadership of students so decisions won’t be made for us, for our benefit, without our knowledge.
