Some of the clubs that were there: Golden Key National Honor Society, Kappa Alpha Psi, Outlanders Club, Amateur Radio Club, Catholic Campus Ministries, Cypress Christian Life, Filipino Student Association, Caribbean Student Association and the College Democrats. "We're ~ere to get people interested of different races and to get participation from students," said Anderson Brooks IV, member and executive board member of the Hispanic American Student Association. "The membership is free and we hold weekly meetings for people inter­ ested."

BOB JACOBINI DAILY EGYPTIAN

(U-WIRE) CARBON- DALE, Ill. - The Williamson County State's Attorney in Illinois will seek the death penalty, and the defense may plead insanity in the trial of Steven Crutchfield, who is accused of killing So}lthem Illinois University student Michael Sasso. After several delays this. summer, the trial is now slated to begin Oct. 5 in Williamson County. Crutchfield, 30, is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in connection with the stabbing death of Sasso, 20, who was a sophomore in administra­ tion of justice. On April 3, Crutchfield allegedly broke into the home of his estranged wife, Tracie Crutchfield, where he confronted his wife and Sasso and repeated­ ly stabbed Sasso. Crutchfield was under a court order at the time to stay away from his wife and daughter. The trial was delayed during the summer when Charles Garnati, Williamson County State's Attorney, elected to seek the death penalty, and defense attorney Larry E. Broeking in tum asked for a second attorney. Broeking indicated July 14 he may rely on an insanity · defense and the testimony of Dr. David Waushuer. Waushuer was appointed to determine Crutchfield 's mental competence to stand trial and whether he was sane at the time of the killing. Because of the possible insanity defense, Garnati has requested Judge Ronald Eckiss to a appoint another clinical psy­ chologist to examine Crutchfield. September 1, 1999 Central Florida Future • 9

This poem had most of the audience blushing or giggling to relieve the extreme sexual tension she had created in the vast cafe. A newcomer followed Andrea in his first reading experience with a few self-described "sappy love poems", and was followed by Brian Halladay. Brian was indeed "representing hip hop" with his rap, which supported equality and unity. Halladay ·was accompanied by bassist Ben Blackford. If you only had to hear one poem of the whole night, Hope's performance of a poem she wrote for her baby would be the one to hear. I found myself closing my eyes throughout the presentation to hear the lyrical and musical beauty of her poem. She was accompa­ nied by pianist Harrison Light. An acoustic set was performed by Josh Brookoff, Dave + ORIGINAL TEX-MEX + Hines, and a shoeless Kris Nichols, of the band Darby and Joan. With Brookoff on mandolin, and Hines and Nichols on acoustic gui­ Restaurant & Cantina tars, the trio performed two of their own compositions, entitled "Idle Motion" and "Birth". The music seemed to share the rhythms of the presentation, fast and slow, fervent and peaceful. The night conclud­ ed with their set. After the show I had the opportunity to talk to Julian On Church St. Washington. I asked him from whom he drew his inspiration for his poems. He said that Jesus Christ and the Bible, Martin Luther King, 999-4885 Jr. and Langston Hughes were his greatest inspirational figures, although one could easily tell this by simply listening to his works. Many of his poems reflected the way he values education. (next to Pebbles) In his poem "Life in the 90 's" he warned the audience to "stay away from the drug game" and "go back to school". Washington is currently trying to get into graduate school here at UCF, but he has to take the GRE. He .isn't daunted by the idea of returning to school, thoug4. After the Game He says studying for it should be "just like any other test". Julian Washington will be reading his poetry for the gospel on September 23rd on Star95 FM.

The night did what it intended to-it pro­ vided me with a new perspective on the world through the eyes of and Specials others, and left me with lots of things to think about. It also helped me to see a mere fraction of the creative talent w~ have on campus. ,.,--
