October 26, 2000 Whittier College • NEWS • Quaker Campus FORUM continued from page 1 Neilsen applauded the display of the most recent fliers. "I wish I would have thought of it," Neils­ en said. "I wanted to stop people from being apathetic and fo get them pissed off. This might get people aware." Nass agreed that an end to apathy was more important than any bureaucratic objective. Point­ ing at the Code of Conduct— which restricts COR members from making negative comments about the organization in any cam­ pus publication—hanging on the COR office door, he commented, "That's the kind of thing that turned Berkeley into a riot in the '60s. Here, no one does anything about it." Nass and Neilsen hope that both sets of fliers inspire students to attend the forum. "Hopefully it will draw more people to the fo­ rum and get a more diverse group," Nass said. "We want more of a dialogue than just people com­ plaining." Nass made the same argument to COR at their meet­ ing. Because Nass left his name with mailroom staff prior to stuff­ ing the student mailboxes, he was not in violation of any College policy. Students posting fliers on campus must identify themselves. If the group decides to pro­ ceed with the process to remove Collard from office—technically a "recall" process—they will have to obtain the signatures of at least 15 percent of the student body in a petition, which will be submit­ ted to Dean of Students Dave Le­ onard. An election would be held, and two-thirds of at least 30 per­ cent of the student body would have to vote to remove Collard.

Whittier College Associated Students of Whittier College & The Council of Representatives Whittier, CA 90608 Phone (562) 907-4876 • Fax (562) 464-4576

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT m A !• fp| i mk pi |u isi • m JJ-A: As President of the Associated Students of Whittier College, I feel it is important to respond to the flyer that was placed in student boxes on Monday, October 23rd. I realize that members who were once on COR and students currently outside of COR might not understand the necessary changes that have taken place since January 2000. Prior to the 2000 Executive Council taking office, members of COR were not required to uphold their office hours. The office hour requirement was instituted into the ASWC constitution to make COR members accessible to students. Unfortunately, we had an office that was uninhabitable for COR members and the students that they were elected to serve. With the dawn of a new COR taking office, we took an active stance that the office hours needed to be put back into action. In order for us empower the body we needed to first provide a face-lift to the dilapidated office. After five extensive days over the winter break, Vince, Vincent and I, moved furniture and painted over the brown and green walls. The Executive Council worked to provide an atmosphere that would improve the image of COR to the existing members and the student body. We now have a student government that has office hours to make members available to their constituencies and an office where members can work to provide you better representation. I challenge members of this community to take the "duct tape off' and start talking to your elected members of COR! I realize that many of you have read the QC editorial on October 12th and hope that a protest, riot or criminal act will get you front page coverage. However, if you want to exact change in the body of COR, I invite you to take a proactive route and communicate with the people that you elected to do a job. In closing, I have taken a stance to hold members of COR to a new standard, your elected and appointed officials for the first time are being held accountable for their actions both internally and externally. Some of our past colleagues have fallen because of the new standards that were implemented. Last week COR published our Fall 2000 office hours in the Quaker Campus, instead of taking divisive and vindictive means to call for change, I encourage all members of the ASWC to utilize this time to inform us of your questions, concerns, and needs.

• Soul Coughing, Ruby Vroom Warner Brothers Music

Musician Michael Doughty is a very, very strange, albeit abso­ lutely brilliant man. With lyrics that couldn't make sense if they tried, Soul Coughing creates something resembling "Deep Slack­ er Jazz"—which is what Doughty himself tacked onto his music of Carl Orff in an attempt to explain it. Ruby Vroom was the first profession­ ally released album Soul Coughing ever produced, and it's been something of a cult favorite ever since. Maybe it's because of the clandestine messages of satanism liberally placed throughout the CARMINA BURANA songs, or because every song has some kind of story behind it. For instance, the title of the album itself is a band member's mispro­ nunciation of the name of the director's daughter, Ruby Froom. These stories are all available at the web site www.soulcoughing.com, remarkably still being updated two performed by years after the breakup of the band. But the ideas behind the songs and the songs themselves are two very different things. Thankful­ ly, in Soul Coughing's case, different is not a bad thing. They're both polar opposites. Soul Coughing, like other contemporary Chorale Bel Canto avant-garde bands, can shift genres mid-album, and even mid- song. It's rare to see a band produce an album with so many & the Rio Hondo Symphony completely different, but completely good songs. Soul Cough­ ing's an incredible band, and Ruby Vroom is an incredible album. If you don't listen to this album at least once, you have only Students, Faculty yourself to blame. (Andrew Hurder) October 28th & Staff • Thirstin Howl III, Skillionaire 8:00 pm Skillionaire Records $5.00 It's difficult to describe Thirstin Howl Ill's debut album. He is a self-described Puerto Rican rapper/ thief with a sick Polo gear Box Office (562) 907-4203 obsession. It is debatable whether his album is even an album at all, seeing that there are many tracks on the CD which don't seem to be songs or interludes, and most of his beats are blatantly bitten }rtisement-c. from more notable rap artists. What Thirstin lacks in cohesive- ness and originality, he makes up for with original and extremely humorous lyrics. On "Still Live With My Moms," Thirstin speaks about the ups and downs of the anti-jiggy life at his mother's home with such skill you'll likely forget he's rhyming the beat to LL Cool J's "Big Ole Butt." Another beat-jacked song, "Keep On Cluckin" is dedicated to all of the ugly girls Thirstin has been involved with. Songs like these will keep the listener in stitches while original songs like "Brooklyn Hard Rock" showcases Thirstin's innovative metaphors and similes. The best song, however, is a twisted tale of Thirstin's thieving antics entitled "John They're Stealing," highlighted by a vocal sample of an old woman screaming the song's title throughout the track. Thirstin Howl III definitely won't appeal to every hip-hop fan, but if you can find it {Skillionaire is only carried by independent retailers), I suggest you buy it, throw it in your CD player, and just laugh.

• Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek, Reflection Eternal Rawkus Records

Considering the state of rap music today, one seriously has to wonder how a rapper like Talib Kweli has survived. Although Kwela has a mind-boggling amount of lyrical talent, he chooses to use it to promote positivism and social consciousness instead exploring the fine arts of degrading women and bragging about his own rhyming skills. To make matters even worse, Kweli has chosen to work exclusively with one producer. This producer is Presidential Elections 200 a DJ from Cincinnati that has been listening to a few too many old • Facilitated by" Professor Bergeron jazz records and A Tribe Called Quest albums to produce any song that will make it to the strip clubs. The result of this collaboration is a masterpiece entitled Reflection Eternal. Kweli manages not only to continue but also push the envelope on the positive, Native Tongue vibe that has quietly been seeping though hip-hop the past couple of years by focusing all of his Thursday; Nov: 2, 2000 energy on keeping the album cohesive, a notion that seems all but lost in modern rap music. Kweli's philosophical messages shine brightest in soft, dedicational joints like "For Women," yet also Garrett MousePat 7:^6 pun. carry through to dance-floor joints like "Move Somethin," where Kweli shouts out to his revolutionaries. Partner DJ Hi-Tek doesn't rhyme, but represents by laying down minimalist, jazzy instrumentals that allow the listener to focus on Kweli's lyrics while still generating something artistic and beautiful to take in.
