It would surprise no one that the Dead Milkmen owe their existence to fiction. The band's history sprung from the pages of a newsletter. "Originally the band ex- isted as a story. We took the names of the people in the story and that's how it happened", says Rodney Anonymous (a.k.a. Arr. Trad.) "1 started a newsletter with my friends, eventually Rodney joined and it evolved from doing weird things, being bored around the house",says Butterfly Purple Haze Fairweather. Though the names have been changed several times to protect the innocent (as the story goes), the band could ne.ver get along. In real life however, The Milkmen page 11 do get along. They wanted to preserve the history of the band, so they keep changing their names or their characters names.

The newsletters still come out, hut it's become "truthful and boring," says Butterfly. RESERVE OFFICERS' TRAINING CORPS He says that the mailing list is too long to really do anything. Maybe they should let their music speak for itself. Butterfly says about their music, "I want the music not to be enjoyed as serious mu- sic, but as a satire. As serious as it needs to be. It is making fun of alternative music. It is an alternative to alternative music." Indeed the music is not mainstream. On the album Not Richard, the songs are so off the wall, that there might have to be a miracle for it to be played on mainstream radio. "I think it would be very funny if the music ever went mainstream," says Fairweather. With song titles such as "Let's Get the Baby High," (which presents an ar- gument between an idiotic woman who gets a kick from forcing her infant to huff gas fumes and her friend who re- fuses to let the woman get the baby high in his house) " I Dream of Jesus" (about a teen- ager whose mother finds Jesus trapped in a bottle of Manischewitz and subse- quently becomes a pop-media sensation). Several of the other songs from Not Richard are about psychosis, ("Not Crazy" , "Leggo My Ego" ( a Freudian play on words), "Jason's Head", "Woman Who is also a Mongoose"(which kind of speaks for itself) and "Nobody Falls Like.")

The Economics of the Citibank Classic Visa card. How no annual fee, student discounts and Price Protection create upward growth. A variety of factors have been suggested as contributing to the economic growth of students, including (1) more lottery winners between the ages of 18 and 22, (2) a 37% increase on earnings from bottle and can returns, (3) more students doubling earnings in the lightning round of game shows, and (4) the Citibank Classic Visa® card. It's this last one, however, that affects most students. H The Citibank Classic Visa card offers immediate savings to student cardmembers. You can now receive the Citibank Classic card with No Annual Fee. You can capitalize on a $20 Airfare Discount for domestic flights,' a low variable interest rate of 15.4%' as well as savings on mail order purchases, sports equipment, music and magazines. One might even have enough savings to reinvest in a CD or two (the musical kind, of course). 10n the way to the record

Carrying it can help prevent fraud or any hostile takeover of your card. (Insiders speculate that it makes quite a good student ID, too.) Even if one's card is stolen, or perhaps lost, The Lost Wallet"" Service can replace your card usually within 24 hours. H So never panic. As we all know, panic, such as in the Great Panics of 1837,1857 and 1929 can cause a downswing in a market. But with 24-hour Customer Service, there's no reason for it. A question about your account is only an 800 number away. (Panic of the sort experienced the night before Finals is something else again.) H Needless to say, building a credit history with the support of such services can only be a boost. You're investing in futures-that future house, that future car, etc. And knowing the Citibank Classic Visa card is there in your wallet should presently give you a sense of security, rare in today's-how shall we say?-fickle market. H To apply, call. Students don't need a job or a cosigner. And call if you'd simply like your photo added to your regular Citibank Classic Visa card. Here's the number: 1-800-CITIBANK, extension 19. (1-800-248-4226). H The Law of Student TBAN<® Supply and Demand states, "If a credit card satisfies more of a student's unlimited wants and needs, while reducing the Risk Factor in respect to limited and often scarce mas*?*'!** resources—with the greatest supply of services vm and savings possible—then students will demand said credit card." So, demand away—call. Not just Visa. Citibank Visa.
