While I totally understand the need for control of the use of printers and the use of them for non-class related printing, I believe thought should be given to a better sys­ tem rather than 10 cents a page as a blanket policy. There are classes where a lot of the course work is articles and stories downloaded from the Internet.As a parent who sup­ ports the school with tuition and fundraisers, I think it would serve to have someone canvas students and find out what amount of printing is for necessary classwork. Then a fair price should be put on those items, and abuse of non-school-related printing may diminish. This type of .canvas could be handled by a work study job. I also realize this may not be a sensible endeavor to canvas users, but perhaps having professors submit some sort of documentation as to their class requirements for Internet material would be the answer. Just a thought.

Before each issue, after I've chosen the albums to be reviewed I will play them for six other people. The seven of us will basically sit on my couch and listen to the new CD, then we'll give it the thumbs up or thumbs down and talk about what we did or didn't like about it.

The music is upbeat punk with that deep almost screaming vocals present on a lot of the tracks. Instrumentally, Hot Water Music is similar to bands like New Found Glory or the Ramones, but lyrically I would not compare them to either of those.

Caution will be their second on the major label Epitaph. You can see them on the 2000 warp tour or at one of their many hometown Gainesville-area shows. The most interesting thing about Hot Water Music is their attitude toward the music they are making, something uncharacteristic of a Florida band. You would expect the same hard-hitting rock as many other Florida bands produce, but instead Hot Water Music seems to be embracing influences from many other music sources and providing a more diverse sound. That may come from the amount of time they spend on the road. Jason Black (bass) describes the bands life on the road. sible.
