The Guatemala Experience from the eyes of students

In last week's issue of the Sandspur ran an article about the Guatemala/Jamaica experience offered as a course over January term through Campus Minis­ try. Under the auspices of a course entitled "Serving in the Third World", a total of thirty-six students experienced firsthand the difficulties and, ultimately, the rewards, of serving humankind. This week we are privileged to run excerpts from students who served in Guatemala. In a future issue, we will share the experiences from Jamaica. These students helped build a community center in a village several hours away from Guatemala City. Anyone interested in future trips or Campus Ministry in general should feel free to contact Dean Wettstein of the Chapel or John Langfitt at Sullivan House. The following is an excerpt from the group journal of some of the students who worked in Guatemala over the January Term.

Lastnight, I was determined to get a table at the Outback Steakhouse. Last Thursday, I gave up due to a 45 minute wait. No matter what day of the week, the Outback is hopping. When I walked through the front door, I recognized the hostess; after telling us that it would be at least an hour wait, she advised us to watch the bar area for checks on tables. Logically, checks on tables indicate a nearing departure of customers. We were on the look-out and the instant a table cleared we sat down; I must say that luck was on my side for we ended up with a cozy mini-booth in a corner. The Outback atmosphere attempts to emulate the Australian surroundings in its earth tones; I, personally love wooden furniture and wooden floors, so I was more than pleased with the decor. The seats of our booth were extremely comfortable; I didn't find myself too far from the table as I often do in boothes that have not been made with comfort in mind. Up to now, this establishment was scoring high. The comfortable interior of the Outback Steakhouse photo by John Dukes please see Back page 16 MUSIC FOOD BOOKS THEATRE

After their debut album in 1990 and Baddax at the Sunburst Pub the popular single "Pure", it seemed as though the cute sound they mastered would soon become 2-26-92 Rein Sanction with Drain Pipe at the Beach Club commonplace. But on the contrary, their new album, Sense, is remarkable. Not only does it recapture the 2-27-92 Dogs on Ice and Potential Frenzy at Below Zero quaintness of their debut release, but it also broadens the 2-20-92 Swarm Face and Anderson Council at the Magic Wok scope of their sound. The first two songs on the album 2-29-92 Beatnik Party at the Magic Wok show this quite clearly. "Sense" is a nice upbeat track (that has a beat that almost sounds sampled!) and "The U2 and the Pixies at the Lakeland Civic Center Life of Riley" is an intensely happy danceable (yes, 3-13-92 Ice-T with Body Count at Visage danceable) song that you can't help but smile to. Another 3-14-92 Maybe For Morning and Shock Lizard at the Magic Wok interesting difference that is quite noticeable on these two songs as well as others on the album is the use of piano--it plays a big role on this album in giving it that "broadened" sound. The Lightning Seeds also pursue new styles in their guitar sound, namely on "Blowing Bubbles "and "Marooned". Another thing that is quite WPRK Top 10 noticeable (I mentioned it above) is the sound of almost sampled drum patterns, which occurs on "Sense", "A Small Slice of Heaven", and "Happy". The drums on this 1. Red Hot Chili Peppers Bloodsugarsexmajik album are brought forth more, and it gives the a new tangent of sound to the album . Lead singer Ian Broudie 2. Pearl Jam Ten once again pulls through in giving us insightful and 3. Coffin Break No Sleep Til the Stardust Motel intense lyrics; those lyrics that are filled with sensual 4. Live Mental Jewelry ambiguous imagery and rich detail. Some of the songs on this album remind me of the first, especially with their "cute" and nice sound: "A Cool Place", 'Tingle Tangle", and 'Thinking Up Looking Down". Overall, 5. Pixies Trompe Le Monde this album is more than a pleasure to listen to, and it's neat to hear how the Lightning Seeds have grown 6. Jonathon Richman Having a Party with Jonathon... over the past year. A word to new fans: you will appreciate this album for its simplicity and its happiness. 7. Delerium Euphoric A word to old fans: don't hesitate to check this album out—I'm sure you'll be pleased, if not intrigued by the slightly new sound. 8. Lush Spooky 9. Depeche Mode Box Sets 1-3 QUADROPHONIA COZMIC JAM (RCA/BMG records): 10. Ned's Atomic Dustbin God Fodder Well, what can I say? For those of you who are unaware of who Quadrophonia are, go to any club and you will hear them. Listen to any club commercial on the radio and they will use one of their songs. Quadrophonia have quickly become one of the most important acts in the techno club scene, and they have Top 5 Cuts gained a big following. Their catchy repetitive hard keyboard noises have become popular dancefloor attractions, and many people love the singles they have released thus far. Well, I really liked the stuff they have 1. Red Hot Chili Peppers "Sir Psycho Sexy" released so far also. However, their debut album, Cozmic 2. Pearl Jam "Alive" Jam, is something that kind of disappointed me. The first 3. Coffin Break "Freebird" song (of course) is "Quadrophonia", and it kicks the album off to a great start. "The Man with theMasterplan" 4. Lush "For Love" is a pretty good second song, that it still quite danceable. 5. Ned's Atomic Dustbin "Kill Your Television" However, by the third song, the music becomes a little boring. "Hardhead" and "Find the Time (Part I)" both seem just "less" than powerful. The next song, "Schizofrenia—The Worst Day of My Life" starts out promising, but then fails because the beat is the same as \(F "Quadrophonia", and the bass line is so weak. All it is is ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX a lot of samples and simple keybo ard lines. The following 5100JWANSONST. track is 'The Wave of the Future", which many of you clubbers know. This song is great. "Original Statement", PHONE: 629-4779 "Find the Time (Part II)", and 'Theme of Quadrophonia" are three final tracks that just don'thave the power of the J Doors open at 8:00pm singles. The album on a whole appears to be more mellow than anything else. Sure it's upbeat, but the keyboards aren't as hard as the wonderful "Quadrophonia". Another downfall of the album is the annoying rapping that goes on during the songs. I think "Quadrophonia" TUESDAY NITE and 'The Wave of the Future" both deserve the rap, because they are hard dance pieces. But the other songs WEDNESDAY NITE are just too mellow. The raps almost ruin the peace of the keybords. I know I normally don't critique an Ladies it's the RESURRECTION album, but I couldn't help but do it to this one. I had been looking so forward to having Cozmic Jam released All American Male Best in Progressive and after hearing it, I was quite saddened.

Erl spit on the ground, and with one hand, waved the gun in the direction of the horse. I heard a loud bang, and the horse keeled over. Erl had never even sighted the gun, and took us all by surprise. I ran over to the horse, certain that it must have been really hurting after the fall, but I soon saw Erl had gotten her right between the eyes. He knew it, too. He walked over and fired three more rounds at point blank into the head, but that was just to satisfy my sisters. He and I both knew the horse had never felt a thing after the first shot.

We did, and then Erl fastened it around the horse's back legs. He backed up his truck, attached the chain to his bumper and headed off around a big hill in the distance, a cloud of dust behind him.
