PORTLAND, Ore. — Her hands trem-
bling and her voice strained, Tonya Hard-
ing admitted yesterday that she failed to
come forward with what she learned after
the attack on Nancy Kern'gan, but pleaded
not to be denied “my last chance" at an
Olympic gold medal.

The US. Olympic Committee said it was
“deeply concerned“ about Harding‘s admis-
sion.

The committee and the US. Figure Skat-
ing Association have said Harding could be
removed from the team if she is linked to
the attack.

“1 had no prior knowledge of the planned
assault on Nancy Kerrigan," Harding said.

“I am responsible, however. for failing to

report things I learned about the assault
when I returned home from nationals.

“Many of you will be unable to forgive
me for that. It will be difficult for me to for-
give myself."

Her statement came as her ex-busband.
Jeff Gillooly, spoke to investigators for the
second consecutive day in what a source
said was an attempt to cut a deal in ex-
change for implicating Harding in the Jan. 6
attack.

Harvey Schiller, executive director of the
USOC, issued a statement saying the organ-
ization “is deeply concerned with state-
ments made today by Tonya Harding rela-
tive to her stated knowledge of the attack
on Nancy Kem‘gan at the national champi-
onships.“

With the fall of communism and bur-
geoning democracies in Fastem Europe.
the United States is “on the verge of a new

Marines said yesterday.

Marines Corps. who spoke toga. group of
ROTC cadets and others at the Student
Center Theatre.

“It is the end of one world and the begin-
ning of another." he said.

Because of the rapidly changing political
climate and the role smaller countries are
beginning to play in the intemational scene,
leaders in the United States now must make
sure that the public realizes the changes
that are in store for the US. military and
the world.

Mundy's speech, “New Challenges to
America’s Defense: A Marine Perspec-
tive," was the first of five lectures in the
“Joint Chiefs of Staff Series."

Department of Defense plans call for rig-
id cuts in defense spending. The 1994 bud-
get has declined for the fourth year in a
row. By 1997, Mundy predicted, there will
be the lowest number of men and women in
uniform since 1944.

The UK Gym Cats are hoping to turn in
Grade A performances the rest of the season af-
ter a recent lesson in Chemistry 101.

With five freshman on this year’s squad. the
team struggled in the beginning of the year to
mesh as a unit, much to coach Leah Little's con-
cern. But as team members have learned one an-
other, they are slowly coalescing.

“At the beginning of the year, Leah was say-

NCAA Championships last year, features three

UK (0-2, 0-1 in the Southeastern Conference)
held tough in Tuscaloosa last year before falling
19535-18890. The Cats were perhaps able to
sneak up on the Tide with Hansen competing in
just her third college meet.

And as the Cats‘ chemistry improves. so too
will their potency.

“With the freshmen getting more exposure and
more experience under their belt, we‘re bound to
improve," Ewing said.

Lately, rock-oriented instrumen-
tal albums have become so com-
monplace that, except for the occa-
sional Joe Satriani or Jeff Beck
release, no one really pays attention
to the innumerable guitar virtuosos
that seem to permeate the market
every year.

It seems that every week, a new
fret- -master guitar god of the future
tries to reinvent the six suing, only
to fall into that growing oblivion of
shredders who always seem to end
up in the $2.99 section at the local
record joint.

However, while guitar records
are a dime a dozen its still pretty
uncommon for some struggling art-
ist to release an instrumental album
focusing on any insuument other
than the guitar.

A few people have attempted in
the past and havent been totally
unsuccessful

It is, however, an uphill battle for
a genre of albums that doesn’t usu—
ally attract a huge mainstream audi-
ence.

Michael Manring s latest release
lhonk, is an attempt to focus away
from the guitarist and instead onto
the bassist.

Actually, this
isn't as unusual as
it may sound. Al-
though there is a
shortage of bass in-
strumental albums
out there, many

could have been a chance to explore
the creative aspects of the bass gui-
tar into just another run-of-the-mill
guitar (TI).

The main impression Manring
leaves the listener with is that of a
bassist who wants to be a guitarist.

Surrounding himself with celebri-
ty guitarists it seems impossible for
Manring not to fall into this trap.

who recently has completed work
with such guitarists as George

The album also includes numerous
guests appearances from guitar gu-
ms Steve Morse and err-Testament
player Alex Skolnick.

The mistake Manring dwells on
throughout his album, however, is
his processing of the bass through a
ton of effects, giving the instrument
a total guitar sound.

What Manring does with the bass
is amazing, but what is the point of
playing the bass if only to imitate a
guitar?

Mozart ’s musical merrily
meanders through love

 

 

By Matt DoFoor
Staff Critic

 

The plot line runs like a soap op—
era: who is cheating whom, who is
in love with whom and, finally,
who is impersonating the rest. But
the music is all classical.

Welcome to Mozart’s beautifully
human love story of lust, jealousy
and intrigue, “The Marriage of Fig-

When first performed at the Na-
tional Theater In Vienna on May I
1786. “The Maniage of Figaro"
probably seemed just as it does to-
day: a comical farce of love and
courtly intrigue.

But it has become more than that.
It is a classic opera with complex
characters and possibly one of Mo-
zart‘s most famous scores.

Figaro and Susanna are to be
married, but the Count has different
ideas.

The Count plans to take Susanna
as his own on her wedding night
Figaro leams of this and plans re-
venge against his lord. the Count.

Meanwhile, Cherubino, an ado-
lescent boy who has a crush on the
Countess, is commissioned to the
my by the fiercely jealous Count
Maroellina, the old housemaid,
soon enters the picture and plots to
stake a claim for Figaro.

As the plot twists and tums, the
absurd situations that the characters
find themselves in only becomes
more comical.

Director Michael Ehnnann and
the cast succeed in making Mo-
zart's most famous opera funny,
without assaulting the audience

ment’s sound onto another instru-
ment. Therefore, Manring's imita-
tions are totally unirnpressive on
tracks like “Big Fungus" and “You
Offered Only Parabolas."

Manring does deliver a study into
the deep and captivating sounds of
the true bass on “Monkey Business-
man," “Adhan” and the beautifully
crafted “The Enormous Room ”

“My Three Moons" is an exercise
in tapping, arpeggiation and very
impressive melodies that prove that
Manring is indeed a gifted song-
writer when he’ s not trying to daz-
zle his audience with special sound
effects.

Thank is an interesting instru-
mental album, whether it be en-
joyed for the guitar or the bass. It
does seem to offer impressive per-
formances of both instruments, al-
though I don't think Manring in-
tended for it to be that way.

What Manring needs to do is re-
alize that the bass is an interesting
and dimensional enough of an in-
strument that it doesn’ t need to be
turned into a guitar.

This points to the thought that
maybe this talented bassist needs to
get back to the basics of his instru-
ment.
