to come and go, that
is if you made it to
class today. Here are
some things that you
can do to help pass
the time.

Make paper airplanes
and throw them off
the mezzanine in POT
or the stairwell in the
Classroom Building.
Other good paper
tricks include
footballs, uprights
and spit balls. All
three are also proven
to cause white
knuckles and red
faces in all people
that are or look like
they could be
teachers.

 

Try to recite your
presentation about
the ill effects of
unprotected sex and
alcohol while yelling
at the top of your
lungs in the free
speech area. See if
any religious types
try to stop you.

Make a list of things you
need to buy for
Christmas. Don't feel
too bad if more than
half of the items are
for you. It just means
you are a selfish.
materialistic, only
child who has
developed a
superiority complex.

Try to remember the
times when tests.
homework and finals
did not seem to
convene all at once
on your front
doorstep. This may
be easier for the
freshmen, as it was
in high school.

Happen to be near a
computer? Below are
some links that can
possibly waste some
time as you avoid
writing e-mails to the
rail editor.

Two great web sites
have recently been
discovered (someone
told me about them).
They are as follows:
www.amihotornot.com
and
www.uglypeople.com.
The first, Am l Hot or
Not is a site where
you can submit your
picture (your
friend's, an ex's, or a
mug shot of Devine
Brown) to be
critiqued by others
who happen to stop
on that exit on the
super highway of life.

Another fun one would
be
www.phonespell.org.
This nifty (did I really
just use the word
"nifty?") web site
will tell you the sorts
of words or sayings
that your phone
number can spell
using the
corresponding letters
on the key pad.

could be done to help.

The stage seemed to be (it.
yided into three parts front

made the stage look like a tun
net. This caused the stage to be
constricted anti did not remind
me ofan open Austrian hillside.
Another set piece i believe
could haye been added is the
captain's staircase. It is ofyitai
importance in the movie.
Nonetheless there was exciting
eye candy \\ ith the wedding
scene when candles anti statues
were brought in.

Barry Williams. whom
everyone knows as (ireg Brady
from “The Brady Bunch." is

misguided in his portrayal of

(‘aptain yon 'l‘rapp. The captain
is a stern. troubled soul that
should conmianil the stage.

however Williams fails to do
anything with his character. in
terms of his acting. he refuses
to open his mouth and he does
not use any body gestures. just
facial expressions. That would
be fine on television where the
cameras could focus in closely.
It doesn't work for the audience
member sitting in the second
balcony.

The next fallacy is the en
tire second act. The story about
yon 'l‘rapp and his family escap-
ing the Nazi regime has "action
sequence" written all over it.
The second act here fails to titi
lize this fact and is rushed
through. The whole courtyard
scene at the end takes a mere Slit
seconds.

in spite of many errors the
production has a few pluses.

 Time at rear for
Christmas tears!

Hundreds of
stuffed toys
accidentally
tear-gassed

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. -
Clarksville police are
working to replace
some unintended
casualties of a
tactical exercise -
about 700 stuffed
animals intended for
needy children.

The toys, donated to the
Clarksville Fire
Department, were
inadvertently
tear gassed.

They were to be handed
out this month for
Christmas.

"There was a screw-up,
and we're correcting
it," Police
Chief Lavoyed
Hudgins said.

The toys were covered
with tear gas residue
Sept. 20 when the
police’s tactical team
mistakenly tossed a
tear gas canister into
a city-owned building
during practice
maneuvers.

Police intended to use a
canister containing a
gas - similar to
pepper spray - that
would have
dissipated in the air.

The tear gas, however,
settled as dust on
the toys.

Tactical team members
spent a day salvaging
and cleaning toys.
but could not save
the stuffed animals.

Police are working with
a local retailer to
replace them.

Woman's ad
asks for
kidney; gets
over 500
responses

MADISON, Wis. — A
woman whose family
advertised for a
kidney in local
newspapers has
received a transplant
- from a cousin who
had been the flower
girl at her wedding.

University of Wisconsin
Hospital and Clinics
doctors said Sue
Johnson. 50, and her
cousin, Kim Maloney,
36, were doing fine
after their surgeries
Wednesday.

Johnson's brother.
Patrick Zelzer, had
offered a deal in the
classifieds: If
someone donated a
kidney for his sister.
Zelzer and his wife.
Jill, would each
donate a kidney
to help save two
other people.

The ad and subsequent
news stories
prompted more than
500 responses and
caught the attention
of Maloney, who had
lost touch with her
cousin since the
wedding in 1969.

"She read the article in
the paper, and she
just felt inspired by
God that she had to
do something," said
Maloney's husband.
David.

Johnson's surgeon, Dr.
Stuart Knechtle, said
the new kidney was
not a perfect match
and that it would
take three months to
determine whether
the transplant was
a success.

Johnson had her first
transplant six years
ago after lupus
damaged her kidneys.

Her new kidney failed
last Christmas.

It was apparent this
year’s gift came a
little early.

"In a statement released last Monday. New Jer-
sey's Attorney General John J. Farmer .lr. an-
nounced that the state might drop drug charges
against hundreds of motorists who say they were
pulled over because of their race.

Admitting the state's war on drugs unfairly
singled out minority drivers. the state also could
be forced to settle dozens of lawsuits filed by black
and Hispanic state troopers who allege they were
forced to practice racial profiling. Farmer said
that some criminal charges might be dropped as a
result of the investigation.

According to reports. New Jersey's top law en—
forcement officials have known that state troop-
ers were stopping a disproportionate number of
minorities in searches for drugs since at least
1989. Now attorneys are predicting that courts
will be overwhelmed with pleas to overturn drug
convictions.

However. is that really fair? It's true that
racial profiling is absolutely wrong and unconsti-
tutional. However. since people stopped by the
troopers were caught with drugs. an illegal act re-
gardless of circumstances. should the charges re-
sulting from those searches still be upheld?"

Down rails lit

by ring

Some say that journeys end with a
bang or a whimper. Nuclear war and
family vacations may perhaps fall into
these categories. but it seems that my
time here simply continues on like the
cryogenically frozen head of Walt Disney

locked into stasis.

(‘an somebody get me the hell out
of llotlge'.’

At least get me to the station where
my train will finally stop and where the
engineer will niaim and evict anyone
without tickets. i think 1 lost mine
around age five. l don‘t even tbiiik l have
a stub.

Yet i remain locked in the baggage
car: safe from inspection by a psychotic
hall director. who claims that i haven‘t
been signing people in to the train. This
is. of course. absurd. because the train is
a metaphor and requires no check-in or
quiet hours.

i feel the imminent tunnel disaster
coming as the train rushes on at break
neck speed. My face emerges from a bro-
ken window to feel an onrush of sleet. l
grin as 1 note. the possibility of total
breakdown and collapse.

Better the grand meltdown than the
slow wind into obscurity. with the train
eventually used only to carry tourists
from l)ollywood to Gatlinburg.

Surely. no train can maintain this
pace through confederate railroad tracks
that vary in width and may be blown out
around any bend.

Surely. the conductor will retire this
iron liarpy before it goes up in fire.

Through the sleet l watch Atlanta
burn as we speed past. then onwards to
Louisville. where a giant baseball bat
falls from a museum into pedestrian traf-
fic. killing five and taking out our first
class dining car

Yet the journey continues on. ..

The locomotive grinds through
swamp as it accrues rust. picking up
weed and plankton. while gear and win-
dow fall off in gradual succession. becom-
ing souvenirs along the track.

The breakdown is constantly deemed
to be impending. but never realiyed.
Bolts and belts and coal spill into the
countryside; the remaining passengers
dive out from the exit doors. using their
seats as flotation devices. before they re-
alize that the swamps are past and that
the great desert has arrived.

The exodus of structure and ”my
pant continues until only a solitary

of fire

wheel drunkenly meanders forward. on
an individual rail. as i hold on within it
in the fetal position.

The train doesn‘t crash. it only falls
apart. and there is no grand finale
in sight.

Where are my fabulous bonus prizes
for getting this fari’

No prizes. only the realiyation that
the people you came aboard with
switched trains at the last station. The
last station is gone.

The old lines have been replaced and
new routes are being imposed. You can‘t
go back to Rockville.

They say God lives along the rails. l
have no idea who said it or when. but l
am sure someone said it at some point.

Then again. who knows where the
(ireat ()ne lives. whether in steam trains
or temples of doom‘.’

i suppose the great question to be
asked is whether or not He is guiding
the tracks. as i hear the sparks fly
from them. For a long time. i would
have said no.

i would have said that God lives
only in a relic from a decrepit cathedral
in post-Christian Europe. guarded by
(‘ardinals. and perhaps the psychotic
hall director. having fled to Europe after
attacking trains.

Yet i doubt that now. There has been
something preventing my steam-powered
path from completely descending into
the maelstrom.

There has been some force keeping
the rails on a parallel course.

The force was Johnny (‘ash. who
happens to be an official agent ofGod. He
is no (‘harlton Heston anti-Christ. Oh no.

.lohnny (‘ash is a spirit guide.

Love is a burning thing. and it makes
a fiery ring.

Absolutely. When you've done wrong,
you've done wrong. It's unfair that
those people were stopped in an
unfair situation, but the fact remains
that they were breaking the law and
they should be punished.”

Meg Marquis, Kernel Columnist

It's unfair to the real casualty in this
debaclem the system of crime and
punishment. When cops cheat, crooks
win.”

Christopher Emmick, Senior Kernel Columnist

Constitutional law is broken in order
to catch someone breaking the law.
Who is the criminal?"

Joshu Goebeler, Kernel Columnist

Will this race war end if there's a 50
percent divide between whites and
minorities in prison for drug charges?
I think not. The only way to put a stop
to racial inequality is to forget that
races even exist at all... to think of all
people the same way: As people. But
people just enjoy bitching over details
too much to enjoy peace."

Kevin Clapp, Kernel Cartoonist

Releasing these drug offenders isn’t
any more unfair than the many New
Jersey drug users who went uncaught
simply because they‘re white."

Andrew Grossman, Assistant Dialogue Editor

There’s no doubt that the practices of
the troopers were unfair, racist and
unconstitutional. But what are the
authorities supposed to dry— ignore
these crimes just because they were

committed by victims of racial
profiling?”
