Registration Trials Tribulations by David Shaffer irst you spend hours of time going over the catalog. Then you make an appointment to see an advisor, who then tells you that YOU have everything all wrong. (Great, now he has to tell you!) So he, or she, very graciously helps you get everything straightened out (on paper at least it seems O.K.), and where do they next send you? To a com- fortable place of security? Absolutely not! Let me try to explain. Just go over ... take my advice and look out. You enter a huge room, otherwise known as the cafeteria, and believe me it is the exact opposite of a place of security. They are brutal there. Stand here, make this out, fill out this form, go to that computer, stand in that line. | give up. It is a battle, but you can b e successful if you follow a few simple rules, (or guidelines if you want it put less confining). 1. Stay calm 2. Try to do what you are told, calmly. 3. If all else fails, PRAY. 4. Make the forms out, you’re going to have to anyway! 5. Again, stay calm. For your own good, no one else’s. All in all, it is a temporary pain that will pass, until next semes- ter. Nikki Hambalek One last thing, be sure, and | mean sure, get your car vali- dated for parking OR you will pay a price you really would rather not. J. J. Young Jr 10 Campus Life

Doc Severinsen Heart Soul by David Shaffer an operating room for 2 hours. As the Electrocardio- gram “spiked,” Jazz, and Doc Severinsen, came alive! While the sounds of rock and jazz became one, its rhythm reached out to you and pulled you inside where your own heartbeat could match up with that of the band. It was clear that this concert was reaching across the ages as people from seven to seventy became lost in the sounds. Doc’s mastery of his instrument became clear as he played the song that embodied the spirit of his band, Xebron, an imagi- nary place where anyone can go to forget their worries, that proved true as everyone forgot time and space and basked in the heat of music. Doc was one of us as he spoke between the tunes, funny and friendly. A man we learned to like very quickly. With all pizzazz possible, he captured us for that brief time. Xebron consisted of four members, Tim Rizzo on guitar, Jeff DeAngelo on bass, Richard Aims at the drums. Both Jeff and Ron were in the spot light as solo artists in their own right. Jeff played a composition of his own, ‘“Ankles’” and Ron wowed us with a drum solo that must have rocked the street lights down- town. It was hot music alright, but music that made you feel like you belonged. Doc held us for that moment. True, it was just a moment, but a great one. One we won't soon forget. And with a drop of his hand, the “Doc,’”’ was gone. OC) n Thursday, Oct. 24, the Student Center Gym became David Shatter David Shatfer David Shaffer 12 Campus Life
