Dean Farmer to Leave School of Business Longwood Student ALLYSON BLAKE Features Editor
At the end of this semester, Longwood will lose one of its most distinguished faculty members.Berkwood Fanner, Dean of the School of Business, has decided to take a job at Wrights State University in Dayton, Ohio after ten years here at Longwood. Dean Fanner was one of 150 applicants asked to apply for the position of the Dean of the Raj Sion College of Business and Administration. He was chosen to take the job and had this to say as to why he decided to take it. "It's a large urban university with an excellent opportunity for the business college to become actively involved in the business community in the state of Ohio. It was also an opportunity to expand graduate study programs in conjunction with the Medical College and Engineering College at Wrights State University."
As the Dean of Longwood's School of Business since 1991, Dean Fanner has seen the school of business accomplish many things including becoming AACSB accredited. "Only 25% of the business schools in the United States have this distinction," Farmer says. He. has also seen the business program gain many strengths since 1991. "The program has developed a distinct vision and mission. It is also supported with clear values. These values are the continuous quality improvement and the proficiency of students in computer and communication skills as well as team and leadership skills. This program also has probably the best internship program of any school in the country. Also when students graduate, they have many high paying job opportunities," Fanner says. While the program itself has many strengths, it would not have gotten to where it was without the faculty and the three busi-
ness boards. "The school of business has a faculty that is as good or better than any undergraduate school in the country could have. The school also has three strong and effective boards. The corporate advisory board, dean's student advisory board, and alumni advisory board are all key in developing and carrying out the school's mission," Fanner says. When he leaves at the end of the semester. Farmer said he will miss "the close association and work with the students in the school of business" the most Although he is leaving. Farmer feels confident about the future of Longwood's School of Business. "The total visibility and quality of the business school has increased tremendously and the business community in Virginia now knows that the business school at Longwood is alive and well and getting better everyday."

No More Dead Air National Public Radio (NPR) programming is on the air in Farmville and the surrounding region thanks to a partnership between Longwood College's WLCX (91.3 FM) and James Madison University's WMRA. "Morning Edition," "All Things Considered," "Car Talk," and classical music can be heard over WLCX in a time-sharing arrangement that allows Longwood College students to continue their part-time operation of the station. When students are not programming WLCX, they will simply switch the transmitter over to relay the programming of WMRA from Harrisonburg. "For years, we've been receiving requests from Farmville
for a better signal," said WMRA General Manager Tom DuVal. "One person had wires strung around his living room, much to his wife's dismay. We knew people really wanted to hear NPR news and classical music." This partnership provides a 24-hour scedule for WLCX, to complement its recent power upgrade, and satisfies the desire of many residents for NPR programming The community will benefit from the increased services of a larger coverage area, more variety of programming, and a full-time scedule. During the academic year, WMRA's programs generally

Student Responds to Activist Column:
"Wanna-Be Activist Should Activate Common Sense" I would like to respond to Danielle Pezold's column "Former Coke-head Snorts at Constitution." While I am sure she found her title witty, I would like to site that president George "Dubya" Bush is not nearly as delinquent as Mr. Clinton was. If Danielle would like to criticize the manner in which we elect our president than please do it with common sense. Danielle says, "I am planning to pay my taxes come April 15, as I do feel that I cast my vote in one of the remaining 49 states of democracy." I hope she realizes that our electoral college has a purpose and is not as flawed as some might claim. Out of 52 elections, we have only had the popular vote differ from the electoral vote three times. One might say this discrepancy should not happen at all, but as Winston Churchill said, "nobody pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise." For over two hundred years, people have paid their taxes and continued to vote without receiving the president they wanted just like Danielle. She complains of Dubya's executive order revoking federal funding to international groups that provide abortions and abortion counseling lo women. Bush
did send a signal: the U.S. will no longer waste pro-choice AND pro-life taxpayer money to such international groups. This is the people's money. I am sure, as a taxpayer, Danielle would find it unfair to have her money wasted on something she strongly opposes. Moreover, here is a wake-up call for this aspiring writer: George W. Bush is a conservative! Is it any surprise he does not advocate abortion? Amongst the number of invalid arguments Danielle makes, her comment on Secretary of the Interior Gail Norton is the most eccentric. She states that an environmentalist chairman claimed Dubya's appointment of Norton as "the end of environmentalism as we know it." This quote, in addition to Danielle's follow-up, "I believe he could have very well been speaking of democracy," is absentminded. It is a desperate attempt by Danielle to enrage her readers and impose her own foolish beliefs. She also whines about the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (OFBCI), the difference between this order and her botched interpretation is that it does not directly endorse Christianity, Judaism, Islam, or any other religion. The executive orders allow faith-based AND non-faith-based
organizations greater access to a pool of 10 billion dollars to deal with social issues. Steve Goldsmith, a board member of the Corporation for National Service (an agency created by then president Bill Clinton promoting volunteerism) said, "(the OFBCI is] not an office that believes that we should tilt toward religion, but it's an office that believes that we should remove the obstacles for faith-based organizations..." Dubya has not tipped the walls of separation between church and state as Danielle charges. The real problem is in people like Danielle who choose to activate slippery-slope arguments to unecessarily strike fear into people. Danielle, if you are acquiring your facts primarily from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and Saturday Night Live, then you are in the dark. It would serve you well turn off the television and read to acquire your facts. While I admire your conviction and passion, I find the twisting of facts and scare tactics that you employ very childish. Furthermore, it is an irresponsible fabrication to insist that our democracy is in danger in the hands of President George W. Bush. It is in better hands than it has been or could have been. -Anthony Rivera

MTV is an Oxymoron ROYAYRES Staff Writer I have a problem with MTV and have had one for several years now. My problem with MTV is that it sucks. It's a worthless channel and offers absolutely nothing entertaining. Well, to be honest, Beavis & Bullhead. Jackass, and The Tom Green Show are exceptions. Since Comedy Central has programs that deal with what the name implies, shouldn't MTV do the same? Occasionally they DO show music videos, but the videos they show are utter crap. How many times can someone watch videos from N'SYNC. Britney Spears, and the myriad R&B/rap acts there seem to be? MTV seems to think that there are only three or four musical genres out there. They've only recently started playing some more rock videos, but even some
of these bands aren't very good. Take Creed for example. I know, a lot of you like Creed, but I don't. And there are other people out there that don't subscribe to the bulk of the commercial crap that MTV constantly bombards us with. MTV isn't being considerate to the rest of America, and they somewhat realize it because they created MTV2, which from what I understand plays nothing but videos 24/7. That's nice! I think when I go home Til turn it on and jam out to some of my favorite bands but ...OH YEAH! I forgot, I don't own a satellite dish. Let*s face it, MTV just plain sucks and they need to change their name to PCTV: Pop Culture Television. They are only catering to a small group of people and are telling everyone else to go to Hell. Personally, I could give a damn about 7 snotty assholes liv-
ing in a house and what other college students are doing in Florida during Spring Break. I don't care about that crap. What I care about is seeing videos from my favorite bands, but that doesn't happen very much now. If you really wanna see videos, you have to stay up til 3:00 a.m. and even then their selection isn't very good. With a channel called Music Television, you'd think they'd play music. That's what could save MTV: playing music videos. And not just the latest ripoff of a famous song from Puff Daddy. Play rap if you want, but also play rock, metal, blues, jazz, classical, bluegrass, polka, African tribal music, Ukrainian folk music, Southeast Asian ragtime, ANYTHING! For crying out loud, CTN has a better video catalog than MTV does! Thai's really sad.
Bits from Brains and Brawn Dear BAB, Valentines Day is coming up and I'm in the early stages of a relationship. What can I do to impress her without overwhelming her? ■Timid Romeo Brains says: First of all, avoid contrite tokens of affection: red roses, candlelight dinner, the "teddy bear I just bought while I was at Walmart" stuff. You'll look like you're trying too hard and she'll get scared, even if it seems like she appreciates your gesture. I suggest casual and fun.
If you're staying local, take her to dinner at Macado's or Charlie's. Just make sure to keep it relaxed! If you want to get her flowers, try a bouquet of wildflowers in a funky vase. But please, no 14 K gold! Save that for your first anniversary. Brawn says: As a chivalrous man, I suggest you follow the traditional approach and do something nice, romantic, original, and unexpected and at the end kiss her so passionately that her thong melts. As a man that has studied the confounding female gender, I contend that a modern woman
will consider you weak for doing something nice. I suggest you get a dozen roses, with thorns, stroll up and hit her like you're swinging a Louisville slugger. As she lies among the strewn rose pedals, kick her in the ribs and tell her to be ready at 8. Remember, nice guys finish last. *Longwood students This will be a weekly column, composed by students to advise fellow students. Neither the writers nor the Rotunda accept responsibility for advise.

Verbal Diarrhea ROYAYRES Staff Writer Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you were in prehistoric times, in a community of only a handful of people, all trying to etch out a meager existence amongst the wilds of Earth? What would it be like? First off, you're name wouldn't be Bill or Doug or Melanie; it'd probably be Thag, Murg, or Dooniki. Okay, for the sake of argument, you're name is Murg and you are part of a 50-pcrson tribe. You all have been run out of your cave by the Nomadic Smelly Guys. Now you have to And a new cave to live in. You begin searching and find one that looks good, but it turns out that it's populated by a family of bears. There goes about five members of your tribe. Okay, now yon have 45 tribespeople and continue to look for a cave. You search some more and find one that's good, but this one is full of poisonous insects. You think 'hey, we can tough h.' However, after a law days yon decide to pack up after 8 tribespeople die in their sleep and now have bhemarks and boils that make them look like huge cobs of corn. You now have to find a new cave for all 37 of you to live in. However, three of the less intelligent tribespeople decide to eat one of the of dead bodies. They figure the poison is only good for the person directly bittherefore they won't die. [Technically that is true, because
the first one chokes on an armpit, the second one eats near a side of a cliff, sneezes and fails over, and the third one gets snatched by a flying monkey-fish-bird. Okay, the dwindling tribe finally manages to secure a cave. Unfortunately they bad to kill the other tribe living there, but that's how these people operate. The 34 tribespeople settle into their new home. They decide to throw a cavewarming party, and Medg whips up some of her famous "berry juice" for all to enjoy. A huge bonfire is lit and everyone gets drunk and naked and start dancing around the fire while smearing mud and lizard blood all over each other. Then Durn, the patty animal of the tribe, bets you a handful of pebbles dm you cant set him on fire. You then grab a flaming splint of wood from the fire and, as Durn merely stands there while covered in mud, lizard blood, and "berry juice," you proceed to burn him. Durn is now on fire and running around screaming "Durn on fire, Durn on fire!" He passes by 10 other people who are also covered in "berry juice" and are now ablaze thenselves. They soon start running around and everyone but you is on fire. You, Murg, are the sole survivor of your tribe You have displayed intelligence, cunning, and a knack for survival Yoa are why the Human race has evolved. Then you start eating one of the charred bodies and choke to death on an armpit.

Need to Know Housing Info for Student Teachers ALLISON BEVERLEY
Business Manager For those of you who are planning to Student Teach next fall, there are some things that you need to know about housing options. For the first month or so of the semester the Students Teachers are required to attend modules here on campus. If you plan to Student Teach outside of Prince Edward County or the surrounding area and not live on campus, you will have to provide your own housing. The housing office has been trying to work with some of the local hotels to see if a special rate can be arranged for the Longwood Student Teachers.
They hope that the rate will be around $50 per night instead of the normal $60 to $70 per night. This rale, whatever it ends up being, would apply whether there was one occupant or up to four. This would help ease the cost some, and still give the students a choice as to how many roommates to have. Unfortunately, those students that cannot afford the possible $350 to $ 1400 for the month to stay in the hotel, are on their own. According to various unnamed faculty members, the housing office was told what to do, rather than being included in the decision making process. This is important because
these same faculty members claim that the housing office fought for the right to have adequate on campus housing provided for the Student Teachers. A hotel room has only one phone line for up to four computers, only two beds, and not enough space to fit all of the required materials like computers. Anyone who has lived in a cramped hotel room with more

Natural Does Not Mean Safe In the past few years, Americans of all ages have increasingly been seeking out and using alternative medicines. It is estimated that one third of Americans take some herbal medicine, vitamins, or diet supplements. In response to this practice the National Institute of Health has established the National Center of Alternative and Complementary Medicine to study the safety and effectiveness of alternative medicines. Herbal products are widely available in drugstores and supermarkets. Only nine of approximately 1,400 available have been judged by the FDA to be both safe and effective. They include aloe, cayenne pepper, cascara, psyllium, senna, slippery elm, and witch hazel. Current studies are underway to evaluate other common herbal preparations. There are no standards controlling the quality of herbal products sold in the United States. Herbal products can and have been used safely throughout
history. Many of our common medicines started out as an herbal remedy. For example, willow bark tea was used for pain and fever. We now know that the key ingredient in the tea is aspirin. If you take any herbal preparations, vitamins, or diet supplements, follow the following safety rules: 1. Tell your health care provider everything you take for your health, including all vitamins, herbals, and supplements. 2. Do not take any herbal preparations if pregnant or nursing. 3. Do not take a large quantity of any one herbal preparation or vitamin. Remember: the dose makes the poison. 4. Buy only preparations that list the plants and quantities on the package. Do not buy or take any supplement that doesn't list all the ingredients. 5. Do not take anything containing comfrey. 6. Herbal teas can be dangerous if used to excess.

HOUSING cont'd p. 4 than one other person and has had to share a bed, knows that it can only be done without conflict for a short period of time. For those students that can afford this special hotel rate, there needs to be access to computers. The Student Teachers in the up coming fall were never obligated to buy the laptops that the school offers, so a good portion of us have desktops. There is no way that they will all fit in a hotel room. Even f they could, would you want to leave your $1200 computer in a hotel room unattended and unsecure? When Mike Clements was asked this question he informed me that there was a 100m in Frazer, in between two fraternity chapter rooms, that contained twelve internet ports This room would only be available to those people that were in modules and ph—iM ID Student Teach.
Unlortunately, this is only accommodating to people that own laptops. Another option is the computer labs, but not everyone can finish their work by the time that they close for the night. The students oa this campus should not have to pay twice as much or more per month for a hotel room when they could pay less and live on campus in a dorm room. The students attending Longwood College have worked hard to be where they are, and spent thousands of dollars in tuition and other expenses in order to do so. Our dedication to Longwood should count enough for the faculty members and administrators of Longwood to provide us with housing while we are attending a required program. If our dedication, hard work, and money spent is not enough, then what does that really say about what Longwood thinks of IU students?
MONEY cont'd p.l dents may earn a $3000 scholarship is by graduating as one of the top twenty students in his or her twelfth grade class. In both cases, the scholarship money is contingent upon (1) the student's good behavior; no student who has been suspended or expelled is eligible for New Century Scholarship; and (2) maintaining a B (3.0) grade point average. These two avenues to a New Century Scholarship cannot be combined, meaning that the maximum for any student is $3000. Students would be able to use these New Century Scholarships at any two or four-year public or private college or university or nonprofit accredited career school in Virginia. This merit-based scholarship provides an incentive to motivate students to work hard, and rewards their dedicated efforts. This unique approach of combining a need-based and a merit-based approach to affordability in Virginia will help to ensure that Virginia's neediest students have the finanial resources to attend college, while at the same time encouraging Virginia's best and brightest to stay in the Commonwealth. DEAD cont'd p. 1 will be heard rom 2 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4 to 7 p.m. weekdays. Weekends will have somewhat more student programming by the WLCX staff. The weekend will include many favorite public radio programs, such as "Car Talk,"
It is important to note that this innovative program is only one facet of an unprecedented level of support for Virginia's colleges, universities, and, most importantly, students. By all measures, the current Governor and General Assembly are providing more funds for higher education today than at any other time in Virginia's history. The high water mark for tax support of our colleges and universities occurred a decade ago, in 1990, when Virginia's taxpayers spent $855.7 million on public colleges and universities, the equivalent of $4,191 per Virginia student. This year, Virginia's taxpayers are investing $1.4 billion, or $7,382 per Virginia student. In inflation adjusted dollars, that represents an increase of $1,765 per student, or 31.4%. Since 1997, the General Assembly and the Governor have increased operating funds for public colleges by over $500 million. That is a 54% increase in just four years. Finally, the Governor's budget provides a dramatic increase in state funding for campus improvements totaling $249 million in new funding for the construction of new buildings and the maintenance of existing structures.
In the proposed amendments to the bi-yearly budget. Governor Gilmore lias proposed $187.8 million in new capital projects for significant construction and renovation projects at all Virginia colleges and universities. In addition, $61.8 million in new funding is provided for maintenance on higher education facilities. By significandy increasing funding for deferred maintenance, Virginia's colleges and universities will be able to address needs for infrastructure and building systems that require continental attention and maintenance. These investments of the Governor and the General Assembly demonstrate our commitment to ensuring that the dreams of our young people don't have to be deferred. Virginia's colleges and universities are among the best in the nation. The Higher Education Affordability Act may be in jeopardy. Members of the General Assembly need to hear from students who will benefit from these opportunities. Please let your voice be heard and help us to open the doors of these fine institutions to those students who have the desire and dedication to attend them.
"A Prairie Home Companion," "Weekend Edition," and "Whad'Ya Know?" When students are out of school, WLCX will carry WMRA's programming full time. "We are delighted that Longwood College was eager to bring NPR programming to

Movie Review: The Wedding Planner ALLYSON BLAKE Features Editor If any of you saw the commercials on television for The Wedding Planner, you probably thought it looked predictable and was just the typical Hollywood love story. Well, you're right for the most part, but hey, even Hollywood can pull out the occasional love story that leaves you wanting to come back for more. Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey star in this funny and romantic movie about a wedding planner and a doctor who meet when they literally fall into the street after he saves her from being hit by a runaway trailer. Shortly after rescuing her,
Steve (McConaughey) and Mary (Lopez) are set up on a date by Mary's assistant They end up dancing under the stars which makes Mary start to believe that maybe she can find love. But all of that comes to a crashing halt when Mary realizes that her new client's fiancee and Steve are one and the same. Will they find a way to be together? You can probably guess the answer to that, but I won't give it away! So, if you like romance with a lot of laughs mixed in, then this is definitely the movie for you! I give it an A!
Days of the White Owl ROYAYRES Staff Writer Before you read this article, I just want to say that I am in no way nor will I never be a profound critic of music. There's simply music I like (i.e. metal, rockabilly, punk, hard rock) and music that I don't like (i.e. rap, r&b, pop, country). There are a few exceptions (o my likes and dislikes, but overall that's what my position is on music. If this isn't as good a review as the ones you are used to, I apologize. I've only just started to get
into punk music, and I'm still kicking myself for not getting into it sooner.
This is exactly the type of music that I like to listen to: loud, fast, and aggressive. One of the bands that fits this bill is The Nerve Agents.
The Nerve Agents are a punk band from California and play some kickass music. Their most recent LP is Days of the White Owl, and I have to say that this album rocks. The album begins and ends with some rather somber piano music, and in between is about 27 minutes of eardrum rupturing, seizure inducing punk music. Some of the tracks that really stand out are "Next in Line," "Off Come the Blindfolds," and "Fall of the All-American." This album might be hard to find, but if you're into punk music and come across it, get it. I guarantee you'll dig it.
Advice from the Career Center Dear Career Comer: I'm a junior political science major and I've started to look into internship possibilities, but I'm nervous about doing a face-to-face interview. How can I overcome this fear? Nervous Ned Dear Nervous Ned: The Interviewing Skills program at the Career Center is a great way to find out not only what makes you nervous about
interviewing but also how to conduct yourself in an interview and identify areas that need improvement. The best way to get over a fear like this is to confront it head on and learn how to sell the skills that will make you a more marketable candidate. Join us for our next Interviewing Skills program on Wednesday, February 14 at 3:30 p.m. in Lancaster 139. If you would like more per-
sonalized assistance after the program, you can set up a time to have a mock interview with one of our counselors. This gives you the opportunity to see how well you might conduct yourself before you go in for a real interview. Remember, practice makes perfect!

Krauss Visits Longwood KEVIN ROCK Calendar Editor Bil Krauss has been singing and entertaining for many years now. Krauss has only been performing stand-up comedy for four months now, but he is rapidly becoming very successful. He is now one of the official writers for Jay Leno on the Tonight Show. He blessed the Lancer Cafe" with his presence the evening of Friday, February 2. He started by wanning up the audience with his stand-up charm. He began by talking to the two officers there, and everyone that came in for the rest of the night ended up going over to hug the officers. Officer Sudesberry has now run out of hugs for the week. He began his musical evening with popular songs like "Cecilia" and "Mrs. Robinson," along with making up songs on the spot about many of the audi-
ence members, amusing everyone. After a little debate, he brought up a few ladies, Kate & Laura, to the stage to help him sing "Brown-Eyed Girl." Though putting up an argument at first, they had a blast and nearly had to be pulled off the stage. Laura even performed a backflip on stage to express her energy. Talking afterwards, they commented, "Good times are had by all!" i Krauss has a thing with borrowing other peoples' hats, and wearing them for a song or two because he wants to "be that person for awhile." Though I was working in the cafe" that evening, he ended up with my hat for a few songs beginning with one of his own called "Squeeze Your Face." Just like the others he instructed me to give both campus police members a hug. Krauss moved on to perform a cover of "Proud Mary,"
and though I have never heard the original version, I found this song to be very good. Four audience members got up there to help sing the song with him. These same four stayed up on stage to help him sing "I Will Survive," in which Krauss wore a wig to help fit the part. Then he sang "Joy to the World," and Kate and Laura from earlier came back on stage to dance and sing more. He continued on with more songs like "Build Me Up Butter Cup," "American Pie," "Piano Man," along with his own comical version of Jimmy Buffett's "Margaritavillc," and concluding his show with "Rocky Mountain High." All in all it was a very motivational evening. He rocked the house, and not one person I saw left without a smile from ear to ear. I would be one of the first to welcome him back to the Longwood Community for another show.
Jazz Dance Festival Held in Richmond ANNE BELL Staff Writer The All That Jazz Dance Festival with Joe Istre filled the Lancer Gym's Dance Studio with loud music and lively dancers all weekend. The Festival began on Friday February 2 from 6:00-7:30 and carried on to Saturday from 12:30-2:00. Also, on Saturday there was a Community Workshop for Fourth to Twelfth graders which cost one dollar for admission. On Sunday the City Dance Troupe Workshop of All That Jazz was held in Richmond from 12:00-1:30.
Joe Istra began these workshops with a fast-paced warm up routine, then moved onto floor
exercises to music including Jessica Simpson. Next, across-the- floor combinations were danced in lines. This led into the last piece of Joe
Istre's workshop, the dance routine.
One was done to a lyrical piece by Katie Lang, which interpreted the lyrics by using certain dance moves and steps. A faster routine was done to Pink's "There You Go." which used steps at a much more rapid pace. The All That Jazz Dance Festival proved to be worthwhile and exciting to those watching and those participating. When the workshops were done, Joe Istre received appreciative applause from the dancers. These workshops left dancers feeling tired and extremely sweaty, yet smiling.
Longwood Theatre Opens with True West Longwood Theatre opens the spring semester with Sam Shephard's True West, the Cain and Abel parable set to the tune of modern day Hollywood. True West runs in the Nancy Haga Studio Theatre, Jarman Auditorium downstairs, February 14-17 and 21-24 at 8 p.m. and February 18 and 25 at 3 p.m. The production is "clear, funny, naturalistic. It's also opaque, terrifying, surrealistic. If that sounds contradictory, you're on to the one aspect of Shephard's winning genius, the ability to make you think you're watching
one thing while at the same time he's presenting another" (San Francisco Chronicle). In True West, Austin, an aspiring Hollywood screenwriter, lives in his mother's house. He is visited by his older brother, Lee, a drifting drunk like their father. Enter a trendy film producer. Austin has sold a romantic script to the producer, but Lee convinces the guy to accept his "script" instead, a contemporary "true Western." The tables are turned and then turned again producing some "brillantly funny scenes" (Sacra-
mento Bee). Directed by Kyle Zimmerman, True West features the following Longwood students: Josh Howell as Lee, David Janeski as Austin, Bobby Vrtis as Saul, and Leslie Cooley as the mother. Seating is extremely limited, so get your tickets early for this production, which is intended for mature audiences only. For ticket information, call the Jarman Box Office at (804) 395-2474. Tuesdays-Thursdays, 3:30to5:30 p.m.

CD Review: Collective Soul's "BlendeS' MATT TAYLOR Staff Writtr
Collective Soul has been one of the more enduring rock groups of the 90s. With four albums since their first album December in 1994, Collective Soul has certainly kept busy. Lead singer Ed Roland's voice can go from deep to high without missing a beat and is punctuated with addictive guitar beats and drums in such past hits as "The World I Know" "Precious Declaration'' "Run" and •Heavy." With their newest album Blender," Collective Soul starts to branch out into pop. They've cut their hair, and yes the flashy front cover makes them look more like The Backstreet Boys than a rock group, but does that mean that their music sucks? Collective Soul still proves they can rock with such songs as Boast" "Happiness" and "Why |pt.2." The strangely addictive "Why pt. 2" has MTV hit written all over it, and most closely resembles their previous material. The second song on the al
ban "Vent" sounds normal enough, however at times throughout the song Roland's voice ends up sounding like AC/ DC or some other high pitched 80s rock band. Other songs offer a wide span of music types. "You Speak my Language" is very aggressive, while "Perfect Day," which features Elton John, showcases the albums pop additions. None of the pop additions sound phenomenal; Collective Soul could have done us all a favor by sticking to their tried and true rock formula. If you can't tell yet, Collective Soul's sound has changed in this album, but the question still remains, is it word) buying? For previous Collective Soul fans the answer is yes. Blender may not rock as hard as their previous albums, but the songs are high-quality, and the vocals and guitar are still strong. For newer listeners Blender is still worth recommending, though I'd listen to a few tracks before you buy this album. Collective Soul still proves that they can turn out some high quality rock songs-bell, that's better than most new artists today.
