LIBERTY Across From The Michigan Theater 761-4539 ATTITU DES Continued from Page 9 oriented and specialized in their interests, mindful of the economic pressures and uncertainty that they will face upon graduation. Debra Orr May, director of the Office of Carreer Planning and Placement, feels that too often these "interests" are not genuine-students are taking courses that they feel they need to, and specializing in areas that they feel they have to. Her office is busier than it has ever been before, handling approximately 10,000 client tranactions a month. "It's very sad, but too few students realize that education is intended to teach you how to look at a world of diversity," said Orr May. "At our office we try to encourage them to explore-but students feel a real pressure to be very career focused, and that often doesn't leave time for involvement outside of the library." Some students already active in campus groups say they are seeing increases in student participa- tion-small increases. "Our membership picks up every month because it is now the in thing to be a Republican," according to LSA senior Mike Davidson, former head of College Republicans. "Younger people appear to be more into personal responsibility, not just into 0 i themselves." But conservatism's increased presence is often misread. Despite Reagan's popularity, a majority of students disagree with many of his positions, such as abortion and prayer in schools. About half oppose his Strategic Defense Initiative, a plan for space-based weapons commonly referred to as "Star Wars," and an equal number oppose his handling of relations with South Africa. Students involved in more liberal causes say, like the Republicans, that participation is increasing. "There has been an incredible amount of student imput into the campaign because students feel that they can really make a difference," said Thea Lee, a graduate student who is working on Dean Baker's campaign for Congress. Baker, also a graduate student, is running as a Democrat. Lee, who is also active with the Latin American Solidarity Committee, sees that other concerns increasing. "The number of students who want to do something to prevent Latin American from becoming another Vietnam is increasing with every meeting," she said. "Vietnam and history have taught us much." Interest in Latin America, like concern about Vietnam in the '60s, is greatest among students who feel most threatened by the situation. Similarly, increased participation in programs like- Safewalk and rape awareness have shown that students are ready and willing to get involved when concerns hit home. Some say that even Greeks, a group often viewed as apolitical, have become more involved. It is. now common to see members of sororities and fraternities involved in political campaigns, rallies, and their own fundraising events. "In my eight years as an advisor I have never seen such involvement in the campus and its activities among Greeks," said Panhellenic advisor Mary Beth Seiler. It is clear that the vast majority of Michigan's students, however, remain uninvolved in politics or causes. But that doesn't necessarily mean they're uninterested. Eldersveld and others don't expect activism to come close to the levels of the '60s and early '70s unless students are directly threatened. Issues will have to become more pressing before they're likely to provoke mass involvement. Right now, students are most worried about their economic futures, and they direct their energies accordingly. Michigan's campus is politically quiet. Activism is low-key. "That's the sentiment out there," Eldersveld said. "You don't see it as wildly radical, and it's not anti- establishment like it was in the '60s. It's more polite, more subdued, more sophisticated-and more potential." \ 1]. Continued from Page 4 on top of the heap. Their fifth record, simply entitled "Government Issue," shows GI changing their sound without falling on their faces. They're not screaming and thrashing away as much as they used to, but they remain just as powerful. "Hear The Scream," "Even When You're Here," and "Say Something" are hard-edged, gritty all-out rockers that retain GI's raw edge. No slicked up productiontechniques on this record. "They Know," the album's best cut, shows GI thrashing away like the old days, and features singer John Stab urgently screaming his brains out as well as muttering away in his gravelly, cynical voice. The album never drags. It contains a handful of strange and somewhat unusual songs for a hardcore band. "Visions And?" and "Memories Past" are instrumentals which open and close side one respectively. "Visions And?" is a loud snippet that sounds like an intro to a song that never mater - ializes. But it stands on its own, thanks in part to its sitar, a very unlikely instrument to pop up'in the "Vision And?" wall of sound. "Memories Past" is a spacey little number, with backward sound for a full psychadelic experience. The album's final cut, "Last Forever," is a minimalistic sounding psych - adelic tune featuring only sitar, percussion loaded with reverb, and John Stab's hoarsy drone. Government Issue's latest is an abrasive breath of fresh air. In fact, the members of GI are quite possibly the only people from Washington, D.C. worth listening to these days. --Danny Plotnick Antietam MUSIC FROM ELBA Homestead Antietam is a big noise. A harsh noise. But not a hard noise. Antietam was actually the bloodiest battle of the Civil War. Despite the connotations, Antietam the band is not from the war- ravaged South-they're from New Jersey. But they're ravaged and bloodstained nonetheless. If you try to tap along an orderly rhythm to Sean Mulhall's drumming, you are begging to lose your mind in the process. Antietam is a band that sacrifices melodyand order forsthe, uh, feel of things. "Music From Elba" is a conglomeration of songs which aim for chaos. Things start big, get small, and get blasted again. Through it all, Tara Key's strong 'alto (singing isn't the word for what she does-there's too much ferocity to keep her to the melody) is a gut-filled, urgent power. With the help of Tim Harris (with whom she shares guitar duties) the result is at times bombastic, as on "San w ; -w- Diego," which opens the record with a nasty wail. "Camp Folk" is a bit closer to conventional singing, and the effect is more immediately palatable, although rhythmically quirky like the rest of the album. And Antietam has enlisted violinist Danna Pentes (of Fetchin Bones), who ties up "Gordion/Love Knot" with her eerie, sustained playing over a sparse drumtrack, and "fiddles" her way through the swirling chaos of the glorious "M.V. Augusta." Antietam takes some getting used to. On first listen they're too harsh and raw to follow, but after a short while, "Music From Elba" eventually emerges as a likeable and very unique LP. -Beth Fertig Experience Ann Arbor's newest Night Club & Lounge irI" '"'l:Sn d 764-0553 N 764-0562 N 747-3334 N 763-2459 N C&D ttigt 0 '~itfPT -m7N: rlin A ,p /PAW.,q r 4r{J tK IIIT 1( UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN 1986-1987 DEPARTMENTAL CO-OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM ost Effective.
