Where's Rambo when you need him? Best Place to Study: the Grad We're still waiting for Rambo. Best Place to Work Out: CCRB Perfect place to watch those Greek letters whiz by as they get physical on the StairMaster. Best Campus Tradition: the Nude Mile How come themen always outnum- ber the women by about 10 to one? Best Cause/Issue/Movement: Hash Bash NORML 3 University 0 Best Activist Group: NORML Just barely beating out Christians Against Coffee Shops. Best Protest Slogan: (tie) Here we go: "Fuck You," "Fuck Bush," "Jesus never drank coffee" and, finally, "pc = plain courtesy." Best Speaker/Lecturer in the Past Year: Bill Clinton Who could possibly beat the Come- back Kid who roared into town last October, on a cold, cold night, to dazzle us all in true JFK style? You gave us something to tell our grandchildren about, Bill. Come back. We miss you. Best MSA Member: Craig Greenberg No offense, Craig, but this was a trick question. Best Computing Center: Angell Hall The best if you like long lines, waitlists and annoying creative writing students printing their 300-page manu- scripts as you wait with grit teeth. Try your dorm computer cluster. (Really.) Not that we're complaining. Best Place to Find Parking: No- where Thirteen places got votes, but we're not telling you where they are. Best student group / organiza- tion: the Michigan Daily Despite votes for SHOUT, Arts Chorale and the Michigan Vegetarians, the Daily won this category. Honestly. We did. Really. Best Fraternity to Party with: Sigma Phi Epsilon If you like sticky beer-drenched floors, grabby frat rats and some occa- sionally stimulating conversations about favorite vomit experiences, this is the place for you. Just kidding. Ugliest Building: the UGLI Can't you guys be a little more cre- ative? It's like some guy named Oscar winning an Academy Award. Best Bathroom: the Union It'sprobably somewhatcleaner than your own, although that's not saying a hell of a lot. Best Lecture Hall: 1800 Chem Enjoy itall youwant.It'sbuiltthanks to profits from the Dow war machine. But seriously, there's no thrill quite like twirling around on one of those swivel chairs.

Still lost in the jungle award: Francis Ford Coppola, 13 years run- ning ("Francis, come home! We miss you"). Best trailer: (tie) "Brain Stoker's Dracula" and "Simple Men." Worst trailer: "Groundhog Day." No need to see the movie after this. Best newcomer (director): Quentin Tarantino for "Reservoir Dogs" (Run- ner-up: Alexandre Rockwell for "In the Soup."). Best movies that never came here: (tie) "Bad Lieutenant" and "In the Soup." Most underrated: "Husbands and Wives" (So what? They weren'trelated by blood). Only film that justified its three- and-a-halfhour length:'MalcolmX." Best bathroom scene: Acting God Tm Roth's lyrical monologue in "Res- ervoirDogs" ("Buddy, I'm gonna shoot you in the face!").

Here's a sample of what folks are saying about us: "Schoolkids' has been my favorite store in Ametica for almost 15 years. Schoolkids' is a genuine 'record store' in the classic sense; its atmosphere and its regard for the music it sells is clearly unique in the business. It does not underestimate the taste or intelligence of its customers. It carries the widest spectrum of music--all sorts of music--that I've ever seen anywhere. Its employees are helpful, knowledgeable fans of music rather than mere button pushers." Dave DiMartino Los Angeles Bureau Chief, Billboard; Record reviewer for Spin, Rolling Stone, and Musician; former Editor of Creem magazine. ANN ARBOR'S OWN RECORD LABEL: Be sure to pick up our new releases by local blues stars Madcat & Shari Kane, ex-NRBQ guitarist Steve Ferguson, and a classic rock reissue by the Kingbees. Great albums by boogie pianist Mr. B, award-winning singer/ songwriter Dick Siegel, and ace roots rock guitarist George Bedard are also available.
