Hundreds of students flocked to the Michigan Union
yesterday hoping to catch a glimpse of reality TV star
Trishelle from the 12th season of "The Real World," who
signed autographs and took pictures with fans as a pro-
motion for travel company, STA. Before being swarmed,
Trishelle spoke with The Michigan Daily about life inside
the MTV fishbowl.
The Michigan Daily: What have you been doing since
the show ended?
Trishelle: A lot of us travel and do college tours. Frank
just got a small part in "American Pie 3." Some of us are
trying to go into acting.
TMD: What are your future plans?
Trishelle: I would like to do broadcasting. I would also
like to host my own show on MTV I'm going to be in Can-
cun hosting for Maxim and hopefully hosting for MTV
"Spring Break".
TMD: Well, what did happen in Australia?
Trishelle: Frank and me obviously got closer. Elton
probably had a threesome, at least he told Steven he did.
But he's with Irulan so we won't really talk about that.
TMD: Do you think Steven overreacted when Brynn
threw a fork at him?
Trishelle: No, I don't think he overreacted. They didn't
catch a lot of it on camera. I wanted her gone, a lot of peo-
ple did, but they weren't going to let her go.
TMD: How do you think the show portrayed you, and
do you think this portrayal was correct or incorrect?
Trishelle: If you watched the show from the beginning,
they showed me with Frank, and then with Steven. That
really was not how it was. I didn't
know how Frank felt about me until
after the episode aired. They also
showed me and Steven hooking up
the first night; it wasn't like that -
it was, like, three weeks later. M INOR
TMD: Do you think the show
portrayed any other cast member
incorrectly? BY COURTNE
Trishelle: Yeah, they showed
Brynn like a crazy psycho person,
Steven like the slut and Frank like a
goody two shoes. Frank is not a good boy; he gets more
game than any guy I've probably ever met. Steven? He
slept with two people in Vegas, less than any of the other
guys. Irulan? She's not a crazy person either. Irulan is a
really good person, and Brynn's not crazy; she's not like
that. They probably showed me, Irulan and Steven as the
worst cast members. They tape us for five months, and use
less than a day of footage; of course they're not going to
show every good moment that we have.
TMD: Do you feel that this season contains more sexu-
ality than previous seasons?
Trishelle: Of course. I think our cast was different than
others. They're way more good looking and open and we
got along better as a cast and I think this might have added
to our attraction to one another.
TMD: Is there anything you regret having done on
national television?
Trishelle: No.
TMD: Were any of your family members disappointed
by what they saw?
Holland's Big Band jazzes up A'
By Melissa Runstrom
Daily Arts Writer i- .
Be prepared for a spectacular night
of jazz Saturday when Dave Holland
brings his quintet and big band to the
Michigan Theater. His music should
certainly be a treat for both avid and
casual jazz fans. Dave Holland is one
of the most respected names in mod-
ern jazz. He is renowned around the
world for his solo and quintet work
while his big band is met with
increasing acclaim.
Born in England, Holland left
school when he was only 15 to pursue
his musical career. Eventually he
received a full scholarship to the
Guildhall School of Music and
Drama. In the 1960's, jazz legend
Miles Davis discovered Holland and
asked him to come to America to play
in his fusion band.
Since moving across the pond,

Trishelle: My dad didn't speak to me for about a week
after the third episode. He quit watching the show, though,
and our relationship is a lot better now.
TMD: How do you feel about being portrayed as having
had an eating disorder?
Trishelle: I totally did, but I think a lot of it had to do
with the stress of cameras. I think every single girl in the
cast had an eating disorder at one point. All of us were
throwing up; all of us didn't eat as much as we should have.
TMD: Whom do you keep in touch with out of the cast?
Trishelle: Everyone. Irulan and Elton live across the
street, and Frank lives five minutes away. Brynn is engaged
to Austin and has moved back to Portland. Arissa is
engaged and lives in Vegas. I talk to Frank and Steven the
most - at least three or four times a day.
TMD: Was the show everything you expected it td be
and what do you think you're walking away with?
Trishelle: Honestly, I had no expectations. I learned a
lot about myself, and I met the best friends I've ever
made in my life.
Holland has earned a
reputation as one of the
best jazz musicians and
is noted for his impro-
vised jazz. He is an
extraordinary bass
player, cellist and com-
poser. Holland is also
dedicated to teaching,
and he was awarded an
honorary Doctorate of

With one of the
strongest and most rec-
ognized quintets in
popular jazz today,
Holland had already
made his music known.
When he started his
big band in 2000,
many doubted that it
would fit in with the
music his quintet was
known for. Their fears
proved to be ill found-
ed, however, when his
Holland combines his quintet with
the power provided by the band and
pulls off something that few com-
posers can. He applies each individual
layer of power with precision, utiliz-
ing the soloist, quintet and big band
effectively. Earning three Grammy
nominations, including one this year
for Holland's Big Band album, "What
Goes Around," the Big Band is receiv-
ing rave reviews from jazz fans, crit-
ics and musicians alike.
Seeing and hearing this talented
group of musicians on Saturday will
certainly be a delight. The perfect har-
monies of the musicians combined
with the improvisational jazz skills of
Dave Holland are second to none.

Avant Eos to perform Copland
By Melissa Runstrom
Daily Arts Writer
Unique, original, fresh and appeal-
ing all describe the Eos Orchestra and
its upcoming performance Sunday,
Feb. 16th. Eos offers something other
than the traditional orchestral experi-
ence. Their mission is to present
engaging programs to a variety of
people employing non-traditional
approaches and rare
musical scores. Their
motto, according to
executive director
Stephen Vann, an '84
University alumnus, is
"A new way to see

the orchestra and the pieces he selects.
"He is brilliant in so many ways,
including the way he puts pieces
together side by side, so that one work
allows you to see the other pieces more
intimately,"Vann said.
The performance on Sunday will
include selections from Paul Bowles
and Aaron Copland. The latter is often
described as one of the quintessential
American composers.
Though Copland's
name is relatively well
known today, Sheffer
S found most of the
STRA upcoming program's
material untouched and

4 p.m. cert will include "The
sical Society City Suite" with twenty
minutes of black and
white footage from a film Copland
made for the 1939 World's Fair.
The program will also include Cop-
land's beautiful musical piece
"Appalachian Spring" with the original
ballet program being performed as a
rare treat. "You will come away feeling
and knowing that this is a composer
with something to say to today's audi-
ences,"Vann testifies.

ticular pieces of the game that suit
their characters. This imaginative
approach should make the technicali-
ties of Richard's hierarchal advances
visual and so help the audience to
understand exactly who has the
advantage and when.
As if displaying the game behind
the play was not enough creative inge-
nuity, Marod explains how the play "is
set in a matrix-like world suggestive
of Elizabethan times." This includes
adorning Richard in black leather.
Also, Marod hints at her attempts for
some laughs. "We're looking to make
it more humorous," she says.
With an abundance of interesting
twists to this timeless Shakespearian
play, Basement Arts, with its talent-
ed cast and unique performance,

ing evening.

tor and composer. The idea behind Eos
is to make the music open and avail-
able to everyone. Vann says it should
be "accessible for the novice but still
entertaining for the expert."
"Conducting is one of the great joys
of my life," said Sheffer who conducts
Eos and also has conducted the scores
for popular movies like "Alien 3" and
"Interview with the Vampire." He loves
working with Eos because he finds it a
good way to express his creativity, both
musically and through the program
planning. Sheffer has been a driving
and innovative force behind Eos. Pick-
ing obscure, lost or rare pieces to bring
to the public, he succeeds in making
them relevant to today's audiences.
The success of the non-traditional
programming can be attributed, in part,
to Sheffer's genuine commitment to
formed by an orchestra. This helps
account for the fact that more than a
third of Eos' audience falls between
the ages of 25 and 35. Sheffer insists it
is because "we offer familiar and unfa-
miliar together."
The whole orchestra is proud of
the reputation it has garnered, as well
as the work and presentation that
have justly brought about such talk.
Eos musicians are real partners in the
production of the material. They take
an active roll on all levels and in all
facets, including business and cre-
ative aspects of the group. This cre-
ates a passion and enthusiasm for the
work clearly seen in their perform-
ance. Vann explains, "I think what
the audience can expect is to be
drawn into the music by the passion
of the playing."
