' Edir.opial fflu.,g,g Inferior quality wi iiiudiL njunyt was avoidable When Russell House Director Tom Otts announced plans for a music lounge on the third floor of the Kussell House, it sounded like a great idea. It would be a room where students could listen to music on headphones in a soundproof room, would include cassette players, turntables, tuners and eventually would house a "complete library of recordings. Technical Services Manager Harry Bousbourelis supervised the renovations of the room and the result is an inferior music lounge. Thousands of dollars were spent in the building of the music lounge, but bad attitudes and a lack of time and care kept USC from acquiring quality results. ACCORDING TO Skippy Beach, former employee of Boushourelis, he designed a system that would most efficiently achieve the effect wanted. Due to internal conflict, however, he left to work at the Quarter Moon and his plans were disregarded. In his opinion, choosing a wireless system for the music lounge was the major mistake. His designs for soundproofing the room were also ignored, leaving Boushourelis without as soundproof a room as possible. Beach said lie was practically forced to leave because his boss was jealous of his knowledge. Bo )ourelis said Beach was trying to steal his job Whatever : .0 reason, it is too bad that Boushourelis let personality con.lids interfere. msieau 01 me tuissen mousc music lounge neneiumn irom Beach's knowiedge and talent, the (Quarter Moon received a brilliant new .sound system designed b\ Bench, one which is acclaimed as the best in Columbia. Meanwhile. Russell House is left with an inferior room and a lack of money to improve it. The idea had potential, but judging from the lack of participants in the lounge, it can be deemed unsuccessful.

I know ic, and his efforts to further bodybuilding's cause on this mpus have been numerous and well thought of. He puts on *reat show at the Mr. USC. and attracts quality guests such Mike Mentzer. Eric doesn't do this because he has tc.but icause he loves the sport. In response to your accusation that Nautilus is superior to irbells, your information is inaccurate, to say the least, lere are no bodybuilders now or in the past that have or 'er will build a championship body on Nautilus. The reason: develop a muscle and work it fully, you have to hit it from 1 angles. This is impossible with the Nautilus machines nee it only has one range of motion. This is only one of many drawbacks to the machines, aybe the Nautilus apparatus are good for periods of twenty thirty minutes a day (which is not long enough to fully ork to body), but lor nard-core Doaybuuaing ana >werlifting, its effect is minimal, to say the least. AS F()|{ Mentzer and Viator using Nautilus machines in leir workouts, they incorporate Nautilus very little in their orkouts. Their bodies' foundations was built \sith heavy irbell and dumbell work and not with Nautilus. Ment/.er jshes Nautilus because he is paid by Arthur Jones, Nautilus ventor Being n powerlifter myself, 1 personally have no use tor autilus machines and other bodybuilders and pow erlil tors ike would do well to stick to conventional barbell, dumbell ni versa I and pulley work to build their bodies Nautilus is 3th overrated and overpublicized Maybe Mr. Youngmer. L'ing an Kxercize Physiology Major, thinks he is the sole uthority on both the sport of bodybuilding and Nautilus .n/.h.n<L in v i ii i iv o . 1 do not profess to know everything about Nautilus or [xiyhuilding, but 1 will speak up when I think not only an ijustice is done, and when someone professes to know much, hen in reality they know very little.
