It's easy to ignore a
museum.
Oh, not the physical
building? one could hardly
stroll down New York City's
Fifth Avenue without gazing
ga up ai tne sprawling
^ Metropolitan Museum of
Art, and our own USC
Horseshoe would not be the
same without the crown of
the beautiful McKissick
structure.
But it's easy to ignore the
intrigue of a museum as one
walks by, intent on the daily
schedule.
I would submit that an
excellent change of pace? a
"pit stop" in th. en
lenaiineni rai race- is a
visit to a museum. Two
outstanding opportunities
are present in the McKissick
Museums on the USC Horseshoe
and the Columbia
Museums of Art and Science
at the corner of Senate and
Bull streets.
Both museums strive to
present culturally diverse
special exhibits in addition
to regularly scheduled
9 programs and displays. And
the McKissick Museum often
has presentations of special
interest to the university
community.
Currently at the
McKissick Museums is an

BY PETE O'BRIEN
Staff Writer
The twelve-inch single,
formerly used only by disc
jockeys in discos, is making
its apperance more
frequently on the shelves of
record stores. Although
more exDensive than the
traditional seven-inch with
the big hole in the center, the
sound quality is superior.
Here are three of the better
twelve-inch singles that have
taken a ride on my turntable:
"B-Movie" Gil ScottHeron
(Arista)
Scott-Heron is a poet
musician with ten LP
records and two books under
his belt. His new single
continues his concern for
political affairs and
especially those which affect
black Americans. As he puts
it, "I support everything I
think is going to bring about
something positive for black
nf*nnlp "
I 1?w*
"B-Movie" takes on the
Reagan Administration and
apathy in America, among
other things. The villins are
"Ronald "Ray-gun," George
"Commandante" Bush and
"Attila the Haig." According
