Picking OL, Your Notes <*5L:. Bill Sengstacken Man, talk about impressing the new boss! Elvis Costello left Colum bia Records about a year ago, and on Spike (Warner Brothers Records) he enlists the help of Paul McCartney, Chrissie Hynde, T-Bone Burnett, Roger McGuinn, Mitchell Froom and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. The combination brings to mind 1986's King of America, except this batch is less folksy than the previous effort. Costello has never been a songwriting slouch, and this time is no exception. His style is slightly reminiscent of John Lennon's angst-filled work, particularly on the chilling "God's Comic," where God is portrayed as a slovenly king, and Costello takes the position of his court jester. The Beatlesque comparison is made more apparent on the two songs co-written by McCartney. While the former Beatle has had difficulties writing solo material of late, he meshes well with Costello, particularly on the upbeat "Veronica." iNoi nearly as paiataoie to tne masses is the full-length debut from Ciccone Youth. The Whitey Album (Enigma Records) features members of Sonic Youth and Firehose on a work best described as eclectic. The Program. fitness foi By J. A. MAIERS Staff writer Students seeking better understanding of weight management and nutrition are heading for the Open Door. Lisa Zucker, director of the Open Door Health Education Program, said "not everyone out there correlates weight management with fitness, but we know how important it is. When ever we talk with someone about weight management, we talk about fitness." Wednesday began a six-week program on weight management.

Chris Tuton, a graduate student conducting another weight management class, said, "Our goal is toward the acquisition for long-term weight management skills. It is getting people to acquire a different outlook on weight management." The Open Door program is based on the wellness philosophy.

(next to Sandy's Hot Dogs) band takes its name from top-40 superstar Madonna's last name, and, as sort of a tribute, they cover her "Burnin' Up" and "Into the Groovey" (sic). The latter features sampled bits of Madonna's original recording, doing battle with layer upon layer of distorted guitar noise. In addition, the group also does an interesting cover of Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love," featuring a wonderfully detached reading by Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon. Don't get the wrong idea; the album features more than weird cover tunes, but the covers give a good indication that the band doesn't take itself very seriously.

I'm a bit behind on this next one, but Tiny Light's Hazel Wreath (Gaia Records) is so good that I can't let it get past me again. Sounding a bit like the Pogues and Camper Van Beethoven,* with a dash of The Bangles and a touch of Syd Barrett thrown in for good measure, you can just about find something to please everyone on this disc. Using a variety of instruments, the band sounds completely different from one song to the next. The instrumental "Wickerman's Dog" wouldn't sound too out of place on a Waterboys album, while "Red Planet" has some backward tape loops that could have come off a Butthole Surfer record. At the same time, a good number of the songs feature poppy female vocals that wouldn't sound out of place on a top-40 single. Highly recommended. introduces r students 1 I gram is educating students on healthy living. "The object of the class is not to put the students on a diet; it is only to educate them on what they can do to lead a healthier life. The class provides students with the right information, but allows them to be the final decision-maker on how they live." It is difficult to measure success with a program like the one at Open Door, because unlike other programs, there is not a goal for quick weight loss. The class offered by Zucker meets every Wednesday from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. There is a $10 deposit for students that is returned if the student attends five of the six classes. There is a $15 charge for faculty and | staff. The drop-in center, located in the Student Health Center, is open Monday thru Thursday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The center has weight scales, brochures on health and fitness and someone to measure your blood pressure and body fat percentage. 7S " I MK ^ I Sunglasses n Bausch & Lomb _ I GLASSES WITH PE OF GLASSES ALITY, OR CONDITION : MOST UNUSUAL TRADE IN.

Instead of succumbing to the Sand Man, the psychology junior was determined to finish studying before she went to bed. Now for the burning question: Did Hope do the right thing? Yes, it is better to finish studying late in the night than to get up extra-early, said leading sleep deprivation researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. By going to bed by 3:30 a.m., Hope avoided what researchers call "the critical zone of vulnerability" between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. During this time circadian rhythms are at their lowest, and body temperature, kidney, heart, breathing and mental functions ebb. (Students who habitually stay up until 2 or 3 a.m. will experience this low point a little later, between 5 and 7 a.m.). "I had a paper due at 9 a.m., so 1 went to bed around midnight, so I could get up early and work on it," Vanessa Grim, a journalism senior, said. Grim said she disagrees with the researchers' findings. "I'd much rather get a good night sleep and start fresh in the morning. "Staying up that late threw off my sleeping schedule for a couple of days," Hope said. "1 slept during the day to catch up." Researchers call catching up on sleep "phase shifting." The human day runs a little longer than 24 hours. People tend to get up a little later r-llRM V I S I ON C Bring this ad to H. Rubin Street location for speci students and faculty.

In the midafternoon, your body tends toward a natural 'siesta,' especially after a sleepless night. Grim also tried to catch up on lost sleep. "1 went home after my last class and crashed," Grim said. Both Grim and Hope said they would stay up all night if they had to. "If I needed to, I would not go to sleep at all. The last time 1 did that, though, I felt awful," Hope said. "We do a lot of studies with college students staying up all night," David Dinges of the University of Pennsylvania was quoted in the Boston Globe as saying, "and they think they can do it. But they show massive deterioration. I advise them not to pull all-nighters. I don't care how far behind you are on the course, at least get four hours of sleep. Your efficiency is so low, especially in the 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. zone, that it's hopeless." Researchers from th& University of Pennsylvania offer these suggestions to students staying up extra late. Don't drive. If you must drive, take breaks, drink coffee, converse. Research shows that conversation may be the strongest stimulant of all. Caffeine will make you more alert, while meals with heavy carbohydrates, like pasta, rice and potatoes, tend to make people sleepy.
