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."

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. The

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. The profror

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. After all,
the second song is called "(silence),"

Sonic Youth fans, but others would
do well to pick up Sonic Youth's
Daydream Nation instead.
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.

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.

better, stu
By MATTHEW WEAVER
Staff writer
The night before her big
psychology exam, Kathy Hope
fought off the forces of sleep and
crammed.
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

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.

possible to function for a day or two
on half your normal amount of sleep,
as long as you stay busy.
Take a nap before you stay up.
People who take naps before long
periods of sleeplessness will feel less
tired.
