Random Patterns The semester is ending. You can tell it's exam time by the way your friends are changing. Simply because everything is climaxing, the most conventional and calm person tends to metamorphose over night, becoming a semi-psychopathic studier ? all of this because he is borderlining between a C and a B-minus in one of his classes. These people are easy to detect by the way they walk to class, keeping their heads hung low to the ground, and their pace tends to be unbelievably slow, as if they have weights bound to their feet. It leads to you asking your walking mate, "That guy sure looked withdrawn. Do you think he was on drugs or in love?" Matter of fact-ishly, your friend answers, "No, I know him. He's a borderliner. Leave him alone." Exams have one of two effects on me. They can make me either stare or clean. With the most dedicated and best intentions in the world, I sit to study. I spread out my books, organize my notes, look at the course syllabus, and I even compute my average to find exactly how I stand in the class. Everything is neat, set, damn near perfect. Then, I freeze. My body becomes stone-like, and my eyes fixate on something, it can be anything; my calculator's keys; a plug-in; a curtain rod ? it doesn't matter. I just stare at it. When my place is dirty, I have a reason not to study. If I ignore the mess and attempt to crack the books, my mind refuses to stop thinking about the mold around my toliet rim, or the dishes piling dangerously high in the sink. The dust on my TV screen seems to call my name. Eventually, I have to give in. My books are put aside, and I arm myself with my Glass-Plus. Everything gets rubbed down, whether it's dirty or not, and my place becomes spotless. All in the name of education. It never fails. Everyone starts having parties during exam time. During the semester, you can drive yourself oatty trying to tind a party.

College parties always amaze me. No matter how good or bad the party is, I know that something is bound to happen to me. It's just a matter of time. Whatever happens at these parties may not appear monumental at the time, but once at home the next day, I start laughing, thinking, "Did that really happen? It's a strange world. ..." I long for those carefree days when parties were simple and fun; those days when your parents handled the planning. All that you had to do was have fun. You had to wear some crazy pointed hat, blow out some candles, open a lot of presents, and nin the tail- while hlinHfr?lHt?H r?n some goofy little donkey. Your only concerns were not getting the biggest piece of cake, G. I. Joe or Barbie accessories you asked for. College parties aren't like this; no one cares about cake slice-sizes, G. I. Joes or even Barbies. Finally at exam time, I get more religious. I used to attend church while visiting my daddy in Simpsonville. I felt that it was the least I could do. One day, this big lady wobbled into our church and sat beside me and my dad on the back pew. She spoke to dad and then looked at me. She said, "You don't remember me, do you?" I didn't. So, softly I said, "No." I didn't want to seem interested in sparking up a conversation since the choir had begun to sing. Still, she continued, "Your mama and daddy went to the beach with us when your mama was carrying you." I shook my head, hoping she'd stop there. She didn't. "Yeah, " she said too loudly. "She almost killed both of you; she swam out there and got carried under by one of those big waves, and they almost never got her pulled out of the ocean. When they did, she was spitting up blood; it was a mess." Here I was in church, out of my niche, wearing a tie that was cutting off my air supply, and some fat, loud lady was talking over the hymns about how I was almost killed before birth because my pregnant mama felt a little wild and swam too far into the sea. I felt trapped in church; I felt anxious. When the preacher said, "Let us pray," I shut my eyes so tight they hurt. I prayed that the man upstairs had a good sense of humor, and that somehow, he understood me. At exam time, I feel the exact same way. But with exams, as I learned at my day at church, it's all a matter of duration. Something that I think we all can handle. Plan now and good luck. Until next week. . . . */s "jli^ $1.00 OFF ANY ORDER OF $7.00 OR MORE irery - 739 COCK jpon per person per visit SITACT LENSES fer Includes: initial examination ?including eye health test first pair of disposable lenses. glasses prescription iformation call 777-2569 Q-L43 ORUM ievisions: r for Students 1:30 - 5:30 PM )USE 203 'tudents are attend. r Coliseun potent ti By TODD HINES Features editor There is a God, and he's smiling on Columbia. At least he will be Tuesday night when the capital city will host probably the most potent rock triple bill of the year. Cinderella, Winger and Bullet Boys join forces for the one-night show in Carolina Coliseum as they continue their nationwide tour. All three bands are making waves on the rock scene, with Winger and Bullet Boys two of the most powerful newcomers. Both bands will be promoting their albums released late in 1988. Cinderella will be promoting their second album, Long Cold Winter (PolyGram Records) and are the headliners of the show. Their new album is a blues-based compilation with hints of classic bluesmen like Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson. The songs also incorporate hints of early '70s bands like the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and Led Zepplin.

It peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard music chart in 1986. Bullet Boys had humble beginnings in South Los Angeles before they were touched by the golden finger of producer Ted Templeman (Van Halen and Montrose). After hearing their brand of "soulful metal," he signed them on t-he spot. They released Bullet Boys (Warner Bros. Records) this past September and are already being acclaimed as one of the top bands this year. From hanging in the shadows of Alice Cooper to appearing on the MTV New Years Eve special, Kip Winger and Paul Taylor have come a long way in a short time.
