Crowd appre off for USC c By KATHY HEBERGER Staff Writer Four years of running your heartbeat up to "2001" every Saturday can be tough on the body, but not on the spirit, USC cheerleaders said. "It's addictive," fourth-year cheerleader Jody Morris said. "Since I've been into cheering, I've realized how much I love sports. I changed my major from rivil pnmnpprino (ft rrnvhanifol /*n_ itiwiiuuiVUl V/lt gineering so I qan go into sports design," the fifth-year senior said. College cheering is a big change from high school cheering, sophomore varsity cheerleader Celeste Altman said. "It's definitely more of a sport here," she said. Freshman junior varsity cheerleader Candy Nagal agrees. "Very few high schools have coed squads. Partner stunts like single extensions weren't a part of high school cheering," she said. i "I've always wanted to be a USC cheerleader. I knew cheering here will be great because Carolina fans always have spirit," she said.

Our main goal is to get the fans going," Altman said Getting the crowd involved is great, according to senior Darrell Landy, a varsity cheerleader. "I like the crowd. It's incredible. The pre-game opening is the best; the enthusiasm is in the air, and it's fantastic," he said. Landy, a transfer from a small college, said facing the Williams Brice crowd for the first time was impressive. "I was very nervous. Going from a crowd of about 10,000 to 70,000 was a big change,"* he said. Before they get to the games, the two squads have two-hour practices Monday through Friday, with an extra hour of weighdifting every other day for the varsity. The friendship among squad members keeps cheering enjoyable, Altman said. "We have a lot of fun together. There's no inner squad.

He pauses under a bridge to challenge another biker to a race along the waterfront. Nick wins, humiliating his shaggy opponent with daredevil speed. That lets us know that Nick is a dangerous man to tangle with. We soon learn he is also a cop in trouble, under investigation for skimming money from the loot of crooks he arrests. Is this the kind of officer who should be escorting a vicious Yakuza killer to the authorities in * Japan?. Nick's bosses think he is, and that sets up the premise of Black Rain, a standard replay of the cop-on-a-strange-beat formula. Michael Douglas brings star presence to the role of Nick Conklin, though limited by a script that portrays him as a foul-mouthed bully. He is regenerated, sort of, by his partnership with an Osaka detective, the admirable Ken Takakura. This follows an outpouring of mayhem ? stabbings, throatcuttings, self-amputation of fingers, knife through the palm, samurai sword slashings, plus the usual amount of automatic weapons fire. Amateurs are By ELIZABETH FOX Staff writer Just the mention of the word "reggae" brings to mind images of dreadlocks, tie-die, bongo drums and the smooth island beat of bands like The Amateurs. The dance floor and bar at Greenstreet's Sept. 15 teemed with people waiting to see the sevenman band from Greenville, N.C., during their mid-Atlantic tour, which includes areas such as Durham and Chapel Hill, N.C.; Atlanta; Virginia Beach, Va., and New Jersey. The well-known reggae magazine Reggae Report said The Amateurs "have made a good name for themselves," and the performance Friday certainly backed that opinion.

What could have been a simple cross-culture story of a New York cop vs. the Japanese Mafia has been overwhelmed by eye-boggling glimpses of glitzy Osaka. As a director, Ridley Scott has a well-earned reputation as a visual isi [Alien, blade Kunner), and his view of urban Japan is startling. But it doesn't contribute to what's up front. Nor does the script by Craig Bolitin and Warren Lewis offer much novelty. The climax is a summit meeting of the Yakuza in a remote villa, a replay of the Apalachin convention of The Godfather and other films. ' One of the shootouts is staged in a steel mill, another well-worn device. Black Rain erases any doubt that Michael Douglas can handle the flawed Superman role. Andy Garcia, who was impressive as the Italian member of The Untouchables, again admirably fulfills the sidekick role. Kate Capshaw (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom) brightens the film as the nightclub hostess who gives Douglas clues to the underworld. The Paramount Pictures release was produced by Stanley Jaffe and Sherry Lansing. The rating is R for language and violence. i reggae pros Alcorn listened to a lot of country music. The keyboard player studied piano at Berkeley and has a jazz background. The band, led by Bill "Shep" Sheppard and includes Vince Stuart on bass, drummer Ayindle Olaniyan and Mike Kanaly on saxophone, comes together with a variety of material that ranges from originals, such as "What Can I Say?," "Lay It On the Line," and "The Ocean," as well as songs from Bob Dylan, The Talking Heads, Ziggy Marley and Santana. This blend of jazz, rock and country is their greatest strength and the main cause of their popularity. They have been featured in many magazines including This Week Magazine, The Sun-Journal Magazine, The Appalachian and Greenville Times, where they were voted "best local musicians" by a readers' poll. r A T I AL & 27 1.
