By The College Press Service < National Lampoon, once the paradigm of outra- ' geous, hip and happily mean collegiate humor, is trying to make a comeback. Here's how it started: s "We're going for a newer, younger staff. We want * to draft kids right out of college," said public relations ] representative Mike Venema. 1 Next, the company is heading to Daytona Beach to ^ build an "Animal House" at the local Howard Johnson motel, where students on spring break can play v "swimsuit twister," dance, hear comedy acts, watch L movies, play volleyball and, needless to say, read (10,000 free copies of what the magazine's new owners say is a funnier version of the publication that fell a on hard times during the '80s. A "We've always had a strong franchise among col- b lege students and educated professionals," said Mi- ai chael Carr, former ad director for Playboy and the Lampoon's newly hired publisher. pi However, the magazine's popularity began slipping fa in the mid-1980s, and the new owners of the Lampoon 1< O How We Need You! ? i 3 NIGHTS gg| T* 5? 5J 144 CLEAN RC POOL - PUB - F 3/11/90 thru 4/21/90 6 m}les t0 BEA 1-2 persons , ?50 seeurit K deposit per pe: B* BPSBB II W I^I^HK * W*' *?WH^I a? 2,4 ;#. ?>!&*"^ f "^>r:r:::-...-.. ffl|%x//i : ^h - y HA ?j VW| ving into Columbia Wed., March 21 and pic nun fhnttnm |pftl anH M^n Ri^u . r y f 1 ? .V4VV40 \UUUU I I I I s new audient ire trying all sorts of marketing strategies 1 ntroduce itself to the college audience.

Pearson is not the only one whc enjoys Norman's singing. "Looking at her and listening tc her sing is an incredible experience," Martha Constantino, director of USC-Aiken's Etherredge Center, said. "When I last saw her perform, I really believe someone could have hit me and I wouldn't have known. She's mesmerizing". Norman, an Augusta, Ga., native who has been performing professionally for 31 years, sang the revolutionaries' solidarity song, "Marseillaise," at last year's 200 anniversary celebration of the French Revolution. She has also performed in large cities throughout the world including New York, Philidelphia, Tokyo, Berlin, London and Vienna. Last year she opened the seasons for the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and the New York Symphony Orchestra and sang lead parts in several opera productions. "In these days, she's what you'd call a superstar," music Professor Evelyn McGarrity said. While Norman fans from around the region are expected to come to the performance, tickets are still available for the performance, Pearson said. "I've no doubt that it would be sold out if all the students were going to be here.

I Former Koger Center Director Tom Stepp arranged Norman's performance four years ago. Jessye Norman "When you're offerred a date for a performer like her, you arrange the calendar around it," Pearson said. "Watching her on television and listening to her recordings is wonderful, but you miss out on something by not seeing her live," Constantino said. "She does phenomenal things with her voice and does them with an ease that I have not seen in any other singer." Norman will sing at the Koger Center at 8 p.m. March 14. Tickets at $18, $16 and $14 and are available at the coliseum and at all SCAT outlets. <X NOW TRY THE BEST! ?. Team sporis *e,s .
