Five hundred and sixty-six participants gathered on

To win official recognition from the Guiness Book

stay lip locked for 10 seconds. Sponsored by Mankato's
student paper, The Reporter, contestants easily
outdid Syracuse's relatively chaste mark of 400 kissers
set last summer.

'Tongues were flyin' everywhere," participant John

festive for Homecoming. Whoever thought it up was

But the event was not without controversy. Women's
rugby club members protested the event because
it took place on the rugby field, and some
claimed vehicles left "ankle-deep" impressions on the

Nevertheless, Pucker Breaker organizers said they
will still compile all their registration documentation,

Lead singer brings
alternative sounds

Murray Attaway
By WILL MAHAN

.
If you were one of the several thousand USC students who did not get
a ticket for this weekend's Clemson-Carolina game, the Carolina Program
Union has an alternative for you.
Murray Attaway, former lead singer of Guadalcanal Diary, will perform
in the Golden Spur at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
Attaway is on a tour of the Southeast, taking his style of alternative
music to small clubs frequented by college students. Unlike the usual
touring done by artists, however, Attaway is not touring to support an
album but to develop songs in a live setting to be included on an album
due out in the first half of 1991.
Attaway has 25 new songs to pick through for the album and wants
his newer songs to be played in front of a live audience before he decides
which to put on the album.
'The show will be half new songs and half material from Guadalcanal
Diary," Attaway said, adding that he will not be able to perform all of
the new songs at Saturday's performance.
Guadalcanal Diary originated in Decatar, Georgia, around 1980. They
released two albums, Watusi Radio and Walking in the Shadow of the
Big Man, on independent labels before signing with Elektra Records. The
three albums that followed gave Guadalcanal Diary critical acclaim in the
United States and Europe.
Although several of their records gained acceptance at album rock radio,
widespread commercial success evaded them. Instead, they garnered
a solid base of fans and toured until their break-up in 1989, which was
caused by the desire of individual band members to pursue separate
goals.
After the dissolution of Guadalcanal Diary, Murray switched to Geffen
records, which he described as supportive of his musical efforts, granting
him free reign to create the style of music he prefers.
After the album is completed, Attaway plans to tour nationwide. He
will also take his tour to Europe for his first performances there in five
years.
Attaway's performance is free to students with a USC I.D. and $4 for
the general public. It is presented by the Golden Spur Program and Contemporary
Sounds.
