Literacy
benefit s
By DESAREE T. HOLLINS d
Staff Writer e
Literacy Awareness Week began ji
Monday, and USC's Campus Coalition
for Literacy is trying to raise ti
attention to America's greatest cri- p
sis ? illiteracy. e
Another of Literacy Awareness s
Wflfclr's (male is tn opt mnm shi
dent involvement in helping others ji
to read and write, or help fellow v
citizens to be functionally literate. n
By attracting attention to the na- c
tional illiteracy problem, Literacy
Awareness Week aims to encour-r u
age people to make a change. V
One way students can help make S
a change is by training to become I
a tutor. Students can leam to teach b
others to read through programs b
such as the Campus Coalition for tl
Literacy, founded by Rajan Shah.
In programs such as this, the inability
to fill out applications for 1
employment or follow simple in- f
structions will hopefully be a thing 1
of the past for many individuals. F
Fifty-five students are trained to 3
teach this year.
'The experience to help is pretty
exciting," said Sarah Cobbs, presiSo,

pointed out, "It's a great imlact
on our lives ... the experince
is beneficiary not only to the
tudent but to the tutor as well."
The illiteracy problem does not
ust affect a selected few ? it inolves
everyone. It does not discrininate
against race, religion or soioeconomic
class.
In efforts to create a better
nderstanding on campus about the
iteracy problem in the United
Itates, the Campus Coalition for
.iteracy will expose presentations,
tanners on Greene Street, flyers,
irochures and advertisements
hroughout the week.
Tonight, Campus Coalition for
literacy will sponsor the Literacy
"orum and Information Session,
"he forum will take place at 7
?.m. in the Russel House room
105.
Illiteracy being a disability is a
myth. Illiteracy being a problem,
however, is a fact.

I Ice Man chills
at Township
By TRINA SHERMAN
Staff Writer
Vanilla Ice performed at the Township Auditorium in front of a
sellout crowd Sunday.
Upon my arrival, I was almost trampled by hundreds of
teeny boppers screaming at the top of their prepubescent lungs. Many
were accompanied by their confused-looking parents. My friend Leslie
and I had seats in the top balcony, but I managed to get into the front
row.
Within minutes of our arrival, a thundering prelude to the concert
was followed by "Workin' It" The stage was much too small to accommodate
the enormous speakers. As a result, Vanilla Ice and his
V.I.P. (Vanilla Ice Posse) Dancers were left with only a small area to
perform.
They dazzled the audience with their dancing, which at times was
extremely sexually suggestive. Some parents in the crowd seemed embarrassed
to watch the show with their kids.
I was suprised such a young, New-Kids-on-the-Block-type crowd
composed the Ice man's primary fans. There were very few collegians
present.
My ears were ringing more from the shrieking prepubescent screams
than from standing in front of Vanilla Ice's speakers.
He performed all but two songs from his LP To the Extreme including
"Ice, Ice Baby" and his encore "Play That Funky Music." Also, he
performed a rap version of "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones.
The concert was long considering the relatively few songs he performed.
A good amount of time was taken up by boring, obviously
rehearsed dialogue between Vanilla Ice and his D J. DeShay in between
songs.
Vanilla Ice, whose real name is Robby Van Winkle, tried to make
his fans feel sympathy for him for all of the abuse the media has inflicted
upon him, including abuse from Arsenio Hall. Poor Ice. A surge
of sensitivity prompted a poem: "No matter what they say, or what they
do, I will always have beautiful fans like you." How sappy.
Overall, I was disappointed. However, there were times when I was
having fun (like when I almost caught a sweaty towel from Vanilla
Ice). Conversely, there were times when I was looking at my watch,
h waiting for the concert to end.
e Vanilla Ice is a young performer with a lot of potential that may
