USC ? Over the years, there has :
been no shortage of philosophies 1
intended to explain the human con- J
dition.
Sonia Frank, one of
the two core members
of the acoustic band disappear
fear, has her
own.
"It seems like what's
between people is fear,"
she said. "Once that
isn't an issue, people just relax and 1
they're together. I believe in the '
issue of disappear fear beyond
show business, beyond the glamour <
and the entertainment aspect. I ]
believe it to the core." i
Sonia and her sister, Cindy, ^
formed disappear fear in 1988, <
although they had been writing
music together for years before. i
"Basically, disappear fear is i
Sonia Frank," Cindy said. "She <
does all the writing, all the arrang
ing. ine rest 01 us are just peopie ;
who love music and want to help
and participate." '
Disappear fear was originally 1
intended to be the name of a rape 1
crisis center, Cindy said. The cen- !
ter decided not to use it, but the ;
name stuck with the band. 1

mirth. Plimpton described Dickey |
as the author ot the chilling novel, i
"Deliverance."
"It might be a bad idea to go on
Ian extended trip with Jim,"
Plimpton said. "Judging from his
works, things tend to happen!"
USC President John Palms also
applauded Dickey's creative spirit.
"For anyone who has grown up
in the South, the name James
Dickey has a certain aura," he said.
Monroe Spears. Dickey's teacher
at Vanderbilt University, said,
"Every teacher should have a stu
dent like James Dickey."
I At the end of the evening,
Dickey read from "To the White
Sea" and "The Drift-Spell": "Under
moss the color of her eyes, and like
them full of the drift-spell. Moss,
son, is the grey part of silver, moving
as though found in air."
Dickey said of his life's literary
triumphs, "If you think this is
good, you should have seen it
