Summer is back or just aroui
the corner, and along with it com
the first Inspiral Carpets album
two years. Believe me, it's som
thing to cheer about.
If you've never heard of Inspii
Carpets, the band sort of souni

with a little bit of organ reminisce
of the Doors' Ray Manzarek, pi
cool lyrics to hum to.

Then, delight in the swirty organ g
work the band is famous for. It's this
organ stuff that defines and makes a
the Manchester sound easy to recognize
and, quite possibly, easy to
imitate.
My favorite tracks on the album
include the first single, "Plutoman,"
'Lovegrove" and "Just Wednesday."
But I must say that the whole package
is very satisfying and just in time

The clumsy but lovable Frank

jart of collective culture. Hitting parkng

He would probably say "thank you"

The ZAZ comedy team (Zuckers,
Graham, Zuckers), who introduced
he world to "Airplane!," "Top Secret!,"
ind "Hot Shots!," continue their tralition
of supplying at least one belly 1
augh every 30 seconds. They are true j:
nasters who can't be touched by the
ikes of "Fatal Instinct" and "Loaded s
Weapon." Their jokes are wearing a litle
thin, however.
Perhaps unknowingly, the filmmak:rs
of "Naked Gun 33 1/3" have abanloned
their formulaic cops-and-bad- c

"Naked Gun 33 1/3" wavers on the
lelicate tightrope between high-brow

research says
cover something unusual after surveying
122 college students with an
average age of 19.3 years and a second
group of 99 faculty members and
staff.
The link between rock and negative
attitudes was present in the older
group of staff and faculty. However,
among faculty and staff, depression,
anxiety and hostility also were associated
with classical music.
Stratton and Zalanowski said it was
uncertain whether the music actually
induced negative moods or whether
sadder, more anxious people were attracted
to rock and classical music.

Clousseau. His Frank Drebin has retired
from Police Squad, and he has
taken up ironing, soap operas and
cooking in his spare time. Priscilla
Presley plays his working wife, a

Of course, Drebin leaves retirement
to stop a terrorist, played by Fred

prison to find out what is being plotted.
One of the characters he meets is
Tonya, played by Playboy Playmate Anna
Nicole Smith. She's a kitschy addition
to a bizarre cast that includes
gameshow hostess Vanna White,
spunky gymnast Mary Lou Retton and
Anne Davis (Alice from "The Brady

made me laugh. It starts strong and
becomes wearing as it continues.
Once again, it's worth your while to
stay and watch the credits. Along with
the dolly operator and the key operator
is "smooth operator" Sen. Bob
Packwood. Other faux credits are
thrown in to see if we're paying attention
(sound mixer, fbley mixer, fraternity
mixer...)
"Naked Gun 33 1/3" is a lot of fun.
It's by no means a great movie, nor is
it up to par with its predecessors. But
half of the jokes work, and they really
are funny.
