The store, which is o sells new and used cd's, records Recylcei ERICKA ANN WILSON Staff Writer Most students only hope to get a good job after graduation; others make it happen by opening their own businesses. That is exactly what USC graduates Dan Cook and Chris Bickel did when they opened their compact disc store, New Clear Days, in June of 1994. New Clear Days specializes in hardto-find alternative, punk and independent labels, Bickel said. They mainly buy and sell used CDs, but they also carry new CDs by local independent artists. CDs range in price from $5 to $8.50. In addition to CDs, they have a selection of vinyl records and cassettes. Opening New Clear Days was basically a spur of the moment idea that Bickel and Cook had a week to act on. "I don't think it ever entered either of our minds as students," Cook said. Both Bickel and Cook took out loans IMPROVE YOUR NIGHT LIFE. Many accidents are caused by car drivers who didn't see the cyclists. Wear reflective gear and bright clothing.

"Basically, we were buying the stock from an existing CD business," Cook said. "Then we changed the name, did some repair work and got business licenses." Cook's feelings about owning a business were twofold. "It's pretty scaiy and extremely gratifying," he said. "It is always changing, and there are lots of record stores in the Columbia are," Cook said. Lower prices, convenient location and their stock of hard-to-find selections set New Clear Days apart from other music stores, bickel said. "We would love to expand, but it's not a possibility in the foreseeable future," Cook said. New Clear Days is located at 919 Sumter St. Their phone number is 2544818.

You might wonder what his motivation has been. Is he an arms dealer? Is he a terrorist? Is he nuts? Actually, he's a software programmer trying to protect your right to privacy. You have probably never heard of him. You were probably too busy watching O.J. But you should get to know him. Ihe cause he stands for, namely the right to private telecommunication for all, is one of the most important issues of our time. His name is Philip Zimmerman, and last week he learned the U.S. attorney's office in San Jose, Calif, was dropping its invpstitratinn nf him aftpr a 1 mast two and a half highly publicized years. Zimmerman, 41, was investigated because a sophisticated software encryption scheme he created, called Pretty Good Privacy (PGP), had been exported outside of the United States. U.S. law regards cryptography software and devices as munitions, and it prohibits advanced cryptography created in this country from being T _ P1 ' Cj.

For years New York was supposed to be the next big thing, but because of grunge, punk or the Snoop Doggy Clones, NY never garnered attention like Seattle or California. If they didn't open it, CIV at least got NY's foot in the door last fall, bringing hardcore into the living rooms of the MTV generation. Shift recently released their first full-length album, "Spacesuit," on Equal mawm NEW YORK ? B.B. King may be the King of the Blues, but when he listens to music, it's country, gospel, rock 'n' roll, rap and classical. "I'm a big fan of (Luciano) Pavarotti's," King said.

This was viewed rather melodramatically by 1 the Justice Department as the dissemination of a "munition" and led to the investigation of Zimmerman. The law against cryptography export and the investigation of Zimmerman have both been ill-conceived exercises in futility. The federal government has been naive (surprise!) in the belief it can regulate the spread of software. It doesn't xt Nirvana or ju Vision Records, the follow-up to last year's "Pathos" EP.
