After all the summer hoopla about 2 Live Crew and the subsequent, obnoxious banning of all rap concerts at the Coliseum, it would seem fitting to bring the top-selling rapper in the nation to the Coliseum to celebrate the return of rap. Tonight, it's Hammer time. MTV Video Music Award winner and Grammy winner M. C. Hammer has already fostered three of his songs to the top of the charts. However, "Can't Touch This" won him much of his recognition and fame. Musically, Hammer received some help from Prince and Rick James on his latest album, and because of it, he's been able to put his style of rap into an already profitable position. However, look for Hammer to begin the night with "Let's Get it Started" off of his old album and then slowly wind into songs off the new album. Also, ne s Known to shock his fans with those twisting moves he's so famous for. So be wary. At a live performance, M. C. Hammer will probably explode. He's got some great openers to make sure you enjoy the show. Vanilla Ice will cool you off with some Ice, Ice, Baby." This newcomer's definitely got it going. En Vogue will be there for those who want to hear actual singing and melodizing. So just hold on to your seats and get ready to party. It's sure , to be a blast.

Holderman, apparently caused a fraternity fundraising strip tease show to end prematurely when it was broken up by campus police Monday evening. The party was broken up by campus police, who said a complaint was phoned in to Holderman about a noisy party, according to David McNair, Sigma Alpha Epsilon president. Earlier that evening, someone phoned campus police, saying there were going to be "hookers" in the SAE lounge, McNair said. "The police found both complainants to be invalid.," McNair said. "We cleared the first complaint over the phone with them, and they came over here and checked out the second one, and found nothing wrong." An unidentified fraternity member, who was in charge of the event, said the strip show was supposed to be a pledge class fund-raising project. "We were going to charge a dollar to get in. We had the whole thing cleared with a lawyer, the campus police and the McBiyde area office," he said. "Our president registered the party with Student Affairs," the member said. "We had the go-ahead to do it, just as long as we kept the noise down." The unified SAE member said the show consisted of two dancers doing two sets each. While dancing, the girls were doing a burlesque act," he said. There were 150 people in the lounge when the show was raided, according to the member. "We didn't advertise it around campus," he said. "We wanted to limit the attendance to the quad area. We didn't let anybody know about it until 8 p.m. that evening." 3ft, that's all i >, > - SPECIAL TO THE GAMECOCK re he visited the football field during the n campaigning for re-election. id, R- Ford then took the podium, invittered ing all at the reception to the hoped-for over- Ford inauguration in January, urse.
