HOROSCOPES
AKIta You knowhow
sometimes you can’t think of
the right words? That’s
becoming less of a problem.
Unless, of course, you have to
say goodbye.
TAURUS The more you work,
the more money you’ll make.
Luckily, there’s no shortage of
work for those who are willing
to do whatever it takes.
GEMINI You’re brilliant,
charming, witty, coy. Are you
in love? If you’re not, you could
be soon. You’re irresistible!
CANCER You’ve had long
enough to think things over.
Now, it’s time for action.
You know that’s true
because you re growing
impatient.
LEO You might have been shy
about expressing your true
feelings. You’ll see that being
emotional can be fun.
VIRGO Pay your bills in such a
way as to leave more in your
pocket. You might need it to fix
something that breaks this
weekend.
LIBRA Somebody else is
providing the motivation
and sense of urgency. You’re
the brains behind the
operation.
SCORPIO Continue to ponder
and plan. You can fit in a little
daydreaming, too.
saui 11 AKiub bomenow, an m
trials and tribulations you’ve
been through simply fade
away. The impossible looks
easy again.
CAPRICORN People expect you
to be in control. Just tell them
what to do, and they’ll
probably do it.
AQUARIUS Push past your old
limits — don’t wait a moment
longer. Trade a favorite
fantasy for something better i:
real life.
PISCES Shopping is still a
dominant theme. Hold out for
the very best deal on an
expensive item. Resist the
frills.
world Night to close International Week
BY VANESSA CAOILE
THE GAMECOCK
The International Student
Association and Student
Government will take USC
and Columbia residents
tonight on a global trip called
World Night 2002. Sponsored
by ISA and SG, World Night is
the culmination of USC’s
International Week.
ISA Vice President Kiti
Kajana said, “ISA is very proud
of this event, and we all want
the USC students and everyone
else to come and share this
excitement with us.”
Kicking off the night will be a
performance by the male a
capella group Higher Harmony.
International student groups
will perform traditional dances,
including exotic dances from
Spain, Africa and the
Philippines. According to
Filipino American Student
Association President Jason
Pizarro, students will perform
Tinikling, the Philippines’
national dance, using bamboo
poles.
ISA will also serve foods
from around the world.
Whether you crave spicy or
salty foods, there will be many
selections, including Greek and
Thai foods.
After stuffing yourself with all
that food, work it all off by
jamming to the World Night
party. Salsa, techno, hip-hop,
African mixes—you name it,
they play it.
Rohit Bhatia, ISA president
and a junior from Zambia,
said, “World Night is a chance
for USC to experience how the
rest of the world lives, eats
and parties.” Having
prepared since November,
Bhatia thinks all of ISA’s and
SG’s dedication and hard
work put into this celebration
will pay off. So why not give
your Friday night a cultural
blast and party with
Columbia as USC celebrates
World Night?
World Night will be held on
in the Russell House Ballroom.
Doors will open at 7 p.m., and
the event will last until 1 a.m.
Tickets are $3 with a USC ID
and $5 for the general public.
Food is sold separately.

Doc Sommers

bers decided the band would be
nothing less than professional.
“Our goal is to be able to do
this for a living,” Mack Brock
said. “God’s called us to music
and ministry, and in order to do
that and support yourself, you
have to be on a scale larger than
just the local scene.”
But becoming known outside
of the local scene is no easy task.
That’s where the band’s mature
attitude and developed vision
have played a vital role in at
tracting fans and, hopefully,
those higher up.
“From the very beginning, we
have always wanted to be profes- •
sional,” Tyler said. “Your first im
pression stays with people for a
long time, and, since we want to
do this for a living, we wanted to
make sure that that impression
was as professional as possible.”
To make that desired impres
sion, the band recorded a three
song demo CD in the summer of
2000 just outside of Nashville for
fans and anyone else who comes
to its shows.
“We had never played a show
going into that recording ses
sion,” Tyler said. “We really
wanted to start off right.”
The very next week, however,
the band traveled to Pennsylvania
to start playing shows, which only
got the ball rolling. Today, it can sell
out some of the local places it plays.
“Our fans are very dedicated,”
Tyler said, “and they worship
right along with us. We’re really
close to a lot of our fans; we want
to know them one on one.”
Taking the next step toward
finding a record label, the band
took to Nashville again to record
another three-song EP. Surprising
a lot of people, the band opted not
to pay for a mediocre-sounding
full-length CD, but for a profes
sional EP as a springboard.
“It wasn’t logical for us to record
a full-length,” Mack said, “because
the goal of this demo is to pitch th ’
music to different labels.”
Tonight, the band is releasing
its much-anticipated “Jones EP
at Jammin’Java.
“I’m pretty relaxed about it.”
Mary said. “We haven’t manipu
lated anyone so far, so I’m not too
worried about it.
“But I feel like the stage is set.”

Easter Bunny
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5
Rebirth, renewal, resurrec
tion. Our holiday emerges from
a twisted tree of shared and bor
rowed religious symbols, but it
all fits, thematically.
The first edible Easter bunnies
were made of pastry and sugar in
Germany during the 1800s. In that
respect, we’re not far off from the
Egyptian Osiris tradition. Watch
your friends this Easter to see
which part of the chocolate bun
ny they chomp off first.
And it was the Germans who
brought the “Oschter Haws”
(Easter Bunny) to America when
they settled in the Pennsylvania
Dutch country during the 1700s.
Now, even the White House pays
tribute to the bunny with its an
nual Easter Egg Roll, advertised
by a bright pink rabbit who car
ries a basket of eggs and patriot i
cally waves his American flag on
George W.’s lawn.
