Staley CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 magazine, Staley spoke of how his drug use influenced his lyrics. “I wrote about drugs, and I didn’t think I was being unsafe or careless by writing about them,” he told the magazine. “Here’s how my thinking pattern went: When I tried drugs, they were (expletive) great, and they worked for me for years, and now they’re turning against me — and now I’m walking through hell, and this sucks.” l The group’s first album, “Facelift,” was released in 1990. It later released “Dirt” and “Alice in Chains.” The group’s hits included “Man in the Box,” “Them Bones,” “Rooster,” and “Would?” The latter song was partly inspired by the 1990 heroin overdose death of Andrew Wood, singer of the seminal grunge group Mother Love Bone. Staley’s body was found just over eight years after Cobain was found dead in his Seattle home of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Heroin was found in Cobain’s bloodstream, and his head had been so mutilated that he could not be immediately identified. In the 1996 interview, Staley reflected on Cobain’s death: “I saw all the suffering that Kurt Cobain went through. I didn’t know him real well, but I just saw this real vibrant person turn into a real shy, timid, withdrawn person who could hardly get a ‘hello’ out.... At the end of the day or at the end of the party, when everyone goes home, you’re stuck with yourself.” Comments on this story?

Earth Day CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 generation, we forget how to care for the earth,” said Associate Dean Gwen Geidel, who wants this year’s events to make a dif ference in such thinking. “We still need to recognize that the earth can only accommodate so much.” Opportunities to learn about and act on environmental issues remain long after Earth Day ends. “It’s an ongoing proposi tion,” Geidel said about the need to uncover the existing problems and work toward find ing and implementing potential solutions. The curriculum at USC pro vides ample ways to learn more. There are classes in English, economics, and nu merous sciences that center on environmental issues. Campus organizations like Students Allied for a Green Earth also advance environ mental awareness. For the students who may not currently be enrolled in such classes or involved in such orga nizations, Geidel said she hopes they will use the festival as a starting point. “I hope every student will take the opportunity to stop and real ize that we can’t take Earth for granted,” Geidel said. “We should act to sustain the earth now and the future. ” The School of the Environment, SAGE, USC Facilities Management, the Housing Department, and the Sustainable Universities have been organizing the festival since January.
