Tied birds and hung them on
wooden crosses from the roof. A
sign attached to the shanty read,
“There will be no peace until there
are no niggers.” The birds had been
stapled to wooden branches, giving
the appearances of having been cru
cified.
The only explantion ever given
was one in the Bryan-College Station
Eagle, where one of the men in
volved in the incident called the
newspaper, saying he and his friend
had no interest in SAA, and ex
plained why he had placed the pi
geons in the shack.
The story quotes the man as say
ing, “The reason I did it, personally,
is because of a break-in at my house
and it involved black people, and we
have had a lot of problems with
them around where I live.”
In April 1988, a makeshift bomb
made out of a papertowel roll and

MOB continues with its behavior.
“No wonder they call us nerds,
which by the way was their halftime
show,” she wrote. “We accept the
abuse and say, ‘That’s their freedom
of expression, they’re cute.’”
Rice said she was proud our yell
leaders conveyed ‘enough is enough’
without violence, pervertedness or
profanity.
Associate Vice President of Stu
dent Services Malon Southerland
said he thought one reason opinions
were more polled on this issue is “the
fact that some level of incident seems
to be caused by Rice fans, students
or band members almost everytime
A&M and Rice have competitions.”
“It’s too easy to forget that noth
ing would have happened had their
mascot not attempted to go into our
Waste
(Continued from page 4)
Director of Brazos Beautiful Inc.,
Diane Craig, suggested local pro
grams that would help individuals
get involved in waste reduction.
Craig said she hopes to start up lo
cally a program called “Don’t Bag
It,” currently active in Fort Worth
and Plano, which encourages home-
owners to not bag their grass clip
pings but let them lie in the yard.
As an audience member pointed
out, grass clippings and leaves com
prise a large portion of trash added
to the landfill in the summer and fall
months.
Not bagging clippings not only
cuts down on waste, but also is good
for the yard. Craig and an audience
member both said they have used
this method for a number of years
and it actually encourages grass
growth by keeping out insects.
Texas Environmental Action Co
alition Co-President Scott Coles, a
senior at A&M, stressed that educa-

ng a cover version of the
Clash hit, “Should I Stay or Should I
Go,” and added some intensity to the
Talking Heads tune, “The Mem
ories Can’t Wait.” They ended the
show with their first hit, “Cult of
Personality,” which was a crowd
pleaser.
However, the Living Colour set
was not perfect. One imperfection
was a music mix that often failed to
maintain a separation in the notes
from one instrument to the other.
Also, the acoustics of the Astrodome
are bad because it’s enclosed. The
poor mix mostly affected the vocals,
with some of the lyrics being hard to
distinguish. Still, the music was loud
enough and certainly recognizable,
and the group’s energy level made
up for the music-mixing shortcom
ings.
How were the Stones? Great of
course. They played all their hits
and proved why they are music leg

rant.
The sergeant said a transient car
rying his belongings in a backpack
showed up and asked if he was “a
narc.” Zink assured the man he
wasn’t.
Several undercover officers ar
rested Lagan after he allegedly
pulled out the promised hallucino
genic drug, Zink said. Police seized
128 “hits” of LSD in all, along with a
meticulous diary of Lagan’s trips to
Stones concerts nationwide.
Zink said Fagan kicked one of the
arresting undercover officers in the
head and chest while in custody.
“He was real surprised,” Zink
gunpowder was attached to the
shanty. The bomb exploded while
no one was near the shack, and no
damage was done.
Nearly every time SAA builds a
shanty, it’s torn down, then built
back up. Tang said they will rebuild
the shanty early Friday morning.
The SAA’s 10-day permit expires
Wednesday.
But their cause never will expire,
at least, until “every one in South Af
rica is free and racism is abolished,”
Tang said.
SAA finds a purpose closer to
home that encourages A&M’s divest
ment in South Africa. Calculations
made from the University’s portfolio
of its investments two years ago
showed A&M had almost $5.5 mil
lion invested in seven South African
companies.
Supporters of divestment said in
vesting in South Africa’s economy
indirectly helps maintain the policy
of apartheid and racism. Divestment
is an economic sanction that removes
all foreign monetary support from a
country.
band,” Southerland said. “We
should not lose sight of that. From a
University standpoint, though, we
hope our students demonstrate the
greatest level of sportsmanship.
“The Texas A&M student body
does magnificently on almost every
occasion possible. As a general rule,
students represent themselves and
the institute quite well. The impor
tant part is that depending on the
levels of emotions that day, there
was a potential chance for a distur
bance. A yell practice eliminates
that. We started the yell practice and
that was it. That was the end of it.
Looking back, it’s easy to give advise
and easy to say the yell practice
should have ended sooner.”
Southerland said because of the
yell practice not one student came
out of the stand and the volatile situ
ation dissipated.
“I look at that as being a positive
ending,” he said.
tion of adults and especially the
younger generation is crucial to the
success of community programs to
improve the waste situation.
Randy Smith, program coordina
tor for Brazos Valley Museum,
agreed with Coles, adding that in
BVM programs, he encourages
grade-schoolers to do their parts by
turning off unnecessary lights and
conserving energy. Habits learned at
that young age will be passed on to
other family members and contin
ued into adulthood, he said.
Awareness of the problem is es
sential, Smith said, because most
people don’t think about where their
trash goes after it leaves their curb.
The panelists seemed to agree
that solutions are not just up to offi
cials and researchers. As Lisa Keyes,
KBTX-TV anchor and moderator
for the panel, put it, “The solution
of any area’s problems begins with
the individual.”
as an opening act is another example
of how the Stones are trying to con
tribute to rock ’n’ roll.
Living Colour is one of many
black bands that has opened for the
Rolling Stones. The Stones are fa
mous for their respect of the great
influence that black musicians, such
as Chuck Berry and Little Richard,
have had on the development of
rock n’ roll.
During past tours, the Stones have
recruited the talents of black per
formers such as B.B. King, Stevie
Wonder and Prince as opening acts
to expose audiences to the talents of
lesser-known black performers.
Since the death of guitar-master
Jimi Hendrix, a barrier has devel
oped for black musicians perform
ing hard rock. Today, Living Colour
and other black groups such as the
more hardcore 24-7 Spyz are break
ing down this barrier.
With the continued efforts toward
music-making that Living Colour al
ready has displayed, these barriers
will disappear and establish Living
Colour as a significant contributor to
the rock world.
said. “He said, T can’t believe you’re
doing this.’ He thought I was a dppe
fiend but I wasn’t. He thought he’d
be sitting next to me at the concert.”
Fagan was being held Thursday in
the Harris County Jail on charges of
delivery of a controlled substance
and aggravated assault of a police of
ficer. Bonds totaling $30,000 were
set for the man, whose last known
address was in California.
Zink said Fagan is a Stones and
Grateful Dead “floater,” who follows
the two groups on tour.
“He comes into town a day or two
early and gets tickets, only this time
he picked a police officer,” Zink,
who ended up selling both tickets at
face value to two of his colleaerues,
said.
