Wildlife means more than parties at A&M
By Kelly Sweeney
Exotic animals at A&M? Nothing
new, a few can usually be seen mak
ing their way across campus each
day.
Wildlife at A&M? No big deal, in
(act, almost every weekend an affair
is held to "benefit" the cause.
Although there are quite a few so
called unusual creatures roaming the
campus, what I am actually refer
ring to are the exotic and wild ani
mals that reside at the Wildlife and
Exotic Animal Center of the Veteri
nary school.
From first glance, the grounds
appear to be little more than a few
fenced-in pastures with some graz
ing animals. But as one gets a closer
look, it is evident that the inhabit
ants of those areas are not the every
day domesticated horse or cow, but
an assortment of rather interesting
characters.
Dr. Jim Herman, resident of zoo
logical medicine, said the variety of
animals now at the center ranges
from ostriches to addaxes. Estab
lished through the veterinary physi-
I ology and pharmacology depart-
j ment, the center was initially started
to study reproductivity and learn

' said.
i "In the mid 1980's the head of the
’ physiology department decided
| someone needed to play a role in
.learning about exotic animals,"
Herman said. "So the department
j started the center through the help
of private donations of animals and
money."
Although it began with only three

It has been said that Madonna is a
mo vie star in search of a mo vie. In
the past, the further she strayed
from her own persona, the bigger
the bomb; witness the 1986 disas
ter "Shanghai Surprise." Despite
last year's success as Breathless
Mahoney in "Dick Tracy," she
isn'ttaking any chances, and with
her latest film, effectively brings
the mountain to Mohammed - or
the movie to Madonna as the case
may be.
In "Truth or Dare," a much-
ballyhooed documentary about
last year's Blond Ambition world
tour, a film which includes lots of
juicy behind-the-scenes footage,
she has found the perfect role -
playing herself - and to great ef
fect. By turns bitchy and sweet,
plain and dazzling, crude and
sexy,demandingand understand
ing, bu talways mesmerizing. Ma
donna proves that truth is stranger
than fiction - and immensely en
tertaining as well.
Whether you're an avid Ma
donna fan who has been follow
ing her career from the beginning,
or merely a curious onlooker who
wants to know more, this peek at
the woman behind the hype, and
at the people she has gathered
around her, is sure to grab your
attention from the opening frames
to the last post-credits snippet.
Like her or not. Madonna is the
kind of larger-than life performer
who gets larger-than-life atten
tion wherever she goes. When
Toronto police threaten to arrest
her for "immoral live perfor
mance" if she does a controver
sial simulated masturbation se
quence during the song "Like a
Virgin", she refuses to change her
show, citing her right to express
herself the way she sees fit. Her
stubbomnessand natural instinct
for the popular and the fascinat
ing is what made her an interna
tional superstar at the top of a
very competitive heap. The stun
ning color concert sequences dis
play her expert showmanship and
both the crack precision and the
sensuality of her dancers.
But director Alek Keshishian's
cameras also catch the grainy
black-and-white downside of
fame and the single-mindedness
that has made her so successful.
Although she is very close to her
dancers and personal assistants,
mothering them, comforting
them, lecturing them, keeping the
entourage together, she is also jeal
ous of the time they spend away
from her, and isolated by her fame.
It is obvious by the end of the film
that her touring group is like a
family to her, and as she says at
one point, she mothers them to
somehow replace her own mother
who died of cancer when she was
six. In one oddly touching scene.
Madonna goes to visit her
mother's grave, lying down on it
