People concerned about vanishing re
sources, but intimidated by activists, can take a
quieter approach to the dilemma at Texas
A&M through the National Resource Conser
vation Association (NRCA), says Theresa Cail-
louet, secretary of the NRCA.
The NRCA currently provides career and
graduate information to students with the nat
ural resource conservation option within their
curriculum and wants to expand this informa
tion to students interested in applying their de
grees to conservation or environmental fields,
says Eric Brown, a sophomore forestry natural
resource conservation major from Austin and
president of the NRCA.
A non-political, pre-professional organiza
tion dedicated to the conservation and wise
management of natural resources, the NRCA is
also concerned with the professional develop
ment in related fields and public awareness of
natural resource issues.
"(Human) effects are coming to light these
days," Brown says and emphasizes the fact,
"We need people to address these problems
and help others understand the problems. It
all boils down to the point we are all part of
(the earth), we are not separate."
Getting jobs in environmental and conser
vation areas have a more direct effect and a
more practical application than joining radical
groups, he says noting that (radical)
organizations are still needed be
cause they point out the problem to
the rest of society.
"We don't want to take sides,"
says Eric Brown, a sophomore
forestry natural resource conserva
tion major from Austin and president
of NRCA. "We're interested in help
ing students get into positions that
will see the relationship between hu
mans and the environment im
prove."
Brown says that the concern for
environmental issues opens many
opportunites for careers with busi
nesses that know their customer is
buying the environmentally safe
product. Marketing majors, in this
instance, could come to the NRCA
for help in job searching.
"You can go to the store and look
at packages with environmentally
conscious labels," he says. "The com
pany needs to know all of these

In conjunction with these possibilities, the
NRCA provides information to the public
about conservation-related issues by hosting

XYZ delivers metal with melod?fc r u 8 mt
Continued from page 5
XYZ places themselves into the
music scene about where Dokken
used to fit in. There is not a lot of
heavy power chords or grumbling
vocals to be found here, instead XYZ
delivers metal with melodic guitars
and clear singing.
XYZ seems to favor the "group
scream" for choruses where the
whole band just yells out the song ti
tle at an appropriate time. "Don't
Say No" is a classic example. The
band is ripping through the song,
playing some good music, lead
singer Terry Ilous is crooning
through the verses, then suddenly it
happens. Everybody yells "Don't
Say No!" - there you have the cho
rus.

'Nunsense' pokes fun at Catholicisiij 31!
By Timm Doolen
The Battalion
Some nonsense called "Nun-
sense" went over big in Rudder
Auditorium Monday night, al
though a lot of the jokes fell flat on
this reviewer's ears.
The zany musical comedy
brought by OPAS had its good
and bad points, but this touring
production was definitely not up
to par with most of the shows
OPAS brings.
The show starts out with five
nuns talking to members of the
audience "Hair"-style - some of
the nuns even reprimanded audi
ence members for having skirts
that were a bit too short.
Soon after, the play gets going,
and the sisters tells us why they
are putting on the show. They are
trying to raise funds to properly
bury several of their sisters who
died after being accidentally poi
soned. The convent chef made
some vichyssoise from which 52
sisters contracted botulism and
died.
All but four of the nuns were
buried when funds ran out, and to
raise money for the last few, the
remaining sisters (who were away
when the nuns died), decide to
stage a benefit.
The loose plot is little more
than an excuse for a string of nun
and Catholic jokes, along with
several musical numbers.
What do you call a sleepwalk
ing nun? A roaming Catholic.
What do you call a nun who's
had a sex change? A trans-sister.
Jokes that worked better in
cluded references to fallen evan
gelists Jim and Tammy Baker, and
even the Church-Lady from Satur
day Night Live. The best comedy
bits were when the nuns went into
the audience and ad-libbed.
Much of the humor required a
pretty good knowledge of the
Catholic religion, which brought
up an interesting paradox - any
one who knew enough about
Catholicism to get all the jokes
probably was apt to be offended
by some of them.
Some of the jokes were simply
offensive and not funny. I

sive part so much if they had just
