Yeltsin
Continued horn Page 1
ChesterTHtnning, an associate
professor of history and expert
in Russian history, said Yeltsin
would have had very little au
thority had he not condemned
this action.
"It would have reduced him
to a Queen Elizabeth type of
head of state," Dunning said.
In response to parliament's
action, Yeltsin declared on
March 10 he would still have the
power to rule by decree, and he
reinstated the April election. But
on March 25, Yeltsin's announce
ment was declared unconstitu-
tionaJ.
Hatchett said this gave the
parliament the opportunity it
needed to call for Yeltsin's im
peachment which requires a
two-thirds vote of the Congress
of People's Depu ties.
But Tuesday, Yeltsin issued a
written version of his decree,
which Hatchett said did not
mention keeping Congress from
making decisions.
"This seems like a gesture of
compromise on Yeltsin's part,"
he said.
The Congress of People's
Deputies meets* tomorrow, and
Hatchett said someone will
probably call for Yeltsin's im
peachment.
"It's unlikely that they wdll
get the two-thirds majority need
ed to impeach Yeltsin," he said.
"If they impeach Yeltsin, there is
a real possibility that bloodshed
will occur because nobody will
know whose orders to follow."
But, Dunning said, the possi
bility of war is small, and neither
the people nor the military want
bloodshed.
"I have no fear of a civil war
or the military intervening,"
Dunning said. "In Russia’s his
tory, the military always sides
with the political leadership.
"The average Russian doesn't
want communism or a civil
war," he said. "They are too
smart to kill each other."
However, Hatchett said, a
coup could occur if a compro
mise cannot be reached. "A
third party, probably the mili
tary, could initiate this coup,"
Hatchett said.
Even if hard-liners triumph,
Hatchett said, there is little pos
sibility of another Cold War.
"The possibility that Russia
would turn back to a Marxist
government doesn't exist," he
said. "But it would be closer to
it than we (the United States)
would have hoped for."
He said the United States has
an important role in the current
events in Russia.
"The United States has a ma
jor role in this struggle," Hatch
ett said. "If hard-liners took
over, they would probably not
honor the arms treaties the U.S.
has signed with Russia.
"This would mean the U.S.
would have to spend more on its
military budget, he said.
"I think the most important
thing the U.S. can do is ease the
misery of the Russian people,"
Hatchett said. "They are hungry
and don't have adequate med
ical care.
"President Clinton wants to
target aid to certain industries
that will be a catalyst to Russia's
recovery," Hatchett said. "Rus
sia is rich in oil and gas, and this
will be important to Texas com
panies as well."
But, Dunning said, the United
States has only a marginal role in
the situation, and should contin
ue to support Russia's efforts for
democracy.
"We could overplay our hand
and cause a lot of problems for
Yeltsin," he said. "We ought to
support the current legitimate
government as long as it contin
ues to strive for peaceful and de
mocratic processes."
However, Dunning, said the
United States shouldn't judge
Russia's effort at democracy by
the West's standards.
"The Russian people are used
to living in ambiguous circum
stances, Dunning said. "They
are not used to having things re
solved.
"I don't see this getting out of
control in a big way," he said.
Student fees
Continued from Page 1
is looking at the University's
needs but forgetting who they®
trying to get money from.
The administration should
have come to the Senate to find
out if the student body's financial
situation could handle paying the
"nickels and dimes" the Universi
ty is asking for, he said.
"Since we are students, we®
more in contact with students,
and we should know what cir
cumstances students face," Lang
ley said. "So, if the administra
tion is truly working for the stu
dents, the administration should
want to know about students' fi
nancial situation."
Langley said he feels the Uni
versity may need these fees, but no
one, except administrators, knew
about the possible fee increases-
and this has him suspicious.
"It has been kept quiet and
confidential and I think the stu
dent body is smarter than that/
he said. "We think that we have
shown that the students want to
work with the administration and
that paying more isn't a problem
for students when they feel there
is legitimate reason."
Although there is no legal rea
son why the University should
consult with the Senate on student
fee increases, the administration
needs to have the student feedback
through the Senate in order to do
what is best for the University ®d
its students, he said.
Gage said he sees the value in
that idea and the possibility for
interaction like that in the future
but not to the degree that the Uni
versity administration cannot do
anything on its own.
"The University's hands
shouldn't be tied," he said. "The
current submission of fees was
put in before the Student Senate
resolution was passed, but in the
future I would like to sit down
with them and go over the fees."
Yoakam
Continued from Page 3
Yoakam sound.
Five songs on the album are co-written by Kostas
and Yoakam. One of the sweetest and most sensitive
song written the duo is "Try Not To Look So Pretty."
The moan of a sad fiddle fills the background as a
cowboy asks h’is ex-girlfriend not to look so pretty
next time he sees her so he can try to stop being her
lovesick fool. M
The title cut, "This Time," also brings together the
talents of Yoakam and Kostas. The harmonies and
lyric structure of this single sound like an old Buck
Owens song set to a honky-tonk piano.
"Fast As You" jumps out as the fastest and most
energetic song on the album. A turn-around on an
old bluesy E-chord progression, this song sounds
similar to either "Peter Gunn" or "Pretty Woman."
A dance-mix version of the song will oe released
soon that promises not to be short on fun.
"Wild Ride" also has the potential to be a popular
dance song. Sexy, flashy and exciting, this song
makes you want to get on the dance floor or drive
down the highway with the window rolled down.
The instrumentation on the album ranges froma
B-3 organ to twin fiddles afKl“classic steel guitars
There's not a dull moment with -this mix.
No, it's not your traditional country showcase, but
"This Time" is solid from cut one to cut eleven and
delivers some of Yoakam's best work lyrically and
vocally yet.
May
Continued from Page 3
triguing instrumental in which
May plays splendid melodies on
guitar around an orchestral
arrangement, while "Love Token"
is more of a raw rocker.
May's guitar leads hold back
the flashy speed and coolly sim
mer on the bluesy and mellow
"Nothin' But Blue," on which
May played a guitar given to him
by guitar guru Joe Satriani.
Although guitar is the domi
nant instrument on the album.
May shows he is more than a gui
tar virtuoso with soaring lead and
harmony vocals.
May's vocals have a broad
range and clarity that would be
unexpected if not for his previous
lead vocals on a handful of quali
ty but lesser-known Queen songs
such as "Long Away" and "All
Dead, All Dead."
During the tracks "Back To The
Light" and "Resurrection," May
sings with a passion that suggests
he is trying personally to lift the
listener to heaven. His vocals
prove to be as strong as his guitar
Much Love" is a strong
ballad featuring layered har
monies from May and a classical
guitar solo, and "Let Your Heart
Rule Your Head" is a fun, foot-
stomping country romp.
The only track that rails on this
release is the bland "I'm Scared."
Despite that one glitch, May,
currently on tour in the United
States as the opening act for Guns
N Roses, has erased any doubts
that there is life after Queen with
"Back To The Light."

' Too
Hip
Continued from Page 3
pletely succumb to the life-draining doldrums the
members unsuccessfully fight on every track of the
album.
On "Pigeon Camera," the Hip's interesting vocal
tradeoffs in the chorus seem to almost lift the song out
of its monotony. Alas, this glimmer of excitement
soon disappears when the song returns to its ugly
boredom after only a few seconds of engaging melody.
Still another musical tease is "At the Hundredth
Meridian." Downie's guttural scream coupled with
the electric guitar sounds interesting at the start, but
soon becomes tiresome after recurring 21 times in the
span of approximately three tremendously long min
utes.
The jewel of the album, "Looking For a Place to
Happen," has an intensely driven guitar with enthu
siastic, rhythmic drums but still manages to fall into
the unescapable pit of repetition. Plus, the ninth
track, "Fifty Mission Cap, has the exact same tem
po, the same drum beat and virtually the same chord
progression. Basically the members changed the ti
tle, the lyrics and the position on the album. The rest
is the same. This lack of creativity is enough to make
a listener fall asleep.
In 1989, The Tragically Hip's first album, "Up to
Here," blew onto the scene with a tremendous
achievement in rock and roll fervor. Next year's
follow-up, "Road Apples," was equally passionate,
showing that MTV American big hair bands are not
the only musicians with depth and magnitude.
However, in the company of gut-wrenching vocals
like those of Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, the Tragical
ly Hip seem to have faltered in their musical empha
sis, overcome by a wave of mediocrity. Still, this is
only their third full-length album and they should
have many more chances to breathe life back into
their music. Plus the collection of songs on this al
bum are not a total waste; they will make great
background music in the shopping mall.
