We heard America is violent but we didn't believe it." The women of the group, Wern er, Bieritz and Schulz, are original ly from East Germany while the men, Grafen and Rupprecht, hail from the West. They say one of the most common questions Ameri cans ask them is their opinion on German reunification. Although the five share similar professions, the Eastern natives disagree with the Westerners on many points, especially the reuni fication matter. "We disagree on many points," Rupprecht said. "We lived in the West and they in the East. The points of view are just different." "We differ in background, cul ture and language," Werner said. According to this group, there were many people who benefit- ted from reunification and many who didn't. "We refer to some people as winners of the reunification and some losers," Werner said. The losers of reunification were the older Eastern Germans who lost their jobs, he said. The winners were the younger Germans who will get many new opportunities. Although many blame politics for the fighting in Germany, Schulz says economics were the principal reason for the fighting in the streets. "Economically, the East was at zero," Rupprecht said. "So people fought not only for freedom or political reasons." The five say the main problem between East and West Germans is that many of them are not interest ed in getting to know each other. "Eastern and Western people have to learn to get together," Werner said. "We would like it if they could learn to understand each other much better." Outside their own country, the group would like other nations' views of Germany to change. "I would like to see the world around us learn to look at us in the right way, not in a historical way," Rupprecht said. "They look at us in the light of World War II and that has nothing to do with Germany today." Video Continued from Page 3 video and will be screened at the Sun day evening showcase of Texas video makers, the Texas Show. Green said "Beware Behave Be Still" and "Be Still" show how traumatic acts like sexual abuse can continually haunt a victim in his/her memory. "It's really an exploration of the cyclic nature of abuse itself and also how the abuse gets in your mind and haunts you," Green said. He said "Residue" is about surviving by putting parts of life behind you. "It's called "Residue" because it's like the embers of a fire after it's burned," Green said. "There is something there that lasts." Other works that will be shown at The Texas Show are "Still Life," a computer animation exploration dealing with perspective, by archi tecture graduate student Jim Walker, and "When I Was Six" a computer animation exploration of childhood remembrances by former student Michelle Robinson. Both Kinsella and Green said they feel it is an honor to display their work at the festival. "The only people that have seen my work have been the peo ple working around me," Green said. "I am really interested to see what total strangers will think." Bart Weiss, the director of the festival said he thinks the Texas A&M student and faculty work is outstanding. "It's amazing," Weiss said. "A&M has a very sophisticated computer graphics lab. The quali ty of the work is just incredible." Weiss said he hopes the festival will grant more opportunities to the students and faculty. "I hope showing their work here enables them to gain a reputation and allow them to be seen else where," he said. "Their work de serves to be seen by many people."

After an initial confrontation, the four decide to have an amiable con versation. The creatures have many questions about living on land which force Nancy and Dylan Continued from Page 3 a single acoustic guitar flowing along to Dylan's words. At first, the songs sound drea ry and naked. But as each stroke of the guitar leads through to Dy lan's musical spirit, one realizes these folk songs were meticulous ly chosen. The original meaning behind each song is blessed with Dylan's own poetic interpretation. "Blood In My Eyes" is a plain, sad song, but it's not so dreary that it gets lost in repetition. It rather relaxes you with a bluesy feel. "Delia" is yet another sad song. Charlie to look at themselves from the outside. All actors give a personal touch to their characters which brings them to life and makes the play a much richer experience for the au dience. It is this aspect that keeps the play flowing without any lag time. You even forget you are watching lizards discuss life. With the witty dialogue of Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Edward Albee leading you through, you'll find The Aggie Players' "Seascape" a production worth seeing. but there's something so light and easy about it that it invites the lis tener to almost feel the lyrics. The only lively song on the al bum is "Stack A Lee." Another dimension is added to this song with the help of Dylan's musical trademark, the harmonica. It's fast and furious, and sounds a lot like Dylan's old stuff. Every song, though simple and often slow, is blessed with Dy lan's nostalgic sound. As if Dylan produced tills album while sitting around a crackling camp fire, one can easily envision his timeless voice emerging from the dark, cold night, setting all the campers at ease to reflect upon his words, and upon what each song's theme means in their lives. 'Flesh and Done’ Continued from Page 4 his job, the road and sleeping with other men's wives. He unexpect edly encounters his past when meets a hard drinking woman named Kay Davies (Ryan). It turns out that Kay was the screaming baby who was left at the scene of the murder. Unfortunately, no surprises are left from this point and the plot begins to slow down. Luckily, the acting surpasses incredible. Quaid plays the lost, grown up Texan boy like second Frank Continued from Page 5 In addition, it was puzzling to figure out why on God's green earth Sinatra picked singers like Bono from U2 to be a part of "Duets." Although Bono's contri bution to contemporary music is profound, he is known for his lyrics not his vocals. Bono's ren dition of "I've Got You Under My Skin" is slow and he sounds like he is half asleep. nature. He's believably real, har; and vulnerable. Caan grinds thi scenes with his intense tempe: and Ryan plays the lonely, abusffl wife with a quiet passion. The strength of the film is cen tered upon its characters and theii secrets of the past, but these fat tors alone can't carry the film to; successful outcome. From the scenes of buzzing ci cadas to windy rows of raw col- ton, the film gets lost in a lackol surprises. There's plenty of character de velopment, but a sense of real, straight to the bone substanceis noticeably missing. And unfortu nately, what's missing from "Flesh and Bone" cannot go unnoticed. But, "Duets" is not a failure Sinatra does a splendid job with Vandross in "The Lady is a Tramp." Vandross' smooth voice blends well with Sinatra's deliver)' Another great rendition is the duet with Baker in "Witchcraft. The talented R&B songstress sounds comfortable and her jazz background sure doesn't hurt in making this tune one of the best ones on the album. Sinatra took on a bold project with "Duets." The result is far less than perfect, but for any devoted Frank fan, there are a few gems. w X <x> W pci FISH: It’s Time to Get Caught...
