’s the latest in a campaign
Care*Free Sugarless Gum to
duce their new Alpine Mint
red gum. Through April 30,
enthusiasts have the
rtunity to call in their best
at l-800-94Alpine. Callers
60 seconds to give their
name, address, phone number and
best yodel.
Yodelers will be judged on
creativity, originality, clarity and
strength of yodel.
Lisa Morgan, a spokesperson
from LifeSavers, said of the 5,000
calls they have already received,
creativity does not seem to have
been a problem.
“We have gotten everything
from Elvis yodels, rap and Beavis
and Butt-head yodels, so you can
imagine how funny it has gotten,”
Morgan said.
As one of the first forms of
mountain
communication,
yodeling has been used for
everything from safety signals on
the mountain tops to mating calls.
LifeSavers has opened the
contest to any yodeling style from
reggae, or gospel to opera and
classical, however they do prohibit
professional musicians from
entering.
The first 100,000 yodelers to
respond will be entered in the
contest, and one winner will be
named for the six-day vacation for
two to Switzerland. The prize
includes an all-day trip on the
Glacier Express, a sightseeing train
through the mountains.

Love arrested on drug charges
day before Cobains suicide
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) ™ Singer
Courtney Love was arrested and examined for a
suspected drug overdose the day before her husband,
grunge-rock star Kurt Cobam, was found dead,
police said Wednesday.
Cobain, the 27-year-old singer for the band
Nirvana, killed himself with a shotgun blast to the
head. His body was found Friday at the Seattle home
he shared with his wife and their 20-month-old
daughter, Frances Bean.
Love told Seattle television station KIRO on
Wednesday that Cobain was using heroin when he
killed himself. She said narcotics were found next to
her husbands body when it was discovered.
Love told the TV station she has had her own
problems with drugs, but wanted to send a message
to Nirvana fans that drugs don’t solve anything.
Beverly Hills Police Sgt. Robert Smith said Love
was arrested last Thursday at a hotel for drug
C ossession and taken to Century City Hospital
ecause of a suspected heroin overdose.'
She was released from the hospital the same day
and booked for investigation of possession of a
controlled substance, possession of drug
paraphernalia and possession of a hypodermic
needle, Smith said.

was probill

rector Bui live members and meets every
Vfter his weekend at Coulter Field —
ng, Viet* lather permitting — to skydive,
irk fromfck said the club raises its own
rriginal, ® Iport for events like the Nation-
wn to a a: Collegiate Skydiving Champi-
;edatenioffIships with fundraisers and
monstration jumps.
“One of the things we take
ide in is that we support cur
ves,” he said. “The Aggie tradi-
h is what has made us strong.”
The club began in the late
|60s. Every January, the club
doing a Mngs home a medal from the na-
|nal competition where it com-
|es with schools such as West
l nt and the Air Force Academy.
Inabinet said the Texas A&M

Skydiving Club is sometimes con
fused with Aggies Over Texas, a
local business. But the skydiving
club is a student organization.
The club is actively involved with
campus activities and contributes
to the community with presenta
tions about skydiving at local
schools.
You may have seen the skydiv
ing club in years past touching
down at Greek Week and March
for the Brazos. Sometime this fall,
Morris said several club members
will land in Kyle Field — game
ball in hand.
Mark Woodings, the club’s
newly-elected president, said his
favorite aspect of the club is com
peting at the national competition.
A senior electrical engineering
major, Woodings has over 200
jumps under his belt.
“The goals of our organization
are to represent Texas A&M at the
National Collegiate Skydiving
Championships and to promote
safe skydiving. ’
As president, Woodings said he
plans to take a prepared team to
nationals, increase membership
and publicize skydiving at Texas
A&M.
His favorite part of the jump is
n’t what one might expect. He
said he spends the 10 minutes or
so climbing to 10,000 feet think
ing. When the door is thrown
open and the cold air rushes in, he
said it has a “cleansing effect.”
“It wipes you clean of all your
worries and concerns,” Woodings
said.
Woodings also compared sky
diving to a roller coaster ride.
“You know what you’re getting
into. . . it’s your ride — enjoy it,
he said. “It’s absolutely the great
est thrill on the face of the earth.”
The Texas A&M Skydiving Club
will be dropping in on Parents’
Weekend festivities this Sunday at
Simpson Drill Field at noon.
