But one Texas A&M stu dent has proven there’s more to being a Girl Scout than selling cookies. Susan Armstrong, a freshman bioenvironmental sciences major, recently received her Gold Award — the highest honor that can he earned by a Girl Scout — for producing a videotape on envi ronmental awareness. The video, entitled “An Environmental Per spective,” gives an insight to the environmental problems and things that can be done to pre vent them, Armstrong said. “(The video) is based on the growing intensity of the aware ness that needs to be put out nowadays. A lot of people don’t catch on to that,” Armstrong said. Upon the request of the Tejas Girl Scout Council in Dallas, Armstrong submitted a three- - minute video clip of her project to the Earthwatch Take a Step video contest.

When Armstrong sent in her video, she said she doubted she would win with the competition she was up against. However, this past February, she was told that she was one of five winners of over 100 submissions. ”1 liked my video, but 1 knew I was up against big chapters and large monumental organizations like the Sferra Club,” Armstrong said. “1 just didn’t think they’d be choosing amateurs like me.” Even as an amateur, Arm strong put five months of hard work into the planning and pie duction of the video.

The group will be at Marooned Records this afternoon to perform an in-store concert to celebrate the release of their fourth album. Jack O’Neill and Cary Pierce are Jack opierce, a Dallas duo who sing and play the guitar. They have sold over 42,000 copies of their three independent albums since they met in 1988 at Southern Methodist Universi ty. Jackopierce began playing at clubs in Dal las and around Texas and soon had a fan base across the states. “College Station was one of the first places we played outside of Dallas,” O’Neill said. “A&M has been more than supportive.” He said fans should possibly expect some accompaniment at the upcoming concert. “You’ll just have to see what happens,” Pierce said.

For those who have never heard Jack opierce, Pierce describes the band as “not al ternative,” but “like alternative.” Their lyrics are filled with intellect and sensitivity. “We like to stay away from the words ‘acoustic’ and. ‘folk’ when describing our music,” Pierce said. Jackopierce decided to sign with A&M Records after looking at several other compa nies. “We were hesitant at first, but we fell in love with A&M,” Pierce said. “A&M Records is just awesome.” Pierce describes the new album “Bringing On The Weather,” produced by T Bone Bur nett (Counting Crows, Elvis Costello), as a tougher and darker side of Jackopierce. As on all of their albums, Jackopierce wrote all of the songs on “Bringing On Hie, Weather.” But for Jackopierce Fans, this#: bum sounds a little different. "Bringing Back The Weather” doesni quite capture the energy and son! thatconreS out when these two perform live. “Gary and I are beginning to approach, symmetry, we are defining Jackopierce mu?! can each album,” O’Neill said.
