Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (★★★) — In this futuristic thriller, the master of horror awakens to find that the Houston Oilers have hired Freddy Krueger to solve their quarterback prob lem. As Freddy throws touchdown after touchdown, members of the Oiler coaching staff and front of fice start dropping like flies. The last twenty minutes is a cinematic masterpiece as the entire city of Houston helps Freddy find where Oiler owner Bud Adams is hiding. Jason’s Lyric (★) — Dallas Maverick rookie sensation Jason Kidd finds a career as a gangsta rapper after breaking his ankle in a freak accident with an over weight Roy Tarpley. Jimmy Jack- son and Jamal Mashburn sing back-up on the smash hit “Point Guard at Point Blank.” Radio Land Murders (★★★★) — In a strange twist Harry Garay is hired to do play-by-play by the Houston Rockets after Gene Pe tersen chokes on his microphone. Garay gives a masterful perfor mance in calling the games as he murders the players’ names. “Sam Castle down to Kareem Olakujohn back out to Ryne Sand berg, the shot, Holy Cow it’s good. Ahhhh crap, Maxrell is called for pushing so the basket is no good.” Pulp Fiction (★★) — In Quentin Tarantino’s new movie, the violence is down, the truth stretching is up. Glenn Robinson stars as an NBA rookie who be lieves he is actually worth $100 million, like someone would actu ally do that. I mean how can you believe this dialogue?

Lady Ag volleyball team sweeps Owls By Kristina Buffin The Battalion Total dominance was the only way to describe the Texas A&M women’s volleyball team win over Rice last night in front of 485 at G. Rollie White Coliseum. The Lady Aggies swept the Owls 15-5, 15-9, and 15-4 to extend their win ning streak to four games. “I was very nervous,” head coach Laurie Cor- belli said. “I’m very happy it’s over and I am very proud of how the team did.” The Lady Aggies outhit the Owls .297 to .010 and had only 11 hitting errors compared to the Owls 27. “I felt like Rice really wasn’t into their game tonight,” Corbelli said. “Anytime a team (Rice) has 27 hitting errors during three games in a match, obviously they weren’t very sharp.” The Lady Aggie’s dominated game one defen sively by only allowing five points. After Rice tied the game at four, the Lady Aggies allowed only one more point before going on to win 15-5. “I think we were ready to come out tonight,” setter Suzy Wente said. “We wanted to come out and beat them.” Outside hitter Jennifer Bronner led the team with seven digs and Suzy Wente led the team in assists with 21. The Lady Aggie’s goal for game three was to increase their intensity and put away the Owl’s in the third game. “We picked up the intensity after we had a talk,” Corbelli said. “I’m really pleased how they responded to it. I thought they handled game three really well.” When the Aggies went up 12-2, Corbelli be gan to rotate in her second team players. “I thought about playing them earlier,” Cor belli said. “I like to play a lot of players when it feels comfortable. I waited as long as I thought was reasonable.” The Aggies allowed the Owls only four points before winning the game 15-4. The Lady Aggies hope to continue their winning streak when they play 19th ranked University of Georgia on Friday and the University of Tennessee on Saturday at G. Rollie White Coliseum.

For 35 years, they went together like college football on New Year’s Day. Then CBS was jilted for NBC and two years later SWC teams divorced each other. But the trio just couldn’t stay apart. On Wednesday, CBS announced a six- year deal that will return the Cotton Bowl to its airwaves for six years begin ning Jan. 1, 1996. “After allowing our friends across the street (NBC) temporary custody, we’re delighted to be back in Dallas,” said Len DeLuca, vice president of programming for CBS Sports. There’s actually two deals involved in getting the game back on CBS. The first is the sale of the television rights to Liberty Sports, Inc., for an undisclosed price, and the second is Lib erty paying CBS about $800,000 a year for the air time to broadcast the game. CBS, therefore, has no financial risk and gets a strong lead-in game to its high-powered bowl day that also fea tures the Fiesta and Orange bowls be ginning in 1996. The game still will have all the typi cal CBS touches, including technical staff and on-air personalities. “It’s great to be back on CBS,” said Cotton Bowl Athletic Association presi dent John Crawford. “It’s going to be a great partnership and we can’t wait to get started.” The TV deal comes a day after the Cotton Bowl figured out a plan to keep its SWC ties once the league fractures and four teams join the Big Eight to form the Big 12, three teams go to the Western Athletic Conference and Hous ton becomes an independent. On Tuesday, the Cotton Bowl an nounced that the 1996 game will fea ture the SWC runner-up or Big Eight runner-up against the WAC champion or Pac-10 runner-up. The next five years, the Big 12 run ner-up will be the host team in the Cot ton Bowl against either the WAC cham pion or Pac-10 runner-up. That plan was made possible by a deal with the Holiday Bowl, which will take the two teams not picked by the Cotton for a late-December game in San Diego’s Jack Murphy Stadium. The selection process doesn’t begin until the bowl alliance has chosen teams for its three bowl games. Priest rejoins A&M cross country team By Stewart Doreen The Battalion Texas A&M senior Matt Priest had not run in a cross country meet in two years coming into this season, but that has not stopped him from taking first place in two meets. “Fve had more success this year than ever before,” Priest said. Priest says the rebuilding in A&M cross country program has left few similarities from the 1992 season. The changes in personnel and with new head coach Greg Hinze has made everything feel like new. “I feel like a freshman with senior experi ence,” Priest said. “I think the team and coaching have been a tremendous sup port to myself. We’ve got a good group of guys to train with, so that makes you work that much harder.” Hinze said that it is the atti tude of the senior that has brought out the ability that has always been there. Hinze said that Priest’s attitude is carrying over to the other team members. “Most of Matt’s improvements have come from a confidence standpoint,” Hinze said. “He’s a lot more confident right now, and his confidence rubs off on the team.” Priest, a team co-captain, came to Texas A&M from Mesquite Po- teet as the state champion in the 3,200-meter run. He has enjoyed success at A&M finishing no lower than 13th in any meet in 1992 and See Priest/Page 8 Priest MSC COMMITTEE FOR THE AWARENESS OF MEXICAN AMERICAN CULTURE PRESENTS El Dia de los Muertos Come celebrate the annual Day of the Dead with us.
