In addition to the Metallica re lease last Sunday, Beck, Jack- opierce, Alice In Chains, Clint Black, Jimmy Buffett, Blues Traveler and Lyle Lovett will pro vide some new summer tunes. Allan Seale, the manager of Disc Go Round, said it is rumored Pearl Jam will also release a new album this summer. Seale also said it appears vinyl is quickly becoming a pop ular music trend for the sum mer of ’96. Dale Stanley, a senior math major and music consultant at Hastings, said a mellow music is becoming more popular in the Brazos Valley is more mel low music. “People are going a lot lighter, not so much banging their heads against the wall,” Stanley said. “The Tracy Chapman sound is be coming popular again.” However, Keith Randolph, a senior environmental design ma jor, said alternative music still has a large audience. “Alternative is getting more popular and going farther, not slacking at all,” Randolph said. Seale said classic rock is making a comeback as well. “With the KISS reunion com ing up, everyone is starting to listen to the classics again,” Seale said. Although Bryan-College Sta tion is not the music capital of the world, it will host its share of concerts this summer. In ad dition to Lollapalooza, there will be smaller shows offered more fre quently. Verti go, a club nights to see if the punk trends catches on. “Vertigo will be hosting mostly punk rock bands on Monday or Wednesday nights, the off nights, but probably not on the week ends,” he said. Chris Penn, the manager of Marooned, said he is working on bringing bands such as Jars of Clay and Brainiac to Ag- gieland. “Once we can see how the shows are going at Vertigo,” “we’ll book some more bands,” he said. “Right now there’s few places for them to play.” In addition to the local o n North- gate, will be hosting some local punk bands to see if the sound system works well with their style. Brett Bulen, an employee at Vertigo, said they will begin to showcase punk bands on week- shows, there will be several concerts nearby, such as Horde Fest in Austin and the KISS Reunion at the Summit in Houston. Stanley said although the mu sic industry competes against the Randolph said. The music business is picking up and should continue to be hot throughout the summer. The new music and nearby concerts, will keep students busy and allow them to enjoy the summer with a variety of new sounds. SunxUoKzt tcfal fat 4tude*tt& fo t&e &ea£ O K , I know what you’re think ing right now: “it’s @$%!# hot down here!" And yes, you’re right. It is @$%!# hot down here. But the thrill of liv- Jeffrey Cram or Columnist ing in College Station for the next three months should over ride the heat. Right? Hey! You still with me? OK just get a cup of water, you’ll be all right. Good. Now, speaking as someone who is spending his second summer at Texas A&M, I can say there are two steps to having a really great time. First of all (and please do these steps in order), don’t get heat stroke and second, don’t skip class like you did in the fall (unless of course you have heat stroke, then refer back to step one). Once you realize you can make the proper adjustments to summer sojourning in College Station, you’ll be fine. There are numerous advantages to this once-in-a-lifetime (or for some, five-or-six-times-in-a-lifetime) experience. You should have already not ed the most significant of these experiences is more parking and less people. Yes, summertime is the time for parking ticket Redemption. Here is your opportunity to prove to Mom and Pop that you have become responsible and realized the woes of those extraordi- nary fines that myste riously appear on your fee state- ment at the end of each a $50 ticket and really didn’t think the “30 Minute Parking” sign applied on school days, are actually quite human. Just like you. They’re officers are affected by the heat. So semes ter. But b e fore warned PTTS offi cers despite their callous indifference to the sufferings of poverty- stricken col lege stu dents who can’t af ford watch out—that $25 ticket may end up reading $2,500. Anoth er reason summer in Bryan- College Station is so much fun is because the semes ters are shorter. Forget that each class is now equal to roughly 13 weeks of regular semester classes, and if you miss one day, ....,, you may as well have missed your own wedding. Put it out of your mind that mid-terms will come much more frequently usually at the rate of about two per hour. You can dismiss the fact that what is written in the class schedule guide as a one-and-a- half-hour class will seem in re ality like merely four hours. Don’t worry about any of this. Realize that you can get credit for up to 14 hours in about ten days. Pretty amazing, huh? Most of all, who can forget about Lollapalooza coming to the Texas World Speedway in July? You can attempt to enjoy your favorite bands while dodg ing flying bleacher seats, mud clumps and people. So who says school has to take all the fun out of summer? College Station may not have a beach, but there’s always Wolf Pen Creek. There may not be nearby access to a Six Flags or Astroworld, but who can complain about the trav eling carnivals at Manor East Mall (“Eight tickets to not have to go on this ride!”). Hey! Are you paying atten tion? Oh, God! Water, quick! Don’t just stand there, you’re going to pass out! Okay, every thing cool? Good. Remember, it’s really @$%!# hot down here!

Right For You! After having my second son I could not lose the weight I had gained during pregnancy. No matter whar I did, it seemed like 1 was never going to fit into my "pre-pregnancy” clothes. I tried exercising at home, "but it is very hard to stay motivated when you are exercising by ygurself At my first visit to Jazzerdse Cathy encouraged me to give it a chance, and not to be discouraged when I didn’t see immediate results. Cathy also tnftjrmed me that it would take about 6 to 8 weeks to see a significant differ ence. Well, I stuck to Jazzerdse and have been gprng steadily about a year now. It seemed like the more I went the more I want ed to go. 1 have met lots of people, had a lot of fun and, hey, I lost about 33 to 33 pounds! It was work to lose the weight, but it jitst seemed like “play” instead. Jazzerdse offers different types of classes with such a variety of music, so you never get bored. 1 am so pleased with the results ofjazzercise. I have gone from a size 11 to a size 5! That’s 4 1/2 inches off my thighs and 9 inch es off my waist! Jazzerdse has shown me drat exercising doesn’t have to be a chore. As long as I am able I will be Jazzerdstng!

New music is of ten released at Christmas time, whereas summer is more of a time for new movie releases.” Seale said sales at Disc Go Round business has picked up in the past few days, however, since many students have come back for summer school. “I think we do better over the summer when the students are here than we do in the spring,” he said.
