Comics, the bizarre rule AggieCon '91
By Brandon Truitt
The Battalion
J olt Cola. One dead, unmutilated
cockroach. Something little, yellow
and different.
What do all these things have in
common? They are all on this year’s
AggieCon Scavenger Hunt.
Among the items that did not make
the Scavenger Hunt list this year are
Bevo’s horns (because someone might
actually bring the real ones) and
Reveille (because last year the Corps of
Cadets was a little upset, even though
the dog was escorted all the way
through the hunt).
Christy Cooper, a Cepheid Variable
member and a junior chemical engi
neering major, said the reason the or
ganization decided to remove Reveille
from the list was because they had al
ready done it — they wanted some
thing new to look for.
In fact, there are quite a few sur
prises at this year’s AggieCon.
This is the first year the convention
will play host to sanctioned tourna
ments of popular computer games
like Quake and Warcraft.
AggieCon XXVIII also will be
the first convention to officially
enact a Live Action Role Playing
Game (LARP). R. Talsorian’s Dr.
Falkenstein will turn three floors
of Rudder Tower into a Hinden-
burg-style dirigible. The advan
tage of LARPs over regular role-
playing games is that instead of
using imaginary characters who
perform imaginary deeds, partici
pants must act out the actions and
instructions themselves.
There will still be plenty of standard
role-playing games as well, and one
Cepheid Variable member predicts
that “no matter where you look — if
there’s room on the floor—people will
be playing games.”
This year’s AggieCon also boasts
a phone interview with reclusive
sci-fi veteran Arthur C. Clarke, to go
along with a screening of 2001: A
Space Odyssey.
Although Cepheid Variable
members say it was coincidence,
this year’s AggieCon appears to be
more comic-book oriented than it
has been in past years. Most of
their numerous speakers special
ize in comic books. Two of the
most noteworthy speakers will be
Dave Dorman, an artist for Star
Wars comic books, and Brian Stel-
freeze, an artist for Batman and
Maximum Velocity.
Even with comic book bigwigs,
folks like Cepheid Variable member
Marghein (who says he “doesn’t do
comics”) are still excited about this
year’s convention.
“It is a time when people can see
and talk to other people they normal
ly wouldn’t get a chance to meet,” said
Marghein, a freshman computer sci
ence major.
Students also can catch one of the
midnight screenings of the Rocky Hor
ror Picture Show at the Grove.
In the massive Dealer’s Room, one
can search for deals on favorite comic
books, memorabilia, artwork and col
lector’s merchandise. The room also is
rumored to have loads of free mer
chandise to give away to anyone who
is interested.
There also will be a room com
pletely devoted to Japanese anime. It
will feature everything from anime
classics to the newest works from up-
and-coming artists.
At 4:30 p.m. Saturday there will be
a free auction to benefit the local char-
lames Palmer,'

“The whole disease thing affects
people who are more aware,” he said.
“I don’t think it curves people from
having sex. Young people think they’ll
live forever anyway.”
James Caiman, associate director
of clinical services at the Student
Health Center, said the danger of con
tracting STDs is very real.
“You can get STDs in heterosexual
contact,” Carman said. “Especially
women are more vulnerable, because
they're more likely to have bleeding
during sex.”
Students and experts are divided
on whether premarital sex scars

“I think it’s going to scar them,”
Madden said. “At that point, they
don’t realize it.”
But Grant said that any psycho
logical scarring is the result of so
cial stigmatizing.
“If we mark them as being tainted
for life, if we shame them, then yes, it
will scar them,” Grant said, “but
