A dmit
it. It is
a dark
secret shared
by many.
They have
seduced
more than
one poor soul
with their
gibberish,
their bright-
1 y - h u e d
lumpy bodies
and their
British back
ground. No, they aren't the Spice
Girls — they are the Teletubbies.
The Teletubbies are a tribe of
odd-looking creatures who have
migrated across the Atlantic to
these shores.
Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Lala and
Po are their handles. Besides the
odd names, each Teletubbie has a
television screen in their stomach.
When the magic angel dust-
spewing pinwheel signals, their
stomach screens flash various
images that effects the Tubbies
current emotional states.
Not that it makes for much of a
change in their personalities,
since they seem to always be as
high as kites.
The communal pinwheel flash
es and spins like a PlayStation in
a washing machine. The
Teletubbies' response to this
stimulation is a reaction some
where between severe epileptic
fits and and dope fiend hysteria.
These hyped-up limey hobgob
lins of the airwaves have brought
their surreal television program to
PBS and America's youth.
Along with democracy, The
Beatles and a healthy respect for
Donkey from page 3
dental care, the English have seen
fit to bless American culture with
the Teletubbies.
The creators of Teletubbies
probably thought they had the
next Barney on their hands.
Teletubbies has the non-threat
ening characters and the cheesy
production values, but it is differ
ent — clearly not another Barney
clone. It is like "Sesame Street"
produced by Timothy Leary and
written by Grateful Dead roadies.
The show is supposed to be
aimed the very young, as in fresh
out of the womb. The target audi
ence is even given a disturbing
centerpiece throughout the show.
High above Teletubbie land sits a
sun with an infant's face super
imposed upon it.
The Tubbies worship this this
creation like it is an ancient Aztec
sun god. The sun face has variety
of expressions, which it bathes
upon its loyal subjects.
The funny thing is that on the
way to becoming the next big
thing for kindergartners,
"Teletubbies" has become quite
popular among young adults.
Maybe it is because of the pro
gram's psychedelic atmosphere.
They live in a spaceship that has
crashed in the middle of land
inhabited by periscope-shaped
speakers, bunnies and flowers.
They eat things like Tubbie
Custard and Tubbie Toast.
The appearance of these
anomolies in the show is trippier
than skinny dipping in a vat of
LSD. Teletubbies look like techni
color pears with antennas on
their heads and TVs in their tum
mies. Each Tubbie seems to have
a unique personality, ready for
multi-media crossmarketing.

oldest and oddest. The|

“They’re doing a lot of running,” Matthews said.
She said an effort was made to help the donkeys
experience anything new that might be encountered
on the race course, including water and other obsta
cles. The donkeys will be laden with packs of tnining
equipment for the race, and the training regimen
has been working them up to the final amount of 33
pounds that will be required for the race.
Jennifer Sullivan, a second year veterinary medi
cine student, is the second member of the team.
Jennifer has been working very closely with the ani
mals and was chosen both for her experience in this
area and her background as a runner.
The third member of the party will be Dr. Sheilah
Robertson of Michigan State University. Robertson,
a friend of Matthews, is a marathon runner and
triathlete as well as having spent time studying don
keys, and will meet the team in Colorado when they
arrive three weeks before the date of the race.
“It’s actually a potentially dangerous situation,”
Matthews said of the higher elevation and moun-
Concert from page 3
"For example, with the lute, they started writing
different tunes because the composer wanted differ
ent effects," he said. "The musicians would have to
tune the lute in between the sets, so it was easier to
simply create a new instrument. It was technologi
cal advancement."
With a large collection to choose from, Boenig
said he is looking forward to show casing his instru
ments and allowing the audience to experience dif
ferent sounds from the past.
"We are playing many instruments throughout
the concert," he said. "These include the crwth, the
citole, the harp, the psaltry, the recorder, the
m H
tainous terrain of the race. While all memte
team are veteran runners, none are naW
rocky trails of Colorado.
Matthews, Sullivan and Robertson will
ported at the event by friends and familyh®
and the Fairplay area.
Dr. Tex Taylor, a professor of veterinarywN
at A&M, said he had spent a great dealoftirK®
ing the donkeys over the course of the pi'B
years, but will not be part of the race. HcR
Taylor’s instruction of the animals in the
driving and obedience has been invalual

The race is expected to draw a larger cro«

erage by ESPN. Several dozen compeMjl
signed up for the event, which takes place onlf
crumhorn, the base viol, dulcian, sackbut,cor®|
the harpsichord and the flute."
Boenig said many of the songs that are ^
commonly today were created to play on
instrument. , I
"There is a change of style in many 0 * jj
nal pieces, because of being adapted to |
instruments," he said. "For example, someo ||
pieces were made for the harpsichord,

when played on the harpsichord it sounds e v I
