Iruschkus leaves on Sept. 15
Malawi, a country in south-
Africa. He will teach high
doI physics and chemistry to
il children and work with pro-
s in AIDS education and dis-
? prevention.
I really want to tell and teach

king with. They will teach me

Vallner is headed to Mozam-
je| Africa, on Oct. 27. Like Gr-
hkus, he also will be working
due ation, teaching natural sci-
e to eighth- through lOth-grade
dents. Wallner’s interest in ed-
tion began during his volunteer
erience at South Knoll Elemen-
f sjhool in College Station.
There was a student who had
t moved from Russia and he
no English,” he said. “I

worked with him to teach hiiru
some basics. When I saw him
smile as he began to get the hang
of things, it was the greatest feel
ing because I knew I was helping
him learn.”
Valdes leaves Sept. 19 for
Guatemala where he will work in
municipal development. He will
work on projects to improve the
“management capacity and effec
tiveness of development projects of
municipalities.”
Leaving the safety and familiar
ity of home can be a frightening ex
perience, but Gruschkus and Wall-
ner are more excited than scared,
although Gruschkus voiced one
major concern.
“The main thing I’m worried
about is having to get a blood
transfusion because much of the
population in Malawi is HIV posi
tive,” he said. “That makes me a
little nervous.”
Wallner expressed no fears,
merely excitement.
“I really don’t have any major
fears about going,” he said. “I
guess [I’m afraid of] the unknown
since I don’t know anyone and
have no clue what to expect, but
I am really confident. I’m not
scared or nervous, just really anx
ious to go.”

Santana reflects on album
NEW YORK (AP) — Carlos San
tana talks about a “spiritual virus’
when he sits down to discuss Su
pernatural, his newly released al
bum.
“f walked into the
studio and as soon
as Wyclef saw my
face, he wrote a
song/'
— Carlos Santana
guitarist/songwriter
His mandate in making the
record, he said, was to help people
realize their lives are valid.
“We are going to spread,
through these songs, a spiritual
virus that brings hope and healing
and a sense of validation for peo
ple’s existence,” he said.
Santana, 52, is the leader of the
band of the same name. Santana
was formed in the mid-1960s in
San Francisco and started perform
ing there. By the time the band per
formed at Woodstock in 1969, San
tana had signed a contract to record
with Columbia.
The band is best known for
Latin rock and has played blues,
Afro-Cuban and jazz rock.
Supernatural (Arista) was
praised by Rolling Stone magazine:
“It’s been too long since Carlos
Santana delivered a new studio al
bum worthy of his awesome gifts,
and for whatever reasons, all the
high-profile attention he receives
here appears to have reinvigorated
his muse. Other tracks, like the
opening ‘(De Le) Yaleo,’ prove that
Santana remains supernaturally
graceful without too much help
from anyone. ”
Guests artists include Lauryn
Hill, Wyclef Jean, Dave Matthews,
Everlast and Eric Clapton.
“I walked into the studio and as
soon as Wyclef saw my face, he
wrote a song” Santana said.
“He kept looking at me. The
next thing you know, it’s like I’m
watching this guy channeling.
‘Maria Maria’ sounds like some
thing I’d write.”
