along with arts and crafts courses-such

ty Plus also offers dance classes such as
ballroom dancing, country western

Most classes, depending on equip
ment, are limited to ten students.
A shop cart fee of $20 allows students
to access much of University Plus’
equipment.
'The program provides students
with drill presses, sanders and hand
tools while students provide materi

Students enrolled in the photogra

year-round.
TAMU Outdoors rents sports and
outdoor equipment such as volleyball
sets, canoes and camping gear at a
small fee for students enrolled in
classes. A two-person tent can ,be
rented for $5 per day and a canoe may
be rented for $15 per day. Footballs,
Frisbees and baseballs can be rented
at no cost.
Jason Kurton, coordinator for
TAMU Outdoors and Class of ’98,
said TAMU Outdoors has decent
prices on sports equipment that
students cannot find closer than
Austin and Houston. However, stu
dents who fail to return the rented
equipment may be blocked from
registration.
TAMU Outdoors, which is locat

fliers on fishing, hiking, paddling and
mountain biking. The fliers include
the names of parks where students
can participate in activities and tele
phone numbers to call for more in
formation.
The fliers also provide the distance
of the parks, ranches, lakes and rivers
from lexas A&M University.
Once students have rented their
equipment, they can take the game to
Research Park, where they may
find other students flying kites,
walking their dogs and
rollerblading.
A popular sport at Research
Park is Frisbee golf.
Randy Hammond and John
Viens, frequent Frisbee golfers,
said they have been playing
Frisbee golf for a couple of
years, but the sport did
not become popular at d
Research Park until
recently.
Hammond and Viens said they have
played at several courses in Bryan but
prefer the course at Research Park.
“There are more holes at Research
Park,” Viens said. “The Bryan courses
have nine holes while Research Park
has 18 holes.”
Randy Hammond said he prefers
Research Park because there are less
trees, and it is an easier course.
Students who prefer a sport with
more action can visit the Boondocks
Recreation Center. Boondocks has re
cently added a new go-cart track and
is adding three more paintball fields.
“We have finished the concrete go-
cart track, which is a Grand Prix style
track,” said Bob Sybil, general manag
er of Boondocks.
There is also an arcade where new
games are added each week.
Boondocks has been open for less
than one year, but many students
and groups have become frequent
visitors.
“The A&M Sports Car Club races
our go-carts once a week,” Sybil said.

The A&M Sports Car Club has also
recently decided to hold their meetings
at Boondocks.
Students who are not interested in
sports can visit local bars and clubs.
While the crowds decrease during
the summer, Adrian Sanchez, employ
ee at Zapato’s Cantina and a senior con
struction science major, said they are
still busy.
Sanchez said they have about 50 peo
ple during the weeknights and more
than 100 during the weekend.
Zapato’s Cantina offers a variety of lo
cal bands throughout the week whose
music ranges from rock and folk to Texas
country music. Zapato’s Cantina offers
Open Mic Night on Tuesdays and bands
perform every night except for Sundays
and Mondays.
“It’s a very relaxing atmosphere,”
Sanchez said. “Most people like to go
out on the deck and just drink beer.”

NEW YORK (AP) —
Destiny's Child
Survivor
Columbia Records
Destiny’s Child brings maturity, atti
tude and well-produced beats with the re
lease of their third album for Columbia
Records. Beyonce and the girls (Kelly and
Michelle) have swiftly risen to die top of
the mftsic industry after their successful
The Workings on the Wall. Many fans com
plain 1 itlbout Beyonce’s dominance of the
group, but honestly, die group would suf
fer without her leading voice.
Thu new single, “Bootylicious,” is sure to
hit the-cl uhs. It is fast-paced and showcases
all of the members’ talents. However, the
refq^qpce to “booty” is referred to as “jelly.”
Most people may find it less desirable to
call their backsides jelly, but like the term
“bugaboo,” the girls are attempting to add
words to their fans’ vocabularies.
Unfortunately for the listener who en
joys a variety of songs on an album, Sur
vivor is crowded with dance times on the
first half dien slowly dives into slower, bal
lad-like tunes.
The best track on the album, “Fancy”
takes a not-so-subtle attack on the
group’s former members. “Fancy,”
seems to call out the stereotypical girls
who continually do their friends wrong.
Most tracks were co-produced and
co-written by Beyonce, much like the
one-time Columbia artist whose con
tract recently expired, Mariah Carey.
And with a musical lull happening for
Carey, Beyonce has chosen to take on
some of her charac
teristics in more
than one way. She
plays with similar
A = instant classic B = a cut above C = average
D~ don't buy it F = burn in effigy
vocal, stylings and has collaborated on
songwriting with Walter Afanasieff.
But with radio-ready tracks on Sur
vivor, there are a few elements this trio
possesses that may harm their fan base.
The “Outro (DC-3) Thank You,”
track, when each of the girls suffocates
