“/■lizard fell on my head the other day while 1 was studyimi, so 1
isfcd it off and it fell on the ground,” Keller said.
Keller said lizards have no place among students pursuing degrees.
“I felt no remorse about grinding that animal into the carpet,”
llei said.
Similar encounters with strange creatures in Evans have turned off
^Bstudents. Last year’s bat swarms were more than Brett Lang, a
ihomore general studies major, could handle.
“I thought it was a library, but apparently it is now the Bryan zoo-
;ical garden,” Lang said.
Finding an appealing study location is not always enough. Some
dents must go further to create a custom-fitted environment for
ir personality and body.
“Iliave to take off my shoes to study,” said Gail Kutac, a freshman

relax and concentrate.”
Matt Stellbauer, a freshman political science major, said he needs

“I need an open space to study,” Stellbauer said. “I feel too cooped

can be negative influences.
Problems like these cause some Aggies to leave the comforting
confines of their dwellings for more conducive study areas.

Kylie Minogue
Fever
Capitol Records
America has been miss
ing out, but not for long.
The U.S. release of Kylie
Minogue's hit album,
Fever, which already has
sold 2 million copies
worldwide, is guaranteed
to change disco dance floors forever.
The album begins with "More, More, More," which
introduces the fun, new disco beats that will
embrace listeners for the next hour. It also intro
duces listeners to Minogue's sexy vocals.
The third track, which has received heavy rotation
in clubs on the East and West Coast, "Can't Get You
Out of My Head," has a catchy tune and gives the pic
ture of obsessive love. "Fragile" is a bit slower but
keeps the tempo up. One of the best tracks on the
album, "In Your Eyes," is a seductive dance song that
makes girls want to get gutsy and get their groove on
with a smoldering hot stranger.
"Dancefloor" lets listeners imagine themselves
with the third season cast of "Sex and the City" at a
swank club. "Your Love" may send listeners to the
bar for a dance break, however the next track,
"Burning Up" gets the club grinding again. The bonus
tracks "Butterfly" and "Boy" announce that just
because the CD is coming to an end, the party is not
and inspire listeners to hit repeat. This album is filled
with hot dance hits that thankfully leave no room for
slow ballads or party-poopers. (Grade: A)
