CD Spotlight - Music Reviews

As a member of Husker Du, Bob
Mould helped spark the rise of the alternative
music scene. Furthermore, these songs, with
their frantic guitar work and pointed lyrics,
influenced many of today's artists. Mould's
work has continued to mature, and the latest
album by his current group, Sugar, is an
excellent display of his ability as a singer,
songwriter, guitarist, and producer.
Mould's songs have often dealt with
the emotions and feelings of life's experiences.
His music recounts the anguish of situations
such as the end of a relationship, yet also
manages to be uplifting to the listener. This
latest work is no exception. File This Under/
Easy Listening starts off with "Gift", a searing
song laden with Mould's guitar work. Another
excellent song is "Can't Help You Anymore,"
in which the guitar is subdued, but still
augments the sarcasm and pain that Mould
expresses in his lyrics. "Gee Angel" and
"Believe What Your Saying," are two
additional songs that stand out on this CD.
Overall, the ten tracks are all excellent examples
of Mould's talent. They also display that he is
not content to rest on his accomplishments and
that he continues to innovate and mature
musically
Is the Tarnhelm in trouble?
Reginald V. Duncan
Staff Writer
For those who were eagerly awaiting
the 1994 issue of the 'Tarnhelm," Penn State
Harrisburg's literary magazine, there was some
disappointment. It never was published.
According to 1)r. Theodora Rapp
Graham, Tarnhelm's Adviser, there were
several reasons why the magazine was not
published. Citing primarily a lack of
manpower, Dr. Graham said that the
'Tamhelm" was short of staff and did not have
an editor at the beginning of the semester.
She also stated that too few writing
Events
I promised myself that this column
would not mention the word Woodstock. It is
not that I have any strong feelings either way
about the original or the recent "made for the
90's" sequel. lam just tired of hearing about it.
Well, I have to break my promise.
On September 17th, Richie Havens
will be at the Little Buffalo Festival of the Arts
in Perry County. One of the original performers
at Woodstock, he has continued to set standards
and electrify audiences. This is one
performance that needs to be seen.

Often I hear individual's complain
that the music scene in this area is dead, or that
there is nothing to do on the weekends. This
really is not true. There are plenty of local
clubs offering a wide variety of live music. In
the Harrisburg area there is the Midtown
Tavern, Metropolis, and Zee's just to name a
few.
Standouts in the Lancaster area
include the Chameleon and the Uptown. Some
bands coming to the area in the upcoming
month are: No Flies on Frank on September
29th at the Midtown, and the Flaming
Caucasians on September 24 at the Chameleon.
In the next issue I will be reviewing
some local shows and will have an expanded
list of upcoming shows. Until then , I hope to
see you out there enjoying the local live music
scene.
and photography submissions had been
received, which further hurt the publication.
Snow days from January's blizzards
also played a big part in the demise of the 1994
issue. "It was hard to communicate," said Dr.
Graham. With only a few submissions, Graham
felt as though the "Tarnhelm" would have
deprived the campus culturally. "It's money
from SGA that supports the printing and it
should represent the campus," she explained.
In spite of the disaster last year, the
'Tarnhelm" is expected to bounce back strong.
Interest seems high to get an issue out this
year, and Dr. Graham remains optimistic. "We
were at Clubfest and are currently submitting
a budget. We have 25 interest cards," she said.

participated in writing the state hospice
licensure regulations. She instituted processes
needed for state licensure and Medicare
certification.
"Dying is such an isolating experience
in our society," Massie explained. "Life
emerges when the fear of death is faced rather
than repressed."
"Instead of death being a natural part
of life, where children learn to talk about dying
with the older generations, we have avoided
allowing our children to grow up with a
language to express death," said Massie. She
strongly believes that, 'life emerges when the
fear of death is faced rather than repressed."
Massie's experience with chronic
illness has led her to conclude that society's
mobility has resulted in a separation between

Ski club proposed
Jeffrey Stinnard
Sta Writer
After the extreme heat of this summer,
are you ready for some snow? If you are, and
you like to ski, then listen up. There may be
something in store for you.
At Penn State Harrisburg, we hope to
have a ski club in the near future. A club has
been proposed, and with some interest and
help from the student body we will be able to
enjoy the blankets of white powder this winter.
Some of the activities that have been
discussed are: weekly trips to Liberty and
Roundtop, day trips to the Poconos' Montage
and Elk Mts., weekend trips to Greek Peak,
Hunter Mt, and Snowshoe, WV.
They've even set up trips to
Killington, VT over New Years and a trip to
Breckenridge CO over Spring Break.
Since the club has yet to be chartered,
they do not have an office. So if you are
interested, you can call Brian or Greg at 944-
7036 for further information. Hope to see you
on the slopes!
