  • WESTERN 6 CAROLINIAN GET A LIFE September 05,2001 Those Wanting To See Changes Should Volunteer By Jenni Giles Staff Writer Now that students are embarking on their third week at Western, it is time that students, faculty and staff think aboutwhat role they play in relation to the univeFsity-as-a- whole. Often times people see a university, in this case Western Carolina, as just a place where they go to class each day or where they come to see football games or play intramural sports. People often see WCU as a place rather than an institution:"— —^. __ However, Western is not just aboxnr maintaining a 3.0 and getting a bachelors degree, it is about building communities and families. Western is a place where students come together, to live, to eat, to learn together, so why shouldn't students work together to make Western a better place? Walking through the halls or waiting in lines of cafeterias, people are heard complaining about the canipus food, about the parking, about the classes, about the dogs, about the residence halls, about this and that and that and this. By the way these people are talking, it often seems they aren't doing anythiog-4d solve their problems — they just want to complain to one another and hate their living situation, their learning situation, their college experience because they are too lazy to do anything about it. They are too self-absorbed and too self-interestectto do anything other than complain^^ There is so much that can be done. All that is really needed to make change is a few people who believe in the things that they aren't afraid to say aloud. To make change all that is needed is passion and patience. If there are things on this campus that are bothersome, annoying, dismaying, aggravating or inconvenient, then talk about it. And don't only talk about it to close friends, talk about it, write about it, join clubs, or even start clubs. Go to an SGA senator, go to the SGA president, write a letter to the Western Carolinian, or put up fliers. Most importantly, just get involved. The current population of Western Carolina will one day serve as the future leaders of America. If people see things on this campus that they want .to change and all they can think to do is whine about it, then what sort of citizens will they be when they are out in the real world, paying taxes and owning homes? What will they do then? Merely sit around and complain? If one finds interest in getting involved in clubs or organizations on campus there are many from which to choose. You could write for the Western Carolinian, get involved with the Student Government Association, the Women's Center, the Adult Learners Student Organization, and many more. If one wants off-campus volunteer work, there are possibilities in REACH, A.R.F, the Community Table, and more. If people are tired of what they are seeing on campus or on a wider level, or if they are just tired of whining and complaining then they should get involved and make a difference. Everyone should remember that the key to change is patience and passion, not to mention voice. If one wants to be heard then sometimes it is important to scream. CD Review Great Band, Great Producer Make Great Album By Eric Newsom Features Editor In many indie-rock circles, mentioning the name Cap'n Jazz will elicit a mixed response. The Chicago- based band defied convention and separated themselves so far from normal genres of music that it's hard to describe them in any light. Although they only released one album, "Analphabetaology," before breaking up, they have amassed a cult following and have spawned a number of successful bands from their ranks, including Joan of Arc, American Football and the Promise Ring. In nearly any musical circle, to evoke the name of Steve Albini is equal to speaking of Stanley Kubrick to film fans. The producer of albums like Nirvana's "In Utero," Jawbreaker's "24-Hour Revenge Therapy" and The Pixies' "Surfer Rosa," and the founding member behind legendary bands Big Black and Shellac has also achieved a cult following of his own. To put the two together on a project would create big waves throughout the underground rock world. But that's just what the two have done, Cap'n Jazz having retired their old moniker and recorded a new eponymous album under the name The Owls, with Albini producing. The result is one of the freshest, newest sounding albums of the year. Powered by lyricist/singer/guitarist Tim Kinsella's sometimes personal, sometimes nonsensical, yet always strangely poetic lyrics, the album is a sonic roller coaster with distorted, rocking ups and acoustic, melodic downs. Backed by his brother, drummer Mike Kinsella, bassist Sam Zurilla and new friend Victor Villareal on guitar, Kinsella wails through eight-tracks of self-analysis, broken-heartedness and empty dreams. Much like fellow indie- rockers Pavement, and legendary lyricist Bob Dylan, to appreciate this band, one has to appreciate the unusual vocal sty lings of the sometimes off-key but always honest singer. The titles of songs reflect their surreal tones, with names like "I Want the Quiet Moments of a Party Girl," "For Nate's Brother Whose Name I Never Knew or Can't Remember," and "I Want the Blindingly Cute to Confide in Me." Through the songs, the Owls put listeners through the wringer, making them often question, "Why am I still listening to this?" only to answer themselves, "For some reason, I can't stop listening to this...." Overall, the tones and tempos, breaks and beats are masterfully ruled by the man behind the buttons, Albini. Any band, including Bush (see "Razorblade Suitcase") and Fred Schneider of the B-52s ("Just Say Fred") would sound good under Albini's control, regardless of talent. But The Owls have talent galore and when the two come together, the result is one of the best albums of 2001. The Owls' self-titled debut is available from Jade Tree Records, and samples of songs "Everyone is My Friend," and "Life in the Hair Salon- Themed Bar on the Island" are available on the record label's website at http://www.jadetree.com.
