Temptations rock Leede audience

By Arika Easley | April 28, 1997

Leede Arena was packed on Saturday with parents and students who came to see Motown legends, The Temptations, as part of the Freshmen Parents' Weekend festivities. People of various age groups were able to sing along to all of the classic Temptations' songs, and to admire their famous dance routines. Fashion has changed since 1965 -- no more tight, brightly colored suits, "permed" hairdos or thick cat-eyed glasses. Wearing loosely fitted, pastel pink suits, The Temptations have transcended not only their style of dress, visually illustrating the stylistic changes in their music. The group who performed on Saturday consisted of a Music Hall of Fame inductee, the legendary Otis Williams, newcomer Terry Weaks and Harry Barry, Ron Tyson, and Theo Peoples, who have been in the group for several years. Williams spoke during the concert about his experiences in the group for 37 years.

By Neil Desai | April 25, 1997

We were all drenched after the rainy night we took back last Friday evening during Sexual Assault Awareness Week (SAAW). I hope the fervor of the march, and that of the purposeful week, has not seeped underground along with the rain.

About 700 students each year take geography courses and the department graduates about 25 majors each year. The department, which is 55 years old, enjoys strong administrative and financial support.

In gorilla's midst: Hanke studied primates: Sophomore traveled to Uganda to study mountain gorillas with prof

By Michelle Rosen | April 24, 1997

Amidst the dense vegetation and high elevation of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in southwestern Uganda, Alexa Hanke '99 and Anthropology Professor Michele Goldsmith spent this past winter studying the behavioral patterns of mountain gorillas. Last fall, Goldsmith approached students in her Primate Biology and Behavior class about traveling with her to Uganda to aid her research on the comparative ecology of chimpanzees and gorillas. Hanke was selected from a group of six applicants. A few months later, the pair was living in camping conditions, half the time without bathrooms or running water, and hiking several miles a day. Accompanied by trackers over the mountainous terrain, the two followed a group of 13 gorillas that had never previously been researched. Braving the elements Hanke and Goldsmith were forced to contend with a variety of dangers, including charging gorillas, infestations of ants, a run-in with an elephant, and bacterial infections from unsafe drinking water. On a typical day, Hanke and Goldsmith would wake up early, build a fire to boil water for drinking and prepare breakfast.

To the Editor: Many of my female friends believe that there is no contesting the fact that "Men Suck." I have personally not yet given up hope and believe that there must be some good men out there ... after all, all of our daddies had to come from somewhere!
