gave students the opportunity to
fill out a questionnaire on several
senior issues such as suggestions
for a commencement speaker and
a class logo.
They are also the first class
officers to hold an activity for the
class during their junior year, she
said, referring to the "junior night
out at Purdy's" last spring.
The first activity as seniors is
being planned for sometime this
summer, Davidson said. Seniors

should also look for an informa
tion table at drop-add in the fall
for a schedule of events.
Brown said there are 14 class
committees, some of which still
need members. "We want eve
ryone who wants to get involved
to take an active role," he said.
Majors said they welcomed any
questions and suggestions students
might have. "We are all three
here," she said, "and we want to
hear from people."
Brown and Davidson can be
reached this summer by calling the
Carolina Fund office (962-7031).
All of the officers may be reached
at the senior class office (962-1987).

are fun and pop-oriented, such as
"San Antonio Girl"; others show
a definite 50's rock 'n' roll influ
ence a la Buddy Holly and Elvis
Presley in songs like "I Love You
Too Much." Several other tunes
on the album like "The Rain Came
Down" and "I Aint Never Satis
fied" are more produced and
polished-sounding, with catchy
choruses. Steve's voice is by no
means beautiful but it is powerful
a gruff of cynicism and world
weariness. Unlike many of today's country
artists, Steve Earle writes all his
own songs and his lyrics are far
Turtles
above average. Like his rock 'n'
roll counterparts Springsteen and
Cougar-Mellencamp, Earle is
concerned with small-town life
and the common man's alienation
from an increasingly stressful,
complicated and technological
world. Themes of characters feel
ing as if they are trapped and need
to escape run throughout the
album in songs like "I Ain't Never
Satisfied," "Angry Young Man,"
and "The Week of Living Dan
gerously," which is about a man
who leaves his wife and kids
because "There's something Tout
Mondays always makes me blue."

patrol the beach at night to enforce
closing hours, Bland said. Often,
he said, curious people who want
to get a look at a sea turtle will
walk on the shore at night with
flashlights and lights frighten
the turtles away.
"We really don't encourage
people walking on the beach at
night," he said. "We don't want
(the turtles) disturbed."
Once a turtle lays her eggs,
Bland said, park personnel put
mesh coverings over the nests to
protect the eggs from predators.
The loggerhead usually lays about
100-150 eggs, which are a little
larger than golf balls, Bland said.
The eggs hatch about 60 to 90
days after they are laid, Bland said,
and volunteers often pitch in to
help the baby turtles make it into
the water.
"We get a lot of community
support," he said.

Like any good country song
writer, Earle has a way with a
story. He turns his attention
outward in "The Rain Came
Down," a powerful song about the
plight of the farmer. Not all the
songs are this bleak or serious
though "Sweet Little '66," for
example, is about a '66 Chevy.
Earle has also mastered the fine
art of saying a lot with a little
which is so important to country
music. In "Nowhere Road" he
sings "there's a road in Oklahoma
straighter than a preacher longer
than a memory."
It is ironic that although Earle's
music is more untraditional than
Yoakam's, Yoakam has had less
acceptance in Nashville and on
country radio and is seen as the
rebel. In large part this is due to
his outspoken criticism of music
land radio (he called Lee Green
wood the "Tony Orlando and
Dawn of C & W" and claimed that
the group Alabama "ought to be
forever locked away in a Ramada
Inn") and because he's chosen to
live and record in California.
Because Dwight's music is more
similar to honky-tonk country of
30 years ago by men like Hank
Williams than the overproduced
and mega-slick country of today
from Kenny Rogers and Ronnie
Milsap, his new album, "Hillbilly
Deluxe" sounds very innovative
and refreshing. The music itself is
stripped down to its bare essen
tials, which allows some fine guitar
and fiddle playing to stand out as
well as Dwight's wonderful voice.
Don't let the fact that this is
country music dissuade you from
listening, because it's actually quite
catchy and appealing.
Like Steve Earle, Dwight Yoa
kam writes most of his own songs
and has a way with words. In
general, though, he is more con
cerned with male-female relation
ships. Songs like "Little Ways"
and "This Drinkin' will kill me"
are typical country lovesick-boy
laments but are somewhat tongue
in cheek. Dwight sings in the latter.
"Death can come from this broken
heart Or it can come from this
bottle So why prolong the
agony Hey, bartender I think 111
hit the throttle."
Other songs also deal with
unrequited love in a more dra
matic and touching way. "John
son's Love" is about a man that
never gets over a lost love, and
"Throughout All Time" is a
mournful love song "As the
sunshine of the morning Broke
across your golden hair how I
wished to hold you tightly but
I was shy and did not dare."
Like Steve Earle, Yoakam is
able to create vivid images using
simple, colloquial language. Yoa
kam, like Earle, demonstrates a
social conscience, as evidenced in
"Readin' Rightin', Rt. 23" about
coal miners in his native Kentucky.
In different ways, Earle and
Yoakam are both changing the
face of country. They should make
new converts to country and
possibly even make country
"cool," as well as paving the way
for others. Basically these two
young men represent a new gener
