Increased vocals mark latest sound of Love Tractor Love Tractor is a rock band from Athens, Ga., but no one would know that just by listening to them. They have evolved a sound all of their own, seemingly uninfluenced by the current drive for a southern rock revival, as was demonstrated to a crowded Cat's Cradle on Saturday night. The band is currently on a regional tour, concentrating on the East Coast. Just a few weeks ago, they headlined at The Ritz in New York. And for the second time in just the last several months, Love . Tractor brought their unique sound to Chapel Hill fans. Love Tractor has been, up until recently, primarily an instrumen tal band. But their last album showed a definite trend towards a greater use of vocals, a trend to continue in the future. Bassist Armistead Wellford remarked after the show that the move towards vocals, though it was a new experience for them, was a natural move. "I like our instru mentals but I also get into the vocals. I wouldn't like having just instrumentals or just vocals." The group uses not two but three guitars and three guita rists who do their own thing up on stage. No synchronized danc ing for these three; they stare at the wall or at the floor as if seeking some sort of divine inspiration for their playing, hardly paying any attention to each other or to the audience. Wellford explained, "WeVe always tried to sound as different as we could, but we still mesh. Michael (Richmond, guit arist and lead vocals) has a more tinny sound and Mark (Cline, guitarist and vocals) has a rougher Campus Calendar The DTH Campus Calendar is a daily listing of University-related activities sponsored by academic departments, student services and student organizations offi caliy recognized by the Division of Student Affairs.

Rounded out by the steady beat of drummer Andrew Carter, the band certainly does mesh. Tightly constructed melodies interplay between the three guitars sometimes an eerie, almost min imalistic sound and other times a faster danceable rock pop. Changing from song to song with barely a pause in between, Love Tractor was there to play. Though a few of their older songs were played, many of the tunes performed Saturday night may have been unfamiliar to Love Tractor fans. It has been a year since their last release was recorded, and they have already started some studio work for an upcoming album. Though they haven't begun any of the real recording, Wellford claimed most of their set was the new material slated for the future album. But even though Love Tractor has switched to an increasing use of vocals, the sound system was an uncooperative factor. The vocals, ironically, could barely be heard over the guitars and the singers had to visibly force their voice to carry through the sound. But no one else seemed to be too upset, for the Love Tractor instru mentals were quite enough to keep the music and the crowd going. 7:30 p.m. RACIAL, the UNC race relations group, is presenting a forum deal ing with the segregation of the Greek system.

MWe just went out to have a good time and swim to the best of our abilities, and I'm glad it happened." In addition to their Rolls-Roycean individual feats, Bloch and Davis continued their impressive perfor mances in the three relay contests. North Carolina not only won the 400 yard free relay, the 400-yard medley relay and the 800-yard free relay, but the Tar Heels shattered one ACC record and qualified for the NCAA meet in all three. Other members of the various relay teams were Rich Gleason, John Fischetti, Tony Monasterio, Ralph Vick, Schroeder and Guenther. Tradition was also upheld as all the coaches were tossed into the water in the post-meet victory celebration.

Virginia had only one qualifier for the three-meter event, but North Carolina placed four people in the top eight of both the one- and three meter competitions, with Esposto leading the way with two second place finishes. Davis said the Tar Heels simply did the job they had talked about doing since August. "I'm ecstatic that we were able to pull off the ACC championship," he said. wWe did it with a lot of class, and I think that's something that should be noted for us. We came in here just as humble as we could be, knowing that we had a job to do." Noting all the freshmen and sopho mores that North Carolina has, Emerson looked ahead to the rosy future. "They're are just going to get better in the future, and I'm just looking forward to it," he said. "This could be the start of a tradition here of winning the ACCs."

All the conflicting information floating around about the Pill is enough to make you contemplate abstinence. We recommend a far less drastic measure: educate your self. Gather all the information you can from reliable sources and, together with your doctor, make the decision that's right for you. Here are a few facts to start you off. First, the Pill is actually many pills. Since its introduction in I960, it's evolved from one high dosage product into many much lower in dosage. From 150 megs, of estrogen in I960, down to 35 or less today. Yet, it's still the most effective form of birth control available to you other than sterilization. What about the Pill and breast cancer? Although there are con flicting reports concerning this issue, the Centers for Disease Con trol reported that women who took the Pill-even for 15 years-ran no higher risk of breast cancer than women who didn't. The CDC also reported that ovar ian and uterine cancer are substan tially less common among women who use oral contraceptives. In addition, Pill users are less likely to develop benign breast disease, pel vic inflammatory disease (tubal infections) and ovarian cysts. One of the Pill's greatest areas of misconception is conception. Does the Pill make you less fertile? Stud ies indicate that if you were fertile before you took the Pill, taking it should not affect your ability to have children later.

In winning 9-0 over the Yellow Jackets on Friday and 8-1 over UNF on Sunday, the Tar Heels improved to 2-0 in the ACC. Ann Stephenson, UNC's No. 1 singles player, dropped the first set against Tech's Kristy Kottich but rallied for a 2-6, 6-2, 6-0 victory. Stephenson got past UNF's Lori Webster on Sunday, 6-2, 7-6. GinaGoblirsch, UNC's No. 2, won both her matches, as did No. 3 Spencer Barnes, No. 4 Landis Cox, No. 5 Dana Kanell and No. 6 Valerie Farmer.

For example, if you are taking the Pill you should not smoke. Especially if you are over 35. Cigarette smoking is known to increase the risk of serious and possibly life-threatening adverse effects on the heart and blood vessels from Pill use. What's more, women with certain conditions or medical histories should not use the Pill.
