Hitlers persuasion rises again in ‘90s ad campaigns
I am currently enrolled in a
TEVE
class (HIS 434) entitled, “Hitler:
STEIN
Man and Legend.” This class is
giving me a thorough overview
Guest Colum nist
o f A dolph H itler and his N azi
regime o f the Third Reich.
When I originally signed up for the class, I was totally
naive as to why Hitler appealed to the German masses. I
assumed he had simply profited by the economic depres­
sion that destroyed G erm any in the 1920s and ‘30s I
assumed he had gained power not so much by anything he
said or did. but more by the circum stances surrounding
Germany at the time he was struggling for power. How
naive I turned out to be
W hat’s truly amazing is Hitler used many of the same
strategies to promote his Nazi cause that American political
candidates use today via the media to get people to vote for
them. They are the same strategies that many companies
use in advertising to get Americans to buy their products.
Hitler wrote in his autobiography, Mein Kampf. that if
propaganda is employed correctly, it can sway the masses
to follow whichever way the propagandist wants them to
go. Hitler added that propaganda must be popular, and it
must be adjusted to fit the most limited intellectual ability.
Sounds like a real put down to the masses, doesn’t it?
However, all you have to do is look at the balance sheets
o f RJ Reynolds with their Joe Camel slogan, or Keystone
with their “bitter beer” commercials to see that Hitler might
have been on to something.
Hitler believed that propaganda should be preached to
emotions rather than to logic. Remember George Bush’s
campaign ad about convicted felon W illie Horton, who
killed several people because B ush’s opponent, M ichael
Dukakis, had given Horton a furlough? If Bush had instead
used an ad showing a chart o f how much the Reagan-Bush
administration had cut unemployment, would he have got­
ten the same reaction from voters? I think not.
H itler added that people are slow -m inded and need
things to be repeated to them again and again. How many
times during Pres. Clinton’s 1996 campaign did you hear

the phrase, "the bridge to the 21st century”? Whether there
was a message in those words didn’t matter — by hearing it
enough, voters simply believed it must have meant some­
thing good.
Also, how often have you seen M otorola advertising
how “investing in the community is part o f our business”?
Yet at the same tim e, documented proof shows that the
company has contaminated ground water with toxic chemi­
cals. What are you more likely to believe after you’ve seen
the ad for the 50th time?

American populace o f the 1990s is just as gullible to propaganda/advertising as the German populace of the 1930s. It
demonstrates that we are tar from immune to an evil genius
like Hitler coming to power in this country. given the right
circumstances
A ll you have to do is look at a Bud Lite commercial to
see that if' .something is popular, it is most likely presented
in a crude enough manner so everyone understands it —
and it is repeated a million times over on television, radio
and newspapers until people buy it. ;
Look ait German in the '30s. Hitler said thousands o f
times that die Jews were subhuman. Maybe many Germans
didn’t believe it the first time. M aybe they didn’t even
believe it the hundredth time. But by the thousandth time,
many ended up believing it. They’d heard it so many times,
it became automatic. Like Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf::
The masses are slow-minded and need things to be repeated
to them again and again.
We are the masses. If we don’t educate ourselves to the
facts and take an active role in public policy, we are in
effect dupes to people like Hitler. We need to know when
we are being lied to by our leaders às well as being manipu­
lated by mass marketing.
O th erw ise, can w e really blam e the G erm ans who
bought Hitler’s lies?

IJMIHALOPOULOS
Johnson’s new cam paign pitch
Guest Colum nist
on ed ucation looks — a t first
glance, at least — like a low, inside fastball. Ready? Here it
comes:
Free college tuition.
Johnson first stepped onto the mound in late June during
a speech before the Arizona Democratic Party’s state com­
mittee meeting in Tempe, where be said the state should
first dramatically reduce, then eliminate tuition for resident
students at Arizona’s public universities and community
colleges. Cutting tuition should be. the next governor's pri­
ority, he said in those prepared remarks, not cutting more
taxes — or, for that matter, furnishing more plush govern­
ment offices.
“Instead of building 9th floor palace suites fen- the gov­
ernor, we should be helping to build futures for our young
people,” Johnson said, “W e have the ability to further
reduce the financial burden being faced by Arizona fami­
lies. After reducing their income tax burden, it is now time
to reduce the burden of sending children to college.’’
Translation: “ Hey, batter, batter, batter. Swing batter.”
Without concrete specifics — which Johnson offered nei­
ther in his speech before the Democratic committee nor an
accompanying press release — the former Phoenix mayor’s
rhetoric, like a lot of campaign speak, is basically polished
infield chatter.
According to ASU Assistant Director of Fiscal Planning
and Analysis Gaye Murphy, resident tuition accounted for
$44 million of ASU's total tuition intake of $120 million
for the current fiscal year. Approximately $33.9 million of
resident and out-of-state tuition is retained at the University
to be used for financial aid, which is not state funded, and
to run other University-sponsored programs such as student
government;
If that money was phased o u t—1not to mention the stu­
dent tuition income for the University of Arizona and the
state’s community colleges, which totals well over $100
million — what would fill the gap to prevent a correspond­
ing drop in the quality of education at ASU?
In a recent interview, Johnson would not substantially
elaborate on his plan to cut and eventually wipe out student

tuition. Calling from a finicky cellular phone from an air­
port garage — not a conducive environment to discuss a
grand political vision — he was pressed to explain exactly
where he would get the money to make up the difference.
There’s tax increases, for example, or cuts to other areas of
the state budget, but Johnson stayed away from those
options and simply reiterated his desire to m ake higher
education more affordable.
The only specific source o f funding Johnson pointed to
was the unexpected $400 million budget surplus the state
o f Arizona came up with at the end o f the last year. Instead
o f passing that money back to the people in the form o f tax
reb ates as prom inent state leg islato rs have proposed,
Johnson said, he would use it to cut college tuition and bet­
tering the public school system, especially lowering the
class size in poor school districts.
Johnson also took a m om ent to slam G overnor Fife
Symington and board o f regents member Eddie Basha — a
likely opponent for the Democratic gubernatorial nomina­
tion — for not reducing tuition in recent years.
“The state constitution says that education should be
nearly free,” Johnson says. “Governor Symington and the
board o f regents have been derelict on that. Eddie Basha is
on the board of regents and has ignored this. In fact, tuition
costs have risen. Fife Symington has been in office for
eight years and has used the money, in my opinion, to buy
votes.”
Gov. Sym ington’s and Basha’s offices did not return
repeated messages requesting comment. Symington has an
excuse — its certain that he’s awfully busy these days with
phony press meetings and overdue bills and such. Basha, I
suppose, didn’t feel the need to blow any campaign smoke.
Jo h n so n is n ’t p la n n in g to cu t tu itio n co m p le tely
overnight but would like to see a tuition-free Arizona by
the year 2010.
“The plan is 13 years away, “ he said.“ These are long­
term goals for the Johnson administration.”
So Johnson’s plan isn’t a fastball, a ft« all. In fact, it’s
so slow it takes more than two terms as governor to bring it
to realization.
That’s a foul way to get a vote.

baseball-card company in America. In 1981, baseball-card
collecting enjoyed a surge in popularity, and two compa­
nies (Fleer and Donruss) joined the market to meet the
enhanced demand.
Around this time, baseball-card stores became a com­
mon addition to strip m alls, especially in m ajor-league
cities. Sustained by the trade o f older cards, which appreci­
ated steadily through the ‘80s, the card dealerships pros­
pered. Then in 1988, the market exploded.
New collectors popped up in record numbers, and the
value of older cards increased rapidly. The dealers who had
been in business since the early 1980s, with a stockpile of
older cards and the capital to dominate the new card mar­
ket, made outrageous profits.
Seeing the exorbitant
a m o u n t o f m o n ey to be m ad e fro m th e in d u stry ,
entrepreneurs stumbled, over each other to open up card
dealerships. New dealers popped up faster than red-tile
roofs in Mesa from 1988-92. The increased demand sus­
tained their profits, at least until the inevitable market satu­
ration.
Any idiot could see it coming.
By 1992, there were more than 10 card makers: Topps
alone produced an estim ated 1 billion cards that year.
Obviously, 1992 baseball cards would never be scarce.
The thrill o f being only one o f a few people to own a
1952 Mickey Mantle card would never again be felt since
there were literally enough 1990s baseball card* for every
person in the world to own one.
To put it bluntly, entering the baseball-card market after
1991 was a stupid idea. It was as clear as a cellophane pack
to those o f us who had already been collecting that the late-

■

‘80s increase in collecting interest was as volatile as any
other commercial trend.
The point o f this protracted anecdote is this: With all the
conservative talk about America being a hostile place to do
business, with taxes and regulation causing more than 90
percent o f businesses to fail, 1 suggest a less political rea­
son for such failure — some businesses are simply bad
ideas.
U n lik e d o c to rs, la w y e rs, p o lic e o r p ro fe s s o rs ,
entrepreneurs need not acquire special training to practice
their profession. Thus, any idiot can open a POG or pager
stand, even if he did not have the discipline and compe­
tence to finish school. The free market is the sole screening
process for the competence of an entrepreneur.
And the free market is not kind to thdse who jum p onto
the bandwagon of a volatile trend too late. The free market
is not kind to those who are pre-ordained to inherit daddy’s
business: even though a neutral party w ould be hardpressed to hire them even as a busboy.
But these failed entrepreneurs are always quick to blame
taxes and regulation for their failure. After all, it is human
nature not to take responsibility for the bad decisions that
we make.
The sour word spreads faster than ever these days. Not a
day goes by on conservative talk radio w ithout several
callers saying, “I am a small business owner, and I feel that
l am being taxed and regulated to death.” Conservative ide­
alists w ho, iro n ically , preach personal resp o n sib ility
regarding policies such as a social safety net are quick to
exploit these anecdotes to push their agendas.
Before we Imow it, there is an illusion of a conservative
“mood” in the nation that translates into election victories

Flying journalist
livin g his dream
By D avid C erull
S tate P ress

Bruce Haffner was about 600 feet off the ground.
Through his headset he was listening to air traffic con­
trollers, police-band radios and TV producers, all while trying
to fly a $1 million helicopter and broadcast his news report.
Haffner. who graduated from ASU in 1980 with a bach­
e lo r ’s d e g re e in b ro ad castin g , has been p ilo tin g the
NewsChannel 3 helicopter for KTVK-TV Phoenix for more
than a year. He replaced Jerry Foster, a near-legendary TV
personality who stepped down as the station’s pilot and
reporter due to legal problems involving drug use. Before
sitting in the pilot seat, Haffner was Foster’s cameraman.
Haffner tilted the helicopter at a slight angle so his cam­
eraman, Rob McDade, could get a shot of the remains of a
burned-out building for the five o’clock newscast
Haffner switched the camera lights on and he delivered
his live report on cue from the station, glancing periodically
at notes he balanced on one knee.
Haffner’said that his job is hard at times as both a televi­
sion news reporter and helicopter pilot, but worth it.
“A lot o f people say it's the best job in the world, and 1
have to agree with them." said Haffner. 41. who is original­
ly from St. Louis, Mo.
H a ffn e r, w ho h as been m a rrie d to C han n el 3
Entertainment Reporter Lisa Taranto for about two years
and has two daughters ages 7 and 9 from a previous mar­
riage. He had already worked 15 years in television journal­
ism when he was offered the job of pilot/rcporter.
Soon after, he became an Arizona Press Club and Rocky
Mountain Emmy Award winning cameraman for his cover­
age of events throughout the state.
Three years ago, long before he thought he would be in
the pilot’s seat for Channel 3, Haffner decided to give flight
to a childhood dream and learn how to fly helicopters.
“It was hard learning to fly die helicopter,” he said. “I had
a lot of self-doubt, and I wasn’t sure if I could do it or not.”
Foster then taught him how to do TV from his aerial
platform, Haffner said.
Phil Alvidrez, vice president of news at Channel 3, said
he thought Haffner was unrealistic when he came into his
office one day and told him that he wanted to fly a heli­

copter for the station.
“I told him that he had almost no chance of that happening,”
said Alvidrez, who has worked with Haffner for 11 years.
Then Foster’s departure opened the door for Haffner to
temporarily take his place. When Foster was didn’t return,
Haffner was offered the job on a full-time basis.
“I felt guilty about Jerry and how I was stepping into his
position, especially after training me. Then (Foster) called
me and told me not to feel guilty about what happened,”
Haffner said.
Foster supports Haffner in the pilot seal he once commanded.
“Bruce was in the right place at the right time, and he
took advantage o f it. T here’s nothing wrong with that,”
Foster said. “I spent a lot o f time with him, and I wanted

him to be the best, I’m very proud of him.
“Bruce is a quick learner. He worked hard at it and he
deserves what he has. When you want to be good at some­
thing, you put your body and soul into it and you’ll become
the best, and that’s what he did.”
Haffner said that his family is important to him, and
finding a balance between his demanding job and his life is
something that he continues to work on.
At the same timè, Haffner said he is very thankful to
Alvidrez for giving him die opportunity o f a lifetime.
“I alw ays thought years ago, if I could mix the two
things together, (photography and flying) that would be
great,” Haffner said. “ And when I look at how everything
turned out, I feel that I’m a really lucky guy.”

Free ASU service benefits students with legal problems
B y D avid W oodeill
S tate P ress

For students with legal problems and a tight budget, help
is as near as the third floor of the Memorial Union.
At Student Legal Services, students can get assistance
with auto mechanic disputes, bankruptcy, criminal cases,

consum er debt or collection, landlord-tenant disputes,
wages or employment problems, traffic violations, powers
of attorney and small claims. And it’s all free.
David Swain, who heads up the department, is an attor­
ney who meets students for free half-hour depositions and
offers free legal advice about student’s rights to due process.

to g iv e o u r s p r in g a n d s u m m e r c lo t h in g ,

Swain said that SLS will offer students who are current­
ly enrolled (at least one credit), advice on what their rights
are and counsel them in procedural and substantive law
matters and will even assist them in preparing court docu­
ments or letters.
“We can help students in virtually any legal matter they
have, whether it be a traffic ticket or a landlord-tenant dis­
pute or divorce. However, the Board o f Regents prevents
us from representing people in court,” Swain said.
Swain gave Up his private practice to work full-time for
ASU 13 years ago. Formerly an ASU professor in the col­
lege of business, Swain said he finds his work more fulfill­
ing than a private practice, since he knows he’s helping
students who can’t otherwise afford legal assistance.
“O f course, this doesn’t pay anything near what a pri­
vate practice pays, but there are, trade-offs. I get more time
for myself and still feel like I’m really doing something
worthwhile for other people,” he said.
Leon Shell, director o f student affairs for ASU East, and
associate vice president of student affairs, said the idea for
the service branched off from an Associated Students of
ASU program , the O ff-Cam pus T enant’s A ssociation,
which assisted students in situations with landlords.
“They were dealing with situations that were out of
their expertise” Shell said. “(Legal Services) has been a
very successful program for ASASU. Over the years they
have received a number of inquiries from other universities
that heard about our program and wanted to get one started
at their school.”
Students who would like to contact SLS can call 9656307. The SLS office is located on the third level of the
Memorial Union Building in room N-328.

Massachusetts students to get a break on school loans
B yJ o n M arcus
A ssociated P ress

BOSTON — About 600 students who went to college in
Massachusetts in the early 1980s are in for a pleasant sur­
prise this summer: Portions of their school loans are about
to be forgiven.
The number o f students who defaulted on loans issued
by the Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority was
so much lower than expected that, to avoid losing its non­
profit status, the agency is forgiving an average o f $2,500
in outstanding loans for some borrowers.
The high repayment rate is attributed to an improved
e c o n o m y and a n a tio n a l crack d o w n on stu d e n t loan
defaults, which have fallen 50 percent since: 1990.
“ The collection efforts are much more sophisticated
than they used to be,” said David Longanecker, assistant
U S. secretary of education for postsecondary education.
“ W e have much m ore effective m eans o f discovering
defaults and locating the defaulter. And. of course, as peo­
ple are more likely to get jobs, they’re less likely to go into
default.” '
.

The national student loan default rate declined from a
high o f 22.4 percent in 1990 to 10.7 percent in 1994,
according to the Education Department.
The trend follows tough enforcement measures, among
them the confiscation o f w ages o r federal incom e tax
refunds earned by 598,000 former students who defaulted
on their loans; lawsuits against more than 8,000 defaulters;
and the potentially em barrassing publication o f student
default rates for virtually every college, university and trade
school. More than 140 schools with the worst rates have
been dropped from federal student loan programs altogether.
“ W e’ve been eliminating a lot of the schools that were
ripping people off,” Longanecker said.
In addition, form er students who are having, trouble
making payments now are given the opportunity to restruc­
ture or consolidate their loans.
“ The major reason people don’t repay their student loan
is because they can ’t,” said Ken M clnerney, assistant
directo r o f the N ational A ssociation o f Financial Aid
Administrators. “ They don’t have the money to do so.”
The Massachusetts loan authority requires students to'

co-sign the loan with their parents, who must be creditwor­
thy. The result: a 1.15 percent default rate.
“ The up-front work is very strong,” said Elizabeth
Fontaine, associate director. “ The credit measures that
families are going through are credit standards comparable
to what they have to meet for a consumer loan.”
So high is the repayment rate that the authority must
now return $1.5 million to maintain its nonprofit status and
continue to sell tax-exempt bonds.
The agency can lose its tax-exempt status i f it earns a
higher-than-projected return on its loans. The allowable
return is specified under the terms of the bonds.
So about 600 borrowers in good standing who secured
their loans with home equity in the early 1980s will see an
average o f $2,500 o f the money they still owe forgiven.
Longanecker is banking on the falling default rates to
help support the C linton ad m in istratio n ’s request for
increased student aid.
“ It’s easier to make the case for both loans and for grant
assistance when Congress perceives that those programs are
being managed and used appropriately,” he said.

F re n c h astro nau t cut fro m M ir flig h t
M OSCOW (A P) — R ussian space officials decided
Monday to bump a French astronaut from the next flight to
Mir and finalized a decision to delay repairs on their trou­
bled space station until a new crew arrives.
Astronaut Leopold Eyharts’ projected experiments will
take more power than the station can supply, Russian offi­
cials said, and the rocket’s storage space can be put to bet­
ter use by sending up more equipment.
Mission control officials had said over the weekend that
critical repair work on the station would be delayed until a
new crew boards Mir, but top officials met today to con­
firm the decision.
Deputy Flight Controller Igor Goncharov said they con­
cluded that the current crew was not up to carrying out the
repairs after a string o f setbacks on the station in recent
weeks. He also confirmed Eyharts would not be aboard die
spacecraft that is to blast off for M ir on Aug. 5.

said at a news conference after the officials met.
T he m em bers o f the sta tio n ’s next crew , R ussians
Anatoly Solovyov and Pavel Vinogradov, have been prac­
ticing the repairs in an underwater tank at the cosmonaut
training center outside Moscow.
The collision between the cargo ship and the Mir during
a practice docking punched a hole in the station’s Spektr
module, forcing the crew to seal it off and disconnect its
solar panels. The station has been operating on partial
power ever since.

REALISTIC PLAN FOR COMPUTERS
By M att M organ
State P ress

Arizona officials are racing against the clock to convert
the state’s computer systems to those that can read the year
correctly after 2000,
In the “Year 2000” link on the state’s web page, Gov.
Fife Symington posted a letter to government agency direc­
tors outlining the “major problems for computer software
systems Using two-digit year data fields.”
Symington wrote that unless all agencies fix their pro­
gram s, the results could include “system s failures and
severe service disruptions for agencies and the citizens o f
Arizona.”
T he G overn m en t In form ation T echnology A gency
(GITA) was created July 1 to ensure all state agencies, such
as th e D e p a rtm e n t o f E co n o m ic S e c u rity an d the
D epartm ent o f Revenue, are taking necessary steps to
update software before (he new century.
The Year 2000 project is now top priority for GITA.
John McDowell, former state chief-information officer,
laid the groundwork for GITA. John B. Kelly, GITA’S first
director, took over McDowell’s responsibilities when the
agency started up.
McDowell said the state has addressed the Year 2000
project for the last 18 months, and some agencies have been
working longer.
“Most of the agencies have gone through the bottom-up
analysis and are starting to fix them (the problems),” he said.
Programmers who understand COBOL, a common busi­
ness programming language, will play an integral part of the
fixing process, McDowell said.
Since most of the state’s computers use COBOL, those
knowledgeable with the language will be a hot commodity,
he added.
Agencies will most likely pool their resources for the
specialists. However, McDowell said he fears those special­
ists may be enticed to leave their state jobs by companies
dial can afford to pay better salaries.
“COBOL programmers are going to be worth a lot,” he
said.
In addition, the Department o f Administration awarded
contracts to 14 companies to size up the problem and help
upgrade the systems, he said.
“O ur initial position is that all organizations had to
absorb the project,” he said.
Agencies were asked to work the program into their bud­
gets, but McDowell said legislators recently appropriated
$27 million for the next two fiscal years for those agencies
that need additional funding.
From now until Jan. 1, 2000, G ITA w ill conduct a
month-by-month watch, McDowell said, “ .. to make sure
every agency has a realistic plan.”

W arren Schlesiger, a Y ear 2000 pro­
je c t m an ag er in P hoenix, said the city
began its project in 1995.
‘T he city has been really active,” he said.
Schlesiger works on mainframe appli­

databases. A ny system that rolls over into
the next century is subject to problem s,
he said.
On a wafer bill, for exam ple, the com ­

is to sim ply replace the program with one

The cost to upgrade th e finan­

He said the programs are sched­

“ They all wanted to come back

added. “I don’t: think it was viewed

“i don’t even know where I’d start,” he said. “I don’t
know that it would be all that interesting to other people.
What-I find interesting, I think a lot of people find a little
mundane.”
M cC ain’s grassroots upbringing led him to start the
America Street Foundation, a group that raises money to
rebuild homes for low-income families in Charleston, S.C.,
by putting on acoustic performances.
“W e’ve raised to date, I think $250,000 to rebuild these
homes.” McCain said. “It’s not a handout, it’s a hand up. This
is not for people on welfare. This is for people that are work­
ing trying to improve their situation and we’re thefe to help.”
Thus far McCain’s organization has broken ground on
two homes and have 15 in the works.
“People m ay not know what w e’re doing,” he said.
“With my limited success 1 can make a big difference. I’m
proud of the fact that I’ve raised more money for the chari­
ty then I’ve made for myself.”
M cC ain’s m odest success has landed him one o f his
m ost cherished memories — getting on The Late Show
with David Letterman.
“T hat was the m om ent my father first got it,” said
McCain. ‘I t had nothing to do with national TV or any of
that crap. Finally, it .was some sort o f affirmation, some
sort of approval. It was the classic struggle o f the son seek­
ing approval from his father.”
The approval he received wasn’t just from his father,
though.
“I lug around that burden o f trying to prove something
— that idl this effort and time of riding in U-Haul trucks
and sleeping on people’s floors and digging in Couches for
change was worth something,” McCain said. “Moreover,
you have to find that in yourself, and at that moment I had
approval from within.”
McCain tours extensively and once booked 317 gigs in a
year. However, he said he loves the road and has learned
many things. One of those things is to hot bring underwear
on his trips.
“1 always joke around about that kinda stuff goofin' up,”
he said. “I did actually quit wearing underwear — it was
just one more thing to lose, to take up space, and you don’t
really need it.”
But don’t consider him less than hygienic.
“I brush my teeth like three times a day, does that make up
for the lack of underwear? I don’t worry about it too much.”

Springsteen influence
in Jersey band’s music
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)— The Delevantes don’t come
from the South, or even South Jersey. But they still make some
of the brightest country music today.
Bob a id Mike Delevante were raised in Rutherford, NJ., and
later moved eight miles to Hoboken, Frank Sinatra’s hometown.
On their Chpitol Records debut this month, “Postcards from
Along the Way,” many of die songs are about home —- either
loving it or desperately needing to get out Sometimes both.
It’s a tried-and-true country music theme, and also one wellexplored by another Jersey native, Bruce Springsteen. The
Delevantes’ producer is Gary Tallent, bassist in Springsteen’s
old E Street Band.
“ The influence o f Springsteen was very strong in New
Jersey,” said Tallent, who, like the Delevantes, moved from
New Jersey to NashviBe.
“They write about what they know. It’s my job to kind of keep
it (Springsteen influence) to a minimum, not to maximize it,
because people will point fingers and make a big deal out of i t ”
The subject matter on “Postcards From Along the Way” is
akin to Springsteen but the sound sure isn’t. The Delevantes
offer nasal harmonies delivered atop single, poignant melodies.
“ John Wayne Lives in Hoboken” is a love letter from the
Delevantes to their hometown. It includes this vase:
“ Now the stars they sparkle and the stars they shine —far,
far off from die riverside.
But the stars they sparkle and the stars they shine —right
h o e in this little town o f mine. ”
Many o f their songs are byproducts o f Bob and Mike
Delevante pondering their decision to leave Hoboken in 1993
to try their luck in Nashville.
“ It was a bigger sacrifice than I realized,” Mike said. “ You
start to miss things a lot more. It’s just always there in the back
of your mind.
“ You wonder, ‘What if I hadn’t done this, what if I had
stayed home?’ A lot of ora friends are as happy as can be just
slaying in one pUre-L.-~> - - •».:
Their four-piece band Who’s.Yora Daddy became a main­
stay in Hoboken, a live music hotspot in the 1980s. In 1988, the
brothers made their first trip to Nashville to pitch their work to
music publishers. One o f the first, M ike Prater at Warner
Qiappelk listened to their tape and asked to hear more.
“ That’s an amazing thing,” Bob said. “ In New York, you
might see a receptionist.”
The Delevantes evoitually signed a publishing deal with
Porter, and started making frequent trips to Nashville before
pulling up stakes and moving there.
At a Steve Earle show, drey met Talfent.
“ We were all wearing leather jack ets,” Tallent sa id ..
“ Supposedly, I walked up to them and said, ‘You must be
from New Jersey.’

L iv erp o o l’s T reehouse is N o b o d y ’s M o n k e y
B y J eff M o r r is
S ta te P ress

Growing up in Liverpool, England, one is
not dealt many choices o f job professions,
according to m em bers o f Treehouse. One
either becomes a footballer, boxer, musician,
o r in d u stria l w o rk er. T h e fo u r m en o f
Treehouse chose music.
Now in the United States, touring in sup­
port of their debut album Nobody’s Monkey
from Breaking Records/A tlantic, they are
determined to make it.
“People always say to us ‘how long are
you in America.’” said lead singer and gui­
tarist Pete Riley. “And we say, ‘until we’re
famous.’”
Treehouse consists of Paul O ’Brien (back-,
ground vocals, bass), Keith Thomas (guitars,
mandolin), Abe Juckes (drums, percussion)
and Riley.
In England, Treehouse saw m usic as
their only opportunity to make something o f
themselves.
“It’s high unemployment — not to paint it
all black — but if someone wants something
they’re more aggressive,” Riley said. “I think
the city drives that from within.”
T h at attitu d e and m e n ta lity b ro u g h t
Treehouse to Los Angeles for a three-week
stint. They didn’t know what to expect, but
they had big dreams.
By chance, Treehouse decided to play at
Borders Books and Music one Sunday after­
noon. This turned out to be their best career
move so far, Thomas said.
“We were asked it we wanted to play a
bookstore," he said. “We said, ‘sure, we’re
twt ttorng anything today.
Fate was smiling for Treehouse that day,
A record executive saw them play and rec­
ommended the band to Breaking Records.
This South Carolina-based record company is
headed by Rusty Harmon, who is also man­
ager of Hootie aud the Blowtish.
“We were ju st sort of hiuigin out, chillin out,” Riley said- “it wasn’t even a prop­
er show.” ■
The band went back to England, unaware
of the record company’s interest. The phone
calls started pouring in when the band arrived
home, They signed with Breaking Records
soon after.
One o f their first gigs was to open for
Hootie on a leg of a European tour. The first
venue T reehouse p lay ed was n ear th eir
hometown of Liverpool to a crowd o f 7.000.
“1 remember we walked out on stage and
Pete said, ‘Hello, w e’re from Liverpool,”

Treehouses guitarist and lead vocalist, Peter Riley (right) jam s with his mate Keith Thom as,
guitar and vocals, at G ibsons W ednesday evening.

Juckes said,“ The place went mad! We were
all very nervous; it was quite intimidating.”
The p resen t tour gave T reehouse the
opportunity to open for Edwin McCain, The
band said the two groups have jelled and
camaraderie runs deep.
“It’s been a pleasure opening for Edwin
McCain,” Riley said. “The whole band is like
such excellent guys.”
While it may appear the record company
has helped greatly, the initial single, “Daddy
Inside,” hasn’t received the radio airplay they
had hoped for.
“ B ig c o rp o ra te co m p a n ie s te n d to
release a single for a baby band like us,

w ithout getting behind it, to see how the
public responds to it,” Riley said. “W e’ve
had great responses no matter where ¡We’ve
played and 1 think they’ll take notice o f
that. I mean you can’t make (the) public
like a band. You can hype a band, but at
the end o f the day, it’s down to the public
if the band will be successful or not.”
However, Treehouse is poised not to fold
and isn’t going down without a fight.
“It’s so easy for a band to crumble. I think
they know w e’re not going to crum ble,”
Riley said. “Being 7,000 miles away from
home makes us more determined.”
But it hasn’t been all roses, and the dis­

tance away takes it’s toll on the band.
“A lot o f tim es if one o f us is dow n,
another one of us says, ‘Look where we are
at. look at what we are doing,’’’ Thomas said.
“And like that, we’re back-up again.” ’
Future pians look bright as the record
company seems to be finally catching on and
promoting the band. Treehouse has another
single to be released next month, “Million
Places at Once,” with a video not too long
after.
“W e’re all pretty confident and w e’re
looking forward to it (the next single and
video),” Riley said- “We hope and think we’ll
have a good turn about o f fortune com e
August.”
Treehouse crosses Over both continental
barriers and sounds to form their brand of
music. Ask them to describe their music and
the response is a confident “good.”
“It’s a global sound, universal sound,”
Riley said. “It’s not Brit pop of American, it’s
just a melting pot.”
The difference in England and America’s
music is severe, in England, there is only one
national radio station and if aspiring musi­
cian’s tunes aren’t played on it, odds are slim
for success.
“In England, you know whether you’re
going to have a hit in three weeks,” Juckes
said. “In America it could take two years.”
The band said they draw massive influ­
ence from the Beatles.
The lyrics consist of everyday things to
more personal matters. Riley said his lyrics
are about “things when you wake-up, when
you open the door, you look out in the street
or in the neighborhood you live— Things
like relationships. Everything’s more per­
sonal as well.”
The name “Treehouse” Was derived in a
“p re tty boring and pretty sim ple w ay ,”
O ’Brien said. “It was by a fluke. The words
‘tree’ and ‘house’ kept popping up and We
sort of put them together ”
The band said they like the connotation.
“If has a gang cliqoe type of feel, which is
coot” Thomas said.“ Being in a band is like
being in a gang ,.. you have your own sort of
universe going on — it’s quite weird actually,”
Treehouse will be on the road for the next
six weeks, but have interest in making resi­
dence in the U n ited S tates. T hey said
Americans have treated them very well.
“People df America, rather than resenting
us British guys (for) coming over (and) being
signed to one of your record labels, are noth­
ing but supportive,” Riley said.

Katherine Whalen of Squirrel Nut Zippers, show s off her m usical diversity on the banjo.

They're just sq u irrels that found th e ir nut
By J eff M orris
State P ress

Squirrel Nut Zippers, to say the least, are alternative to the
rock and roll music scene.
From their unusual sound to their lyrics to their modest style
of living, this group defies die norms of an already eccentric
profession.
Hailing from North Carolina, The Squirrel Nut Zippers are
Katharine Whalen (vocals, banjo), Jim Mathus (vocals, guitar,
trombone), Chris Phillips (drums), Duke Heitger (trumpet),
Andrew Bird (fiddle), Ken Mosher (guitar, baritone and alto
saxophone), and Tom Maxwell (vocals, guitar, baritone saxo­
phone, clarinet).
With such an array of multi-talented musicians, the band
brings back sounds horn past generations with a new twist dial
is catching cm.
“We definitely incorporate elements of music that have not
been incorporated for maybe 40 years,” Maxwell said. “People
notice that.”
The band said they are influenced by early calypso and gospel
m usic as w ell as D uke E llington, L es P aul and Louis
Armstrong.
W hile the m usic may encom pass a variety o f sounds,
Maxwell said the result was their own.
“Squirrel Nut Zippers music — that is the description for that
sound,” he said.
That sound is nearing the one-million mark for records sold, on
the Hot album — which puts the Zippers in a precarious position.
‘1 kinda like where we’re at now. The record might go plat­
inum and that’s amazing,” Maxwell said. “I would have never
wished for multi-platinum sales, because I think you protrude
on your next record, because everyone thinks it should sound
like your last one. We really just want to keep getting better,
that’s all we care about

As record sales continue to rise, Squirrel Nut Zippers are hy­
ing to keep a level head about their achievements,
“The goal of this success is self-containment” Mosher said.
Incredible as it may seem, die prosperity hasn’t changed the
Zippers’ way of life and actually don’t have die financial gain
people may think.
“We still haven’t seen any royalties. We make all our money
from touring,” Maxwell said “It’s not quite what people think
it is in .terms of wealth and standard of living, but we’re not
complaining either.
/
“Our goals financially are pretty m odest” Maxwell said.
“People want to own their own home and shit like that we’re
not going out to get yachts or crap like that”
With a very unpretentious background the prosperity hasn’t
caused the Zippers to get greedy.
“I don’t think many people want to live ostentatiously,”
Maxwell said “since we spent most of our lives flat broke.”
Mosher joked and, said, “I want areally ldck-ass walnut pool
table, with great bumpers.”
The name Squirrel Nut Zippers comes from a candy compa­
ny made in Massachusetts. They said the company has been
around for 100 years and have been making the Nut Zipper
since 1927. The candy is still made today, which was a great
risk on the business’s part, donating a product’s name to a rock
and roll band.
“They said (the company) don’t do anything inappropriate
and we don’t,” Maxwell said. “We wouldn’t anyway.”
The decision to use the name for die band seems to be prof­
itable for the candy . Mosher said, “die companies sales have
actually gone up in some areas of the country.”
Squirrel Nut Zippers’ rising popularity has given th a n the
opportunity to play some prized shows, such as the main stage
at this year’s H.O.R.D.E. festival, the Presidential Inauguration
and the Olympics.

They have also had the opportunity to meet some of their
favorite musicians.
“We met A1 Casey, who was Fats Waller’s guitar player,”
Maxwell said, “The only surviving member from his band and
he’s become a friend.”
“We have got to the point where we could actually approach
some of these people as something of a peer even though we’re
big fans,” Mosher said: “Oh hell, man, T still stand back stage
and I feel I’m doing something wrong, it’s like ‘olfyeah, I got a
pass.”
It may appear die Zippers’ music has the conventionality and
decorum of the 1950’s, but lyrically it’s not happy days.
“The great part of the music that excites me is the menacing
element to it,” Maxwell said. “It’s kind of the fucked-up under- ground theme but we do it in a mannered way, so we’re not
shoving it in people’s face.”
Maxwell said he was unsure of what he was really trying to
get at in his writing, but said he writes on everything from spirituality to transvestites to heroin dealers.
‘Many of our songs are pretty heavy duty,” he said. “There is
still the same stories about love, game and loss that there
always is, but we come about in a different way.”
;
One of those ways is having short songs, four minute tunes
are an exception.
“People latch on to it because they are hearmg something dif­
ferent every three minutes,” Mosher said. ‘I t (die music) has
merit in it’s diversity.”
^
The band said they enjoy the simple life and everyone loves
gardening and cooking. And with that serene sense of quiet at
home, ironically, their shows are absolutely crazy.
What should you expect if you attend a Squirrel Nut Zippers
concert?
“Flailing,” Maxwell said “A riot, we give than the whole enter­
tainment package. We want it to be a conversion in experience.”

Brendan Fraser ( Encino Man, School Ties) is back in
the D isney comedy George o f the Jungle. Based on the
1960's children’s cartoon, Fraser’s character is a bum ­

out for that tree.”
The movie takes place in a rain forest in the heart o f
Africa. George is a kid who, after losing h is parents in a

George fescues the dam sel from a ferocious lion and
she falls in love with him almost instantly. Ditching her
boyfriend, Ursula takes George to the A m erica to meet
her parents. H owever, George soon returns to the ju n g le
to rescue Ape from evil poachers who are trying to cash

Either Brendan Fraser is having incredibly bad luck
picking movie scripts or he needs to shoot his agent.
For 92 G od-aw ful m inutes, director Sam W eisman
attem pts to hold the audience’s attention,with lame oneliners and bad slapstick humor. W eism an’s effort to cre­
ate a comedy that both adults and children could enjoy
— like D isney’s Aladdin — proves to he futile in this
poor excuse for a story.
Sitting in the theater, I noticed that not only was the
experience m ind-numbing for adults, but the kids in the
audience found it hard to sit through. This was m ost
a p p a re n t d u rin g th e s c e n e s w hen the lo v e in te re s t
between the two main characters was developing.
A fter all is done, I predict that movie-goers will take
to this movie like Dennis Rodman takes to the Mormon
Church.

Smash mouth
Fush Yu Mang
'ùrù f t out of 5
The music scene today consists o f three
types o f bands: the politically and socially
aware ones, the emotionally charged ones, and
the fun, party ones. Smash mouth is able to
combine all of these styles, while playing a
fairly interesting blend o f punk, ska, and
metal.
This innovative band writes about topics
ranging from mob bosses to runaway teens,
from world peace to relationship woes, to just
having fun. No subject is too difficult or too
small for the four guys from Smash mouth.
Wit and humor are used to talk'about stupid
and annoying people. “Nervous in die Alley,”
takes a more serious turn, describing the life
of a teenage girl on the streets. Their wide
range of subject matter and their strong lyrical
content makes them an interesting listen.
The music, however, tends to be a bit
repetitive. They make a big deal about how
original their sound is, but really, who isn’t
playing ska or punk these days? While they do
seem to combine punk, surf, ska better than

som e

hardly a unique
sound, E xcept

gle “W alking

which has a 60s

get
m o n o to n o u s ,
co n sisting o f
the same fast tèmpo. But that’s why they
make a good party band. They’d be fun to
hang out to arid probably mosh to as well.
Even though there is an odious Parental
Advisory sticker on the CD, apart from die
very occasional swear word, I didn’t find
much objectionable. For a band of this musi­
cal style, I’d say that’s a rare feat
Overall, the album is good if you just want
to party. Although their subject m atter is
somewhat original for their brand of music, I
don’t consider die actual music all that new.
But if you’re just looking for a good time you
might want to pick this one up.

Lauren H offm an delivers m usic w ith attitu d e
B y J ie* M orris
S i at i P ress

For 20 year-old Lauren Hoffman,
music is her outlet and identity.
“ I 'm a b it s h y ,’’ H o ffm an said.
"I’m not very good a t just chattering. I
guess you can say that I’m overtly
introspective.”
H o ffm a n , fro m V an N uys
California, is already signed w ith a
H o ff m a n
m ajo r la b e l, V irg in R e c o rd s. She
released her debut record, Megiddo, in May and recently
played in the Lilith Fair.
The title o f her CD is the name o f a mountain in Israel.
Certain religious sources say that Megiddo will be the site
o f Armageddon. Megiddo w as also Hoffman’s nickname
growing up.
“As a joke it seemed to fit,” Hoffman said. “It was the
battle between good and evil and it was just dark humor
my parents used.”
Hoffman chose the title because, “I thought it would be
weird and scary,” she said.
Bom into a musical family, Hoffman said that her father
was a songw riter and her m other was a player o f Irish
m usic. She a ttrib u te s influences to P .J. H arvey, Led
Zeppelin, Jimmy Hendrix and Sinedd O ’Connor, but she is
reluctant to classify her sound.
“I don’t like to categorize my music,” she said. “I f it
makes it easier for other people to understand, than that’s
fine. It’s very unique and eclectic.”
Performing alone is a challenge for Hoffman.
“Playing solo is cool,” Hoffman said. “I’m definitely
trying my hand at something new.”
In M egiddo she said she sings an array o f different
types of songs.
“I write about bad acid trips to one night stands
if.
you really want to know listen to my album,” Hoffman
said.
She also makes mention to specific men on her disk —
one o f which is producer/m usician Daniel Lanois, best
known for his work producing U2’s Joshua Tree.

“At a party he (Lanois) gave me his phone number,”
Hoffman said. “I don’t tbink he wanted to talk about fuck­
ing music.”
Hoffman said that with her full-time music career, her
day-to-day life has changed dramatically. She said she
likes to read mid do yoga in her spare time.
While her career seems to continue getting better, it’s
not quite where she would like it.
“Right now, I am teetering on the edge,” Hoffinan said.
“I can break and do very well or I’ll have to be working
my ass off for years. It’s a high tension moment and l am
no way comfortable.”
H offm an said that she was happy to be signed with
Virgin, but is looking for her record company to do more
in helping her career.
“Every label is different,” Hoffinan said. ”1 liked Virgin

because they left me alone, but now it’s time they step up
to the plate and put more on the line,”
Hoffman is apprehensive about record companies in
general.
’ “If you’re going to sell yourself to the devil, make some
good fucking use of it,” Hoffman said.
Moving to New York and doing a “rocker girl fitness
feature” for Y.M. is next on her calendar. M ore touring
that should bring her back to the Valley in the fall.
H offm an’s appeal to potential listeners sums up her
demeanor.
“Please give it a chance, listen,” Hoffinan said. “And if
you don’t like it, fuck you. I didn’t want you to hear it any­
way.
“Sometimes I get a bad attitude,” she added.

HELP WANTEDGENERAL

by Frances Drake

Tuesday July 22, 1997
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Acquaintances are hard to, com­
prehend at present. Don’t let a
friend's indecisiveneSs tie your
hands. Advisers could be critical
and a vague approach to career
matters could be detrimental.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Distractions can interfere with
work performance, as could a
lackadaisical attitude. Ignore a
friend’s indifference after dark.
Career priorities will take prece­
dence.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Financial matters are complicat­
ed: It's not a good time to sign
papers or seek credit. Self-con­
sciousness is possible after the
noon hour and a withdrawn
mood interferes with social har­
mony. CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Business and pleasure don’t'mix
at present. Still, try to remain
optimistic about career potential.
Shun all negative thinking, as a
family member could drain some
of your energy.
LEO (Jtily 23 to Aug. 22) Be
less suspicious o f o th e rs’
m otives. An antisocial mood
could result. Don’t blame your
troubles on others. Duty could
conflict with social life after
darit-

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept 22)
Don’t let boredom lead to an ill
advised shopping expedition.
Others are reluctant to cooperate
financially, which may be just as
well. Stay away from dubious
investments.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Relations with others are very
cordial. Travel and (Estant mat­
ters are highly beneficial,.but
m ake sure arrangem ents are
carefully planned, Go all out in
business and contact those in a
position to help.
}-r[
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

Social life is active, but be care­
ful not to keep others waiting.
You’re popular, and friends will
bring you desired benefits.
T here’s plenty of activity on
both the career and domestic
fronts.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to
Dec. 21) You can overdo the
togetherness theme. Mingle with
others to keep your relationship
vital and exciting. You’ll meet
with new work opportunities.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan.
19) Others arc prone to exagger­
ate. Make plans for travel or
school and don’t be careless with
details. Enjoy popularity at a
party. Money can come and go
quickly, so make an effort to
safeguard your assets.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.
18) Good fellowship marks the
day. Plan a special time with a
close friend and capitalize on
your creative gifts. Keep care«’
expectations within reasonable
bounds,
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)
Your dash and vigor bring admi­
ration from others. Enjoy recre­
ational pursuits. Close friends
are the source of much happi­
ness, but curb a tendency to
slack off on the job.
YOU BORN TODAY have an
unfortunate tendency to view life
through rose-colored glasses.
While you are optimistic, yoUr
naivete and trust in others often
leads to disappointment and dis­
illusionment for you: You can
easily be taken advantage of but
learn how to deal with this as
you get older. Artistic .pursuits
are most satisfying for you and
yon find a career related to this,
You have no acumen for busi­
ness and need someone else tp
help manage your affairs.
