DIVERSITY: Readership a reality
—,S
You pick up a copy of the paper
to tee What's going on. Often you
fight through the late night mis¬
takes an entirely student run paper
is going to make to get to the news
from a student perspective.
That you read the paper annoys
Reality.
It upsets them to the point that
they have recenUy resorted to send -
ing out inaccurate information
which in many cases contains out¬
right lies left not corrected to help
achieve their end goal, our elimina¬
tion.
Gino Borges, a Reality senator,
recently sent a letter to president
Welty, Dean of Student Affairs
I Corcoran and others in which he
claims that The Collegian only dis¬
tributes 800 of the 3,000 papers it
prints.
In r«j/i'/y\The Collegian prints
3,500 copies and distributes all ex¬
cept wose kept for record or for
advertisers, and as a matter of-
policy/, any papers left from the
previous day are taken to the rccy-*
cling center. The number of papers
left at news racks varies from day
to day, but is generally in the neigh¬
borhood of 150-200, not an un¬
usual amount in the newspaper
After Borges was contacted by
The Collegian, he agreed to send
memos to all of the individuals he
had contacted acknowledging his
blatant error. However, this inac¬
curacy continues with Borges' ap¬
parent approval, shown through his
silence at meetings where this ac¬
knowledged lie is perpetuated.
When contacted, Borges was
also invited to ride along during
distribution, to confirm our deliv¬
ery schedule as well as to see for
i himself that the papers are being
*^received by^ students. As of this
t time, neither he nor Reality leader
Pete Nicholson, also invited on sev¬
eral occasions, have responded, to
the offer; and yet the lie continues.
It seems as though the senators
of the Reality party are more con¬
cerned with promulgating inaccu¬
racies than stating truths.
As The Collegian attempts to
be an unbiased news source, shown
by its willingness to print letters
critical of itself, it becomes very
difficult to allow such lies to con¬
tinue without being addressed.
The Collegian has no political
ties. However, an organization,
when under attack, must defend
itself, and when being attacked by
the Reality party, the.truth is our
strongest defense.      .
In the end it will be you the
students who choose whether a
daily campus paper is worth that
$1.50 per semester or if we really
need a lecture series or a campus
children's center. We at The Col¬
legian have nothing,to hide. We
are a group of some 20-30 people
from different backgrounds trying
to bring diversity to the school
through our product, the newspa¬
per.
SCORPIONS: Long-time band puts out 13th album
America went nuts for the band after
the huge hit "Rock You Like A
Hurricane." Meine had since beaten
a vocal chord disease and powered
the band with one of rock's most
recognizable voices. *
Scorpions became regulars at the
big rock festivals and were one of the
first western bands to play the Soviet
Union, where they were warmly wel¬
comed by a younger generation of
Russians who didn't bear the scars of
World WarIL
But a divided Germany and the
Berlin Wall was still an ugly reminder
of the East-West conflict Scorpions
were there in 1990 when the wall came
tumbling down in front of 350,000 at
Chedqr»mtCharlieonPotsdamerPlatz
to celebrate the reunification of
Germany' s segregated first city.
Bom of the end of communist op¬
pression and cfce thawing of political
adversity in Europe was "Wind Of
Change," a worldwide smash recorded
in Russian, Spanish and English that
carried the torch of glasnost through
mainstreari rock music. That hitof the
l990releaseCraj>'VVorWeamed Scor¬
pions an invitation to the Kremlin in
Moscow to meet with Soviet leader
Mikhail Gorbachev.

Bochholz left the band to pursue
his business interests in the rock
industry and was replaced by Ralph
Rieckermann, who adds a new twist
to Scorpions' distinctive sound with
five-string bass on Face The Heal
Scorpions are truly one of rock's
greats, destined for the Rock 'n Roll
Hall of Fame.
