By Jon Londo Iron Maiden, one of Eng- metal bands are unintelligent, uncreative, no-talents that just try to play as loud and.-as fast as they can with no. other objectives in mind, lron Maiden has always been extremely creative and unique, - drawing their inspiration main- a ly from horror novels, Greek myths and the Book of Rev- . elations as well as illustrating their themes on every. album with their mascot, Eddie, but now they have taken: a drastic turn to. preserve-their original- ity. Eddie has been retired on “Powerslave” in favor of the Egyptian god of death, Maiden has adopted the use of special effects and spending the entire album on a concept as well as altering their trademark guitar sound somewhat to another creative avenue which is best shown on the Opening of . ig evident on what can be refer- red to as the two best tracks on the album; “Powerslave” and their adaptation of Sam- uel Coleridge’s ‘Rime Of The Ancient Mariner’ which util- izes some lines from the actual poem asa part of the lyrics. The title track is musically dif- ferent from Iron Maiden’s usual style and helps explain the concept of “Powerslave” which is that every empire and dictator becomes a slave of their own power and falls to ruin.: : : No matter how dismal Iron Maiden’s material seems to be, they still show they have-a sense of humor by having an exceptionally long list of credits in the special thanks department (which still don't © know where he is’) and’ end- ing it by saying “Buy usapint . - and you too will be on here — next year!” “Powerslave” is Byer iron Maiden‘s best Lp: and is def- inately worth. the time and money!” _ Alpena Volunteer Center Offers Internship By Tracy Urban One of the programs offered through the Alpena Volunteer Center is.

Journey back with a stroll to the Avenue of Shops, the Toga Tango At Dorm By Mike Boucard Last Saturday night; the members of Wilson Dormitory and students of ACC stepped back in time and attended a Roman Toga Dance. The cafeteria was perfectly adorned in ancient Rome de- cor, which was accomplished by many hours: of work by a few devoted members of. the dorm. By 8:30 pm, the cafe- teria was being filled by would be Romans. The music. was playing and the sheets were flying. Snacks and punch were: provided by RHA (Resident Hall Association), and: the Ragin’ Cagun -and the Crazy Canuck supplied the lights and music. By 10:00 pm, the joint was jumping. The cafeteria was packed with “Romans”. The punch was flowing and snacks were running low. This fun and frolic kept up until: late into the night and early morn: ing. Sandals were wearing down and sheets were getting tired, so the Roman Empire By Keith Webb “Ghostbusters”, produced by Ivan Reitman is far from being a great film. It’s not a movie that will -win many new fans with Dan Ackroyd and Bill Murray. ‘Bill Murray was the typical Bill Murray but neither Murray nor Ackroyd’ had a real character devel- opment. Segourney Weaver, the only ~ survivor in Alien, could not survive. the ' poorly ‘written script’ despite her super acting abilities. Viewal effects artist, lvan Ed- lund, attempting to save the show made the movie even: more ridiculous although ef- forts were made. The movie is relaxing with a s-l-o-w plot development. The dialogue, easy, with hardly any vulgar language. | would. ~ not recommend it for anyone under 13 because of adult humor and it’s definitely a drag for plot-seekers. — credit and the cost is the same as the college’s regular tuition ee.
