When some of us think of Star Irek
conventions, we conjure up visions of
full-grown adults dressed in Starfleet uni
forms, and/or made up to look like vari
ous aliens, standing around rattling off
Star Trek facts
The stereotype holds some truth, yet
mud) more than meets the eye goes on at
these holy gatherings
Eugene had the chance to witness the
event first hand Saturday, May 29, when
a convention beamed to the Eugene
Hilton with actor John de Lancia, a.k.a. Q.
from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Sunday. May 30. it moved on to Port
land to the Benson Hotel where yours
truly was on hand to observe.

RECORDS
Rocket from the Crypt is a
l^reat name for a band. There's a
lot of movement in the name;
the music is probably pretty
active.
Unfortunately, I didn't have
time to listen to the record, but
judging from the cover art and
the photo of the band, it looks
like the type of alburn you'd
hear on campus radio, KVVVA
(HH l I'M). Speaking of campus
radio, it's time to expose the
new station's sinister manipula
tion of the airwaves.
Students have waited three
years for this station to begin
broadcasting, and what do stu
dents gut for their patience? I’ll
tell you what; They got a plot to
censor and devalue a song I
happen to know is easily one of
the top-10 requested songs at
the station
What could KVVVA have
against this song?
Why does the station refuse
to heed the w ishes of its listen
ers?
Is payola involved? Where's
Alan Freed?
The song of which I write, of
course, is "Peanut Butter" bv
the Marathons Although, there ,
Fr*Jav.
has boon a ground-swell of (.um
pus support for this song. the
station refuses to honor
requests. Just try and request it
(346-0645). You'll get the same
ol" "we-don't-have-thot-song"
line the I)Js have been using
since they first played "Peanut
Butter" ut 10:30 pin.. Thursday.
May 27. Yeah, sure they don't
have it.
J can only reiterate what the
Marathons sing; "All my
friends tell me they dig it the
most/burly in the morning
when they spread it on toast/J
like peanut butter, creamy
peanut butter, chunky peanut
butter, too."
But for now. people will huve
to endure the musical stylings
of bands like Rocket from the
Crypt. At It;. ' >•' an appreci
