ONE of my favorite CDs was put out in 1993 by a hard rock band from Wisconsin. A line from one particular song's chorus comes to mind whenever the latest cause du jour pops into the headlines: "You can't change the world."

SEVERAL months ago, members of the University administration made a veiled threat to students, suggesting that the future of Fall Break was in danger if students kept using the reading holiday as a time for vacation. Students were reminded that the name was changed from Fall Break to Reading Holiday for a reason.

AWEEK ago I received a forwarded e-mail from a friend of mine at James Madison University. The message was somewhat of a response to the second school shooting in San Diego in as many weeks. The body of the message listed an abundance of reasons why children "kill strangers, classmates or even themselves."

SOMEWHERE in the past 200-odd years, the words "free press" got mangled. Like parallel lines going off into the distance, "freedom of the press" and "free speech" converged, even when the two aren't all that similar.

I HADN'T planned to write about the honor referenda this week. Having mentioned the Committee repeatedly throughout the last two weeks, I figured it was time to give it a rest. When I'm fired up, however, I like to fire back.

I WANT TO thank the Board of Visitors. After the story last week about how the Board may have suggested some of the changes in the honor system that we will be voting on this spring, my initial reaction was that of smug satisfaction.

The middle of June 1997, sitting under the bright lights of a football stadium in southeastern Virginia. That's where it all started.

The realm of electronic music is simply a misunderstood genre. Almost every time I attempt to indoctrinate supposed "dance" music fans about the artists they should take a good look at, they shrink back into the narrow world of Top 40 "dance" hits. I constantly am tempted to take my CDs home and give up. Just because The Backstreet Boys have sold 17 million-odd albums doesn't mean they're the best at getting people off their butts.

From their habits, you'd think that rock radio stations are desperate to combat the rap influx into popular music. In the late '80s, a rock band could sing "Row, Row Your Boat" and get on the Top 40. Lately, the album-oriented stations will throw anything on the airwaves, as long as the single brings in requests.

The heading of Arts and Entertainment can be applied to a large number of activities at the University, but the excitement of having a close to limitless source of subjects is tempered by one small fact. Hardly anyone ever goes to the events.

Nine Inch Nail's 1994 follow-up to "Broken," "The Downward Spiral" punctuated the belief by going triple platinum. Throw in Marilyn Manson's success two years later, and the industrial movement was rolling.
