on how to beat the Sing Song
blues.

club acts.
Students said the time commit-
ment can lead to problems with
grades and health.
"If you don't get enough sleep
you tend to get sick; then when
you don't have practice all you
want to do is sleep" said Jennifer
McDonald senior youth and fami-
ly ministry major from Carlsbad

eighth Sing Song act this year.
This veteran Sing Song per-
former handles the time crunch by

The staff painted white on the
inside walls of the store to give the
illusion of a larger store and then
used a hint of purple and red.
The store not only made
changes with interior colors and
merchandise placement it made
changes in the computer depart-
ment by getting rid of thousands of
dollars worth of software said
Williams.
Mike Barrow senior finance

the computer department.

International students bring new
perspectives on impeachment
Michelle Charles
Scene Edfor
A pressing concern for many
Americans right now as the Sen-
ate impeachment (rial draws near
an end is whether or not Presi-
dent' Clinton should be put out of
office.
But for international students
at ACU the trial brings up many
issues such as Integrity loyalty
and the morality of the American
society.
Many students expressed their
opinions on the impeachment
trial including Alexander A.K.
Tosu freshman management
major from Adutor Ghana. He
said he thinks the impeachment
trial is plain politics.
"Clinton did wrong but the
Republican party is using it for
their own gain" Tosu said. "They
should put themselves in Clinton
shoes."
Tosu said he thinks Clinton is
doing a good job for the country
and that his personal life need not
be tied in with his career.
"Back home one has to have
respect for those in authority"
Tosu said.
Tosu said he has learned many
lessons from the situation.
"Whenever you are in a posi-
tion of authority people look up

changes in the store" Barrow said.
"I think it is a direct reflection of
what a superior job management
has done."
Barrow assists customers from
the new customer service desk
just inside the front door of the
store.
The desk was built in order for
students to have more access to
customer service personnel.
Williams said the goal was to
heighten Customer service and
improve visual presentation.
New ideas for next year are not
yet out in the open for discussion
"We are thinking about some
Tun and innovative things for next
year that we won't discuss right
now but it will be really exciting"
Williams said.

"Sure hex going to get off but
his reputation will follow him"
she said. "He will always be
remembered as the second presi-
dent to be impeached. Thais a sad '
legacy to leave."
Despite a damaged legacy Clin-
ton and hfs supporters may have
gotten one thing that they wanted
out of this situation McCall said.
"This whole scandal was drawn
out over so many months that the
American people got desensitized
to it" he said. "I follow the trial
to you" Tosu said. "It is Impot-
tant for you to make your mark so
people would know you by the
good you do."
He added "Clinton situation

Grace Lai senior social work
major from Hong Kong said
Americans seems to be caught up
in scandal. She said the whole sit-
uation Is not right.
"As an Asian I feel ashamed
because he is a leader" Lai said.
"A lot of people still support
Clinton and I think this reflects
the moral standards of America."
Lai said Clinton does not seem
to feel ashamed of what he has
done. She thinks Its a shame Tor
the country and that Clinton
should resign.

to prc-box books for students and
have them ready with names on
litem in the fall" he said.
The stored revenue goes directly
toward the students Williams said.
In the past the store has given
away books and merchandise to
benefit students. This semester the
store will also sponsor the ACU
television show PluggoMn.
"We are here for the students
faculty and staff and we want to do
more things to benefit them"
Williams said. "People come to
ACU because they want to and
because of the 'C In ACU. We
wanted to have some items with
ACU represented on them for
those people.
"I hope the students faculty
staff and alumni feel good abowt
the things we are doing cftd the
'things we are going to do.

and even I get bored with it."
Many other students may share
that sentiment and Campos said
she regrets that some students fall
to keep up with the trial. It does
have an impact on every citizen
she said.
"If Congress were to re-establish
the draft a lot of students would
care" Campos said. "I know a lot
of us are tired of hearing about it
but if .more students were involved
we could have more of an influ-
ence. Our basic rights and liberties
are decided by these people."
Julicon Raeburn freshman
management major from Trinclty
Trinidad said "I don't really fol-
low the impeachment trial
because I think it is a waste of
time and it doesn't really concent
me.
"If Clinton is doing his job
properly he shouldn't have to
resign."
Jose Machln freshman Bible
major from Montevideo Uruguay
said "I. think it Is funny because
in my country we don't mess with
the presidents life. We never had
problems like this in my country."
Machln said he thinks Clinton
has been a good president and has
done good things for the country.
He said he also learned from this
situation.
Machln said "You always have
to be very careful about your per-
sonal life when you are in a lead-
ing position."
