Byrd rebukes Clint over Lewinsky scan

By Jennifer Bundy, Associated Press CHARLESTON, W.Va.

-- Congress should be delib­erate and not rush to judge President· Clinton, even though he has created a "sorrowful spectacle," Sen. Robert C. Byrd says.

In a Senate speech Wednesday, Byrd said the Senate should wait for the House of Representatives to consider Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr's report on impeachable offenses before judging Clinton.

"There is a constitution-

al process in place. We should all let it work," Byrd said. "The events of recent months at least should have taught us the essential importance of restraint. "

"The nation will look to us for leadership," he said.

The public will be quick to criticize Congress if Clinton is "driven from office for what they may perceive to be political rea­s.ons," Byrd said in his first public remarks about Clinton's relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.

"I urge everyone in this town to calm down for a lit­tle while and contemplate with seriousness the impact that our actions may have on the well-being of the nation and the paralysis which we may be spawning if we con­tinue to be mesmerized with each new rumor, and each new titillating whisper, " Byrd said.

Byrd, West Virginia's senior Democrat in Congress, criticized the rela­tionship and Clinton's nationally televised apology.

"What a sorrowful spec-

tacle!" he said. Clinton cannot claim a

right of privacy for an affair that occurred in the Oval Office and not in the presi­dent's living quarters, Byrd said.

"The Oval Office of the White House is not a private office; it is where the busi­ness of the nation is con­ducted daily," he said.

Clinton spoke to 1be natioo Aug. 17, hours after be tali­fled before a federal gnmdjlay investigating the matter.

Starr Wars - Clinton's autobiography

Blue Suede Stew The one year anniversary of Mother Teresa's death was

September fifth. No large vigils or special news broadcasts were made. It seemed to pass by like any other day. This woman, whose works for the good of humanity are compa­rable to Jesus Christ and Ghandi only, was not even remem­bered by most a mere year after her passing.

Are we a culture that cares more about its pop idols than this woman who championed mercy, love and affec­tion for the poorest of the poor and the sickest of our pop­ulations? Elvis' birthday and death anniversary are met every year with nighttime vigils and special marches through Graceland and other major cities; Princess Di's death anniversary was all the rage this year among the fashion elite and news people alike. Yet, Mother Teresa's death anniversary passed by like so many Saturdays.

This editorial is not meant to bum you out, or make you feel shallow and apathetic, but there is a need to call atten­tion to what our culture is about and the fact that the things we value as important really aren't.

Mother Teresa melded the world's elite with the down­trodden, anonymous and undesirable. She was quite possi­bly the greatest woman that ever lived, yet Elton John wrote no song about her. What does a person have to do in our society to deserve notoriety? We know more about the life of the latest serial killer than we do about society's most humble and caring human being.

Maybe this will -~~-... mean something to some of you, maybe won't, but hopefully next September fifth you'll bow your head and think of this small woman who died at age 87 seeing value and honor in societie's cast-offs, the poor, the sick and the unwanted.

Wreck-less pursui By Chris Hopkins, Staff Columnist Have you ever thought that

you're the best driver on the road and everyone else should just go back to rlriver's educa­tion and leave you sane, safe drivers be?

I have. More than once. And I tell you I have to wonder how some of these goofballs ever got a state license.

We all have some idea of left side and right side and that we should stay on either or while on the road so as to avoid those nasty little collisions with other moving or in some cases non-moving vehicles.

I personally have never been in an auto accident other than when I ran down a dear, darling four-legged creature that looked like a bambi wannabe and still to this day I say it was his fault for playing follow the leader with the one I missed.

to see my brother. I was on 1-40 east heading through some construction and traffic for a football game and let me tell you it was horizon-to-horizon lines of traffic.

Normally this road would be a four lane road but with the construction and detours it was only three. I was in the middle lane surrounded by a bunch of other cars and to my right (pas­senger side) there was a small car something like mine or a camry and out of nowhere this minivan blasted into to the back of this stopped car.

The car's back was busted up and bent up, while the minivans hood crumpled and bent like a triangle also bust­ing its headlights and not to mention the internal damage done to both vehicles and their drivers.

While I was not in..the wreck itself I was close enough to hear the metal crumple and see the expressions of pain on the drivers face beside me as her head whiplashed from the impact. I felt for her as I drove on by. Because of the negli-

BLADE - Creatures of the night beware

By Brent Wood, Staff Columnist Straight from the dark

pages of the comic books comes the immortal super­hero Blade. The new action packed film from NewLine Cinemas stars Wesley Snipes as the half human half vampire Blade.

Born after his pregnant mother has been bitten by a vampire, Blade is the best of both worlds. He has the strength and reflexes of the vampire but can walk freely in the world of the living. The most difficult problem he faces is a thirst for blood he fights everyday.

Blade's mission to eradi­cate the plague of vampires that prey on the unsuspect­ing humans. His partner in battle and the man searching for the vampire cure is Kris Kristoferson. A master in technology and medicine, Kristoferson designs advanced weapons to battle the scourge.

Meanwhile in the ranks

This film is filled with special effects and lightning-fast action scenes. There are numer­ous sword fighting scenes

with dazzling effects and moves. Despite having a several gory blood bath scenes and gruesome dis­figured creature, Blade is a very intense movie.

Music and .electrical impersonations highl comedian's visit

By Brent Wood, Staff Columnist Tuesday evening, musi-

cal-comedian Mark -Anzalone performed for the students of GSC in the Fine Arts Auditorium.

The New York born comedian brought his unique blend of musical knowledge and humorous takes on life.

Anzalone began with no­holds-barred renditions of yesterday and today's most popular music, ranging from the BackStreet Boys and Spice Girls, to The Who and Led Zeppelin.

He opened with a very funny bit involving electrical tape. By sticking small pieces of electrical tape about his face he was able to mimic many modem rockers along with some obscure sixties bands.

Next in the show were impersonations of how Johnny Cash would sound in different countries. Such as Johnny Peso in Mexico, John Yen in China, and Johnny Monet in France.
