Spring Break not too far off to make plans
By Mark Bestul
Staff Reporter
It’s coming. It’s almost here. Justa
couple of months until every student’s
favorite week of school - Spring Break.
February may seem pretty early to
be talking about Spring Break, espe
cially since school has just started up
again, but it’s probably crossed eve
rybody’s mind more than a few times
by now.
Where to go is quite a decision -
South Padre Island, Texas, Daytona
Beach, Fla., or maybe skiing some
where in Colorado.
Lincoln Tour & Travel Manager
Velma Lassen said that South Padre
Island and Colorado are where many
students have gone in the past.
Students this year seem to be inter
ested in Florida and Mexico trips,
according to Lassen, though many
are planning to go to Colorado as
well.
Airline tickets through Lincoln Tour
& Travel cost about $300 round trip
to Florida. If students don’t mind
driving to Kansas City, Mo., the plane
tickets will be less expensive flying
from there.
Lassen said most students stay with
big groups of friends at budget hotels
to combat expenses.
If Colorado’s your thing, Lassen
said, trips are relatively cheap, since
University of Nebraska-Lincoin stu
dents have the luxury of driving there.
Through some agencies, like
Contact Travel, students can get ho
tcl/ski lift deals to popular ski resorts
like Steamboat, so a Colorado trip
might be one to consider.
The UNL Office of Campus Rec
reation offers some trips for Spring
Break as well. Three are offered this
year - backpacking in the Grand
Canyon (which is filled), canoeing in
the Rio Grande along the Texas/Mexico
border, and back-country ski touring
at Big Horn Mountain in Wyoming.
The cost of these trips range from
$220 to about $250.
Jim Fullerton, the coordinator of
the Outdoor Recreation Program, has
been on many of these Spring Break
expeditions.
Fullerton said he has been back
packing in the Grand Canyon 12 times,
and has had a great time every trip.
Being in the canyon, not just look
ing at it, allows him to “feel the
immensity of the world and get close
and appreciate that part of the world,”
he said.
“People like to go someplace warm
for vacation when it is cold where
they live,” Fullerton said. “In the
Grand Canyon, you can wear T-shirts
and shorts.”
The campus recreation expeditions
take about 12 students and three staff
members. Fullerton recommends any
of these trips.

Manager McLaren thought Sex ristois
would lead him to ‘cash through chaos9

“The Wicked Ways of Malcolm
McLaren”
Harper & Row
Malcolm McLaren is a legend.
He is best known as the man be
hind the Sex Pistols and the absolute
decadence that comes with that posi
tion.
McLaren’s antics and adventures
are documented in the new, unauthor
ized biography, “The Wicked Ways
of Malcolm McLaren,” by Craig
Bromberg.
“The Wicked Ways of Malcolm
McLaren’’ sequentially works through
McLaren’s life, from his childhood to
occasional bouts with art school in
the late ’60s to the Sex Pistols to his

solo career as a recording artist.
During McLaren’s art school days,
he began to recognize a strong, anti
establishment mindset bent toward
revolution. Combined with his knowl
edge of pop culture, McLaren began
to develop a desire to assault the
music business.
Bromberg shows how McLarcn’s
dream was recognized via the Sex
HoqVEt[EW
Pistols -- total shrewdness and the
idea of “cash through chaos.”
These unorthouox managerial
methods catapulted the Sex Pistols to
the front of the music charts and the
tabloids.
But McLarcn’s reputation suffered
within the industry, as Bromberg shows
through extensive interviews with
McLarcn’s former colleagues.
Approximately a third of the book
details the Sex Pistols. Naturally, the
outrageous adventures chronicled here
pul Led Zeppelin’s reputation to shame.
Bromberg thoroughly details the
Pistols’ appearance on the British
“Today” show hosted by Bill Grundy.
This typified McLarcn’s goal of “cash
through chaos.” Within minutes,
Grundy’s interview deteriorated to
the state of anarchy. F-words were
thrown left and right, and considering
that the program was broadcast dur
ing the dinner hour, the British view
ing audience went nuts.
Ultimately, McLarcn’s methods
would wind up backfiring on him.
The Sex Pistols broke up, and McLaren
was forced to go back to the pop
culture drawing board.
Bromberg accurately shows the
stress McLaren experienced after the
Sex Pistols debacle. How could any
one follow an act like the Sex Pistols?
Numerous film projects would creep
forward, but none would get off the
ground. Finally, McLaren found
opportunity with Adam’s Ants, steal
ing them from Adam and creating the
band Bow-Wow-Wow.
But again, this project ended in a
failure for McLaren when the band
got sick of his antics.
Throughout “The Wicked Ways
of Malcolm McLaren,’’ Bromberg
seems to portray McLaren as a tragic
hero, yielding great, creative successes
only to be hampered by his absolute
wickedness and desire for anarchy.
Reading this book, you begin to
find part of the reason the music in
dustry lacks fire. The fear instilled in
record executives after seeing the
rampage of a man like McLaren is
exactly what gives us the Richard
Marxes and Paula Abduls.
