The band has avoided touring them selves to death, opting to open for big acts like Morrissey, the Violent Femmes, New Order, the B-52s and Sting, bands which offer much larger audiences. So far, Dills said, the tour has been successful, although the band mem bers are still getting used to the long hours. He said the crowds the band has encountered so far have responded enthusiastically. “They’re definitely different than our home crowd,” he said. “But it hasn’t been hard. They’re going out to these clubs to hear something differ ent.” The Return will open the show, which starts around 10 p.m. Admis sion is $3. $24,000 Graduate Fellowship* Cor college seniors sad graduates interested is becoming ntislsiy Fellowships pay tuition, fees, books, rooas, sad board.

Although his novels were often scary, they were also almost always somewhat long winded. His short stories, however, were short, powerful, and very scary. Ah, those were the days. King’s latest book “Nightmares and Dreamscapes,” his third col • lection of short stories, is very dis appointing. It seems like King is scraping the bottom of a once very full well, but is now left with noth ing but scraps and chunks of mud. The book begins with “Dolan’s Cadillac,” a story about a man whose wife is killed by a mobster and how he gets his revenge by burying the mobster, car and all, in th£Ncvada desert. There is nothing exciting or scary about this story at all. The reader knows what’s going to happen beforp it happens, so there are no surprises. For the first half of the book, most of the stories follow this pat tern. With the possible exception of“Suffer the Little Children,” the stories in the first half of the book vary from boring to just plain bad. King manages to redeem him self, somewhat, in the last half of the book. “Home Delivery,” a take off on the George Romeib’s“Night of the Living Dead” is a good solid story. It is followed by “Rainy Sea son,” a nice little tale of terror about maneating toads that drop from the sky one night every seven years. “Crouch End” and “The Ten O’Clock People” are the two best stories in the book. “Crouch End” takes the Lovercraft Cthulhu Mythos to a new level of terror. A . woman and her husband arrive in Crouch End, a suburb of London, and find themselves in another di mension, surrounded by evil chil dren and a beast that lives under ground. “The Ten O’Clock People” takes on one of King’s favorite subjects: smokers. The world is being taken overby ugly fly-like aliens, and the only people who can see them are people who used to smoke a lot, but now don’t smoke as much. It’s a good story, and although it isn’t really scary, it is very entertaining. “The Fifth Quarter” is an obvi ous homage to Ray Bradbury. Four children, whose last name is Bradbury, manage to get rid of their evil step-father when their house turns into a rocket and blasts into space. The last story of the book, “Head Down ” isn’t really a story, but a non-fiction piece that originally ran in “The New Yorker.” Janies Mehsling/DN It tells the story of Owen Kins, Stephen King’s son, and his team mates on the Bangor West baseball team, as they make their run for the state championship. This is the best writing in the book and captures the essence of what it is like to play in Little League. I won’t reveal the ending,but it is well worth reading. The first half of King’s book borders on pathetic and the last half borders on excellence. With a cov er price of almost $30,1 woold only recommend this book to die-hard King fans, many of whom probably already own it.
