Steve Wariner was discovered
at the age of 17 by Dottie West
who hired him to play bass and
sing backup in her band. Wariner
went on to play in other bands,
but eventualy signed with RCA
as a solo artist.
His first album was released in
1980 which yeilded his First
number one single 'All Roads
Lead To You.'
After moving to MCA,
Wariner's success grew steadily,
producing seven more number
one singles. These songs were
'Some Fools Never Learn,' 'You
Can Dream of Me,' 'Life's
Highway,', 'Small Town Girl,'
'The Weekend,' 'Life's
Highway' and 'I Should Be With
You.'
MCA says Wariner has
gradually developed with each
album during the 1980's, and
yith the release of his new album
I Got Dreams has emerged into
a complete artist.
"He stands among the few
country performers whose
writing, musicianship, perfor-
mance and production talents are
fully developed,"MCA pro-
moters said.
Wariner's newest single is
'When I Could Come Home to
You.'
Brooks, a 26 year old
Oklahoman, will be opening for
Wariner.
Brooks is fairly new on the
country music scene. His debut
album Garth Brooks was releas-
ed in 1989. The LP's initial
single, 'Much Too Young (To
Feel This Damned Old), 'a rodeo
song with broader implications,
became very popular.
His love song 'If Tomorrow
Never Comes' also became a big
hit. Brooks co-wrote both of
these songs with Randy Taylor
and Kent Blazy.
Brooks career didn't always
appear so promising. His first
trip to Nashville in 1985 lasted
twenty-three hours before he was
on the road back to Oklahoma.
After completing his college
education at Oklahoma State
University, Brooks returned to
Nashville in 1987 with a regional
band called Sante Fe. But once
again reality struck, and the band
disintegrated.
Brooks began singing on
songwriter demos and his break
came when Capitol Records ex-
ecutives heard him perform at a
Nashville Entertainment Associa-
tion showcase.
After singning a recording
contract, Brooks teamed up with
producer Allen Reynolds, who is
best known for his work with
Crystal Gayle.
This time Brooks was in
Nashville to stay.
"I've always felt that success
is how you deal with failure,"
Brooks said.
Capitol ^r&cords,.- say Jfeat if;
Brooks handles his success like
he dealt with failure, that he
should be a mainstay of country
music playlists for many years to
come.

are scheduled for February 6 and

Parkey announced the Class
Favorite and Mr. and Miss TSU
nominations to be held January
30 and 31, and elections to be
held February 6 and 7. The elec-
tion will be held over a two day
period as a result of response to
last semester's referendum vote,
he said.
"We had over 1000 students
vote which beats the national
average of 10 percent by quite a
bit," he said.
Parkey also announced the
dates for elections for SGA of-
ficers. The elections will be held
on April 3 and 4 with run-offs to
be held April 10 and 11 if
necessary.
Deadline to file for candidacy
is March 20.

*Parkey discussed the disban-
ding of the Chancellor Student

tion about student concerns with
A&M policy.

problems and not the problems
of the system."
Some schools, Jergins said,
would complain before CSAB
' before they would complain to
their own university president.
"From what I gather," Jergins
said, "the organization [CSAB]
was established when we had
four sister schools. We've add-
ed three since that time. . .," he
1 said.
Although CSAB did dissolve
into individual complaint ses-
sions for many attending schools,
Jergins said, CSAB was always
a select group of students who
were already too busy with their
affairs. "... who went back to
their schools and did nothing,"
he said.
"If they had conducted
themselves correctly, went
through appropriate channels,
■ and realized that they were ad-
visory — that 'advisory' was part
of their name — and stayed
within their limits, it might have
worked out," Jergins said.
"I support the Chancellor,"
said Jergins. "The purpose of
CSAB was lost by its delegates."
