Appalachian State, this semes ter, is one of the few schools that does. Since August, ASU has been the temporary home of Wlodzimierz Cimoszewicz, prime minister of Poland from 1996 1997. In December, Cimoszewicz re turns to Poland to assume his seat in the Polish Congress (Sejm), a position he has been on extended leave from since he got to Appala­ chian. So just what is one of Eastern Europe's most respected leaders, a person who has dined with hun dreds of monarchs, presidents, prime ministers, Nobel Prize win ners and other important people by his estimate and helped engi neer his country's acceptance into NATO doing hanging around Boone like a sixth year senior? "After my former job in which I had to work 15,16 or 17 hours a day... this is like a holiday to me," said Cimoszewicz. Cimoszewicz first heard about ASU while he was prime minister.

A lot of his time is spent en­ joying that quiet and the peace that comes with living in a small Southern town like Boone. Part of the reason he enjoys country-life so much is that Cimoszewicz was bom and raised in Warsaw, the capital of Poland and a city of more than two mil­ lion. He went to college at War­ saw University and got his law degree, and then went on to Co­ lumbia University in New York City as Fulbright scholar ir\ 1980-1981 to get his doctorate. After spend­ ing more than two decades in those two huge metropolises, Cimoszewicz was ready for life outside the city. "I was born in Warsaw, but even today... I prefer to be on my farm."

The construction began in Eggers Residence Hall on Nov. 13. The staff began by establishing a main panel, called a hub closet. The hub closet is similar to tele phone wiring, in that it is where the wiring base is held. After that, the staff drilled holes in the floor and ceiling of lobbies on all floors, said Director of Housing Brad Reid.

"I'm very concerned about placing water and sewer up on Howard's Knob, because it will be a disaster," Ayers said. "If you want to see how water and sewer lines can develop a mountain, then all you need to do is look at Hound Ears," Ayers said. With furthering development on Howard's Knob, the "steep slopes will only increase existing problems of excessive run off from the mountain," said Gray. The development affects more than just environmental issues. "We have a classic case here, and environmental justice is at stake. A predominantly minority community is being threatened by environmental degradation by a big money project," Ayers said. The environmental groups are also strongly against the new de velopment because the proposed apartments will exploit the Junaluska neighborhood and cre­ ate massive traffic problems for the residents of the historic and eth­ nically diverse community. "Our chapter feels that this development raises issues of racial, social and environmental justice, and that the unanimity of strong feeling expressed at the public hearing against the extension of water and sewer indicates that the community of the residents of Boone understand it very well," Gray said. Lee Echols, a member of SAVE, feels that it is "totally unfair for the Junaluska residencies to have their hard-earned tax dollars be spent on public services that will foul their own community."

After testing their fitness, the tfeams visited a land navigation sta­ tion, a first aid station, and a rope bridge station, said Cox. At the land navigation station, JROTC members were given a starting point and were asked to locate specified points using a compass and pace counts, accord­ ing to Cox. At the rope bridge station, teams worked together to con struct a rope bridge and cross a water simulated obstacle. According to Cox, teamwork was essential to success in this event, because team members were judged on accuracy and the time it took to cross the bridge. Armies on the battle field are sure to encounter injuries. At the first aid station, the high school students did everything from prac­ ticing shock treatment to tying a tourniquet, said Capt. Lynn Lubiack. After teams had visited all three stations, they participated in a 5K march on a path in a wooded area behind State Farm field, said Cox. According to Cox, the 5K course was tough, and students had to stay together while march­ ing in unison. During all the events, cadres, college ROTC faculty members, from the University ofNorth Caro­ lina-Charlotte, Wake Forest, North Carolina A&T and Appalachian State University judged the JROTC members, said Cox. After the 5K march, final scores were tabulated and awards were given to the best teams and outstanding individuals, he said. Lee County High School fin­ ished first, East Rowan High School finished second, and Free­ dom High School finished third. Twenty-five teams represent­ ing 15 high schools competing in the Raider Challenge. "It's a real big deal for the high schools. They like to come up here and compete against each other," said Cox. The Raider Challenge helps build the JROTC teams and gives them an opportunity to compete against other high schools, said Lubiack. The JROTC program is de­ signed to encourage citizenship and to develop leadership skills, said Cox. Many JROTC clubs are very involved in their communities, he said "JROTC is really not de­ signed to put people in the Army," said Cox. On the contrary though, col­ lege ROTC is for people that either have an interest in joining the mili tary or know they want to enter, said Cox. Colleges and universities vol­ unteer to host the Raider Chal­ lenge. According to Lubiack, ASU has been chosen the last five years because of the turnout and success of the Raider Challenge at ASU. »e w .pHATRAZ | 9 / , Poland from Alpha Phi would like to thank the following. - - - Bell Atlantic * The Wharehouse * Phil's Citgo * AAA Auto * Waverly Mills, Inc. * Pat Weaver * Ming Land ' Dr. Bonnie Gordan * Dr. Karl Mamola * Roachel Laney * Melissa Barth * Gene Miller * Carter HammettMcGarry * Steve Dyche * Donald Saunders * Carolyn Kanoy * April Jones * Jeffs Butts * Bobby Sharp * Barbara P.

"I am very fortunate, because in my constituency, I have very strong support among the people. They know me very well. They know what I think ... and what 1 have done for that region." As for how he gets along with American students here at ASU, who are part of a school system much different than the one Pol­ ish students attend, Cimoszewicz commented, "People are the same; the same age, the same clothes, the same habits, the same behavior. I don't see any real differences." Although, he does note that it was not always that way in Poland. Under communist rule, Cimoszewicz said that students didn't have to work hard in school jecause they knew the govern­ ment would take care of them. "Everybody knew that after completing their studies (they) would get a job... Today it is dif­ ferent. They treat studies differ­ ently. They demand to get more knowledge and more informa­ tion," he said. Cimoszewicz also has an inter­ esting take on the scandal involv­ ing President Clinton, whom he nici wiiii, anu iiiiu a vcly interest­ ing conversation with for over three hours in 1996. "From a political standpoint, he behaved very stupidly," said Cimoszewicz, but added that "the political games and motives have gone too far," regarding the im­ peachment proceedings. "(The scandal) hurts the im­ age of the United States... I don't think it would be taken seriously in any other country," he said. Cimoszewicz thinks that an impeachment would be much more prudent in a country such as Russia, where he says polls show that 70 percent of the citizens want President Boris Yeltsin to give up his power.

Bus is a bust To the Editor: Everyday the ApoalCART carries the lives of hundreds of students and Boone citizens within its steel embrace. Why then are there so many prob­ lems that need to be fixed in the AppalCART sys­ tem? Don't students have a right to safe and timely transportation? Changes need to be made. The AppalCART company does its best to find qualified drivers, but many of the current drivers are reckless. They repeatedly disregard the fact that they are responsible for the safety and lives of other people's loved ones. As a student here at Appalachian State Uni­ versity, I have ridden the AppalCART. Many times, the driver started before I and other passengers were seated. People were thrown around like apples in a barrel, and they got just as bruised. Also, the drivers must think that traffic rules apply to everyone but them. Just because the bus they drive is bigger than other vehicles doesn't give them the right to drive like they own the road. Ihave been on the AppalCART when the driv­ ers have cut other cars off. It's scary to look out of the bus window and see the horrified expressions of other motorists with crystal clarity. On many days, students and other people who depend on the AppalCART are left standing on the curb long after the scheduled stops. Either the AppalCART is running behind, or the driver doesn't check the stop. There is a stop in the Winn-Dixie parking lot. The driver is supposed to pull into the parking lot to check the stop. Twice a friend of mine and I have had to chase down the bus because the driver didn't check the stop and was going to leave us. Everyday that I have ridden the AppalCART, it has been late. I have had to wait for over an hour on a few occasions before the bus ever showed up. One evening, a friend and I went to Kmart to buy presents for another friend's birthday. It was dark by the time we were done shopping. We went to catch the AppalCART ten minutes before it was supposed to be there to make sure we didn't miss it. The scheduled stop time came and went. Af­ pus life (well, let's not consider beer important). Most of us will work our butts off to compensate for the lack of cash, working many hours at our home jobs. Unfortunately, by the time we actually have the money, most of the good stuff will be gone. Not only that, the rush of last-minute shoppers (a.k.a. procrastinators) will be present to squabble over what is left. While buying gifts is a good route, giving some­ thing that came from your efforts would be great, too. Think about it; if you are involved in anything on campus, you probably have something to show for it. If you are an art major, take some photos of the work you have done or create an art piece for some­ one. If you are a DJ, record one of your broadcasts for someone. If you are athletic, make a copy of a newspaper article you were mentioned or pictured in. You could also tape one of your games for a friend or family member to watch. If you are in a club, keep some of the flyers and ads you have made or make some photos of the events that occurred in the club. It may sound a bit selfish, but 1think your friends and relatives care more about what you have been doing than what you get them. This is what part of the holiday season is~all about; relating experiences with friends and family that you do not see as much anymore. So, if you can, brave the shopping rush. How­ ever, give something of yourself as well. Share your time, your experiences, and your achievements with your friends and loved ones Love your family, love your neighbor and love your television. I, myself, have been an avid fan of the television for as long as I can remember. From Saturday morning cartoons to late night television there has never been a time when television has not been a part of my daily routine. Television is a wonderful learning tool. The news can be reported quickly and conveniently, while it is being broadcast all over the world. Edu­ cational shows such as Sesame Street and Barney can entertain children while helping them learn. What could be the possible harm of a television? The problem is simply not the television itself, but our society's abuse of it. Everyday, children watch television to such an excess that they are being turned into inactive zombies. Instead of wanting to go play outside on a nice day, many children prefer to stay inside and watch their televisions. Rather than talking to each other over a family dinner, many families prefer to watch television while they dine. The basic premise of family communication can be cut off as entire fami­ lies sit down to vegetate rather than converse with one another. Thanksgiving day is an excellent example of television disrupting ordinary family processes. It is now a tradition in most homes to gather for a family dinner with loved ones, and then lie on the couch and watch football and select other televi­ sion shows for the rest of the evening. The effects of excessive television on the im­ pressionable minds of young people can be exten­ sive. Attention spans are reduced, making it harder for children to pay attention in class, many times leading to discipline problems. The subject matter Mandy Lutz viewed by children may not be appropriate for ASU Box 05387 them, and their inability to react correctly to it can also lead to behavioral problems.

So there we were, two females, in the cold, at night, walking down the side of the road. All the way back to campus we never did see the AppalCART. Because of the chronic tardiness of the AppalCART, many students are forced to walk back to campus from town everyday. Anything could hap­ pen to a person walking down the road during the day ui iiigni. oluucuio uLjcrve a better solution. An excellent way to improve the quality of the AppalCART service is to better screen the drivers. The AppalCART company should only employ people who have a clean driving record and no history of mental illness. An easy way to remedy the lateness of the AppalCART is to allow more time between stops. Also, breaking up the larger routes into smaller ones would help the buses stay on schedule. Getting stuck at one traffic light doesn't put the bus behind schedule, but getting stuck at five or more lights does. The AppalCART company also needs to crack down on their drivers taking ten minute smoke breaks at the stop at Whitener Hall when they are already behind schedule. The AppalCART, the only mode of transportation for many students, has reckless drivers and is chroni­ cally late. Each problem taken individually could probably be tolerated, but together they add up to one big headache for students. The citizens of Boone and the students of ASU have the right to be able to get safely to their desti­ nations when they are supposed to. Changes need to be made. Television, a two-sided beast �Page 4 lJ% LETTERS Children's ideas about what behav­ ior is acceptable can be easily con­ fused by ideals exhibited on tele­ vision. Children are also being ex­ posed to sex at ages when they are not mature enough to understand the consequences of sexual activ­ ity. The ideals implanted when they are very young promote irre­ sponsible sexual behavior at older ages. Parents may teach their chil­ dren that sleeping with a lot of people is wrong, but television of­ ten teaches them otherwise. While some parents attempt to monitor the shows and amounts of time that their children watch, many children sneak around and are able to view shows that are inappropriate. The number of shows that show inappropriate material for children has also in­ creased. The popularity of the new "trash television" shows that re­ ceive such high ratings further blurs the line for what is appropri­ ate for viewers in today's society. "Trash television" shows provide mindless entertainment for many Americans who are seeking noth­ ing more. They can be a form of harm­ less recreational amusement when viewed by the appropriate audi­ ence, however; this is often not the case. Much time is wasted watching television.

Campus Life Editor They decided to crawl out of the cave instead of the easy hike out. However, before starting to crawl, they had to pick a fearless leader who would lead them out. Katie Shaber, an ASU sopho­ more from Raleigh, volunteered to be the fearless leader. Shaber got at the front of a long continuous chain of students. Shaber, along with several other ASU students, participated in a day caving trip to Roberts' Cave, just one of the many activi­ ties ASU's Outdoor Programs has to offer. Roberts' Cave is located in the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area in Jefferson National Forest. It is well known for its formations. Carbonic acid from the mixture of C02 (carbon dioxide) and water permeated the limestone there. Several students decided on crawling out of the cave with their lights off. Each person had to hold the person's feet in front of them so that everyone went the same direction. "Crawling out was my favor­ ite part of the caving trip.Ithought it was cool that they let us take the lead," Shaber said. Shaber has been to Worleys Cave in Tennessee. She said it in­ cluded more hiking and climbing around, whereas Roberts' Cave in­ volved more crawling. "I wish we would have had more time to spend in the cave. Even though Roberts was pretty small, there was a lot more to be explored," Shaber said. Crawling out of Roberts' Cave took a little longer than what the students had expected. It took sometimes going the wrong way before finding out that they were at a dead end. Yet, after intensive team work 1 and plenty of group suggestions, the students saw the light. Their faces, when exiting the cave, ex­ pressed an immense content. People once believed that caves formed mechanically by the rapid movement of water. Caves are actually formed chemically, and the process is very slow. The carbonic acid moves around 10 inches each year. Caves have three main areas in general. The treshold is the en­ trance of the cave. People may find racoons or other varmits hanging out. The twilight zone is the area where spiders may be encoun­ tered. Then you reach total dark­ ness. In the areas of total darkness, students would turn off their head lamps and tell stories. Sometimes, if they kept quiet, they could hear the bats. There were also some really unique formations whenever one looked up. The so-called "soda straws" are hollow, long tube-like struc-1 tures. They have a whitish color and hold water on the tip that , seems like it will drip on someone, at any moment. Shaber said this was her first trip with the Outdoor Programs.,' Most students in the trip had never been caving before; however, they seem to have enjoyed the adven­ ture. Left: iodd Nolt, one of the trip leaders, takes a moment to talk to the students about caving.

Stress, defined by Wellness Center Program Coordinator Kit Olson, is "a person's response to any kind of change." The human body responds to these changes with physiological, cognitive and emotional reactions. According to Olson, it has re­ cently been proven that when a person is under increased stress, their body produces not just adrenaline, but cortizol, which im­ pairs the memory. (This is defi­ nitely something to keep in mind the next time your parents ask you about your GPA.) Along with the recent discov­ ery of the release of cortizol and its effects, is the long-standing idea of the self-fulfilling prophesy. Olson describes it as self-talk. It goes like this: if a person thinks they are going to do horribly on a test, they probably will. Academic effects of stress are coupled with physical effects, as well. Some of those effects, given by Olson, are increased heart rate, faster or shallower breathing, in­ creased blood pressure, head­ aches, nausea, stomach cramps and even a full-blown panic attack. So what can students do to keep their stress levels at bay? Olson suggests finding the cause of the stress, which can "re­ duce the monster to a puppy dog." Exercise also can help do two really important things. First, it bums up the cortizol and the energy produced during a stress response. Secondly, it gets more oxygen into a person's body, which can help a person think more clearly. Exercise can be as simple as tak­ ing a short brisk walk. Off-campus SGA Senator Mark Harrison has found one way to deal with the stress of student gov­ ernment duties coupled with the demands of being an English Sec­ ondary Education major. "I change a lot when I'm doing something stressful. I go hang out with friends or get some­ thing to eat. I change venue and then come back to it," Harrison said. Fred Broome, a sophomore Secondary English major, keeps stress at a minimum by remember­ ing to relax. "I stop doing everything that stresses me out and relax . . .

" It seems that every album they released was considered to be a near masterpiece, if not a complete one. Almost 15 years into their reign as one of the best bands in this era, things for REM have changed. Drummer BillBerry withdrew from the band. This left REM at a crossroads, which would undoubtedly change the band forever. How would REM sound after the departure of Bill Berry? "Up" is our first look into what postBerry REM is. Guitarist Peter Buck admitted to Newsweek that with the loss of Berry, REM "couldn't rock" any­ more. The chemistry that was there with Berry just wasn't there anymore.

"There's Something About Mary" (I know it came out in the later part of summer, but it helps illustrate my point) started the sea­ son off with a bang. People turned out in droves to see the body-casted dog, yeah that was the reason, and laugh their cares away. That seemed to be a recurring trend throughout the fall—Holly­ wood low-budget comedies with less than blockbuster stars compet­ ing for the number one spot against mega-budget blockbusters. Who would have bet that "There's Something About Mary" would gross over $170 million? For that matter, did "Rush Hour" have any business pulling in close to $130 million? Studios that bank rolled can'tmiss hits like "Soldier" and "Ronin" took it on the jaw, while those stu­ dios that took minimal chances with "Mary," "Rush Hour" and "The Waterboy" are laughing all the way to the bank.

BOONE, NO 28607 (828) 262-1816 "Blade," a comic adapted movie from Marvel Comics, sur­ prised even the most devoted comic fans. While some were expecting another Wesley Snipes movie, what they got was an overdose of adrenalized action scenes and ter­ rific special effects. While most comic related movies have failed in the recent past, "Blade" delivered an enjoy­ able action feast. Notice a trend? Good. Mov­ iegoers are going to movies that they know they will enjoy. Many of the studios are put­ ting no-brainers out there. There wasn't an abundance of over­ acted, depressing, melodramatic epics (read "The English Patient" and "Titanic"). They saved those 'masterpieces for the summer crowds. While the fall doesn't get nearly the amount of movies the summer does, it does get a strong set of second-stringers. These are where the gems are found. Publicity for these movies is cut in half. Viewers aren't bom­ barded about how "size does mat­ ter." The public goes in with less than high hopes, and when, in the case of "Rush Hour" and "Mary," the movie delivers, they are en­ tertained. Two words: repeat viewing. Now that facts and figures have been trudged through, let's get to my favorite part: opinion. While I've had a steady diet of decent movies this semester, I have seen a couple of bombs.

Then with 4:49 left, Tech's AlvinJones picked up his fourth foul of the game and sent ASlFs Cedrick Holmes to the line.

In Louisiana, it was obvious that the game was impor­ tant to the students and the surrounding area. Of course, it's a Justin Griffin pain trying to figure Sports Editor out how to get to Natchitoches (pro­ nounced Nak-a-tish) Louisiana, let alone work out the financing of the trip. In the end, however, it was worth it. Purple clad fans, numbering "10,817, watched the game unravel. The crowd proved to be one of the most boisterous that Appalachian has played for this sea­ son. It was there that I saw what a play­ off game should have looked like in Boone a week ago against Tennessee State. The games were very contrasting. The game with Tennessee State in Boone drew a hearty crowd of 3,885. Al­ though it was a loud one, I am forcedlo ask, just how important is football at Ap­ palachian State? The conventional argument says that the first round game was during the Thanksgiving holiday, and that may have had an effect on attendance. At first glance, that's a good excuse. But the 1995 first round home play-off game over Thanksgiving drew 9,467 people. In 1995, 9,467 people didn't seem to care about the break. Does it even mattter that ASU has a team that was one of the eight best teams in the nation this year? No, probably not. It's too late for me to write an article blasting the student body for not coming to the games. You have all missed out on a heck of a year. Only two other teams in Appala­ chian State history have finished with ten victories. Perhaps the most impressive win of the season was a 30-27 triumph over Wake Forest. The win was not impressive be­ cause it was over a I-A team, but because ustin Griffin ports Editor , Coming into Saturday's second round ime with Northwestern State, (La.), it :emed like both ;ams were on jual ground.

Her shot put Appalachian ahead, 22-19, but two straight baskets by Virginia Tech's Michelle Houseright put the Hokies up 23-22. Both teams exchanged the lead sev­ eral times until the Hokies' Nicole Jones hit two straight free throws, giving Vir­ ginia Tech a lead of 33-30. However, with under five seconds re­ maining in the half, Appalachian's Dolan drove the lane, the defense collapsed, and she found teammate Tiffany Cole wide open, to knock down a jumper at the buzzer. The basket by Cole pulled ASU within one, 33-32. The Lady Apps began the second half by regaining the lead on a shot from Tif­ fany Chappell. Her jumper gave the lead back to Appalachian, 34-33. Virginia Tech came out of a media time-out hitting two straight three point­ ers, quickly pulling ASU out of their zone. The two straight three-pointers by Alberts gave the Hokies a lead of 45-36. Virginia Tech never trailed again. Appalachian pulled within three points, 48-45, on a shot from Karma Edwards, which quickly forced the Hokies to call a time-out. However, the Moun­ taineers were unable get any closer. A problem that has plagued Appala­ chian in all of their losses would cost them another game. "We had some key turn­ overs down the stretch that really hurt us," Breedlove explained. Appalachian only committed eight turnovers in the first half. However, ASU became unselfish in the second half and gave the ball away 13 times. For the game, ASU turned the ball over 21 times, com­ pared to Virginia Tech's 14. As a result of Appalachian creating turnovers, Virginia Tech increased their lead to as many as 13 points, making the score 64-51 with four minutes remaining in the game. Appalachian made one last desperate run after Coach Breedlove called a time­ out. Dolan hit a three-pointer, and Edwards nailed a jumper with 24 seconds remaining. Edwards' shot brought ASU within six, 66-60, but two straight free throws by Virginia Tech's Lisa Witherspoon sealed the game for the Hokies. The leading scorers for Appalachian were Dolan and Schoolfield, who both had 12 points. "We wanted to come out here and make a statement. Virginia Tech will be ranked in the top 25 next week," Breedlove said. "I think that we still made a statement.I was proud of our effort. We didn't stop playing hard," she added. With the loss to Virginia Tech, Appalachian's record is now at 3-4. �fage 8 Dec%n' la The Appalachian Looking for something new and exciting for the new year?

NC State and North jolina were duking it out to tide who had bragging rights the state for football, however portant that is. NC State isn't that good this year, and Caro- ootball finale Georgia Tech Scare from page 7 lina is at a very mediocre 6-5. Without a doubt, there were countless numbers of fans at that game that might have otherwise been in Boone. There was also the 23-6 drubbing that the Mountaineers took in Cullowhee to end the sea­ son that might have led students to believe that things were look­ ing down for the Mountaineers. The loss to Western, how­ ever, was a fluke. Appalachian had beaten them 13 times in a row; the Catamounts were due. The percentages said it was time. That still doesn't legitimize the low turnout for the first game. Until that point, the team had won nine games, and more importantly, all five games at home were won by an average score of 32-10. Could the fans not forgive the team for the loss? Were they more enthralled with a rivalry between two schools they didn't go to? Was it all be­ cause no one wanted to leave their families a day early? This was one of the best teams in Appalachian State his­ tory, and everyone missed their last home game.

Looking for a way to get involved next semesterP We have all the answers! a Phillips lay-up that made it 6563, ASU, Patterson fouled Akins again, and again the Jackets' fresh­ man point guard could only hit one of two. But on the ensuingpossession, Akins was called for a foul on Patterson which sent the Georgia Tech fans into another uproar. Just a few seconds earlier, the fans had protested a charging foul on Jones that gave him his fifth and ended his day. Patterson missed the first shot and then the second, but Phillips came up with the rebound and was quickly fouled. After nailing the first free throw, Phillips aired the second, making it 66-64, ASU. I Akins then proved why he might contend for ACC rookie-ofthe-year honors by driving down the court and nailing the tying jumper with 16 seconds left. ASU had one last chance to put it away as the Mountaineers took the ball down and volleyed it around the rim on three shots but could not get it to fall as time ex­ pired. In overtime, ASU jumped out to a quick lead on a Shawn Alexander tip-in. The Mountain­ eers then had a chance to extend their lead to 70-66, but Holmes missed two free throws. After backup Darryl LaBarrie hit a free throw to bring Tech within one, Alexander made a bad pass and gave Akins the chance to drive the length of the court and hit a running jumper that gave Tech the lead at 69-68. Then, with 1:14 left and ASU up by three, LaBarrie hit a jumper to make it 72-71, Appalachian. That gave Akins the striking dis­ tance he needed to hit his gameending shot. The two-point loss marked the Mountaineers' closest of the sea­ son. Their other two losses, which came to third-ranked North Caro­ lina and Big Ten powerhouse Min­ nesota, were by margins of 23 and 14 points respectively. "I was really concerned about this team coming in," said Bobby Cremmins afterwards, "I knew they had played Carolina and Min­ nesota well." Cremmins acknowledged the fact that, when an ACC team loses to a Southern Conference team, such as UNC did to College of Charleston that same afternoon, many fans and writers see it as a travesty. "If you loose to Appalachian, you know what kinds of things people are going to say," Cremmins said. As for the 4-3 Mountaineers, they were a little bit more positive. "Overall, it was a great college basketball game. We just kept scrapping and scrapping," said ASU Coach Buzz Peterson. "We can't hang our heads about this loss." Both Peterson and Phillips ac­ knowledged that it was the Moun­ taineers' 55 percent free throw shooting that decided the game. "Free throws killed us... that's our weakness right now," said Phillips, who had dozens of fam­ ily members and friends in atten­ dance at Alexander Memorial Coli­ seum to watch the game. The rest of the team noticed that vocal ASU contingency and knew who it was there for "We were going to try to get this one for Marshall," said Adderly, who spent 37 minutes on the court, more than any other Mountaineer. Ironically, Saturday's loss, which coincided with the football team's defeat at the hands of Northwestern State, marked the second time that Appalachian has seen its men's basketball team lose to Georgia Tech and its gridiron squad lose in the second round of the play-offs. On Dec. 2, 1995, Bobby Cremmins and the Yellow Jackets visited Varisty Gymnasium and beat the Mountaineers, 89-65. Later that day, Appalachian saw its Division I-AA title hopes dashed as Stephen F. Austin came back in the fourth quarter to beat ASU, 27-17. This year's Mountaineer team now has one more shot to win against a major conference team when they take on SEC power Georgia, tonight at 7 p.m. in Var­ sity Gym. Coming off this almost-win, Peterson and Phillips predicted that the team would be very fired up. "We've got to get a victory this time," said Phillips. - SPRING BREAK 99! *Cancun * Nassau * Jamacia* * Mazatlan * Acapulco * Florida* •Bahamas Cruise * South Padre* Travel Free and make lots of Cash!

Title A name given to the resource Appalachian, The - Student Newspaper Description An account of the resource The Appalachian is the student newspaper for Appalachian State University.

Tired of filling in those annoy­ ing circles and taking hours to take standardized tests? If so, Appalachian now has a solution. If all these tests could be put on computer it would be much easier and faster to take them. Students at Appalachian State now have this luxury, and many have already taken advantage of this new testing facility. Since midSeptember over 219 tests have been administered, such as the GRE, GMAT, Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), and the PRAXIS exams. ASU is fortunate to have this new testing center, as there are only three schools in the North Carolina University system wiitVv these testing facilities.

Ehren's main goal as Student Body President is to "represent the students to the best of his abilities." It is now 10:10. Ehren is writ­ ing up newly passed legislation dealing with the extension of pool hours and putting ice machines in residence halls for Vice-chancellor for Student Development Dr. Gre­ gory Blimling. Dr. Blimling is SGA's contact person in administration. Accord­ ing to Ehren, all of the adminis­ trators look to the students for their opinions. Ehren himself has a vote on the Board of Trustees for the university. 10:50: Ehren has done some business around the office and is getting ready to go to class. At 11:00, Ehren has an American Presidency class and at 12:00, he has statistics. Ehren returns to the office at 12:55. It is time for lunch at the Gold Room. He is in luck; today they are serving the Thanksgiving special. He got the turkey and dressing with gravy and mashed potatoes. That's not a bad meal for $3.45. Ehren talked about his politi­ cal past and future. He got his start in politics at Watauga High School as a delegate for his sophomore class on the stu­ dent council. His junior year he was elected junior class president and he was elected student body president his senior year. During his freshman and sophomore years at ASU, Ehren served as a senator for SGA. His junior year, he chaired the external affairs committee and ran for student body president with Christy Barrick as the candidate for vice president. That is where he stands today. Ehren is considering going to law school or attending graduate school for public administration. He grew up in Boone and says that future plans include running for local office. Ehren finishes lunch at 1:35. Now he has a little free time and decides to call his girlfriend. She is not there. 1:40: Luck is once again on Ehren's side. His girlfriend returns his phone call. Ehren gets off the phone at 1:45. He has to prepare for a meet­ ing with SGA advisor Dino Dibernardi at 2:00. Ehren meets with Dibernardi on a weekly basis to discuss pertinent issues and Dibernardi attends all of the meet­ ings of the student senate. Accord­ ing to Ehren, Dibernardi keeps SGA running. Dibernardi shows up in Ehren's office shortly after 2:00. The two discuss different ideas for fundraisers to contribute to the Centennial Celebration. Some of the ideas discussed included dedi­ cating a clock in the Plemmons Student Union and soliciting other ideas for fundraisers from the stu­ dent body. Ehren's meeting with Dibernardi ends at 3:05. He has a few minutes to himself. 3:10: Ehren has a meeting with Director of Public Affairs David Bowling. They discuss a plan on how to have SGA work directly with other campus clubs and or­ ganizations. They talk for about ten minutes. 3:20: Ehren's girlfriend stops by the office.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Local bands need love, too To the Editor: Regarding the low turn out for the "Dear America" show, 1 can only sympathize with the di­ lemma, but only because I am a fan of a band who you assume does get good crowds. I'm speaking of Agent Ink, listed along with Vertical Horizon, Jump Little Children, Royal Crown Revue, and others as doing well. Agent Ink is a great band, one of the best I've ever heard, and the best in Boone, hands down. Considering that, the 25 people that show up to hear them play the Alpine Lounge doesn't seem satisfactory; and the only reason they play Alpine Lounge in the first place is because restaurant and club owners here are too narrow minded and have banned the band from playing. I hate seeing such a talented group go to waste here. It's really frustrating. So you're completely right; talented bands shouldn't go unnoticed, and that goes for talented LOCAL bands as well. RS. The new opinion editor is great, keep up the good work! Nick Misner durango31@meds:ape.com Tell the truth about Lee To the Editor: I would like to discuss a few errors I found in Jennifer Lancaster and Katie Scott's opinion article on Spike Lee. First off, Spike was kidding when he said the word Appalachian incorrectly, he was laughing and corrected himself. The student who was a Knicks fan was from Mars Hill and asked Lee to come to that area be­ cause UNC-Asheville is close by and that the area needs enlightenment. Also, when he discussed our playing the Tar Heels, he was kidding, and saying what we all knew was going to happen, he was JOKING. Get your facts straight, get a sense of humor, and quit writing things throughout your paper that are not backed up by facts. I realize this was an opinion article, but the people who weren't there deserve to know the truth. Jason Rhodes HR15578 Parking, not yogurt To the Editor: Has anyone thought of a parking garage to help with the problem of available on-campus parking? Or construction of an overpass or another tun­ nel on Rivers Street to make crossing easier? These would be more useful ways to spend the budget than on a yogurt/pretzel shop when both items are already available on campus. Elizabeth Wosczyna ASU Box 7582 Hey students, more fans means more fun To the Editor: I'm writing in agreement with Anthony Holderied's article in Thursday's paper about the pa­ thetic turnout for the ASU mens' basketball home opener against King College. True, it wasn't the biggest game of the year. That shouldn't be the reason though for such small atten­ dance. And don't get me wrong, I understand homework and studying for tests. But come on, that didn't hold true for everybody I'm sure. As a former basketball player myself I know for a fact you can get a team to push just a little harder and step it up a notch by a strong crowd response. Take for example last year's team that beat UNCCharlotte (UNCC) at Varsity Gym. It was pretty much a full house that night that witnessed ASU defeat UNCC, who at that time was ranked in the top 25. There's your evidence. Now, ASU has a strong returning lineup that fell only one game short of making it to the NCAA tour­ nament last year. Also, there's the addition of a few new faces, which I'm pleased to say are quite prom­ ising I think for this program. And when you add the finishing touch of a man called Buzz Peterson, one of the successful coaches on the rise, who shouldn't or wouldn't want to at­ tend the games? Especially considering Peterson has iui ucu mis pivs£iuiu around. Students: Trv to show as much support for the basketball team as you do the football team, by com­ ing out to the games. I know most people who, when they think of ASU athletics, think of football. There's nothing wrong with that; I support the football team just as much. Yes, I hope they win the I-AA National Champion­ ship, and I'll be there to support them. I just want to make a point that I'd like to see stronger fan turnouts for the basketball games. Brian Meadows bm23560 What school do we go to again? Oh yeah, ASU To the Editor: I am a 1993 graduate of ASU. I have attended all home games since the 1989 season. The attendance at the playoff game against Ten­ nessee State was a joke. The normal alumni crowd was in attendance. The student body should be ashamed. As a high school teacher and coach, I've seen larger student body crowds at a high school game. I realize that the students were on Thanksgiving break, but this is no excuse. The football team had to stay away from their families to practice. Most students went home for a five day vaca­ tion, not to think of ASU until Sunday afternoon. Only eight schools in America had a I-AA home playoff game. I bet WCU would have loved to have a playoff game (home or away). I heard of many students going to or watch­ ing the UNC-N.C. State game. You chose to come to ASU; now how about supporting them? I believe that we have the best team in the Carolinas, and I would rather watch the black and gold play than anyone else. Just ask yourself "Why did 1 not come and sup­ port my school?" 1 just want you to realize, you are lucky to have a football team that is good year in and year out. For all of the bandwagon fans, I'll see you in Chattanooga on Dec. 19. That's the national cham­ pionship game, I'm sure you'll attend like you've been there all season. Go APPS! Scott Harrill Class of '93 harrills@gcs.gaston.kl2.nc.us Navy SEALs make great leaders To the Editor: I am writing in response to Nathan McKinney's opinion column on Jesse Ventura in the Nov. 10th edition of The Appalachian. It appears to me that McKinney doesn't have the slightest clue as to what he was talking about. The only thing he knows about Governor Ventura is that he was a former professional wrestler/ac­ tor and he is now the governor elect of Minne­ sota. McKinney then assumes to know-the intelli­ gence of Jesse Ventura, basing that assumption on his past as a professional wrestler. First off, I would like to inform McKinney about Ventura. He's a former Navy SEAL (under­ water demolition) and he served in the Vietnam War. Yes, he was a professional wrestler, playing the bad guy role. Yes, he is an actor, starring in Schwarzenegger action films. Oh and by the way, he starred in "Predator" and "The Running Man," not "Total Recall." Even a "complete idiot" would know that. However, this past of military/wrestling/act­ ing has little to no bearing on any of his political policies or ideas. Ronald Reagan was an actor. John Glenn, re­ spected Ohio senator, was merely an astronaut. Jesse's a Populist/Reform party hero. The people of Minnesota, and the rest of America in fact, are tired of the same old Republican/Demo­ crat screwing them over and leading their state into gridlock. Maybe Jesse Ventura is not the traditional poli­ tician and maybe he's not the answer to the prob­ lems of Minnesota or the rest of the nation, but the status quo is definitely not the answer either. McKinney's (complete idiot) ignorant assump­ tions (firm grasp on two letter words) about Ventura or the American voter may be what leads (drags) this nation (stink> pit) into the 21st cen­ tury (Armageddon).

Prior hat week, different ASU orgaitions got together and planned different activities which lid raise money for the Hospity House and the Hunger Coain. Students were pretty lucky iut the weather on Thursday ning, as it was not as cold as it I been in previous years. Students were wearing only extra layer, which they said felt tty comfortable. People started to gather on iford Mall around 7 p.m. Some ught their tents and sleeping ;s. Others didn't bring anything since they weren't venturing for the Sleep Out. They came to support the event and learn more about homelessness and hunger in America and abroad. There were discussions about how many people die of hunger and how many children are with­ out a home. One flier that caught several students' attention said, "By the time you finish reading this, one child has died of hunger." Speakers came from the Hos­ pitality House and talked about the different programs offered by the shelter. One speaker was a home­ less woman, and another speaker worked at the Hospitality House. Close to 8 p.m., students formed a circle and introduced themselves. It was a unique expe­ rience because of the student di­ versity within the circle. One could see the students came from different backgrounds and shared views that sometimes did not coincide. Some students were involved with Hunger and Homelessness week, while others happened to walk by and join. Students built a fire in a trash can. Eventually, the heat brought them closer together as the drum beat spread warmth throughout the atmosphere. Students, who had been part of the committee that organized the events, spoke to others about what it meant to be able to help create awareness of hunger and Several students entertained the crowd at the Sleep Out (Nick Greenway/Staff Photographer). homelessness on campus. Dan Wilkes, one of the com­ mittee members, represented S.A.VE. (Students Actively Volun­ teering for the Environment). ie student prepares his tent for the nignt as his dog sits nearby (Nick Greenway/Staff otographer). Wilkes, a freshman at ASU, slept out in a cardboard box. He said it wasn't as cold as he thought it would be and was able to sleep well. "I wanted to help out with Hunger and Homelessness week, and I also like to camp out," Wilkes said. However, not many students were as brave as Dan. As soon as the drum beat departed from the mall, many students packed up and went home. James Clark, a former home­ less man, said that people don't take the time to stop and be aware. He said people usually get so caught up in their daily activi­ ties and forget to step back and look at the greater picture. Clark also mentioned that anyone can be homeless one day. "I know many people who are two paychecks from being home­ less," Clark said. Clark said that many shelters in the area are helpful toward people going through a bad time in their lives. "There is a shelter in Greens­ boro where people can go to eat a meai and spend the night. It serves around 200 people nightly," Clark said. Maybe the stereotype of homelessness doesn't allow people to realize that they can be without a home one day. People almost au­ tomatically associate homelessness with a person with no job and no goals. Many homeless people are currently employed and may also go to school. People are gradually reaching a better service level, yet the greater the awareness becomes, the faster those services will be provided. When people know that hun­ ger and homelessness do happen, then becoming aware is one step ahead of not thinking about it at all. The Sleep Out, part of Hunger and Homelessness week, went to benefit the Hospitality House and the Hunger Coalition (Nick Greenway/Staff Photographer). tame of principal in 'Saved by the Bell,' date of Challenger explosion, ignificance of 4:20, all questions asked in one ASU professor's class Loh list several statements such as, "There has been only one Pope." iff Writer Muir felt that this article was insulting that age group.

Muir came up with the ques­ aged"6 Persian Gulf War was tions for people 45 years old, while Lhis article then proceeded to the students in his class came up Lin with the questions for the 18-yearolds. He called this the "Us and Them" survey, taken from a song off one of Pink Floyd's albums. One reason for Muir's interest in doing the survey was for pro­ fessors to learn more about their students. "It was a practical demonstra­ tion of the differences in culture between the 'Us' generation (Gen­ eration X) and the 'Them' genera­ tion (Baby Boomers)," Muir said. "We, as teachers, need to realize what is important to our students. If we can do this, we can become better teachers. If we become bet­ ter teachers, you (the student body) become better students." The results of the survey did not surprise Muir. The majority of the age groups did get more an­ swers right in their section than in the opposing section, however, Muir does stress that the experi­ ment was not conducted in a sci­ entific way, since random people were not selected and the students asked were in a controlled envi­ ronment. Muir also said that things women know differ from the things that men know. Muir said that traditionally, men tend to know more about politics than women. What surprised him the most was that the younger generation got more questions right on the older generation section than he expected. Some of Muir's students thought the survey was a very in­ teresting project. Ashley B. Peterson, a freshman from Win­ ston-Salem, said she was surprised by her results, as well. "Some of the questions that people got right, I thought they wouldn't know them. It was inter­ esting to see the final results. My mom actually thought that some of the adults' questions were too outdated," Peterson said. Matthew S. Brown, a fresh­ man from Greensboro, also said people he talked to knew more than he thought they would. "My mom knew more than I thought she would about the younger genera­ tion questions. The actual date questions were tough, and some of the people would almost get it right, but they were off by a year or so," Brown said. Muir plans to do more with this survey in the fu­ ture. As a preliminary test, Muir was satisfied with the results. He wants to expand the questionnaire by taking out some questions and add­ ing others to cover more topics. Muir also wants to use a more random sample of people so that he can do the survey with a more scientific approach. Muir's survey can help to demonstrate to both gen­ erations that they aren't as different as they'd like to think. Only time will tell. 1. SbKM, Br&Sp. te:', Vfesc ** tW-TT lil** «r carud J £=: fee.

Starring Will "Mr. Action" Smith, Gene Hackman and Jon Voight, the movie starts with a bang and ends with an even bigger one. This movie has two really big things going for it: the aforemen­ tioned Smith, who won over movie audiences everywhere with great action flicks such as "Bad Boys" and "Men in Black;" and a two-and-ahalf-minute long epic going by the name of "Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace." This was the main reason, originally, for seeing "Enemy of the State." But after making it through the pulse-pounding gauntlet, the "Star Wars" trailer was just an added bonus. As is with every Will Smith The tape ends up in the hands thriller, "State" begins with a peek of Zavitz, (Jason Lee) an old col­ inside his character's somewhat lege buddy of Robert Dean (Will normal everyday routine: the good Smith).

Patterson, with the 7' Quincy Hall towering over him on the inbounds play, barely got the ball in, as Branch pestered Phillips while he maneuvered into posi­ tion. "He's a physical player," Phillips said of Branch. "He bumped me out of bounds, and I had to get back in and go around him. I knew at that point of the game there's not going to be a foul call. But that's basketball. It's a physical game. I just had to work my way around him." The shot by Phillips com­ pleted a 10-point comeback for the Mountaineers. "Our kids are excited," Peterson said after the surprise win. "We knew we were playing a very talented team down, and this was a game that we weren't favored to win. I challenged them a little bit, and they responded." The Pirates led 48-38 with 13 minutes left, but the Mountain­ eers stepped up their full-court pressure and went on a 10-2 run. The Pirates recovered and led 61-56 with four minutes left, but seven straight points by Phillips put the Mountaineers up 63-61. Phillips took the lead for the Mountaineers.with three consecu­ tive free throws, after he was fouled while attempting a threepointer with 2:41 left.

Head Coach Barbie Breedlove used the rivalry as motivation. "When we arrived, there was a huge sign on their administration building that said 'Beat Appala­ chian.' That got us fired up," she said. The victory over Western Carolina was Appalachian's first Southern Conference win. The 6856 win moved the Lady Mountain­ eers from eighth place to third in the conference. The game, however, wasn't as close as the final score indicates. The Mountaineers dominated early. Late in the second half, Westem made a run to shorten the lead while Appalachian had the second stringers in. "We came out and played ag­ gressive defense early. It was a team effort," Breedlove said. "In the second half, we were up as much as 24 points," she added. The lead allowed ASU to de­ velop their bench and rest key players for the game with Virginia Tech tonight. ASU had three players in double figures: Noel Dolan had ten points, and Beth Schoolfield and Karma Edwards each had 16 points. "Karma is looking to score more. She's a good offen­ sive threat. She only had one turnover, and that's what we like to see from our guards," Breedlove said. As a team, Appalachian had 26 turnovers. "We have got to get our turnovers down. That number is just unacceptable," Breedlove said. Appalachian had 51 re­ bounds, while Western Carolina had 39 rebounds, numbers that pleased Breedlove, "Rebounding is so important. We tell our kids that if they can rebound and play solid defense, then they'll get minutes," she added. Turnovers were the problem again in the Vermont Tourna­ ment against Washington State. The Mountaineers choked up the ball 35 times, and as a re­ sult, lost, 96-77. "Washington State is a very talented team. They are one of the premier teams in the coun­ try," said Breedlove. Appalachian had two play­ ers in double figures in the tour­ nament: Lucia Borcinova and Schoolfield. Borcinova had 19 Basketball on page 9 See A p p �DISCOVER CARD www.harristeeter.com The Best Is What Were All About!

Dolan missed the jont end of the one-and-one for Appalachian, however, ASU came ip with a key defensive stop. I Dolan and Schoolfield were the leading scorers for the Apps. Schoolfield was honored for her play by being named to the All jburnament team. That was a nice honor for her," Breedlove said. Turnover woes continued for Appalachian as they committed 24 lovers against UNC-Charlotte, and lost, 66-78. Sum1 r' The Lady Mountaineers were leading, 39-35, at halftime, howver, in the second half, the turnovers began to impact the game. "In ie last five minutes we had too many turnovers and too many fouls," reedlove said. Appalachian pulled down 50 rebounds against UNC-C. However, iey gave the ball away 24 times, while Charlotte only committed 12 irnovers in the game. | Schoolfield was the leading scorer for the Lady Mountaineers, nth 13 points, and Natasha Lettsome had 12 points and eight rejounds. In uan mp Football from page 7 I —— g for one touchdown and three TSU turnovers, the defense also presred Murray throughout the game, recording three sacks and finally Hiking him out in the fourth quarter. The defense also held the Tirs' running attack to a modest 131 yards. "They're known to pull out all the tricks ... we were prepared for " said senior Joey Hall of the Tennessee State offense. The Mountaineers now must prepare for another 10-2 team, Northstern State, that also won handily this weekend, 48-28, over the th seed, Illinois State. Northwestern, which went 10-2 to win the uthland Conference this year, lost only to Missouri, 35-14, and Troy jte, 14-13. Like Appalachian, the Demons were once ranked second the country behind Georgia Southern this season, but fell after their is to Troy State. If the Mountaineers were to win in Natchitoches, they would host other game in Boone in the semifinal round, since both third-seeded :hmond and sixth-seeded McNeese State were eliminated by Lehigh d UMass in close games over the weekend. Yet before that can happen, the Mountaineers must win their secd round game, a feat they haven't accomplished since 1987 when :y beat both Richmond and Georgia Southern before falling to trshall. Hall summed up the team's philosophy about the playoffs best. "A'1 ! seniors, we look at it like every game could be our last... we need come out focused and play as hard as we know we can," Hall said. Get yourself Noticed!

The game was a nailbiter for fans on both sides of Varsity Gym. But in the end, Furman would edge out the Mountaineers. Furman went on to lose in the second round to TennesseeChattanooga, the defending Southern Conference champi­ ons. Chattanooga defeated West­ ern Carolina in the champion­ ship match on Sunday for their back-to-back Southern Confer­ ence championships. They will enter the field of 64 teams in the NCAA tournament. With the exception of game three, the entire match was one of the most exciting of the 1998 tournament. The Mountaineers fought through an entire season of ups and downs that found its end­ ing on their home court. With the season's end came the departure of senior Paula Levay. Levay ended her college career after setting a new school record for all-time kills, passing Kim Nelson for the title. jROSiSic^voL Snowboards I SPRING BREAK "99' CANCUN find them at ALPINE SKI CENTER ^ijgljj M with everything you need for the slopes 3440-B Tynecastle Hwy., Banner Elk - 898-9701 Holiday Sale Going on now 1 JAMAICA ALL TRIPS INCLUDE N® Roundtrip Air Hotel Accomodatons RT Transfers Free Party Pack Stall Assistance 21 Hours of Free Drinks Free Side Excursion 14 Free Meals Plus Much Much Much More ' SPRING BREAK 1 I COUPON I I TAKE $25 OFF I I YOUR VACATION I WITH THIS AD ^ L 1-800-AA6-8355 wwvi.sunlireaKs.coni JAMAICAN ME CRAZ Mngs Night!!! ree hot wings wl ticket by Murphy's!! :atered SELAH Reggae Musi Alpine Lounge Cosmic Bowlinq 5.Y.03. 6 Limit pack Av $5 gets you: Selah Unlimited Bowling & Wings,wings, wings! 9:00 -12:45 Friday DEC 4 www.appstate.edu/~apps �Page 10 Dece;mbe NEWS Appalachian News appears in each issue of the paper.

Marshall iversity, a former member of the tthern Conference, took one d to I-A football.

The service that the move of the football program provided for other Marshall sports was one of the most rewarding aspects of the move, said West. Since public per­ ception holds that a school's con­ ference affiliation typecasts its other sports, _JH West said, the move to I-A • was very ben­ eficial to Marshall's other sports. Once Marshall's football pro­ gram became I-A and the univer­ sity joined the I-A Mid American Conference, its additional athletic programs prospered as well.

Jason Owens Staff Writer The town of Boone and the Academic Integrity Code were topics of concern at Tuesday night's meeting of the Student Government Association (SGA). Mayor Velma Burnley ad­ dressed the SGA about issues such as town parking and Ap­ palachian State's relationship with the town of Boone. Mayor Burnley opened her speech talking about the com­ ing of the International Special Olympics to Boone next year. On Tuesday, it was announced that ASU will provide housing for the Olympians in the cam­ pus residence halls. Aside from the Special Olympics, Mayor Burnley ad­ dressed the issue of Boone's growing population, due to the university and the migration of private citizens to Boone. Boone's town council recently passed#a resolution in support of limiting the growth of the ASU, said Burnley. Because of the develop­ ment Boone has undergone from the population increase, a great deal of water runoff has caused flooding throughout the town. Mayor Burnley offered several solutions to the prob­ lem. to five lanes at the intersection One residential area located with Highway 421 and will have near the armory is rrequeuuy siuewajR^ auu uirc ianes on either flooded.

It will be widened The faculty committee is dedi­ cated to taking away opportunities for students to cheat, such as changing tests every semester. The student committee is re­ sponsible for coming up with a stu­ dent academic integrity pledge and revising the Academic Integ­ rity Code. According to Parker, during the presidential election, 80 per- • cent of the students that did vote, voted "yes" on a referendum re­ quiring that students sign an aca­ demic integrity pledge with each test, quiz, and homework assign­ ment. Parker also said that there are three major changes to the pro­ posed Academic Integrity Code. Primarily, the code will be easier to understand. The code will also be worded in a manner that will be defensible in court. The third goal in the change of the code is to make ASU a leader in academic integrity. One suggestion is to have all applicants sign an academic integ­ rity pledge with their applications. "It's foolish to expect this code to eradicate every instance of cheating at Appalachian," said Parker. "Instead, the code is de­ signed to make a climate change." The pledge is intended to serve the purpose of having stu­ dents think twice about cheating when the opportunity arises. �Page 2 Nowemb ' ei Ns I-A from page 1 Director Lee Fowler. Finances were more of the es­ sence in Middle Tennessee State's move to I-A than they were in Marshall's. A new weight room, track, soccer field, press box and 16 luxury boxes were all part of the additions made before the move. Two additional athletic direc­ tors and sports information direc­ tors, as well as two new weight coaches, were all hired in prepa­ ration of the program's jump to the I-A ranks. A $45 increase in student fees each semester was the strategy the university used to raise the major­ ity of its funds, Fowler said. When the efforts to move to IA were put into place, Middle Ten­ nessee State's ticket sales soared from 11,000 to 22,000. The Board of Trustees was the spearhead of the drive to bring IA football to Troy State University. The Trojans will play their first I-A campaign in 2002. An increase in the funding Troy State receives from the state of Alabama was the Board's main incentive to lobby for I-A football, said Troy State Athletics Director Direct from Russia... THE MOSCOW BALLET Johnny Williams. Even though Troy State ranks third, behind the University of Ala­ bama and Auburn University, in student enrollment, far fewer dol­ lars are allocated for its use by the state. The funding disparity has been attributed to the size of the football programs found at Ala­ bama and Auburn, Williams said. "Football is the number one marking tool of an institution," Williams said. The town of Troy, Ala., backed its home university's move to I-A football by passing a $4.5 million bond issue to expand Troy State's stadium. The number of corpora­ tions giving their financial support to Troy State doubled once the ef­ forts to move to I-A football began. "Getting people to believe in the dream to go to I-A," Williams said, was the most challenging part of the jump. Each university has taken dif­ ferent roads, overcome separate obstacles and collected varying rewards. As a result, each can of­ fer unique bits of advice to other schools considering the implemen- IN THE NEWS 'No tation ofal-Afoo^^ Jf^g forwairdfe as opposed"to "one: 10^' or Itv 1 0 when planning a i.A panning a 1.4 "- vvl'»ams 7. i A efits far outweigh ti.

Often, we use this column to examine Problems and issues at Appalachian that may niake it seem like this is a bad place to go to Iscjwol. While ASU has a few flaws, all in all it is a great school nestled in a beautiful mountain community. Especially when com­ pared with one of this state's other moun­ tain schools, Western Carolina. This week, down in the greater "Cullowhee metropolitan area, students at Western are gearing up for their Super Bowl; ASU vs. WCU. > The relationship these two schools share •on the football field is rather symbolic of the relationship they share in general. Appala­ chian, academically, athletically and aestheti­ cally is the better mountain school. That is evidenced by the simple fact that while ASU tries desperately to find room for all the high school graduates who want to come here, turning away many in the pro­ cess, Western is losing students and adver­ tising their school to try to get people to come. If only we could get some of their unused parking spots to transfer here. And if you've ever been to the "city" of Cullowhee you know why. There is NOTH­ ING to do there. Literally. Nothing. • If you're one of those people who com­ plain about Boone and think that it has noth­ ing, please take a hike down through the ipountains this weekend to watch the Moun­ taineers whoop up on the Catamounts. Af­ ter the game, which should be over by 3:00 because of the television time-outs (although hopefully it will be decided before that), take a tour of the campus and the town. It's not hard. It should only take about 15 minutes. - In a way, ASU has sort of a big brother relationship with Western.

He had been a gifted airplane mechanic and occasional pilot for the Navy and American Air­ lines, even flying Air Force One on occasion. Now, he's lucky if he glances overhead to see a jet trail across the sky. John Glenn is no media tool, he's simply continuing the dream started in the 1950s. While almost every other Mercury astronaut returned to space, some even to walk upon the moon, Glenn stayed grounded. The essence of your article makes it sound as if this is some new ratings scheme cooked up by CNBC and a money-hungry NASA. Accord­ ing to the "Time" cover story on the event, it was Glenn himself who came up with the idea to return to space. Also, Glenn is officially up there conduct­ ing research on aging, something that, even at twenty, we will have to worry about sooner than you think. If the media is giving this heartwarming story coverage, it doesn't make a respected mili­ tary man, astronaut, businessman and senator a "tool." Abby Carpenter ac34804 More victimization pieces, please To the Editor: In response to the Oct. 29 editorial headed "Remember who you work for, please," I work for the taxpayers of North Carolina-all of them. It seems to me that the History Department served those taxpayers as well as possible in dealing with an enrollment overrun not of its own making. The only inconvenienced student men­ tioned in the editorial has been provided an independent study for the needed credit, for which, by the way, faculty receive no remunera­ tion. Another recent editorial expounded the ri­ diculous claim that faculty conspire to ruin Fall Break for students by assigning work at mid­ term. Should academics come to a halt for a twoday vacation? Should administrators ensure exact enrollment by sending extra students back home at the beginning of the term? One of these editorials ends with the state­ ment that students are "the most important people around here." I beg to differ. This institution cannot func­ tion without the equal cooperative effort of stu­ dents, staff, faculty and administrators. None of these groups is more important than any other, either as members of the uni­ versity community or the human race. There are some pressing issues that Appa­ lachian editorialists might address, such as de­ clining academic standards, bikers and skate­ boarders who terrorize campus pedestrians, and whether the new ASU logo should feature Yosef in, like, a backwards baseball cap. Wouldn't anything be better than more hu­ morless student-victimization pieces? Ron Coulthard English Department Women are not fried potatoes To the Editor: As an intelligent female college student here at ASU, I can honestly say that the article "Polygamy is more than just getting laid", is very demeaning and insulting to young women today. I was very appalled by your comments and sug­ gestions, along with many other females on campus. The last statement in your article, "Women re­ ally are like potato chips," was very demeaning to females. Just because you feel this way does not mean you have to characterize all men and women into having your beliefs also. The article, and most of all, your statements, were very insulting. Yes, 1 was raised in a southern Bap­ tist home and my beliefs are against polygamy, but that does not mean you have the right to categorize me with these other few idiotic people who do be­ lieve in this ideal concept. I also believe in freedom of speech, yours and mine. I find it very disparaging to hear those re­ marks from your article though. Being an intelligent, young, female college stu­ dent, I am very open-minded, but do not appreciate being cast as some "poor, helpless, lonely woman, who cannot manage on my own, without the help of a man." I believe in marriage to only one man, loving that man, and giving all I have to our marriage, which is considered by me an "equal partnership." I was outraged when I read this article and I am very ashamed we have people like you writing for our school newspaper... people who haven't figured out that women are just as powerful as men in the world today. want your diploma to be worth something educate yourself on your rights because without your I vote we may lose everything we have ever worked for.

Leah Rubin \t19L37 Bias exists in atheists, too To the Editor: I am writing in response to your article on the 'mystery of God'. WAIT! Don't throw my let­ ter aside just yet. I'm pretty sure you've gotten a lot of nasty letters from Christians and, since I happen to be a Christian, you probably expect that here. I promise I am not writing to preach the fires of Hell to you; I simply want to defend my faith. I do ask that you read this letter with an open mind toward me (a Christian) and Christianity. I would like to mention first that, just as you find writings about Jesus to be biased, I found your article to be biased. I say this because you didn't include anything positive about Christian­ ity. I assume you are not very fond of Christians, but is that any reason to trash Christianity? When you judge Christianity, don't base your decision on the people, but consider the religion itself. Christianity tells us to love one another, care for one another, tend to those less fortunate, etc. What is so bad about that? Where in the Bible does it say to Judge your neighbor, and look down on your brother'? I assume that showing love to others is still, to some extent, respected. You then commented on Christians who con­ demn others. What does this have to do with Angel Absher Christianity? Jesus said, "Do not judge," (Mat­ AA29250 thew 7:1). So, how can you blame him for some­ thing people are doing 2,000 years after his Women, know your rights death? This hardly complies with your depiction of Dear Editor: Christianity as a religion of hypocrisy. Even if I am writing a letter in regards to the amount of people do judge others, the religion condemns women on this campus who are unaware of their it. I would now like to note that (though some rights coming up in the next election. Women need to become educated about their reproductive rights would love to think otherwise) no one can know because during the upcoming election, we could lose that their religion is real. I agree with you on that. But, isn't that the whole point of religion? all our rights to our own bodies. Now is the time for women to come together and God will reward the faithful, right? If we could stand up against the system that is trying to screw prove God's existence, what reward could we hs. You may ask how they are trying to do this. I will earn by believing?

If you see Letters page 4 i a #<( * �Page 4 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Christianity is not a demand. It is an offer. No one is (or I should probably say that no one should be) telling anyone what to do what to pray, when to worship, or what to read. Though you see faith as some­ thing that torments (which, if it were so, it would be rather absurd to say humans created such to ease their minds), I can say that the only frustration I have found in religion is sprung from the desire to become more religious, yet re­ maining in constant failure. I hope you will base your opin­ ion of Christianity upon the reli­ gion rather than what people do in its name. I also hope you keep in mind that I am not writing in the angry tone many Christians probably are; I am writing in hopes that your future articles will be a little more fair to my religion. April Butler ASU Box 22465 Dispute about repute To the Editor: Paul Emerson's letter in the latest edition of your paper brought up something I've heard countless times during my last three and a half years here—that sorority houses can't be built in Boone because of an ancient law modeled to save Boone from houses of ill-repute. Every time I hear this, it really bothers me. First of all, I have got to won­ der if this law really exists. Has anyone actually seen it on the books? Can anyone remember women being arrested in this town because a group of them wanted to split rent? Is this just another silly cam­ pus legend like the one about get­ ting a perfect GPA if your room­ mate commits suicide? If this law does indeed exist, is the Town of Boone really going to enforce it? Enforcing such a law would make the town a laughing­ stock. Organizations from all over the United States would descend on the town to lynch the sexist oppressors. Furthermore, are the Boone authorities so suspicious of prosti­ tute activity that they would sus­ pect women from a universitysponsored organization of trying to start a sorority house just to mask an unscrupulous money making venture? I'm going to make an assump­ tion, perhaps foolish, that the town has enough faith in the university not to think it's trying to get po­ tential brothel staffers together. Finally, let's assume that this law really exists, and it's not just an urban legend. And let's assume that the sorority girls don't have the guts to flagrantly break the law (obviously not a big assumption). How hard would it be to have the silly, old law repealed?

First is a praise and a thank you for excellent advance cover­ age and after the fact reporting on the various activities associated with Homecoming '98. The Appa­ lachian, its writers, editors and photographers did a great job! Thank you on behalf of the Home­ coming '98 planning committee. I would, however, like to re­ spond to both your editorial (Bad Timing Nov. 10) and IFC President Jason Carter's letter (Nov. 5) in which you both question the deci­ sion for a Saturday Homecoming Parade. The proposal to move the pa­ rade from Friday at 3:00 p.m. (tra­ ditionally almost no alumni and very few university employee spec­ tators, some class conflicts for stu­ dent and faculty) to Saturday at 10:00 a.m. (Lots of Alumni and university employee spectators and no class conflicts for students and faculty) came from the 1999 Centennial Homecoming Commit­ tee to our Homecoming '98 com­ mittee.

It seems to me that a big group of Greek women could march down to town hall, speak nicely to a few people, go to a few meet­ ings, and get the law repealed.

I've heard a lot of people whine about this stupid law and how unfair and sexist it is. I urge these people to quit whining and do something! Challenge the law! Change things! Find out if you re­ ally are being oppressed before you shout oppression! Sorority Sisters—if you do in­ deed find out that Boone is ruled by evil males who want to keep women from congregating, do your bit for your sex and the world, and get the law changed! You may win some of the re­ spect you're so often denied.

For students that reside off ipus or that don't have a car, re than likely, they are a per­ cent fixture in their life here loone. Who are they? They are the faithful people he AppalCART bus system j pick students up at desiged stops and take them to s; the mall or wherever else lents need to go. Most students at ASU know at it's like to ride the jalCART, but few know what 'To to actually drive one. Matthew Putnam and Ben dwood, two Appalachian State jents, have the driver's seat perspective. Both are AppalCART drivers. Putnam, a junior public rela­ tions major from Asheville, and Arrowood, a senior design major also from Asheville, both started driving the AppalCART this semes­ ter. Putnam and Arrowood know what it's like to ask for IDs and say to people, "No, this route doesn't go to State Farm." Putnam said he had prior ex­ perience with commercial driving. "I used to work for the State Department of Transportation dur­ ing the summer, so I already had my commercial driver's license from that, and I decided to go ahead and get my passenger endorsement so I could drive buses this summer," Putnam said. Putnam originally had the com­ mon misconception that the AppalCART was associated with ii Arrowood doesn't want students to be mad at him if - AppalCART is late. He said sometimes the unexpected ppens (Erica Riccardelli/Staff Photographer). ASU. When he went to ASU Stu­ dent Employment to inquire about a job, they directed him to the AppalCART office. After applying for a job at the AppalCART office, Putnam was hired. "This is the best job in the world, at least in Boone," Putnam said. Putnam then called his friend, Ben Arrowood. Arrowood went to the AppalCART office and was hired, as well. Not just anyone can be hired to drive the AppalCART. According to Tom Gates at the AppalCART office, there are many requirements to drive the AppalCART. "You need a CDL, need to pass a drug and alcohol test and a physical," Gates said. Drivers also need to be 21 or older, and experience with buses is preferable. As far as the training goes, Arrowood said he had to drive the AppalCART vans along the rural routes, which helps to en­ sure that an applicant can handle the buses well. "Drivers have to get their commercial driver's license from the state. Then they have three written tests—a general knowledge test, an inner brakes test and a passenger test," Arrowood said. AppalCART gave Arrowood a lengthy driving test consisting of backing and parallel parking, backing around cones, drjving around cones, and stopping. This test was followed by an hour-long driving test through Boone and up a hill. Putnam said that driving during rush hour is "pretty good." Arrowood said it's not just pretty good, it's intensive. "We have to know every­ thing on the bus, what it does and how you can fix it and how you can stop," Arrowood said. During the two-week train­ ing period, AppalCART wants their drivers to become famil­ iar with the buses, because traf­ fic in Boone can be hectic at times. Besides the extensive train­ ing, drivers are also given a DMV-issued commercial driver's license manual and a rulebook from AppalCART. Putnam and Arrowood are among a small number of AppalCART drivers. Putnam said AppalCART usually accommodates with scheduling around their respec­ tive schedules. "I work Monday and Friday from 3:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., be­ cause on Tuesday and Thursday, I don't have classes until late, so I have time to do my homework. But, if you want to change hours, you just write them a note. They're very good about that," Putnam said. Arrowood works part of the day on Monday through Thurs­ day and all day Friday. Both have a lot to say about the amount of business on Fridays. "Don't get mad at the driv­ ers. It's not our fault. Everybody seems to think that we're late on purpose, but some drivers are slower than others. Another thing is construction. I got stopped for a funeral procession once and was yelled at for the rest of the day," Arrowood said. Putnam feels that with ev­ eryone complaining about traf­ fic in Boone, people shouldn't get upset at the AppalCART, be­ cause they provide a free service to students . "Try to imagine driving a three-and-a-half ton bus all the way from Mellow Mushroom to Makoto's Steak House and guess the exact minute you're going to be there, not knowing how many times you're going to have to stop and let someone off or pick them up. It's impossible," Putnam said. Arrowood said that sometimes the unexpected happens and the drivers have no control over the delays. "It takes a lot of time if there's something wrong with the bus and you have to take it back to the AppalCART station and get a new bus out. Once, I was going up Bodenheimer Drive near App Heights, and I had to stop because the brakes were getting spongy, and it put me behind ten minutes," Arrowood said. Arrowood and Putnam both said they thought that talking to the people riding the bus was the best part of the job. They both do things to make riding the AppalCART fun. Putnam said he often has "Karaoke Night" on the bus, where passengers have to sing. Arrowood employs a similar game called "Name That Tune." Arrowood and Putnam said the worst part about driving the Matthew Putnam said that driving the AppaVCAVT is one-,' of the best jobs he's had. Often, he will have "Karaoke < J Night" on his bus (Erich AppalCART is when drunk people get on the bus during the day. Putnam said it's not just the drunk people, but a lot of things that can be annoying. "On the Night Owl, you expect (drunk passengers), but on th,e Green Route, it's bad. The most an­ noying thing is when people on the Express pull the cord more than once," Putnam said. Arrowood feels that passen­ gers will enjoy a ride on the AppalCART when he and Putnam are driving. "Just relax and know that if you see us driving, you're going to have a good time. If you see the AppalCART coming and think you have time to run out in front of it, don't, because it takes the bus ten times longer to stop than a car, and we can't stop," Arrowood said. What about when there's mounds of snow on the ground and it's difficult for cars to g£t around? £ "Ride the AppalCARTf'' Putnam said. Arrowood added, "Just forget the schedule. You Ye lucky to get the bus." When in the middle of a cok3 Boone winter (as it will get), tHb AppalCART is the way to go. J.1 Arrowood and Putnam sug­ gested a spin-off show of "COPS)' about them, called, "APPALCAF^ DRIVERS." They also expressed in­ terest in having a pin-up calendar made and naming it something like "Men of AppalCART 98-99.' r The AppalCART is a non-profit service that receives money frojn the university to transport the stu­ dents and people in Boone. It's'Ji free service for students with<h valid ASU ID. So, as the TV commercial say£ "Ride the AppalCART and leave the driving to us!" ook.Review rhe Horse Whisperer' is reinvented in Evans' newest novel, 'The Loop^ ithryn Peterson ff Writer Nicholas Evans The Loop A nearly extinct pack of 'ves has made a sudden and lent return to the small rustic 'n of Hope, Mont., home to Orations of wolf haters, in •holas Evans' (author of "The rse Whisperer") recent novel, Loop."

The battle against Luke's overopinion in Hope that the wolf is a killing machine that needs to be powering father draws Helen and Luke together and begins their se­ cret love affair. In the midst of telling the story of the people of Hope, Evans does not forget about the key figures: the wolves themselves. He de­ scribes the lives of the wolves as though they were in some way human as well. These interjected stories allow the reader to understand the na­ ture of the wolf as well as develop a connection to the animals that makes the reader really care about their fate. Evans moves around from one person's thoughts to another until the reader sees all the points of view of each character. Instead of clearly black and white issues, Evans leaves a lot of gray area. This allows the readers to make up their own minds about how to view a character or situa­ tion. "The Loop" has all the ele­ ments: action, nature, romance and suspense. It is certainly a must read for everyone.

The audience grossing a whopping knows what they're The Waterboy Regal Cinemas Judging by the amount of sell­ outs that took Regal Cinemas by storm on the opening weekend of DAVE CELLAR DOOR PRESENTS MATTHEWS in for, and "The Waterboy" did not disappoint. The basis for the movie is the standard Saturday Night Live-alum script: an hour and a half of story based around characters devel­ oped on the show. Although Bobby Boucher has not appeared on SNL, he is a cul­ mination of characters that Sandler developed while doing SNL. And be sure not to miss the gratuitous cameo by fellow SNLer Rob Schneider. At its core, The Waterboy" re­ sembles a Disney movie. It has the hero, villain and supporting cast to accompany a storyline that is laced with a humane moral. Sandler takes this base and twists and tweaks it until it is em­ blazoned in his own image. Be­ sides, Disney could never produce anything this funny. Critics nation­ wide are panning it as a flop, due to the silliness displayed by Sandler and his colleagues, but what they fail to see is that is the exact reason millions of people are going to see this film. For the five or six people who haven't seen "The Waterboy,"let me fill you in on the plot. Sandler plays Bobby Boucher, a 31-year-old waterboy who has been sheltered from society, who gets fired from his dream job of "aqua technician." Legendary Jerry Reed plays the vile coach who torments Bobby and finally sends the waterboy packing. Bobby eventually recap­ tures his dream on another team that has lost 40 straight games. Once Bobby's hidden talent is discovered, he becomes a starting linebacker. Coached by a mentally defective Henry Winkler, Bobby becomes an overnight sensation.

Mountaineers will renew rivalry for the jug Erik Stubblefield Staff Writer Saturday. Football. History. The battle for the Old Mountain Jug is on for the 23rd time. Odds say that ownership of the trophy for the Western Caro­ lina-Appalachian State football ri­ valry should again go to ASU's Mountaineers in the upcoming meeting of the N.C. mountain foot­ ball teams.

The past Then Mountaineer athletic di­ six losses to the Mountaineers have Apps destroy King College, 80-40 Mike Daniels Editor-in-Chief With a minute and a half to play and his team down by 38 points, 76-38, King College point guard Howard Graves was desper­ ate. The Maniacs in the ASU crowd were on their feet, jingling their keys as a sign to get the bus ready. The rest of the fans were headed for the doors, while most of the players on the bench were getting ready to head for the show­ ers. Graves dribbled the ball down the court as offense set up, guards and forwards alike looking for the three-point shot. Of course, he knew three points would not be enough to get the Tornadoes out of this one. Not this time. So Graves looked up into dusty rafters of Varsity Gymnasium hoping beyond hope for something that could save his team; the 25point basket. But alas, Graves' dream was not to be. This was not the MTV Rock n' Jock version of basketball that he had watched as a poor sub­ stitute for the NBA a few nights ago, and there was no 25-point basket hanging high above the crowd in the Palace of Boone Hills. So poor Graves and the Divi­ sion II, NAIA Tornadoes of King College were blown back across the mountains to Bristol, Tenn., from a game in which ASU and its whirlwind offense were able to put 50 points on the board in the sec­ ond half and come away with an easy 80-40 victory. been exceptionally difficult for the Catamounts, with ASU being na­ tionally ranked and competing for the Southern Conference Champi­ onship each of those years. The Jug began its history in 1976 to celebrate the 40th meet­ ing of the two teams. The creation of the jug is credited to the two schools' Sports Information Offices and student government presi­ dents. Now on display in the football offices in Owens Field House, the jug displays both schools' mascots, gloriously painted by Dee Triplett. Triplett's name may be familiar to those in the Boone area, as Much like the Tar Heels last Friday against Appalachian, the Mountaineers did not really put this game away until the second frame. At one point, with just 3:30 left to go in the half, the Moun­ taineers led by just six points. However, the team did come back enough to take a 30-16 lead into the locker room. Coach Buzz Peterson said that part of the problem for the Moun­ taineers offensively was their in­ ability to get points out of fast breaks and steals. "We've got to get better at con­ verting on transition buckets," said Peterson. ASU was able to hit enough of their transition baskets to go on a 24-2 run over a seven-minute pe­ riod in the second half, which put the game completely out of reach for King and sealed the Mountain­ eers' first win of the season. The key to the win was de­ fense. The Tornadoes shot just 36 percent from the field and 28 per­ cent from behind the three-point arc. "When you play defense, you win," said Appalachian's Marshall Phillips, who, along with point guard Tyson Patterson, led the team in scoring with 11 points. Phillips, who was all-confer­ ence last year as a power forward, is adjusting to life on the outside, as he now plays the small forward position in Peterson's new-look offense that features seven-footer Josh Grover at center and 6'5" jun­ ior college transfer Cedrick Holmes at power forward. See Basketball on page 9 Watauga High School's newly com­ pleted track complex has been dedicated and named in her honor. Triplett was a long-time el­ ementary school teacher in the community. She was made a part of the Appalachian family by her husband, Roby Triplett, who man­ aged the bookstore for Appala­ chian. Game time is slated for noon in Cullowhee. With the Jug series standing at 17-5 in Appalachian's favor, and the exceptional season being experienced by this year's football squad, it doesn't look like defeating the Mountaineers will be an easy task for the Catamounts. % II Cedrick Holmes going up for a dunk against the Tornadoes (Nick Greenvvay/Staff).

She the ability to get 25 or more offen­ sive rebounds per game," she said. Defensively, ASU also domi­ nated. Radford only had one player in double figures, Jennifer Grant, who had 12 points for the game. Appalachian still has a lot of work to do. "We look at our sea­ son in segments, and turnovers will definitely be a focus," said Breedlove. ASU committed 12 turn­ overs in the first half, and finished the game with 24. "That number is too high, and we have got to get it down below 20 soon," Breedlove said. Breedlove was quick to point out the play of her point guard, Karma Edwards. "It's nice to see your point guard play 23 minutes and not have a turnover," she said. Appalachian kept to their game plan of playing an up-tempo style and using a lot of players. ASU played all 12 players, and nine of them played for 15 minutes or more. "It's nice to be able to sub freely," Breedlove said. "Our play­ ers must give us solid minutes," she added. The play of the bench was a key factor in their 21-point vic­ tory over Radford, as the Highland­ ers ran out of gas in the second half. "That was a really big factor for us," Breedlove said. "We made them play our style." Sherman Walters Staff Writer Varsity Gym is set to host the 1998 Southern Conference volley­ ball championship this weekend. The 1998 tournament will show­ case the best eight out of ten teams from the Southern Confer­ ence. Appalachian State is one of six teams that have a legitimate chance of winning the conference championship this year and re­ ceiving a bid to the field of 64 teams in the NCAA tournament. Where do the Mountaineers stand in the mix? Appalachian (99) comes into the tournament as the #5 seed following one of the most challenging schedules in the conference. They started their conference season with an unde­ feated 5-0 record, finishing the month of September in first place. October proved to be a dif­ ferent story, though. The Moun­ taineers embarked on a long jour­ ney of road games that stretched almost entirely through the month, leaving both the team and the coaches in a Dorothy-like trance (there's no place like home, there's no place like home). "Both the coaches and the players were exhausted from our unusual road schedule," ASU Coach Dave Markland said. They finally returned home at the end of the season for a three-game stretch, only to find themselves facing two of the toughest teams in the conference, Chattanooga and Western Caro­ lina. When all was said and done, the Mountaineers found them* selves in a six-game skid, facing bottom-feeder East Tennessee State in their final regular season game. East Tennessee State should have been a Sunday stroll for the Mountaineers, but they defeated the Mountaineers, 3J-1, to secure a spot as the eighth sefcd in this weekend's festivities. The Chattanooga Mocs (153) come into the tournament las the #1 seed and the defending Southern Conference champions. They will have to defend their 1997 crown against a field ;of teams that are evenly matched. Markland said that Chattanooga has the best combination of tal­ ent and experience in the conference,but that anyone could walk away with the trophy, this Sunday. Six teams were jockeying for position right up until the last See Volleyball on page 9 �OPEN THANKSGIVING Until 2:00pm www.harristeeter.com The Best Is What We're All About!

Now 1-1, the Mountaineers will face a tough challenge this weekend when they make their longest trip of the season to play the Univer­ sity of Minnesota. The Gophers, who got into a bench-clear­ ing brawl with a national team from the Phil­ ippines in an exhibition game Monday night, may have some players suspended for their regular season opener with the Mountaineers Saturday. For ASU, the game will mark the second time in three games that the Mountaineers have played a team that was in the Final Four in recent years. North Carolina made the field last year and in 1997, while Minnesota made it into that elite round of the tournament in 1996, bowing out to eventual champion Kentucky. Peterson said the Mountaineers will be hungry to have another try at knocking off a major conference foe such as the Gophers, who play in the Big Ten. "We love to play the big teams just to see where we stand," said Phillips.

Dr. Walter Alvarez spoke to students Thursday, Nov. 12, in Farthing Auditorium, on the effects of me­ teorite impacts, in a speech titled "T. rex and the Cra­ ter of Doom." Alvarez began the speech with a brief discus­ sion as to the nature of geological studies and the battle between uniformitarianism and catastrophism. The fact that "the Atlantic Ocean between Africa and South America grew at exactly the same rate as... fingernails grow" was one of many discoveries which led to uniformitarianism dominance. Under the theory of unifor­ mitarianism, "ge­ "Scientists 'not only ology became a know (catastrophes) gradual science." Some scien­ happen, but have seen tists, Alvarez in­ them happen; fortu­ cluded, main­ tained that occa­ nately on someone sional catastro­ else's planet.'" phes do occur which dramati­ cally alter the Dr. Walter Alvarez earth. Astounding proof came when Comet Shoemaker-Levy impacted Jupiter. Now scientists "not only know [catastrophes] happen, but have seen them happen; fortunately on someone else's planet." Having assured the audience of the reality of ca­ tastrophes, Alvarez spoke at great length on the Chixculub Crater. He discussed deposits of black glass, iridium and shocked limestone, which he believes are con­ nected to the crater. Those deposits have been dated to the boundary of the Cretaceous and Tertiary Peri­ ods. That boundary also marks the time when the nosaurs, along with possibly half the genera of earth, dibecame extinct. Alvarez showed slides which gave an impression of what the im­ pact may have looked like and pointed out that any pictures with per­ ishing dinosaurs were not a photograph. As to the extinction of the dinosaurs, Alvarez expressed no sorrow, and was instead, "glad to be looking out at an audience of mammals." In addition to the Chixculub Crater, Alvarez discussed smaller im­ pact craters on the earth and theorized on the effects of impacts by larger objects. He said, the " impact of an object of [100 kilometers] would sterilize the earth [because it would] boil the oceans." The impact of a larger object, about the size of Mars, may have broken off a piece of the earth and caused the formation of the moon. Alvarez is the author of "T-Rex and the Crater of Doom" and teaches at the University of California at Berkeley. In 1977, when he started working at UC Berkeley, Alvarez began his study of mass extinction, focusing on the end of the Cretaceous period, as recorded in Italian limestones. According to Alvarez, evi­ dence from iridium measurements suggested that extinction at that time was due to a giant asteroid or comet hitting the earth, according to an ASU News Bureau press release. Earlier in his career, Alvarez worked for American Overseas Petro­ leum Limited in Holland and Libya. He developed a side interest in archeological geology and left the oil company to study Roman volca­ nic rocks and their influence on settlement patterns in early Roman times. Along with his father, Lewis Alvarez, a Nobel Laureate in Physics, he was influential in validating the theory that the Chixculub Crater on the Yucatan Penisula may be the remains of the meteorite which caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. everal departments recognized for excellent grad schools J News Bureau vr^arrnents: t^ie Department _ 0 °8y a"d the Department of Human Development and Psy­ chological Counseling (HPC).

But , we so overwhelmed that we feel comjed to threaten the lives of others? One student or group of students took iir stress one step too far and taped a writ, bomb threat to an office door in the stuit union last Thursday. This incident is disturbing in itself, but handling of the situation was also very turbing. After arriving on the scene, University ice only felt the need to remove "non-estial" people from the student union, while ny employees remained. Who is to say 0 is essential and who is not? And what [leant by "essential?" As far as anyone is concerned, this threat ild have been real. A bomb could have ied through the seams of the building. :ryone in the building should have been nediately evacuated until the scene was :med safe. Not only were employees allowed to stay, the Boone Police Department was never ied. The entire situation was determined ie a university matter. It would seem that the threat of a bomb uld affect the entire community, considlg churches and homes neighbor the stuit union by only a few hundred feet. It is also a safe guess to say that the unisity does not employ a bomb detection 1 diffusion squad. While these threats end up being false rms 99 percent of the time, it is not right take chances by allowing people to re­ in at the scene. Had there actually been a bomb, even if tdn't blown up, somebody would have a lot of guilt hanging over their head tot making sure every last soul was out lat building. Df course, the whole scenario turned out 2 some sort of a sick joke, although there little humor in it. Whoever placed this threat on the door only threatened to take the lives of oththey also interrupted a concert, students lying and working on papers and the evlay activities of the student union.

New posters were put up in the union and WASU broadcast another interview with the band. That night, both ASU's very own Haley River and Dear America put on excellent shows. Dear America had a bluesy rock 'n' roll sound that blared through­ out the Student Union, while Haley River kept to the basics of funk and rock. It rocked, so where were the students? I understand that some of us have jobs to tend to, tests to study for and other responsibilities, but these bands deserved a better audience. I admire the bands' willingness to remain here and play; it shows their passion for their craft. Both bands were there for their music, and their perfor­ mances reflected that. I just wish they both had re­ ceived an audience that reflected their amazing tal­ ent. Every now and then, take a chance and go see a band you are not familiar with. You might become a fan. Participate in an activity you know nothing about; there are plenty of learning experiences that do not involve textbooks. Too often, even in college, we remain in our own personal comfort zone. We get so used to that one section of the menu that we never stray from it. There are those that say there is nothing to do in Boone, but that is so untrue. There is plenty to do. Both on campus and off, there are plenty of activities to check out. Do not let a lack of familiarity keep you from growing and experiencing all the area has to offer.

I don't believe we can ever remove all the preju­ dice from the Ku Klux Klan, B-GLAD, the NAACR the NCAA, FFA, SGA or anyone else stuck in between. Maybe, instead, we could remove some of the hypocrisy. Before you attack someone for his or her prejudices, investigate your own.

ASU football fans who make these long road trips say they all have the same motivation—sup­ porting the team. "The more support they get, the better they play. Whether they're winning or they're losing, we'll be there," Sowell said. The Aliens and the Sowells both agree that the support of fans plays a tremendous role in the way the football team plays. Sowell said the players talk about how it would be a huge boost for them if fans would pack the stadium at home games. "Fans help tremendously. I would love to see a big turnout, especially with the students at ASU for home games," Sowell said. At Saturday's game, only arounu d,uoo showeu up in a stadium that looked to seat 20,000.

Another thing you realize is how similar they all were—long hair, make-up, wild guitars, fire­ works—it was difficult to tell one band from the next, if their name was not in neon lights. One band seemed to be a carbon copy of the next. Fortunately, the bands that maintained their individuality, that refused to be pigeonholed, were the bands that survived the '80s. Such is the case with U2. Perhaps it was the political, emotional and spiritual elements Bono brought to their songs or the distinct sound The Edge brought with his guitar. Even the bass lines provided by Adam Clayton and the drum­ ming of Larry Mullen, Jr. help dis­ tinguish a U2 song from that of any other. No need for makeup or fire­ works here. Recently, Island Records re­ leased the limited-edition, doublealbum, "U2: The Best of 19801990." The first CD highlights all of U2's most notable songs of the '80s, from the "Boy" album to "Rattle and Hum." While this is an excellent collection of songs, the real gem is the second CD, which features all of the b-sides the Irish band did in the '80s. The first CD contains all the hits U2 is well known for, and it ** *** awful not good average **** very g00Cj ***** classic also shows the band's versatility. It has "Sunday Bloody Sunday," an­ thems such as "Pride (In the Name of Love)," spirited songs like "Where the Streets Have No Name," and their American-influ­ enced song, "Angel of Harlem." One of my personal favorites is their collaboration with B.B. King, "When Love Comes to Town." It is a perfect blend of blues with U2's brand of rock, and B.B. King did not seem the least bit out of place in the mix. U2's current single, "The Sweetest Thing," is also included on the first disc. It may sound odd that this song is included on an al­ bum that chronicles U2's '80s hits, but "The Sweetest Tning" was originally written for the album sessions for "The Joshua Tree" al­ bum. Bono (a.k.a. Paul Hewson) had written the love song for his wife, Ali, because he did not make it home for her birthday. Unfortu­ nately, the song was not completed in time to make the cut for the al­ bum and was later released as a single b-side. The second CD contains the various b-sides only previously available on the various U2 singles released throughout the '80s. It has covers of "Unchained Melody" and "Everlasting Love," along with U2 originals like "Spanish Eyes" and "A Room at the Heartbreak Ho­ tel." Also included is an instrumen­ tal piece called "Bass Trap," Bono's contribution to Artists Against Apartheid, "Silver and Gold," and the original b-side version of "The Sweetest Thing." "Silver and Gold" is another example of the band's political ac­ tivism, a result of Bono's involve­ ment with Amnesty International and Artists Against Apartheid. "Bass Trap" is an ambient-sound­ ing blend of guitar, synthesizer, drums and bass. The second disc also shows more of U2's willingness to experi­ ment with new musical ideas. On the covers, U2 puts their own spin on the classics, bringing their per­ spective to the songs. This 29-song compilation is an excellent representation of the early years of U2. From songs about struggles in their homeland to the musical landscapes of America, it captures the essence of the band's unique sound perfectly. If you have enjoyed U2's mu­ sic in the past, but have yet to col­ lect any of their albums, this col­ lection is an excellent place to start. �m Pag. 6 The Appalachian Blanked S PO R.TS 'win. ing. poir Justin Griffin Sports Editor The shutout was the second was ready to have a big game.

At the half, the Tar Heels had clawed their way to an 11-point, 4231 lead, behind • Haywood's 17 points. In the second half, the Mountaineers came out strong, cut­ ting the Carolina lead to seven points, before the Tar Heels pulled away again after a TV time-out at the 15:39 mark. Over the next seven and a half min­ utes, UNC turned a precarious seven-point lead into a very secure 20-point lead. Appalachian Forme r UNC and Buzz Peterson coach Dean Smith would get no closer on ha id to watch the game (Marvin Evans) ' than 17 points for the rest of the game, as Carolina cruised to victory. Despite the loss, there were several bright spots in the game. Phillips, who actually shattered one of Carolina's backboards at the Dean Dome the day be­ fore during practice, had a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds. Phillips also had three steals in the game. Peterson joked afterward that one of the reasons the Mountaineers lost was be­ cause ot tne nan nour or practice time the team lost while workers at the Smith Cen­ ter cleaned up and replaced the broken backboard. Patterson, who chalked up 13 points, was impressive on defense, guarding AllACC second-teamer Ed Cota. Despite al­ lowing Cota to score 17 points, Patterson did a good job of keeping Cota out of the lane and from cutting inside for baskets. "He's a real good point guard. I did okay against him, but I feel whoever's team wins, that point guard did the best job," said Patterson. Other top performers for the Moun­ taineers were McMahon, who went 4-7 from behind the three-point arc and scored 14 points; and newcomers Holmes, Shawn Alexander and Buddy Davis, who all looked strong in their Mountaineer de­ buts. In fact, second-year Tar Heel Coach Bill Guthridge was impressed with several elements of the Mountaineers' game. "Early in the game, they got the ball low in the post, and I think that hurt us in the first half. They have some good athletes on their team," said Guthridge. Peterson, the 1986 UNC alum and former roommate of Michael Jordan, said his team may have been a little jittery be­ cause they were playing in front of such a large audience. Among the 20,257 people in atten­ dance were former Tar Heels and current or past NBA stars Rasheed Wallace, Jerry Stackhouse, Antawn Jamison, Vince Carter, Bobby Jones, Dave Cowens and Brad Daugherty, who was the color com­ mentator for Fox Sports South, which tele­ vised the game. Also in attendance was former Tar Heel Coach Dean Smith, who participated in the halftime ceremonies, in which the jerseys of Wallace and Stackhouse were placed in the rafters. It was under Smith that roommates Peterson and Jordan played as freshmen on the 1982 national championship team, while Guthridge was assistant coach. Jordan, who was in Chapel Hill Thursday night to meet with Peterson, Guthridge and others at UNC, was attendance at the game.

He started a film titled, "She's Gotta Have It." "People think there is such an animal called overnight success. It does not exist," Lee said. Lee said that he put "every penny" he had into "She's Gotta Have It." The film cost $175,000 to produce, and it grossed $8.5 million in theaters. He then de­ cided he could be more ambitious now that he had the money. "The richness of AfricanAmerican culture was not reflected in the films...it was important to put that stuff on screen. To me, that meant truthful depictions," he said. Lee feels that he began to make those depictions come alive in films he directed such as "Jungle Fever" and "He Got Game." Lee concluded by stressing the importance of deciding what one wants to do as soon as possible. "Find out what you want to do and apply yourself; it is much more competitive out there," he said. For approximately 30 minutes, Lee fielded audience questions. However, he prefaced the session by requcMing tnai uiey not asx "how to stop racism, homclessness or to save the rain forest." "Because I do not know," he said. Audience members posed questions such as specific inquir­ ies about Lee's films and his opin­ ion of the American Film Institute's recent ratings of films. Farthing Auditorium holds 1,736 people. Those not able to be seated inside could listen to the speech in the Farthing lobby or from a live feed in the Attic Win­ dow Room in Plemmons Student Union. A representative from Farthing Auditorium said that around 6 p.m. Monday, approximately 50 people had lined up for the 8 p.m. speech. Around 7:45 p.m. was when spectators were turned away because of the firecode law. Visiting Appalachian for Lee's speech were spectators from Mars Hill College, UNC-Asheville, East­ ern Tennessee State University, Wilkes Community College, Caldwell Community College and others from the western end of North Carolina. >tudent fees to increase five percent next fiscal year pn Owens ment, $12 will go towards paying back the Department of Academic Affairs. fo Tfiesday night, Vice ChanThe remaining $5 will go to­ r for Student Development Dr. wards raises for the athletics staff J°ry Blimling presented the and other athletics expenditures. osed student tuition and fees The remainder of the $34 in­ tie 1999-2000 school year to crease will be split between health Jtudent Government Associa­ services, educational and recre­ ational programs, and will go to te proposal calls for an in- the upkeep of the Plemmons Stu­ e of $184 in fees for each stu- dent Union.

First we had Elie Wiesel for eonvocapn, which packed Varsity Gym. ' Monday night, we were fortunate nough to hear one of the most influential |m-makers of our time...those of us who ,uld actually get into Farthing Auditorium, iat is. Film-maker Spike Lee addressed specta,rs in the auditorium and on closed-circuit le'vision in the student union. What is sad. jwever, is the number of students that were irned away at the door at Farthing. Part of the reasoning behind turning tectators away stemmed from the high atndance of people from outside the Appachian community. Students from surroundg colleges and high schools were able to •e Lee, while several of our students could )t. A half hour before the speech the audirium was basically full and at 7:45 attenints began turning people away. Some of those who were left out in the Id did not get to see the speech at all while hers who thought they'd get just as good a show went to watch Lee on television in e student union. Unfortunately the closed cuit feed did not come in right away so ley missed a portion of Lee's speech. I Those of us who did mange to squeeze lough the doors of Farthing were a little jt embarrassed to be ASU students that cning. Some of the questions that our Iprs chose to ask were not only superficial id juvenile but a waste of everyone's time. | Questions such as "What was your faI rite film, and why" and another that criti­ cs Lee for the ending of his recent film Got Game" rose from the audience, ke useless questions hardly warranted than the semi-sarcastic answers that provided. So while it was sad that some students, fey and other staff from ASU did not get fee Lee's speech, it might actually have ii for the best. Had they been in Farthing r, would have had to endure the pain of fehing Lee sarcastically respond to some lie stupid questions posed by a few mindASU students.

And we all know that attempting to pass their test. Condescending, unavail­ groveling over points doesn't help. The test wasn't able, and ANAL may also come to mind. This type, fair, most of the students failed it; there was more than one correct answer; the chances that these pleas will affect your professor's decision are slim to none. I heard someone say that grades may not neces­ sarily reflect what you know, but they reflect your discipline in the course. That confuses me. So, is it discipline that I need to get a good job or the subject matter from my classes? Is our grade point average really a discipline point average? Well, I think it depends on which professor you talk to. Sometimes even your discipline doesn't reflect your grade. It seems to me that if it is obvious to a professor that certain students attend all classes, put ample time into the subject and come away with a clear and developed understanding of it, that should help them if their grade is low. I think it's probably a mix of discipline and knowl­ edge in a course that counts in the end, but this combo still doesn't always result in an A or B. So if you start to lose it near the crunch of exam time and passing seems impossible, you could always resort to butt kissing or cheating. But you should know that these result mostly in bad breath and a super guilty conscience. Otherwise, hang in there.

Their programs emphasize : social, physical, intellectual, jpational, spiritual and emoal aspects are all essential in lining a high level of wellness. The Wellness Center chooses am of students each semester >tas Peer Educators. The team iks off individually to speak to ips on campus about various cs of concern. The subjects of the presentas include alcohol, drugs, safe stress management, nutrition, !ss and persona] safety. Through the years, peer eduin has been proven to work, use the information is coming students who are the same md dealing with the same isas those they are educating, rhe team is made up of 13 Wellness Peer Educators, two cocoordinators of the Wellness Cen­ ter, Peer Educators Kim Rendon and Christy Parker, the counselor for substance abuse Dale Kirkley and the Wellness Center coordina­ tor Kit Olson. The Peer Educators include Anne Roth, Tricia Foreman, An­ drea Howze, Sarah McNeely Michael Ackerman, Rebecca Goza' Kelly Steele, Randy Carlile, Susan Rmgo, Jackie Kelly, Cary Harris, Robin Williamson and Tiffanv y Fant. Co-coordinator Kim Rendon said each Peer Educator will usu­ ally present six to eight programs throughout a semester. She said, overall, they present three pro­ grams a week. The group meets each week to discuss and prepare for upcoming programs. They practice ice-break­ ers which will be used during their presentations. Making the students comfort­ able is an important aspect of their presentations, because open dis­ cussion is a main part of the pro­ cess. Most programs held by the Wellness Center are for residence halls and classes such as Freshman Seminar. However, anyone on campus can contact the Wellness Center and schedule a Peer Edu­ cator to speak to a group of stu­ dents. Peer Educator Michael Ackerman feels students would ben­ efit from their presentations. "I think it is a valuable program, and 1 wish more people would get involved," said Ackerman. Peer Educator Robin Williamson said their job is to share information with students on cam­ pus, but at the same time, they are learning a great deal about them­ selves. "1 really enjoy being a Peer Edu­ cator. I am not only teaching my peers, but myself, as well," said Williamson. Ackerman presents many pro­ grams on safe sex. He says he likes the programs to be 90 percent disscusion, so he often begins with ice-breakers. One of the ice-breakers he uses is the placing of a condom onto a fake penis while porno music plays in the background. He tries to loosen up the group, because the subject of sex often creates tension and silence. The Wellness Center is starting to recruit Peer Educators for the spring semester. They are looking for under­ graduate students from all majors, but strongly encourage students majoring in areas concerning such issues as health promotions, educa­ tion and psychology to apply.

February 1993 saw America taste terrorism from the inside. The World Trade Center Bombing opened America's eyes to what countries all over the world have been experiencing for some time. It also spurned our government to create new anti-terrorist statutes that were rushed through Congress, and in 1997, contingency exercises were created for every major city in America. Starring Academy Award win­ ner Denzel Washington, Annette Bening and Bruce Willis, "The Siege" offers a glimpse into a ter­ rorist invasion of New York. Washington plays head of the joint FBI/NYPD terrorism task force Anthony Hubbard. It's "Hub's" job to keep New York safe from continual threats rising from the city's underbelly. What begins as a routine bomb threat, unexpectedly starts a self-destructive domino effect that will change New York for­ ever. Convinced that the threat has been dissolved, the FBI be­ gin tying up the case. Little did they know that it was just the be­ ginning. Bening enters the fray as CIA operative Elise Kraft, bent on un­ dermining the FBI and resolving the threat by whatever means necessary. Kraft's past delvings in foreign policy give her the dis­ tinct advantage of having an un­ derstanding of the terrorists and important sources in the ArabAmerican community. These same sources become prime suspects in the attacks and cloud Kraft's intentions. Hub and Kraft have to put aside their differences and form an uneasy alliance to have any chance of restoring order and put­ ting an end to the terrorist attacks. Just as they appear to be mak­ ing headway, the US government institutes marshal law over New York and appoints General William Devereaux (Bruce Willis) in charge during the State of Emergency. Reminiscent of the treatment awful not good *** average **** very good classic received by Japanese-Americans during World War II, the Arab com­ munity is rounded up like cattle and moved to a secure location to prevent further terrorist outbreaks. What ensues is an assault on the Constitution for the sake of pub­ lic safety. Clocking in at just over two hours, "The Siege" is a non-stop action thriller that will suck you in and spit you out. The first sec­ tion of the movie moves with pre­ cision at the speed of light and keeps you gripped to the storyline, only to lose you with the introduc­ tion of General Devereaux. Originally, Devereaux came off as an understanding, somewhat compassionate man, fully aware of the potential danger associated with declaring a State of Emer­ gency with the military in charge. But just as soon as he's put in charge, he becomes a power hun­ gry tyrant bent on restoring the "American Way." This flip-flop halts the movie's progression and adds a formulaic struggle between Hub and Devereaux. It's not a must-see, but it is rather entertaining. Where most Hollywood films walk their way through delicate situations, "The Siege" tromps on the eggshells with both feet. It offers an interesting "whatif" scenario to the terrorist-laden action thrillers that were afraid to show how dark we can be. * * * 1/2 �Page 8 Novemb er, I STUDENT PORTRAITS 1 r J J pal.

Appalachian's defense was vastly improved last season, and Peterson expects the defense to be "pretty good" this year. The Mountaineers' major problem was with Davidson. ASU lost all three meetings against Davidson. One huge step Appala­ chian will have to make this sea­ son, if they will be able to play past the Southern Conference Tourna­ ment, is to defeat Davidson. Buzz Peterson wasn't ready to just be happy with what happened last year. ASU was a quick team that lacked bulk and size down low. This year's recruiting class will help to resolvf that problem. Cedrick Holmes, a junior col­ lege transfer, leads this year's new­ comers. The 6'6", 200-pound for­ ward averaged 18.3 points and 10.7 boards last season at Okaloosa-Walton Junior College. His size and ability will help ASU in the rebounding department. Holmes will likely be a starter for the Mountaineers this season. Shawn Alexander was named North Carolina Co-Player of the Year last season for T.C. Roberson High School in Asheville. Alexander will probably see imme­ diate action in the back court.

A couple of sophomores wrap up the new faces at Appalachian: Micah Hill and Roderick Stevenson will bring more depth to the Moun­ taineer bench. Appalachian's non-conference schedule is going to be a challenge. ASU opens the season with a trip to Coach Peterson's alma mater, North Carolina, on Friday. The Mountaineers will also visit Minnesota, East Carolina, and Georgia Tech. ASU will host two big non-conference matches against Georgia and WisconsinGreen Bay. Young women's team looking for improvement in upcoming season Chad Campbell Staff Writer tr r \?lan . wi ^ k e a ,eader for the Mountaineers this -r 'Marvin Evans). The game of basketball was in­ tended to be played a certain way. Women's Head Coach Barbie Breedlove explained, "Fans should expect us to play hard; they de­ serve that. Basketball was meant to be played that way, and that way only." With a great deal of work done in the off-season, ASLPs women's basketball team is enthusiastic about the new season. Breedlove agrees, "We had a really good off­ season, and we are very excited about the season. We expect a lot of good things." Appalachian is looking to im­ prove on an 8-8 Southern Confer­ ence record, finishing the season in sixth place. The team that is ex­ pected to do this is a unique team. "We are old women with talented young women," Breedlove said. The Lady Mountaineers are a young team; however, they are an experienced team. Appalachian only has one senior on the roster: co-captain Beth Schoolfield. ASU is returning eight letter winners from last year's team. Of those eight letter winners, four were starters, bringing valuable experi­ ence and leadership to this year's team. Appalachian returns the top five scorers from last season, led by Schoolfield, who will be looked upon to provide leadership to the young team. She not only aver­ aged 16 points, but she was also second in rebounding last season. Schoolfield will be an important factor in the team's success this year. The Lady Mountaineers will also look to the other co-captain, Noel Dolan for leadership and scoring. The Augusta, Mich., native was the team's number three scorer last year, averaging eight points per game. "I expect great things from both Beth and Noel this year. They are experienced and know our system," Breedlove said. "Noel is ready to make major con­ tributions to the success of our pro­ gram." Anbther player to watch is Tif­ fany Chappell, the second leading scorer from last year's team. Chappell begins this season healthy after battling a number of foot injuries from last season. Chappell's good health is a posi­ tive sign for Appalachian; espe­ cially since last year's team was riddled with injuries. The top five scorers bring with them 79.3 percent of last year's offense, a stat that Coach Breedlove is relying on. ."This nucleus of returning players will be refed upon to provide leader­ ship as well as scoring and de­ fense," she said. Sophomore post players Jamie Gagliano and Natasha Lettsome will also bring valuable experience to this year's team, and are ex­ pected to rise to the occasion. Jun­ ior Eva Hegerova and sophomore Sharonda Green both had an out­ standing off-season, and will be asked to contribute this year. Laura Edwards, a Salisbury native, also brings experience to the Mountain­ eers and will provide solid and constant play for ASU in the backcourt. Coach Breedlove is excited about another group of players. "Our freshman class has the poten­ tial to be outstanding," Breedlove said. "They have all the physical tools necessary to become fine players." The freshman class is led by Karma Edwards, who redshirted last season with a knee injury. "Karma is athletic, smart, and is a competitor," Breedlove said. She believes that this year's freshman class is one of the best that have come to ASU. As a re­ sult, they will be asked to contrib­ ute ftnmediately. "They give us valuable minutes, athleticism, and depth. We are counting on them contributing," she said. As a result of the tale.nted freshman class, Appalachian will play a more exciting form of bas­ ketball. "We will play an up-tempo, full-court man, and run the ball," said Breedlove. "We will be in at­ tack mode." Post players Lucia Borcinova and Teresa Richardson will provide ASU with much needed height in the post. Guards Lauren Romano and Tiffany Cole will also see a lot of action this year. Resting on last year's laurels won't be enough for Breedlove. We are going to be more competi­ tive this year. This year, an eight and eight record just won't be good enough." 4 �Novemb, er 12 Page 10 e ^i ;SWW!*j igr £223 Vour Neighborhood Food Market Dont forget tb g«tyou* coupon Novci VISA i www.harristeeter.com The Best Is What We're All About California Crown Red Crimson February 28 1998 4 nights aboard Cape Canaveral Cruise Line's SS Dolphin departing from Port Canaveral, Florida rence fme ^ ich 0 roome AS I tarklan icean • |e this ; The even of jme, ti jiire r ' line, "1 i jachinj ir leng fcrklan F Cort pm vva jce.

ASU Head Coach Dave rkland said, "We have had to : an unusual and tough schedthis year." The Mountaineers played :n of their first eight games at ae, then went for almost an ire month without a home ie. "Both the players and the :hing staff are exhausted from lengthy road schedule," said kland. Coming out of September, the n was first place in the confer:. Now, after a month on the 1, they have dropped to fifth. After their long stretch of road es, they returned home on Frinight to face Tennessee-Chatoga, the first-place team in the ference. "Chattanooga has got best combination of talent and erience of all the teams in the ference," Markland said. Chatjoga defeated the Apps, showwhy they are at the top of the ference standings right now. On Monday, the Mountaineers another chance at redemption n they faced Western Carolina, i is tied with Davidson at seein the conference. Western made the game a k and painless experience for Mountaineers, taking them in m three straight sets. With the loss, the Mountain­ eers are fifth in the conference for the regular season, only one game behind Furman. However, if the tournament were to start today, with ASU and Furman tied, Furman would get the higher seed due to their win over Appalachian earlier this season. Furman came out of Septem­ ber dead last in the conference, as opposed to Appalachian's first place start. The Paladins have gradually worked their way up the rankings after starting their season almost completely on the road. "Furman got the other end of this schedule," said Markland. "We got the worst of it at the end of our season, and they got theirs at the beginning of the season." The Mountaineers are finding themselves examining every part of their game, trying to identify their weaknesses and looking for the solution. They are capable of compet­ ing with any team in the confer­ ence, and tonight is the last oppor­ tunity to find those ingredients that have been missing for the past six games. The Mountaineers travel to Johnson City to face an East Ten­ nessee State team that is on the verge of making it into the South­ ern Conference tournament next weekend. "Everything is in their fa­ vor," said Markland. "We have the better team, but it's senior night for them, and they just beat Radford, one of the Big South's best teams." ETSU may have some momen­ tum going into tonight's game, and they may play their best game of the season. However, the Moun­ taineers may have a lot more riding on this game. Page 11 Spikers finish up will season tonight at Improvement 1998 season was one of leaps and bounds for Appalachian mens soccer Sherman Walters Staff Writer With much improvement, the Appalachian men's soccer team wrapped their season up this past weekend at Davidson College in the Southern Confer­ ence tournament. The 1998 men's soccer sea­ son was a complete turnaround from the previous two seasons. This year, Kostecky led the Mountaineers to a 13-8 winning season. The 13 wins are more than the Mountaineers had in both 1996 and 1997 combined, mak­ ing Kostecky the winningest first year head coach in ASLTs history. The Mountaineers had shut out Georgia Southern in the first round of the tournament only to face a strong Furman team that had been responsible for hand­ ing them their worst loss of the year only a few weeks earlier. In that match-up, Furman shut the Mountaineers out in a 6-1 victory. However, the tournament game proved to be a more even match-up than the previous one. Appalachian struck first, and the two teams went into halftime tied with one goal each. But early in the second half, Furman scored two goals within a minute to take a 3-1 lead. Five minutes later, the Mountaineers answered back with a goal and continued to threaten Furman late in the game with a series of close shots, but Furman held on for the vic­ tory.

One comes from Ireland and another from England. The Wild­ cats also welcome 72" Martin Ides from East Burke High School. Their non-conference sched­ ule is one of the toughest in the conference. The Wildcats are slated to meet ACC foes Duke and Wake Forest. They will also face the likes of Nebraska, UNC-Charlotte and Massachusetts. The sea­ son opener against Duke will take place at the Charlotte Coliseum on Nov. 17. The Virginia Military Institute looks to better its third-place fin­ ish in the North from last year. The Keydets lead the lower half of the Division and will have tough times against Davidson and ASU. VMI runs an up-tempo style of offense. The Keydets led the league in scoring, three-pointers and steals last season. VMI's mark of 14-13 and 8-7 in the conference last year may be a goal for this year's team. The Keydets return three starters. Their non-conference sched­ ule includes trips to Penn State, UNC-Charlotte and Virginia. VMI will also host Wake Forest this sea­ son. The Keydets open their sea­ son against Elon this Saturday. East Tennessee state will fin­ ish like they did last season: in fourth place. The Buccaneers re­ turn four starters and will be more competitive this season. ETSU's biggest asset is senior Greg Stephens, who returns his 17.2 points per game and teamhigh 133 assists. The Bucs are a dangerous team in the North, but won't be able to keep up with the likes of ASU and Davidson. ETSU has thi^ LUUgll I1W11conference matches against Vii ginia Tech, Clemson, Wake Forest and Michigan State. UNC-Greensboro looks to im­ prove on last season's debut in the conference. They did surprise some people in the tournament by upsetting Western Carolina and falling to Chattanooga by a single point. The Spartans (9-19, 6-9) won't be a pushover this time around, despite losing three start­ ers. UNC-G will go outside of the conference this season against Ne­ braska, Tennessee, #1 Duke and Wake Forest. Western Carolina will be a league of their own this season. The Catamounts only return one senior and also lost their entire coaching staff with the exception of Phil Hopkins. But after this sea­ son, Hopkins thinks even that might change. "If I don't beat ASU, I might not be back," said Hopkins. The chance of lowly Western knocking off Appalachian is small this season. If you see the Cata- Furman went on to lose the championship game the next day to UNC-Greensboro, the 1998 Southern Conference champi­ ons. Kostecky says he is pleased with how the Mountaineers have performed in his first year at ASU. The Mountaineers have faced a number of very tough op­ ponents this season. They came up short against Carolina, but toppled other quality teams such as Kentucky, Radford, Davidson and Winthrop. "The Kentucky game was a good win for us," said Kostecky. "And Radford and Winthrop turned out to be the best teams in the Big South conference." mounts on paper, you'd better re­ cycle that paper, because that's all it will be worth. Western Carolina will not have any trouble losing at least 20 games this season. The baby of the confereni • may be a spoiled brat. The College of Charleston has made two trips The beginning of this year's season will go in ASUs record books. The Mountaineers began the season with a 7-1 record, tying the record for the best start to a season in school history that was set by the Apps back in 1980. The Mountaineers found a true home field advantage at Kidd-Brewer Stadium this year, where their only loss came at the hands of Georgia Southern in the last game of the season. Revenge came only a week later, when the Mountaineers removed Georgia Southern from the conference tournament. It was also a season to be re­ membered for exciting finishes and individual performances. Freshman Jordy Broder scored 10 game-winning goals for the Apps and had his first collegiate hat trick against Davidson, scoring three of Appalachian's four goals in the contest. Senior Mark Hemphill, who has led the team in scoring for the past two seasons, scored the winning goal that gave the Mountaineers their one-goal vic­ tory over nationally ranked Ken­ tucky, and was named to the allconference team. Robert Black, a senior backup goalie, recorded his first ever shutout against Georgia Southern in the important first round of the Southern Confer­ ence tournament. Coach Kostecky said, "We went to Georgia Southern shorthanded, and Robert was one of those that stepped up, and he shut them out." The 1998 squad loses a num ber of quality players to gradua­ tion this year. Hemphill, the team's leading scorer, as well as Eric Gibney, Robert Black, and Jeremy Marsh will be leaving the team. "Each of them have played an important role in turning the program around," Kostecky said. Kostecky says the coaching staff is recruiting a lot of great athletes for next season, and they are adding even tougher teams to the schedule. The Mountaineers will be visiting ACC powerhouses Vir­ ginia and Clemson next season, and look for Clemson to be visit­ ing Boone in the 2000 season. to the NCAA Tournament in a row The Cougars have excellent odd: of taking the depleted South Divi sion.

"We are new as a unit, but are not young," said Head Coach Lynne Agee. The Spartans lost four starters, but are return­ ing eight players. The biggest loss is that of Rebecca Viverette, who averaged 15 points and six re­ bounds per game. "The loss of Rebecca is major, because she was so versatile," Agee said. UNC-G also has some key players returning who will provide leadership to a team that is new as a unit. One of those players will be Melinda Goodson, who aver­ aged 13 points and seven rebounds last season. The biggest challenge for the Spartans this year will be team chemistry. "If we finish fourth or better, then we did a good job," Agee said. Furman, picked fifth, returns seven players, and two were start­ ers from last year's 11-5 team. Jackie Smith, a candidate for player of the year, returns and brings with her a 19-point, 10-rebound average. Smith will be ex­ pected to again carry the team, as point guard Haley Cook, with her .396 three-point average, gradu­ ated. Head Coach Sherry Carter is not happy with how things are looking so far in the pre-season. "We are not quick, deep, or tall. I find myself teaching more than coaching at this point," she said. The Lady Paladins don't have much time to learn, as they open the season against rival Clemson. Picked sixth this year is Appa­ lachian State, who gratefully ac­ cepts the pick and will look to sur­ prise a lot of teams this year. Head Coach Barbie Breedlove said, "That's a great position to be in." The Lady Mountaineers will be looking to improve on last year's eight and eight record. "We will be more competitive. Sixth place won't be good enough for this team," she said. Chattanooga is picked seventh, but returns eight players, four of whom started. Last year, Chatta­ nooga had a disappointing 3-13 record. The bright spot for the Lady Mocs is the addition of Coach Wes Moore. Moore has had coaching ex­ perience at Francis Marion Univer­ sity, Maryville College, and North Carolina State. His overall coach­ ing record is 200-56 for nine sea­ sons. An interesting team to watch will be Wofford, picked eighth. Last year, the Lady Terriers only won one game in the Southern Confer­ ence, but it was against Georgia Southern, the regular season champs. Wofford lost several close games last year and gained valu­ able experience as a result. "You must crawl before you walk, and this year we will walk before the year is over," said Head Coach David Graves. Graves enters his third season with the Lady Terri- V ers and expects his team to com­ pete in every game. He believes that his team will improve every day and will try to get in the top of the conference. The only thing that remains consistent for Western Carolina is change. The Catamounts received yet another unexpected coaching change to begin the season, the fourth change in ten seasons. Jill Dunn takes over as the new coach, hoping to improve on last year's 4-12 record. Western is returning seven players and three starters. April Fleck will be expected to lead the scoring attack, as she averaged 13 points last year. College of Charleston is the new team on the block. They join the Southern Conference after leaving the Trans America Confer­ ence. They are returning 11 play­ ers, and all five starters. Missy Peterson, who averaged 15 points per game, leads them. The Cou­ gars did not lose anyone, and as a result, are an experienced team that may sneak up on a fe*v teams. �Page 12 Novemb «mH eri [er few | > AS; to i; Next Thursday The Appalachian will be producing a special tabloid newspaper dedicated to Appalachian football to commemerate the Mountaineers' successful 1998 season.

The history behind college football's divisional split Rob Holliday Staff Writer It was the fall of 1978. In September, President Jimmy Carter brought Anwar alSadat of Egypt and Menahem Be­ gin of Israel together at Camp David to sign a peace agreement. In one of the greatest tragedies of all time, mem­ bers of The People's Temple took their fyj ^3 own lives at a compound called Jonestown in Guyana. In a lesser-known event, one which took place in December of 1978, the world of college football was changed forever. At a contest in Wichita Falls, Texas, Florida A8cM outlasted the University of Massachusetts, 35-28, to gain pos­ session of the first-ever NCAA Di­ vision I-AA football crown. Although the first title game was played in 1978, Division I-AA football as it is known today did not come into being until 1981. Prior to 1981, the NCAA did not have any criteria separating its member schools within the Divi­ sion I ranks. If a university participated in I-AA football, as Florida A8cM and UMass did in 1978, it was by its own accord, not because of an NCAA requirement. The option transformed into a requirement when the NCAA con­ vened on Dec. 3-4,1981, and for­ mulated a policy outlining neces­ sary criteria for a football program to be considered I-A. Those pro­ grams which did not meet the cri­ teria were classified as I-AA. Stadium size, game atten­ dance figures and financial aid, which help discriminate between I-A and I-AA football programs to­ day, were just a few of the criteria handed down by the NCAA. Since Appalachian's football program, along with those from all the other Southern Conference schools, did not meet the require­ ments necessary for I-A football classification, it was re-classified as a I-AA program. The Apps, and the rest of the conference, played its inaugural I-AA season in the fall of 1982. The Southern Conference got off to a bang in I-AA football, with two member institutions, Western Carolina and Furman, qualifying for post-season play just one year later in 1983. Appalachian made its first I-AA post­ season appearance in 1986 when *the Mountaineers fell to Nicholls • State, 28-26. The NCAA's reasoning behind the separation of Division I football spans in many directions. Popular opinion holds that one of the major factors associated with the football split was the de­ cision by the NCAA to allow its member schools to make their own television arrangements. Before 1981, the NCAA regu­ lated college football appearances on television, with each confer­ ence, regardless of its size or the sizes of its member schools, being guaranteed a regionally televised contest. Once the universities were given power to make their own television appearance arrange­ ments, competition between them for network appearances became stiff. To many smaller conferences, ones which did not have the size and wealth to outbid the larger schools for television time, the NCAA's decision to allow its mem­ ber colleges to determine their own television appearances was damaging. To the Southern Conference, which before 1981 was guaranteed a network televised game each sea­ son, the new policy meant a $500,000 loss, said Appalachian Athletics Director Roachel Laney. This laissez faire television ar­ rangement policy helped forge the gap between Division I schools, making a split necessary. The schools with large football programs, a broad base of fan sup­ port and a deep pocketbook were able to make television arrangements which would likely help News& Sports - 262-6233 them to sustain and even expand their already well-developed foot­ ball programs. Meeting the stadium, atten­ dance, financial aid and numerous other Division I criteria, especially when television revenues were in­ cluded in the picture, was not a problem for these schools. For the smaller schools, those which did not have the resources to land profitable television con­ tracts, keeping up with the big boys was virtually impossible. Since such a gap was forged between the schools with the means to gain television access and those without them, the NCAA split Division I football into two categories. Many things have changed in the past 20 years. The two-round, four-team I-AA tournament in 1978 has grown into a four-round, 16-team affair. This year's version of the I-AA post-season, one in which Appala­ chian is likely to be included, gets underway Nov. 28. Update on cancelled history classes Updating a story that ran in the Oct. 29 edition of The Appalachian, ASU student Michael Ackerman has informed The Appalachian that upper level history classes dropped to make room for additional sections of World Civilizations were cancelled in mid-June and not in July. Also, students scheduled to take the classes were informed of the cancellations after Ackerman only contacted the department about the matter near the end of July. ASU has no policy regarding class cancellations and how students are informed of them. The Appalachian regrets omitting the infcrrr.Lticr :the original story.

This week, due to lagging ticket sales and [he possibility that A.RRS. would lose thou­ sands of dollars on the show, the university decided to pick up the tab of more than (10,000 for the Jeff Dunham show tonight st Farthing Auditorium. A show that was going to cost students (8 is now free thanks to the university. And if you already bought a ticket you can get a full refund next week Nov. 10-13 at the Student Union Information desk as long j5 you bring your ticket with you. Of course, nonstudents will still have to jay $10. This is a good move for the university . t is sort of like a present to all the students, although the administration sometimes up:ets students or worse is even a scapegoat or students' problems they cannot do anyhing about, this act of kindness is proof that he people up top are keeping the students nmind. Really. This is not only a nice gesture toward he student body, who now gets a free show osee first-rate comedian, but it's also a great hing to do for the students working with i.RES.. As of last Friday, less than 100 tickets for his show were sold. Obviously, there would ave been a lot of tickets sold this week but robably not enough to cover Dunham's rice tag. As a result of slow ticket sales, „RRS. would have lost a considerable mount of money, meaning that they would ot be able to afford to bring other acts to SU down the road. In way, this is also a good move for Dunam, a hysterical comedian who has apieared on the Tonight Show, Dave , various commercials and many her things. Now instead of performing in int of a mostly empty 1,600 seat auditoim, he should be able to do his show in >nt of a rather large crowd. So if you have been debating about tether or not to shell out eight bucks to e a comedian you've never heard of, come i down to Farthing tonight and see him for :e, with your ASU I.D. card of course, coursy of the university.

If RSA were made into a stronger freshman pro­ gram, greater interaction between the students and teachers could result. Freshmen should take a part of their core classes together with students in their own dorm. The pro­ fessors teaching those classes should also engage in activities with the students outside of the classroom setting. Field trips, sports and parties can help students meet each other on a more personal level, and that can lead to better performance on a professional level. Better professional performance is good for the students as well as the university. That's what we're here for, right? So, like any new and growing experience, if the right ideas are learned at the beginning, the whole process goes more smoothly. Forcing more interaction initially should lead to students choosing to have more interaction and un­ derstanding in the long run. And eating more of the pizza when it's hot means having less pizza to choke down when it's cold.

The dissemination of inaccurate information is not informing; it is misleading. The Department of Communication, where both broadcasting and journalism are taught to many students, not only affirms its strong disagree­ ment with the substantive and implicit character­ izations in both the editorial and article, it decries the model of journalism both represent. Because it does support WASU (financially and as an edu­ cational unit of the department) the Department of Communication invites The Appalachian to re­ visit its consideration of WASU and the nature and degree of departmental support it receives. This time, hopefully, the mission to inform will be met. A final observation - - in the almost thirty years of its operation, WASU has provided a valuable educational experience for countless Appalachian ' students, has turned many uncertain students to careers in the broadcasting industry, has produced numerous industry leaders, and has served the campus and community with information and en­ tertainment. For these reasons, the Department of Com­ munication has dedicated faculty, staff and finan­ cial resources to its operation. It is for these rea­ sons that the Department must make this response to the October 27 issue of The Appalachian.

First, the good news... To the Editor: If ther" uny validity to the adage about pub­ licity being good, even if it's not always good pub­ licity, WASU appreciates the front page cover ("Lack of Communication") in your Oct. 27 issue. The article accurately reflected the frustration by WASU staff members concerning some of our equipment—a feeling probably felt by most col­ lege stations in the world. The article also demon­ strated our concern about the lack of financial sup­ port by the university concerning moving and up­ grading our transmitter and antenna. However, the overall theme of the story—about the conflict between WASU and the Department of Communication—is not true. The department has consistently supported, financially and other­ wise, the radio station. WASU, in turn, strongly supports the department. Matt Morrow WASU Station Manager Editor's Note: The Appalachian would like to concur with Dr. Cole and the communi­ cation department regarding the errors in the WASU story on the front page of the Oct. 27 edition.

But what is the deal with feeling bad because 'Muslim children may have been hurt"? ©0 ^ ickets for the ASU-UNC basketball game can be purchased at the Athletic Ticket Office for $24 LIJHERE Nevermind the fact that after the embassy bombing several mothers probably had to explain to their children "why daddy wasn't ever coming back home." Oh yeah, forgot about that one didn't you? And never have I read such a heinous, revolting piece of journal­ ism written on law enforcement officers. I am probably one of the biggest law enforcement advocates you will ever hear from. Half of my family is in some kind of judicial or law enforcement job. It makes me sick the way people like you sit there and crucify the very people who put their lives on the line every day to protect you and your family. And they do it for little money. One other thing. Police offic­ ers do not go out every day with six shots in their pistol and kill six people. Only morons like you be­ lieve these kinds of things. Police officers only shoot when there are lives in danger. Lives like yours. So please quit being such a typical uninformed, ignorant college stu­ dent with nothing to do but write continued from Page 3 columns. Your time could be bet­ ter spent elsewhere. Dave Piatt JP24483 Army sponsors run To the Editor: Last week, the Department of Military Science sponsored a trip to Washington DC to participate in a road race. On Friday Oct. 9, 1998. Six cadets from the Depart­ ment of Military Science and four ROTC cadets departed ASU for Washington DC to run in the 14th Annual Army Ten Miler. The Army Ten Miler is a ten mile road race, which starts and finishes at the Pentagon. Though sponsored by the US Army, there were runners from all branches of the military as well as civilians and children. The total number of runners this year was 14,106, breaking the national record for the largest number of registered participants in a ten mile race. The App House provided very comfortable and af­ fordable accommodations for the weekend. When race day came, I wasn't sure what to expect, because it would be the first road race I had ever run. As the start of the race approached, there were many people stretching out and catching up with old friends. The Secretary of the Army, Louis Caldera, was on hand to start the race after a short motivational speech. I was a bit nervous about run­ ning ten miles, but having gone through the morning workout ses­ sions in ROTC for two years, I knew it would not be a problem. Regardless of any nervousness I might have had, my main objec­ tive was to go out and just have fun. Finally, the starter pistol was fired, and I was off. While running, I watched people running around me. Some of the racers found people in the crowd of runners that they had not seen in years. The course went past such well-known sites as the Washington Monu­ ment, Jefferson Memorial, Viet­ nam and Korean Memorials, and the Capitol. As the miles added up, the crowd of runners became more spread out, so it became easier to maneuver. At the crest of one hill, a vast sea of people could be seen on the crest of an­ other. Before I knew it, the race was over and a great sense of accomplishment ran through me. Ten miles seemed like a daunt­ ing task in the beginning, but having finished, I knew I would be back next year. Overall, it was a clear, warm day, perfect for run­ ning. Everyone was congratu­ lated at the end with complimen­ tary water, bagels, bananas and juice. Everyone who went on the trip had a great time and is look­ ing forward to next year's 15th Annual Army Ten Miler. So, for everyone out there looking for a challenge and a unique experi­ ence, I hope to see you next Oc­ tober at the 15th Annual Army Ten Miler. 2nd Lt.

Straight Up...0n the �Page 7 ritical Mass: is it crowd saving? ira Souza Writer aff It was a Thursday afternoon -ound 4:30 when a crowd began form. They were at Duck Pond it similar reasons. Some wanted to protest car dlution, others just wanted to |e their bikes. The anticipation prior to the it remained strong. Many were iring with others in the excite:nt of being part of such a posimovement. Reactions began coming from iple driving on Rivers Street. iost everyone who drove by >ked at the cluster of students mnded by their bikes. It soon became 4:45 and the iup grew in number. The signlist held 40 participants. It was then 5 p.m., and the bell arted to ring. Students put their elmets on and got on their bikes, he massive crowd pedaled onto ivers Street and headed toward 21 South. "Get out of your car, get on >ur bike," participants screamed. The bike loop went from Rivs Street to Wal-mart and back to e university. Critical Mass occurs when cyists happen to be at the same ace and time, and decide to cycle e same way together. Today, Critical Masses are gaining popularity. Toronto, Lon­ don and the majority of U.S. cities hold the event once a month. San Francisco started Critical Mass a year ago and now has 500 participants. The city of Berkeley, Calif., attracts as many as 150 cy­ clists per meeting. Critical Mass is a positive movement for alternative trans­ portation. Students gather on their bikes and ride along with cars in rush hour traffic. These events present several different goals ranging from com­ bating automobile pollution and decreasing traffic and parking con­ flicts to promoting an overall en­ joyment of the great outdoors. Twenty-nine-year-old Scott Bennett, a former ASU student, is an experienced mountain biker. He rode in the first critical mass. "We have too much air pollu tion and traffic and parking prob­ lems in Boone. The Critical Mass would not only solve these prob­ lems but also create more aware­ ness and respect toward bikers," Bennett said. The Critical Mass is working for the implementation of bicycle lanes in Boone. Several accidents have taken place involving cars and bikes. Car owners feel that bikers have no rights. Bikers feel like they are part of the traffic: therefore, when these two mind­ sets come together, incidents hap­ pen. Students interested in joining the Critical Mass should bring a bike or borrow one and a helmet. Students meet at 4:30 p.m. at Duck Pond, next to Trivette Hall, on the first Thursday of every month. Critical Mass is a safe event, and the greater the number of par­ ticipants, the greater the aware­ ness of pollution, parking and traf­ fic issues will be. For students concerned about any of the problems listed above, this is the time to participate. Stay­ ing at home will not solve any­ thing. lit might actually contribute to parking, traffic and pollution problems. A Critical Mass ride will be held today at 4:30 p.m. It will start at ASU's Duck Pond Field and is open for anyone to participate in.

Asked about where they got their name, Matt Bivins (har­ monica, whistles, melodica, accord ian, mandolin and vocals) explained that it is from a 1963 song by blues legends Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. us a very ceieuiatory song, and it has a lot of energy. And it fit what we were into at the time," Bivins said. Opening for the band is gui­ tarist and friend Trish Murphy. Doors open at 9 p.m., and tick­ ets are only $5 in advance and $7 at the door.

Accompanied by original Irum beats, base lines and sound ffects, Soul Coughing rises above ie rest. After "Ruby Vroom," Soul loughing released their second |lbum, "Irresistible Bliss," in 1996. too, was well received by muic fans and critics alike. )l On their third effort, "El Oso," loul Coughing has been described I s having a darker sound. Their | of humor isn't present as it ense I ras on their first two albums, but || erhaps it was never needed in the l rst place. The music is still that mix of lunk, pop, alternative, Beck-like, jazzy gobbeldy-gook... which is to say that Soul Coughing is still Soul Coughing. The album starts off with a song called "Rolling," which fea­ tures a catchy, toe-tapping rhythm and a repetitive chorus. After that comes "Misinformed" with its fun sound effects. Next comes the band's first single off their album, "Circles." This song has a way of getting stuck in your head after you've heard it once. Why? Well the lyrics are repetitive and the tune is very basic. It's really hard not to like this song. The rest of the album continues with obscure and re­ peated lyrics accom­ panied by warped remixed sound samples. One major problem a listener may have with Soul Coughing is that their songs don't seem to have any form. There isn't a bridge, the songs aren't very singable and they could easily give you a huge headache. Because of this, the songs seem to drag on. Sure, they have interest­ ing parts, but as a whole, the songs don't seem complete. Another problem is that the same set of lines are often stretched into fiveminute songs. Take "Blame," for example. Here are the words: "Blame/ Is the cure / Cure any­ thing / Throw the rudder down / Throw the rudder down." The song is five minutes long. Songs like "Maybe. I'll Come Down" and "Pensacola" aren't even interesting in the slightest. They just feature Doughty ram­ bling against a very bland musi­ cal accompaniment. / Songs like these might be ap­ preciated by hard-core fans of Soul Coughing, but first-time listeners will hate them. "El Oso" has it's share of diggable songs, but those that are liked can very easily be disliked. ^ JL JL A /V /V * EVERY WEDNESDAY * COLLEGE NIGHT!

The win was pay-back for Appalachian after losing their final regular season game at Kidd-Brewer Stadium to the Eagles, 3-1. Jordy Broder scored the game's only goal at the 115:10 mark to give fifth seeded Appalachian State a 1-0 double overtime win over number four seed, Georgia Southern, at Eagle Field. With the win, Appalachian will move on to play in the tournament's semifinal round at Davidson, this Saturday, at 11:30 a.m., versus the winner of the Wofford/Furman quarterfinal match. The Mountaineers improve to 13-7-0 on the season and 5-4-0 in league play. Georgia Southern fin­ ishes its season with a 6-11-1 over­ all mark and a 4-4-1 Southern Con­ ference record. Broder netted his game-win­ ning goal in the second overtime period, off a deflected save from GSU keeper John Miglarese, with just under five minutes remaining. After several sporadic counter at­ tacks, the ASU defense kept Geor­ gia Southern scoreless to preserve their lead and take the win. Broder finished with a gamehigh five shots on goal, despite GSU outshooting Appalachian State 2311. ly> ern' Appalachian got revenge on Georgia Southern by defeating 1-0, after losing to the Eagles, 3-1, Saturday (Nick Greenway/Staff). For the Eagles, David Fisk had a team-high four shots, while Jer­ emy McClure, Marc Gaskins and Mike O' Neal added three shots each. Defensively, ASU goalkeeper Robert Black recorded his first ca­ reer shutout with his nine-save ef­ fort. GSU's Miglarese collected three saves in the losing cause. Appalachian State's match-up against the winner of the Wofford/ Furman game will kick off South­ ern Conference semifinal action on Saturday. The second semifinal match is slated for 2 p.m. The championship game will begin at 2 p.m., Sunday afternoon. the season on down note Jared Kavlock Staff Writer Despite strong showings through­ out the season, both of Appalachian's cross country squads came home empty-handed from the conference championships. The men's and women's teams re­ turned from Davidson after Sunday's meet with third and second place fin­ ishes, respectively. This came as a dis­ appointment after near perfect seasons for the runners. Topping the men were first place University of Tennessee-Chattanooga and runner-up East Tennessee State University. Those two defeats dropped the men's record to 39-3, with the only prior defeat coming at the hands of East Carolina University at the N.C. Inter­ collegiate Championships. However, Appalachian will still get a chance to avenge that defeat in two weeks when the teams run in the NCAA District Championships. It was ironic for the final meeting of the season to be against the Mocs and Buccaneers, two teams who were winless against Appalachian in 1998 prior to Sunday. "UT- Chattanooga has been nipping at our heels the last couple of years," said men's Coach Michael Curcio. 'This was the year they put it all together." Appalachian managed to place only one male runner on the All-Con­ ference team, Ben Bissette, whose tenth-place finish made him the last AllConference runner to cross the line. Bissette was followed by Will Dickerson in 12th place, James Layne in 19th, Shane Austin in 24th and James Slagle in 36th. "Overall, as a team, we did not have a very good day," said Curcio. "Bissette was our lone bright spot." As with the men, the women were disappointed in all, except for their first finisher, Mary Jayne Harrelson. Harrelson, who took first overall to earn Runner of the Year honors, also suc­ ceeded in breaking the course record with a time of 18:18. Along with Harrelson, Laura Walkup was named to the All-Conference team with a ninth place finish, but Coach Ben Thomas said he was "hoping for more from Walkup." Thomas felt the team's biggest prob­ lem was their inability to close the gap between each other. Tennessee-Chatta­ nooga, repeating as the women's cham­ pion, placed five runners within one minute of each other, something Appa­ lachian was unable to do. In a prime example of what can go wrong in a cross country season, last year's second place team, ETSU, was not able to run due to injuries. Both of Appalachian's teams managed to remain injury-free throughout the season, but were nevertheless unable to top Chat­ tanooga. The Mocs, who are not in the same district as the Mountaineers despite their conference ties, go into the District Championships on Nov.14 with a chance of making Nationals. Appalachian, how­ ever, must continue to work if they hope to be one of the two southeastern teams to go to Nationals. "If anything, [the loss] fired them up more," said Thomas. "Now they are even more motivated." Curcio, on the other hand, is con­ centrating on simply giving a strong showing at Nationals. "We are looking to finish in the top15," said Curcio. "And we will get another chance at ECU, so maybe we'll get some revenge." �Page 12 "1 I February 28,1999 4 nights aboard Cape Canaveral Cruise Line s i SS Dolphin departing from Port Canaveral Florida Ports of Call include: Grand Bahama Island Key West, Florida osmic Bowling is BACK! come on and be someone lucky(bowling)star | Super ' Duper Madonna-rama Bowlin the only place outside of fourth grade to dres'i and bowl like Madonna Nov. 7th It: : ipe Ive i in ire n< ISO ft at i i Inside Cabins start at $533 Double • $428 Quad Outside Cabins start at $593 Double • $458 Quad unlimited 1-800-631-7232 The billboards were surely the signs of the time.

The '75 season ending stats were mighty impressive. Seventh t in the nation in total offense. Eighth in the nation in scoring offense. Ninth in the nation in Km Appalachian was a school on the move in 1976. The university had seen it's student body triple to over 10,000 and $40 million in new construction rise from the Boone landscape. The athletic program reflected the growth as well by leaping from small college NAIA status to the top NCAA classification of Division One. It soon became obvious ASU's 10,000 seat stadium could no longer hold the thousands of Mountaineer fans who ' were flocking to games. In 1976 Appalachian's administration decided it was time the football program projected the same aggressive image as the university it represented. On a dreary October Saturday the Stadium Expansion Campaign was announced to an overflow homecoming crowd. As the plan was unveiled the crowd roared its approval. The project called for an expansion of the stadium field house, a new pressbox and 7,500 seat additions to each of the east and west sides. It was an exciting time to be a Mountaineer. The student body embraced the idea of big time college football in Boone and a stadium fee was endorsed by The Appalachian. The ASU administration s attitude towards the football program at that time is best eHesfc in their own words: "The Appalachian athletic program has never let the lack of adequate facilities stand in its way. The level of football competition has increased constantly with Appalachian competing well in NCAA Division I, the highest level of intercollegiate competition. The seating capacity of Conrad Stadium badly limits gate receipts, making larger, nationally prominent teams reluctant to schedule games at Appala­ chian. future growth of the athletic program demands that Appalachian be potentially more profitable for visiting teams. A Division One program needs a Division One sta­ dium." Source: Conrad Stadium Expansion Campaign Literature The vision of 1976 now seems like a distant memory. The stadium project which had embodied Appalachian's commit­ ment to a top notch Division One football program was never am student union bowling allt_ We've Outgrown Our Stadium, But Soon This was the message which greeted travelers to Boone during the fall of 1977. These words pasted on billboards throughout the high country were accompanied by the drawing of a beautiful new 25,000 seat stadium on the ASU campus. It was a clear message to everyone that ASU Football was going places. unlimited taki id. t per person prices include taxes and gratuities For more information please call only $3 JA tioi 5 uiui completed. It stands today as a constant reminder to those who were in attendance that homecoming day in 1976 as a symbol of the unfulfilled potential so great that former East Carolina and Auburn coach Pat Dye once referred to Appalachian as "a sleeping giant." Today a new attitude manifests the Mountaineer athletic department. The bold, aggressive approach towards football ^jvalent during the mid '70's has given way to the meager ontentment of simply maintaining the status quo. It doesn't da -A i iiice t^hose who sacrificed so much in the past. There is no questions athletics in general and football i| particular is a great source of exposure for a university. I-A ular J '* • • ' • • • *"* football doesn't have to be cash devouring monster a lot of people would have you believe it to be. But, it does have the potentia to be a great boost to Appalachian's image as a majorf Kgiona mm i it. Those who believe ASU can and should be playing on the I-A level, have been labeled as extremist only concerned about fpotball and od not have the best interest of Appalachian^ heart It is our conviction the entire university will benefit r greatly from a move to I-A. There has been a lot of bad information and lots of distorted facts circulated about a move to I-A. We just wish toset the record straight. Do we think ASU will ever be on par with the Ohio State's. Nebraska's, or Florida State's? Of course not^ However, there is a level in I-A where the Mountaineers can compete very well. If Marshall, MTSU, and Troy State can make it in I-A so can ASU. I Contrary to what has been rumored, we do nor believe ASU should try to make this move next year. 1 -Afootball goes |much deeper thanjust expanding a stadijm. Although we believe ASU has the athletic talent and quality of coaching staff to compete at the mid-major I-A level, a minimum of four years is necessary to get everthing else in place. Without question there will have to be some increase in student fees. ASU currently tanks 12th out of the 15 institutions in the NC System in fees tor athletics and the five schools with the highest athletic fees do not even field football programs. The bulk of the additional fees should begin with the 1999 freshman class and the current student body be exempted from any major increase. A portion of these new dollars could be used to help bring ASU into compliance with Title IX guidelines. People are being told the athlqtic budget to play I-A football is $20 million. According to a 1997 study, the average total athletic budget of I-A schools similar to ASU is $6.2 million, of which $2 million going towards football. Middle Tennessee's budget is $4.8 million with $1.2 million going to lootball and Troy State s is $5.5 million, $1.6 million for foot­ ball. The I-A critics always talk about the money aspect of I-A from the debit standpoint, while ignoring the plus side of the ledger. ASU recieved a $150,000 check for the 1997 game at Or e-mail us with yourc at GolA@hotmaiI.com at Clemson. Had ASU been I-A that figure could have been; high as $350,000. According to Clemson Associate AD Robej Ricketts, lower level I-A schools can virtually get any amour they desire from the bigger I-A's.

When it happens, and it could tak place in as little as three years, ASU must be in a position to align itself with those schools. It could be the saving grace the Appalachian football program. Taking action now in the direction of I-A may just be what secures the Mountaineers 3 spot in this new alliance. Those who favor going in the dirsction of I-A are convinced more than ever this move is essential to the very survival of Appalachian football at a level students and alt1111' will support. We also believe it will go a long way to help rekindle those flames which burned so brightly back in �'^LberS, 1998 'ield hockey team wins Deep South Tournament \)palachian defeats Catawba, Davidson and Quinnipiac to win third straight Deep South title Boyce f Writer The ASU field hockey team ured their third straight Deep th championship Sunday after 5 against Catawba, Davidson Quinnipiac. [Appalachian went undefeated lUgh the playoffs, a perfect 3Five Mountaineers made the Tournament Team: seniors anne Fawsett, Chanley Layton, Heather Gleason and juniors h Matherne and Dana Fabretti. The Apps were without sophore Mieke Menkveld for the tournent, who was sidelined with a injury. "It feels great," said Head ich Cathy Burleson about wins the championship. "Being t we are such a young team, y losing three seniors, I feel regood about our young folks what experience they gained season." Burleson noted the Duke game spark towards the victory. That showed them what their ential is, and I think they can >ect much more from themves," said Burleson. "It's good finish the season winning, beise that's the last memory you k of the season. It prepares you next season." The Mountaineers finished the ;on with an 8-12 record, going at home and 2-10 on the road. Against Quinnipiac, the prepajon that Burleson mentioned led goal scored in the first nine jtiutes of the first half by junior la Fabretti. Coach Burleson warned her not to be too overconfident. "I had to caution my kids not take Quinnipiac too lightly," she d. The Mountaineers struck again with 16:22 remaining, with a short corner goal by Krista Hahn. Katy Shulzitski gained the assist. Quinnipiac scored with one minute left in the first half, but neither team would score again. On Saturday, the team faced rival Davidson in a pivotal match. The Mountaineers had faced Davidson twice already, winning, 2-1, at home but losing, 0-3, on the road. Burleson called Davidson ASU's toughest opponent of the tournament. "We had some great series of passing," said Coach Burleson. "I encouraged them to keep the ball on attack." ASU's Dana Fabretti did just that, scoring on a breakaway goal with 17:16 left in the first half. The Mountaineers added an­ other when Meredith White scored with 20:34 remaining in the sec­ ond half. ASU's Chanley Layton and Beth Matherne were credited with assists. Goalie Chelsea Dailey was in­ tegral to the win, with several spectacular saves. "Chelsea played one heck of a game against Davidson," said Burleson. "Against diem, she had some great saves." The Mountaineers faced more injury when co-captain Suzanne Fawsett injured her ankle during the second game against Davidson. "She had an injury to her ankle in the Davidson game, and I think that did limit her play in the last game," said Burleson. Appalachian's biggest margin of victory came against Catawba, where they won, 4-0. ASU scored first, with 22:46 left in the first on a goal by Dana Fabretti with an assist from Siobhan Garrison. It was a breakout tournament for Fabretti, who scored four goals in all. Coach Burleson called Dana "the standout on offense." ASU scored again with 14:52 remaining off a bullet from Fawsett. Layton and Mandi Mar­ tin had assists on the play. Fabretti scored again at the end of the first half to make the score 3-0. The Mountaineers added another, 12 minutes into the second half off of a short corner shot from Fawsett. It was the second time this season ASU had faced Catawba, previously defeating them, 2-0, on Oct. 4. "It was a great way to start the tournament, because I felt that we dominated possession about 90 percent of the game. When you do that, chances are you're going to win that game very handily, which I felt like we did," said Burleson. "I think it also set the tone for the games following...I still felt it gave us a good mental edge going into the next two games," Burleson added. The Mountaineers finished the season with an 8-12 record, going 6-2 at home and 2-10 on the road (Nick Greenway/Staff). 2H322E 295-7627 Call us for all of your •PARTV^SIJB * needs cceat F» TAILCITE Tatties! 7 9 5 5 V a l l e y • $15 OFF USED BIKE BLOW-OUT!

Do you ever wonder what the Student Government Association is and what it does for Appalachian State? The SGA's main function is to represent the student body in dif­ ferent university decisions and events. There are senators who rep­ resent each ASU dormitory and those that represent students who live off campus. According to SGA President Ehren Meister, "The sole purpose of SGA is to represent students at ASU and to take care of their needs." The SGA is encouraging stu­ dents to get involved. "In order to continue to make ASU a leading university, we need to hear what is on the students' minds," said Director of Public Af­ fairs David Bowling. According to the ASU consti­ tution, every student is a member of student government and, con­ sequently, every student is invited to attend and participaLe in the weekly SGA meetings. There is a time set aside for informal discussion at each meet­ ing, in which students are invited to voice their concerns on any uni­ versity issue. SGA meets every Tuesday night in the Grandfather Mountain Ballroom of the Plemmons Student Union. The meetings begin at 6:30. Also encouraged by SGA is meeting the designated senator for off-campus or individual residence halls if it is not possible to attend the meetings. "I urge students to let us know what they want or need," said Bowling. The SGA is involved in a wide range of university issues and has set many goals for the year. According to Meister, "Every goal we have is an issue that has been brought to us by concerned students." Along with ACT (Appalachian and the Community Together), SGA is co-sponsoring "Into the Streets," a community service pro­ gram in which different university clubs and organizations are en­ couraged to get involved with the community. SGA is also sponsoring Alco­ hol Awareness Week. The proposed move of the Mountaineer football team to Di­ vision I-A is a major topic of con­ cern among students. SGA has formed a task force that has the purpose of gathering opinions from students and look­ ing at the facts of the proposed move in order to determine a po­ sition on the issue. SGA also provides opportuni­ ties for students to speak directly with Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski. There is a program entitled "Breakfast with Borkowski" which gives students an opportunity to meet and eat breakfast with the see SGA on page 2 & Opinion - 262-3104 �; TPage 2 I Department of Communication: "No Vacancies V n t h e N ews >v Associate Adjunct Professor ii Harris Teeter Grand Openi ng the Department of Communication Dr. Norman Clark held his office hours in the traffic circle outside Walker Hall, Friday, Oct. 30, to pass out fliers protesting the communication department's lack of classroom space.

The Department of Communication -oines to mind when discussing the issue of being spatially deprived. Last week, we men­ tioned the department in this very column in relation to the WASU situation. Well, it's hard for the department to sink nore resources into the radio station when he university does not provide the faculty ind students in the department enough ipace to accommodate their needs. The department, one of the largest on :ampus, occupies five classrooms in Walker, )ne of which only holds 20 people. Wey louses one traditional classroom with desks ind chalkboards as well as the television and adio facilities and other offices. Altogether, he department has the equivalent of about jne building floor. Communication majors walk from Wey Tall to Walker Hall and back to Wey again, ind faculty are forced to have an office in ine building and classes in another, making t difficult for them to get messages. This lack of facilities also makes it diffiult to offer more than a certain number of ections for certain classes because it's hard o have a class when there's nowhere for it 0 meet. The problem has not gone unnoticed by acuity or staff. You may have noticed flyers tiroughout the department that say "Standlg Room Only." Several faculty members ave been taking pictures of classrooms to how just how obtrusive the overcrowding roblem has become. A beautiful new Convocation Center is 7 the works. Not only will this provide an ena for athletic events and concerts, but it 111 also provide state of the art facilities for e Department of Health, Leisure and Ex­ cise Science. The chemistry, astronomy and lysics departments also recently received new home. f So what about the communication deirtment? When do they get a home to call leir own? A few years ago, the department was usig space in four different buildings. Now 's down to two. Hopefully, plans are in the 'orks to make it one and make that one a ttle less cozy too. j.

And although there were 5,231 lost souls in attendance, officially but not in attuality, 20,804-seat Finley Stadium did have the feel of a ghost town. "The fan support is horrible. They've got all the facilities and all the players to be a good university and it's just not hap­ pening," said Reaves of the library-like en­ vironment at Finley Stadium. Perhaps the most exciting part of this Halloween match-up was the carnival of quarterbacks that rotated on and off the field as ASU Coach Jerry Moore and UTC 28-7, before a dismal crowd Coach Buddy Green tried to out-substitute each other. In the end, Green won that battle by changing his quarterback four times, as opposed to Moore's three, but lost the war decidedly as his team dropped to 3-5. The Mountaineers, who posted one touchdown in each quarter, were led by sophomore Daniel Jeremiah from the start and throughout most of the game, but got a taste of Reaves in the second and fourth quarters. Jeremiah struck early for the Apps, rushing for their first touchdown of the day seven minutes into the first quarter. The touchdown drive, which started from the Chattanooga 19-yard line, was set up by a fumbled punt that was dropped by UTC return man Carlos Locklyn and re­ covered by ASU's Corey Hall. Jeremiah hit pay dirt again early in the second quarter on an 18-yard touch­ down pass to wide-out Rashad Slade that capped an 80-yard, 4:51 drive. Chattanooga had a chance to score with 12 seconds left in the half, but kicker Matt Vick missed his 38-yard field goal attempt. ASU then ripped out Chattanooga's heart to start the second half by breaking out a 69-yard, 14-play, eight minute scor­ ing drive that not only ate up the clock, but destroyed any chance Chattanooga had of getting back into the game. There was one play during the drive that Moore called "back-breaking," for Chattanooga. On third down and 15 yards to go from the UTC 49-yard line, Jeremiah dropped back to pass and found himself swarmed with on-rushing defenders. He escaped three different tackles near the line of scrimmage and then broke out and stumbled 24 yards all the way down to the 25-yard line for a first down that saved the drive. After allowing a meaningless touch­ down early in the fourth quarter (their first since the Georgia Southern game), the ASU defense clamped down, and the of­ fense put another seven points on the board to finish up the win. Afterward, Moore said, while the team played "a little sloppy," that it was a big win for the team on the road. He was particularly impressed with his defense, which he said did everything but contain the quarterbacks well. On his own quarterbacks, Moore said, "We didn't throw the ball anywhere near as good as we normally do." Jeremiah called his performance "av­ erage," while Reaves said his was "alright." As for who will be the permanent starter, all three seem to concur that there won't be one, and that the rotation method that has been so successful all year will continue. "We're going to juggle them around and play them both a little bit as we see fit, depending on the defense and a little bit on the way they perform in ball games," said Moore. No maner who starts, the Apps have no shot at the conference's automatic bid to the Division I-AA playoffs, after topranked Georgia Southern blew out East Tennessee State Saturday to improve to 7-0 in SC play and 9-0 overall. However, ASU still has a shot at a share of the league crown if the Eagles lose to Furman next week. Of more importance, the Mountain­ eers have a good shot at a top-four seed and two home games in the playoffs if they can win out the rest of their schedule. That quest will continue next Satur­ day at 2 p.m., as the Mountaineers host VMI for Homecoming. The Sports Network Division I-AA Poll As of Nov. II, 1998 1. Georgia Southern (95) 2.

Upon being frustrated with his lack of notification, Ackerman in­ quired who was responsible to tell students that their classes have been canceled. He also asked if the university or the individual department in­ forms students of alternatives. Additionally, Ackerman re­ mains concerned with the small number of upper level classes of­ fered. History major and senior Brian Kingbird said, "I feel that there are never enough courses offered, and offering them only at one time does not work because we all have other classes to take and other things to do." According to a source within the registrar's office, the standard operating procedure concerning •canceled classes is to inform the affected department of the cancel­ lation. It is then left up to the indi­ vidual department to inform the students. The registrar's office also tries to fit students- with appropriate Advertising - 262-2157 additional classes if possible. The source within the registrar's office said that there are several reasons for canceling a class. Professor resignations and meeting the demand that the tre­ mendous increase in freshmen enrollment has put on freshman level courses are some issues that affect which classes are canceled. Wade said that currently there is no departmental policy concern­ ing the cancellation of special topic classes. "This is the first time that the department was short for fresh­ man enrollment," Wade said. Ackerman says that the uni­ versity is too reactive when they need to be proactive. Wade warned that a student should not rely on special topic classes to fulfill requirements in order to avoid the situation that Ackerman experienced. Ackerman needed the class to fulfill a European history require­ ment for his graduation and is ful­ filling the requirement by doing an independent study under Lanza, he said. Studying abroad is a dream of many students on the ASU cam­ pus, and through the Office of In­ ternational Programs (OIP), this dream can be made a reality. OIP is offering 21semester and year-long study abroad trips. Ad­ ditionally, the summer study abroad program also offers 23 study abroad opportunities. Semester and year-long stud­ ies abroad are made up of pro­ grams with foreign universities in 14 different countries. In addition to the regular programs, the OIP offers exchanges through the In­ ternational Student Exchange Pro­ gram. "Study abroad takes careful planning and paper work," stated Coordinator for Education Abroad Nancy Wells. Interested students can take the first step to studying abroad by attending an informational meeting. A sign-up board on the second floor of l.G. Greer Hall posts fliers that indicate the dates and times of each informational meeting. After attending informational meetings, the resource room is the next step. In the resource room are ma­ terials on all the programs. When further questions arise and more work needs to be done, sign-up books for Wells and For­ eign Student Advisor Bob White are on the second floor of l.G. Greer. There are qualifications for many of the study abroad pro­ grams, such as language proficiencies. Some common qualifications decided by OIP are that students must have a G.RA. of 3.0 or better and must have finished their fresh­ man year. Not all of the study abroad programs require foreign language proficiencies. The OIP said that there are several such locations in European countries and other parts of the world. What concerns most students interested in foreign study is the threat of a hefty price tag. According to the Oip study abroad programs are affordable. Many cost the same as going to ASU. The one additional cost to all trips is the international airfare. 'There are many scholarship opportunities," said Wells. Stu­ dents can use federal and state fi­ nancial aid to pay tor foreign study. ASU also provides Financial aid through the OIP which is' based on merit and need. Credit is available for students in their major, minor or core cur­ riculum requirements according to the OIP Summer study abroad is offer­ ing programs in over 18 different countries. "The programs are better spread out all over the world this year," said the Coordinator of Sum­ mer Study Abroad Meg MarckKennedy. A special note: The bulletin mailed out about the summer study abroad opportunities left off a program. Dr. Ramon Solis of the Foreign Language Department is taking a trip to Spain. Last summer, the summer study abroad program went on 19 different trips with 325 students. "This year, 120 students have ap­ plied for summer study abroad programs," remarked MarckKennedy. The summer trips are two to four weeks long and are offered through different departments and professors. Students who want to apply for these programs can contact the professor in charge or MarckKennedy. Cost on a summer trip in­ cludes airfare, insurance and hous­ ing. Hiition is not included, though it has been reduced for out-of-state students, said Marck-Kennedy. "Studying abroad is important for every student," stated Wells. Study abroad helps in the job mar­ ket and in graduate school. Handouts on both semester and year study abroad programs and summer programs are avail­ able in l.G. Greer. The Globe, a semester publi­ cation of OIR and a quarterly news­ letter from "Lonely Planet" are also available. Additionally, there is an infor­ mative web site online at www. OIRappstate.edu. Sigma Phi Epsilon tournament a success Paul Giemza Staff Writer While many people believe that fraternities are founded on parties, Appalachian State's Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity was founded on virtue, diligence, and brotherly love. On Sunday, the fraternity demonstrated all three character­ istics at their second annual char­ ity golf tournament, "A Hit for the Heart," at the Boone Golf club. Last year, in the inaugural tournament, over 80 participants braved the cold rain and poor play­ ing conditions to raise $1,500. This year, the tournament consisted of 97 players and raised News& Sports 262-6233 close to $3,000 for the fight against cancer. "The tournament did even bet­ ter than we thought," said junior Will Vick. 'The weather was perfect," he said. The tournament was created and organized by junior Mike Shook last year of Sigma Phi Epsi­ lon. Shook organized this year's tournament as well, but admitted that the tournament required an effort from every member of the fraternity. Each year, the fraternity hopes to double the amount raised from the previous year. see Golf on page 2 Campus Life & Opinion - 262-3104 �Page 2 Golf from page 1 (www. gctchaback. can) DISCOUNTTOBACCO PRODUCTS* FINE CIGARS ROMANTIC LINGERIE & NOVELTIES*GAG GIFTS INCENSE* INTERNATIONALGIFTS *BLOW-UP SHEEP LEATHER* LATEX -BONDAGE * PROFESSIONAL BODY PIERCING * ALWAYS AUTOCLAVE STERILE NEW NEEDLE EVERYT1ME TOP QUALITY JEWELRY 316LVM NIOBIUM* 14K 195 NEW MARKET CTR.

"This is why the tour­ nament has meaning." Besides willing participants, sponsorship was key in the success of the tournament. "It takes roughly $7,000 just to get this thing started, and $10,000 to reach our $3,000 do­ nation goal," Shook said. Sponsors came from near and far, from Boone to Atlanta and in­ cluded among others: Phil's Citgo, Strategic Technologies Inc., Glaxo Welcome, The Warehouse, Durango Bagel, Wal-mart, Bojangle's, Pollard Lumber Co. and Owsley and Sons Inc. These sponsors were recog­ nized at a banquet that followed the tournament, and the fraternity gave away over 60 door prizes. The tournament's proceeds were donated to The V Founda­ tion, a foundation created in 1993 by the former N.C. State basket­ ball Coach Jim Valvano with the help of ESPN. Valvano lost his life to cancer, and the foundation is now being run by his wife and daughters. The V Foundation board of directors consists of such notable people as actor Bill Cosby, Duke basketball Coach Mike Kryzewski, sports analyst Leslie Visser and college basketball commentator Dick Vitale.

You would think that students who are ying to attend an academic institution like U are worth it. But somebody up top aprently doesn't view it that way.

The only way to effectively describe :hael Ackerman's and the other history eddents' situation (see front page) is to come it to a bad check, written by the unisity to the student. Had Ackerman's tuition check to Appahian bounced, he would have been Irged 20 to 30 dollars and would have 1iived nasty letters from the Student AcInts office. However, the school writes lerman a bad check and he is supposed |rin and bear it. Now that's scary. 5 such an injustice can happen to stufts with no repercussions to those in jirge, all the students at Appalachian are leep trouble. | The registrar's office says that they ely inform departments of the cancellas and it is up to them to inform the stuI ts. There is nothing the university can |about this. Their hands are tied. Yeah, and the check is in the mail. This merely sounds like another case of lebody up above forgetting that it's the pie down below, the students, that are most important people around here. 4 t The Appalachian is run and produced by Appaian State University students.

The concern is that as uni­ that any discussion on education should be a patch­ versities increase enrollment, they, in turn, lower aca­ work of opinions. I intend on including ideas that demic standards. The obvious fear is that professors people have shared with me. The fact that college may feel obligated to teach down to these average experience, obtaining a degree, and finding work has Joes, thus hindering the more advanced student. a different value for each of us is precisely my point. As I listened to this student vent, I realized I was College education has transformed into some­ probably the enemy. I typically find my courses to be challenging. Another student, on the brink of graduation, described a college degree as much too generic to instill the skill for a specific career. Grad school seemed to be the common nightmare haunting the upper classmen who agreed with this opinion. Trade school equivalent to those in foreign coun­ tries is an idea tossed around by students searching for alternatives to college. The concept is to estab­ lish schools that train people who are talented in cer­ tain fields for a specific jobs such as engineering. This ensures a skill for a job while eliminating the gen­ eral studies that some find a tedious waste. There are, of course, many students who are com­ pletely suited by college life and its results. These people describe college as sort of a halfway house into the real world. They are content with gaining general knowledge as well as becoming educated in the field of their choice. I personally love the college experience and am thankful that the opportunity reaches almost any­ one who desires to be a part of it. I need the aspect of college that aids in finding my own groove in life. I am afraid that the emphasis placed on college shadows the reality that different people need dif­ ferent guides into the future. College has become the 21st century's remedy for intolerance, unemployment, cultural awareness and economic stability, to name a few. Although it is a respectable movement that has made a positive sweep across our nation, it is time for some new oudets.

However, as every good concert-goer for Walnut Creek that said she was playing. knows, there pretty much has to be one encore. I alerted my friend (a die-hard Tori fanatic), and After about 30 seconds of rousing fanfare from we decided to go, even though it was on a Sunday the crowd, the Lady in Red (dress and hair) launched night and the drive back would be a pain in into "She's Your Cocaine" and "Raspberry Swirl," two the...uh...posterior. We snagged our tickets and high-energy songs from her most recent album. At ooked forward to the break a little more than most one point during the first song, she played both the people. piano and the keyboard at once. The cool part was Due to my friend's casual feelings about time, that they were 180 degrees from each other. She had she arrived at my house five minutes after the con- a swivel chair so she could switch musical instru­ ments in the middle of a song. During the encore, she had to turn completely facing the audience and play the grand piano with her left hand and the keyboard with her right. Wow. Thirty minutes and three songs later, she left the stage for the last time, never to return that night. I felt deflated. One of the most intense musical expe­ riences of my life had just occurred, and now it was over. All that was left were memories. Consequendy, I listened to her newest CD (the only one I had) on the way during my three-hour trek back to Boone in the middle of the long, cold night. I've heard many people describe going to a Tori concert as nothing short of orgasmic. 1can now un­ derstand why. More than one female friend of mine has confided in me that they're strongly heterosexual, but they'd do Tori. I can now understand why. I could ramble on and on about the intensity of her performance, the passion in her song writing, and the honesty of her music. To do that, however, would be blasphemy. Trying to put an experience that powerful into words is doomed to failure. The col­ umn you've just read has been one more writer's feeble attempt to clothe the intangible in a tangible form so others can get an inkling of the experience. All in all, the concert and the surrounding events were nothing short of amazing. If you ever have a chance to see her live, don't pass it up. I have found another musician to add to my list of favorites. She was great, stupendous, and spectacular. It all boils down to one thing: you go, girl. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Editor's note: Three letters that we recieved last week over e-mail were accidentaly deleted before being saved. If you wrote a letter to us late last week that was not published please send it again. We regret the error. Be all that we can be, then move To the Editor: As a former player at App, I would like to see us become the best Division I-AA school that we can before going I-A. I was there when we left the NAIA for the NCAA. Without a confer­ ence, it was difficult to get rivalries going. Luckily, some of the other schools in the area followed us into the NCAA, and we were able to get into a good conference with a regional makeup. I cannot see this happening for ASU in I-A. There are not enough schools in the South­ ern Conference ready to make the move. Look at East Carolina and how long they had to struggle. We have trouble scheduling ACC teams now because we can compete with them. Charles Greene, class of 1973 hcgreene@mail.clt.bellsouth.net Cracking down on handicapped parking To the Editor: This letter is in response to the complaints concerning parking and traffic safety on the ASU campus. There is a university committee called the Traffic Management and Safety Committee. It is composed of five students, five staff and five faculty. These people are all volunteers, ap­ pointed through SGA, Staff Council and Faculty Senate. The committee's charge is to provide in­ formation to and advise the administration, Uni­ versity Police and Traffic Office on matters concern­ ing traffic, parking, safety and security issues. The Committee provides a forum for university person­ nel and students to question, express concerns and offer advice on these issues. Members of this com­ mittee also serve as the appeal board for written and oral appeals of parking tickets. The committee wants everyone to know that we are reading your letters, editorials and listening to your complaints. Our coworkers and classmates are telling us their concerns. We are sending your feed­ back forward. We attempt to assist in finding solu­ tions to problems. We meet once a month and our meetings are open to the public. Some of the positive things the committee has done in the past include asking the Traffic Office to better define problem parking areas (we do this on an ongoing basis), clarify policies in the handbook, and last year we produced the bright red pamphlet, "Parking Do's and Dont's." Every student received this and the full handbook in their mail box at the begin­ ning of the semester. This year, we are planning to put up a web site and we are looking forward to working with the new Director of Traffic, Barry Sauls, who just started this month. One issue that has been brought up repeatedly this semester has to do with handicapped parking. All vehicles on campus must be registered, regard­ less of status. This includes all visitors. Visitors park for free. If you are a handicapped person who is also a visitor, you may park for free in any legal space, including a handicapped space, if you display a valid state-issued placard. However, you should also have a visitor hang tag, just like other visitors. If you are a handicapped student, staff or faculty, you pay to park just like everyone else. However, if you have a valid state-issued placard or temporary handicapped per­ mit, you are allowed to park in a handicapped space. The state-issued placard gives you a right to park in a handicapped space; it does not allow you to park on the sidewalk, in fire lanes or other non-parking areas. Some people think this is unfair - but one of the main reasons for having handicapped people regis­ tered is to prevent fraud. This is a huge problem, and ASUs vehicle registration rules attempt to re­ duce this problem. If you possess a legitimate handicapped placard, you would be mad if some­ one unlawfully was parked in a handicapped space, right? The ASU parking attendants check the placard to make sure it matches the owner/ driver of the vehicle. If it does not, then a $100 ticket is given. It is unethical to borrow your grandmother's or a friend's handicapped placard. If you are caught doing this, you will get a ticket and probably get your car wheel-locked. The Traf­ fic Officce f" id six vehicles in one day with bo­ gus handicapped placards! So please do not mis­ understand their intentions: They want legiti­ mately handicapped people to be able to find handicapped spots. People with real need for handicapped spaces should not have to compete with people who are trying to beat the system. Mistakes may happen. For instance, a handi­ capped person may be legitimately driving or riding in someone else's car. That is why we have the appeal process. We have approved a number of appeals this semester when there have been exceptions. There are many other issues to grapple with concerning parking, traffic and safety. Our com­ mittee cannot solve all of them, and in fact, many of them are beyond our control. But we can listen to your concerns and pass them along. The Direc­ tor of Traffic, a new position at ASU, will be an individual responsible for parking in a more fo­ cused way. The University Police has been organi­ zationally split from the Traffic Office. The folks at the University Police Department have been very supportive during the transition period. Lastly, I want to recognize the people who work in die Traffic Office. They work hard, they try to be fair and they take a lot of abuse. Instead of just complaining, let's work to find solutions.

The NBA has already canceled the first two weeks of the season, and if an agreement isn't reached quickly, the rest of the November schedule will be lost and maybe even some of December. The NBA, up until now, has never lost a game due to labor dis­ putes in its 52-year history. So I'm asking the NBA to put an end to this childish circus. You've already exposed yourselves as money-hungry. Now, NBA still has a shred of dignity left, but as the strike goes on, owners and players are going to look more and more the fool. The playeis and owners need to put their differences aside and do their jobs: PLAY BALL! Of the top five individual scorers on the team, four of them are freshmen. Mavis Clapp leads the charge of the newcomers, with five goals and three assists on the season. Casey Jacobs, Jinelle James, and Kristin Gold­ smith have also contributed 10+ points on the season. The freshmen on the roster account for 25 of the team's 40 goals. This recruiting class has been a good one," Popoola said. "Coming into the season, I was a little worried that I was going to have so many freshmen in the lineup, and that the lack of experience would hurt us early on. But, that has not been the case with this group. I think we have a strong base of kids right now, with the freshmen, and with what we have already in place. If we can recruit a class next year that is half as good as this one, we will have one of the top four teams in the confer­ ence." A win over Georgia South­ ern would not only send the Mountaineers to the Southern Conference semifinals in Greenville, S.C., Nov. 7, but it would also give Popoola his FROM $159 PER WEEK cyvaaiVgPii For a deCicum experience, ej} F«uL and Ftiemk ' We Feature A Menu Full Of Homemade & Healthy Items • All Dishes Are Fresh And At An Affordable Price 2 HOURS: Monday Tues.-Fri.

The former ACC Player-ofthe-Year has already reached that mark as a men's head coach, compiling 201wins in 13 seasons. "If getting my 200th win this season means that my team is still alive and playing, then I'm all for the record. I have never been in coaching for the records and the glory. I am in this for the kids. I would do anything to keep this season going, because this is a great team to be around. They have battled through some tough times with their heads up, and I am very proud of the way they have come together," said Popoola. If Appalachian should beat the Eagles in Statesboro, and win the Southern Conference cham­ pionship in Greenville, they would be the recipient of the first-ever automatic bid to the NCAA tournament by a Southern Conference school. With the women's tourna­ ment expanding to a field of 48, the Southern Conference no longer has to stage a play-in game with another conference to earn a bid. SPRINC BREAK Live music with Jay Brown side Appalachian Twin Theatre on King Street measly $2.2 million. How can they afford to eat off of that? The owners are just as guilty, after signing a $2.6 billion televi­ sion contract with NBC and TNT. Poor babies. Does the league really believe that when or if the dispute is settled the fans will come running back to them, filling up seats as they eagerly await the start of a new season? The chances of this are rather slim. We sports fans will find enter­ tainment by other means like say, hockey, or maybe even the wild world of pro-wrestling. I bet Stone Cold Steve Austin would rather smash a chair over someone's head than negotiate in a labor dispute. For some reason, the genius leaders between the two sides can't seem to comprehend who really runs the show. The real boss is the fans, of course, their tickets pay salaries and contribute to revenues. These loyal supporters even­ tually will get fed up with pathetic strikes and rising ticket prices. Just as Major League Baseball witnessed four years ago, people will stop going, stop watching and stop caring.

We can't even ensure the engi­ neering study un­ til we have money for the engineers," said Cole. Most of the funding that WASU will need to consider such a study will have to WASU disk come from a LeWinter). blending of funds from academics, the advancement office, funding from the university and private donors, said Cole. WASU receives financial sup­ port from the communication de­ partment, but it is not enough to provide the equipment that is needed. However, the communication department views the funding matter differently than those di­ rectly involved. "We pay the bills for the telephone, the bills for all the utilities. For example copying; we don't charge them for using the copier. And mailing, the depart­ ment pays for all mailing. Last year alone the department itself spent $2,000 on postage," said Cole. "The fact of the matter is with- Plemmons Statue dedication held last Friday jockey Jonathan Wash works the control panel at the station (provided toy harah out the communication depart­ ment, WASU wouldn't be on .the air," said Cole. WASU recently bought a new Macintosh to use for their digital work which cost $6,000. "(WASU) paid for this com­ pletely ourselves. It took three and a half years of underwriting to pay for it. We had asked the depart­ ment for help but they showed no interest," Tyrie said. Furthering the differing opin­ ions between the department and the station, LeWinter has brought up the prospect of applying for additional funding through grants. "I've talked with Dr. Cole...but he wasn't very supportive at all. If I don't have support from him or set for the next 10 years," said Morrow. The department still claims that WASU is dependent on them. "We're always buying CD players and microphones for the depart­ ment. We maintain everything out of the departmental budget. We provide WASU with two big of­ fices, maybe three, and a whole studio complex." It comes down to an impor­ tant lesson. Nothing can be accom­ plished unless there is communi­ cation. "I think ignorance is the issue first of all. We don't know what they don't know. Until they come to us and ask us questions, noth­ ing will be resolved," said Cole.

"The station is run on total determination. We all love it. We make do with what we've got," said LeWinter. Even though the station staff works with constant monetary frustrations, they persevere through self-sufficiency. "The good thing is, we have total freedom. Dr. Tyrie is our fac­ ulty advisor. He's more of the laissez-faire type, as long as our ideas aren't totally out there. It would help if we had some extra funding from the communication department. Maybe after this year if we can just get an extra com­ puter and a fax machine we'd be With the thought of I-A foot­ ball moves lurking around town, Boone could be on the verge of undergoing a community over­ haul. The thought of Appalachian State's football program going I-A has got town council members voicing their opinions on how the community will deal with the im­ pact. Main factors involve Boone's ever growing traffic problem and the potential economic gain for the town itself. Although there are arguments for both issues, three-year council member Max Schram says, "I be­ lieve that the positives outweigh the negatives." Although three-year council member Dempsey Wilcox says that there will be no tremendous im­ pact. However, he did comment that, "Traffic and overcrowdedness are bad now. It's just going to get worse." • Wilcox went on to say, "When you add 10,000 more people on the weekend, parking will more than likely spread into town and a shutde system may need to be in­ volved." Two-year member Tim Wilson addressed the traffic issue by say­ ing, "The only negative aspects that come to mind would be that we already have a traffic problem. We might have to look at different 1—1 perspectives in parking." In the eyes of the town coun­ cil, it appears that the only real side effect for the community is the traffic and parking problem. The council members also agreed that the move to I-A would be economi­ cally prosperous. Wilson was highly vocal on the economic issue by saying, "I'm sure it will bring more local dollars to Boone which would be in the town's best interest economically." He went on to say, "It will bring more people in for rooms in our hotels, restaurants would do better, service stations would sell more fuel and shopping in local stores would increase on the week­ ends." "Restaurants, hotels, and retail would do very well and help gen­ erate revenue for the town itself," Wilson agreed. It is very evi­ dent that the town will prosper eco­ nomically from the impact of big­ ger crowds, but it is still undecided if this prosperity is worth coping with the enormous traffic dilemma. Wilcox spoke along the same lines by saying, "There will be no big burden on the town, it's only a traffic problem for four or five weekends out of the whole year." Wilcox also commented in terms of the impact on the school itself by saying, "The move will upgrade the image of ASU as a major university while undergoing a temporary change of character."

After that, she had to use a wheelchair. "I thought my life was over," Driscoll said. When she returned to high school, another student with spina bifida coerced her into attending a wheelchair soccer practice. Driscoll went reluctantly, and ended up enjoying it so much that she became involved in wheelchair basketball and even water-skiing. Life then went downhill for Driscoll when she attended the University of Wisconsin. "I wasn't dealing with my disability, and I ended up flunking out." Then Driscoll was recruited to play basketball by a wheelchair sports coach at the University of Illinois at Champagne. She became a dual sports ath­ lete there for basketball and rac­ ing. The racing coach saw poten­ tial in Driscoll and tried to talk her into starting marathons. Driscoll HAS THE BEST HALLOWEEN BASH was uninterested in marathons, but entered a 12 K road race in Spokane to pacify her coach. Surprisingly, she won the race after out-sprinting a woman who had not lost the race in five years. To her amazement, when she won the race in Spokane, her time qualified her for the Boston Mara­ thon. In April of 1990, Driscoll won her first of seven consecutive Bos­ ton Marathons. She also broke the world record by seven minutes. "I was euphoric like never before...I could not believe I had won that race." Gaining from these opportu­ nities helped Driscoll to realize that her disability was one of her characteristics. "I used to feel guilty, but there's nothing I can do about it." Driscoll ended her motiva­ tional speech by providing insight on success. "Our biggest limita­ tions are those we set on ourselves...Dream big, work hard, take those risks." The speech was presented by the Equity Office, Women's Con­ cerns, Minority Concerns and the Department of Athletics.

Both have missions to inform and entertain their audiences while educat­ ing and preparing their employees for ca­ reers in the newspaper/radio industries. To become educated and prepared, stu­ dents need practical experience, which they certainly get by having their articles pub­ lished or hosting a show on the air. Stu­ dents also need the opportunity to work with the equipment and technology that is used in the industries out in the real world. This is where there is a major discrep­ ancy between The Appalachian and WASU. We, at The Appalachian,benefit from hav­ ing digital cameras, negative scanners, new computers with a host of different programs and other modern equipment that is used by professional newspapers. The App, on the other hand has very little of the modern equipment in their stu­ dio that commercial radio stations use. Most of what they have to work with is at least 10, or even 20, years old. In contrast, students at The Appalachian do not even use equipment that is five years old, except for some cameras (which last a long time) and few other things. A major reason for this is, while The Ap­ palachian is allowed to sell advertising and did ($106,000 worth just last year), WASU s forbidden by the FCC to do this. Because >f that, the only way The App can make any noney is to get local businesses to sponsor heir different shows, a process called unlerwriting, in exchange for a "donation." Jnfortunately, WASU only made about one Jenth of the money last year that The AppaJachian made. And because the Department of Commu­ tation does little more than provide WASU vith studio space and pay their phone bills ind utilities, the students at the station do lot have enough money to buy new CDs and ;et the new equipment they need. Who is hurt by all this? Mostly the stu­ dents who work hard to make The App what is, the 1997 national Station of the Year, according to the National Association of College Broadcasters. The radio personnel work hard to make 30.5 a good station, and in return, they are ;iven little support by the department of vhich they are a part.

Yes; Jaywalking makes Rivers Street unsafe for motorists and jaywalkers Keep your eyes open when crossing Rivers Street; we now have to worry about getting tagged by a car and the campus police. The campus police are pissing students off by giv­ ing out jaywalking citations and eventually tickets. Last week, ASU police began issuing the citations in response to the accident that happened at the in­ tersection on Rivers Street at the Kerr Scott Build­ ing on Sept. 2. A student was hit by a car crossing the street and was airlifted to Forsyth Medical Center in Winston-Salem.

Are you scared to drive in this town because of how many different police officers there are just waiting to meet their ticket quota for the month? Have you basically given up on the possibility of having a car in Boone? If you answered yes in your head to the last question, it probably means that you do quite a bit of walking on cam­ pus and around town. But if you thought that made you safe from the possibility of getting a ticket, beware. Mike Daniels Recently, the university has begun cracking down on Editor-in-Chief one of society's most heinous crimes; jaywalking.

We learn that the highest present to the soul of man is not wisdom, or love, or beauty, or power, but all in one." Emerson made the distinction between the outer self, by which others know us, and the essential self. The inner experience of the human being found in nature is the true guide to reality. After I studied Emerson my junior year in high school, I realized my place in the universe. That place is one that is only for me, where I am content with­ out interference of others. I thank Bethany Parrish for attempting to explain how you find yourself. No one can explain it in a way others could understand. It is an independent discovery, and you know what it feels like, but no one else does. I wish everyone could feel the way Emerson, Parrish and I do, but they will, eventually. You may find yourself in the words to a Pearl Jam song, or by organizing positive and negative energy, like Parrish. You may find yourself in nature, like Emerson.. After^-eading Emerson's essays, I felt cleansed and had the power to control my destiny. It was al­ most like my passage into maturity. I am better able to percieve anything that I am confronted with now that my mind is opened even more. When you realize what you are and your pur­ pose in the world, it is the absolute best feeling an individual can experience. You may find a person that feels the same way you do, and that is the second best feeling an individual can experience. I don't think that you have to believe what Emerson writes. You may be offended by his words or mine. But I was merely sharing what helped me find myself. If you did not gain anything from this article, you at least learned that Emerson was a founder of Transcendentalism. If you take an Ameri­ can Literature course, you will hear his name again. �0ct°ber The ASU Health Service M is offering 1 DANCE PABTY m dance i t¥0k costume contest XMS movie *\ y to ASU students beginning bJ Monday, October 26 through * M be Tuesday, November 2 mm Monday-Friday 8-11:30 AM & 1-3:30 PM 30 Only hese items allowed: rice, cards, toast, newspaper, lighters, small water guns, and a 6-pack of beer (w/ ID).

Mitchell's back room on a Wednesday evening, chances are, you might feel a little intimidated. Why? Because from 7-9 p.m., J Ryan Frye holds his bi-weekly selfdefense class. Want to feel more in control? More confident? This class might be the answer. Teaching American Free-Style Karate, Frye holds a black belt and is a six-year veteran instructor of martial arts. He receives help from assisting instructors of lower rank. The class starts out with stretches and then breaks up into ! groups according to the level of the students' abilities. More advanced ; students with higher belts instruct l he newer students and show them ( >asic moves. , While teaching the class, Frye asks the students why each move lis so powerful. He also explains which points on the body are most I effectively targeted in a dangerous iituation. Frye talked about ways to re­ let in certain situations, such as I he importance of creating dis1 ance between you and the atacker. Frye also touched on defense Igainst someone with a knife and nswered the students' questions I bout various other unfortunate (onfrontations that may possibly (rise. Frye's goals as a teacher inude helping the white belts to progress, improvement in all of his students, and helping the entire class build confidence in their abil­ ity. He was inspired by the altru­ ism of the sport of American Free Style Karate and believes the class helps him compete, as well. "The art will die if not taught," Frye said, and that is part of the reason he was prompted to get in­ volved in teaching martial arts. Frye said some of the benefits are the obvious aspects of learning how to defend oneself and the ex­ ercise factor, but also the fact that the environment of the class is a friendly one. Frye feels many of his students are involved because of the closeknit feeling of the group. He agrees that it takes time and determina­ tion to master the skill of martial arts. "If you're determined, you will succeed," Frye said. The students have the chance to work at-their own pace. Some people, Frye says, come solely for the workout and to learn a few basic moves of self-defense. Stu­ dents also get a chance to receive belts as they move up in the class. Students in the class feel it has helped them in many ways. The theme of the self-defense class is to work hard to achieve a goal. "Anyone can do it, as long as they put forth the effort," junior Glenn Greeson said. Greeson is a high blue belt and is testing for his red belt. For Greeson, the class is a great way to let off steam and have fun with a bunch of other people with shared interests. Greeson stated that it defi­ nitely makes him feel more safe, and feels he learns things from the class he wouldn't otherwise. "I know I can protect myself from an attacker," Greeson said. For others, like Dr. Mary Ballard, the class serves a com­ pletely different purpose. "I was frightened," Ballard said, and explained the circum­ stances that prompted her to take the class. As the faculty advisor of BGLAAD (Bisexuals, Gays, Lesbians and Allies Allocating Diversity), she is no stranger to differences in opinion. Last year after B-GLAAD dis-. played their message in the tun­ nels under Rivers Street, they were bombarded with threatening hate messages. Ballard, who is also an asso­ ciate professor in psychology, de­ cided that it was time to learn how to defend herself. Ballard feels it is possible for anyone to get involved and to progress as long as they have the determination. "In order to learn how to de­ fend yourself well, you have to stick with it," Ballard said. Both Ballard and Greeson agree that the class has definitely built their confidence. With 25 assaults being re­ ported on Appalachian's campus last year, students are looking for ways to protect themselves. Perhaps this self-defense class is a solution. , Below: A student gets instruction from one of higher rank on basic karate moves (Beck Long/photographer). Above: Senior brown belt Michael S.

The church was packed with individuals who came out to recieve a blessing. These dominating voices range from freshmen to seniors who at­ tend ASU. In the song "Come in the House" by John P Kee, the octaves ranged from the soulful sounding soprano of Yolanda Bethea, whose voice was soft spoken, but heard by all, to Precious Harris, an alto whose strong vocals captivated the audience with total praise. Tenor Antonio Roberts' voice penetrated the hearts of all and left the audience wanting to hear more. To prepare for the concert, it took ASU's Gospel Choir months of rehearsal and mini concerts at other churches. The members agree that Sunday's concert was a success. Erika Hunt, a senior from North Wilkesboro, said, "I enjoyed the concert. We worked very hard, and the crowd was re?ponsive and appreciative. I also felt the solo­ ists knew what they were singing about in the songs they sang." The crowd appreciated the choir with thunderous applause and praise that led to continual uplifting of Christ through song. This sense of joy from the crowd was felt by choir member Angie Duncan, a senior from Lenoir. "1 thought it was good. 1 felt, for a change, we could hear all three parts (soprano, alto, tenor). It did my heart good to see the audience get into it," Duncan said. Antwan Clemmons, a junior from Winston-Salem, also shared the same sentiments as Duncan. "The concert was an ex­ tremely blessed event, something I was looking forward to and pray­ ing about." Clemmons went on to say that the choir's primary focus is prais­ ing God and ministering to the people. ASU's Gospel Choir has proven that praise for God is their goal. It has been administered through song. �I Page 6 Crow releases an emotional session -| SHOWS • ' m i i r*i ''nrr-ir ^' Kevin Kobos Staff Writer Sheryl Crow The Globe Sessions EST. 1989 the bancTthat literally'starteci the neo-swing movement When you talk about solid al­ bums, Sheryl Crow's first two al­ bums come to mind.

'There's not a feeling I ,1 ASU quarterback David Reaves (#8) hit 5 of 11 passes for 48 yards, a touchdown, and an interception (Nick Greenway/Staff). better for a cornerback," said Tatum. Tatum also made nine tackles, while ASU's leading tackier, Adam Neiheisel, had 13 stops for Appalachian. The ultimate goal for any defense is a shutout, and the Mountaineers have seemed to be so close to recording their first shutout since '94 in several of their games. Tatum said it's not a matter of "if" but "when" the defense will pitch a shutout. "We are going to get one before this season's over," Tatum said. In ASU's sole scoring drive in the fi­ nal quarter, it seemed as if the Mountain­ eers couldn't help but score again as the Terrier defense ran out of gas. ASU rumbled 82 yards in under two minutes to record their last touchdown. Appalachian's Chris Abrille came off the bench to relieve McCall, and Abrille picked up right where McCall left off, rushing three times for 25 yards. "He's just learn­ ing to be an I-back right now," said Moore. But it was the 47-yard pass completion from Jeremiah to Darryl Skinner that set up fullback Kareem Young's 24-yard touchdown run to wrap up the Mountain­ eer scoring for the day. Appalachian almost tacked on a an­ other score late in the contest, but thirdstring quarterback Roman Kelley fumbled at the Wofford 3-yard line. inning won't be enough for Apps Mountaineers will need help from other teams to get home field advantage in the playoffs Help could be on the way for Ap New Hampshire aided in the Jachian. cause with a 31-19 win over then Appalachian's loss to Georgia sixth-ranked William and Mary. luthern may have temporarily The loss bumped ASU up a spot locked them down in the national from seventh to sixth in the na­ |nkings, but there is a good tion and sank William and Mary ance that ASU could rebound, to number 12. en if Georgia Southern wins the This was just one loss that re­ ft of their games. sulted in one move up for Appa­ First, Appalachian had to Justin Griffin lachian, nothing more, right? |ip themselves this past week- Sports Editor Maybe not. and did, with a 31-6 win For McNeese State and ^r Wofford.

Austin aren't ranked, they are capable of putting McNeese State and Northwestern in their place. McNeese had to use last minute heroics in order to pull out a 2017 win over Stephen F. Austin last week­ end. This week, second-ranked Hampton will play William and Mary. Both have proved they belong in the upper echelon of I-AA football. Hampton has al­ ready defeated Florida A&M, who is ranked seventh behind ASU. A&M is led by quarterbacks Jose Laureano, a transfer from N.C. State and Patrick Bonner, both of whom lead the Mid Eastern Ath­ letic Conference in pass efficiency.

East Tennessee State looks like they might have resurrected them­ selves after a dismal 1-5 start this year with a 22-19 win over Furman. Revenge could be the operative word for the Buccaneers this year against Georgia Southern. ETSU obviously has no chance at making the playoffs with five losses already this year. Their lone chance at redemption could come in Statesboro this weekend. Georgia Southern wrecked the Buccaneers' season last year with a 38-30 win at the Mini Dump in Johnson City. However, the idea that East Ten­ nessee State could even play on the same field as Georgia Southern is pretty amusing. The Buccaneers have lost to The Citadel twice, and have had consid­ erable problems with putting away opponents that they should beat. As if the loss to The Citadel wasn't enough, they lost to Western Caro­ lina this year, The same Catamount team that couldn't manage a win against the mighty Terriers of Wofford, (and lost last year too!) With games remaining against Chattanooga, VMI, Eastern Kentucky and Western Carolina, Appalachian can win the rest of their games this year. However, in order for ASU to get more than one home football game, winning the rest of the games will not be enough. Appalachian is going to need some assistance. And it may come in the next weeks. ASU's 10 points in the first half came off of a 14-yard touchdown run by Reaves after a Wofford interception. ASU added a Stuart Jones 32-yard field goal in the second quarter after Wofford's Matt Mar­ tin had connected for three points from 44 yards out. Martin later nailed a 42yarder midway through the fourth quar­ ter to cap the Terrier scoring for the day. "It was good work for our place-kicker," said Ayers. Quarterback Jeremiah has a positive outlook for the rest of the Mountaineer season, "This team is capable of winning out and finishing 10-1, and we're not go­ ing to settle for anything less."

In addition to working fulltime for University Recreation, LeVeau is a full-time graduate stu­ dent in the Department of Health, Leisure and Exercise Science. LeVeau coordinates aerobics classes, health fairs and fitness workshops, develops programs, orders equipment and supervises employees. In her first few months as a full-time employee, LeVeau has already brought several changes to ASU's fitness programs. Her big­ gest goal was to train personnel. "When I first started, only a few aerobics instructors were cer­ tified by the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA)," LeVeau said. "Now, most of them are certified, and others are work­ ing toward it. They underwent rig­ Mike Daniels - 262-6149 orous written and physical tests." This fall, LeVeau instituted a similar training program for em­ ployees in the Quinn Center's weight room. Her goal was to im­ prove the overall knowledge of each employee. "A lot of these employees aren't health promotion or exercise science majors," LeVeau said. "If they don't know the muscles, how can they work in a weight room?" In addition to training pro­ grams, LeVeau also made a com­ mitment to improve the programs offered by University Recreation. Two new aerobics classes, jump rope and advanced step, were added this semester to bring more variety to the informal fitness program. see Recreation on page 2 Advertising - 262-2157 The Statesboro Blues Fullback Kareem Young Straggles to keep a grip on the football.

These improvements are the best part about her position, LeVeau said. "Every day is a new challenge," she said. "I go back and forth between the two facili­ ties, and I try to be involved with various health-related organiza­ tions. In the big picture, I am al­ ways trying to develop new pro­ grams.

In addition, his staff coordi­ nates the use of playing fields such as State Farm Field. "We organize who uses what field, and when," Bingham said. Bingham also ensures mat fields are properly lined for differ­ ent sports, such as soccer and foot­ ball. Bingham hopes to give cor. >. ol to his student employees.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR We're here to help To the Editor: I'd like to respond to a comment Lindsey Lewis made in her Oct. 13 letter to the editor. Ms. Lewis wrote, "I was walking out of the library feeling pretty frustrated (who doesn't?)" I understand she wasn't really asking, but, to answer her question anyway, I'd say that people who come to the refer­ ence/information desk for assistance have a good chance of leaving the library not feeling frustrated. It's my job, as someone who works at the ref­ erence/information desk, to help people find what they want or need when they come to the library, and I, and the others who work here, try to do as good a job as possible. Admittedly, some people will leave the library frustrated — we don't have everything they want, we can't get what they need in time (did they start their research early enough?) — But for Ms. Lewis to suggest that frustration is the usual outcome of a trip to the library is misleading (and insulting to library personnel!). Further, her assumption that this is universally agreed to be so is troubling and I hope, inaccurate. Martha Cutler Belk Library Thank You S.A.V.E. To the Editor: CAP (Citizens Against Pollution) would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank S.A.VE. for their support during the past 20 months in our struggle against Maymead to locate an asphalt plant on the banks of the New River. Last Thurs­ day, these students gave CAP $200 to help with our expenses. This was not their first donation. Lee Echols has been a wonderful asset for CAR attending our weekly meetings and coordinating efforts of S.A.VE to help us. These students have attended several of our public hearings, traveled to Raleigh with us to lobby our representatives, attended public hear­ ings in Raleigh on our behalf, made signs for us and many other tasks too numerous to mention. Their participation has been an inspiration to those of us fighting to save our health and our homes from Maymead. Carol C. Forman Residence Life formancc@appstate.edu Defending Espresso News To the Editor: I think the only way to start this out is to say: what in the world were you thinking about the coffeehouse situation? Things need to be straight­ ened out before an incredible place starts losing business because of you. First off, let's get the record straight. Tradewinds is not the most comfortable place around. Sure, there are some good things about the place, like one or two of the baristas. That's where these good things end. The coffee is hor­ rible. Who ever heard of a latte made with unfrothed cold milk? If I wanted it iced, I'd ask. Prices are horrible. The university robs us of enough money already. Should we be charged these sick prices for a regular cup of coffee? And we can use our meal cards, true. I'm running out of money on the overpriced food that I need to survive as it is. I don't need to be overcharged on my meal card. Oh, sure, there are live bands. The ability to play an in­ strument and being good at playing an instrument are two totally different things. Artistic? No. Comfortable? No. And INSPIRING? The only thing that I've gotten the inspiration to do while there was leave. Espresso News, on the other hand, is the best place in Boone. Mosaic Books is a great perk for that coffeehouse. Coffee prices are the best. First refill free? I'm all for that. Plus, there is more to order than what's on the menu. The people there are awesome. They roast their own beans. So they close at 7 p.m., they still have the great­ est atmosphere of the three coffeehouses reviewed. So two reporters went once to the place. Being a regu­ lar, things are different. I don't think it's fair to call the beansTalk small and tight. It's comfortable and cozy. The music and poetry readings are great. Otherwise, the review of beansTalk was right. The article was a fine piece of propaganda for the university. More business to Tradewinds means more money for ASU. Don't they get enough of our money right now? Should we be paying them outra­ geous prices for bad coffee? Lindel Jones lj33702@appstate.edu To the Editor: I was saddened by the recent article on the cof­ fee shops in Boone. It presented itself as a celebra­ tion of the blessings of three great coffee shops in one small town. But it seemed more an attempt to wish one of them out of business; and for no good reason. The writers were obviously more enamored with the notion of their own opinion than straight facts. Many readers may not be aware that the rat­ ing system used was clearly based on personal whims. Strange that no mention was made of the quality of the coffee itself in each shop. Espresso News was panned in the first sentence as having a small selection and for not being opened late in the evenings. And it was implied that their coffee was more expensive than the "nice price" at beansTalk. That's strange because one of the reasons I pass by beansTalk is that one cup and a refill there is considerably more expensive than at Espresso News. The other reason I avoid beansTalk is that the service is oriented to a limited type of person. Surely anyone is allowed in there, but don't expect friendly service unless it's your bag to act shifty and cool. Tradewinds is a fine place to sit and study, but the coffee is not as good or fresh. Espresso News roasts their own coffee daily, serves and bags a fine selection of coffees and has a wonderful selection of baked goods made on the premises, which too are more reasonably priced than the selection at beansTalk. I also find it by far the most comfortable environment out of the three. It is not my desire to say negative things about any of the coffee shops in Boone. I would be unhappy if any one of them were to go out of business. However I'm compelled to set the record straight on Espresso News, my personal favorite, far ahead in the running, for a cup of coffee in Boone. Keith James ASU Box 18265 WCU Rules To the Editor-. I disagree with you saying that WCU can not win. I hope the whole population of Watauga County comes to Cullowhee in late November to watch the almighty Mountaineers be shocked by the Catamounts! This year, the jug is going to stay in Cullowhee!!! K.C. Culler kcl0721@WCUVAXl.WCU.EDU God isn't New Age To the Editor: I am writing this letter in response to the ar­ ticle, "In College Life Lies a Search for Transcen­ dence." In reading the article it was clear to me that in talking about "centering" and "transcen­ dence" the author was talking about techniques which are a part of the New Age movement. Sounds harmless enough, right? The New Age movement's main thrust is that "1 am my own god; I have no need to look outside of myself." This clearly contradicts the truth that we do in fact need God. He is our hope. If it is true as the author says, that "...The mind is a powerful tool, we have control of our own destiny, and where we choose to send ourselves is up to us...." What would you say to someone who is lying in a hospi­ tal dying of cancer, or to a man who was wrongly accused but has been incarcerated for 15 years? Would you tell them that they "control their own destiny" and can choose where they want to send themselves? Probably not. Trusting God, through Jesus Christ, assures us of eternal salvation, an eter­ nal "destiny" that begins with abundant life on earth and ends with being in Heaven and seeing Jesus face to face. Don't buy into the lies that you can control your own life, and don't bear your bur­ den alone. Jesus says, "come to me, all you who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest," not "come to yourself, and find rest." Missy Hefner ASU Box 17541 Political Statement To the Editor: This year's state senate race is crucial to Appalachian's future. Each year, our university struggles to find "representatives." Our senators are hostile and indifferent to Appalachian's needs. Appalachian needs strong leadership in the state senate. A1 Wheeler supports a new library at Appalachian and will present our issues on the sen­ ate floor. Wheeler is committed to Appalachian and interacts with our university community on a regu­ lar basis. Wheeler wants to be an advocate for, not an adversary of, our institution. 1 encourage the university community to vote in the upcoming election. Together we can elect a true friend of our university to the state senate.

The Mountaineers compounded their troubles with two on the next Dossession. missed point-after kicks, a missed 25-yard field goal and another two missed twopoint conversions. In all, the missed kicks and conversions accounted for nine points. "It hurts you points wise," Moore said of the missed opportunities. "It also takes a little bit of the wind out of your sails." In the second quarter, Chuck Payne fumbled a kick-off return which Southern turned into three points with a 37-yard field goal by Chris Chambers. Each App quarterback had an inter­ ception. Daniel Jeremiah's came in the first quarter on a 39-yard pass to John Overman that was intercepted by Thomp­ son. "That didn't hurt that much," Moore said of the errant pass. "It was about the equivalent of a punt." Even with the 13-point margin, the game was close statistically. ASU had 25 first downs, GSU had 24. The battle for t possession was a virtual stalemate.

Ohio had not been kind to the Mountaineers who had dropped their first two games of the season there. The trend continued when ASU was defeated by Kent 0-4 and then lost to Ohio 0-6. "We just let them run all over us," said Head Coach Cathy Burleson. "We sunk back after a couple of scores and mentally didn't maintain our toughness." Their first opponent, Kent State, scored six minutes into the first half and then added another with nine minutes left in the half. Kent added another two goals in the middle of the 2nd half and shut down any offense the Moun­ taineers could muster. Much of the loss of focus came from the change in technique from Kidd-Brewer's turf to Ohio's grass fields. The Mountaineers experi­ enced difficulties moving the ball as well as keeping their footing. "The technique is a little bit different on turf," said Burleson. "On grass, the ball doesn't move as much." To make matters worse, the Mountaineers were facing two quick opponents, which played a mental factor. "I think we kind of got psyched out by the opponents' quickness,"' said Burleson. "We went back to old habits." When ASU was able to get the ball near the opposition's goal, they were unable to pull the trig­ ger. "In order to win games, you've got to put the ball in the goal," said senior midfielder Suzanne Fawsett. In the showdown against Ohio the following day, the Ohio offense put up two quick scores and scored four goals in the first half. This proved to be too much for ASU to handle. "We have to take the respon­ sibility to say that we didn't play the way we know how," said Burleson. ASU carried the losses with them into a 3-game swing, start­ ing on the 15th against St. Louis, followed by Cal-Berkeley on the 16th, and Louisville two days later. The Mountaineers regained the winning touch with a victory over St. Louis. Coach Burleson called her team's play "consistent," which was something they'd been striv­ ing to be. The three games all were played on turf, much more famil­ HOP BELK BOONE MALL 264-3886 • Monday-Saturday 10am-9pm; Sunday 12:30-5:30pm iar to ASU than the grass that had given them trouble earlier. "We played very well," said Burleson. "It took us a little longer to get adjusted, however." The team lost the second game of the three to California-Berkeley 1-3. "The reason we lost to CalBerkeley is simply because we didn't put the ball in the goal early," said Fawsett, despite ASU's dominance offensively in the early going. The team bounced back against Louisville with a 3-2 win. Coach Burleson was pleased with the team's determination in the two wins. "The team played hard for 70 minutes in both matches," said Burleson. "We had some pretty bad ref- ereeing, but instead of letting that get us down, we just pumped it up and got 3 balls in the goal off short corners," said Fawsett, calling the victory "a team effort." The Mountaineers will now look ahead to their final road games of the season on the 23rd and 25th of October, against Davidson and Virginia Common­ wealth. "We hope to come out strong from those games," said Fawsett, who looks forward to facing Duke in the season finale at home on the Oct. 27. Then it's playoff time for the field hockey squad, as the Deep South Field Hockey Association Tournament begins on the 30th. The playoffs will all be played at home, where ASU has played well, with a 3-1 record.

Every Saturday, a band playing Jewish music visits the res­ taurant. Just after we had ordered, they came in, set up and livened up the room. The music was great. As I looked around the table at the other students I was with, I could see how much we all appreciated the music. We had learned so much about the Jewish history in Poland. We all had such deep compassion for the people. All of the information about the Ho­ locaust started to come to my mind while watching them play. I felt tears come to my eyes. Our group never really talked about how it made us feel, but it was just kind of understood. That was not only the most touching experience that I had while in Poland, it was also one of the best experiences of my life.

The opportunity to see a city I so imbedded in change was one Ci will always appreciate. Ninety percent of the city was ;; destroyed during World War II. The Old Town was in rumbles, but 1 the Polish people take so much pride»in that section of the city that they completely rebuilt it. The architecture looks so au­ thentic that one could not tell it. was not the original unless they were told. For the most part, the build­ ings aren't very attractive. Most of the apartments are tall and plain looking and painted a dull gsay, remnants of the communism era. The focus of downtown War­ saw is the Palace of Culture, which most of the tourists admire for it's beauty, but most of the Polish people cannot stand because it was built by the Russians. The entire city of Warsaw can be viewed from the top, and sou­ venirs can be purchased. The current changes are also interesting, as Poland is moving to­ wards a free market. There are fast food restaurants like McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell. The downtown area looks like any major capitalist city with designer shops, newsstands and street pro­ duce stands. The last weekend of my trip was the 54th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising (Aug. 1, 1944). It was on that day that the Polish rebelled against the Germans in World War II with no help from the Russians, who were observing on the other side of the river. The people of Poland covered every war memorial with flowers. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War II was truly impressive. l l i c i c d i e t w o soldiers always on guard, and the area is always lit. The war memorial that moved me most was just outside of Old Town. It was a statue of a little boy; who was wearing a uniform too big for him and a helmet much larger than his head, just standing there holding a gun. My internship showed me many things, the most important of which was a culture unlike my own that I can now appreciate and try to understand. the front entrance. It was not until I came to the front door that I remembered there was a code that had to be entered into a security code panel board. Unfortunately, I did not know it. On the other hand, I did know that my Polish host, Karolena, lived on the fourth floor. I looked up from where I was standing and saw what appeared to be her bed­ room light on and a window open. I thought to myself, "Oh, this won't be a problem. I'll just yell her name a few times, she'll hear me and come down to open the door." My plan did not go as easily as I had expected. First of all, at the time I was yelling "Karolena!" over and over again, I did not think that other people would yell back too. After about the fifth yell, people in the apartment building began opening their windows and started yelling back, "Do you know what time it is?" and "Shut-up!" Along with this surprising flood of responses, I realized "Oops. I'm on the wrong side of the build­ ing." I walked around to the other side of the building, noticed a light on, saw a window open, and heard music from the fourth floor. I had no doubt that this was Karolena's place. Feeling, a bit panicked I did the same thing I had done before. I yelled her name out. Of course, the same thing happened again. People yelled back at me. For five minutes I had been attempting to get Karolena's atten­ tion. Out of consideration for the neighbors, I ceased yelling and went over to a bus stop, sat down on a bench for a few minutes and thought of a new plan. There were three phone booths across the street, so I thought that I would call her from one of them. The thing that I was noL aware ot was limi one musi have a special phone card just to use a phone. I checked out the other booths and they were all the same. I thought, "Surely, if I would make an emergency call to the police, I would not need a card." I discovered that I was wrong after I had attempted to call the police. A card is necessary for all calls. Things hopeless because I had not been successful. I walked over to the bus stop bench and parked for several more minutes and came up with another plan. I thought that if this last plan would also fail, the bench I was sitting on would be my bed for the night, among all of the late night traffic, the drunks and the home­ less. This pian was my very last option. It was simple. The plan involved me going back around to the front of the building to the se­ curity code panel board and I would just start punching in num­ bers. I knew from watching Karolena once before that the code nad a two, seven, zero and one in it. After about 15 minutes and nu­ merous number combinations, the door miraculously unlocked! My plan had worked and I had prevailed. A few tears had come to my eyes once I entered her apartment because I honestly felt at one point like I would be spend­ ing the night out in the cold on a hard bus bench. Karolena was laughing, al­ though I was a bit shaken. From this experience, I have a com­ pletely new and personal outlook on issues pertaining to the home­ less. away. Of all the things and places I was able to go to and experience, Prague was the most memorable. Prague is in the Czech Repub­ lic, bordering Poland. By train, it took us 12 hours to get there, partly due to the fact that the electricity on the tracks went out for about three of those hours. Many things happened to our group that just would not normally happen to anyone. What happened to me in Prague just seemed to fit right in with our entire trip. It was a Saturday night, and we had been out touring all day. Some of our group heard about this bar crawl going on and de­ cided they wanted to go. I prefer not to drink, but went anyway just to hang out with everyone. The bar crawl was to start at 6 p.m., and we waited around for a while, but no one but our group showed up. Therefore, we decided to make our own bar crawl. After going to a couple of bars, we ended up at one featuring a Hungarian band. People packed this bar, and seating room was lim­ ited. I found a bar stool on which to sit and proceeded to watch ev­ eryone else drink. The room was filled with ciga­ rette smoke, which I didn't care for, and the loud music, although mu­ sically enjoyable, wasn't helping things much. After about two hours here, I had had enough. I wanted to go back to the hostel, but it was obvi­ ous I was alone in my decision. At first, some of the group tried to tell me how to walk back, and then some told me to take a cab. Being in a city I didn't know and not being familiar with the language, I opted for the cab ride. The center of Prague has a big city square where a lot of cabs wait. Barbara, one of the Ameri­ can students on the trip with me, walked me to the square, and we got a cab. We were both aware of the dangers of being ripped off, be­ cause we obviously came across as Americans, and so we asked the cab driver if he had a meter. He said "yes," and I felt he was reliable, so I got in the cab and said good-bye to Barbara. Little did 1 think to ask him what his meter was set at and how much he charged. After a 10-minute ride, we ar­ crowns off my already depleted rived at the hostel our group was credit card. Of course, the cab staying at.

A European summer, ASU st; With being international week, seven it students tell their storiC' experiences they gained while doing their internships in Warsaw, Pd* IrV$P- This past summer, seven students from Appalachian's Department of Communication completed their internships in Warsaw, Poland. These seven students went to another country to experience living and v. working overseas for five weeks—to experience a culture unlike their own. During the course of the summer, these students lived with host families who are students at The Communication and Media College in Warsaw. These families opened up their homes to ASU students and taught them about Polish culture. : The students were able to work at places such as the Warsaw Voice, Radio ESKA and advertising firms such as Corporate Profiles/DDB. Working overseas gave these seven students experience in their fields o interest, plus the ability to adapt to a new environment. They weren't required to speak Polish, and therefore had to overcome the language barrier in order to communicate. Besides gaining professional experience, these students learned about themselves and each other. Seven students who normally would never have gotten to know each other became the best of friends after being together in a foreign place for five weeks. Adapting to a foreign country alone can make a person very self-reliant. That is what these students have achieved. Adapting to any new environ­ ment is not a difficulty for them anymore. Each student has many memorable impressions about their time in Poland- too many to write about. What follows is an account from each of the seven students about some of their most memorable experiences. X j lip! jfeift I R |Hp «T-' 4A.

(Regina van Leuvan/Photographer) Watauga County Red Cross ranked high in regional blood collections Steve Moser Guest Writer Led by youth, rhe Watauga County Red Cross celebrates an­ other outstanding year in its blood program by helping the Carolinas Region continue in its pursuit of excellence. For the second year in a row, the Carolinas Region is ranked the number one blood region in the national Red Cross system for blood collections. Local Chapter Executive Sonny Sweet said that none of these accomplishments would be possible without the help of the youth. "We collected 2,291 pints of blood in 1997. That is over 700 more pints than just three years ago," Sweet said. With this tremendous increase in donations, some people still don't realize the importance of donating blood, he said. A donation made today could save a child's life tomorrow. "Ninety-seven percent of the United States' population will need a blood transfusion once in their lifetime. However, only 5 percent of the population donates blood. If we can increase that number to 10 percent, it would make a world Steve Pendergraft donates blood at a local blood mobile (provided by Steve Moser). of difference," Sweet said. Recent figures show that the youth are leading the way in Watauga County for blood dona­ tions. Young adults from the ages of 17 to 23 make up 54 percent of blood donors. Appalachian State senior Steve Pendergraft encourages people to give blood. "IfI ever get in an accident, I hope that some­ one would have donated blood to save my life. That's why I give blood," Pendergraft said. Sweet encourages everyone to volunteer with the Red Cross. Any help individuals offer will make a difference in the lives of. others. "The youth have really stepped up in our community. I'm proud to say that the Blood Services Commit­ tee is made up of ASU students who organize the efforts," Sweet said. Current Chairman and ASU student Katharyn Brown is proud to live in an area where young people display loving hearts. "By looking at the dramatic increases in blood donations and the num­ ber of potential donors,Iknow we can accomplish so much more. We just have to because there is no substitute for human blood," see Red Cross on page 2 Array of state representatives address SGA in Touch; Mike Daniels - 262-6149 the March of Dimes, was present to promote a fund-raising effort titled "Boone Bowling for Babies."

Delmas Parker, A1 Wheeler and Kenneth Gottfried, three candi­ dates for the North Carolina House of Representatives spoke after Rob­ erts. All three of the candidates are democrats and have very simi­ lar platforms. Parker, who is running for a seat representing the 40th district, focused on the environment and education. He criticized overdevelopment of natural areas and promoted the need to use renewable energy. "We need to keep the rural character of the land," said Parker. Parker also wants to increase state support for public education. He plans to increase teacher sala­ ries to the national average by the year 2000 and wants to reduce tuition costs for students. He be­ lieves that higher education is the key to reducing the poverty level. Along with his focus on edu­ cation and the environment, News& Sports - 262-6233 Parker promotes the ban of assault weapons and restrictions on cam­ paign financing. A1 Wheeler's platform focuses on education, the environment, and health care. He stated that education is his primary focus be­ cause it is the key to good jobs and crime control.

Wrong. H.E.M.P club member Kate Harding explains, The only problem is that the U .S government also m a d e marijuana illegal, thus preventing those studies from benefiting the sick. One of the main opponents to medicinal marijuana has been the (surprise) Partnership for a Drug Free America. Their theory is that as soon as marijuana is made medicinally legal, it will be made recreationally le­ gal, henceforth causing the destruction of democracy and giving rise to communism (a theory originally proposed by Harry Anslinger, former head of the Fed­ eral Bureau of Narcotics). What the H.E.M.P club is trying to bring to light is that the Partnership for a Drug Free America may be motivated by more than just patriotism when it comes to their stance against medicinal marijuana. The truth is that the Partnership for a Drug Free America is sponsored largely by the biggest pharma­ ceutical companies in the nation, companies that could stand to lose billions of dollars if a non-patent­ able drug, such as marijuana, hit the market. The H.E.M.P club is basically an organiza­ tion that's willing to tackle a controversial issue and show that there are always two sides to any argu­ ment. As Harley put it, "We're not promoting the use of marijuana, were just asking if the policies work." Before anyone can make a conscious decison to­ wards the use of hemp, they must first analyze both points of view, a method too infrequently practiced in today's society.

Setting the record straight To the Editor: This is in response to your editorial, "A park­ ing solution." You need to get your facts straight before printing something, even if it is an edito­ rial. I'm a faculty member, andIbuy my parking stickers for $110. That DOES NOT buy two spots. It allows me to use either car (NOT both) on campus during the normal school day. To park both cars on cam­ pus during normal hours would cost me $200. By the way, faculty/staff lots are one ofthe few perquisites we get as state employees. I'm paid to be in a classroom, lab, or my office, so I must be here all day. Having a lot convenient to my building en­ sures thatIcan do my job, especially ifI am bring­ ing in a lot of stuff to teach my classes. That doesn't ensure I get a parking space. I still have to get here early to get a parking place or search untilI find one in the faculty lots. The parking stickers are issued to allow those of us who have business at the university (fac­ ulty, students, staff, administration) to park. The lots are not public parking lots, which is prob­ ably why the handicap-stickered car was ticketed. Handicapped students, faculty and staff still have to pay to park on campus. Having the state sticker doesn't absolve them of that responsibility. A non-university handicapped driver parking in a handicapped place on campus makes that space unavailable to someone with the university sticker who paid for the privilege to park there. Visitor passes are available. My parking sticker doesn't allow me to park with impunity on any other campuses in the system (or elsewhere), because I haven't paid to do that, even though I am a STATE TAXPAYER and the UNC system schools are STATE-OWNED. Leon L. Lundie, Jr., Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Biology lundiell@appstate.edu Bashing Bielejeski To the Editor: My name is John Cockman, and I am a graduate student in physics at ASU. This is a letter in response to Matt Bielejeski's "Random facts from across the nation" from Oct. 6, 1998. Congratulations to Matt Bielejeski for "Sea Bass," your new and insulting name for an ethnic group you dislike. I am sure you feel almost as clever and inventive as the people who coined the words "spic," "white trash," or "nigger." The point is, you obvi­ ously don't see the harm in calling people names that are intended to hurt and anger them. And while you This same kind of thing might happen ten years down the road, when we do have children who ask questions. And we need to be prepared. How can we, as future parents, begin to shield children from the effects of everyday news? To begin wtih, television must be monitored. It is not a baby-sitter. This is especially true of news broadcasts. To ask media to spare the gory details of the story would not be fair to those people who have the right to know, nor to the press, who have the First Amend­ ment rights set forth in the Bill of Rights. So, what children watch on TV has to be regu­ lated. It will be a little more difficult to protect young readers from the front pages of newspapers, since newspapers are everywhere. But that, too, can be accomplished, in the same way, with ujnsiaiu auuu supervision, and the patience to answer the difficult questions our future children might ask. are trying to think of some hypocritical response as to why it is acceptable to ridicule and belittle an entire group of people whom you obviously feel are your inferiors,I would like to respond to your challenge on welfare ("Bring it on, Sea Bass" from Oct. 6). You seem to think you have found some cor­ relation between less welfare money and higher adolescent birth rate. First of all, adolescent pregnancies may force a teenager onto welfare, but not vice versa. How many young girls that you know factor in low welfare earnings when they "decide" to become pregnant? A study by The Public World of Childhood lists the top reasons for adolescent pregnancies in the book "Early Parenthood." They include low edu­ cational goal, early pubertal maturation, prior sex abuse, drug and alcohol use, delinquency, expec­ tations for an early transition to adulthood, and having a mother or an older sister who was an adolescent mother. The list does not include "state doesn't give out lots of welfare money." In fact, researcher Charles Murray of the Congressional Research Service maintains that welfare actually promotes out-of-wedlock childbearingbecause it reimburses young mothers for having children and relieves fathers and other family members of financial re­ sponsibility. see Letters on page 4 �Pa^e^ There is a reason for all the rules Just as any other university, It actually takes less brain Appalachian attempts, in all ways, power to retrieve your social se­ to make our campus as safe as pos­ curity number than to make one sible. up.

And for all you daily drunks out there, the Mountaineer Escort Service picks you up off King Street until 2:30 a.m. and saves you from a confusing walk home.

I feel a little weird, butIam responsible for the safety of that residence hall. If I were you,I would thank those Se­ curity Assistants for staying up to make sure you sleep comfortably. Just think about how you used to be a "child" back home. College gives you a chance to be respon­ sible and make your own choices; but remember, with choices come consequences. So, follow the rules, because life is full of rules (Isound like your parents by now). Appalachian doesn't make rules to keep you from having fun, they just want you to be safe. But if you do have a serious problem with the rules, see a counselor, also provided by a university that cares. In 1995, The Urban Institute found that white women living in states with higher welfare benefit levels are more likely to have children out of wedlock than white women living in lower benefit states. In the amount of money given to families with dependent children, Texas ranks 44th in the nation. However, North Dakota is also a low 33rd. The low ado­ lescent birth rate of North Da­ kota actually results from many favorable social and demo­ graphic factors, and perhaps even from the fact that North Dakota spends more money per case than Texas on abstinence education. So, Matt, here's my sugges­ tion: Instead of spending a worthless five minutes searching the Net (does Ron's Index ring a bell?) for irrelevant statistical comparisons, why don't you earn your keep by writing about something that takes a little thought and creativity? I even have a suggestion for a good subject: Why it is wrong to label and make fun of other people.

When the students in my classes ask me this, Ireadily tell them who my team is. The stu­ dent body at ASU is very apa­ thetic. My son and I drove up and watched the boys beat The Cita­ del. He couldn't understand why there were empty seats and not a whole lot of noise. Neither could I, because in South Carolina where I teach, they believe in two seasons: foot­ ball and the off-season. You can quote me from this e-mail if you like. The ASUstudent body needs to get off their ACC worshipping butts, turn off Dook, Weak and the other blow-hards and get on out to the Kidd and watch some real football; football where a champion is crowned on the field and not at the whim of a bunch of sports writers who may have their own favorites to begin with.

Get the facts To the Editor: This is in rr onse to Jason Eudy's letter about how Josh Briggs ripped into Justin's article about McGwire and Sosa. Personally, I agree with Jason about the nitpickiness of the gram­ matical critique. I mean, I'd hate to see how many errors could be found in this letter right here. However, there is one issue concerning Justin's article that Ja­ son did respond to, andIhave no­ ticed that nobody on the staff of The Appalachian has been willing to write about it. What is this issue I'm speak­ ing of? Simply put, it is the "facts" behind Justin's story. What I would like to know is if The Appa­ lachian condones any of its writ­ ers, much less the Sports Editor, constructing a story for the paper whose total foundation is based on totally inaccurate facts? Granted, Mark McGwire prob­ ably does have a lifetime batting average around .250, but this sea­ son, it wasn't close to that. Big Mac instead hit almost .300 while putting up a home run total I personally doubt will be challenged for a while. So, what is it guys? This paper claims "Fairness, ACCURACY, (sic) and Public Ser­ vice since 1934." So, does writing articles based on totally fabricated facts constitute Accuracy? I'd re­ ally like to know...

"In feudal Japan, the warrior class of samurai were sworn to protect their liege lords with their lives. Those Samurai whose liege was killed suffered a great shame, and they were forced to wander the land, looking for work as hired swords or bandits.

Moore was quick to point out the biggest difference between this year's team and last year's team is there are more offensive weapons. "Daryl Skinner is a threat ev­ ery time he touches the ball," Moore said. "We do more things (than last year), We've got a guy (Jeremiah) that's liable to keep it and get down the field. He had several key first downs," Moore added. "It's just a different dimen­ sion for our quarterback." Now at 5-0 and ranked third in the country, the Mountaineers are set to battle second ranked Georgia Southern next Saturday in Statesboro, Ga. for what will most likely amount to the SouthernCon­ ference title for the winner. edefining the quarterback controversy Jie fight for the QB position could be a blessing in disguise for Mountaineers e Daniels Itor-in-Chief On most football teams, no matter level they're at, a quarterback con-ersy is usually a sign that a team is iiidering or in disarray. Just ask the 11adelphia Eagles or the Washington T. skins who, after their meeting Sunday, e a combined record of 1-11. Neither team has decided on who will their offense week in and week out. However, the Appalachian State Lt Mountaineers are proving that idea wrong by being one of those rare teams that is not only succeeding while dealing with a quarterback controversy, but is winning every game they play. After Saturday's 26-13 win over the Furman Paladins which upped the team's record 5-0, Coach Jerry Moore is facing a little bit of a dilemma.

I Once again as the Mountain­ eers get set to battle Georgia Southern in a game that will most likely be the Southern Conference championship, there is confusion among the Apps as to who willlead the offensive charge. The good thing about this quandary, much like in 1995, is that both of these quarterbacks are tal­ ented enough to start for any other team in the conference and both are proven winners. Both also have experience; Reaves as the starter this year and as a backup to Baker last year, and Jeremiah as the starter last year at Division I-A Northeast Louisi­ ana. "The way they're playing right now, either one of these guys could come off the sideline and give us a boost," said Moore. Translation: nobody may know who's going to start until the Apps trot their offense onto the field next Saturday in Statesboro. Page 9 Catch 22 Appalachian field hockey coach Cathy Burleson walks a tightrope to recruit players and to keep her team under budget Renee Biggers Staff Writer How can a collegiate athletic team thrive when the sport in­ volved is not played in the state at the high school level? For Appalachian State field hockey coach Cathy Burleson, patience seems to be a lot of the answer. "It is not an easy task," said Burleson in reference to recruit­ ing. "I mainly follow-up on ini­ tial contacts and refer to recom­ mendations and videotapes." Burleson, who has been at ASU for 13 years also goes to the National Hockey Festival every year where she can observe the performance of various players. Last year the festival was held in California and as for this year, Florida is the likely candidate for the festival. Another recruiting obstacle for ASU is limited scholarships. Out of the 11 scholarships that the NCAA permits, only 3.5 ate given by Appalachian each year. The overall budget is lower than that of some collegiate ath­ letic teams as well other field hockey teams, adding another level of difficulty to recruiting topnotch players. As a result, measures have to be taken in order to keep the team opperating in the black. One such measure includes taking only 18 players on short trips to ensure that meals and lodging needs are met. So, how does Burleson keep the program going on such limited funds? She does what she feels she can. "I tell prospects that I offer partial scholarships of $1,000 to some incoming freshmen and that a senior may earn up to $3,000," said Burleson. The scrimping and saving doesn't stop there. Players also raise money for their team by working at concession stands for the Watauga High School football team. "Sometimes we realize that our program doesn't have what other programs have, but we do not focus on that," stated Beth Matherne. She went on to say, "Despite our low budget, our over­ all quality is just as good as other programs. We try not to worry about it and we do the best with what we have." Money may not be the means of attracting players to play field hockey at ASU. One thing is for sure: they come. Many players come because they are satisfied with their coach. "Coach Burleson is an ex­ tremely dedicated and a genu­ inely good person." Senior Sue Fawsett said. "She has good knowledge as a player and she cares about her team and the sport." Although Burleson and the Lady Mountaineers have to work harder off the field than some teams, it is true that they do the best that they can with what they have. The Deep South Tourna­ ment, in which four teams par­ ticipate every year, is proof of their work. For the past two years, the Lady Mountaineers have came home on top. When asked what keeps her here at Appalachian State Uni­ versity, Coach Burleson replied, "The student athletes are a con­ genial group and are fun to coach."

Our first year, ldjust at $1,346,000 worth, and by the end of last year, we were well up over two million dol­ lars worth," said store manager Ronnie Hayes. Hayes also stated that the store ranked fifth in overall sales in cities with one store inside the town limits, and ranked 39th in the overall statewide poll. This poll accounts for retail sales and mixed beverage sales, and the number of stores in each city or county. Mecklenburg County ranked first, followed by Wake County, with each county having more than 17 stores. The store does the bulk of their business during the month of December, with last year's Decem­ ber total being $256,605.35. This total is not too much above other months, which allows the store to have a constant stream of business year round. "Business slows a little from January to April, but business never slows to the point where we are at a standstill," Hayes reported. Constant business year round keeps the store high among the other state stores. The store opened in Novem­ ber of 1986. Their first year went as ex­ pected, but since then, the total of retail sales has been unexpected. Five years ago, they added on to the warehouse so they could keep a healthy stock. This move also helped to add to sales. During the month of August, the store sold $201, 273.47 in vol­ ume, keeping up with the totals for the year. Hayes expressed that the ma­ jority of the business year round comes from the younger classes of people, ranging from the ages of 21 to 35, while during tourist sea­ sons, the majority tends to come from middle aged people. These rankings speak highly of the store, which has been open just over ten years. There is a steady stream of business, and the num­ bers continue to improve. Hayes is pleased with the sales that the store is making. A reminder is that to purchase alcohol from the store, one must be 21. Hayes said that the store does card patrons, so that they can continue to provide a service to the community. Right: The ABC store in Boone is ranked high in the state for profitability (Bethany Parrish/ Photogrpaher). Finances, revenues, equity. Although these words sound as if their origin is an advertise­ ment warning against past-due bills, repossessions and the like, they actually pertain to a key is­ sue on the Appalachian campus— a proposed move to Division I-A football. By making a jump to I-A foot­ ball, ASU would be eligible to of­ fer more scholar­ ships to its foot­ ball players. While NCAA rules restrict a school with a IAA football pro­ gram to 63 scholarships, I-A pro­ grams are allowed a more hefty 85. Although the notion of an in­ creased scholarship maximum ap­ pears attractive, it would not come without consequences. At the forefront of these con­ sequences are financial and gen­ der equity issues. Money is critical in most any situation, but would play a more developed role if Appalachian were to take on a I-A football pro­ gram. Were ASU to choose to award the maximum 85 scholarships, it would also need to grow in the amount of money it raises for scholarships. The Yosef Club, an organiza­ tion which strives to award schol­ arships to student athletes, cur­ rently contributes 42 percent of scholarship funds, said Yosef Club President Gerald Adams. In addition to a funds increase from other contributing bodies, more Yosef Club donations would be necessary if additional scholar­ ships were created. "It's going to take more people donating more to make the jump [to I-A foot­ ball]," Adams said. Taken at surface value, an in­ crease in football scholarships, re­ gardless of how many scholarships are added, requires more funding. Funding is of even more im­ portance when the issue of gender equity in college athletics is thrown into the scholarship mix. Ideally, the ratio of males par­ ticipating in university athletics to females participating in university athletics will nearly mirror the overall undergraduate student body male-female ratio, said As­ sistant Director of Athletics Debra Richardson. 'The NCAA would like for our athletic participation num­ bers to equal those numbers of the students...," Richardson said. Appalachian had a male to fe­ male ratio of 49.7 percent to 5U.3 percent, according to last year's enrollment figures. ASU's athletic participation numbers, the ratio of male athletes to female athletes is 69.7 percent to 30.3 percent, Richardson said. Although Appalachian athlet­ ics, through dif­ fering enrollment and participation figures, do not reach this ideal, they are in com­ pliance with NCAA legislation with regard to male and female scholarship dollars. Scholarship funds should be dispersed according to participa­ tion percentages. In other words, if female athletes comprise 40 per­ cent of all athletic participants, they should receive about 40 per­ cent of available scholarship dol­ lars. ASU female athletes, who ac­ count for 30.3 percent of the over­ all athletic participation figure, re­ ceive 31.5 percent of scholarship funds. Males, who equal 69.7 per­ cent of overall athletic partici­ pants, are given 68.5 percent of scholarship dollars. "We are funding our female athletes, scholarship wise, at least at the level the NCAA wants us to," Richardson said. An Appalachian football schol­ arship increase through a move to Division I-A would be likely to off­ set the balance in ASU's scholar­ ship dispersal unless overall funds increase. Scholarship dollars to football could not be increased unless women's scholarship dollars were to grow also. Six new football scholarships, for example, could violate gender equity regulations unless an equal amount of scholarship funds were allocated for female athletes. An addition of football schol­ arships would require funding not only in men's athletics but in women's athletics as well. Before making a jump to I-A football, the financial stipulations of expanding scholarship funds for both female and male athletes will need to be evaluated. Cost is an issue of importance. �Page 2 Visit The Appalachian online www.csil.appstate.edu/theapp.htm worldsmart IN T H E NEWS ^°rf dS* Poet and hemophiliac, Tom Andrews, will read from his works tonight at 7:30 p.m. T rv.11^ Room as part of the university's Visiting Writers Series. . dent Union's Linville Falls r>r\f tKo nniwprcifv'c Visiting WritPTS Sprips Andrews'. ernrn"J| 1 his doctor-defying risks and the meditative thoughts he experienced while recovering froiT1 ,r,t ^ ee' ries.

Find­ ing the center of my own spirit sparked the energy that had been resting dormant for 21 years. If you simply take a look at your negative energy and your positive energy, you will notice the massive amounts of control they have on your life. Surrounding yourself with non-toxic people and recognizing that you can have anything you want in life will change your perspective and eventually your reality. Control is yours if you choose to take hold of the wheel and steer. I have discovered the mind is a veiy power­ ful tool. We have control of our own destiny and where we choose to send ourselves is up to us. The spirit is the key that will unlock the doors to all our hopes and dreams. The search is less about gaining society's expectations of success, but more about gaining the success of one's self. I call it transcendence because the thirst of the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual can be quenched by simply looking within ourselves.

Better Grammar To the Editor: As an employee of The Appalachian, I feel com­ pelled to point out the grammar mistakes in Josh Briggs's letter attacking Justin's grammar. You can print this as a letter to the editor or use it for your own entertainment. First of all, the month September should not be abbreviated in the third paragraph (although I can't say it's entirely incorrect). Secondly, the fig­ ure "13" should be spelled out "thirteen" in the fol­ lowing sentence. In the fifth paragraph, he uses Jason Eudy jel9620@am.appstate.edu Get your butt to the game Dear Editor: Mike Daniels is so right, and I totally agree with him. I think all you people ought to get out of bed Saturday and go see your school play football. I'm a Carolina fan, but when ASU plays at home, I go. I wouldn't care if Carolina was playing FSU, I would tape it. This year, I wouldn't care about Carolina playing anyone. If I get to see it, good. If not, that's okay. There are more important things going on...an undefeated team is playing football right across the parking lot from me. I was one of the many of those fans that made the trip to Winston-Salem and cheered on our be­ loved Mountaineers. The crowd was great and was better than any home crowd at Kidd Brewer Sta­ dium I have witnessed. I don't understand why that doesn't happen here in Boone. Get loud, go crazy and have fun. I rushed the field after we won against Wake and hugged football players and any­ one else who would. This Saturday, I'll be doing color commentary for 90.5, The App, who's broadcasting the game. I'll be stationed on the second floor at Owen's Field House, instead of the press box, because the game is on television. I will be able to see the whole sta­ dium. And if we don't have a full house, I'll be disappointed. I will come drag you out of your bed or off your couch and personally take you to a seat. Come or .pport your team!!!!!!!!! Will Taylor ASU Box 11783 Clean up your mess To the Editor: I don't know how many of you eat on campus; I myself eat there once a day. One day, I walked into one of the on-campus facilities and was ap­ palled at what I found. There were trays piled high with trash and dirty dishes on several of the tables! While I was eating, I observed the workers as they went about their jobs. I felt a lot of sympathy for them because they were having to clean up some really disgusting messes. Then I observed some stu­ dents commit the crime. I simply can't believe that some people are not responsible enough to clean up after themselves. This is college, not elementary school. These work­ ers work hard at their jobs to keep things running smoothly for us. Granted, the facilities on campus are run differently; some clean up the tables for us and some don't. These employees aren't your par­ ents. They shouldn't have to clean up after you. I realize that our tuition pays their salaries, but if there is a means to dispose of your mess, do so. If you can't clean up after yourself, you don't deserve the privilege of eating on campus.

As soon as I opened Tuesday's edition of The Appala­ chian, I had the opportunity to cringe again. Allison Mackie's musical cri­ tique on the Wyclef concert begins with critiquing fellow ASU stu­ dents who had the guts to perform on-stage before Wyclef. She said that these "amateur" rappers barely livened the crowd, which is utter nonsense. I specifically re­ member one student named Keith who received massive applause for his lyrical skill. Mackie also called Wyclef and his crew "performers instead of musical artists." Apparently, she was absent during Wyclef's stun­ ning guitar performance as well as his freestyle sessions (in which he brought more students on stage to perform). Wyclef and company proved that they had musical skill. Mackie also said Wyclef's band "had no in­ spiration to put on a $20 show." If that is the case, then why was the band openly mingling with stu­ dents after the show? Mackie's appeal to the racial equality was saddeningly hypo­ critical.

It is also interesting that ts about fishing are often on in dialogue form where ^nd Fear—or, many times, ars—try to outweigh each is is the way Norman described fly fishing in his ^graphical book, "A River Jnrough It." ^ Appalachian Mountains t be Montana, but there are •Lm of rivers and fly fishing. any given day, people can ^st rivers in the area and see ermen or women, as some «d be mesmerized by the art at fly fishing possesses. <d an art it is. r* some, just watching people isn't enough. Wanting to t t$o show the same skill and art riesa quest. jp> jpalachian Angler, located a s t Hound Ears on Hwy. 105, a red to meet that quest with •Ration. en Appalachian Angler -Ci in 1987, its employees conc> Fco-owners Haden and Theo ^ nd, They would sit outside <13- eneral Store and try to sell ing trips. ay, Appalachian Angler em- ploys 14 people, and their business just seems to keep growing. Haden Copeland feels the at­ traction to learn fly fishing stems from the long-lasting enjoyment one can gain from the sport. "You get to do it outside, and it's a sport you can do for the rest of your life," Copeland said. He feels that with younger people, such as college students, it's more of an art and an aesthetic sport that students can have fun with. "Most trout places here are re­ ally pretty places. People may not catch a lot of fish, but it's fun to fly fish with friends, and it puts you in a good state of mind. You don't just want to catch fish all the time," Copeland said. Copeland said that a beginner can get started for around $300. That would cover the cost of a fly rod and reel with line, a pair of waders and a box of flies. Appalachian Angler has more to offer than just meeting fly fishing iquipment and advice needs. They also operate a half-day fly fishing school, led by experienced fly fish­ ermen. Edward Snyder, a senior at Lees-McRae College, is one of Ap­ palachian Angler's guides. He has been a guide for three years and says he's been fly fishing for as long as he can remember. When it comes to learning to fly fish, Snyder feels that frustration cannot enter into one's mind. "Patience is a virtue," Snyder said. Snyder said that when fly fishing, the best way to know where to cast a fly is by looking for pockets or pools of water. Where water is moving, such as seams in the river, is a good place to find fish. A typical day with a guide in Appalachian Angler's fly fish­ ing school starts around 8 a.m. Classes are of­ fered twice a day with reservations needed at least a couple of days in advance. In the fly fish­ ing school, a guide works with a person one-on-one and teaches the basics of fly fishing, such as casting, what kinds of flies to use, fly fishing etiquette and so on. The guide teaches casting techniques first. Casting a fly rod is like standing in a giant clock. Generally, the fly fisherman is standing at 12 o'clock and tries to cast the rod between 11 and 1 o'clock. When most people think of fly casting, the forward cast comes to mind. This is simply where the rod is cast between 11 and 1 o'clock with the fly line forming a loop motion. One tip for casting: use your thumb. Keeping the thumb on the spine of the rod and pressing down on the rod with it when casting forward can help to pro­ pel the line to the area of water the fisherman wants it to go. Besides forward casting, there are roll casts, which are commonly used to cast where trees or brush lay behind the fish­ erman. Knots are important in fly fishing. It's not just your average shoe-string knot either. The backing, line, leader and tippet all have special knots used to tie one to the other. Blood knots, clinch knots, nail knots and double turle knots are just some of them. Learning how to cast does not make one a great fly fisher­ man. Presentation is equally im­ portant. The guide will go over flies, which there are hundreds to choose from. Wet, dry and nymph fly ftsiung require unieiem kihuo of flies. Dry fly fishing is fishing on the surface of the water, and wet fly fishing is fishing in the film of the water (about 1 or 2 inches below the surface). Nymph fly fishing is fishing near or on the bottom of the water. A fly fisherman has to learn how to read the water, to know what bugs the fish are biting on and know how to fool the fish into biting on the fly line. The guide will demonstrate fly casting on a nearby river and watch the person taking the class cast and offer advice to the person. By fish­ ing on the river, this allows a per­ son to be out there doing the sport rather than just casting on a yard somewhere. Having the guide fish with the person taking the class also helps to make sure their fish­ ing technique and presentation is improving and being done right. After a couple of hours of instruction and fly fishing, any­ one can be confident in having a basic understanding. Tech­ nique will improve the more it's done. Just like with any other sport or activity, practice makes perfect. Fly fishing is more than a sport, it's an art only to be achieved by skill. Taking a class can be the best way for a begin­ ner to start. Otherwise, get out there and just do it. Appalachian Angler offers a half-day fly fishing school for $75, providing all equipment and gear with hands-on learning. Day and overnight fly fishing float trips are also available. These are for the more experienced fly fisherman and cost around $250. For more information on trips, equipment, rivers to fish or any other fly fishing needs, call Appalachian Angler at (828)963-5050. Free easting lessons will be offered at Appalachian Angler Saturday, Oct. 10 and 17, from 10 a.m.-12 noon.

Following some simple guidelines can ensure that. BACKIMG BACGEl «>. BLOOD KNOT / CLINCH KNOT <o» Tuaue) 1. Always wear sunglasses! This protects your eyes from flies on the fly line if they are cast wrong, not to men­ tion the sun. 2. Don't fish where other fishermen are. There are plenty of creeks, streams and rivers to fish in the High Country, and fishing 20 feet next to another fish­ erman isn't cool. 3. Walk as close to the side of the river as possible. This prevents big ripples in the water and spooking the fish. 4. Cast upstream. Casting into the current and letting the fly float down past you gives the fly less resistance and a more "real" look. 5. Sneak up on the fish. If the fish detect any big movements or ripples in the water, they can easily be scared and swim away. Be crafty! 6. A fishing license is a must! These can be purchased for $20, lasting an en­ tire year from the date of purchase. 7. Practice catch and release. Han­ dling the fish carefully ensures protec­ tion of them and future species of fish. �Paee 6 1 ^cbot>er ••I!

Ridenhour's goal gave Appalachian a 1-0 lead at the half. However things still weren't really in place. "We really weren't playing particularly well," Kostecky said. "We still weren't controlling the ball as well as we would like, and they were press­ ing us pretty well." Appalachian and Winthrop played evenly for much of the sec­ ond half, and Winthrop tied the score at 1-1 at the 74:29 mark. "Ac­ tually that's when we started play­ ing very well. We stepped up, passed around them, and we were assertive with the ball," said Kostecky. In the second half, ASU had two chances to score before they would get the game-winning goal. It came as a result of a free kick outside of the box, with less than two minutes left. Kostecky ex­ plains, 'Two guys were battling for the ball and Jordy ended up receiv­ ing it at the side of the goal, and then buried it in the corner with under two minutes left." Kostecky is quick to point out that some players rose to the oc­ casion when it was needed against Winthrop and pointed to the play of Chris Weddle. "Chris did a nice job, just a dynamite job," he said. Weddle come into the game for Kevin Duhaime, who injured his knee just before the half. With the win over Winthrop, Appalachian ended a two-game losing streak. ASU improved their record to 9-3 overall and 1-1 in the Southern Conference. ASU will be on the road again as they battle North Carolina on Tuesday and Furman on Sunday.

In the second stanza, forward Casey Jacobs added quickly to the Mountaineer lead. The Brunswick, Me., native netted two goals within four minutes of each other, running the score to 4-0. Jinelle James capped off the scoring as she chipped in a penalty kick at the 89:19 mark, giving the Mountain­ eers the 5-1 win. Looking down the roster, the '98 recruiting class is responsible for 17 goals and six assists, good for 40 of the squad's 65 points. "I am encouraged by the play of our freshman,"Popoola said. "If you look at the stats, four of the top five scorers are freshman. Having that much experience early on in their careers will pay off for us as a team over the next few sea"sons." The win over East Tennessee State snapped a three-game losing streak in which the team had been outscored 6-0. A light of hope during the skid came against UNCGreensboro, when Appalachian turned in their best defensive ef­ fort in the program's history, hold­ ing one of the region's most po­ tent offenses to just one goal.

"All [of the fresh­ men] are exceeding expectations," said Curcio. "They all did an ex­ cellent job." Curcio is encouraged coming into the N.C. Intercollegiate Cham­ pionships in Greenville on Oct. 17, with his top seven runners all fin­ ishing within one minute. Such is an example of the depth Appala­ chian will be counting on when they look to repeat as conference champions on Halloween. The women's meet went equally as well, as all but one of the Mountaineer runners set or tied personal records for the course. Mary Jayne Harrelson took first overall, with Laura Walkup setting the sophomore course record in fourth place, and Karen Underwood in seventh. Coach Ben Thomas, who ran in the men's race and placed sixth, was also pleased with the devel­ opment of his freshmen. With 10 runners under 19:41, Thomas hopes to make a run at loaded Ten­ nessee-Chattanooga at the confer­ ence championships. The women have lost only to Wake Forest, ranked sixth in the country, and are looking forward to the championships. "We are re­ laxed right now, even though the pressure is on," said Thomas. seven on us last year, we knew we had to stick their forwards pretty tight. Our detense pidyeu a great game." The Mountaineers have five games remaining on their 1998 schedule. The team hosts back-toback home games, beginning with Furman, Sunday afternoon, at 1:00 p.m. The team will then host Chat­ tanooga, Wednesday night, before ending the season with two of the last three on the road. "All five of our remaining games are so important," Popoola commented. "We have some big conference games coming up against Furman and Chattanooga. We would like to play ourselves into a situation where we can host a first round tournament game here in Boone. I think that would give us an advantage, because we would be playing on the turf, and some teams don't respond well to that surface." The top four teams in the league host the bottom four teams on campus sites for the first round of the Southern Conference Tour­ nament. The semifinals and finals will be held in Greenville S.C., No­ vember 7-8. If Appalachian manages to win in four of their last five con­ tests, the team not only will have their first .500 season in school history, but Popoola will notch his 200th career win as a women's head soccer coach. The Clemson alum already has 201 wins as a men's head coach, making him one of a handful of coaches in the NCAA that can claim 200 wins in both men's and Chris Boyce Staff Writer ASU's 1-0 loss to UNC-Greensboro was an improvement after last year's 7-0 debacle (Nick Greenway/Staff). women s soccer. "It would be nice to be in that kind of company." Popoola said. "I remember how excited I was when I got my 200th as a men's head coach. But, my main concern is our team at this point. We have had some ups and downs this year, but a strong finish would really put us in a good spot heading into the tournament. That is what the team and I must focus on over these next two weeks." ASU volleyball squad defeats top-ranked Chattanooga TJ Thomasson Staff Writer Chattanooga hadn't lost a Southern Conference volleyball match in 681 days, but they met their match Sunday afternoon when Appalachian came calling The Mountaineers snapped the Mocs record of 28 straight conference wins with a five-set victory on the road (16-14, 156, 11-15, 7-15, 15-10). Chattanooga's record-setting streak surpassed the previous record held by Appalachian. The victory also vaulted ASU into a first-place tie with Chat­ tanooga at 6-1 in the Southern Conference. Paula Levay had 24 kills, in­ cluding three service aces to lead the Mountaineers' effort. Devon Greene registered 19 kills, and senior Stephanie Young added 16. Tiffany White set up the offense with 64 as­ sists. The pace of the match was set early in game one as the Mocs jumped out to an early 136 advantage until the Mountain­ eers began a rally. ASU scored 10 of the next 11 points to take the game, 16-14. Appalachian used the momen­ tum from the successful rally in the first game to rout Chattanooga in the next game, 15-6. The most competitive game of the entire match was the third, which saw the two squads tightly bunched at 11, until the Mocs smashed their way to a 15-11 win to stay in the match. Chattanooga then rolled through the fourth game, 15-7, forcing the decisive fifth game. Appalachian was able to stop the Mocs' momentum and build an insurmountable 14-7 advantage. Chattanooga scored three of the final four points, but it wasn't enough, as ASU took the game,1510, to pull off the upset. ASU's defense was led by Ann Leedy, who had a team-high 13 digs. Katie Essig and Lori Schott were the Mountaineers' top blockers, with eight and six to lead the team. Appalachian improved to 9-8 on the season as the Mocs lost for the sixth time this year and stand at 9-6. ASU concluded a short twogame road trip Monday night with a visit to Knoxville to take on the Tennessee Volunteers. Appala­ chian took the Vols to four games before falling 1-3 (7-15, 13-15,15-13, 9-15). Young led the Appalachian charge with 18 kills. Greene re­ corded a double-double with 12 kills and 12 digs. White again led the Mountaineers in assists with 46. Levay also was in double fig­ ures with 11 kills. Leedy set the tone, serving the ball with four aces. The Mountaineers kept their hopes alive by taking the third game, 15-13, with the help of five service aces, but it wasn't enough, as Tennessee took the fourth game 15-9 despite the play of Young. Levay recorded seven of the Mountaineers' 13 kills in the fi­ nal game. ASU's defense re­ corded more digs than Tennes­ see (52-49). The loss dropped the Moun­ taineers' record to .500 at 9-9, while Tennessee now sits at 103 on the season. After concluding the week at 1-2, Appalachian looks to jump back into conference play this Thursday as they host their mountain rivals, East Tennessee State. The match is set to begin at 7 p.m. in Varsity Gym. The women's field hockey team battled both the weather and evenly-matched Catawba on Sun­ day, and came through with an im­ portant win. With recent victories over Davis & Elkins and Davidson, the Mountaineers looked to keep their winning streak alive, as well as their perfect record at home. The team got on the board early as sophomore Becky Reedy scored barely four minutes into the game with an assist from Mieke Menkveld. The assist was Menkveld's first of the season, giving her a teamhigh nine points. The teath added another goal on a penalty shot by midfielder Suzanne Fawsett with 28:41 mak­ ing the score 2-0. The score was Fawsett's third goal in two games. That was all the offense either got, due to the rain. As fans huddled under um­ brellas and ponchos, the teams played indecisively, keeping the ball in the mid-field with few shots coming from either side. The early offensive assault proved to be the deciding factor in the ASU victory as neither team could capitalize on offensive op­ portunities. "We looked a little tired and played a little sluggish," said Coach Cathy Burleson. "It didn't seem like a team-oriented game." The team put out another strong defensive performance, de­ nying Catawba's frantic attempt to score in the last two minutes. "As a whole I thought we did a pretty good job shutting down Catawba and any attack they had," said Burleson. "The game was ba­ sically played in the middle of the field." The Mountaineers out-shot Catawba 12-5, while improving their overall record to 3-5. Burleson considered the game evenly-matched with the only dif­ ference being the early offensive assault from ASU. "We played well, but we could have played better," said forward Chanley Layton, who looks for­ ward to the upcoming challenges the team will endure. The Mountaineers will have to deal with their road woes, being perfect at home but 0-5 away. Things won't get any easier for ASU field hockey because of a seven game road trip beginning Oct. 10 and not ending until Oct. 25. They will meet Duke at KiddBrewer on Oct. 27 followed by the Deep South Field Hockey Tourna­ ment on Oct. 30. For now though, ASU is con­ tent with their recent success. "I have to be pleased though, to get a mark in the "W" column," said Burleson. "We scored early on and that gave us a mental edge." * �OetoW Page 10 > Appalachian News appears in each issue of the paper.

The way things are going, it looks like this game will be the last with Wake Forest for Appalachian. NCAA rules that only allow a win against a Division I-AA opponent to count every four years will all but kill the rivalry between the two schools. However, it is the Moun­ taineers that got the last laugh in this series. "It's strange that this is the last THE time were playing them and we're walking off the field happy," said Gibson. Reaves added, "It's too bad it ended, but I am glad it ended this way." Hunt had the most compelling words about the subject, however. "If they don't want to play us, that's fine.

A ticket tor $5U plus court costs are the penalties for not wearing a helmet. The only way the ticket can be voided is if the person receiving the ticket visits the police station and submits proof of owning a helmet within 10 days of the date of the ticket, according to a spokes person from the Town of Boone. Several students have had ac­ cidents and were not wearing hel mets. These students suffered sig­ nificant head injuries, according to Dean of Students Barbara Daye. "Helmets save lives," said Daye. According to Capt. Larry Fos­ ter of the University Police, univer­ sity officers can issue tickets to people found in violation of the law. The law protects the safety of bicycle riders. Although there has been no directive to enforce this law yet, Foster says that should an accident occur, officers would have to issue tickets to violators. Foster says nijjst bicycle acci­ dents result in head .injuries. Boone physician Dr. Bill Her­ ring said that while wearing a hel­ met may not be the "cool" thing to do, safety is more important than being "cool." There are also many studies that show the majority of bike ac­ cidents result in serious head in­ juries. "Wearing a helmet makes good sense," Herring said. Herring also said a small per­ centage of people, both on and off campus, wear helmets and at­ tributes it to the fact that the law is not visibly enforced. "A serious head injury or death will raise awareness to the point where more people put on a hel­ met before getting on a bicycle," said Herring. The major argument against wearing a helmet is that it in­ fringes upon people's individual freedoms. People who receive serious head injuries general!) become wards of the -uatc, said I letting. This occurs because their medical insurance runs out. "The cost of a lifetime of care is so great that eventually insur­ ance companies refuse to pay their medical bills any longer," said Herring. Most people with serious head injuries end up in a vegetative state. According to Herring, hel­ mets prevent this injury when worn correctly. The university was not sup­ portive of the law when it was passed. The university said that ASU was state property and the law was a Boone law. "The univer­ sity refused to enforce the law," said Herring. Foster said that his officers will continue to issue tickets at acci­ dents, despite the absence of a di­ rective.

Often, this game been the biggest draw of the season for J<e Forest and a game that both teams and ir fans have looked forward to. Sadly enough, the NCAA has made new £3S concerning Division I-A teams playing opponents. The rules say that a win inst a Division I-AA opponent can only nt as a bowl qualifier every four years. It looks like Wake Forest has taken the Mi and ran with it. Wake Forest, in a long -^tory of screw-ups concerning football, eduled Appalachian State well into the t century. The Deacons have already ght out next year's game, and are proby going to buy out the last two games in i^ series. Or maybe not. The rules say that a win can count toa bowl every four years. But they say -^tiling about a loss. Because of ASU's 307 win, Wake still has a future win against a jwision I-AA opponent that they can count ,-vvard a bowl. Why not play next year? Because ASU would win again. The emjrassment is simply too great for them to to a Division I-AA opponent like us. y are in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

In year's past, it seemed like the people rake Forest transcended such snobbery. y were a lot more humble than they are However, it seems things have a.nged. Just who does Wake Forest think they ?

It would have been ridiculous of me to assume that there might be sit­ ting space available, so I resigned myself to a stand­ ing position throughout the entire trip to the State Farm parking lot. That was fine with me. Ineeded the exercise anyway. However, while I was contemplating my place in the universe, I couldn't help noticing the fact that Iwas the only male stand­ Brian Hough ing, and in front of me were 15 females forced into the Staff Writer same uncomfortable position I was in. In layman's terms, they were standing too. Next to them were a bunch of fine young men, con­ tent with the knowledge that they were in a cushy seat just because they could run onto the bus sooner than the rest of us. Ibelieve that men and women are equal just like everyone else, butI was also raised on the idea that women are beautiful creatures who deserve to be cherished and respected in the highest sense possible. Sounds like a great line, doesn't it fellas? Well, hold your breath, because Iactually mean it this time. It doesn't stop with the AppalCART ei­ ther. Holding doors,pulling out chairs, chewing with your mouth closed, all of these things have taken a step to the back in regards to our generation and the males' approach to females. Twenty years ago, we males couldn't dream of getting away with the crap we pull around most women. We men have adopted a new, even more disgusting philosophy towards women.Iknow,Iknow, women don't want that stuff, nowadays, right? Well, I've spoken with a few, and they seem to enjoy having the door opened for them, andIdon't think any of them would complain if you offered them your seat. However, we all occasionally have a run-in with a hard-core feminist who would much rather walk on nails than have you open the door for them. I only have one thing to say to women of that charac­ ter. When we open the door for you, it's not an inferiority thing, it's a respect thing. 1 don't hold the door because I don't think you can hold it yourself, and if I offer you my seat, it's not because I don't think your legs are sturdy enough.Ido all those things because I think you deserve it. Iknow you have to put up with revolting stares, corny lines, and tremendous amounts of rude­ ness every day of your lives. So I hold doors and offer my seat because, if I were in your position, Ithink I'd like someone to treat me like I was important every now and then. I'm not saying that I'm always a perfect gentleman. Occasionally, I forget to hold a door, and even engage in rude conversations when it doesn't cross my mind that you can hear every disgusting word that comes out of my mouth. I'm no Cassanova, and my dat­ ing life is pretty much nonexistent, so I'm definitely not writing this article to im­ press anyone. All I'm trying to say to you fellas out there is that you're embarrassing me, and I don't like to be embarrassed. So please, guys, stop the phony personalities and the corny lines. Try be­ ing honest, and along the way, hold a door or offer a seat every now and then. It'll make me feel better about my species.

The debate rages on in seriously. If you are now having unprotected sex out­ all of our social environments as to the proper way side of a committed, monogamous relationship, then you are kidding yourself. You should line up, singlefile, outside of the newspaper office so that we can slap your hand and give you directions to the near­ est condom. After all, condoms are not hard to find, and they can obviously save you from a world of hurt. They won't run from you or criticize you or cringe when you introduce them to the parties involved. They can usually be found in your neighborhood gas station, probably between the Band-Aids and Twinkies. Sometimes you can even find the interesting ones that serve more than one function. These interesting items probably are not the most effective, but glowin-the-dark male body parts can usually leaa to a good laugh or two. In the end, I hate to be redundant, but we still have serious problems taking responsibility for our actions and our children, and that is the sole reason for teenage pregnancy rates, the spread of sexual diseases, and die cheating that we see in our culture every day.I -s this mean that we should abolish sex altogether? No, and if you have considered that, it's because you probably aren't getting any. Sex is fun. Let's keep it that way. Who else was disappointed by Wyclef?

The band didn't even try to disguise the fact that they had no inspiration to put on a $20 show. The meat of the show con­ sisted of 30-second excerpts from Wyclef tunes that were manipu­ lated into weed hymns, such as, "I'll be smoking 'til November." Did Wyclef and his refugee re­ jects assume that ASU students would appreciate a delayed, half-ass set of songs as much as a well-rehearsed display of their tal­ ent? Well, this little mountain uni­ versity has once again been under­ estimated. The crowd was not at all sat­ isfied by their dope smoking chants that in 1998 almost sound like cliches. News flash to Wyclef: We've been smoking dope for a while now. Maybe on other stages their musical showing indeed lives up to the Jamaican beat recordings and their refugee reputation that we are familiar with. That offends me even more.

It was a comfortable Saturday evening. Jason, Bo and Brent were waiting outside the stadium field house gate. A guy waiting for them lets them in and shakes hands with each of them. They look ahead, and before them lies the football field. As Jason, Bo and Brent walk onto the field, an overwhelming feeling takes over them as they look out into the crowd. They are greeted by the refer­ ees who will be officiating the foot­ ball game about to take place. Twenty minutes before kickoff, the RA. system comes on. "Will everybody direct your attention to the 50-yard line," the announcer says. As the three guys walk to the center of the field carrying a foot­ ball, the head referee meets them. A short speech is given about the 14-year history of their event and the money raised this year. The football is then handed to the referee and everyone shakes hands. Applause from the crowd erupts. For a brief moment of time, Jason, Bo and Brent were part of history. Jason A. Carter, a senior from Winston-Salem, was one of those guys on the field to present the football for Sigma Nu's Gameball Run for Cancer. Carter, IFC President and former Sigma Nu President, has been a member of Sigma Nu since 1994 and has run the gameball for the past four years. The gameball run is not a na­ tional Sigma Nu event; on the con­ trary, it is unique to ASU's Sigma Nu. Carter said the gameball run started in the second year that Sigma Nu was here at Appala­ chian. Most Greek organizations have a charity they are affiliated with. Sigma Nu does not, but wanted to find a way to help out anyway. This is the 14th year the gameball run has been held to help raise money for the American Can­ cer Society. Carter said that every penny raised goes to the American Can­ cer Society. Sigma Nu's goal this year was to raise $8,000. Currently, they are almost at $8,000. In some years past, Sigma Nu has raised as much as $10,000. "It has varied from the begin­ ning years from a couple thousand dollars to now about $8,000 a year. Over the 14 years, we've been do­ ing this, we've raised just over $80,000," Carter said. The idea of the gameball run is to get businesses to donate money for all the members of Sigma Nu to run the gameball down the mountain to WinstonSalem the day before the Wake Forest/Appalachian football game. This year's gameball run started at the Jones House on King Street at 7 a.m. and ended in Win­ ston-Salem around 6 p.m. ASU usually allows Sigma Nu to use two vans to carry the guys who are running. The members sign up for different shifts during the day. "One van load of guys will take off from Boone, and each guy will run about a mile at a time, run­ ning to meet the van. We keep let­ ting guys off the van to run until that shift's done and another van load of guys come. It just keeps running like that all day," Carter said. The gameball run is not only a good opportunity for the Sigma Nu members to work together,but it's also a chance to do something they all enjoy. "The gameball run is a good community service, and it gives us a good name. It's a fun philan­ thropy project to do, because ev­ erybody wants to do the gameball run and everybody looks forward to running it," Carter said. Not only is the gameball run fun for Sigma Nu members, but it gives the organization recognition they might not otherwise get. Carter said the North Carolina Governor's Office has declared that day North Carolina Sigma Nu Gameball Run Day. Thus, they get a proclamation for the day every year. Interaction with the sponsors has also helped Sigma Nu. "It's just one of those events in which you mention gameball run and it's synonymous with Sigma Nu. The run is for a good thing, and people really support us," Carter said. Last year, Appalachian didn't play Wake Forest, so Sigma Nu ran from Johnson City, Tenn., to Boone for the ETSU/Appalachian football game. With this year's game at Wake Forest being the last in the series, Carter said Sigma Nu is going to have to start getting creative. "We've actually made contact with the Carolina Panthers, and they like the- idea. They look for this kind of community service stuff," Carter said. Sigma Nu wants to keep the gameball run on a large scale. Wake Forest was the biggest school Appalachian played (WF is I-A and ASU is I-AA). Carter says that if the Panthers don't work out, the ETSU game might be a possibility. With each member of Sigma Nu getting to run the gameball, each will have a sense of getting to be a part of something greater than themselves. Brent H. Messick, a senior from Winston-Salem, was chair­ man of the Sigma Nu Gameball Run this year. This was his third year partici­ pating in the event. Messick said that being a part of the gameball run was physically demanding, but people provided support all the way. "It felt good to run the ball, because as word got out, people recognized what we were doing and honked at us along the way," Messick said. He said the benefits of being a part of the run were not only be­ coming familiar with the business structure of the "real world" from being the chairman, but also learn­ ing how raising the money for charity affects people. "It feels good to know I am making a difference in somebody's life," Messick said. In raising money for the American Cancer Society, Sigma Nu has made a lasting impact on themselves and the community as a whole. Choosing to give of one's self and time can be the most reward­ ing experience a person will have. It seems the members of Sigma Nu have found this in their annual gameball run. .A.V.E. battles for a better environment Souza Writer 11; was about 3 a.m. on a week and Brian was pretty tired, ^d worked hard all day; spray f11 ing recycling bins was startget old. _ .^Vithout expecting it, a funky took over him and he be^ delirious.

Brian tried to move around in it, but nothing seemed to work. He realized he was stuck and needed help to get out. Luckily, he wasn't alone, and some of his friends helped him out of the uncomfortable situation. About three years ago, senior Brian Revel became a S.A.VE. (Stu­ dents Actively Volunteering for the Environment) member. S.A.VE. started in the early '90s as a class project. Today, S.A.VE. has an average of 30-40 regular members, however, nonmembers also participate in spe­ cial events held by the organiza­ tion. S.A.VE. is involved in regional and national environmental issues. The negative impact that chip mills have in the southeast is one of S.A.V.E.'s regional involve­ ments. Revel feels that chip mills do not enhance the economy of communities because they only employ a small number of workers. The mills also clear cut thousands of acres annually which affects the land. S.A.VE. works to prevent these types of land degradation. "S.A.VE. is involved on the national level by supporting na­ tional campaigns against air pollution," Revel said. The maintenance of Joyce Kilmer and Table Rock areas are part of S.A.VE.'s contribu­ tions to the Boone com­ munity. Volunteer efforts on campus include sorting papers out from the recy­ cling bins in ASU's post office. "S.A.V.E. members volunteer to take all the unrecyclables out of the bins. You don't have to be a member to help out. Just show up at the post office on Mondays, Tues­ days and Thursdays at 5 p.m., Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m. and Fridays at 3 p.m.," Revel said. As a coordinator of S.A.VE., Revel receives information related to en­ vironmental problems. Revel then directs the is­ sue to its specific commit­ tee. The recycling com­ mittee deals with recy­ cling events, the chip mill committee works with Students volunteering with S.A.V.E. help sort out recyclables in ASU's post office (provided by chip mill related issues Biff Farrell). and so on.

But after two seasons in Louisiana, Jeremiah decided that he'd had enough of the bayou, so he went out in search of a school again. Now, because of his love for this area and this school, Jeremiah finds himself in the unusual role of walk-on back-up on a team that already had a quarterback glut to begin with. That doesn't mean, however, that he thinks that he should be the starter. Jeremiah is firm in his belief that what's best for the team is what's best for him. "As long as after next week either me or him is talking about being 5-0,1 really don't care who plays... I want to get a Southern Conference ring," said Jeremiah. Moore, who will have the tough job of deciding which quarterback will play and which one will hold the clipboard on the sideline, said after the game that "ob­ viously one of the plusses for us is that we can come off the bench with a guy like Daniel Jeremiah... He's got a great heart and he's got a lot of experience." "I've been coaching for over 30 years, andIheard him make one of the premier statememnts that I've ever heard from a football player in my life...

The Appalachian Student Am­ bassadors were rewarded for their exemplary performance as repre­ sentatives of the university when they were named a 1998 Outstand­ ing Organization for the Student Alumni Association/Student Foun­ dation Network(SAA/SF). Only five schools recieved the award out of over 30U schools in the United States and Canada. The ambassadors recieved the award on August zv wnue auenuing the 1998 SAA/SF Network Convention at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Judges considered an organization's mission statement, size, history, annual budget and organizational structure inmaking its selection, said Assistant Admis­ sions Director and advisor for the ambassadors Patrick Setzer. The Appalachian Student Am­ bassadors were nominated for the award after recieving an award for the best ambassadors in the South­ east district, said Setzer. Next, the ambassadors submit­ ted an essay explaining the organization's involvment on cam­ pus, their history and their pro­ grams, said Assistant Admissions Director and advisor for the am­ bassadors Tracey Ford. According to Ford, one of the main reasons Appalachian ambas­ sadors recieved the award was because of the diversity of projects they do. Many university organi­ zations at the conference special­ ized in only one area, such as: alumni programs, but Appalachian ammbassadors serve the admis­ sions office, the alumni association and the Chancellor's office, said Ford. Working with a variety of uni­ versity offices helps the students with other programs, said Ford. For instance, by hosting alumni meetings, ambassadors learn about the history of the uni­ versity and are able to use this in­ formation to improve their campus tours, said Ford. Some of the Appalachian Am­ bassador programs highlighted in the nomination process were the group's campus tours, the Chancellor-for-a-Day program, and the Appalachian BB8cT MasterCard promotions, said Setzer. Appalachian ambassadors also host the Chancellor's box at home see Award on page 2 listory professor To SGA: construction, enrollment, Division I-A of concern to Chancellor »^sses away Thomas Keefe, a professor in the Departt of History for more than 20 years, died of z.cer Sunday, Sept. 20 I Jason Owens Staff Writer Chancellor Francis T.

In the first weeks of the semes­ ter, students have taken a closer look at the beginnings of stock car racing and its origins during the 40s. The first stock car drivers gained their skills from hauling moonshine, Epley said. They would race their cars in a circle until a track formed, and eventu­ ally, a nationally acclaimed sport was born. The original tracks were lo­ cated in Daytona on the beach and in North Wilkesboro. "The North Wilkesboro track dates back in history to the 1940s," Epley said.

In recognition of Tom's teaching and scholarship, the department selected him as its Distinguished Professor of History in 1995. The Graduate School con­ ferred upon him its Distinguished Graduate Faculty Award in 1997. There were many other awards and nominations for outstanding teaching, but the real measure of Tom Keefe as a teacher and men­ tor lies in the extraordinary com­ ments about him by his students, and in the lives that they will lead.

He fought cancer for 14 years and did not allow it to limit him any more than was necessary only when it was necessary. In the pro­ cess, he enriched many other lives. He faced his challenges with equa­ nimity, gave freely of himself, and lived life to the fullest, and with real style. As he faced a bone mar­ row transplant some years ago, he told his doctors that he wanted his broadsword in hand during the procedure, remarking that if he was going to die, he wanted to go out in proper fashion. The History Department would like to think that his pass­ ing will provide him with the op­ portunity to visit firsthand with the medieval monarchs, soldiers and statesmen he made the focal point of his scholarly life. They will find themselves in very good company. The Professor Thomas K. Keefe Scholarship in History has been created to honor the many contributions of Tom Keefe. Friends, colleagues, and students wishing to contribute may do so care of the Department of History. Checks should be made out to the ASU Foundation with a note that they are for the Keefe Scholarship. football gamesJiostTferences, andhostsnJm held at the Chanel ^reheld at the While at the conventi0 : sin, students particam, oiuucllts partiri„ i workshops and had an to observe how other °* ganizations condU(M conn,. grams, said president J lachian Student A no!

Although all departments are carrying burden, the people that seem to have it worst are all the future teachers out there j\-%.o are attempting to take classes in the ^1Jege of education, which is so popular that classes are full.

Instead, we now offer the history of [yV-SCAR class, for example, instead of more losses for the suffering education majors rl-io have to wait until their senior years or 4=»yond in order to meet their requirements graduation. Now, we can argue about the socially eeming value of this new addition until cows come home, but it won't solve the j-oblem of class size and availability for obio>"usly more applied fields. Also, let's not forget the Philosophy and ^ligion department.

In other words, if you want to gradu:e on time, and you have a conflict between mes for your important classes, you will 1st have to wait sometimes a full year until ou can get it, if there's room available. It is quite obvious what the university Fficials decide to spend our money on: the vocation center, fast food franchises, and new math and science building.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Hey, you! Shut up! To the Editor: Two fellow alumni and I drove up from Charlotte on Saturday to see the Mountaineers play host to The Citadel. We really enjoyed spending the day in Boone and attending the football game. However, we left the game feel­ ing a bit frustrated. This was due to the band leader's behavior on the microphone during the game. He talked throughout tjie entire game, barking orders at the band and even having per­ sonal conversations and making jokes that not everyone thought was funny. During my four years at ASU, I attended every single home game, and as I recall, the band did an excellent job without having a guy "coach" them over a loudspeaker. This guy (dressed in a black sport jacket) was loud, self-indulgent and a major dis­ traction. Everyone sitting around us was grumbling about his behavior on the microphone. The band is meant to compliment and add to the game, not take away from it. Our band does a great job and adds a lot to the game, and they don't need a guy yelling over a microphone to do it. Jeff Davis Class of '93 Charlotte, NC Sports nut To the Editor: I would like to point out a few observations to the sports editor regarding Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire. There are many reason fans are behind McGwire more so than Sosa. McGwire has been doing this for years. He's had three consecutive years of 50 + home runs, and 49 in his rookie year. It's not just dumb luck. He even leads the league with 159 walks, 86 more than Sosa. (By the way, McGwire's average is .291 and not .250, com­ pared to Sosa's .305 — a big difference than what you stated) Sosa, on the other hand, has never hit more than 40 (except this year). Remember Brady Anderson? He hit 50+ homers a couple years back, but look at him now. He has 17 homers this year. He was a fluke, and, more than likely, so is Sosa. Another rea­ son is home run distance Would you rather see McGwire hit the ball 500+ feet out of the ballpark, or Sosa hit one that sails 350+ feet and barely clears the wall7 McGwire, because it's more impressive. If you don't believe it, look at Tiger Woods. Nobody wants to see the golfer Payne Stewart drive the ball 260 yards, but everyone will pay to see Tiger hit it 330 + yards. It's more fun to watch. Don't get me wrong,I like Sosa and it's remarkable that he's hit 65 (as of today). However, the reason everyone isn't on his band wagon is not because he is not white. David Hoyt dh28427@conrad.appstate.edu The dangers of biking To the Editor: In your last issue, pedestrian safety on Rivers Street was highlighted. I urge you to advance the discussion by considering the safety of bicycle rid­ ers. Take this dare: With a bike and helmet, try to get from, say, Walker Hall to Hardee's. You can do it, but it's pretty terrifying. There is a bike lane at Walker, but it is often blocked by parked cars. Additionally, there are the jaywalkers mentioned in your article. They like to poise themselves for their illegal uasn Dy occupying tne bike lane. All along the path are drainage grates—which pose no problem by day but cannot be seen well at night. You then approach the new stretch of road be­ side the construction site for the Convocation Cen­ ter. Guess what? THE BIKE LANE DISAPPEARS. You now merge with heavy traffic and turn right onto the Blowing Rock Road. NO BIKE LANE HERE EI­ THER. Now you are in some of the heaviest traffic in the Southeast. You can now reach Hardee's, but your appetite is gone. I'm sure you share my view that pedestrians and cyclists are the great heroes of this town. They keep the air pure, decrease automobile traffic, provide parking spaces for others, contribute to the image of health we seek to promote and provide business for as benign an industry as one can find: the bike shops. I therefore urge you to CRUSADE for better con­ ditions for bike riders on Rivers Street and the cam­ pus in general. Leslie E. (Bud) Gerber Associate Professor, Interdisciplinary Studies gerberle@appstate.edu Stop whirling To the Editor: 1 am writing in response to an article which ap­ peared on your Sept. 24 Opinion page entitled, "Mass media devalues our lives," by Aaron Pollack. I am deeply concerned, if not greatly outraged, at many of the poorly founded remarks made by Mr. Pollack. My first concern comes from the first sentence of the article. In his own words, Mr. Pollack states that he usually does not read newspapers because they sadden him with reports of bad news that foster public attention. Pardon me for asking, Mr. Pollack, but are you naive enough to believe that people will be inter­ ested in reading about mostly good things? The media is a way to keep the masses informed of the world around them, and thereby solicit the means to make an educated decision about certain issues that might affect their lives, and to take the proper measures to rectify those items of concern. Per­ haps a better question would be, What made you think that you were capable of making a logical statement about the state of world affairs if you keep yourself ignorant to the evolution of events which brought those issues to the surface? If the dealings of society are too much for you to bear, then perhaps you should separate yourself from them. Secondly, and perhaps more personal than my first concern, are your snide and completely un­ founded remarks about the moral integrity of this nation's men and women who serve both you and I in our armed forces and police departments. Being a veteran of the Marine Corps and an openminded college student, 1 do believe that I can speak rather intelligently on this matter. I can assure you, sir, that there is absolutely nothing glorious about killing another human be­ ing, nor is there anything so repulsive as witness­ ing the results of innocent people mass murdered by other human beings who do not share, nor care to share our sentiments of a Utopian society. You speak of the inhumane response that this world has towards those who violate the rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." However, I did not read a single sentence of yours that pro­ vided any redefinition or alternate method to the way in which we should resolve these matters and prevent them from occurring again. If all you have to offer us are rambling com­ plaints without solutions, then perhaps you would do better at making a public statement on the Jerry Springer Show...like I've always been told, "lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way!" I would be most curious to know of your personal dealings with the horrors halfway around the world and around our neighborhoods which occur each day for some people. Have you visited a third-world country, a war zone, or even the slums of any nearby citylately? If so, did you want to stay there? How quick we are to opinionate ourselves when we are not a part of the equation It sickens me to think of how quickly my gen­ eration forgets the sacrifices made by others so that they can simply read opinions like yours in a college newspaper. And you, sir, are a prime ex­ ample of such uninformed forget fulness. Educate and liberate yourself, Mr. Pollack.

That is, 'Whaaaaaaaah, 1 ave nowhere to park." Almost everybody on this ampus is constantly whining x>ut the problem with parking campus, anu quite frankly, 1 • not see a problem with parkig. The only problem 1 see is a roblem with laziness. 1 see only two kinds of aople on campus: those who -e in shape and those who need i get in shape. This means that rerybodv on campus can either alk or run anywhere they need > go in town, or they need to art walking or running anyhere they need to go in town. I know some of you cringe the thought of actually walkg all the way out to Wal-Mart, it it can be done. If.you do not dieve me, watch the Boston arathon. If a human can jog 26 iles, it should be no problem ir even the laziest of students walk a couple of miles to Wal[art. If need be, you could even ke to Blowing Rock. I'm not here to say thatIam super, in-shape person, bemse I am far from it. I do also ive a car, and I will get in my ir and drive to the market he­ re I will walk there. I also do not get to park on campus during classes, as it is for­ bidden to most students. But when 1 think about some of my friends who have no car, and about people in underdeveloped countries who don't even have roads to drive cars on, I kind of feel that this campus is getting all shook up about spilled milk. I have heard seniors complain that they have to park at South lot, while seniors in the past got to park at the stadium lot. So what? You get to ride the Appal Cart up there, so it isn't like you have to spend any energy to get your car. The people who operate this university are charged with edu­ cating you. The last time I looked in the registration handbook, 1 did not notice any classes being taught in any parking lots. What the school should build, if anything, is more classroom buildings and more dorms for stu­ dents. In closing, I'd like to say just one more thing: Nothing on this campus is going to change through The Appalachian. The only way to get things done in America is to anrioy people. You have to get picket signs and march all around Boone and around tne houses ot tne people of authority and keep them up all night listening to tlje wonderful sounds of the oppressed masses. But you would have to walk to do that, so that is out of the question. Mark A. Seabolt ASU Box 17842 Defending grammar To the Editor: This is my third year here at Appalachian State. As a freshman, I decided that readingThe Appala­ chian wasn't worth my time. Recently, I decided 1 would give the paper another chance. This simply reminded me of why I haven't read it in the past two years. Reading the Sept. 22 issue was a complete waste of my time. There were only 13 articles in a ten page paper (and that's count­ ing articles about legalizing drugs, psycho girlfriends, and landlords that don't care about students all QUALITY articles), and onlv a few were relevant. There was one article that par­ ticularly enraged me. The article to which I am referring is Justin Griffin's portion of "Is Baseball Still America's Game?" There are three major problems with this article: the article doesn't talk about what the' title says, the grammar is hor­ rendous, and the statistics he gives are completely wrong. 1 can't say the entire article was bad. The hook on the first page was very good. When I read, "Baseball: Do we really need it? i wanted to read the article. But, on the whole, if I saw someone reading this article,I wouldn't tell them that I go to Appalachian. The subtitle, "No: The pace of baseball is too slow for today's shortened attention span," says that the article will be about the continued from page 3 pace of baseball and the fact that about this sentence is that the list Americans don't want to watch a isn't set off by commas.

Another thing nitely win the MVP before McGwire. Secondly, Justin says, "Sosa's batting average is better than .300, McGwire is at around .250..." To begin with, that sentence is a run-on. Conjunctions and semi-colons are a writer's friend. And besides that, McGwire's batting average is .294. Now Sosa's is .305, a little better, but saying that McGwire's is "around .250" is outrageous. Unless Justin is rounding down to the nearest 05, he's just mak­ ing up statistics to try to accredit his ideas. And while we're talk­ ing about statistics, McGwire's on-base percentage is .468 and his slugging percentage is .737. Comparing these to Sosa?s onbase percentage of .373 and slugging percentage of .642, you can easily see that McGwire's statistics are much better. Maybe he got his information a couple days ago, but even on the 19th, McGwire's average was .290 (.040 points above .250) and Sosa's was .307. This ex­ plains where his differences in information came from. I'm still not stire where Jus­ tin got his information. Maybe he just came in the computer lab and asked what McGwire's av­ erage was. When someone said "around .250," he took it as Bible truth. Reading his writ­ ing, it's not hard to be convinced that he would believe this per­ son and write these statistics in his article.

Save your head, wear a helmet provided by Andrew Poole Lately, there's been quite a fuss about safety on the roads in Boone. A lot of this fuss has dealt with bi­ cycles and how bike riders arc both part of the problem and the solu­ tion. On one hand, if more people rode bikes, there would be fewer cars on the road. On the other hand, many people worry that when bikers ride in traffic, espe­ cially without a helmet, they can be seriously injured if they get in an accident with a car. It's actually illegal to not wear your helmet in North Carolina. According to the state government, bikes are now considered cars and are required to follow all the same traffic laws, making it much more dangerous to ride on major roads, especially in Boone. Each year in the United States, there are approximately 500,000 bike-related injuries and 2,000 bikerelated deaths. Seventy-five percent of these deaths involve head trauinq. In 1996, 96 percent of the cy­ clists who were killed, were not wearing hel­ mets. Helmets can reduce deaths caused by head trauma by 88 percent. The "Grateful Head," set up by Dr. Tim Ludwig of the Department of Psychology and Magic Cycles of Boone, is an intervention program to make the area a safer place to ride. "Grateful Head" agents will be out this week on campus hand­ ing out free water bottles. Inside these water bottles is a safety in­ formation pamphlet. Included in this information is a pledge card that guarantees a FRE-E helmet (or $30 to­ wards a more expen­ sive helmet) at Magic Cycles. If you already have a helmet, you can receive $15 towards any­ thing in Magic Cycles. And if you don't have a hel­ met, please, if you value lite at all, get one. seats are changed in Hootie's 'Musical Chairs' Kobos ^ "Writer l^oof/'e & The Blowfish Musical Chairs ter two years of dormancy, and the Blowfish follow up sophomore album with "Mu5^ hairs." ^cpecting something differVou shouldn't, crotie and the Blowfish have , had the same kind of caredepression-less style, and ^ 'Ag has changed.

This is how drummer Rick Foley describes the music of his two bands; the Karloffs and Sick-66. The two punk outfits actually have virtually the same lineup. The Karloffs are Foley, singer/gui­ tarist Kevin Freeman, bassist Karl Moretz and Greg Kennedy on gui­ W tar. Sick-66 consists of the same lineup minus Kennedy and with Rob Trice on vocals. Although the bands have mostly the same members, they do not play any of the same material. Band members list a wide range of influences, from the Ramones and Circle Jerks to old­ ies music and country artists such as Hank Williams, Sr. When describing their own music they are more straightfor­ ward in their account. • Kennedy said most of their songs have two or three chords, while Freeman said the bands play "rock & roll, nothing spectacular." Moretz corrected nun, saying, imu, it's very spectacular." Freeman concurred, "Yeah, it's spectacular. It's just not glammy." Both bands are veterans of the Boone music scene. .A-s-v vr y I > •; r-\ 11, J ? -M 6386" Early Specials! Cancun & Jamacia! 7 Nights Air and Hotel from $399!

Each band has had success playing at local clubs, but the members say that opportunities to piay me increasingly hard to come byKlondike, which used tobe the main place in Boone to play for punk and hard-core bands, has adopted a new format since re­ opening and changing ownership. Viva Mexico will not bring the bands back due to minor incidents at past shows, including a time when one of the bands played with hard-core legend Antiseen. "Klondike has closed their eyes to other forms of music in this town," said Freeman. He added that the Karloffs and Sick-66 drew good crowds at Viva Mexico and thought they should still be allowed to play there. Both bands have tried to find other outlets for their music, but it hasn't been easy. "We tried to play ai our house, but we got shut down by the po­ lice after 20 minutes," said Free­ man. "But for those 20 minutes," said Moretz, "we rocked." Regardless of the venue, both bands try to pur on a high-inten­ sity show.

Intensity filled the last five minutes of the game as Davidson tried to even the score. Anchored by strong defensive perfor­ mances from Emily Weer and Heather Gleason, the team was able to halt the Davidson assault. "We've played stronger games, had better communication, but it was a win," said senior mid-fielder Suzanne Fawsett. "We now have to prepare for Catawba." "There were scores we should've capi­ talized on and put the ball in the cage, and we didn't," said Coach Burleson. The win against Davidson wasn't as convincing as the victory against Davis & Elkins, in which the team won in blowout fashion, 6-0. ASU dominated, controlling the ball and wearing down their opponent's de­ fense. The team set the tone quickly, outhustling and out-playing the Davis & Elkins squad, carrying their intensity on both sides of the ball. "We pushed really hard on offense and got back on defense," said Fawsett. "We wore them down in the second half." Sophomore Mieke Menkveld scored a hat trick, and Kim Rohrs had two goals MieKe lMeriKveld gets ready to take as ASU controlled the offensive zone, (Nick Greenway/Staff). through precision passing. "We really picked it up," said play," said Burleson. "We just worked as Menkveld. a team."

ASU had a difficult time getting into any kind of rhythm in the first half. Kostecky said, "The first half, we were not playing our game, which is controlling the ball." The Spartans had no problem finding their rhythm, as they scored again in the first half at the 32:55 mark. The goal gave UNC-G a 30 lead going into the half. The second half was a lot different for ASU. 'The second half, we played much bet­ ter because we played our game," Kostecky said. As a result, Appalachian had chances to score. However, they could not capitalize. UNC-G's offense did slow down a bit, but they found ASU's net for the final time at the 64:55 mark. The game gave VJNC-G a 4-0 wrrv, and Appalachian their first Southern Confer­ ence loss of the season. UNC-G out shot ASU 23-8. As for improvement, Kostecky sees the need for mental toughness. "The team needs to retain their concen­ tration and not to let up, and that's something that we need to improve," Kostecky said. 'Just because you give up a goal doesn't mean that the game is over." Another aspect that Kostecky would like to see his team improve on is leadership on the field. "Leadership on their own is important. They have got to make the decision that they are going to come back right away when a goal is scored on them. That is; individuals and certainly the team stepping forward," Kostecky said. Appalachian lost to Virginia Tech 2-0, which is not the way that they wanted to be­ gin a critical four-game road trip. The loss to Virginia Tech was difficult for many reasons. Kostecky said, "It was a tough game because we out shot them." Appalachian out shot Virginia Tech 15-10; however, both teams went into halftime tied at 0-0. Appalachian's biggest chance to score came early in the half as Virginia Tech was forced to play with a man short. What often happens is the team that has a man short often plays harder, and the natural reaction for the team that has the advantage is to relax. "That is what we did," Kostecky said. He feels that his team relaxed too much, and they could not capitalize on their chances. "We basically did not put them away," Kostecky added. Appalachian's best chance for victory slipped away early in the second half. "Nash hit the inside of the crossbar and the ball came out," Kostecky said. That goal would have put Appalachian ahead, and opened the game up; however, it was not meant to be. "As a result, that kept them in the game," Kostecky said. Virginia Tech scored at the 82:06 mark, and then again at the 82:47 mark. The two goals in the second half were enough, as Vir­ ginia Tech defeated Appalachian 2-0. "It was very disappointing," Kostecky said of the outing. The losses to.Virginia Tech and UNC-G give Appalachian a record of 7-3 overall, and 0-1 in the Southern Conference. I expect us to play better; play what's been wui sirengtb, which is controlling the ball. We also need to finish when we get the chances," Kostecky said. Appalachian will travel to Wofford on Sat­ urday. Kick-off will be at noon. �John A. Walker College of Business announces the Fall 1998 Harlan E.

For the ASU volleyball team, their unblemished confer­ ence mark of 5-0 received a scar Monday night in Varsity Gym as they lost in five games to Furman (6 15, 15-8, 10-15, 15-8,13-15). The Mountaineers had won eight of their past 10 matches be­ fore losing to Furman. It was their first conference defeat since they lost in the second round of the Southern Conference tournament last November. ASU now stands at 8-7 on the season with a 5-1 conference record. With the Moun­ taineer loss, Chattanooga assumed sole possession of first place in the league with the only unbeaten con­ ference mark at 6-0. The first two games of the Furman match were lopsided, as the Paladins won the first, 15-6 and ASU took the second game, 15-8. "We came out flat in the first game," said Head Coach Dave Markland. After Furman took the third game, Appalachian kept the match alive with a 15-8 victory to force the decisive fifth game. In the fi­ nal game, Furman jumped out to a 14-6 lead before the Mountain­ eers rallied for seven straight points to cut the margin to one at 14-13. It wasn't enough, as the Pala­ dins put the game away and won the match. "We had great momen­ tum, but (the comeback) just didn't happen. We should have never let it get to that point," said Markland. Furman improved to .500 at 8-8 and 3-3 in the conference. Markland felt ASU had the better team, but "didn't keep the pressure (on Furman). I didn't think our passing was sharp, and that made it really hard on our hitters." In the loss, Ap­ palachian was led by senior Paula Levay with 21 kills and sophomore De­ von Greene who registered 18 kills. Hendersonville, N.C. native Tiffany White had 54 assists to lead all players. The day before Furman came to town, ASUpounded Wofford College in three games (15-4, 15-6, 15-8). The Mountaineers scored the first 14 points in game. "We hit .370 as a team," said Markland. The Terriers were what their name implies - ter­ rible. "I don't think they played their best volleyball," said Markland. "They came out a little flat." Wofford Kristie Beam and Tifany White stuff the only recorded 21 (Nick Greenway/Staff). kills and 16 assists. This week's Southern Conference player of the Appalachian took the match in week, Stephanie Young, had 17 four games (15-10,15-11, 7-15,15kills to lead Appalachian. Levay 13).

Markland also knows it's top opposition early in the season to get too ex­ cited about a good start. He commented, "There's a lot more volleyball to be played." The next task for the Moun­ taineers will be a visit to Chatta­ nooga on Sunday and a showdown for the top spot in the conference. The Mocs are the defending champions and have won a record 28 straight conference matches. Markland, however, is undaunted by the record. "I think they're beatable," he said.

'Just due to the liability factor and the safety of skateboarding is the reason the university does not allow that to occur," said Foster. If a student is caught skate­ boarding, ASU police will write them a ticket and send them to the student judiciary, said Foster. If they are caught again, ASU police will confiscate the skate­ board and send them back to the student judiciary, said Foster. According to Foster, many people caught skateboarding are non-students, and are often local juveniles. Non-students are banned from the campus, and if they are juve­ niles, their parents are contacted, said Foster. Foster said he has no problem with skateboarding and believes that skateboarders should have areas in Boone where they can skate. "1 think they should have a certain area where they could ride them," said Foster. Foster stressed the need for skateboarders to wear protective headgear.

In addition to the two previous atten­ dance requirements, ASU must also un­ dertake an annual certified audit verify­ ing the stadium's attendance. This certified audit must be received by the NCAA national office following the football season, no later than Feb. 15. Of the audit qualification, Laney said, "We have never had an audited attendance done here," which adds to the list of re-: quirements not yet met. The policy that ASU has used in count­ ing attendance over the years incorporates a card reader at the gates who counts stu­ dent attendance. Most attendance that is taken at home games for ASU is a mere estimate and not precise numbers. Currendy, the only ac­ tivity being done to assess the possible move to the I-A ranks is a study. What do we need? A look at the requirements schools must meet to become I-A 1. An average of at least 17,000 in paid atten­ dance per game for the immediate past four seasons. (The last time Appalachian met that requirement was in 1992.) 2. A stadium that has at least 30,000 permanent seats (The capacity at Kidd Brewer Stadium is listed as 16,650, but in actuality, the stadium can seat well over 20,000 people.) Gold Room may be closed Leslie Hitchcock News Editor The rumor mill has been churning at the Gold Room, an eating establishment in the Plemmons Student Union. The rumor that has been re­ cently circulating is that a Burger King franchise will soon replace the Gold Room. However, Director of Food Services Ron Dubberly said that it is too early to say anything spe­ cific about the change. "We are negotiating with Burger King, and they have had a site visit, but we have not reached an agreement," Dubberly said. Dubberly said that the Burger King corporation wants to use the Gold Room because of the avail­ able space. Burger King needs a certain amount of space for stor­ age, and the Gold Room facility meets the requirements. "They looked at the Food Court, but there isn't enough space for them," he said. The Gold Room lost approxi­ mately $86,000 in sales last year, so according to Dubberly, it would be the appropriate establishment to close. Development Manager for Burger King Corp. Glen Martin vis­ ited the Gold Room in early Sep­ tember. "(The Gold Room) is not my first choice," said Martin. "I have some concerns," he said. The facility is large, he said, but he is worried about the isola­ tion of the establishment. "With the proper amount of marketing, it would be fine, though," Martin said. The next step is to have an operations manager tour the loca­ tion, said Martin. After that, the money. When students were ques­ tioned as to what restaurants they would like to see on-campus, the number one request, Dubberly said, was a Chick-fil-A. The num­ ber two request was a burger fran­ chise. The Gold Room may be renovated to a Burger King franchise in the future (Nick Greenway/Staff). operations manager and he will decide what they would like to do, he said. Dubberly squelched another rumor that the reason why such restaurants like Chick-fil-A and Burger King are infiltrating Appa­ lachian State is because of a uni­ versity ultimatum. It had been said that Appalachian had been fran­ chising out to regain a loss of "The university will still own and operate the franchises," he said. "They will still be student employed." Closer to finalization is a con­ tract with TCBY, Dubberly said. "The university attorney is re­ viewing a contract with TCBY and a pretzel maker now," he said. These franchises will operate in conjunction with The Pizzeria. App Summer most successful ever Jennifer Wysmuller Staff Writer "What did you do this sum­ mer?" This is the first question that resounds on campus when stu­ dents return to Appalachian State from summer break. If yt>u were fortunate enough to spend the summer in Boone, you might reply that you were en­ riched, entertained and even edu­ cated through the Appalachian Summer Festival. The 14th annual festival was celebrated July 5 through Aug. 1 and was attended by more than 25,000 people. "These numbers doubled ticket sales from last year," said Director of Marketing for Cultural Affairs Denise Ringler. This past summer, such re­ nown artists were included in the program as Andre Watts, Garth News& Sports - 262-6233 Fagan Dance and country singer Willie Nelson. "Nelson performed for the festival's Outdoor Concert and ac­ counted for about 9,000 of the to­ tal attendance," Ringler said. Eighty-five percent of funds for the festival was self-generated, while the rest was received as fi­ nancial support from the univer­ sity. see Summer on page 2 Campus Life & Opinion - 262-3W4 �fage 2 Sept%:^ Summer from page 1 Corporate sponsors also in­ creased from 4 to 12 percent. "The festival coordinators, heading into their 15th season, jjlan to begin the season coincid­ ing with the 100th anniversary of the university on July 17," Ringler said. The Department of Multi-Cul­ tural Affairs has been continuously planning for the summer festival. "We're one of the few colleges that has a staff that works year round," said Ringler. "We really are trying to reach out through diverse programs," said Sali Gill-Johnson of Cultural Affairs. "We're always challenged to find a program that meshes to­ gether and works." "An Appalachian Summer Fes­ tival differs from any other state festival because it is multi-art," said Ringler. "We want to offer something for everyone," Ringler said. "We try to do music, dance, theater, and visual art. That's pretty rare," said Ringler. Artistic Director for An Appa­ lachian Summer Festival Gil Morganstein strives to include "old favorites as well as new attractions that are certain to entertain and challenge." With the festival growing larger each year, the Multi-Cultural Affairs Center has created an 800 line and a web page for those who wish to get more information. The web page accumulated inquiries from India, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii; while the 800 line received calls from the Virgin Is­ lands. An Appalachian Summer Fes­ tival first originated in the early 1980s with the intent to put a high­ light on art forms such as the fine arts. Contacts f • "Halloween kJ- - • .

Introduced at the meeting was Bill Carr, Consultant to Collegiate Athletics. Carr will conduct the study on-campus Sept: 27-30. Carr said that there are three phases to a decision to move to Division I-A. The first phase involves a time for fact finding, Carr said. "This will give us quantifying issues to the research results," he said. During this phase, he will talk with coaches, staff, faculty, athletic representatives and others to get a feel for the university, he said. Phase two will center around sufficient support to meet the re­ quirements, said Carr. Finally, phase three involves a plan of implementation. "This is where we will make precise steps and outline a time line," Carr said. The report that will result from the study will be what Canterms a "template in the endeavor."

Some of the other major businesses that will con­ dustries that sell very expensive products and are descend to you are the rental agencies in the area, as aimed at college-age students because the common standard is that we don't have money. The ones that you might have aueady read in this section. They are aimed at us include music, acne medication, make it quite obvious that they care little about your school supplies and soft drinks to name a few. So, living conditions because you are simply an apart­ ment number to them, not a person. I actually had one of the property managers laugh in my face when I attempted to respectfully tell her that my room­ mates and I didn't appreciate it when the owner was bringing people into our apartment to sell it without giving us a proper warning. I had to lock the bath­ room door just to make sure that they wouldn't in­ spect the bathroom while I was showering. Another place where you might experience this same dilemma is in a fancy restaurant. One fairly common belief among wait staff is that college stu­ dents don't tip well because they are poor. Next time you are in a fine establishment with a few of your young friends, notice how quickly the waiter or waitress will try to get you your food and then get you out of there. They will ask you if you want some dessert after you've only eaten one or two bites of your meal. Then the check will arrive a few bites later. My theory about this situation is that I will tip six or seven dollars on a relatively small tab. And then when I return, the service will be the best ever. It's amazing how quickly the word spreads about a regular customer that tips well in a place like that. Perhaps this isn't the biggest injustice that you will experience ir. this time of your life, but it is sim­ ply another example of the greed and the addiction to money we have in our society.

I knew God pameia Formyduval wouldn't allow bad things that all people search for in life: what you're going to do (ca­ reer), who you're going to spend your life with (mate) and what will you choose to believe in (religion). Of those three, I believe the most important to be what you choose to believe in. What you base your morals, ethics and be­ liefs on will affect every decision you ever make for the rest of your life. When I was 11 years old, my life changed like so many others of you out there—my parents got divorced. I continued to live with my mom and spent time with my dad. When I was 13,1 found out some­ thing about my dad that, to me at the time, seemed unforgivable. I wouldn't talk to him or see him, even though he only lived 10 min­ utes from my house. My sister soon followed me, while my younger brother did not. What made things even worse was my mother's treatment of me. She said things to me that no child would want to hear from a parent. At the age of 16,1 heard about this guy named Jesus and how he loved me, wanted to know me and had a plan for my life. I debated this and wanted to 118 E. FISHER ST.

The flow stone is a thick and slimy surface, character­ ized by the water sheeting silently off it. Frozen Niagara, so named because of its resemblance to the massive waterfall, is a fine ex­ ample of this formation.

Draperies are thin, tubular-shaped masses that form when water drips from a sloping part of the cavern ceil­ ings. Cave coral, resembling bunches of grapes, forms in pools of water along the floor of the cave. As amazing as these forma­ tions are, there's much more to be seen within the mountain. Follow the paved path to the mouth of the cavern and wait as your tour guide opens the heavy door guarding the entrance. Brace yourself—the temperature is a constant 52 degrees year round. The door slams shut behind you and the sound vibrates around you. Your eyes adjust to the dim light and magnificent formations emerge from the shadows. The smooth concrete path un­ derfoot parallels the cool stream to your left. Look closely, and you'll see several types of blind fish swimming along. With a massive wing span, the Granddaddy Bat is waiting to pounce on the unsuspecting ex­ plorer wandering through the cave. This " bat" is a stalactite formed near the ceiling atop sand and gravel, rather than your nor­ mal mammalian bat. However, there are actual bats inhabiting this cave. The Eastern Pipestrella can be found hanging in dark corners from the ledges. Continue transversing the winding path and note the many wondrous stalactite and stalagmite formations. Bands of blue, green, yellow, red, black and brown deco­ rate the slimy walls. Squelch that urge to reach out and touch the sides of the cave! A simple touch from the human hand can stunt the growth of the formation by removing nec­ essary minerals. Breathe in deeply and let the moist air coat your lungs. Watch out for the low-hang­ ing stalactites that crowd the passageway as you continue along the way. Note the Wedding Scene formation (complete with bride, groom, and mother in-law) overhead as you round the corner. This passageway leads to a spacious room, known as the Gilkey Room. -In the center is a makeshift "fireplace," a stool and various other man-made tools. This scene is a remnant of the days when the Linville Caverns were used as a haven for desert­ ers of both Union and Confeder­ ate armies during the Civil War. Long ago, these men huddled in­ side this mountain and lit fires to take the chill of the moist air out of their blood. A little farther along, the passage narrows. Pause here for a moment and run your fingers along the wet lime­ stone. It is very cool and smooth to the touch. Ahead lies Fat Man's Squeeze. This corridor got it's name because of its ex­ treme narrowness. Stalac­ tites outcrop and impede the traveler's journey, but just turn sideways and squeeze through. The cave floor gives way to a black grate. Between the bars, trout can be seen swim­ ming in the blue-green. This plummeting expanse of wa­ ter is known as the bottom­ less pit. Scientists have deter­ mined that it is at least 200 feet deep. This "hallway" deadens into a circular room. Retrace your steps and turn to your right. To your left you will no­ tice a massive green stalac­ tite. This is a formation that you are given the opportu­ nity to name. It has been called a decapitated alliga- ream flowing outside Linville Caverns runs into the Catawba River (Richard I is/Photography Editor). 0,1 9 Above: Linville Caverns have many holes that have been carved into the walls over time, showing deep into the cavern.

When proceeding, re­ member that there are three lev­ els to the caverns: the lower, middle and upper. the lower level is comprised of water in streams and pools. The middle consists of stone floors par­ tially covering the water, and the upper level is a grand interweav­ ing of formations, shelves and en­ claves. Walk up the stairs ahead for a closer look at the upper level of the cavern. Descend and round the corner, being careful not to slip into the stream. Another spacious room has appeared. Notice the lantern hanging on the wall. Soon, the lights flicker and are extinguished as utter darkness envelopes you. All is black. Imagine trying to find your way through this dark inte­ rior with nothing but feel to guide you. And remember, this cavern was once undeveloped. There were no graded con­ crete paths to ease the way. In­ stead, you'd be stumbling through treacherously cold waters. Sud­ denly, the lantern comes on, pro­ viding a few inches of dim light. A lantern such as this one is what the first explorers used when they happened upon these caverns. Thankfully, the overhead lights (craftily masked by pieces of man-made cavern wall) illuminate the room once more. Backtrack through the passages you have just taken and your tour is complete. When leaving the caverns, look closely at the walls and you'll see granddaddy longlegs and other spiders. The cave spews you through the door and back into the outside world. Be sure to pay a final visit to the gift shop. Here you can find specimens of the rocks located in the caverns, locally-made pottery, souvenirs and a wide array of gift items carved from onyx similar to the type of rock found in the mountain. The pamphlet, Through the Ages, catalogs the geological his­ tory of Linville Caverns and can be purchased at the gift shop. Remember, anyone can climb a mountain, but it's not often that one gets to walk deep within a one.. Informative, half-hour guided tours leave continuously throughout the day. Tickets can be purchased at the gift store, located to the right of the caverns. Adults $5, children (5-12) $3, seniors (62+) $4. Telephone: 1-800-419-0540 How to get there Follow 105 South to 221 South in Linville (look for the bright yellow Grandfather Mountain sign). Turn right onto 221 and be sure tc. follow the signs for 221. Travel 15 miles on 221 and the entrance to the caverns is well-marked with a big sign. �' age 6 5>ept( Restaurant Review :eS; Red Onion Cafe is Boone's best kept secre 4^ Erik Stubblefield Red Onion Cafe may be one of the hidden treasures of dining in Boone. The appetizer menu is tiny, simple, and no doubt excites no one. It consists of the usual mozzarella sticks, nachos, onion rings, and chips and dip among few oth­ ers. Disappointingly, there are no wings offered. Most of the menu Staff Writer Red Onion Cafe Hardin Street Sometimes the best place to hide something is in plain view. This appropriately describes Red Onion Cafe's ability to blend in right next to campus. Many people think you actu­ ally have to drive a long way be­ fore you can find a great place to dine out, but Red Onion Cafe lives up; to quality dining. It does a good job of making a small area look very spacious and roomy. With an outside dining area, large windows and light col­ ored decoration, the customers enjoy comfort, despite the modest accommodations. ' The noise level is very low, even when the restaurant is full. Most customers seem to be older, with very few student diners.

If you can't find the sandwich or salad you want here, you are not looking for the right things. The nachos plate is much larger than one might expect, serving 2-4 people, and at $6.95, is not a bad deal. The dish consists of heated tor­ tilla chips layered with homemade black bean chili, smothered with melted jack and cheddar cheeses and topped off with shredded let­ tuce, diced tomatoes, jalapeno pep­ pers and sour cream. What Red Onion Cafe lacks in the number of entrees offered, it gains in the quality of food. Red Onion offers pizzas and pastas, but the pride of the large menu are the specialties. Priced according to market, the variety of foods would make most mouths water in anticipation. The restaurant offers salmon, tuna, shrimp, beef and chicken. Entrees are, as usual, served with a house salad, roll and a large smile from the servers. Priced at $11.95, the Cajun Chicken Fettucini is also much larger than ex­ pected. Served hot and de­ licious, diced blackened breasts of chicken are mixed with tasso ham, broccoli spears and toma­ toes and tossed with spin­ ach fettucini with a parmesan cream sauce. Several salad and pasta dishes also support the Red Onion Cafe in boasting a large amount of vegetarian selections. On the lighter side, the Cheese Quesadillas, par to the course of the evening, will surprise the diner by the size of the dish. Priced at $5.95, it con­ sists of two pan fried torti­ llas filled with melted cheddar and monterey jack cheeses and served alongside lettuce, toma­ toes and fresh, spicy salsa.

The trouble that Appalachian had 1*^ i The week before the game, Appala­ chian was having problems focusing on a game with a lesser opponent. Leatherwood noticed the problem and tried to rectify it on Friday with a special team meeting. "We can't take anyone lightly," Leatherwood said after the win "Everybody's mind was just not into it as much during practice this week." Coach Moore said that things were not necessarily all that bad but that "Ev­ erything really wasn't in sync and he (Leatherwood) recognized that." "I don't think we played that great offensively," Appalachian State quarter­ back David Reaves said. "Our offense sputtered at times." Along with the turnovers, Appala­ chian had problems with penalties; the biggest being a 41-yard touchdown recep­ tion by Daryl Skinner being called back because of a holding penalty. "We would bust a long play and get a dumb penalty." Reaves said. "I don't know if the off week hurt us or helped us. We just weren't too focused for this game." Despite their problems with turnovers and penalties, The Mountaineers were able to rush the ball for 208 yards. "With, a line like we have it's easy (to run the ball)," Reaves said. "They open up holes for our running backs." Terrence McCall led the way with 91 yards. Neil Cornatzer ran for two touch­ downs on the ground. Appalachian took a 19-3 lead into the locker room at halftime off the strength of the defense which allowed 25 yards total offense that half. The Citadel's only field goal in the half came after ASU fumbled the ball at their own 17 yard line. After ASU fumbled, the defense forced The Citadel to kick the field goal. "The defense shut them out the first half," Reaves said. "We (ASU's offense) let them have those three points. We fumbled the ball." Appalachian scored their last touch­ down of the game in the beginning mo­ ments of the fourth quarter to take their biggest lead at 26-3. The Citadel answered two series later with their own drive to bring the score to 26-11. After the score The Citadel at­ tempted an onsides kick and recovered, but were unable to score again. Appalachian finished the game with 318 yards of offense and forced the Bull­ dogs to finish with 66 yards on the ground and 154 yards in the air.

The largest concern that students have about the policy is that of the search and seizure that takes place inside the gates. If alcohol can be visibly seen or alcohol odor can be detected on a person, then there is warrant for a search accord­ ing to ASU Police Captain Larry Foster. If this is the basis which ASU and Boone police are using to illicit searches, then there seems to be some discrepancy between the security and the students. Junior Drew Mcllveen comments, "It's unlawful to be unreasonably searched when carrying nothing but cigarettes and sunglasses in your pockets." Other students have also been unrea­ sonably stopped for having only a wallet and set of keys. This can be observed by anyone entering a game. Fines for possession are fairly steep and vary whether you are a student or not. Students that are ticketed are sent before the Student Judiciary Board. "First rime offenders are $50 and second timers are $100," said Sears. Non-student fans will deal with an $85 court cost and a $25 ticket at Watauga County Courthouse. Is there any way students can protect themselves from unwar­ ranted searches? Whether you posses alco­ hol coming into a game may not matter. These random searches could well be unconstitutional in some eyes, so for this weekend's game at Wake Forest, be prepared to defend your Fourth Amendment rights or else leave them behind for a football game.

So that both pedestrians and "^xs can see the crosswalks, the ss-walks on River Street will be tinted next week. Signs will be posted of penalties for people caught violating the regulations set forth by state and campus police officials. The crosswalks on Bodenheimer Drive will be painted by the N.C. Division of Transpor­ tation next week also. The signs will be posted at this location, as well. One possible solution to this problem would be tunnels or cross­ over walks that would allow pe­ destrians to cross the road with­ out having to enter the flow of traf­ fic. However, there are no plans at this time to undertake the con­ struction of either of these. Foster is still adamant about enforcing the speed limit and right of way. "This is a very dangerous situ­ ation for everyone. We will step up our enforcement to make things safer for both students and fac­ ulty," he said. Foster stressed that this will be an on-going operation. He antici­ pates that the problem will be rem­ edied, however. Officers will patrol these areas daily. Student drivers need to re­ member to obey posted speed lim­ its and yield the right of way to pedestrians. Pedestrians must also remem­ ber to use the crosswalks and side­ walks, so that they enter the flow of traffic where drivers are expect­ ing them, Foster said. breakdown posted A project to reno­ vate Rankin Science Building and add on to the existing struc­ ture is being planned by Appalachian State University. No money for the project has been ap­ proved by the legisla­ ture, but according to the chairperson of the Rankin Renova­ tion Committee, Dr. Neal Lineback, the renovation is high on C h a n c e l l o r Borkowski's list of construction projects. "According to the chancellor, this is the top priority," said act­ ing chairperson of the Biology Department Dr. Richard Henson. Since the Chem­ istry and Physics de­ partments have moved into the the way around the building to get new science building, the Rankin from a class in the old wing to a Renovation Committee has been class in the new wing, he said.

"The committee was formed from the various recommenda­ tions of people on campus," said a representative from the Chancellor's office. The Chancellor's office was re­ sponsible for reviewing the nomi­ nations and creating the commit­ tee. The research group is com­ prised of 20 alumni, five faculty who are also alumni, eight faculty members and three students. It is chaired by Larry Nance, who is a retired director of personnel ser­ vices at ASU. Their first meeting is Saturday, Sept. 26. A list of committee members will be announced Thurs.

ACT is ^*ii'zing two trips over fall break ^hich students can travel to Asheville, N.C., or Beaufort, N.C. Both groups will leave after classes on Wednesday, Oct.14, and return on Sunday, Oct. 18. Those that choose to go to Asheville will be working with the Manna Food Bank and the City Seeds urban garden. The Manna Food Bank is an organization that prepares useable food items that cannot be sold by grocery stores or manufacturers and repackages them for the use of people with low incomes. The City Seeds urban garden, an edible park located in down­ town Asheville, is an organization that focuses on sustainable devel­ opment. Housing will be at the Wolf Inn in downtown Asheville, and trans­ portation will be provided by ASU. The department of Student Devel­ opment will pay for both. The only cost for students will be to cover food. Students traveling to Beaufort will work at the Rachel Carson Estuary Research Reserve. While working there, students will be doing some environmental cleanup and wild horse observa­ tion. The horses are watched to make sure that no areas are over­ grazed and to keep the environ­ ment healthy for the maximum benefit of the horses. Students will stay at a beach cottage at Atlantic Beach. As with the Asheville trip, housing and transportation is covered by ASU. Students on both trips will be able to spend time touring the ar­ eas where they are staying. Those interested in attending can contact ACT Director Peggy Setz'er at 262-2193 or pick up an application at the ACT office. The office is located in the Office of Student Programs on the second floor of the Plemmons Stu­ dent Union. The application deadline is Friday, Sept. 25. Setzer hopes that these trips will be a way for students to wet their feet. If you are not able to make one of these trips or want to continue volunteering, there are many other opportunities to serve the commu­ nity through the ACT program. There are opportunities for individual volunteers and group service projects. There will be three more ACT seminars this semester concerning volunteer work. The next one will be from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 24, in the New River Room of the student union. This seminar concerns group ser­ vice projects. A seminar on individual volunteerism will be held from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 2, and another seminar on group projects will be held on Friday, Oct. 9, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., also in the New River Room. Volunteers will receive both general orientation to the program and more intensive training once placed with an agency. �Sept,e Page 2 mher Rankin from page 1 Rankin to provide some space where students can study and work with some of the periodicals associated with our three disci­ plines," said Lineback.

Even if one believes that someone deserves to die if they killed other people, one still has to con­ sider the accuracy of our justice system. This coun­ try has murdered innocent people; some view this as the price of justice. That is absurd. How could one devalue another person's life, as if they were mere road-kill that got run over by the almighty truck of justice. Having only one innocent person executed by our government is more than enough reason to discredit capital punishment. Life has been devalued so much through mass media. The slaying of a particular person has been deemed heroic at times. Of course to qualify for hero­ ism the hero and villain have to meet certain qualifi­ cations that are outlined by television, or clueless journalists of the time. Kids are eager to grow up and join the military sb they can kill. It's the same old story: Us against them. The United States is facilitating the end of human life. People must re-evaluate life and trea­ sure the lives of others as much as they treasure their own. There is no justification for killing a person. The carnage must be stopped. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Food Services complaint To the Editor: chian was meant to be a tribute to a great man and you, with your petty grievances, has made a mock­ ery of that.

The problem comes when you take away from a positive message like that of Mr. Wiesel to make a point that is clearly old and tired. We know your stance on the Greek sys­ tem.

Simon, Incoming President, North Carolina Criminal Justice Association and Assistant Professor, Depart­ ment of Political Science/Criminal Justice simonkm@appstate.edu Handicapped Parking To the Editor: I would like to bring up an issue that not only concerns the Disabled American Veteran, but also relates to all handicapped individuals. As you can see there is quite a dispute about parking. I have talked to the individual (Steve Lockyer) to verify that he received a double ticket for parking in the handicapped slot with a hang­ ing tag. He received one for parking in the handi­ capped slot, a d the other for not being registered on campus iJi the sticker. The second individual is myself and I attend the university under the VA's VocRehab Program. If you notice in the letter I wrote, it mentioned when I had a conversation with the traffc supervi­ sor. The editing section of the paper left out an important detail of that conversation. That was the part of the supervisor saying to me that she wished they would do away with al­ lowing the handicapped to park in these slots with­ out a valid university sticker. One point not men­ tioned in the letter is that one year, 1 received a ticket on my vehicle for being parked in a handi­ capped slot even though I had the handicapped sticker and handicapped plate. The ticket was voided but the fact of the matter is it shouldn't have been written in the first place. In any unmarked slots, it was already required to have the university sticker even with a hanging tag or hard plates. This is in a violation of state statutes of every state (to the best of my knowledge) pertaining to charging for the parking of a vehicle displaying a plate or placard. The only possible exception I would think that the statute would not apply to would be private parking on privately owned land. The university is state run and the parking is for the general student/staff, so the theory of pri­ vate land does not apply here. Randall T.

"After a while, a budget should be air-tight," said Eckert. 1 "Expenses should be equal to income. That is a balanced bud­ get." Eckert said another financial problem students run into is credit cards. He said that whenever possible, pay off the entire balance on credit cards each month. This will prevent spillover of credit that can quickly add up. "Many students have credit and don't realize they are abus­ ing it," Eckert said. Not only will this keep a student out of debt, but it will give him a good credit rating. This is important, Eckert says, be­ cause a credit rating, good or bad, follows a student throughout life. When deciding on getting a credit card, shop wisely for a card that will suit your needs. QCompare annual percentage rates, finance charges, fees and penalties. Eckert says it is important to find the right credit card. With so many ways for students to get caught up in debt and lose their way in financial fiasco, luckily, there is a way out. With just a little planning and time, students can obtain a bal­ anced budget and feel financial freedom. Chad Wilson Staff Writer Budgeting and investing are two things that many college students do not think about. Many students here at Appalachian still depend on their parents for financial support, which can hinder those students after graduation. In a recent survey of Appalachian students, results showed that students rely on their checkbook to budget their money for them. These students simply write all their transactions down, hoping they will balance out. Most students have discovered this method of money management works for them. Junior Jenna Harrold feels that balancing her checkbook is enough for her to keep a budget. "Writing everything down helps me feel more secure about how much I have," Harrold said. With so much uncertainty about how to allocate one's funds, what does a student do to help budget money? Dr. Sidney Eckert, who teaches Personal Money Management geting is they think it is simply a list ot numbers written in a checkbook. "A student is well prepared for the outside world if he can successfully master the art of money management," Eckert said. The reason a person should budget their money is to ai\rr£> Kxaer plan to use funds only within their means. In other words: SFFi don't overspend.

So is Manson still the freak he was before Mechanical Animals? Fret not, for he still is. He's still yelling about how there is no god, "This isn't God, this isn't God / God is just a statistic, God is just a statistic," he's still full of hopelessness, "But I'm not at­ tached to your world / Nothing heals and nothing grows," and overall, he's just plain pissy ("So f*** all your protests and put them to bed"). Can we take Manson seriously now? I don't think so. I mean... who can honestly take this man seriously (well, besides confused, adolescent 1 5-year-old drones)? The man exists for shock value, and this album doesn't change that. Manson even admits in "Rock is Dead" what most people already know- that "shock is all in your head." This brand of music does not exist to convince the listener that the world is really just a gloomy hell, it just throws around some in­ teresting tidbits to toy with in your head. But please, don't let them stay too long. As much as most of us just wanted Marilyn Manson to drop off the face of the earth, we knew it jusf wouldn't happen. But the next best thing happened: Manson got a new image and a new sound that's actually tolerable. Back to the original question: Is Manson only about image? Mechanical Animals gave me a new perspective. Maybe it's just the fine work of producer Michael Beinhorn that makes a good album out of an otherwise horrible band, but the sound of this album is in­ explicably cool. Manson may have found him­ self a larger audience with the sound, but fans of this album will not be obsessed with the image of Mr. Manson. The king of shock rock is here to stay, and for once, I don't mind at all. �Chuck's Miser: hie Rot'en Life bu Chuck Cun^-ft Soar to new heights and come write for Campus Life! r AMD ANirtCTPAnoM, TM6 MAM.AH.-WE uMttiMi, TESTY Nl», AMD RETPSTTMS,*, •me <MYSTO«-y and thc UloMDED.

Kostecky was -lc to point out that he has been Ls ed with the play of Kevin Duhaime, d Baker, Wes Miller, and Josh Mazur. are the four key defenders for us," Kostecky said. He believes that the win over Elon was the best complete game that his team has played so far this year. "We were smart offensively by bringing the ball to the back, and setting up our chances from there. De­ fensively, we played very well. Will Floyd and Robert Black both made some big saves in goal. It was just a good game for us overall," said Kostecky. A large factor in the win Appalachian devastated Elon in shots, out-shooting Elon 30-7. As a result, Elon's goalies were forced to make10 saves, while Eric Gibney, Will Floyd, and Robert Black only faced four shots combined. Appalachian continued their winning ways by defeating rival UNC Asheville 1-0 in a physical contest. UNCA defeated Appalachian 1-0 last year, adding fire to an already fierce ri­ valry between the two mountain schools. "This is a very intense rival and a chal­ lenging match for us," said Kostecky. Both teams played even the first half with neither team having an advantage. Despite Appalachian's constant attacks on Asheville's goal, the results were not there. Kostecky explains, "We had trouble get­ ting behind their [defensive] backs." Another reason for the lack of scor­ ing in the first half by Appalachian was the defensive pressure that UNCA was ex­ erting on the Mountaineers. "We had to withstand a lot of pressure and I am pleased with the way that we handled that," said Kostecky. It was obvious that the Mountaineers had to make some adjustments at the half, which soon paid off. The Mountaineers made two key adjustments; one on de­ fense, and one on offense. Defensively, Kostecky used freshman Chris Weddle to play defense in the midfield. "Chris did an excellent job to­ night for us," Kostecky com­ mented. On the offensive side of the ball, Appalachian started passing differently. "The first half we were going to direct to the net," Kostecky admitted. This strategy paid off for the Mountaineers. Broder continued his scoring streak by slipping past the defense, then netting his fourth goal of the season. Sopho­ more Gabe Story won the ball, took it to the flag, and then found Broder waiting. The goal came at the 53:31 mark. Broder has al­ ready tallied 12 points this year, leading Appalachian. Broder's goal gave Appalachian their sixth victory of the year. UNCA left Boone as all the teams have so far; with a loss, and a goose egg on the scoreboard. Goalie Eric Gibney has only allowed four goals total this year, two against High Point, one against Wright State, and one against Ken­ tucky. " This start is out­ standing," Kostecky said. "We just take one game at a time," he said. "I think it is good for us to pause, and think about what we have ac­ complished," Kostecky said. "This program has such a rich history, and it is nice to come in here and see this team start off so quick. However, if we want to continue to build as a unit and as a program, we still need to take them one game at a time," he said. However, the next four games on the road will give Appalachian the best feel for just how good this 7-1 team is. "The most difficult stretch is coming up, and it's nice to play the best teams first be­ cause it will tell us where we stand," . he said. Appalachian will play their next four game on the road at Virginia Tech, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Winthrop, and Wofford.

The Mountaineers got on the board early, as junior defender Katie Hand blasted a penalty kick at the 8:57 mark. This came just one game af­ ter Appalachian missed a crucial penalty boot in a 3-1 loss to Charleston Southern. Freshman forward Casey Jacobs and Osborne then con­ nected on goals 16 minutes apart, giving the Mountaineers a 3-0 halftime lead. Following the intermission, Appalachian's defense took over, as the squad only allowed one Lib erty shot on goal. Appalachian travels to Davidson tomorrow afternoon, at 4 p.m., to take on the Wildcats in Southern Conference action. After downing College of Charleston in the league opener, the Mountaineers will look to go 2-0 in conference play for the first time in school history. "This is a big game for us," Popoola said. "We would love to start out the conference season with two wins. This league is so competitive, top to bottom, that everyone needs to get every win they can get." Cross country squads take first at Davidson Jared Kavlock Staff Writer In a potential preview of the upcoming Southern Conference Championships, both the men's and women's cross country teams took first place in last weekend's Davidson Invitational. The meet was the first oppbrtunity for Appalachian run­ ners to race Davidson's course, where the conference title will be decided on Oct. 31. It also gave the teams a chance to size up their opposition. The men gained their victory by way of their depth, finishing 12 runners in the top 31 despite not having anyone in the top four. The top runners led their teams to the second and third places, as Western Carolina ended up second, 11 points be­ hind Appalachian, while East Tennessee State took third. "Western, Eastern Tennes­ see, Chattanooga, and ourselves all could win it, and any could finish fourth," said Coach Michael Curcio. "Everyone needs to step it up a notch and gain a little intensity." Now that the Mountaineers have had a chance to see Davidson's course, they know what to expect come conference, according to Curcio. The coach is hoping that his team is able to balance their depth with top three finisers, something he feels they will need in conference, especially to beat Chattanooga. "It's all a matter of man-to­ man," said Curcio, "whether we can keep up throughout the race." The women, meanwhile, eas­ ily took first place, beating sec­ ond-place Furman by 26 points. Four Mountaineers made the top 10, and eight were in the top 20. As in the men's meet, two of the top teams did not take part in the meet. The top two teams from last year's Southern Conference Championships, Eastern Tennes­ see State and Tennessee-Chatta­ nooga, did not run in the Davidson meet. While the Appalachian coaches feel that the teams who have not seen the Davidson course will be at a disadvantage at the championships, ETSU and UT-Chattanooga are very good teams who cannot be counted out. With a better grasp on what they believe is a harder course than they are used to, the coaches of Appalachian's cross country teams feel their chances for October's championship have in­ creased. �Vbur Neighborhood Food Market H-ww.hanisteeter.com OF THE BEST MINDS IN AMERICA HAVE ALREADY CHOSEN THE BEST RETIREMENT SYSTEM New Crop k Apples YourCholoe •RedOfGoiCJ D*«cicxjs •Mcintosh •Gala •Granny Smith •Empire •Corflana •Eastern Grown Rome Red or i TIAA-CREF.

Appalachian students are limbing, kayaking and team ,C t^uilding more than they were a , -yrear ago. Over the 1997-1998 school •ear, Appalachian's Outdoor Proams experienced an increase— o the tune of a 23 percent timp—in student involvement. More students participated ra open-enrollment trips and challenge courses with ASU's utdoor Programs last year. The partnership between the niversity and its outdoor prorams spans back to the midS>70s. The late Dr. Jim Jackson, anting to see more opportuniies for experiential education at SU, helped get the outdoor proxams project off the ground. "Dr. Jackson had always been a strong proponent of experien­ tial education and had a strong love of the outdoors and wanted to combine the two in a studenttun organization for ASU stu­ dents," said outdoor programs • Leslie Hitchcock News Editor coordinator Rich Campbell. Over the years, Outdoor Pro­ grams remained rooted in expe­ riential education and student development. Through Outdoor Programs, t»oth students who participate in its activities, as well as the students who lead them, can de­ velop skills, said Campbell. Approximately 35 students re employed by Outdoor Prorams, and over 2,500 people participate in its activities each ;year. The activities offered tlnrough Outdoor Programs t»xeak down into three different a reas, land-based programs, wa: ter-based programs and chal- I-A football committee set to meet Saturday Outdoor Programs apprentice Matt Lemmerman climbs over rocks on the Boone Scout Trail on an Outdoor Programs day hike Sept. 20 (Andy Way/Staff). lenge courses. Rock climbing, hiking and back packing are all land-based activities, while canoeing and kayaking are water-based. Any teamwork and leadershipbuilding activities fall under the umbrella of challenge courses. Students and faculty also have an option to rent equipment from Outdoor Programs. Several factors contributed to the 23 percent increase in student participation in Outdoor Pro­ grams. Taking on extra personnel was a way in which Outdoor Programs was able to grow and improve. "We have three full-time coordina­ tors now, so we are able to do more programs...," said Campbell. Campbell, who organizes all ~^he participants in the day hike admire the view from Storyteller's Rock on the Boone ^cout Trail (Andy Way/Staff). A resolution was approved to research the feasibility of develop­ ing a I-A football program at ASU during the Board of Trustees meet­ ing on Friday, Sept. 11. "This is not a recommenda­ tion, but a study group," said Board of Trustees member David Edminston. "A recommendation will hopefully come out of it," he said. The research group is com­ prised of 38 mem­ bers who are stu­ dents, faculty and alumni. An outside consultant will be appointed to assist the committee with the recommendation. After meeting with the con­ sultant on Sept. 26, the recommen­ dation will appear again before the Board of Trustees. "The funds that provide the consultant are coming out of the athletic department funding," Edminston said. The Board of Trustees is pleased with the progress that will be made on the study. "We're mov­ ing on a good track, and I'm pleased with where we are," said Board of Trustees Chairman Bryan Houck. Alumnus Doug Glenn, of Pauline, S.C., who serves on the research committee, sees the mo­ tion as helpful to the university. "We're not trying to sacrifice aca­ demics for athletics," Glenn said. He said that a move to I-A would bring the athletic program up to the same caliber that aca­ demics are. Glenn feels that going to a Di­ vision I-A football program would help Appalachian. "(When a school is I-A) it gives the school exposure that you can­ not put a price tag on," he said. "Athletics makes a school more marketable," Glenn said. "There­ fore, to go to Divi­ sion I-A would mar­ ket the school more effectively." Additionally, Glenn said that he is not advocating that Appalachian join the ACC or SEC, but that he still thinks that upgrading the football program would be beneficial. However, not all are as excited with the idea as the Trustees and alumni are. Faculty Senate Chair Dr. Howard Neufeld said that he has yet to meet faculty who are in fa­ vor of the progression. "The only people that I know who are in favor of it are alumni," Neufeld said. "When the Board of Trustees publicizes its findings, the Faculty Senate will issue its own opinion," Neufeld said. Additionally, the Faculty Sen­ ate has formed an ad hoc commit­ tee to study the role of athletics in relation to the academic mission of the university. team building activities, works alongside Joe Quinn, who heads up all land-based programs, and water-based program coordinator Brent Cochran. The addition of extended trips also helped fuel the jump in stu­ dent participation. "The area that we have actu­ ally grown in, part of the 23 per­ cent, has been the extended trips," Campbell said.

"The loop run consists of con­ tributing school organizations run­ ning with the gameball and pass­ ing it to the first Sigma Nu runner, who then proceeds down the mountain," said Carter. The ball is an actual Appala­ chian State football given to Sigma Nu by the Appalachian State Ath­ letic Department. At the start of the Appalachian State-Wake Forest football game on Oct. 3, the ball will be presented to game officials at midfield with a small cermony stating all the contributors names. According to Carter, the run is sponsored by both corporations and school organizations. For a corporation to become a sponsor, they must contribute $250 or more to Sigma Nu. "A school organization can donate $100 or more to be a sponsor," said Carter. All proceeds from the sponsors are then given to the American Cancer Society. The corporations also receive two tickets to the game and their names on a t-shirt.

Deadline: Friday October 9th * �Li'prember 22,1998 The Appalachian Fairness, Accuracy and Public Service since 1934 The lesser of two evils Isn't this what politics has come down to recently? When was the last time you voted for someone that you felt confident about? When was the last time you voted at all? Politics in the last 30 years has become a game of proving that you are the least un­ trustworthy. Since the common person doesn't seem to understand the job respon­ sibilities of most of our elected officials, and since we generally hear about the negative exploits of these men and women, our abil­ ity to trust politicians has lessened tremen­ dously. We now tend to label them, and their rofessions, as being greed-driven and >ower-hungry. Perhaps another reason that we don't iave trust in these individuals is that many :ome from a legal background, and we are lot too confident in lawyers right now. These feelings have reached a new ieight recently with the extensive media overage ot our president and what he ap•arently likes to do for fun when Hillary is 'Ut of town. We have been forced into a lightly different position where we have to :valuate if and how a public official's priate life will affect his or her job and public tanding. Of course, because of our judgmental :haracter, we do tend to criticize the presi!ent and other leaders for their acts of adulery which really have nothing to do with ow the executive branch goes about its pro­ fessional duties. So then, we must ask ourselves how im•ortant our standards of morality are when re are choosing our leaders. How impor­ tant are their religious beliefs? How strucnred is their family? Is it possible for them o be the best representative of our convicions? When you add the reality that most canidates for high offices now are so moder:e about their beliefs, our pride in making le correct choice in a candidate dwindles ito choosing who we hate least, rather than who will best lead. The most depressing part of this dilemma that a solution does not appear to be on ie horizon. And unless we change the struc­ ture of the two-party system, we probably won't see the types of leaders that we desire win office.

And finally, if she tries to ruin the lives of the people you care about, she might be a psycho. Don't worry guys, here is my list of things to do when you are associated with girls like this: 1. Ignore their attempts to destroy you. Do not show any concern for their actions (unless, of course, the paint thinner thing happens). 2. Always warn your new girlfriends about the possible interference from the psycho. 3. Always be honest with the girl that is bother­ ing you. Be blunt and to the point, and do not lead her on with any ideas that might not be foundtd on your own. 4. If necessary, get her parents or a law enforce­ ment official involved. Ladies, do not be angry. Not all of you are evil. I'm also not saying that males are the victims. Hell, we screw more relationships than you all do. But, once in a while, some females can't handle relation­ ships of even the simplest kind, and these females scare me.

The final reason I believe that landlords are mis­ anthropes relates to the sheer unabashed ugliness of the apartments here in Boone.

Huecos are good climbing holds for your hands and feet. You will notice gymnastic chalk around and inside these fea­ tures. Some climbers use chalk to prevent them from "greasing" off the holds. iuu might even run into some climbers on your hike. Their lan­ guage may be riddled with phrases such as, "Snag the crimper," "Crank it, man," "Throw a dyno," and, "Milk it, dude." But hey, by the end of the hike, you might have incorpo­ rated a whole new terminol­ ogy into your vocabulary. Continue to walk up, always merging to the right. Initially, you might have to do some tech­ nical rock hop­ ping. The ground is covered with roots and vari­ ous types of veg­ etation, so make sure you stick with the existing path to avoid impacting the surrounding landscape. Once you reach a boulder that looks like a mushroom, go around it to the left side, and you will find the overlook. Grandfather sil­ houette and Sugar Mountain are part of the scenery seen at the top. un the other hand, some students may want to go right where the trail forks. If you feel like you have been smok­ ing too many cigarettes lately, or have not exer­ cised for as long as you can re­ member, perhaps this is the route for you. The beginning is slightly up­ hill. However, the overlook area is a shorter distance away. You will also hike around areas with high humidity levels, so be ready to sweat. Herb and shrub communities dominate the first part of the hill­ side. As you gain some elevation, trees take over the landscape. On your way down, try to stay on the left side of the trail. Beware of where you walk, because the trail drops off in some places. One thing to keep in mind is that there is private property around the Blowing Rock Boul­ ders. Avoid being loud so that ac­ cess to the area will not be re­ stricted. Littering is totally unac­ ceptable, so do not leave any traces behind you as you go. Remember that treading lightly through this natural resource will assure future access to those who follow.

One view from the top is Grandfather Mountain, one of the high country's biggest attractions.

The reason a lot of fans will give is that McGwire was the first to break Roger Maris' record of 61 home runs. Yeah right. When Sosa smacks a home run, it can wait until the 11 p.m. version of Sports Center. When ol' whitey hits a home run it can't wait. Either Fox Sports South or ESPN will preempt the broadcast for an update. It's really a shame. If there was ever a man that typified the American dream, it's Sosa. He came to this country selling or­ anges and polishing shoes. Now Sosa makes more money than any­ one he ever shined shoes for. Sosa and his family have known the kind of poverty that many of us will never even begin to compre­ hend. McGwire came from the typi­ cal middle class American family. Images from the show "Leave it to Beaver" come to mind. That's what most Americans seem to be able identify with; not Sosa's lit­ eral rags to riches story. It seems that too many base­ ball fans are looking for symbol­ ism over substance and have found a great deal of symbolism in Mark McGwire. In a Poll conducted by USAToday Online, 79% of nearly 9,000 fans polled believe that Sammy Sosa is getting the shaft in Media Coverage.

Elie Wiesel took questions from the audience and gave insight into his Holocaust experiences as well as his beliefs and concerns Tuesday from 8:30-9:30 a.m. at Appalachian's Farthing Audi­ torium. Most questions dealt with the Holocaust and human rights. After the Holocaust, many of the survivors and others were in denial of the tragedy. "People said forget it, turn over a new leaf," said Wiesel. Wiesel argued that it was important for sur­ vivors to talk about their experiences, though. "We must realize that whatever we do is a product of our Holocaust experiences," said Wiesel. In fact, the children of survivors were re­ sponsible for starting the exploration and discus­ sion of the Holocaust, Wiesel said. The children of survivors came to Wiesel and wanted to talk about the tragedy. "When the children came to me, I became like a surrogate father," said Wiesel. When asked if Jews had forgiven Germans, Wiesel said that he didn't have the right to for­ give in the nam° of others. Wiesel recently traveled to Berlin and said that, like Jews, Germans also have much to over­ come. "I do not believe in collective guilt or in col­ lective innocence," said Wiesel. "The Holocaust is a unique event, and I believe that it will never happen again," he went on to say. "We believe that the memory will act as a shield," said Wiesel. While Wiesel confessed his deep religious beliefs, he also voiced concerns about religious fanaticism and stressed the need for religious tol­ eration. "I believe all Holocaust camps should be free of all religious symbols. It should be a place for respect for each other," said Wiesel. Wiesel, a member of Amnesty International, stressed human rights throughout the world. He said it was vital for people to let political prison­ ers know that a few people outside care. "Noth­ ing is worse for the prisoner than to think that nobody cares," said Wiesel. After Wiesel was liberated from the Holocaust camp in Auschwitz, he made a personal vow to Because of the number in attendance Tuesday, a closed circuit broadcast was shown on a large screen in Broome-Kirk Gym (photo by Beck Long). see Wiesel on page 2 ^<ech department Prominent ASU professor passes away eceives patent ASU News Bureau :^beth Moody D "Writer ^SU has received a patent for ^"olutionary art device called ^^r Ease."

Leon Lundie invented the ^ 53s while working on Strahl's research product. "We found a bacterium that produces an antibiotic that has a wide range of effects on other bac­ teria," said Dobson. According to Dobson, one cannot patent a natu­ ral organism such as the bacterium they found. Instead, they are patenting the process they use to extract the new bacterium. Once Dobson, Strahl, and Lundie have the patent in place, Dobson said, "We plan to invite other people to help us test to see if the antibiotic that the bacterium produces will help humans." To apply for a patent, one should contact the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The application consists of a written report which has a specific description of the invention and a declaration of the invention, a drawing of the invention (if nec­ essary), and a filing fee. Once a person receives a patent, the term for it is approximately 20 years. Dr. James W. Jackson, 64, of Glendale Drive in Boone, died Tuesday, Sept. 15, after a lengthy illness. He was well known in the community and across the state for his work in higher education. Dr Jackson came to Boone in 1970 to serve as dean of educa­ tional innovation and assistant to Chancellor Herbert Wey at Appa­ lachian State University. He was dean of the College of Continuing Education and direc­ tor of summer sessions from 197283, and professor of higher edu­ cation and coordinator of higher education graduate programs from 1983 until his retirement in June. During his career, Dr. Jackson was instrumental in establishing and supporting many new pro­ grams at Appalachian, including the university's summer camp pro­ gram, international studies pro­ gram, continuing education pro­ gram and the leadership in higher education graduate program. 'Jim Jackson truly exemplified the spirit of Appalachian," said Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski. "As an educator, he touched the lives of countless Appalachian students and public school person­ nel across North Carolina. As an administrator, his guidance helped establish many programs and activities for which the uni­ versity is rec­ ognized. As a community leader, he im­ proved the lives of others with his sup­ port for a pub­ lic library and his service on a variety of town and county government committees. And, as our friend, his laughter, en­ thusiasm and Dr. James positive out­ look on life set an example for us all. He will be missed." Dr. Jackson came to Appala­ chian from the University of Mi­ ami where he was assistant to the dean of students. He also held posts at Manatee Junior College and the University of Florida. Dr. Jackson earned his bachelor's degree in history and his master's de­ gree in Rus­ sian and Asian history from the University if Florida. He earned a Ph.D. in higher edu­ cation and history from the Univer­ sity of Florida. H e served as an officer in the U.S. Army's Security and National SeW. Jackson curity agen­ cies in Eu­ rope, the Middle East, and North and East Africa from 1956-59 Dr. Jackson was active in the university and Boone communi­ ties. He served on the university's Graduate Council, Archives Com­ mittee, Appalachian Traditions Task Force and the Dean's Planning Advisory Committee for the Reich College of Education. He also chaired the leadership and higher education/library sci­ ence and educational foundations merger committee in the Reich College of Education. This spring, Dr. Jackson re­ ceived the university's Plemmons Leadership Medallion, recognizing his leadership enriching the qual­ ity of student life and advancing the education of students. He received the Reich College of Education's Outstanding Teacher Award in 1997 and the college's Outstanding Service Award in 1995. He was recognized by the Student Government Asso­ ciation as an outstanding teacher in 1987, 1992 and 1993. He re­ ceived the Boone Kiwanis Citizen­ ship Award in 1997. His community service in­ cluded the Southern Appalachian Historical Association, the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce, LeesMcRae College Board of Advisors, see Jackson on page 2 �Page 2 SePtember 1 Jackson Convocation from page 1 ond chance. "We have also learned that you cannot be silent," he said. Wiesel said that if France and England had pressured Germany from the beginning, then millions of lives could have been saved. However, Wiesel said that hu­ manity "is responsible for both the good and the bad." Wiesel left the audience with this advice: "Speak when the world is silent." This can help alleviate the problems that the world will Wiesel from page face. He concluded by urging the audience to treat other human beings as they would want to be treated. "If (a person) chooses to do so, that person can bring hope despite despair," he said. "Only human beings can move me to despair, but also human beings can open me to hope." Wiesel was honored with an honorary degree. Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski and Provost Harvey R. Durham presented him with a Doctorate of Humane Let­ ters after his speech. Additional seating was offered in Broome-Kirk Gymnasium where a live broadcast of the Convoca­ tion ceremony was telecast. Reg­ istrar Brooks McLeod said that approximately 6,000 attended the speech in Varsity Gymnasium and around 100 people watched on projection screens in Broome-Kirk. "This was by far the biggest crowd that we've ever had," he said. 1 wait 10 years before talking about his experiences. "I waited 10 years to purify the words...to make sure the words would be pure and immutable," said Wiesel. "Silence is a big part of my work when I write and study," said Wiesel. "The weight of a book is the weight of its silence." He continued to say that al­ though silence may be good for mysticism or literature, it's not good for life. "Silence never helps the victim. It only helps the oppres­ sor," said Wiesel. Wiesel has over 90 honorary degrees and is currently a profes­ sor at Boston University. Wlesel's book, "Night," was originally over 800 pages, but he cut it to less than 200 pages, be­ cause he wanted the book to be like a fist instead of an open hand.

Luckily for all of us, Sea Bass didn't return with his gun. Just when the intermission was almost over, on the far side of the ring, I spied two women who were arguing. One of them grabbed the microphone and started calling the other one a not-so-veiled ref­ erence to a female dog. They started scuffling, then fell on the floor until they were seperated. Only later did I found out the women's match was what had just taken place. What a crock. I felt cheated. But then, salvation arrived. The last match of the night, a six-man tag team bout, was the main event. One of the contestants was Jimmy "Boogie Woogie Man" Valiant, a wres­ ding star from the old school. When I first started watching wresding as a child, I remember hearing that name. Well, if Boogie Woogie Man was old school th^n, now he was geri­ atric school. The guy was probaoiy m ius imc sixties and had tattoos a' plenty. It was frightening. During the course of the match, the legal man competing on the side we were rooting for got thrown from the ring. He landed a few feet in front of us and took a moment to get his head to stop ringing. Gray handed the wrestler his wooden stick. The wresder took it, smiled, and proceeded to smash an opponent's face with it. Wow! Was this for real? Well, the blood sure as hell looked real. The guy who got smacked reacted as if he had really gotten hit. The blood didn't wipe off his forehead too easily, as it stayed there for the rest of the match. Now I'm no Columbo, but in my humble opinion, the guy really got hit. The match ended, and we all filed out. As I walked to my car, I reflected on what an experience it had been. Maybe it wasn't Nitro or Thunder, but I got to see some guy get hit in the head with a stick. What more can you ask for on a Friday night in Boone? Fraternities and sororities: what's the deal?

There are several clubs on cam­ pus that participate in several community service projects for the basic goodness of this college. I just think these societies need to concentrate more on what is really important, making Appala­ chian State University a beautiful place and keeping it that way. Less concentration needs to be placed on popu­ larity, which is truly not important, and how people view you as a person. Most students that 1 have spoken with think lowly of fraternities and sororities just for that simple fact. Paying to be "popular" and paying to party is really not a great decision. People are going to like others for who they are and not who they are incorporated with. So, before making any drastic decisions about joining a sorority or fraternity, consider everything. Consider all the pros, which are few and far between , and all the cons. Consider the responsibility that will be placed on you when becoming a member. So, rethink your morals and standards before making any decisions, especially ones concerning this. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Fan of "The wave" To the Editor: Hooray, the "Polish guy" returns to rant! Writer Matt Bielejeski has once again made us laugh at life's little annoyances. I'm glad to see that he's still giving Dennis Miller a run for his money in the self-righteous angst department. His recent article on sign language for the road hit very close to home. As part of my summer in­ ternship, I was required to drive interstates 52 and 40 and to navigate downtown Greensboro. All too often I experienced that sinking feeling you get when the lane (or on-ramp) ends, and a steady stream of unfeeling drivers leaves you paralyzed in a lane-less limbo. So I'll take Matt's advice and approach local traffic with a lot of patience, kindness, and cour­ tesy. Because in the words of Eek the Cat, "it never hurts to help." Kristi Walsh ASU Box 11733 Response to "Hate" writer To the Editor: This letter is in response to the article "To all of the idiots who hate" in the Opinion section of the Sept. 10 issue. I'm not sure what point this guy was trying to prove, but what I came away with is that he is someone who perfectly illustrates what he is trying to denounce. Many of the points he was trying to make just didn't seem to make any sense. For example, just because 50 percent of American marriages end in divorce doesn't mean that we should totally disre­ gard the most sacred covenant that can be made be­ tween a man and a woman. And supporting gay marriages because of the increase in taxes it produces seems absolutely absurd. Along with that, I'm still trying to figure out how Sammie Davis, Jr. has any relevance to a covenant made between God and the Jewish race. The other area that the writer seemed totally adept in is totally contradicting himself in some amus­ ingly obvious ways. For example, the Bible seems to be totally outdated and inadequate in justifying the argument against homosexuality, but it stands as one of the foundations for his argument in favor of the Jews. He states "generalizations don't apply to individu­ als," but goes on to generalize that so-called "rednecks" (anyone who enjoys NASCAR or a host of other stereotypes) are all bigots who should go "to a small island somewhere and continue to inbreed...and call your silly little selves the 'pure race'." Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black to me. The contradictions carry through to the very heart of the article. His premise seems to be that people who hate are idiots who are ignorant of that which they despise. Yet he exposes his own ignorance at the end of his article by concluding that, "the group that should be hated, if any, is white men." His con­ tent and tone make it very clear that this group is indeed the target of his own ignorance and preju­ dice. This art; left me with the impression of a dog chasing its own tail. For every point that he made, he eventually comes full circle to discount any merit it may have stumbled upon. If the intent of his article was to incite controversy, I'd say that he probably succeeded in more ways than he ex­ pected. It also succeeded in showing that he is a culprit in the very crime that he cries out against: a self-proclaimed idiot. Ben Keisler BK24794 Boone thirsts for flavor To the Editor: It's about time Boone got some flavor! On the evening of Sept. 5, three MCs and DJ Mellow But­ tercup performed at Tony's Pizza. For those who enjoy hip-hop, experiencing it live was quite an event. Those who thirst for a break from the usual local bands were treated to the sights and sounds of unique, all-original material. The artists pre­ sented their work in four very dope sets of lyrics, while the DJ threw down phat tracks all night. A good time was had by all. Ed Blank, The Horror, and BadKat kept it real with their delicious and re­ sist-less rhymes, followed by a session of freestyle that had the whole crowd raging.

The reason for choosing this remote, country town was given by SS Chief Heinrich Himmler who picked Auschwitz because of "its convenient location as regards to commu­ nication and because the whole area can easily be isolated and camouflaged." In that same year, the Nazis began building Auschwitz Il-Birkenau in the nearby village of Brzezinka. This is the camp that soon held the bulk of the prisoners at Auschwitz and became the main factory of death as well. In 1942, the Nazis opened Auschwitz III in the nearby village of Monowice. This was mainly a work camp run by the German chemical com­ pany IG-Farbenindustrie which had a factory there. During its time of operation from 1940 until its liberation by the Soviet army on Jan. 27,1945 it is estimated that between 1.5 and 4 million Jews, Poles, Gypsies, Slavs, Czechs, Russians, Hungar­ ians and others died in the camp. Today both Auschwitz I, which is called the Polish Museum of Martyrology, and Auschwitz II are open to the public and maintained by the Pol­ ish government. While this brief timeline and the few pictures I have provided may not help much in understand­ ing what happened at Auschwitz and throughout Europe just 50 short years ago, what Wiesel said about hatred, intolerance and humanity can. Hopefully those students who heard his speech will remember his message and hopefully these gruesome facts and images will help add some shape and substance to the horror Wiesel described.

I am a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I have loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough." From this testimony of the main character, author Nicholas Sparks weaves his tale of a love that endures from youth to old age in his novel, The Notebook.' Here is the tale of two people who remain young lovers their entire lives, overcoming the boundaries of time, distance, and even modern medicine. It is the love story of two people who hang on for fourteen years of separation and, in the end, a long and heartbreaking battle with Alzheimer's.

Hey, it's Courtney Love, the independent girl who has her "own" image. The one making magazine covers left and right. This new sound must be good. But you only have to read the lyrics (her dull voice makes hear­ ing the words impossible), to see there really isn't anything new, just more whining about how much it sucks to be rich and famous. Does this sound familiar? Do you wonder why? It's because the king of suffering (despite success), , Billy Corgan, co-wrote five of the 12 songs on the album. The song "Dying" illustrates my point; "I am so dumb / Just beam me up / I've had it all for­ ever / I've had enough." Blah, Blah,Blah! Haven't we heard enough moaning from you two al­ ready? Your fanatical Nirvana/Hole fans will read the lyrics and try to find clues about Kurt, Courtney's love for him, and maybe even a few once unknown reasons as to why Kurt killed himself. But none of it is there. The whole album is like "The X-Files" series. Why have "The XFiles" been so successful? Because the truth is out there, but it is never known. Hints and leads are ex­ plored, and once you think the truth is about to be known, it turns out that it's just another page in an unsolvable mystery. Courtney Love has written the script perfectly, dropping shrouded lies and fake hints throughout the album, never once coming to any shattering realizations. What it all boils down to is how much do you care about Courtney Love? How much do you care about what she has suffered? Does her new image fascinate you? How much are you willing to look into her empty lyrics? Soon enough, people will come to the realization that she's full of it and Hole's "Celebrity Skin" will become just another overhyped piece of garbage.

The Appalachian victory was the seein two days as they won in their home over Georgia Southern Friday it in four games (15-9,15-13, 715-10), "It's very important for co win our home conference x^s," said Markland.

The Mountaineers Inave an unblemished 2-0 conlce record and a 3-4 record ASU led 14-10 until what Markland de­ scribes as a "complete breakdown." Ap­ palachian dropped six straight points, los­ ing the set 14-16. Appalachian's strength lies in their passing game, "As a whole, our passing has helped our offense," said Markland. The Mountaineer's primary passer, Young "has been the most consistent (player)," said Markland. He is also pleased with White's performance as a setter. The four Appalachian defeats came at the hands of some tough competition as the Mountaineers opened the season at the Wake Forest Invitational Tournament in Winston-Salem. ASU started off their 1998 campaign with a three set loss to nationally ranked Oklahoma and then fol­ lowed it up with a five set loss to former conference foe, Marshall. On the final day of the tournament, Appalachian lost con­ secutive matches to St. John's and host Wake Forest. Appalachian returns home this Friday night with a huge conference match against Davidson starting at 7 p.m. in Var­ sity Gym. The Wildcats swept ASU last season. Appalachian's main goal "is to force our opponents to play their best to beat us," said Markland. The Davidson game will be the first of four matches slated for this weekend. On Saturday, the Mountaineers travel to Greensboro for a doubleheader with matches against High Point University and UNC-Wilmington. 11. espite the Mountaineer sucf late, Markland still sees room provement, "We need to imon our mental approach to the .

In the second round of the -j1das/Spartan Classic at the Uni, jrsity of North Carolina at r^ensboro on Sunday, senior gi.jrk Hemphill scored on a penty kick to give Appalachian a 2-1 -tory over Kentucky. The Mountaineers struck first ter senior Naoshi Yamauchi re­ eved a pass from Jordy Broader, jneuvered past two defenders, d found the lower left corner of net at the 8:45 mark. However, the Kentucky Wildclawed their way back into the e scoring right before halftime. Baker tied the game at 1-1 on ader from Brent Rainey at the 31 mark. The Mountaineers sealed the pnc after Broader found his way hind the Wildcat defense and is fouled in the penalty box, ifch gave Hemphill an opportuV to net the game winning goal. "We were pressing them and : gjot behind their defense," said ach T.J. Kostecky of the gameining play. .Appalachian suffered their jt loss of the season the next day - r losing 1-0 in overtime to the iS"ht State Raiders. "They were very big, very fast, and they really dominated us the first half," said Kostecky. "We were a bit lucky in the first half, they could have put in two or three goals." Both teams played even the first 90 minutes with neither team having an advantage. Then fresh­ man midfielder, Travis Sobers, re­ ceived a pass from Marco Elrock and fired a shot past goalie Eric Gibney. In the second half, Appala­ chian had to make some changes. "We made an adjustment by moving their outside backs, and they started giving the ball away," said Kostecky. Appalachian held the advan­ tage in shots on goal, 7-6; how­ ever, the Mountaineers ran into a solid defense. "They had a tremen­ dous defense that covered a lot of ground, and stopped us on three separate occasions," Kostecky said. The loss to the Raiders was Appalachian's first loss of the sea­ son. Wright State went on to win the adidas/Spartan Classic, defeat­ ing UNCG. In the first game of a three game road trip, Appalachian beat Mercerl-0 in overtime. The game was difficult for many reasons; however, the heat was a major fac­ tor according to Kostecky. "Mercer was a very difficult game because of playing in the heat down in Macon Georgia," Kostecky said. Mercer also had two new players that became eligible for the game, adding to Appalachian's difficulty. Both teams were scoreless af­ ter 90 minutes of play, and evenly matched. ASU"s Will Vick did not waste much time as the game moved into overtime, scoring on the first shot that was taken by ei­ ther team. Mercer goalkeeper David Jetton deflected the shot from 20 yards, but the ball banged off the crossbar and slipped into the net. "Will had a tremendous goal, beat­ ing two defenders," Kostecky said. Appalachian outshot Mercer 13-7, and in the process forced another shutout. Kostecky was pleased with the performance of his team. "They had some really strong and physical defenders that made it difficult for us to pen­ etrate," said Kostecky As a result of the solid team defense, goalie Eric Gibney was forced to make only three saves in the game. Kostecky was particularly pleased with the way that his team dealt with the height of Mercer. "They were a tall team and serv­ ing balls really high in the air, and we are not particularly big in the back or in the goal. Being able to deal with that was very positive," Kostecky said. He would like to see his team improve on better service and get­ ting open more. "We need to do a better job of getting open so we can provide a target for the server," he said. Appalachian will be home at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 19 as they battle Elon College at Kidd-Brewer Stadium. David Jackson Staff Writer The 1998 season has been one of ups and downs for the Appala­ chian State women's soccer team. For the s e c o n d ASU 3 straight Liberty 0 year, the squad won their first Southern Conference match, this time dropping College of Charleston 3-2 in overtime. The Mountaineers also put on an im­ pressive show against national power UNC-Charlotte, leading the 49ers 2-0 just before the half, be­ fore falling 4-2. However, an 8-0 drubbing from South Carolina and a 3-1 loss to Charleston Southern have the Mountaineers in search of a win­ ning streak as they get ready to jump into conference action fullspeed next week. The streak in need got off to a rousing start Tuesday night, as Appalachian netted three first half goals en route to a 3-0 win over Liberty. "We needed this win to kind of get things going for us, and the kids really rose to the occasion," said Coach Ben Popoola following his team's second win of the sea- son.

OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS CLUB LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE WALK FOR AWARENESS The Power of One Dr. Zohara M. Boyd, Department of English When Barbara Daye asked me to give this brief address at the 1998 Walk tor Awareness, she told me that this year's theme was "The Power of One." And I got to thinking that when we speak of the "Power of One" we usually think of the power to do good on some grand international scale, the power of a Mother Teresa of a Jonas Salk. If we're feeling pessimistic, we might think of evil on a grand scale, the power of an Adolf Hitler or a Saddam Hussein. But this annual walk for awareness is meant to remind us that the power of one, for good or for evil, resides in all sorts of places. The evil of one Daniel Brian Lee brought terror and grief to our entire community. The intelligence and courage of one Leigh Cooper Wallace put a quick end to the budding career of a serial killer. The life and death of one Jeni Gray has brought us together tonight to consider what power each one of us holds for good or evil. And you may be asking yourself right now, "What relevance does this have for me?" In the usual course of events no one here will encounter a killer, international or local, and no one here will become one. There is an ancient Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times." I have lived in such times, so trust me whenI tell you that a normal, average, even boring life is the greatest blessing this world can bestow upon you. Now again you may be asking yourself, "What relevance does this have for me? I don't commit evil or acts of violence, I don't encounter them, so what can I possibly do to stop them?" But we do witness and commit acts of violence all the time and we have become so accustomed to them that we can't even identify them for what they are. When we cut off someone at a stop sign or when we are rude to an overworked, underpaid restaurant worker or sales clerk, we have committed an act of violence against that person's dignity. When we ignore, mock, or cast out that "different" person in our dorm, when we mark someone as the "nerd" or "dweeb" or whatever the current derogatory term may be, we have committed a small murder of the soul. Everything we do or say that ratchets up the level of incivility and anger in our vicinity, any pain that we carelessly inflict upon others, is in­ deed an act of violence, one that is very much within our power to end. There are other times when the acts of violence around us are more overt and not of our own making, however. When we see the parent who is yell­ ing at a child, shaking it, and dragging it through the supermarket, do we stop to intervene, perhaps by offering some soothing words and assis­ tance to the overwrought parent, or do we follow the social guideline that tells us it is none of our business, hurry past, and become quietly complicit in that act of violence? A year or so ago, in a McDonald's, I saw a woman approach a father who was screaming at his young son and handling him roughly. She gently urged the father to get himself another cup of coffee and offered to sit with the boy while he did so. Instead of turning his rage against her, as I thought he might, the man calmed down and told her that he and his wife had just separated, that this was his first weekend as a single parent, and that he was taking out his pain unfairly on his child. I saw then how the power of one probably altered the course of three lives. When we know that a roommate or friend is involved in an abusive relationship, either as a victim or abuser, do we intervene or do we remain silent? I would guess that some of us have had abused friends whom we should have tried to rescue by offering advice and shelter or calling in authorities. I would also guess that some of us have been friends with abusers whom we could have stopped by condemning their actions or warning their po­ tential victims. Yet we did nothing, sometimes understandably if not admi­ rably out of fear for our own safety, but more often, and more shamefully, in fear of breaking the friendship, of being considered foolish, or worse yet, uncool. We can all admire the courage of an Oscar Schindler or a Leigh Cooper Wallace, people who have reacted bravely at times of life-threaten­ ing danger. Too often, however, we overlook or even scorn that "courage of one," the one who stands against the violence we ourselves carelessly condone, participate in, and have come to view as commonplace. Here are some thoughts on the topic that I have stolen from the Sunday bulletin of the Quaker meeting my husband attends: "May you be blessed with anger at injustice, oppression and exploitation of people, so that you will work for justice, equity, and peace. And may you be blessed with the foolishness to think that you can make a difference in the world, so that you will do the things which others tell you cannot be done." George Fox founded the Quaker movement in England in the 1650s, a time of great turmoil and civil war. One of his followers asked him, "When will God put an end to all this hatred and bloodshed?" George Fox answered, "He is waiting for thee to begin." I don't know when, if ever, we can put an end to violence in the world, in our country, in Boone, or in our own hearts, but tonight, in this place, let us begin.

The area upstairs is still leak­ ing because water is trapped un­ derneath the roof seal, said Wilkinson. The library staff has put a trash can under the leak and placed plastic on the floor around the leaking area. Roofers and state architects have had a preliminary look at the roof, and drawings for the replace­ ment roof should be ready by midOctober, said Robbins. Once construction begins, the project should take four to six weeks depending on the weather, said Robbins. The old roof will be torn up and replaced in sections, said Robbins.

Staff Writer Students gathered around Wilson, but none found him as combative as previous evangelists. "I think the message today shows more of what the heart of Christ is like; that he didn't come to condemn the world, but to save it," said New Life Ministries representative Darrell Roberts. "I like his humility, and he's not calling people names. He's just letting people know what he believes," Roberts said. Wilson is the minister of Ev­ ergreen Baptist Church in Zionville. He formerly worked at Ap­ palachian State for 14 years as a floor crew supervisor in the building services department, said Interim Building Service Administrator Don Schilling. Schilling said that Wilson is currently on a leave of absence to go into the ministry. "He hasn't made it official, but personally, I don't think he's coming back," Schilling said. Wilson's leave expires Oct. 1. To be allowed to minister on the mall at Appalachian, one must file a peaceful assembly form found in the Office of Student De­ velopment, said Dean of Students Barbara Daye. Daye said that the form indi­ cates why and where the person wants to speak. Sometimes the area is full and they need to find another place to talk. The University Police are then notified of the speech in case they are needed at the scene. Daye said that the only perameters set upon a speech are that the speaker does not disrupt the academic nature of the cam­ pus. The university also does not allow solicitation on campus. "When we approve, we do not approve for solicitaition," Daye said. But, the university does not analyze content of the speeches. "We have a First Amendment, and it is my responsibility to work through with the person the na­ ture of the content," Daye said. will only add to the problems," said Wilkinson.

Before the blue light testing, this year's safety walk occurred at 9 p.m. It is an annual inspection of campus lighting and of possible problem spots. The walk started at the statue beside East Hall and circled the campus. Director for Student Affairs for SGA Dorothy Timbs led the walk. Timbs and Crime Prevention Officer for university police Stacy A student pushes the button on a blue light. Five minutes and 30 seconds later, the university po­ lice arrive. This was the response time when the Student Government As­ sociation (SGA) tested the campus blue lights. The blue light testing followed SGA's annual safety walk, a part of Safety Week. Each year, SGA performs this service to improve the security of Appalachian students. "With the amount of crime see Lights on page going on, it is im­ portant that SGA and the university are checking cam­ pus safety," said Rules Committee Chair Gene Brannon.

Last week, Mark McGwire struck his usttj 62nd home run of the season, surpassing the ; tin' previous 37-year record held by Roger Maris. As the ball flew out of the field, a re­ markable transition that had been evolving for weeks was completed. America had someone to look up to, and that was a unique ib| opportunity. Media coverage soared as newspapers and magazines ran numerous photographs of McGwire with his son or with rival Sammy -6S-; Sosa. TV stations had footage that people wanted to see, and ratings sky-rocketed. People tuned in for many reasons, but it "Iseemed most were interested in the two 1gentlemen involved in the race. McGwire land Sosa were, surprisingly, nice guys. The jcompetition was friendly, and America took notice. Sosa and McGwire graced the cover of 11 Newsweek and gave press conferences to­ ll gether. They also gave the appearance that they were genuinely happy for each other. Now, lef s examine this. How many base­ ball players portray such a good image? Ev­ eryone knows the trite image of a fat guy in kitight pants with chewing tobacco hanging Uout of his mouth. But these guys don't act HIlike that. For example, McGwire invited the H Maris family to attend the game in which he • hit the 62nd homer. Also, he went into the H stands and greeted them individually. No wonder people are so excited about 1 these two. They are truly class acts, and I America is loving them. Back when Americans lived and breathed baseball, the heroes were Babe Ruth and Lou pehrig. In our era, the only resemblances pf the so-called "American Hero" are seen *right now with McGwire and Sosa. S Somehow, baseball ratings have steadily M Beclined over the years. After the 1994 ^strike, spectators lost interest, and the great 1American pastime suffered. One would think Hhat such record settings such as Cal Ripken's ,626 consecutive starts would boost the l adings. But somehow they didn't. What we have witnessed over the past lew weeks can be the start of a rebirth of baseball and the regathering of the Ameri|J :an culture. If the remaining 13 games for ™ McGwire and 12 for Sosa can keep attractng fans, then these two sluggers can rekindle khe flame that used to be America's pastime. jft 9 The Appalachian is run and produced by Appaachian State University students.

Normally, 1 take the time in these articles to attempt to point out and discredit some of the acts of injustice that seem to thrive at ASU. And many of you may have taken my sarcasm a litde too seriously. But this time, I just wanted to send out a little praise for a group of Appalachian students that I would normally criticize: fraternities. The enigma that I am constandy confronted with involving fraternities is that, individually, they tend to be great people and fun to hang around. The drawback to them is when they Jay Ware get into their groups and become self- Opinion Editor important and exclusionary. I always be­ lieved that college was a time for mind expansion and social experimentation, not the opposite. I was under the impression that it was more fun to allow yourself to be changed and educated by new and different groups of people, and it seemed to me that most fraternities, as a whole, tended to have the opposite philosophy. As I said, I try to stay off of the "purchase your friends" bandwagon, but I have been particularly impressed with the Sigma Nu fraternity lately. It seems as though they don't receive the recognition that they deserve for the charitable acts that they are involved in. One incredibly positive annual event that they participate in is the "Gameball Run." This is a sort of relay race without compe­ tition, as they get local sponsors to support them by donating financially to the American Cancer Society. The members of the fraternity, this year, will take turns run­ ning with a football until they reach Wake Forest University in time for Yosef and the gang to beat on the lowly Demon Deacons in a pleasant tackle football game. Also, let's not forget that Sigma Nu has an annual "Hoops for Habitat" event which is an opportunity for anyone in the commu­ nity to pay a fee and play in a three-on-three basketball tourna­ ment. Of course, all of the proceeds benefit Habitat for Human­ ity. Maybe there are too many of us on campus who are overly eager to bash the campus Greeks for their social inadequacies and their condescending attitude toward the rest of us. And maybe we ignore the fact that they do help to better our com­ munity. I'm not sure how many of the rest of us are volunteering to make life easier for the less fortunate people in the area. Many of you from other fraternities might write in to complain that your events are just as important, but I have seen little that compares to the respectable services of Sigma Nu. And let's face it, guys, if you simply place your name on a highway road sign as a sponsor and then occasionally pick up some trash, it just won't impress me. The reason I singled out Sigma Nu is because their ideas are innovative, creative, and noteworthy, and I appreciate that sort of thing. I wish that there were more fraternities like these guys. Why public preaching is positive There are some benefits to listening to the tirades of the preachers on San ford Mall We're all tired, at this point, of hearing about The wild rants and raves of Birdsong inspired Gary Birdsong, the Bible thumpin' preacher who Johansen to state a part of his Buddhist doctrine. makes Jerry Falwell look like Larry Flint. But there "This preacher has been set by so many strict laws is one aspect of his visit to Sanford Mall that that he has put God in a box, while Buddhists was overlooked by the masses (including the believe God is so deep he's indefinable," said media).

The argument pretty much consisted of the use of biblical references. Even though my biblical knowledge consists of nothing more than reading those John 3:16 signs at baseball games, I was still able to relate to the back and forth between Hurly and Birdsong. "According to Levitical code, homosexuals are going to hell," Birdsong said. "You said you weren't under Levitical code," Hurly replied. "I'm taking it into context," Birdsong said, and a huge sigh from the audience followed. As the six-hour screaming and yelling session came to a close and Birdsong packed up his suitcase (with a sticker that had the word "Homo" on it cov­ ered by a circle and a slash) and walked off, negative sentiment echoed throughout the onlookers. "I hope that Nazi never comes back. He had no business being here in the first place," was one re­ sponse. We all felt that it was necessary to make these comments, even though we didn't mean them. Hear­ ing the insane rhetoric of a backwater preacher is always fun. If makes people mad and then lets them release tha iger in a safe environment. The free speech of an ultra-conservative rever­ end produces the free speech of a diverse and color­ ful college. If it takes a shouting match to bring out that diversity, then so be it.

Then, one candle stayed lit, and other people used that one candle to light their own candles. After about ten minutes, there were "starter candles" around most areas. Many time,s a lit candle would be blown out by the wind, but there was al­ ways a lit candle somewhere to light others. Throughout the Jones House speeches, the pro­ cess of lighting candles and having them extinguished was constant. The perseverance to keep the candles lit, even in the face of such daunting adversity, showed me The Power of One. Even as one candle went out, another was lit. People who had their candle blown out ten times still went back to light it again. I heard some say that the people trying to keep the candles lit were missing the total experience. For some reason, I don't think so. In something so small as keeping a flame alive, much can be learned. As long as there was a flame, there was the power of one person to change others, to make their candles light up. If there is that one person who speaks out against sexual assault and violence, then that one person can inspire others to do the same. Will you be that one person? �CAMPUS LIFE Into the great outdoor The Appalachian Page4 ptem|*nP Parkway Excursions E.B.

Jeffress Park - Renowned for its sparkling cascades hidden deep within the forest, this park was named for the 1934 State Highway Commission Chairman who canvassed to get the Blue Ridge Parkway routed through N.C. Jeffress Park is located on over 300 acres of land dedicated to its namesake, who was also a promi­ nent newspaper publisher and teacher. Although this park boasts its outdoor activities, it comes fully equipped with restrooms, water fountains and picnic tables for the novice outdoorsman. This recreational area is com­ prised of two trails: the Cascades Nature Trail and the Tompkins Knob Trail. The Cascades Nature Trail be­ gins just past the restrooms and takes hikers on a 1.2 mile loop through a mixed hardwood forest. Laurels, hemlocks, dogwoods, and tulip trees line the way to the falls and fill this woodland with a sweet summery smell. Don't worry about identifying the myriad wildlife and vegetation around you as you meander through the woods.

This footpath dead ends at a spectacular cascade sheeting down the mountain. The waterfall is never more than a trickle, yet it is fascinating because of the sheer height from which the water falls. The water drops from 50 feet down a near-vertical rock face and then shoots past to Falls Creek be­ low. About 20 feet further down the trail is another platform jutting out beneath the falls for your view­ ing pleasure. Rest on the platform awhile. Swing your feet over Lhe edge. Smell the moist air and revel in the musical interlude of the tinkling water on mossy rocks. Splat. Splat. Splat. But don't tarry too long; you've still got miles to go before the day's end. Beware: the walk back up is more strenuous than the easy jaunt downhill. But have no fear; there are steps where it is steep and benches are interspersed through­ out for your sitting convenience. Still up for a challenge? Try the next trail! The Tompkins Knob Trail is lo­ cated on the other side of the park­ ing lot. This is a .5 mile loop from the Jeffress Park park­ ing area to the Tompkins Knob Overlook and back. It's not a very scenic hike, but it provides a cultural view of what the area was like in olden days. Walk down the grassy path and you'll soon stumble upon a very small village. Located in the clearing is the highlight of this trail: three small wooden shacks. One of the buildings is a historic log cabin that was once the Cool Spring Baptist Church. Once upon a time, fami­ lies from the neighboring countryside would gather here to hear circuit preach­ ers impart heavenly knowl­ edge upon the crowds. Preachers rarely came, and many people would clamber to hear these sermons. The preacher stayed at nearby Jesse Brown cabin until it was time for him to move on. The third building is presumably a henhouse or maybe an old privy. The trail continues to the overlook parking lot, The Cascades Nature Trail in E. B.

"Start first with yourself and n spread the power of one to others," he said. After hearing the initial speak­ ers, the participants were led in a silent walk through downtown to King Street and on to the Jones House. At the Jones House, partici­ pants were introduced to Leigh Cooper Wallace. Wallace was ab­ ducted and raped by the same man who murdered Gray. Wallace's testimony helped convict the perpetrator. She spoke about her support system and how the power of one can be magni­ fied. "I witnessed firsthand the power of one snowball into the power of ten, of one hundred and then one thousand or more," she said. Wallace also shared with the participants the significance of the annual walk and of everyone's si­ lent support. "I feel stronger each year as I head home following this walk for awareness. By standing here si lently offering your support as I speak of my experience, I feel a renewed sense of strength," Wallace said. "While you may walk in si­ lence, your presence here speaks volumes," she said. Also at the Jones House, sev­ eral student and community lead­ ers presented their views on the power of one. The night concluded with die ASU Gospel Choir singing, "Never Turning Back." The walk marked Fernando Little's fourth year as a participant."I think it is a wonder­ ful way to remember the young lady, Jeni, but also to celebrate the courage of Leigh and everyone else who has said that they're go­ ing to take a stand against vio­ lent crime," Little said. Recent rankings recognize ASU as a strong university Leslie Hitchcock News Editor Rankings from U.S. News and World Report and Kiplinger's Per­ sonal Finance Magazine gave tes­ tament to the caliber of university that Appalachian State is. Rated 33 out of 100 "Best for Your Money Schools" in Kiplinger's Magazine and fourth among Southern public universities from U.S. News and World Report, ASU faired well. In Kiplinger's, Appalachian was sandwiched between Indiana University, Bloomington at 32 and the University of Colorado, Boul­ der at 34. ASU was also recog­ nized in the top 100 lowest-cost schools. "You have to be pleased with the results," Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski said. Unfortunately, ratings ne­ glected to take into account the nuances of a university. The newly renovated New York loft and the App House in Washington, D.C., were some qualities that were not included in the rankings, Borkowski said. 'The rankings will always be with us, and it's nice when you can be close to the top," he said. khnic concerns addressed by prime minister te Eubanks ff Writer Wlodzimierz Cimoszewicz, and's prime minister from 1996•7, and current ASU professor, >ke Wednesday, Sept. 2, at palachian's Rosen Concert Hall, discussed the causes and posUrn. le solutions to ethnic conflicts Eastern Europe.

International organizations can help to resolve ethnic differences and attempt to bring more stabil­ ity to Eastern Europe, said Cimoszewicz.

Cimoszewicz served on the Council of Europe.

He is pleased with the recog­ nition Appalachian received.' "We're always glad to be in the rankings, because it gives testi­ mony to the quality of our institu­ tion," Watts said. To determine rankings, Kiplinger's Magazine did not poll specialty and non-United States schools. The initial list was narrowed down to 200 schools based on se­ lectivity using SAT scores. It was reasoned that the schools that offer the best quality are the ones chosen by the stron­ gest students. After that, the schools were assessed on quality, using gradua­ tion rates, percentages of freshmen who return for sophomore year, SAT scores, admission rates, and computer and library resources, according to Kiplinger's. The surviving 100 schools were ranked on the basis of the quality factors and five financial factors. They were the "total cost, cost as a percentage of a state's per- capita income, the percentage of a student's financial need the school meets with all forms of fi­ nancial aid, the percentage of that aid that is self-help and the aver­ age amount a student must bor­ row to graduate." Kiplinger's omitted the size of a freshman class from the mea­ sures of quality, because the data was unreliable. U.S. News and World Report used three steps to interpret their rankings. Colleges were catego­ rized by their mission and region first. Secondly, data was gathered from the schools on up to 16 sepa­ rate indicators of academic excel­ lence. Then, the schools were ranked against their peer groups based on their total weighted score. U.S. News used "broad catego­ ries such as academic reputation, retention of students, faculty re­ sources, alumni giving and gradu­ ation rate performance" as crite­ ria. The reputation and factors were determined by researching 1997-98 figures and by interview­ ing the presidents, provosts ad deans of admissions in each cat­ egory. University to look at traffic problems Katie Ward Managing Editor Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski stated a university commit­ ment to traffic safety. "There is no way for a foolproof, absolutely safe campus," Borkowski said. "I would support speed bumps on Rivers Street." A committee for traffic and safety issues is presently being implemented by Vice Chancellor Jane Helm, Borkowski said. No arrests have been made, and no citations have been given as a result of the accident on Rivers Street last Wednesday, said a representative from the Boone Police Department. Their report indicates that Ian Hutchinson was traveling through the crosswalk in front of Kerr Scott when an oncoming vehicle received the green light. The report confirmed the driver's account that Hutchinson stepped into the path of the vehicle. Circumstances surrounding the accident were not included in the report. Hutchinson is reportedly doing well and has been released from the hospital. His CAT Scan showed no complications, and he is expected to be back in class next week, said Dean of Students Barbara Daye, who spoke to Hutchinson's father. �Page 2 Flat fee introduced at Health Services Rob Holliday Staff Writer A doctor's note will not get students medication at Appala­ chian Health Services this year.

' if Anti-binge drinking campaign on campus Chris Neilson Staff Writer A student-designed poster asks the question, "Are you going to be hugging the porcelain throne tonight?" The posters are part of a student campaign trying to curb binge drinking on the Appalachian campus. Binge drinking is a serious problem on many college cam­ puses, and Appalachian is no ex­ ception to the rule. However, our students have an advantage over other college stu­ dents on various campuses. Appalachian has implemented a student-based committee that is trying to make students more aware of the dangers of binge drinking, said Director for the Cen­ ter for Student Involvement and Leadership Dino DiBernardi. Binge drinking is defined as more than five beers for males, or four for females, in one evening. After a survey of students on cam­ pus, it was determined that 50 per­ cent of students on campus are involved in binge drinking activi­ ties. This was considered to be good news, since student percep­ tion before the results were re­ leased calculated the number to be somewhere around 80 percent, DiBernardi said. The committee was pleased with the results, but they still felt that this number was too high, so they launched into action. The committee consists of four students who have researched all aspects of binge drinking, and are now using this information to com­ bat binge drinking habits here at Appalachian. They hope to educate stu­ dents, so when the time comes, they will be able to make an edu­ cated and responsible decision. The committee has three ma­ jor goals that they hope to accom­ plish, DiBernardi said. The first of which is to educate students, fac­ ulty, and parents on what binge drinking is and the reality of drink­ ing on campus. Secondly, the committee wants to deal with the health is­ sues involved with binge drinking, and how they can be prevented. Finally, they want to combat alcohol consumption and curve binge drinking habits on campus. The campaign will be using brochures, posters, radio spots, and a web site to aid them in their quest, aside from one-on-one stu­ dent interaction, said DiBernardi. The committee will also be rely­ ing on focus groups to aid their research. Focus groups consist of differ­ ent social groups on campus such as Greeks, student athletes, clubs, and those students not involved in other activities. Members of each group will be in a focus group to compare and SGA Elections contrast their drinking habits. Although the committee is made up of students, they do have faculty support. "The campaign is a great learning opportunity, and it is also an excellent way to combat a seri­ ous problem on college campuses," DiBernardi said. He feels that the use of stu­ dents to initiate, run and imple­ ment the campaign will be benefi­ cial, since students know the pres­ sure they go through. At the moment, this is just a local campaign, but the commit­ tee is trying to expand to make the surrounding communities aware of the dangers and problems of binge drinking. The committee will be hard at work this year, so be prepared to answer the question, will you be hugging the porcelain throne to­ night? For more information, contact CSIL.

Lecture from page 1 "International organizations want to get involved and protect ethnic minorities, but every nationstate wants to defend its integrity," said Cimoszewicz. According to Cimoszewicz, Germany and Poland have tradi­ tionally been enemies, but recently the two countries have made tre­ mendous improvements in their relations.

Close-minded people, such as the support group for Mr. Helms, seem to be able to disguise hate and ignorance for po­ litical philosophy. It seems that some of us were absent in first grade on the day that they taught equal­ ity and respect. Or maybe some just had a bad teacher. Who are these groups of Jay Ware people that are chosen by these Opinion Editor closed minds as the bane of our society? Say it with me now: the Jews, the Blacks, and the Homosexuals. Why are these groups cho­ sen? That's an easy one too: they all have one dis­ tinctive quality that makes them different. Not Dad, immoral, or evil. Just different. First, let me defend the gay popu lation, since they seem to be the most recent target for brutal ha tred. The movement for gay rights, as far as I'm concerned, poses no social or economic problem for the rest of us. If they want to get married or raise children in a loving set- i ting, why should we hetero- J sexuals criticize or condemn I them? After all, we've al- * ready bastardized the sanc­ tity of marriage with our 50 percent divorce rate, so why do we believe that, in our age of the popularization of the dysfunctional family, we are in any position to whine about homosexuals' lives? After all, with mar­ riage come more taxes and legal liability, and if they wish to tread on that farfrom-hallowed ground, I say, go ahead. Enjoy yourselves. Secondly, I think that many of us would agree that true love is hard enough to find in this world, so if you happen to find it in the same sex, then at least you have found it somewhere. It seems to me that many people criticize gays without even completely understanding them. Now I'm not going to name any names (Reggie White), but some of these people could seriously benefit from a frontal lobotomy. I know that some of you are just itching to pull out your Bible and begin quoting to me about the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah, and my response to that is: it means nothing to me about morality today, and people in the past and present have construed passages in an attempt to belittle women, Africans, and anyone else who doesn't happen to be a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant. So save your breath and your pencil lead. The last point that I wish to make about respect for gays is that yes, it does turn my stomach to see two men exchange saliva in a public setting (and, strangely enough, causes the opposite reaction when I see females do the same; go figure), and it boggles my mind with confusion to see men dress as women, and vice-versa. My philosophy about these things is that I chalk it up to the humility of the fact that I don't under­ stand, not that it is somehow deviant. And I guaran­ tee that if a few more people considered this same line of reasoning, the world would be much more endurable, and we could focus our energy on other things instead of beating on innocent heads with wooden baseball bats. Next, I will try to briefly discuss the racial situa­ tion. I don't have the answer to this problem, but I see Hate on page 5 Skateboarders have rights too On Saturday evening at 2 a.m., my roommate In fact, that's why we appoint certain people to the was accosted by a campus police officer and severely task of creating laws.

I would look on the campus police with a bit transportation altogether, rather than focus on a more respect if they would just come out and say, hobby that has been the center of scorn for years. We all accept the fact that without rules there "Skateboarders are punks!" Instead, they cover up would be nothing but chaos, and that's fine with me. an obvious bias by stuffing their hands in their pock­ ets and whistling a happy tune about "just following the rules." Skateboarders have been steadily evicted from public places for years. First from malls, then from parks, and finally, a campus that they supposedly have the right to utilize. All of this because of the unfounded opinion that all skateboarders are just rampant teenagers with nothing better to do than ride around on their God-awful contraptions and van­ dalize public property. I'm not a skateboarder. In fact, skateboarding is on my top ten list of things I never want to do. So why do I bother to complain about it? Who cares if a couple of kids can't ride on their little toys whenever they want to? Because, as corny as it sounds, banning skate­ boarding without banning any other hazardous mode of transportation is the simplest form of unjustified oppression, and we all have to jump on the anti-op­ pression bandwagon whenever we can.

And you expect them not to be angry with us, and our holier-than- thou attitude. If the situation were reversed, we'd be bitching about our minor­ ity status and we would be de­ manding more civil action. African-Americans, Blacks, or whatever you want to label them, are just as proud and compassion­ ate and intelligent as we are, so please stop treating your fellow Americans as if they were some­ how less than human in a place that is supposed to be home*to all cultures and groups of people. I know that this has been said be­ fore, and I know that we all have the same right to hate if we wish, but I just wanted to let you know that it's a waste of time and en­ ergy. And if you don't like it, then save up enough money to buy a small island somewhere and con­ tinue to inbreed and watch NASCAR and golf all day and call your silly little selves the "pure race." Finally, let's attempt to figure out why Jews have literally writ­ ten the book on suffering and dis­ crimination. If you ask most his­ torians about hate crimes and prejudice, they will tell you that there is always an increase in both when the economy of a certain country is experiencing a reces­ sion. So then, why do we hate more Jews are hated, except that some during these difficult times?

I think that what most nonChristians (I don't mean to de­ grade anyone with that term) fail to remember is that as fel­ low humans, Christians are more than capable of acciden­ tally (sometimes purposefully) hurting people and making bad mistakes. The only thing that Christians claim is to have re­ lief from the pain of those mis­ takes through Jesus Christ, who we believe to be the Son of God. Most people (though they will not admit it) are burdened down by their mistakes. If they do a little retrospect on their lives, they will realize that there are small things in their lives they would like to change, or be free of. Christians believe that Jesus is the only way to be free, and changed of those things. The evangelist did voice some Christian beliefs (along with a little self-righteousness), but he may have let a little humanity it slip in. Therefore, instead of getting the true theme of the Christian message across (which is that Jesus is the only way to be forgiven of sin and to enter into heaven), he let a little personal dogma and conviction turn his attempt of help­ ing people into a case of "throw­ ing stones." Christians aren't perfect, but we do try to hold on to Biblical truths about God and about man, even though we can't do that 100 percent of the time. To those who maybe were hurt or offended by the evangelist, I ask you to do what Christians are supposed Lo do, and that is forgive. Daniel Poole ASU Box 21120 Binge drinking is a problem To the Editor: This letter is in response to Bob Martus's opinion article, "There's nothing wrong with a little drinky." In response, I write "Every­ thing in moderation." The author of this article titled it: "There's nothing wrong with a little drinky" and then wrote about drinking 12 beers and said that four beers is notvery much. Hello! Maybe this is not much for an alcoholic, but four beers is a lot. I will try to break it down for you. Each beer has about six per­ cent alcohol in it. In a 12-ounce can, that is about one ounce of al­ cohol. In six beers, you have about half a can of alcohol flushing through your system. Consider our body has about six liters of blood in it. By putting such an amount of alcohol into your system, you boost your blood alcohol level immensely. So your blood alcohol was 20 percent when you got that DUI. That means there was about one liter of alcohol pumping through your system. Also, consider your body: a complex organism of muscles, bones, nerves, tissues, fluids and cells. An extremely important part of your body is your liver, which absorbs many of the chemicals in­ duced into your system such as alcohol and medicine. The perpetual abuse of your liver through alcohol consumption will cause chronic health problems to last the rest of your life. Bob writes that puking is a re­ sponse to a "higher power" con­ trolling his body. In fact, vomit is the response of the body to purge the excess alcohol which it can no longer tolerate. Yeah, hah hah, cause, as you should know by now, generalizations don't apply to in­ dividuals. So in general, don't gen­ eralize. The group that should prob­ ably be hated, if any, are white men. After all, who else has used a nuclear weapon to twice deci­ mate an entire country? And who else simultaneously kicked a race of people out of their homeland while enslaving another? And fi­ nally, who else feels as though they must police the world with their political and religious values while ignoring the plight of their own na­ tives?

Ol L jLj course, the lower the expenses you pay, the better. That way, more of your money goes where it should —towards building a comfortable future. We make low expenses a top priority. As the largest retirement system in the world1 —a nonprofit company focused exclu­ sively on the financial needs of the educational and research communities —our expenses aire among the lowest in the insurance and mutual fund industries. In fact, TIAA-CREF's 0.31% average fund expenses are less than half of the expense charges of comparable funds.3 It's why Morningstar— one of the nation's leading sources of annuity and mutual fund information — says, "At that level [TIAA-CREF] is cheaper than any other [variable annuity] policy, and is even comp " l" itive with the cheapest mutual fund complexes, though it offers far more benefits."4 "TIAA-CREF sets the standard in the financial services industry." Of course, expenses are only one factor to consider when you make an investment decision Morningstar also noted our commitment to "consumer education, service" and "solid investment performance. Because that can make a difference in the long run, too. At TIAA-CREF, we believe people would like to spend more in retirement, not on their retirement company.

His two turntables sit on marble ped­ estals, and the walls above them are lined with autographed photographs of musi­ cians that range from Madonna to RuPaul. He has been a DJ for over 15 years in places like New York City, Miami, West Palm Beach and now in Boone. He doesn't carry a flashy DJ name. He spins as DJ Scott Margolies. His music is his flash.

I Two years after "Life is Peachy" comes Blow the Leader." In case it wasn't burned up numerous turntables and speakers. Margolies says that his musical influ­ ences range from jazz to funk to blues to hip-hop, but he would categorize what he spins as club music with an underground twist. "It used to be a lot easier to label music," Margolies said, "but today it is almost impossible to categorize." Margolies describes his music as "freestyle music" with underground break­ beats. He admits, however, that the mu­ sic he plays varies with his mood. "People must come away from famil­ iarity and what the radio has spoon-fed them," Margolies said. Margolies has performed in Boone be­ fore. In 1993-94 he spun at what was then called Warsaw, the club located at the bar and lounge of the Quality Inn. At the time, Warsaw was drawing 300-500 people per night, and the line at the door stretched into the hotel lobby. He left Boone to DJ in South Beach and Miami. Now Margolies is back at the Quality Inn, where the bar and lounge have since been renamed The Red Room. Margolies compares the atmosphere of The Red Room to the rave scene, but he wants more than just the ravers to take him seriously. "The Red Room serves as an alterna­ tive, a place for people to step out of their skin and remove their masks. I want people to feel a sense of unity with every­ one around them. I want them to feel that it doesn't matter what they're wear­ ing, what car they pulled up in, or how much money they have. It should be an escape," Margolies said. Margolies wife, Kim, works as host­ ess of The Red Room. "Kim's job is to break down the walls established in college. Her job is to make sure that everyone has a good time and that everyone takes interest in other people, from football players to the fra­ ternity community to the hippie commu­ nity to the gay community," Margolies said. Margolies is not your mainstream DJ. His preparation for a performance is seri­ ous. "The day before I spin, I find myself in a trance-like state preparing myself mentally. I don't believe that those other DJs put the time and the energy into a performance as I do," Margolies said. Margolies also serves as one of Bill­ board Magazine's reporting DJs. He says that he gets four to 12 albums, CDs and other promotional items in the mail daily. While in Florida, Margolies formed a production company called "Prophets of Rage," where he produced and remixed music for over 10 different albums. He remixed a track for Toni Braxton and also did a track on the Mortal Combat soundtrack. Scott Margolies is an example of big city meeting country. His club sound screams New York or Miami, but some­ how it has found Boone. Margolies DJs The Red Room at the Quality Inn on Wednesdays and Saturdays and will be hosting a record release party with free pro­ motional items on September 12. 11 st * proven with their first two albums, Korn Only Korn can make the bagpipes lets it be known that they are one of the sound as if Satan, himself, is playing them. major forces in contemporary hard rock.

The premise behind this monthly event is to allow customers to leam more about a featured beer through tastings and discussions with representatives from each respective company. It also promotes a "marriage" among food and beer that is Caribbean's trademark. Each month (excluding October) will spotlight a new brewing company and a menu that will complete the overall din­ ing experience. The Pinehurst Villiage Brewery was selected as the inaugural participant. Lo­ cated in Aberdeen, N.C., the brewery pro­ duces three "double eagle" ales. The Golden , Scotch and Brown Ales are produced in fairly equal increments The 8500-square-foot brewery utilizes well water from the Aberdeen area. It takes an average of 2-3 weeks from start to finish to complete the brewing process. The average batch produces 1,200 gallons, or 80 kegs of beer. An interesting side-note about the company would have to be its graphic design and product promotion. Taking full advantage of its golf-laden surroundings, the Pinehurst Villiage Brewery has inte­ grated golf into its visage. The man seen golfing on their logo and drinking on its coasters is the grand­ father of its graphic designer. They also use traditional woods as tap handles for their draft beer. As if this wasn't enough, ghosted in the background of the logo is a scorecard from golf legend Ben Hogan when he scored a "double eagle" at a Pinehurst golf course. The event showcases each individual beer as it matches each section of the four course meal. The first selection was a Mesculin salad topped with a Mango vinaigrette which was complemented well by the ions weren't too overpowering. However, the feta cheese was rather weak. Next on the menu was a dish of roasted chili pepper enfused grits topped with a skewer of smoked sausage and shrimp accompanied by Pinehurst's Brown Ale. A brown ale in the truest sense, it had a balanced spicy tone. The sausage, kilbasa, went great with the ale and the shrimp went great with the grits. The spicy flavors of the grits distorted the taste of the Brown Ale, and the shrimp were too weak in flavor for the ale, yet the meal as a whole was a pleasant surprise. The main dish was a semi-boneless roasted duck cooked in a green pepper­ corn merlot sauce served with roasted garlic duchess potatoes and a melange of asparagus and yellow squash covered in a red bell pepper sauce. The Scotch Ale, very flavorful and the spiciest of the three ales, was a perfect compliment to the rich, succulent duck and the duchess potatoes. But the grilled vegetables seemed a bit disconnected from the remainder of the meal. ^ [° >e ie n" ie ^" ,e ie * ' ce ,l' 15 s" ^ a �(CAMPUS & COMMUNITY CALENDER Tonight 9/10 Karaoke Night*9:30 p.m.»$l»Charlie Horse 'Ever After' maintains ma^.

"What ijd Campbell ff Writer w*\ was particularly pleasing was that they tied it up at 1-1, and we im­ mediately scored two goals, mak­ ing the lead 3-1," said Kostecky. Kostecky believes that was a positive aspect that developed from the High Point game. "That is a sign of growth, when you give up a goal, and don't get down on yourself as a team," said Kostecky. The turning point of the game was taking a 2-1lead. "The second goal that Jordy Broader pushed by the keeper was a long ball that deflected off of a defender's head. That was the turning point of the game," said Kostecky. Kostecky began his quest to turn the soccer program around at Appalachian with a 1-0 victory against Radford, a team that beat ASU last year 2-1 in overtime. Broader also began his soccer career at Appalachian on a good foot, scoring his first college goal, which would be enough, as the Mountaineers shutout Radford. Broader's goal came in the 19th minute of play, as he received a pass from teammate Jeremy Marsh, catching keeper Sacha Drouin out of the box. "I was pretty happy- happy for the team, just happy for all of us," said Broader about his first goal as a Mountain­ eer. It is evident that one of ASU's strengths this year will be defense. Kostecky comments, "One of our biggest strengths is that we can defend well. I think that was obvious tonight." Defensively, the Mountaineers are sound, and Kostecky has been pleased so far with that aspect of their game. As a result of the solid defense, keeper Eric Gibney only had to make six saves against Radford. "It is easy to hold a shutout when your team gives 110 percent. You re­ ally don't have to make too many saves," said Gibney. Gibney is quick to give credit to the de­ fense and the rest of his team for their opening win. "A big reason for the solid play on defense is a result of teamwork," Gibney pointed out. Jeremy Marsh, a native of Tal­ lahassee, Fla., made a tremendous save to secure the Mountaineers' win. "It was incredible. I pretty much misjudged the ball, and the guy rode me right off of the ball. Jeremy was right there, and that m o? m mm M4 1HI 1 m. *8 • 9k 1 g&gpl A if > Gabe Story and an east Carolina player butt heads over who will get the ball (photos by Lindsay Lang) was nice to see," commented Gibney about the save. The Mountaineers' energy and excitement can be seen in all fac­ ets of the game. However, defense is the one word that is always men­ tioned. Hemphill agrees, "De­ fensively, we were all over the place, and Eric came up really big for us. His defense was outstanding." Appalachian viewed the game against Radford as a good stepping stone. Hemphill commented, "The team's morale is at an all-time high Kostecky right now." Kostecky would like to see his team improve on possessing and passing the ball. "When we get the ball, we need to play on the ground more," said Kostecky. He was excited to get his first win as a Mountaineer, and excited for the team as well. "I have been looking forward to it," Kostecky said. "I just wanted to make sure; the team was rewarded for their efforts and ability. These guys are a good team, and they deserve the results." He attributes the 4-0 start to one simple aspect: attitude. The Mountaineers believe that they have something to prove. Hemphill agrees, "We were picked sixth in the pre-season Southern Conference poll, and we are look­ ing to gain respect by playing con­ sistently." Kostecky believes that his team also has an attitude to suc­ ceed. "They want to show eveiyone that they are good," he said. The biggest reason for the 4-0 start is a coach that believes in his players. "I believe in them, and people respond best when you be­ lieve in them," Kostecky said.

Harrelson's finish in 18:01 set a new Appalachian sophomore record as well as her new per­ sonal best for the course. Also achieving a personal record on Appalachian's home course was seventh place Laura Walkup, and rounding out Appalachian's top three was freshman Heather Needham. "Our primary focus is on later meets," said women's Coach Ben Thomas. "We hope to be ready by mid-October, and until then, we must continue to train and stay healthy." Despite the women's second place finish, both coaches are en­ couraged by Saturday's results, yet still hope to improve before the conference championships. Said Thomas.

Ian Hutchinson was headed ss the street away from Kerr as he was hit by a car and iwn to the ground on his back, graduate student Heath Gal,y, who witnessed the account. "I was about 40 to 60 yards rosef's away, and I heard screeching tires. I looked down and saw a guy ly­ ing in the intersection," Galloway said. After being struck, Hutchinson landed eight to 10 feet away, Gal­ loway said. Being a Wilderness First Re­ sponded Galloway rushed to assess the scene. Hutchinson seemed to sustain only minor injuries, includ­ ing a skinned knee, stomach and cheek, he said. "I could not tell if his ear or his head was bleeding, but he seemed to have the most blood on his face," Galloway said. "He was responsive and able to tell us his name." Luckily, an ambulance hap­ pened to be about five cars back in traffic and was able to arrive on the scene within a minute of the accident. Sophomore Amy Finkelstein also witnessed the accident. "I saw a car hit the guy, and he went into the air and fell onto the ground," Finkelstein said. "It seemed to be very serious, and he could not move." Dean of Students Barbara Daye arrived on the scene shortly after. Daye did not see the accident but proceeded to the Watauga Medical Center to check on Hutchinson's condition. Hutchinson was able to com­ municate with Daye and his sister Lauren about the events preced­ ing the accident.

World War II had started in December of 1941, and several of the le students had already volunteered for military service and were J longer on campus. Jim Storie, editor of the annual, the Rhododenn, had volunteered and left for the Navy in early March. Deadlines for the annual were to be met, and members of the staff |re working long hours in order to meet these deadlines. On one h late night, arranging pages, were Associate Editor Elizabeth South, fishman Editor Lloyd Isaacs and the Observer Printing House Com| representative Bill Mitchell. ly Realizing there was an imbalance of arrangement on the last page eshman pictures, a .solution was sought with various suggestions g made by the three. For years, the appellation of "Mountaineer" had been used for the is of Appalachian State Teaching College (ASTC, before the days of ), with the campus book store, managed by "Twin" Cottrell having als with an appropriate profile. The "Mountaineer" had already been selected to grace the cover of annual, but with an original updated version being used. It was gested that the space on the freshman page be filled with a likeness he Mountainee- and Bill Mitchell thought his publishing company lists could render an appropriate sketch to agree with the annual's er. It was thought by the three that the name of the "student" should | such to apply to all the "Mountaineer" students of ASTC. Bantering jjck and forth, it was felt that Daniel Boone was the prototype of a jfiuntaineer. To emphasize that all the freshman students should embrace the alty and feeling for the "Mountaineers," some name should indicate fet this "student" represented them all. "D. Boone, You, Yourself" was tied upon as the choice. The "You" was dropped for conservation of ce. However, the printer at the publishing company misunderstood apostrophe used to shorten the name to "Yo'self" as well as misre! ling the "self" to "Seff," which evolved from "Yourself" to "Yoseff." • In later years, even this spelling was changed. "Yosef" has become a symbol of the ASU teams: strong, indepen­ dent and full of enthusiastic school spirit. Sometimes he is ridicu­ lously, cartoonishly and exaggeratedly portrayed, and at other times, he is portrayed with more appropriate demeanor, as a tall, slender, strong Mountaineer, representing all students of ASU. The cover of the 1942 Rhododendron provided by Storie — — Leslie Hitchcock News Editor Classes will be canceled on Sept. 15, not only for the convoca­ tion ceremony, but for the inaugu­ ral "Focus Day." Students who enrolled in fall 1998 will be administered tests in writing, critical thinking or read­ ing. The testing should assess the learning outcomes of students, said Acting Director of Assessment Dr. Randy Swing. Students will be randomly se­ lected to take either the reading or math and science tests, Sept. 15. The reading tests will be the standard ACT that will compare students nationally. According to Swing, the math and science test is unique in that it was devised by professors in the math and science departments. "We want to know if (stu­ dents) learned what we wanted to teach them," Swing said. That is why a standardized test was not used, he said. Assessment testing is growing in need in the surrounding states, Swing said. Universities in Virginia and South Carolina are receiving fund­ ing based on assessment perfor­ mance, and that will make its way into North Carolina, Swing said. The Southern Association of Schools, which accredits Appala­ chian State, "expects us to show that we are assessing students' learning to meet the standards of quality," said Swing. Students who take the tests will earn the right to register early for spring semester. Swing urges all freshmen to take the tests. "Unless we have high participation, we can't deter­ mine the results," he said.. There will be three make-up tests for those who miss the origi­ nal date. According to Swing, stu­ dents only need to show up at the site. Additional information on the time periods will be sent to stu­ dents through campus mail. "Students need to watch their mail boxes in the next few days for admit tickets," Swing said. The ticket will tell the student where to take the test. Testing will occur from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Another Focus Day will be held on January 21. Students who entered Appalachian in fall 1997 will receive tests similar to ones they took during phase one orien­ tation, Swing said. "The students will take the same test, but in a different ver­ sion, to see if college has changed their answers," said Swing.

The competitions are venues for the various schools that have SIFE teams, Parrish said. The teams come together to look back on the past 12 months. Each team showcases projects sponsored the previous year. The competitions involve pre­ senting a written annual report and oral presentation to a panel of judges. The judges are corpo­ rate executive officers of compa­ nies from around the country, said Parrish. SIFE, presenting its first an­ nual report, was in competition with over 500 teams from colleges and universities all over the world. SIFE's mission is to educate both students and adults on the importance of free enterprise and the country's economic system. The club carries out its mission by hosting various projects through­ out the year President of SIFE Chad Kauffman stated that the organi­ zation was founded by Sam Walton, the founder and entrepre­ neur of Wal-Mart Stores, Incorpo­ rated, in 1972. "Wal-Mart is a large contributor, in fact, one of the founding corporations of SIFE," rr CC 'J Kauffman said. The international SIFE orga­ nization is run as a business, with Alvin Rohers as corporate execu­ tive officer. SIFE is an interdisciplinary club with less than half of its mem­ bers from the College of Business, said Kauffman. The club is inter­ national, with teams in Kurgistan, Kozistan and South Africa. "The international market is really starting to grow. The teams are starting to catch on," stated Kauffman. Some of SIFE's past projects include a play, "Making the Most of Your Money," written by four or five students. The play, performed by stu­ dents in the club, was targeted to­ wards and performed for elemen­ tary students. SIFE administered a test be­ fore and after the performance to see how much was known and then learned. The play taught the impor­ tance of economics, such as sav­ ing and earning money. SIFE's future plans include an Entrepreneur Series in the spring of 1999, where the club will bring in successful entrepreneurs, said Kauffman. �AAI1 AZ KA IK AO OM XQ Looking for a Place to > 3 Belong?

As construction on and around campus continues to manifest and snowball, the frustration levels tend to do much the same. As students and adults of the techno­ logical age, we are all for change and growth. But in a town the size of Boone, its poor, weakening walls can only handle the weight of so many construction projects. The decision to begin large road projects on all of the major roads leaving and enter­ ing Boone, coincidentally, was probably not the best choice. We all experience the continuing frus­ tration as we try to head down Rivers Street and are confronted with road crews clad in orange vests. Frustrations grow as crews stop traffic going both ways to tear up the 105 Exten­ sion. When, exactly, do they plan to finish that road? As long as we can remember, road crews have greeted us with a friendly wave of their big stop sign. Would someone also please explain why workers choose to tear up 321 right in front of Wendy's around lunch time? This is just too stupid to spend time digressing. We must commend the workers in some respects. We did begin to see the winds of progress blow this summer as construction on the Convocation Center slowly pro­ gressed. However, their choice to complete the pretty little park is quite confusing. They spent many hours finishing an aesthetically pleasing park that now resides beside a mound of dirt with a few overgrown sticks protruding from its foundation. We just thought the logical route would have been to focus on the large Convoca­ tion Center first, followed by the vegetation and landscaping. Every aspect of campus, every nook and cranny, seems to be plagued with construc­ tion, road work or some other form of traf­ fic-stopping disturbance. Our suggestion would be to pick a project, concente all efforts, and complete the project, rather than jumping in head first with numerous construction sites. All of these problems seem to have simple solutions. However, keeping with the great mystery of construction, we are sure there is a driving force governing all of the projects. Perhaps it is too simple for our complex minds to understand. The Appalachian is run and produced by Ap­ palachian State University students.

Well, there is a simple solution to your problem: binge drinking. Drinking a few beers on any given night is not the worst thing you can do to your body. We all know that there are several normal daily routines that are more unhealthy than drink­ ing, such as smoking or eating large amounts of fast food. Before I go any further, I must say I do not agree with alcohol as a means for constant escape from stress. Let­ ting alcohol run your life is sad, and it is a problem that must be dealt with sufficiently. So, in other words, don't drink all of the time or allow yourself to become a slave to the botde. Binge drinking is defined as the consumption of four Bob Martus or five or more alcoholic beverages in one sitting. When Staff Writer I think about my personal drinking habits, I must binge drink, because four beers really isn't all that much. If you simply go by definition alone about binge drinking, then al­ most every male college student that I know is a binge drinker. Since most college students do drink, then I would go so far as to say that those who don't are deviant by the very definition of deviance. Deviant behavior, after all, is anything that goes against the social norm. With heavy consumption of alcohol, there is always the threat of nausea. For me, puking is a sign that a higher power is in control, not me. Have you ever noticed how sometimes you can drink a 12-pack and not vomit, but other times a six-pack will do you in? Puking is an element that is accepted when one drinks, but along with every other complication, it soon passes and only affects you if you let it affect you. If you throw up after drinking, then hopefully you will learn to better prepare yourself for the next drinking experience. I think that it all boils down to the fact that people are afraid that some college students are having a little too much fun. In this article, I will leave out my personal opinions about conservative Christians and their social affect, but I will say that it is unfair to tell us what to do with our lives. The occasional drunken episode is not "wrong,", but in the eyes of some, it is considered immoral. To those of you who are attempting to invade my life, I say: Deal. Drink, have fun, but please don't be a fool Binge drinking is a problem and a hassle for everyone involved. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, 44 percent of college students are binge drinkers. As Bob pointed out, binge drinking is defined as five or more drinks in a row for men at a time and four or more drinks for a woman at a time. Herein lies the dilemma. Most people in college drink to get drunk, which makes sense. The problem exists when these people who get drunk don't know how qr when to stop. These people are problem drinkers. This does not necessarily mean that they have a problem with alcohol, it means that they are a problem to themselves as well as the people around them. First, let me say that there is nothing wrong with drinking in itself. It is a great social activity, and it's fun to drink with your Deanna Tanner friends. But, like all indulging activities, it can be overdone. The Staff Writer *east se"ous °f the problems that are caused by a binge drinker js the general disorientation that comes with it. You might wake up with a hangover and then you have regrets about some of the things you might have said or done. Many times students participate in unplanned and unprotected sexual activity. People often get violent and argue with friends or strangers. This could lead to personal damage as well as property damage. This, obviously, could get expensive. Also, there is a risk of blood-alcohol poisoning, which can lead to long-term illness or death. And let's not forget those wonderful people who drive after drinking. A person who has been on a binge seems to be more likely to drive than a person who has simply had a couple of beers, since their inhibitions are lower and their since of invulnerability is higher. This puts too many innocent people in danger. I know that none of this is news to you all. If you do not care about any of these things, then maybe you should at least worry about your friends. The main thing to worry about is getting sick. The fact of the matter is that nobody wants to be there when it happens. Some of your friends might feel obligated to help you while you are in. this position. So while you are hanging over the toilet, your friends are quickly losing their "buzz" in an effort to help you. At this point, not too many people want to be near you, because you smell, and you have made a fool out of yourself. Even worse, any decent reputation that you are trying to establish will probably be ruined, and years from now, people will still be talking about the things that you have done. So, for the sake of everyone involved, especially yourself, control your drinking. You'll have a better time, and people will still enjoy your company the next day.

Matthew and Heather Terraciano Fortunately, the students were kind enough to let ASU Box 11045 Parking Rage To the Editor: I have just finished reading the editorial sec­ tion for Aug. 27. A point has been brought up about a problem 1 have addressed before: the oxymoron of ASU Security (especially the traffic section). 1 I agree whole-heartedly with Steve Lockyer on the disabled parking and Mike Daniels for parking in general. I am sure the opinions expressed per­ taining to the traffic people are actually more col­ orful than those implied. Having spent several years in law enforcement, I can understand the need to have some sort of control for a situation. However, ASU Security is the biggest farce, even in comparison to a grade school crossing guard. It boils down to two things: one being money, and the other is the egotists that do it because they can. The individuals used for issuing legalized ex­ tortion are some of the lowest of low -lifes imagin­ able. During the summer, two of these were riding at night in the Mountaineer Apartments parking lot and almost ran me over by not watching as they were turning around, so they could zoom in on a suspected parking violator at about 9:30. I men­ tioned it to the guy that got out and got a smartmouth saying, "Good evening to you," in a nasty way. As they left, the driver-initiated a quick blast on the emergency sound equipment. I called the traffic desk to complain and received another smart mouth that said I had to be stupid and that blue Chevy Blazers did not have that equipment (I confirmed later that one actu­ ally does). I called the Security desk to which I was told a supervisor would call me. The incident was on a Saturday night, and I was finally called on Monday. While talking to the supervisor of the traffic section, I began to discuss handicapped parking. I was told that with a plate or placard, you could park in the handicapped or 20-minute zones without having an ASU sticker. Yes, I have Disabled Veteran plates on my ve­ hicle. To show you how intelligent these people are, one year, I had to remove my plate and photocopy it and my placard in order to get the handicapped sticker. The person would only say they had to conform to a state issued system. How much more state issued can it be? The list goes on and on about how ignorant these so-called professionals are. Another situation on a different note occurred when one of these wannabes passed me on Blow­ ing Rock Road and went into Wal-Mart. I observed this individual go in, walk around, and check out the car stereo section. He was in there for about 20 minutes from the time I had started looking at the time. I know ASU Security has a new Chief, so I won't say anything about him or his policy (yet). How­ ever, I hope he has the insight to understand that good police/community relations are not being practiced in any form by his department. Sorry, the letter they put out once in a while does not count. What happened to the old saying "To Protect and Serve?" I guess it is now "forget protect and serve as long as we can serve ourselves."

Hartog a concerned parent who does read your paper online! andrewh@shadow.net A few points to make To the Editor: My name is Michael S. Ackerman. I am a senior History-Secondary Education ma­ jor. I am a non-traditional student. I came out of the workforce and chose to put my money into this institution for an education. I have three concerns that I think should be immediately addressed. I feel very strongly about these con­ cerns, and I think that you will find that many other students feel just as strongly as I do. 1) Why are upper level classes being sacrificed to support the need for more freshman level classes, without any consideration to the difficulties to juniors and seniors that these cancellations cause? For example, the history de­ partment already does not have enough upper level classes as it is, but because of pressure from your (the chancellor's) office to offer more freshman level world civili­ zation classes, the department was forced to drop many of its 3000 level special course classes, one of which I needed to graduate. Shouldn't there be a suitable alternative worked out to offer stu- Established in North Carolina in 1872, BB&T is rated as one of the country's safest and soundest financial services corporations and a top 30 performer in the United States, offering career opportunit­ ies in the financial services industry. Our successful marketing of products and services, backed by a 126 year history of solid financial performance, excellence in client service, commitment to a community partnership, and the latest in industry technologies, create outstanding career opportunit­ ies for highly motivated, sales - oriented individuals. The BB&T Management Development Program (MDP) is a structured training program that provides future managers of BB&T with a working knowledge of the basic fundamentals of banking. The training is concentrated in four major areas: commercialTending, retail lending, trust services and insurance services. All concentrations consist of an intensive eight-month curriculum including classroom and on-the-job training with an emphasis in providing excellent service to our clients. dents before the courses are can­ celed? Why were we not notified immediately after the courses were canceled? The only reason I found out about my course being canceled was by accident. A friend just hap­ pened to call TRS to check on an­ other class when he found out about the course being canceled. It was only after I went to the his­ tory office to complain that a let­ ter was sent out to notify students of the cancellations, about five weeks after the classes had been canceled. If I had not found out about this when I did, my financial aid would have been negatively af­ fected, and my status as a full-time student would have been affected. 2) Student teaching is an in­ ternship. Why is it that it is the only internship on campus where there is not even the opportunity to find one that pays the student? Why are students told that while they stu­ dent teach they are not allowed to go out and work during their free time? This is the only internship on campus, that I know of, that forces students to comply with such strin­ gent rules. Personally, I have bills I have to pay, and food I have to buy. Financial aid does not even come close to covering all of these costs. How will I get by if I am forced to work over eight hours a day for free, and then not be able to have a part-time job in my spare time to make some money? I do not mean to sound whiny, but students like myself that are preparing to student teach ask this question every semester. If this continues to be the policy of the state of North Carolina and the College of Education, then why aren't the students given a break on tuition or given an additional monthly stipend to help defray some of these costs during Student Teaching? 3) If a student interns or stu­ dent teaches outside of Boone, North Carolina or the United States, why does he or she have to pay fees for services he or she will not use? Students are forced to pay ath­ letic, Health Services, rental text­ book and other campus fees when they are not going to be on cam­ pus to use them; even when they are not in the country, they still have to pay. This again adds more hardship to a requirement that many stu­ dents have to meet if they want to graduate, (refer to concern #2). I think that students doing their in­ ternships should be given the op­ tion of whether or not they want to pay those fees, contingent upon whether or not they will use the services during their internships.

The house itself proves to be quite spectacular, but details create the ambi­ ance of Biltmore. In each room, every picture, every night stand, every pool cue relates to a story. The delicate ivory chess set rest­ ing on a walnut game table, which be­ longed to Napoleon Bonaparte and on which the emperor's heart was laid in a silver urn just before his burial, tells a story.

The 12 canvas ceiling paintings by Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini, once located in the ballroom of the Pisani Palace in Venice, tell a story. The indoor pool and bowling alley add to the story of a palace in the moun­ tains of North Carolina. As if the house itself were not enough, Vanderhilt also created a proverbial Gar­ den of Eden to surround he and his fam­ ily. After building a conservatory to pro­ duce exotic and indigenous plants for the gardens, the landscaper, Olmsted, also created farmlands and commercial timber forests on the estate.

That is the name of the band and that is literally what they can play. It is the best way to describe this eclectic six-member band from the Blue Ridge Mountains of VA. Their first major label record is called "Super Natural" and can be found on the Blackbird/Sire record label. It has been out since March of this year and has been getting some heavy airtime around the country. "Super Natural" is an 11 song release that touches on various influences ranging from new rock, funk and R&B. The album has done a great job in catching Everything's abilities and strengths. What makes this album so good? The horns. There are same really sweet sounding saxophone as a song can get. Imagine seeing the same girl on campus over and over again and finally getting the nerve to ask her out. Before you do so, listen to this song over and over again. It makes so much sense that you wished you would have written it. The entire album is full of tal­ ented musicianship. All six mem­ bers of Everything blend together to create a musical masterpiece. They use some very unusual in­ struments on the album, like the moog and penny whisde, to add to their diverse range. Some more mundane but equally gifted uses of the trombone, tenor and alto saxes, clarinet, keyboard and gui­ tars fill the rest of the mold. Perhaps my favorite song on the album is 'Time Will Heal Me". It is a mix of old R&B with a touch of an 80's love song. Maybe it is just my luck with women that makes me love this song so much or even because it is about mov­ ing on with your life after some­ thing bad happens to you. Either way, the song hits a note that is close to home every time I hear it. Overall I give this album two thumbs-up and a fivestar slap on the back.

We So why didn't Appalachian's highly d about it, and with the situation with successful third-year coach take his former ns :amily and how we love it here, we roommate's advice? Itor-in-Chief Besides his family and their ties to the area, Peterson said that pressure on him in Chicago would have been tremendous. While Peterson was being courted by the Bulls, dozens of reporters from Chicago called his office to scope him out and find out whether he knew what Jordan would do. "As soon as I'd have taken that job, if I'd gone up there and he'd play well, I'd probably have been a hero... If he didn't, they would have run me out of town," said Peterson of the pressure the media in Chi­ cago would have put on him. Another one of Peterson's reasons for staying is to accomplish all of the goals he set for himself when he was named coach in the spring of 1996. "We're reaching some of our goals, but there are more goals we want to get to. We want to get to the NCAA's. We were one game short (last season) and we want to get there," said Peterson. Peterson also said that he has never really had a desire to coach in the NBA. "I have no plans of moving on or going anywhere else. My goal was to be a Divi­ sion I head coach. That's what I wanted." Peterson is enjoying himself too much in Boone to want to leave. "It's fun to see that the interest in the student body and the community is really picking up... I'm having a good time. My family is happy. We love this community. What else could I ask for?" Peterson ended the 1997-98 season with a 21-8 record (photo by Justin Griffin). Id SU men's basketball Appalachian football team to start season pam adds assistant coach against Liberty Saturday night h Diggers j Writer H ee Jhe Appalachian State men's basketfleam added a new member to their last week, Assistant Coach Kerry gfell, maybe Keating is not so new all, at least not to Head Coach Buzz son. Seating teamed up with Peterson durie '94-'95 season at Vanderbilt. His s at Vanderbilt included scouting, luling, and working with the team's :ourt players. We are very excited to have Keating lis,"' said Peterson. "While on staff her at Vanderbilt, I had the chance ee that Keating has what it :...loyalty, hard work, and drive." [Although Keating's recent move to ilachian has cost him a cut in pay, he |s oblivious to the fact. "I would rather ippy," Keating commented. "It may fhow up in my bank account, but I re rewards internally." dating seems undaunted by the lower pay and the lower overall ranking of the Southern Conference in basketball. "I wouldn't have come down here unless I was prepared to give Buzz and the team 110% every day of the week,"said Keating. The last three years of Keating's ca­ reer were spent assisting at Seton Hall University, his alma mater. His responsi­ bilities were player development, pre-season conditioning, and running the school's summer basketball camps. Keating's ex­ perience does not stop there. Before the '94-'95 season, Keating as­ sisted at Wake Forest, which is where his career began. His roles there were the team's film exchange and scouting. As the assistant coach of the Deamon Deacons, Keating helped the team advance to the NCAA Tournament with a 21-12 record. As for the upcoming season, Peterson and Keating are looking to knock off what will be two giants in the Southern Con­ ference. Peterson is looking forward to taking out Charleston. Keating's mission, on the other hand, is simple. "I came down here to help beat Davidson," he said. '-hired Assistant Coach Kerry Keating left Seaton Hall to take a fcition on Peterson's staff (photo by Richard Thomas). David Jackson Staff Writer At the Southern Conference Football Rouser in the end of July, Mountaineer Head Coach Jerry Moore tried to lead re­ porters away from the "revenge" scenario when it came to talking about his squad's 1998 opener against Liberty. "Last year was last year," Moore said to numerous writers at the event. "This is a new season, with new personnel, and this game is important for us in that it sets the tone of the early season. Sure, there will be some feelings of revenge, but it will not be an overriding factor," he stated. If you would have been at the open­ ing of football camp during the first week of August, Coach Moore's team would have shown you a different sentiment. "We want these guys bad," sopho­ more offensive linesman Billy Young said, following one of the team's early twicea-day workouts. "You just cannot come into our house and beat us like that, and expect to get away with that. We will get our revenge," Young added. The quest for that revenge be­ gins Saturday night, at 7 p.m., in Kidd Brewer Stadium, as the Mountaineers host the team that robbed them of a play-off berth following an emotional final six weeks of the 1997 season. "We had a great run at the end of the season," Moore said at the rouser. "In that last game against Liberty, there were just some things that did not quite go our way." Moore was illuding to a string of bizarre plays in the fourth quar­ ter of last year's battle with the Flames that let Appalachian's chance at a birth to the NCAA Di­ vision I-AA playoffs slip away. Liberty returned two Bake Baker interceptions during the fi­ nal period, and perhaps most bi­ zarre of all, the Flames iced the game with a PAT interception re­ turn with 4:27 left in the contest. So Liberty should come in tere with a world of confidence against this year's Mountaineer squad, right? Well, not exactly. Despite a 9-2 overall record as a I-AA Independent, the Flames were shutout of the post-season playoffs, which the Flames Head Coach Sam Rutigliano said his team did not appreciate, after costing the school's best overall record in their history. "Our guys will be up for the game, simply because we want that play­ off berth," Rutigliano said. "As a I-AA In­ dependent, we know coming into any given season that we have to have every game to assure ourselves of post-season play," he stated. "It was hard for these guys to go 9-2 and have to stay home Thanksgiving weekend. We think of Appalachian as a tournament-caliber team, and a win against them early may help us out down the road," Rutigliano said. Rutigliano believes the winning atti­ tude that accompanied his 1997 squad will stick around another year, as he returns the "nucleus" of last year's group. However, to come to Boone, and steal two games in a row from a talented, deep, Appalachian team may be a task that is too tall to order. The Mountaineers will throw one of the deepest offenses and most punishing defenses that has run out of the tunnel in recent years. Sophomore David Reaves will get the starting nod at the quarterback slot, but look for sophomore transfer Daniel Jeremiah to get at least one series be­ hind center. Senior tight end Frank Leatherwood, junior Joey Gibson, and sophomore Daryl Skinner highlight a strong receiving corp that returns from last year's squad. On the defensive side of the ball, the Hall Brothers (Corey and Joey) look to spark a defense that was punishing, at times, during pre-season workouts. Se­ nior Adam Neiheisel returns to the fray after being out for much of 1997 with an injury. Defensive end Rocky Hunt, and line­ backers Joe Best and Darrel Wilson also looked good in pre-season workouts. Do not look for a Mountaineer pity party Saturday night when these two teams take the field for the second time in as many games. Though Appalachian would like nothing more than to send Liberty home with a loss to start the season, the team also knows that a win would more im­ portantly giye the Apps a head start on reaching the playoffs for the first time since the magical season of 1995. �Septal1 Page 10 NEWS Appalachian News appears in each issue of the paper.

Maybe you were the unlucky one that t caught. According to Deputy Clerk of Court ris King at the Watauga County Courtuse, 75 percent of the people that pay Irinking ticket don't realize that the ket will become a part of their record d stay with them forever. If someone has told you that a drinkI ticket doesn't go on your criminal :ord, then you've been mislead, said tg"If you are issued one of these citans, and you come in and just pay it off, ;n you're admitting guilt," said King.

Nathanial Kite Staff Writer Above and below: Evangelist Gary Birdsong travels to cam­ puses around the country bringing his message, (photos by Richard Thomas) Hell's angel turned Christian evange­ list, Gary Birdsong, visited the Appala­ chian State campus Friday, drawing the attention of both students and faculty. Preaching a right-wing conservative message aimed at converting students to his "true Christian message," Birdsong in­ cited strong opinions from the surround­ ing crowd which numbered from 12 to 100 at a time. Birdsong offended many students when he referred to them as "lost souls." In reference to gays, Birdsong said, "AIDS is a judgement of homosexuals [and] a punishment for fornicators." Birdsong was no less harsh in his statements toward others, stating, "Women should not be wearing jewelry or dressing in pants ... and it is a sin for men to have long hair." On music, Birdsong rhymed, "rap rap, crap crap" as he declared both rap and rock 'n' roll music sinful. These statements generated interest and sparked the loudest response from the students. Local police were forced to in­ tervene at one point when Birdsong asked the angry students to step back. Most of the arguments against Birdsong were not voiced by disbeliev­ ers as much as by fellow Christians. At one point, a ring of ten students joined hands and prayed in protest. Young Life leader for Watauga High School Reggie Hunt spoke openly against Birdsong. "I am a Christian, but not like this guy...I love Christ, and I don't want [Birdsong] scaring these people off of Christianity. He never once mentioned the love of Christ [in preaching] his hellfire and brimstone," said Hunt. Still many remained unaffected by Birdsong's message. Only 100 feet away, a group of Hare Krishnas peacefully chanted and contin­ ued to play spiritual music during the epi­ sode. When asked his opinion on Birdsong, Adi Karta, one of the Krishnas, said that he disagreed with him. He did, however, note that by chal­ lenging peoples' beliefs, Birdsong had the effect of bringing people to inquire about the Krishnas, too. ASU Dean of Students Barbara Daye also felt that Birdsong had a surprisingly positive effect on the university. "1 think he stimulates people. He's making stu­ dents think. They're listening and think­ ing of ways to challenge him. I like to see Birdsong page 2 Birdsong's views were seen as combative by many students who listened to his speech. ^ew logo design to be ready for centennial celebration Chattanooga's letters e similar to the design fat SME Design created or Appalachian State. Leslie Hitchcock News Editor In order to consolidate the various logos floating around Appalachian State, a committee has been charged with cre­ ating a logo that all facets of ASU can iden­ tify with. The committee is a cross-section of campus made up of students, faculty, staff, coaches and alumni, said Director of the Center for Student Involvement and Lead­ ership Dino DiBernardi. It involves a diverse group so that no group's opinions have been overlooked, DiBernadi said. The new logo will be released for the centennial celebration. Historically, there has never been an institutionally endorsed logo, DiBernardi said. The athletic department's "Block A" and other designs that appear on cloth­ ing are several of the individual logos that the university uses. The committee began meeting in May to initially decide what was not wanted in a logo. "When you know what you don't like, then it helps you to know what you do like," DiBernardi said. ASU approached SME Design Inc., a design company out of New York, to cre­ ate the new logo. Having created the updated logos for schools such as UNC-Chapel Hill and Temple University, SME tries to find the target audience and marketability of a school before designing the logo, said Se­ nior Marketing Director Mark Peterson. Peterson said that SME researchers spent a day on campus "looking for the essence of campus and conducting inter­ views" with students, faculty and staff. "We found that the mountains and the environment were important to the cam­ pus, so we built that into the logo," Peterson said. The logo is based on the theory of Grandfather Mountain, said Peterson. The head of a mountaineer emerges from what appears to be a rolling mountain, similar to the faces carved on Mount Rushmore. The mountaineer appearance is left mostly to the imagination, in that the peaks create a face, hat and beard. Under the mountain is the phrase "Appalachian Mountaineers," which is written in gold block letters. The letters grow progressively larger and rise at a di­ agonal angle, creating the sense of mo­ tion, Peterson said. "We feel that it captures tradition, but it is exciting and energetic," Peterson said. Committee co-chairman Mark Dreibelbis believes that the logo brings a consistency that can be built between the sports teams. He said that this logo will form an identity for the university. Contrary to popular belief, Yosef is not the school logo, DiBernardi said. Yosef is the ASU mascot which represents the uni­ versity at sporting events. Yosef will be updated before the cen­ tennial celebration as well, said DiBernardi. "The mascot will be more challeng­ ing (to update) because more people iden­ tify with Yosef," he said. "Everyone has their own definition of him." Senior Ian Adams, a guard on the ASU basketball team, liked the look of the pro­ spective logo and felt it will be a good tran­ sition. "It was a creative idea. The whole committee has put forth a lot of hard work for the centennial," said Adams. �2 SePtemb( erif IN THE NEWS SGA urges students to be Senators Jennifer Wysmuller Staff Writer Getting involved on campus is easier than some may think, ac­ cording to Appalachian State Stu­ dent Government Association (SGA) Vice President Christy Bajrrick. , According to Barrick, SGA will hold annual elections to give 77 students an opportunity to better serve their university on Sept 9- 10. .

This one's from the "People will hate you now" file. As we have all recently seen on Sanford Mall, our lives can be bombarded by religionJay Ware spilling, Bible-misquoting morons. Opinion Editor Yet they are not the only ones who are leading an assault on our state of mind. I am extremely frustrated with the close-minded, condescending Christian groups on campus. "We have the answer!" They yell to me as I pass by their pamphlet-filled hands and empathetic eyes. "Yeah, right," I think to myself, as I pop my favorite Tool CD into my portable player to drown out their incan­ tations. I don't need an afterlife insurance policy right now, thanks. And I don't need to be told that I'm sinful and will be punished for my actions, when all I'm trying to do is mind my own business and keep my reli­ gious views to myself. Don't get me wrong. I don't have a problem with right-wing religious groups. They have a right to believe anything they wish to believe. Just leave me alone! You might think that you have the key to ul­ timate happiness, but here's the eye-opening part: you're not the only one. Not one of you can corner the market on universal morality, so stop claiming that you can. Not everyone needs to be saved, and no, I don't want the easy-to-read, complete-with-pictures version of the New Testament handed to me when I'm simply attempting to check my mail. Let me also ^ lift \ add that many of * *• •* the members of " v V these groups that attempt to spread the "good word" don't even understand the history or "^Blg nature of the book that they ris flail wildly in the faces of the doomed. Do not get the false impres­ sion that the Bible somehow simply fell to the earth from the heavens in it's perfect form. If you've ever even heard of the Apocry­ pha or read about the history of Catholicism, then you know that Christianity has a history of mixing politics and bloody war into the re­ ligion, which has altered the way in which you now view Christian concepts. Also, I can't understand the ignorance and hatred that many of these groups tend to spread like a mind-numbing plague. I can't couiiL liie iiumuci of times I have heard ho­ mosexuals and philosophically liberal people bashed by Southern Baptists who, five minutes later, will continue to speak of the far-extend­ ing reach of Jesus' love. The last time kehecked, Jesus was the guy who was hanging out with the lepers, bathing the feet of prostitutes, and healing the downtrodden of society with love, not with burning crosses. To those of you who are now thinking to yourself, "I don't fit into those categories of prejudice," 1 would say, good. Don't start. Just try to remember one thing (and 1 know you'll hate me for this one): you do not have The Answer, you only have an answer for yourself. If this article seems harsh, > then it's because I've been treated harshly. To better make my point, let me give you an example of a situation where you would feel the same way that I do. Remember the last time you were visited by a Jehovah's Witness? Do you re­ member how they tried to force their literature into your hands and tell you that if you would just listen to them, there was a still a chance you could attain "salvation?" At what point did you wish to in­ troduce their skull to the nearest blunt object? Keep that thought in mind the next time you are condescending to un­ interested students with your rhetoric and literature. Much ado about nothing Lewinsky scandal hides the true conspiracy involving Clinton Ask independent prosecutor Ken Starr about the "big one" that got away, and more than likely, he won't say anything about the con­ troversy with Monica Lewinsky, or even mention Whitewater. While the networks and the news channels continue to hype Justin Griffin the Lewinsky trial, there is an Sports Editor even bigger scandal surround­ ing the Clinton presidency. Is it the recent bombings of Afghanistan and Sudan? No. There is no scandal and no cover-up attempt made in the bombing news. Clinton didn't bomb those nations to make us forget about his "improper relationship" with Lewinsky. He knew the bombings wouldn't serve as much of a smoke screen, because the screen would be uncovered too easily. There is a much bigger scandal concerning Presi­ dent Clinton than who he had sex with in the Oral Orifice (Oval Office). The scandal will soon be called "China Gate." There is an investigation currendy running to find out whether Clinton sold the security of the nation to the Chinese. He may have had to, in order to secure himself with the presidency. The first fact of the scandal is that the Clinton/Gore campaign re­ ceived money from the sister of the head of the Chi­ nese Army through John Huang in 1992. Of course, the money had to be paid back when this was dis­ covered. Let's just call the money a loan, not a con­ tribution. Earlier this summer, just before Chairman Bill (our president) took a trip to China, facts were un­ covered to show that a rocket company named Loral intstructed the Chinese how to perfect their missile warheads. Of course, in order for Loral to sell to the Chi­ nese the needed information to improve their mis­ siles, the president had to sign a clearance. Loral made millions of dollars from the Chinese for their assistance in improving Chinese warheads. Does the story sound sticky? It gets worse. Bernie Schwarts, the head of Loral, was the top contributor to the Clinton/Gore Campaign in 1992 and 1996. By signing one sheet of paper, Clinton was able to make two contributors to his campaign very, very happy. Schwarts made a nice return on his invest­ ment, and the Chinese gained valuable information for their loan to the president's campaign. Those are the facts. That is what we know until the investigation is completed. Why did there need to be an investigation? Maybe the congressmen (or women), Democrats and Republicans alike, were simply too shocked to believe what happened. That's the only idea I can come up with. Of course, there are people who will say that Clinton simply did the same things the Republicans did. But they can't deny the fact that before the Clinton presidency, China was not a nuclear threat, and now they are. Clinton's kindness to the Chinese has also sped up the proliferation of nuclear weapons worldwide. It was shocking to see that India, whose main export seems to be exceedingly smart people, is now testing their nuclear weapons. Why did India feel the need to produce weapons of mass destruction? The answer is simple-. Paki­ stan. Pakistan is China's ally. India and Pakistan have been enemies for years. Now that China has been blessed with the gift of nuclear weapons by Clinton, it is my educated guess that Pakistan will have them too. It's a reasonable assumption that India is going to want to protect themselves from Pakistan. Clinton's answer to India's newfound weapons was to punish them with trade sanctions and to block their loans from the world bank. Clinton (in a round­ about way) armed India's enemy and is now punish­ ing India for trying to protect themselves. In the grand scheme of things, Clinton's sexual escapades mean very little when compared to the scandal we never heard about. As a country, people are more interested in hearing about a sex scandal than a scandal that has real merit and would actu­ ally be grounds for impeachment. Don't waste my time telling me about semenstained dresses or who else the president has had sex with. It's just not that important. If our congressmen feel that having sex with an intern and lying about it is grounds for impeachment, more so than selling out national security to the Chi­ nese, there are major problems with this country. Learning the rules of the road in Boone Some simple sign language is all it takes to communicate with other cars With all of these orange barrels, hard hat areas, and three-mile traffic jams, 1 have learned to drive like a stuntman in "Smokey and the Bandit'. Now that "The Man" has moved Riv­ ers Street 50 feet and given us a happy little park, the intersec­ tion of Rivers and Hardin streets has become a wee bit crowded. We've got our own version of Matt Bielejeski Freddy Krueger's movie: "A Nightmare on Rivers Street." Staff Writer Along with all this traffic comes a heaping helping of driving insanity. More than once, I've found myself sitting at a dead stop in the middle of an intersection, because I thought I could make it through the yellow light. Well, I made it through the yellow light. The problem was there were too many fools ahead of me to pull through the intersection. Thus, I became a target for some idiot with a monster truck and a thirst for human carnage. Frightening. When you're talking about traffic difficulties, two lanes mysteriously changing into one is a common occurrence. Somehow I always end up in the lane that pulls a David Copperfield, leaving me to the mercy of the cars in the "correct and only existing" lane. I'm forced to look at these masters of my fate with pleading, Bambi-like eyes and beg them to let me in. Eventually (usually three days later), some kind soul finds it in his or her heart to let me merge into the "Cool Lane" (of course, the only reason it's so cool is because it's the only lane that exists anymore). Once I've moved my car, I make sure to give "The Wave." You know what I'm talking about; the only driving hand signal that people won't shoot you for giving. "The Wave" is an essential part of everyday driv­ ing, if you drive in any kind of traffic. If you're lucky enough to never drive in traffic, put this paper down right now. For those of you still with me, welcome back. Like I was saying, "The Wave" is great. It lets those kind souls who took time out of their busy lives to help you know that you really, truly appreciate it. And yes, there are different varieties of'The Wave," hence, here is Matt's Handy-Dandy Little Guide To Driving Niceties: "The Wave" - the classic gesture, and my personal favorite. Can be signaled by waving the hand out of the car window (in nice weather), or in the interior of the car. Always make sure the person sees you. Sometimes, the nice driver may acknowledge your "Wave" with a "Wave" of his or her own. The "I'm-Gonna-Kill-You-When-I-Have-The-Chance" Fist Clencher - a rather complex gesture, and is not recommended for beginners. Start by pointing at yourself, then clench and shake your fist at them, and end by pointing at the offending driver. In some cities, this may get you followed, shot at, or even killed. Mr. Bielejeski assumes no responsibility for the consequences of any of his gestures. "The Fineer" - a classic. Everyone knows how, ev­ eryone does it. What more could you ask for? An all-purpose "I-Hate-You-And-Wish-You-Would-Die" gesture. This one makes me proud to be an Ameri­ can. "The Limp Hand"- useful when you're pissed at someone who looks like they will kick your ass, but you feel the need to stand up for yourself. "The Limp Hand" is applied by extending your arm and making your hand into a semi-flaccid mass of flesh. Not solid, as in "The Finger" gesture, yet not completely lifeless either; somewhere in the middle. Give physical inflection similar to that of "The Finger. "The Limp Hand" is safer than "The Finger," be­ cause if the offending driver comes next to you seek­ ing personal injury, you can effectively claim you were waving at him because you thought he was someone you knew. The reason this explanation works is, you guessed it, the limpness of the hand. When I'm driving and I let someone in, if I don't get "The Wave," it makes me a little peeved. I know that if I get let in, I'm gonna make sure the person knows that they did a truly great thing. All I expect is the same in return; that whole Golden Rule thing. The problem is, these days, I'm getting "The Wave" less and less. Seems like the new, im­ proved version of the Golden Rule is this: "Don't do a damn things for others unless it helps you in some way, shape, or form." Doesn't exactly sound Biblical, now does it? Don't look at me like that. I'm not saying we should all join hands, sing "Kumbaya," and pray for world peace. But when it comes to something that we all have to deal with, it seems that we could be doing a little better job of helping our fellow college students. I mean, really, is that extra five seconds you gained bv not letting someone in the lane really going to mmm that big of a difference? I didn't think so. �Sept, * * Page 4 etN;i On Sept. 3rd, I will hypnotize you, and you will go see Far Too Oones HYPNOTISI Dr. Mm Wind 8pm at Farthing far FREEH FREEH jones after the hypnotist...

Spielberg has created a different type of character in this movie than what today's movie-go­ ing audience is used to. You don't really become that emotionally at­ tached to the characters. They are stereotypes. The tough Italian; the slow talking, Bible-quoting South­ erner; the smart-ass New Yorker; the Midwesterner; the Jew. These are all stereotypes, but they have a purpose. A Nazi's bullet doesn't care if you are a Northerner or a Southerner, a Christian or a Jew, a hero or a coward. It will kill just the same. These broad-based char­ acters show that even though people are so different, they will come to the same end. Critics have complained that "Saving Private Ryan" is too bloody or too gory.

Overall, the defense looks strong this year, with a wealth of linebackers and linemen returning from last year. However, the weakness of the Mountaineer de­ fense could be in the secondary, which has two freshmen on the depth charts. The Apps could surprise a lot of people this year. None of the preseason polls have Appalachian ranked this year. Five of ASU's opponents are ranked in at least somebody's top 25. For the past couple of years, everyone has expected Appala­ chian to be the dominant team at the beginning of the season. That could be the difference that pays off for App this year.

Holmes Convoca­ tion Center are finally up. Vice Chancellor for Business Af­ fairs Jane Helm said she was pleased with the progress made in construc­ tion of the Holmes center. "It has been a good summer for construction," said Helm. According to Helm, the convocation center will have a very positive im­ pact on the university and surround­ ing communities. "It's going to be a facility that will allow us to do a lot of things we really havn't been able to do in the past," said Helm. The convocation center will be a venue for concerts, convocations, atheletic events and possibly com­ mencements, said Helm. According to Men's Basketball Coach Buzz Peterson, the Holmes center will have a positive effect on recruiting, attracting more talent to Appalachian's basketball program. Many Southern Conference atheletes compare Varsity Gym to a high school gym, said Peterson. With the addition of the Holmes center, expect more ACC and SEC teams to play at Appalachian. The seating capacity of the con­ vocation center will vary from 8,000 L to 9,000 people, depending on the hundred and eighty stilts were embedded into the underlying bedrock which makes its foundation similar to event, said Helm. -shore oil platform, (photo by Amber Home) The Holmes Center will not Residence hall students vote for open visitation again «rood prices ncrease on iampus ;ra Leslie Hitchcock News Editor . ;vin Burnette iff Writer A noticeable increase in the ees of food at Appalachian State js caught the attention of stu­ nts this semester. I Director of Food Services In Dubberly said that inflation is : prime reason for the increase jfood prices. Most of the blame for the rrent price jump comes from an (lease in economic inflation that ilJ Food Services has tried to ird off over the past four years. "Now Appalachian has to ise the prices of food due to that urease," Dubberly said. He went on to explain that >U also raised prices to help pay r upcoming renovations to 2lborn Cafetieria, estimated at i million. Those changes will not take ace until the summer of the year 100. Another reason for the inaase in food prices is because e state does not fund ASU food rvices. According to Dubberly, sur- veys were conducted recendy that showed the prices were almost ten p e r c e n t lower than l o c only be used for concerts and atheletics, but will also house a ma­ jor academic department. The Department of Health, Leisure, and Exercise Science will have offices around the'arena in the Holmes center, said Helm. Although the center's building site is a flood plane, flooding shouldn't be a problem. According to the contract ad­ ministrator of the constuction project, Bill Dargin, the foundations and structures are much heavier and stronger than they normally would be. Three hundred and eighty stilts were drilled into the ground and planted in bedrock, said Dargin. The foundation is like an off-shore oil platform, said Dargin. "The ground could wash away underneath it, and it would still stand," said Dargin. According to Dargin, the building will cover approximately 100,000 square feet, which won't leave much room for parking spaces. There will be only 70 parking spaces at the site. "Most of the parking for events is to be off-site," said Dargin. There are three major contrac­ tors and 8 to 10 subcontractors working on the project, said Dargin. The project's cost is being paid for by the state. A basic structure is expected to be built by February 1999, and the target date for completion of the Holmes Center is Aug. 23, 2000. a l restaraunt piu-CS. "Reas­ suringly, " Dubberly commented, " c a m p u s Students cope with price increases on cam­ restaraunts pus. (photo by Beck Long) cost are very effective for ASU students." Comparisons showed that a meal at the Mountain House was an estimated $5.25, while at ASU the same meal came to about $3.43. The prices of food on cam­ pus are proven to be lower, but are still not expected to increase. Chic-Fil-A would remain the same because it is supplied by a private company. Only a dozen of the Market's items would be marked up. The Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cos. both said 'no' to any increases in their vending machines, yet vending machines owned by the university will have their prices raised. Junior Chip Wilson saw the increases early in the semester. "I noticed it right away," Wil­ son said. "When 1 had been pay­ ing $4 and some change for a meal over the summer and...I got back for fall, the same thing was over five bucks," Residence hall students have shown yet again that open visita­ tion is the most popular policy, and officials are listening. Following Appalachian State voting tradition, residence hall stu­ dents approved Option III: 24-hour visitation. The decision was made ef­ fective Wednesday, Aug. 26. The unanimous decision prompted speculation on the issue by the Campus Resident Student Association (CRSA), said CRSA President Karl Gaukstern. "A decision, perhaps, will come about that says we will go with decision III or Option II per­ manently," Gaukstern said. Gaukstern said that CRSA and ASU will take student major­ ity opinion into account as well as safety measures to make this deci­ sion, and as of yet he is unsure of when it will occur. "CRSA might look to make an issue seeing that the two years (of voting) have been pretty solid," said Assistant Director of Resident Life Scott Ranger. The voting opportunity brought 92.05 percent of the resi­ dent population to the polls, Ranger said. Option III received 90.27 percent of the vote. Option II garnered 1.47 per­ cent, while Option I was chosen by 0.31 percent of the population. "The turnout was a little down this year from 94 percent voting last year," Ranger said. Overall, he is still pleased with the number though. Appalachian Heights, East, Coffey, Doughton, Newland and Winkler residence halls did not have to vote because their popu­ lation is primarily upperclassmen, Ranger said.

"This year's numbers are about the same as those in past years." "We opened with over 4,900 students living on campus," Walsh said. That number exceeds capac­ ity by more than 200. Several freshmen were forced to live in seminar rooms and put with two other students in rooms built only for two. The situation was quickly handled, however, by the Depart­ ment of Housing. The triplebooked rooms were all taken care of within the first week of classes. Forty upperclassmen and freshmen either withdrew from the university or never even showed up, which left vacancies that were filled by the overbooked students. "This is done on purpose," Walsh said, "to ensure 100 percent capacity." When asked why the prob­ lem was perceived to be worse this year, Walsh said that upperclass­ men that wanted to live off cam­ pus last year were denied the op­ portunity to live on campus this year. Many upperclassmen were not allowed to stay on campus this year due to the arrival of the larg­ est freshmen class ever to enroll at the university. Around 300 transfers were also denied housing on campus. But, according to Walsh, that num­ ber is typical. "The cap for on-campus housing of upperclassmen is 2,680. Currently 2,744 live in resi­ dence halls. Walsh said that the future of Appalachian looks promising and that more students are making see Housing on page 2 �Page 2 M Housing from page 1 ASU their first choice. -This co,tld mean that the palachian will have to admit more students and look for other ways dents get Pj'P'TYL* ,j j Students whe, Mtow th» simple problem of housing will only get to accommodate them, sugget; ion ^ ^ worse, she said.

The dangers of dating a Redneck Everyone has heard of Jeff Foxworthy and his jokes about rednecks. To be honest, I never liked his material. It wasn't funny to me, and my opinion of Foxworthy was that he was a complete idiot. I thought Deanna Tanner that he was just making it all Staff Writer up. This summer, I had an ex­ perience that changed my mind on the subject forever. In a small town in the piedmont of North Caro­ lina, I learned about the dangers of dating a redneck. Rednecks run rampant in this part of the state, and I think that my town must be their headquarters. In this atmosphere, I met the worst kind of redneck: one that I call a "redneck in disguise." This guy was actually very attractive. He didn't wear cowboy boots or Wrangler jeans oi big belt buckles. He didn't drive a truck or chew tobacco. He did drink a lot of beer, but that wasn't enough for me to classify him as a redneck. I had no idea what he would really be like. Our first date was okay. It surprised me that he was listening to a country music station in the car, but I didn't think too much about it. The second date was the one that began to make me suspicious. While we were enjoying our meal at a local restaurant, the conversation came around to the topic of school. I tola mm that 1 planned to pursue a doctorate de­ gree. I expected him to ask me what field I was inter­ ested in, and instead, he pretended to page me over a hospital intercom and said that he had always thought it would be cool to work in an emergency room. I dismissed this with a smile and asked him about his school, UNC-Greensboro. As it turned out, he was lying to me, and had dropped out of school in the tenth grade. Then the waitress came with our food, and he began to eat his fried okra with his fingers. That should have been our last date, but fate is not that kind to me. At this point, I was thinking he was stupid, but not necessarily a redneck. He had invited me to a party at his place, so I thought that I might give it another try. I arrived at his house, if you can call it that. It was the dumpiest little trailer that 1 had ever seen in my life. On the front lawn was a brand new, red Chevy pickup truck and a rusty lawnmower. So i guess it's true that rednecks really do buy cars that are more expensive than their homes. When I ventured inside, I saw the largest man that I had ever seen in my life sitting on the couch watching a Nascar race. I soon learned that a redneck can find a race on TV any time of the day, any day of see Redneck page 5 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vultures circle Boone To the Editor: I wish to voice my opinion in editorial form concerning the subject below: In like to their raptorial counterparts on the frail, dying gazelle, day and night the red metal predators, claw in tow, stalk the area in and around the campus of App State University, waiting to swoop down on the vehicles of unsuspecting citi­ zens of, and visitors to, Boone who should, God forbid, park "21" minutes in a "20" minute zone...or park in a state handicapped parking space while legally displaying their state handicapped placard. I have never lived anywhere (including Chi­ cago) where the "powers that be" are money hun­ gry at the expense of Joe Citizen. The available parking and the quick writing ticket-givers and their quick towing friends are a sight to see. Now on top of this comes the final straw; the most ridiculous ASU policy concerning parking and the ever moneyloving Board of Trustees who voted this policy into effect. New policy: sorry all you disabled veterans who gave up a normal life for your country; sorry all you other disabled persons. The great minds on the Board of Trustees have decided that we no longer honor state disabled parking placards. If you park in a state handicapped parking space, even while displaying your handicapped placard, you will receive a $130 ticket and on the second offense be towed. Or, you can pay us $30 per semester and we will honor your state handicapped parking plac­ ard. Even though this new policy is contrary to ev­ erything I have researched concerning state motor vehicle laws, the ASU Board of Trustees has decided to approve this ridiculous and likely illegal policy. Even if through some unlikely chance that the Board of Trustees has been able to supersede state law, common sense should tell them that we, the handicapped of this state, have already paid the price. United States Veterans and the disabled commu­ nity in general can have a legal state handicapped placard, park in a state handicapped parking space and still receive a $130 parking ticket via the newly passed policy by the Board of Trustees of ASU. This is ludicrous. I judge it as another attempt to extort money from us students who are seemingly at their mercy anytime they get a whim. This action is a direct contradiction and mockery of NCGS Chap­ ter 20 Steve Lockyer-Disabled ASU student ASU Box 18238 Traffic Again To the Editor: A war has been declared in the streets of Boone, and i've had enough. In case you haven't noticed, TRAFFIC SUCKS. I've been here four and a half years, and it has never been this bad. So who is paying the price? Those of us who do our best to change the problem: bikers! For some reason, the cops of Boone have decided to crack down on all of us who ride a bike. Their justification: a recent North Carolina law that says that bikes are consid­ ered cars in situations when they can travel the speed of a car. If you ride a trick bike, this only, occurs if there is traffic. I was pulled over the other day on my bike for what 1 thought was not wearing a helmet (which I think should be a choice, not a law, though some­ what justified). However, had the cop not been a pretty nice guy, I would have gotten 3 tickets, to­ taling around $250, all because of this law: 1) No helmet- $50, 2) Riding on the sidewalk- (my fault, I didn't want to fight with a two-ton car and lose see Traffic on page 5 �to school w* i.% IQ C - Every day low pnces POND'S CLEAR |t>K( STRIPS » tacfcfoMfe j||* fawa,, Rej^isf •M ©1998 Ejina H Haruuiiul 'Jura UJ;\ �August 27,1998 Page 5 parking: we're still getting screwed There is a serious problem hands and saying "we're not pn this campus. responsible", but also by It is a situation that gets not even apologizing to me nore out of control every year or calling me that day to tell ind if a rea^ solution is not me it had happened. pund soon, somebody is going Did I write an editorial o go postal. then?

The Uni- made worse by these Traffic Con­ ersity showed complete apathy to trol people that walk around just ie by not only holding up their sniffing out the money. Of course it is absolutely rea­ sonable for the school to give park­ ing tickets and even to raise the prices of the tickets dramatically to help enforce the parking regu­ lations. I understand this. But is it really necessary to give out tickets on a Sunday after­ noon to an unregistered car parked in a lot where almost every single spot is empty? Or do the traffic nazis really need to be out at 4:45 on a Friday afternoon ticketing people who have brought their cars on campus a little early? These are just a few of the obvious ways that these people display nothing but coldheartedness and apathy towards the students at this school. We al­ ready pay thousands of dollars a year to go here and these sharks are running around trying their hardest to steal a little bit more. Although to be fair, despite the fact that the Traffic Control offic­ ers are the ones who have to hear most of our anger, they are really not the ones who can fix the prob­ lem. Only the administration or the state legislature has the power to buy land and build parking lots or garages. So while some people reading this article, especially those who work in the administration or in the traffic office, may think I'm just another whiny student who's pissed off because I got a ticket, the fact is, I think my feelings are pretty representative of a major­ ity of students and faculty on this campus right now. If running an editorial for the second week in a row about this issue is what it takes to make somebody who can do something about it wake up and smell the coffee, then heck, I'll do it. I'll let a different person write an edito­ rial about it every week whether it's one of our staff members or just someone who wants to write as a guest columnist. I'll also run ev­ ery single Letter to the Editor we receive about this problem whether it's five or 50. The fact is, we've all tried too politely to ask the University to deal with this problem with some urgency. They haven't. Now the time has come to grab them by the earlobes and scream.

Bootinkin'-hoo. Like we don't have o watch our butts everyday iding around in Boone with a unch of disgruntled drivers anered at being stuck in traffic. I mow at least three people that lave been hit by cars, one by our iends that tow cars. None of them felt like they were in a car. This leaves us with a few great options. We can sit in traffic with the rest of the cars and suck down their exhaust, eliminating the best reason to ride a bike. We could try to pass on the left (i.e. the middle of the road, the safest place for a bike to be). Given time, I'm sure they could find some reason to ticket you, even for something you think is legal. Or, when it's not being used as a parking lot, ride on our ONE bike lane on River Street. All this completely defeats the purpose of riding a bike. The campus police have been decent enough to not harass us as we bike though campus (even though someone puts up all these stupid chains that force us to make new trails through the grass if we don't like to risk our lives riding down stairs or hitting pedestrians). However, the Boone cops claim that we, even those of us on little trick bikes traveling at speeds of 15 mph when we're lucky, are cars. My solution: if they say we're cars, strap on a helmet (the more stu­ pid looking, the better), put on some war paint, and go out there and be a car! This means you can ride as slow as you want in the middle of a lane, and cars just have to deal with it. Even if there is a bike lane, stay in the street, be­ cause there will probably be a car parked in it anyway. Remember, obey all traffic laws (the cops had the gall to ticket my friend John for speeding on Howard Street even though bikes don't have speedometers!).

Thirty minutes after he said he would arrive, he showed up and ex­ plained that he had gone home to change, because there was blood on his shirt. He then explained that he had been in a fight with some­ one who had given him a funny look as he was driving to my house.

TMBG was dropped by the Elektra record label two years ago, and has released their latest material with their old freind, Restless. Then: The Earlier Years, and their latest piece, Severe Tire Damage, are the two latest releases sup­ ported by Restless. Then a double CD, 72-song set in­ cludes all the songs from TMBG's first and second albums, and from their compila­ tion album Misc T. Also included are some quirky bonus tracks which were previously unheard of except to those die-hard fans with fourth generation tape recordings of phone-line quality rarities and bootlegs. It's nice little package, especially to fans who did not own TMBG's earlier work. Following Then is their new al­ bum Severe Tire Damage. STD is basi­ cally a CD full of live tracks with a few studio recordings, including a truly fan­ tastic track Doctor Worm and a short in­ strumental, which would be the perfect bits of undecipherable lyrics mixed in. opening music for a generic game show.

Kostecky, who replaces Art Rex, will enter his inaugural :ason as head coach of the Mountaineer Men's soccer proram, inheriting eight starters and 15 letter winners from a jason ago. Kostecky compiled a 46-27-5 record in four seasons at Pfeiffer pllege, capturing Carolinas Conference titles twice (1994, 997), and was named Carolinas Conference Coach-of-the-Year >r two seasons. In addition to his coaching duties, Kostecky irved as director of athletics since 1995, supervising an NCAA ivision II program with 8 women's and 7 men's intercolleiate teams. Men's soccer posted a 4-11-2 overall mark during the 1997 :ason. The squad posted its fifth consecutive .500 or better :cord in Southern Conference action, finishing 3-3-1 in the ague. Four wins on the season marked the lowest total numtr of victories posted since the 1970 season. "I have noticed a tremendous improvement in this group nee the beginning of spring practice. We have some very talited athletes, and they have impressed me in how quickly ley have adjusted to the new style of play," said Kostecky. <ostecky sees his squad being strongest at the front, followg spring workouts. The squad hopes to improve on the de­ risive end while adjusting to a new style of play. \t forward, Appalachian returns three letter winners, includg two starters from a year ago. Three-time All-Southern inference selection Naoshi Yamauchi looks to provide senior adership at the front of the offensive attack. Yamauchi tied r second place on the team in goals scored (4) and points 3) last season. He tallied a team-high five assists during 197 and stood atop the team in scoring with six goals during 'e 1996 campaign.

Just as Superman as no home, this team has no conference »play in. A traditionally Northern sport, eld hockey doesn't attract a great deal of iterest in the South. As Davidson is the aly other Southern Conference school ith a field hockey team, the conference oesn't recognize the sport. So what does a team do without a con:re,tce? ASU competes annually in the eep South Tournament and does quite ell. The tournament is invitation-only, nd this year's guests are Catawba, avidson, and Quinnipiac colleges along 'ith the Mountaineers. Coach Cathy Burleson's squad has won te tournament two years in a row and 'ill look to complete a three-peat this sea5n. Is the team comfortable with their ack-to-back titles? "I don't think so; we >st it for about eight years in a row," said urleson. "I think we have the potential ad skill to win it again, but it's not going 5 be an easy road to travel," she added, he road will be familiar, however, as ASU 'ill host the tourney this year. Davidson will attempt to grab the crown from Appalachian, despite dropping three matches against ASU last year. "Davidson is our big rival, and the other schools are getting better," said Burleson. ASU looks to improve their 11-8 record from last season this year in what looks to be a seven-game home-field play. Ohio might seem to be ASU's home away from home, as the Mountaineers will play four contests in the Buckeye State. The three toughest contests of the year will be against teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Mountaineers visit Vir­ ginia and Wake Forest, while the Blue Devils of Duke travel to Boone to cap off the regular season for ASU. Last year, those three ACC squads outscored ASU, 32-0, and outshot the Mountaineers, 1259. "Our goal against these teams is to see what we're all about. If we score, it'll be a step up and will build some confi­ dence," noted Burleson. After losing some of its experience with the departure of Annemieke Menkveld, Miki Bingham, Dana Fabretti, Jodi Chrystal and Kim Blackwell, the team welcomes the addition of six freshmen, including one from South Africa, The biggest loss, however, may be at the goalie position, where Kathryn Pearson, who led the team with 100 saves, including three shutouts, dominated. Senior co-captains Sue Fawsett and Heather Gleason will both play crucial team opens its season in Ohio with a 4.

Fawsett will be moving into a new position at central mid-fielder. Chelsea Dailey will take over as netminder after seeing limited ac­ tion last season. "She's going to have to step up," said Burleson. "I believe our mental capacity is improved, and we're cohesive on and off the field," said Burleson. The Mountaineers' keys to success will be possession, possession, pos­ session. "Our for­ s wards are speedy," said Burleson.

The return the East, Jimmy Johnson and the 3r Dolphins are always the subject of conversation. Whether they will run or pass has been the contro­ versy during the exhibition season, but when the game is on the line, expect 16-year vet Dan Marino to work his magic. The Patriots should win the division, if they can find any running game at all. Bill Parcells and his vastly im­ proved Jet team could make moves if the defense holds. The fun in this division in '98 will be to see who can sack Peyton Manning the most. Take out the Baltimore Ravens in the Central and put back the Browns, and you could have the toughest division in the AFC.

We'll close out with what could perhaps be the best class of NFC Central teams in years. The Bay of Pigs will be a marvelous battle this year between Brett Farve and Trent Dilfer, both of whom will lead their teams with MVP caliber numbers. The Bucs' Tony Dungy is the best coach, but Green Bay has all the pageantry and glitter of Lambeau Field. Barry Sanders will thrill us again as he goes for back-to-back 2,000-yard seasons. By the way, this guy gets better every year. He'll do it. Minnesota always poses a threat with Cris Carter (Mr. TD) and a strong defense. However, they'll have trouble stopping the Packers. The final question in the East is, why the hell is Dave Wannstedt still coaching the Bears? Hang on fans, and tighten your arm rest, 'cause it's going to be a long bumpy ride this season.

The win conference title Fairness, Accuracy and Public Service since 1934 Online: www.csil.appstate.edu/theapp.htm Published Tuesdays and Thursdays Alcohol-free 'First Night' replaces former 'Block Party' Leslie Hitchcock News Editor Following a year-long hiatus from the infamous Appalachian State "Block Party," the inaugural "First Night" non-alcoholic cel­ ebration took place on Monday. Modeled after a similar alco­ hol-free party at UNC- Chapel Hill last year, the idea came after an increase in national awareness of college binge drinking, said Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Dr. Gregory Blimling. Students from treshmen to seniors attended the kick-off to a new school year that was held on Sanford Mall. "The Block Party has been a success the years that we did it...we didn't know how (First Night) would work, this being the first year without alcohol, but it has certainly been a great success," said Manager of Student Programs Randy Kelly. The Block Party attracted approximately 5,000 to 7,000 stu­ dents, said Kelly. He anticipated approxi­ mately 2,000 students around the peak time of 11:30. All of the exhilaration activi­ ties were provided by Airwalk, Kelly said. "It was mostly the kind of games that you can have a lot of fun without endangering yourself or others," he said. D.J. Hollywood provided the musical entertainment, which in­ cluded bubble and smoke ma­ chines. Additionally, students were entered in several drawings in which tickets to Dave Matthews Band concerts or different airline destinations were prizes. riisi Night garnered mixed student reviews, however. Students who had not expe­ rienced the previous Block Party found First Night exciting, while Block Party veterans had different opinions. "I've been here for two Block Parties, and I thought they were great...I think that we're respon­ sible enough to handle ourselves when we're consuming alcohol," said senior Kelly Gulbranson, an Alpha Phi from Elkin, N.C. Freshman James Powell from Wilmington, N.C. enjoyed his time at First Night. "It was pretty fun; there was a lot of stuff to do out here," he said. Two students test their jousting skills in one of the First Night games. (photo by Andrew Hershner) Legends facade to be finished early September Paul Giemza Staff Writer The beauty of Hebron Falls is being taken over by trash left by hikers on an adjacent trail. Help Leslie Hitchcock News Editor Part of the attraction to Appa­ lachian State is the beckoning call of the mountains. Their beauty has inspired story and song for generations, but as some rangers on the Blue Ridge Parkway have found, some visitors will abuse campsites and camp in unauthorized areas. A trail familiar to hikers is the trail to Hebron Falls, a series of wa­ terfalls off the Parkway. But unknown to most is an unregulated trail that winds its way to the bottom of the falls. This trail has historical value, said Seasonal Park Ranger Jeff Matheson. "This is wilderness area, and this trail has been here for years," Matheson said. What concerns the rangers is the destruction of federal property and the base of the trail where ille­ gal campers have left fire rings and trash at makeshift campsites, said Matheson. "You cannot camp in the back country of Julian Price Park or Moses Cone Park," Matheson said. It is a federal offense that carries multiple citations, he said. "In a national park, you cannot back country camp without a permit and without a designated spot," he said. Matheson estimates that the The second phase of renova­ tions to Appalachian State University's own nightclub, Leg­ ends, is still underway, despite missing its initial estimated Aug.1 deadline for completion. According to Randy Kelly, manager of Legends, the construc­ tion delays were caused by a mis­ take in an architectural drawing. The new deadline is set for the second week of September. Kelly said that the "Back to School" dance and other events scheduled before the deadline will still be held at Legends. However, students will use an alternate side entrance. Kelly also emphasized that the "new" Legends will have more stage lighting, accent lights, and a smoke machine which will com­ plete an effort to update Legends to the "new look" of campus. The second phase of renova­ tions includes tearing down the damaged facade and replacing it with a modern brick facade. The new Legends will have a more formal double entrance with a much larger lobby and ex tended doors. Additionally, a new Legends sign will be placed toward the cor­ ner of the building where it can be seen easily from Hardin Street. The renovations, which cost an estimated $225,000, are being completed by Wilkie Construction Co., Inc., which has worked with ASU before on various projects. The construction costs are covered by Student Union fees. Doug Urban, a superinten­ dent with Wilkie Construction Co. Inc., said that the new Legends facade will give it "a more perma­ nent look." | Elite Ridge Parkway rangers enlist students to keep historic trail clean majority of hikers who use the trail are between the ages of 16 and 25. Fisherman and day hikers ticqueiu the trail most often, he said. "We want to get the information around that there is no camping here," he said. "We want the students help." Plans proposed by the land­ scape architect to the headquarters of the Parkway are to open up the trail, clear out downed trees and put up signs designating the trail to enforce the area. "We'd like for this area to be a pack in, pack out situation," said Per­ manent Law Enforcement Officer Don Reed. Reed said that what will slow the process of authorizing the trail will be safety concerns along the bank or the official trail. Matheson recommends that those who want to visit Hebron Falls hike a trail that begins off the Boone Fork Trail in Julian Price Park off the Parkway. "They could come down off the boulders (to see the falls)," he said. Fishing in the Boone Fork Stream is growing in popularity, and catch-and-release fly-fishing is al­ lowed. For those who enjoy back coun­ try camping, an official campsite is available at Julian Price Park, Matheson said. Permits are issued at the Price Park registration building for up to six people at a time. • 4 ^Mlll -• ' * .A'" , ... \ i On campus construction continues to rear its ugly head at Legends nightclub, (photo by Richard Thomas) Projects unite new students in service Katie Ward Managing Editor Trash litters an illegal campsite fire ring off a trail to Hebron Falls, (photos by Richard Thomas) A group of new students joined Greek organizations in an effort to serve the community and instill the value and importance of lending a hand Tuesday afternoon. In its third year, the New Stu­ dent Orientation service projects incorporated approximately 75 freshmen and Greek members to assist seven sites with beautification and goodwill. The first group worked with the Habitat for Humanity program. In an effort to find a well, previous workers on the site dug holes throughout the yard. The ASU group was responsible for re­ filling all of the holes. The second group traveled to Cove Creek High School to pick weeds and beautify the outside of the school. They also helped clean the inside of the school. Moses H. Cone Memorial Park played host to the third group. Students cleaned and laid gravel on the entire trail while clip­ ping extraneous bushes. The supervisor of the group said they were the first volunteer group to complete the entire trail. see Projects page 2 �• Page 2 August <0.1 Projects from page 1 Several students selected the Humane Society as their service retreat. Students spent the after­ noon walking dogs and keeping the animals company. The fifth group visited the Hospitality House on King Street. Washing windows and cleaning the exterior consumed most of their day. The Ram's Rack Thrift Store on King Street welcomed a group to their store.

Attention new students: Beware of rip-offs in Boone Okay folks, this article is from our "Greedy Business" file. Since this is the beginning of another glorious school year here at Appalachian State University, 1 thought I might take the time to warn all of the incoming freshmen and transfers about this subtly dangerous place called Boone. Jay Ware First, let me alienate the very Opinion Editor university that has fostered my college life and expectations for the last four years. The number one way, as a stu­ dent, that you will get ripped off, is through Food Services. I will cut to the chase on this one, because you have probably already experienced this rip-off your­ self. You will be overcharged for mediocre quality food. Yes, it is true. College students, arguably the most financially unstable class of Americans, are paying far too much for food here at ASU. This semester, my example is derived from the food court. We now have a small Chinese food establish­ ment that adds to the cafeteria decor of the food court. No, I certainly don't have a problem with va­ riety, but at what cost? Sure, you can eat a nice ChickFil-A sandwich, and the meal that goes along with it, if you don't mind spending $8-$10 and sapping the money from your meal card faster than you can say Adam Smith (look it up). What place ranks as the first of the worst? This one is a cinch: The Market. The brochure for this place should read: conveniently placed in the west­ ern part of campus so that you don't have to walk to the gas station to get gas station food prices. My recommendation would be to avoid The Market any day of the week and twice on Sunday, because you will soon have to beg your parents for more money for your meal card just for the privilege of surviving. Secondly, if you do choose to live off campus in the future, stay away from the largest rental agency in Boone. (If you do not know who I am talking about, call me and I will fill you in.) I made this mistake once, and I still kick myself for renting from the biggest, but not the best. They do not care about you, only your money. These people will stone you with the rocks of poverty and unrepaired appliances and then make you pay the hospital bill. They charge you for everything that you can think of and then throw in a few more just to break your pride. If this seems like pointless slander, then I will provide my own example. see Rip-offs on page 4 �Page 4 A l l J' " g u s t2 August' • A bad parking situation is made worse because of poor managemej Guess what?

We have a major problem on this campus. The problem is that none of the people in charge fully understand the frustrations of be­ ing a student here. The parking problem is merely a bi-product of this Maybe, just maybe, if Chan­ cellor Borkowski or assistant chan­ cellors, Jane Helm and Dr. Blimling had to drive around looking for a spot for two hours, they would start to feel the pains of being a student at ASU. I would like to see Borkowski and Blimling in Varsity Gym at 5 a.m., waiting on their spot and Students waiting to get parking passes in Varsity Gym. Rip-offs from page 3 When I rented from this property manager, my apart­ ment soon became infested by a iiterai srorm of angry hornets that had nested outside and found a way to pour in through the light fixtures above two of my roommates' beds. After multiple stings and swats from newspapers, we counted 172 (I kid you not) dead Japanese Hornets. And what did the rental agency do about it? After multiple phone calls and nights spent on the upstairs couch, they came by four days later to see what the problem was. And believe me, that is only one example of their care­ lessness. Just ask anyone who has rented from them. Thirdly, and finally, you will get ripped off by everyone's fa­ vorite towing service. (Once again, give me a call if you are yet to make their acquaintance.) Again, I speak from ex­ ample on this one. On one of the many late nights that I was retrieving my sorry vehicle from their monitored parking lot, I was told by the lady who hap­ pily counted my $50 that she did not quite understand why every­ one hated the company. "If we didn't tow you and charge you this much, someone else would. So we're just taking advantage of our position," she said. There are two lessons to be learned here. First, do not be an idiot like me and continue to get caught and towed to their unfriendly little establishment. Second, if you ever are "taking advantage" of anyone, do not directly say so to the newest Opinion Editor of the school newspaper. park.

When the belly ach­ ing got loud enough four years ago, Appalachian got together with The Citadel, Massachu­ setts, Marshall, and Army to discuss forming a new con­ . ference of their _ Justin Griffin own. SPorts Editor What are these people think­ ing? The motivation behind such a jump at this point in the growth could only be to ensure that alumni have something to talk about at the water cooler on Monday. Pernaps one of the biggest ques­ tions concerning the jump for Appala­ chian is to which conference they /vould go. The Atlantic Coast and Southeastern Conferences don't seem 0 be the answer for the Mountaineers, vith their lofty expectations of mem>er schools and the amounts of money he schools generate. Other problems that would stop ippalachian from making the jump to >ivision I-A include lacking a stadium rat seats 30,000 people (Kidd-Brewer sats 16,500 - down from 18,500 in 992.), and an average of 17,000 fans 1 a four-year period. Appalachian's verage attendance last year hovered round 8,000. No doubt the money needed to Tiake the jump would come from prostuting the team out to larger prorams. Appalachian, which usually ins about seven or eight games per car, would only manage to win three r four games per year. Another roadblock in the way of SU reaching Division I-A status is the ratus of 421 between Boone and adkinville. With things the way they re now, no one wants to make the rive up to Boone to take in a game. Other Division I-A schools with lajor football programs have someling that ASU does not have: decent Dads. Take Clemson, for example, lemson has about 17,000 students 5,000 more than Appalachian), they ave better roads leading to their uniersity and, more importantly, to their Dotball field. It seems rather idiotic to conider the jump until the roads are in •lace to support a Division I-A pro­ gram. Another argument for making he jump to Division I-A is Marshall's uccess in making the jump. Marshall made the upgrade to division I-A and went to the Motor City Jowl in Detroit in their first year as a livision I-A school. Of course the Motor City Bowl s a third-world bowl, but the success vas enough to make ASU alumni jeal>us. An often overlooked aspect of Marshall's move to the Mid- America Conference was that they fit in better vith the MAC geographically. The nove was not made just to improve the urogram to Division I-A status, but to >ut Marshall in a conference where bey were closer to the other member chools. My argument is not that Appaachian should remain Division I-AA •^definitely. Eventually, it will be suitible for ASU's football team to make be jump to Division I-A competition. The upgrade should be done vhen the school is ready to make the urnp, not when the alumni are ready. Thanks to Kevin Costner and the novie, "Field of Dreams," there is the >elief that if you build it, they will ;orne. Boone is not the next field of 'teams for football. Right now, due to nany reasons, people are not coming 0 the football games. Throwing a lot money at the problem is not going 0 fix it. ^-1 The Appalachian Page 9 Apps look strong in race for Southern Conference title Offensive, defensive lines, wide receiver corps are among Appalachians strengths Justin Griffin Sports Editor There is a four-headed monster that will win the Southern Conference football title this year, however, only one of the heads will wear the crown when the dust has cleared. Four teams; Appalachian State, Furman, East Tennessee State and Geor­ gia Southern have the best chance of walking away with the title. The top four teams in the confer­ ence are equal. The end result could be that the Southern Conference again has such evenly-matched teams that only one ends up going to the national playoffs this year. Appalachian looks as good talentwise as any of the other teams, with only two big losses in Bake Baker at quarter­ back and Jackie Avery at defensive tackle. Aside from those losses, ASU will return the league's best offensive line and re­ ceiver corps. Furman will also be part of the deadlock for the top spot with virtually Tony ffequette (#b4) and Erank Leatherwood (#39) work on blocking schemes for the their entire offense returning from last upcoming season, (photo by Richard Thomas) year.

Virginia Millitary Volleyball looks forward to challenging year TJ Thomasson Staff Writer A formidable enemy for the Appa­ lachian Volleyball squad could be the schedule they play this year. This year's schedule has tougher non-conference foes than in years past. The Mountaineers look to improve on their third-place finish in the conference, the worst in Coach Dave Markland's sixyear tenure at Appalachian State Univer­ sity. Appalachian finished last year 1914 with a loss to the eventual champ, UTChattanooga in the conference tourna­ ment. "It was nice to have a winning sea­ son," said Markland. "We beat everyone in the conference except Chattanooga, and no one beat them," he added. ASU will face all the normal con­ ference foes with one addition: the Col­ lege of Charleston. "We beat them in five sets at their tourney in '95, but they'll be in the hunt this year," said Markland. The Mountaineers will also have an extremely tough non-conference schedule as they face teams from the Big 12, Big East, ACC and SEC. "The biggest top teams we will play are Oklahoma, Carolina and Tennes­ Jennifer Rumfeldt. "Cindy was a setter see.

The Mountaineers do, however, re­ said Markland. ASU will also face former turn two seniors: Paula Levay and conference rival Marshall this year. ASU gave Marshall a swift kick in their Herd Stephanie Young. "Paula is one of the best by sending them out of the conference players in the conference," said Markland. Levay has been selected to the first team tournament in 1996. This year's squad will be very all-conference the past two seasons.

ASU will return five starters from last year's team. "Our goal is always to shoot for the conference championship. It's going to be hard to finish in the top half (of the conference)," Markland said. Two key players will not be return­ ing this season: Cindy Kolomechuk and the crown. ' Appalachian State will have the dis­ tinct advantage of hosting this year's con­ ference tournament in late November. "For the players, it's an advantage, but J'm not sure it is for the coach," said Marklafrd. "Our players enjoy playing here (at Var­ sity Gym) and we have the best volleyball following in the conference," he added. ASU has a tough season in stdre, not only because of the level of competi­ tion, but because of the amount of traj/el slated for the team. * In the month of October, the A$ps will play one match at home and will play eight matches on the road October's schedule seems to epito­ mize the 1998 season for ASU.

Plemmons Leadership Medallion Sept. 15, in recognition of their leadership ex­ periences outside of the classroom. The award is the W.H. Plemmons Leadership Medallion, and the three people who will re­ ceive the medallion are Student Government Association President Fernando Little, Director of Stu­ dent Judicial Affairs Lee McCaskey, and Professor of Leadership and Educational Studies Dr. James Jackson. The award was established in 1996 to recognize the energy, time, skills, and commitment of students, faculty, and staff here at Appalachian. Recipients must exceed their peers in leadership skills and must enrich the quality of student life and education for ASU students. Little is currently a member of the Plemmons Fellow Program, a member of Kappa Alpha Psi, an Appalachian Ambassador, and an officer for the Appalachian Popu­ lar Programming Society. He is also a pianist for the university's Gos­ pel Choir. "I was surprised [when awarded the medallion], because two other Plemmons Fellows were nominated, and they are outstand­ ing leaders," Little said. "I am honored [to receive the medallion], because the other nominees were just as qualified," he said. Little said the greatest achievement as a leader was be­ ing elected Student Body Presi­ dent. Out of all the positions that he's held on campus, SGA is the most gratifying, Little said. Little also said that the Plemmons Medallion "represents my strong desire to serve other people. I have a genuine interest and concern for helping others," Little said. "Receiving this shows that the work I do on behalf of other people hasn't been in vain," he said. Little will graduate in De­ cember of 1998 with a bachelor's degree in business administration. The Plemmons Medallion is one of the many awards that Jack­ son has received. Jackson was awarded Teacher of the Year in 1987 and 1993 by SGA, and again in 1992 by the Alumni Association. He also received the Reich College of Education Outstanding Service Award in 1995 and Reich College Outstanding Teaching Award in 1997. According to Jackson, when he was told he would be awarded the Medallion, he was "humbled, surprised, and grateful." "I wanted to thank those people who had journeyed along with me," Jackson said."My role as a teacher is to inspire the desire to inquire. I have developed a belief that, as an administrator, I have one task, and that is to serve oth­ ers," Jackson said. Jackson also said, "Any con­ tributionI have made [to ASU] is in the attitude of support of ser­ vice." Jackson came to Appala­ chian in 1969 and was an assistant to then Chancellor Herbert Wey. He has also served as dean of summer sessions and the dean of the college of continuing edu­ cation. McCaskey is currently cel­ ebrating his 30th anniversary with Appalachian. According to an Appala­ chian press release, Director of the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership Dino DiBernardi said of McCaskey, "It is truly fit­ Tweetsie Railroad is now accepting applications for all positions for the 1998 season.

"Lee dedicated his whole professional life to his students and their personal and professional development," said DiBernardi. "He is, in my mind, most responsible for the design, devel­ opment, and the resource accumu­ lation of what is now student de­ velopment at Appalachian," he said. McCaskey came to ASU in 1968 and served as director of stu­ dent activities. From 1970-1975, he served as the director of student develop­ ment, and then became the direc­ tor of complementary education. In that position, he helped develop the Student Judiciary Committee and SGA. McCaskey was unavailable for comment at press time. The Plemmons Leadership Medallion will be awarded during Convocation in the fall. The medallion depicts former ASU President Dr. William H. Plemmons, and the winners are authorized to wear the medallion at university ceremonies. The Plemmons Medallion is named in honor of Plemmons, who served as the second presi­ dent of ASU from 1955 to 1969. SPEND YOUR SUMMER IN BEAU­ TIFUL MAINE!!!

My staff has shown me so many things about life and whoI am. This is all because Ichose to get involved.Iwish everyone could have had the experience that I have had at The Appala­ chian. Beth, Mike, Leslie, Justin, Jeremy, Julia, Marvin, John, Bethany, Brandon and David are the ones who should be thanked for the tremendous improvement of The Appalachian. They should be thanked for pushing the envelope and sacrificing their social lives.Ihave taken something from each of you. All college experiences should be as reward­ ing as mine has been. This column is not about cheesy thank yous, but it is about realization of what has beenlearned over four intense years. I have learned many things in college. One thing that I have learned is that friends and hard work are the keys to anything in life. Your friends will be there through it all. Your real friends will be there to see your kids grow. Hard work and dedi­ cation will get you to where you want to go, but don't work too hard. Finding time for enjoyment and managing a healthy lifestyle helps to balance out all of the other things. Lite is too short to work all the time. Share your experiences with others. Thanks to all those who believed in me. My family, my friends, the administration, the friends that Ilost and the future that lies ahead. I will miss college and what I have done. I will miss rainy Boone.I will miss late nights.I will miss my friends. My second year here at Appalachian is finally drawing to a close. In between writing all of the pa­ pers and studying for all of the exams, I somehow managed to sit down and write this column. I have learned quite a bit after living here for four semesters. This knowledge has been passed down to me in a variety of ways, mostly by trial and a lot of error. The following list is just a sampling of my newfound information. Ihave learned that: • To take a shower without receiving thirddegree burns, one must learn to effectively dodge the burning fire/lava water that emits from the chesthigh shower nozzles. • I must always, always have my keys when the window is open, the door is set to lock and na­ ture calls. • Inspiration usually strikes in the shower or bathroom, (whenlost or confused, seek out the john). • Crossing Rivers Street is like being the star­ ring character in Frogger. • Walking by (and through) piled-up black, brown and gray snow gets old really quickly. • Sledding behind Broyhill is a death wish (sewer grates, iron poles and brick walls do not make good crash pads). • Trivette food choices are wonderful after a weekend of delectable cuisine from the Schwag Court. • Rankin was built by a blind architect. • ASU Traffic Control claims to "strictly en­ force parking" equally. But I get ticketed on Locust Street on a Sunday, only to return the following Sun­ day to count 15 cars without tickets. • East Hall is not the freak-o drug dorm some people think it is. It's just more "open-minded." • The dryers in the dorms aren't worth the $3.75 I spend on them. • I can prepare Ramen noodles 101 different ways (Ramen gumbo, Ramen kabobs, Ramen a la king, Ramen sandwiches, etc.). • Some people just can't make popcorn with­ out setting off the fire alarm. • Scheduling an 8 a.m. class in Walker and a 9 a.m. class in Sanford results in a total body workout. • We need a convocation center more than we need a new, up-to-date library. • Professors don't care about exams, papers or presentations for "your other classes" when as­ signing work for their classes. • Typing up a paper in the computer lab at midnight ain't gonna happen. • E-mail is a wonderful thing. • I will still eat meat, regardless of the many people who tell me I'm going to Heart Attack Hell if I continue to do so. • Weekend parking on this campus can be very creative. (Cars parked on dumpsters? Why not?) • It rains every stinkin' day. • Left turns in Boone only happen when: a) a lunar eclipse occurs b) it's between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. c) ASU makes a policy that all students like d) God wills it e) the major constellations line up and do a circus act And finally: ' • People will always find something to bitch about. I count myself as quite a privileged individual to have discovered these secrets so early in my col­ lege career. Now ifI can just figure out how to make fake parking stickers for Legends...

More on that later. Graves has a passion for film music. 'What ASU helped me with wasn't so ill in the realm of composition, but in The reason? One word. Emotion. "I like how it can manipulate all of your atonic music," says Graves. "I took the Foster Jason Graves in his studio in Raleigh. From this studio, Graves is able to digitally produce and record music for movies (photo provided by Jason Graves). emotions and act as part of the film, but still be good music without the picture," he says. "I also like the idea of a 'captive audience,' even if they don't realize how they're being manipulated. It's great to write music that you know is going to be heard, one way or another." When it comes to composing his own music, Graves says he really has no pref­ erence to a particular sound or style. "It's a lot of fun doing any kind of mu­ sic," he says. "So many people draw a thick, black line between tonal and atonal music. It's either, 'That's pretty" or 'I don't like that.' I'd like to be able to experiment with sounds and colors and not have the pro­ ducer breathing down my neck wanting to hear my latest theme." When discussing his influences as a composer, Graves lists several composers. But, in particular, he will mention GoldenAge composer Bernard Herrmann (Psycho, North By Northwest). "I love the simplicity/repetition and outright passion of his music," he says. "It really floors me to listen to some of his stuff. He contributed so much to modern film scoring." Among modern composers, Graves lists as influences: living legends John Williams and Jerry Goldsmith, as well as younger composers such as Thomas Newman (The Shawshank Redemption), Elliot Goldenthal (Interview With the Vampire) and Danny Elfman (Good Will Hunting). Now, back to Graves' film scoring op­ portunities in North Carolina. He recendy completed scoring an in­ dependent short film called The Flying Messenger. He was offered this film after meeting the producer's roommate at a North Carolina Museum of Art function. "They already had someone doing the end tide as a theme song situation, but needed underscore. That's where I came in," he says. "It's a lot of jazz trio stuff with a ccuple of Greek pieces thrown in for good mea­ sure. It's all MIDI, but I tried to make it sound as acoustic as possible." While North Carolina is not yet com­ monly associated with filmmaking, it's role in the industry does seem to be growing. Graves sees this as a good thing. "I see Wilmington and the Triangle as 'up and coming' in film post production and really hope to be a part of that," he says. Naturally, Graves would like to see more film offers come his way in the com­ ing years. But in addition to this, he hopes to be as diversified as possible with his music. According to him, the best place for that could be right where he is. "I would hate to get typecast with a certain style of music as so many other composers have in the past. Diversity keeps the mind fresh and open to new pos­ sibilities," he says. "Independent film is about as diversi­ fied as you can get, and I'm really excited about being a part of the growing indus­ try in North Carolina."

This semester k Charlene Hunter was present, as '|r« ican American ever admitted into the University of Georgia. Ross understood Charlene Hunter's hardships, because only a month earlier, university officials had attempted to pres­ sure Charlotte Ross into withdrawing from the school by threatening her husband's position at the university. They felt it was inappropriate for Ross to be taking classes while she was pregnant. Hunter and Ross became great friends, and Hunter was even present after the birth of Charlotte Ross' baby. But this was not Ross' first brush with a civil right's activist. Earlier in her life, Ross had helped to integrate her Methodist youth group, and while working at a summer camp for black children, she actually worked with Mar­ tin Luther King, Jr. All of these experiences may have led Charlotte Ross to realize her overwhelm­ ing pride in her mountain heritage. She began studying folklore, and completed the course work for her Ph.D. in folklore at the University of Pennsylvania. Love of Ross' mountain heritage came from years of memories created while liv­ ing with four generations of her family in the Northern Georgia mountains during World War II. Though this arrangement only lasted until she was six years old, it was long enough for her blind great-grandfather to teach her volumes. Ross says, "He would take me out on the porch of the farmhouse, then raise his cane and point. He knew what was out there. He would make me name the moun­ tains and tell the Indian legends about that mountain, name the rivers that flowed down the mountain, what creeks flowed into that mountain, what people lived on those mountains. There were 14 moun­ tains. It would take an hour sometimes to go around the porches that wrapped around three sides of the house." Today, Ross has collected over 3,500 stories and legends, and she tours the Eastern United States relating her tales to audiences of all different sizes. She has also organized several groups to help preserve the culture of the Appa­ lachian people, including The Council on Appalachian Women. She served as the chairperson of the Appalachian Studies Conference and built the Appalachian Regional Collection. Ross has two children, Tyler and Clarinda. Clarinda said of her mother, "She was always the cool mom growing up. Even though she was really hard on us in our academics, she made it okay for us to talk about anything to her. Even though she was very educated...she could also be very down home." Charlotte Ross currently teaches at Ap­ palachian State University. She uses her two English degrees to help students in her Public Speaking classes. She also teaches short courses at elder hostels. She has taught folklore, Appalachian Studies, and in the past, has taught history and English classes. Ross has earned the title of "The Leg­ end Lady" for her ability to remember and retell the stories she has collected. She performs as a storyteller in many festivals and on special occasions. Judith Geary, friend and coworker of Ross' said, "She just has this Celtic, ironic sense of humor that allows her to look at something that goes wrong, and just keep on going."

It may not be what you expect. One thing very different about this album is the absence of RZA. To this point, RZA has produced all of the Wu albums, but True Master, and 4th Disciple did the beats for this one. Spirituality is a heavy theme on "Heavy Mental." There are lots of Biblical references, questions about the human soul, and of what will happen to the world in the near future. It's not a totally seri­ ous album, though. 01' Dirty Bastard makes his presence known on track 11. Although the tone of this album is heavy and deep, there is a definite message of hope and positivity in Priest's words. Watch out though, his sword is sharp. Cappadonna- Cappadonna's album, "The Pillage," is pretty much what has come to be ex­ pected from the Wu-Tang Clan: good beats, good lyrics, guest appearances from other Wu-guy's, and samples from old Kung-Fu movies. All these elements make "The Pillage" a good CD just to sit back and chill to. The cover and linernotes of this CD are really cool. Cappadonna seems to have a serious baseball-bat fetish. Also, in one shot, he is wearing a Crocodile Dundee hat. Enough said. There are lots of guest appearances on "The Pil­ lage." U-God, MethodMan, Ghostface and Raekwon all add to the tone and texture of this album. Even if you don't care what Cappadonna has to say, you will probably still like "The Pillage" just for the way it sounds. The songs flow together well, and they don't all sound the same. ��, I Jachian5Mayl998 cni -* ' innala Appalachian's % 1 1 • Page 7 • f*S - » \ 'V «. * *t» What Was and What is to Come El Nino and construction workers seemed to sum up the 1997-98 school year here at AppalaState University. Students saw a revamped Homecoming and an absence of the block ASU will be a construction site for the next few years and will cause the mountain town of Boone big headaches. But will it be ready for the centennial celebration? The university celebrated the naming of the convocation center and mourned the loss of Sadie Broyhill, Terry Sanford and several special ASU students. On the bright side, 90.5 The App was honored as Ml college radio station in the land. Gray clouds blanketed the campus dumping not only but snow, and actually canceled classes for the first time in two years. Diversity was apparent in the variety of speakers from Helen Thomas to Tim Wise. We will await the evaluof the chancellor for next year and maybe even the opening of the new math and science Wing. Expansion and diversity will become major issues in the coming years and will define the unique mountain campus. ASU students will find ways to overcome all these obstacles. Seniors this year will go off into jobs they have been prepared for and others will Hi the roles for the following year. The face of ASU is still in the design stage but the heart of the university will remain with the students.

President Fernando Little reflected on the past year in his State of the Uni­ versity Address. Little believes that this has been a "year of progress for the student voice." Little was proud to inform the stu­ dent senate that 100 percent of the plat­ form goals set by himself and Vice President Jake Parker were successfully accomplished. These goals included residence hall suggestion boxes, mandatory RSA and town hall meetings for the senators, di­ versity training, Operation Outreach, an improved Mountaineer Escort service and the discount card, which Little believes is the "Superman of all discount cards." Breakfast with Borkowski was also a platform goal that became a reality and one of the Chancellor's favorite pastimes, Litde said. Taking a moment to reflect on and thank the individual committees, Little said that all of the senators went above The final meeting closed with the tion as he welcomed the vice president and beyond the call of duty. ceremonial passing of the gavel.

"They have been the backbone of this organization, and they complimented the senators' hard work well," Little said. Litde concluded his address by ex­ amining several "opportunities" or areas for improvement. He feels it is important to involve those students not direcdy ef­ fected or benefitted by SGA's presence. "We want them to know that we are here to serve them," Litde said. Litde also hopes that future senates can minimize distractions or anything that may take their focus off of their constitu­ ents. His final suggestion is to continue the effort to foster and cultivate campus and community relationships. Litde also hopes that involvement in the Boone chamber will continue. In his final moments as president, Litde took the opportunity to thank the senators, the cabinet and his constituents for allowing his number one priority of restoring the student voice to be accom­ plished.

The alleged police violence against MOVE did not end with aggravation at demonstrations, Africa said. On Aug. 8,1978, under the guise of eviction on account of housing code vio­ lations, police began to assault MOVE. Members of MOVE hid in the base­ ment of the house as police shot rounds of tear gas and the fire department sprayed 10,000 pounds of water pressure per minute with four hoses into the house, said Africa. A policeman was killed in friendly fire during the stand-off, but members of MOVE were blamed for the death. Nine members of MOVE were arrested, and each was charged with murder, said Af­ rica. All nine members charged were con­ victed of murder, she said. "[This showed us that] 'legal' is not the same as 'right,' " Africa stated. On May 12, 1985, the MOVE town home was surrounded by policemen "armed for war," Africa said. 'They came with 50 caliber machine guns, sniper rifles with silencers, 20 millimeter armor-pierc­ ing anti-tank guns and C-4 explosives," she said. The bomb dropped on the roof of the town home and started a fire. 'The minute we tried to come out [of the home, the police] opened fire [on us] and forced us back into the fire," said Africa. Africa, the only survivor, went to prison charged with possession of explo­ sives, arson, risking and causing a catas­ trophe, riot and simple and aggravated assault. She was convicted of riot and con­ spiracy and served the full sentence of seven years. �The Appalachian is looking for qualified students to fill the following positions for its new summer edition: Staff Writers Wednesday May 6, 1998 5:00 p.m. is the deadline to appply To pick up an application come by the CSIL office or the Student Publications office on the second floor of the student union or call 262-6233 �Jnanj0A[>rU1998.

It has been revealed (l that The Jerry Springer Show" is fake. Let me rep rase that: the fights and the guests with insanely troubled personal lives are fake. Yes, yes, I can hear you shouting at me: 'Jerry's not fake! How could they put it on TV if it wasn't real? You ever hear of professional wrestling? That is admittedly fake, and it is viewed as a form of en­ tertainment rather than a sport. j But Big Daddy Jerry telling us untruths? Say it ain t so. I hate to be the one to break it to you— after all, I love Springer more than most people— but it s true. Guests are coming forward and saying that entire shows were scripted, scenarios were in­ vented, and fights were practiced and polished. Now that the excrement has finally hit the fan, where do we go from here? Do we scream at the entire Springer camp, crucifying everyone who had anything to do with the show? Or do we stop and take a moment to examine the problem and who knew about it? Who do I blame for being misled? The answer seems to rest with one of Springer's producers, Norm Lubow. The guests that have come forward consis­ tently name him as the culprit, the mastermind be­ hind the deception. They told of how he would put them in rooms with scripts outlining the basic concepts behind what they were supposed to say. For example, 'Johnny has been sleeping with Missy for four months, unbe­ knownst to his fiancee of three years. Johnny doesn't know that his fiancee has been having a lesbian af­ fair for six months." I wonder if the script told them to be mad when they heard the news. Many pairs of men that were portrayed as wanting to eviscerate one another were actually good friends. One pair was business partners. Other couples have been portrayed as sex-crazed fiends needing to get their groove on, when in reality, they are faithful couples madly in love with each other. Since past guests have only identified the one man, Norm Lubow, was he the only one who knew? Did he work alone as he fiendishly devised his Ulti­ mate Fighting Championship scenarios in the quest for ratings? If you ask me—and by reading this col­ umn, you are asking me—there may have been more than one person who knew the show was rigged. I have my suspicions. An even better question is, did Jerry know? Personally, I don't think so. All the interviews I've seen with him seem convincing enough; the man doesn't strike me as a bald-faced liar. It also makes sense that he didn't know. Why? I'm about to tell you... I'm sure Jerry heard various rumors circling the studio about rigged guests and phony fights. Why would he want to dig any deeper to find out the truth? If you've got the number one show on television, would you do anything to jeopardize that position? I Letters to the To the Editor: To the Editor: In your April 21 issue, an article appeared by Kelly Fisher entitled "College students don't have to lose faith." It is this article that I am writing a response to. I really appreciated Fisher's article. In my experiences here at ASU, I have found that it is easy to lose sight of the spiritual goals you have set for yourself. I have seen many people who claimed to be Christians give in to temptations and hurt the cause of Christ. I think it is very important that the student body of ASU revert back to those deci­ sions they have made in the past (possibly before they came to ASU). As Fisher said, "College is meant to be a time for growth, development, education and most of all change." But like she said, we need to realize "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." I have been blessed enough to have Christian friends on my hall, in my classes, and all over campus. I am a member of the Baptist Student Union. I have found that it is very helpful to have Christian friends. Faith is im­ portant, and we should not lose sight of what God has set for us, nor forget what he has already done. Sometimes there is an effort made on behalf of the human race which is so great it must be ac­ knowledged publicly. Such is the case with the April 22 Marrow Drive on ASU's campus. A marrow drive gives healthy adults ages 18 to 60 an opportunity to be typed for NMDE Tissue typing is an expensive lab test. This cost makes it difficult for students to be­ come a part of the registry. However, because of fundraising efforts of Alpha Delta Pi, we were able to type 129 persons for NMDR What this means is that there are 129 students at ASU who are willing to undergo a surgical procedure for an unknown person of an unknown race, in an unknown corner of the world, should they ever be a match. This, my friends, is un­ conditional love! These young adults would not have had this opportunity had it not been for the young women of Alpha Delta Pi, who were inspired to en­ thusiastically recruit donors and raise funds. This letter comes as a very sincere thank you to every person who in any way helped this marrow drive happen. To thank each person individually would be impossible. So may I send one huge collec­ tive thank you to all? A special thanks to those who are willing to give another chance to someone suf­ fering from a fatal blood disease. Who knows how far-reaching the effects of this drive may be? Sabrina Gilley sg29492@appstate.edu ...but there was one slight error There was a mistake in the article entitled "College students don't have to lose faith." I know it was only due to Miss Fisher's inexperience with other religions, but I thought it should be corrected for future reference. Latter-day Saints are Chris­ tian. The full name of the church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We do worship the same Jesus Christ that the rest of the Christian world does. It is a common misconception that we do not, but a misconception nonetheless. In the future, please include us and the Lat­ ter-day Saint Student Association with Christians when articles of that nature are printed. Wendy Marshall wm 20434@appstate.edu don't think so. It would have been so easy just to sit back, narrate the happenings between these seem­ ingly social misfits and then write a Final Thought to criticize their lifestyles. Where do I apply for a job like that? Another reason I don't think Springer was told is the simple fact of plausible deniability. Think back, if you will, to the movie "Independence Day." When it was revealed that Area 51 actually had UFOs and alien bodies, did the President of the United States know about it? Hell no. You wanna know why? see Springer on page 4 1 Editor^ Faith column was inspirational... ADPi marrow drive may save lives To the Editor: Daniels "Every day I beat my own previous record for the number of consecutive days I've stayed alive." - George Carlin Ann Hall, Bone Marrow Consultant American Red Cross, Carolinas Region Shut up about the environment To the Editor: In response to the article of April 21 entided "Social division will harm the planet," I say shut up! I am certainly not a typical environmentalist. If you saw me on campus, you wouldn't be able to tell me from anyone else, but I do throw away my trash. We, the students of this campus, don't need division of anything, let alone division of the envi­ ronmental issues. What difference does it make what bin you put your trash in? As long as it is not strewn all over campus and making things look bad, what's the problem? Everyone's worried about the sky hav­ ing a hole in it, or the ice caps melting, or meteors hitting the earth or some other stupid novelesque problem that either doesn't exist or has been in existence for more than 50 years. Why don't we all be good litde boys and girls and make sure that we pick up our trash? Put your recyclables wherever you want, but don't propose mandatory recycling legislation for dorms on cam­ pus. Environmentalism is a personal choice. Don't force your views on others. Nathan Hannan nh27916@appstate.edu Did we dig Ashe Lake's ditch? To the Editor: Your April 16 issue was not fair or accurate to Ashe Lake Garage. Yes, we had the misfortune of having an accident. We have been in business for 15 years, and we move a lot of cars. Sooner or later, an accident is bound to happen. We were mistreated in the article. We took care of both ve­ hicles. Both owners were satisfied with the settle­ ment amount. We did not turn it in to our insur­ ance because it would make our rates higher and would raise premiums for the entire public. Miss Lotz made the comment that we would profit from the cars. Her estimate was $2,264; the book value of her car is only $1,995; we paid her $2,500. This is a loss, not a profit. She also stated that she was without a car. This is false. We paid for a rental car for her from B.Miller Ford the very day of the incident, and she used it for a week at our expense. The Blazer was settled for $5,000. Altogether, the accident has cost us $9,000, not to mention the aggravation and damage to our repu­ tation. We did the right thing and settled the mat­ ter for the parties involved. Ashe Lake Garage Editor's note: The Appalachian asked Ashe Lake Garage for an interview for the April 16 story. They declined to comment on the inci­ dent. �Page 4 Harris Teeter Tired of Looking?

Secretary of APPS, Amy Boyle, says that they have a lot of fun working on staff and encourages anyone interested to join. "We just have fun at our own events," said Boyle, because the students who work on the events, get to go to them free of charge.

The Apps concluded the season with a 13-28 overall ord and a 6-17 mark in Southern Conference play. 60 As a result of new Southern Conference rules, the Mountaineers finish the season without a post-season. Instead if admitting all teams to the tournament as it has previously the Southern Conference will only take the top eight in ° 1998.' Appalachian, with a 10th place finish, is therefore ineli.jbie for the league's post-season extravaganza. 5 Western Carolina led Sunday's contest, 3-2, when its ats came to life in the top of the sixth inning. The Catamounts scored 11runs over the next three frames to top Appalachian, TJ Thomasson Staff Writer 3 14-3. Four Catamounts, Steve Harris, Dave McKay, Matt Sdllwell and Jeff Sziksai, hit home runs in the victory. The beginning of the first game of Saturday's doubleheader was all Appalachian. The Mountaineers led the Cats, 7-3, going into the top of the seventh inning. Frame number seven, and the remainder of the game, belonged to the purple and gold. Western Carolina scored 12 runs in the seventh in­ ning, including a three-run Sziksai homer, to overtake the Mountaineers, 15-7. The teams reversed roles in the second game of the doubleheader. In the second contest, it was Western Carolina holding the early advantage over Appalachian. The Cats scored six runs in the first two innings, fol­ lowed by a two-run performance in the fourth frame, to lead the Apps, 8-2. As their opponents had done in the previous game, the Mountaineers launched a comeback. Appalachian scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth to cut the Catamount advantage to three runs, 8-5. The Mountaineers, trailing 9-5, continued the come­ back in the bottom of the seventh. Stephen Crater blasted a two-run homer to bring the Apps within two, 9-7. Mike Berrier narrowed the gap to one, driving in John Anderson to make the count 9-8. Anderson's run was to be the last of the afternoon for Appalachian. The six-run Mountaineer explosion was not tnough to overturn the Catamount lead. The Cats emerged victorious in the bottom half of the doubleheader by a run, 9- T The Wake Forest Demon Deacons also handed Appa­ lachian a 7-3 loss in Hickory's L.E Franz Stadium last Wednes­ day. The 1999 Mountaineers will feature virtually all of the same cast from the 1998 squad. The team roster includes only one senior, first baseman/outfielder John Hill. The core of Appalachian's of­ fensive arsenal will return next season. The Apps' two offensive leaders, Berrier ®d Shane Sigmon, who hit .381 and 378, respectively, are both juniors. Crater, who blasted a teamleading 11 homers and hit .368 is a freshman. Andy Cheek, who hit .337 ffld went 2-2 on the mound, is a sopho­ more. John Anderson (.336) and Luke Me (.325) are also freshmen. The team's off-season will frave a new face this year. Instead of training in Broome-Kirk Gym, the Mountaineers will be able to prepare 'or the upcoming campaign on an acM baseball stadium. With an experienced lineup and better off-season training opporbmities, the Apps will look toward im­ provement in 1999. The Mountaineers finished with a 13-28 overall record but return a great deal of experience to next year's squad and wil have a field to prac­ tice on (photos by Richard Thomas) Basketball fans should enjoy Jordan's heroics while they last Mark Teske Columnist ^ tJle playoff season begins, we ^bo° rninds off a question that orj en annoying us all year - is Michael LJ 8°ing to retire or not?

The artWork, fluidly blends colors of cre^ty and improvisational theatrics that ta^e our truly belong on what has become his cen­ ter stage. Jordan has always had the fore­ sight of a god, always a step ahead of his opponents, enabling him to absorb and tangle his competitors' thoughts into a web of chaos and dismay. His ability to be the ball, to be lighter than air, is so natural, so simple, and yet, so complex. Jordan shows us that his intensity and threshold levels are much higher than anyone to ever pick up a bas­ ketball. So as you notice the change in season outside, the change you see in Jor­ dan during the playoffs is a sight just as miraculous. Think back to the playoffs in 1991 when the Bulls were playing the Los An­ geles Lakers, back to the day when he was still being compared to Magic Johnson. Let's remember the day when people hadn't really comprehended what kind of player Jordan was going to become. I know many of us can recall mo­ ments in sports and in life that are for­ ever etched inside our minds—moments when you witnessed such greatness, it left your body tingling, moments you knew were going to go down in sports history. The NBA finals for all of the 1990s were moments like that for me. The 1991 finals between the Los Angeles Lakers was a fierce batde of wills between two teams at the top. One team was ascending, the Bulls, and the Lakers were descending from the top. It was the team of the 1980s against the team of the 1990s. The Lakers were trying to main­ tain the long tradition of excellence, and the Bulls were trying to merely get their foot in the doorway of excellence. No one was more integral than Jordan in the landmark series as he dis­ played his usual intensity, striving for his first championship. As Jordan approached the top of the key, sweat glistening off of his body like a waterfall, you could see his eyes explode and trademark tongue extend. Two steps and two dribbles later, he glides through the paint, right elbow cocked, with the ball palmed like it's a ripe melon. Up, up into the air filled with elbows like trees. Muscles flexed, and with ease, the ball appears magically in his left hand, floating by defenders left be­ hind like their feet are frozen in cement. Finally on his way down from thinner altitudes, he effordessly taps the ball off the glass with the care of a surgeon. As the ball threads the basket like a needle, a look of bewildered astonishment swarms over the entire arena. True greatness! Regardless of what the confused Bulls manage­ ment decides, focus on the positives. You will get the chance at watching a true champion use every last gasp­ ing breath to go out a winner and prove that he is not just the best basketball player of this era, but the best player to ever lace up a pair of sneak­ ers. The sport of NASCAR narrowly avoided the biggest loss in their 50-year his­ tory this past Sunday at the famed Talladega Super Speedway in Alabama. Bill Elliott, who has been picked by fans as the most popular driver year after year in the 1990's, should be in the hospital today, but he's not. Elliott can thank God that he wasn't seriously injured when his McDonald's Ford Taurus was sent airborne after Dale Earnhardt spun into him. Earnhardt sustained more injuries than Elliott, receiving seconddegree burns when Elliott's car erupted into flames in the wreck. Elliott only had his breath knocked out of him. Elliott left the track after the wreck and flew himself back to Georgia to see his own doctor. All tests came back nega­ tive on Elliott, and he plans to race this week­ end. NASCAR is very lucky; they could have lost the two most popular drivers in their history. So who is to blame for this wreck that sent 20 cars to the garage area? There are two things at fault. The first is Ward Burton. Burton's foolish and inexpe­ rienced driving was the direct cause of the wreck. The other thing at fault is the restrictor plate. This device that slows the cars down also bunches 40+ cars together into one big pack and guarantees a big disaster for many. The plate, however, can't be blamed for Burton's actions on Sunday. He just drove too low through the corner and lost control of his car long enough to nudge Earnhardt and nearly kill Elliott. After the race, Burton said, "I reckon I ran on the apron, and I reckon I got into Earnhardt." Burton reckons this. Well I guess he also reckons that he single-handedly ruined the race day for 20 cars and millions of race fans. Burton proved by his comments how small of a person he is. He knows that his idi­ otic driving mistake is the cause of the wreck, but doesn't own up to it. Burton should ac­ cept responsibility for his actions. I used to own an MBNA credit card, Burton's sponsor, but after his actions, I have canceled it until they can find a driver who can own up to his actions. If this wreck had taken place out on the highway, Burton would have to pay. Burton should be made to pay each race team's expenses for the cost of a new race car. At about a million a car, Burton owes about $20 million. But of course, NASCAR doesn't work this way. After wiping out half the field, Bur­ ton recorded his first top ten Talladega finish. He had to just miss the spinning Earnhardt car and duck under Elliott's airborne car to secure the result. So, will Burton pay? I think he al­ ready is, and will for much of the rest of the season. I expect he has received a truck load of hate mail. NASCAR fans rarely forgive and seldom forget. The mail will just be the start of Burton's debt. The man who had few fans before will have even less now. I can't wait until this weekend's race, and I wish I could be there to hear the boos coming from the crowd. The previously most-hated drivers, Earnhardt and Gordon, will be delighted to hear that their boos will be nothing but a whimper compared to the boos that will ac­ company Burton's appearance at the Califor­ nia Speedway in Fontana on Sunday. Burton deserves every boo and hiss he receives and more. More bad news for Bur­ ton: It will only get worse when NASCAR re­ turns home to Charlotte in a few weeks. The season finale is in Adanta, just a few hours from Elliott's hometown of Dawsonville. If you think that the Georgians will have forgotten Ward, think again. I expect the roar of obscenities from the crowd at the Adanta race will be the loudest by far. It is already painfully obvious to most of us that Ward doesn't belong in the world of NASCAR racing, and it would only benefit the sport if he gave up racing and went back home to his hole in South Boston,Va.. �Page 10 The Appalachian 30 A APtil Appalachian News appears in each issue of the paper. ea , . tion, including hours and a short description of your proqramC '.nforihaciuded under each listing.

Former governor of North Carolina, Terry Sanford was buried in Duke Chapel last Wednesday after losing a battle with cancer. He was 80 years old. Sanford's funeral was shown live on UNC-TV last Wednesday. The Terry and Margaret Rose Sanford Hall on ASU's campus was dedi­ cated to the Sanford family in 1969. Sanford served as governor of N.C. from 1961-1965. In addition to being governor, Sanford was a distinguished patriot serv­ ing as a WWI paratrooper, an FBI agent, president of Duke University and as a state and U.S. senator. Sanford was always in the forefront of education. He will be remembered by most as the senator who strived for excellence in education and in government. "North Carolina is on the move, and we intend to stay on the move," Sanford once said. Senator Lauch Faircloth led the U.S. Senate in giving condolences last Hiesday. Faircloth read a lengthy resolution praising the late governor and senator for bettering his beloved state, its educational standards and the U.S. Senate. Faircloth "Studies have shown Women's wages have Continued to increase, "hile the salaries of white Tales have continued to decrease." he Appalachian regrets this error. was a one-time close friend and political adversary.

Victoriously United: I 'Drive Hunger Out:' an end to Greek Week donate canned goods Pete Eubanks Leslie Hitchcock Staff Writer News Editor For several days, students around campus may have noticed more students wearing Greek letters than usual. The simple answer behind this is that April 19-25 was Greek Week. "Greek Week encourages all of the Greeks to come together," said Vice-Presi­ dent Administrative for the Interfraternity Council Adrian Jollife. According to Jollife, Greek Week incorporates community service, athletics, mall events and a lip-synch competition. To serve the community, Greek or­ ganizations held a canned food drive that collected approximately 4,000 cans, served three shifts at the Hospitality House, participated in a campus-wide clean-up, worked for Habitat for Human­ ity and held a blood drive for the Red Cross. Correction: In the April edition of The Appala°hian, a statistic was misinterpreted in the article on civil rights activist Tim Wise. The statement should Above: The Terry and Margaret Rose Sanford Hall was dedicated to the North Carolina "education" governor and his wife in 1969. Sanford died recently from cancer at 80 years old (photo by Nikki Wilson) Right: Sanford was governor from 1961-65. . . Greek organizations also partici­ pated in a service project for the Ameri­ can Heart Association called "Pump for Hearts," Jollife said. "Members pumped gas for people at gas stations and received donations of about $300," said Jollife. "Greek Week is the kind of thing that gets our name out in the community to help get rid of stereotypes that are made A Chi Omega member finishes her leg of the dizzy bat competition (photo by Andrew Hershner) about us," said steering committee mem­ ber Mason Reuter.. "It is a chance for us to get out and compete and to let others know that we do things around campus," Reuter said. The high country was hit hard by floods this winter, and families need help. Seven students from the Appala­ chian State University Social Work Depart­ ment are coordinating a community project called "Drive Hunger Out." The students are collecting canned foods and other non-perishable items for the Watauga County Hunger Coalition. The Hunger Coalition is an emer­ gency food relief agency which currently serves 1,820 families in Watuaga, Avery and Ashe counties. According to Jennifer Moretz, a stu­ dent working on the project, all types of families are served by the Hunger Coali­ tion. "No one is denied (help from our or­ ganization)," said Moretz. The Hunger Coalition also has a small cash assistance program which helps people pay for electricity and a free phar­ macy where people can have certain pre­ scriptions filled. Students from the Social Work De­ partment have two goals, according to project participant, Lori Jenkins. The first goal is to raise awarness on campus for the Hunger Coalition, and the second goal is to help the Hunger Coa­ lition with their efforts. Participants have placed boxes in all of the residence halls on campus for do­ nations. Last Wednesday, students from the Social Work Department set up an infor­ mation table in the Plemmons Student Union to raise awareness about the project. According to Jenkins, the "Drive Hunger Out" program has been a success so far. "We've actually been surprised about how students have responded," said Jenkins. A table for donations will be set up on Sanford Mall Wednesday, April 29, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Moretz encourages people to come out and donate canned foods and money, if possible. Items the Hunger Coalition needs most are canned meats, powdered milk, soups, juices, baby food, toothbrushes, toothpaste and feminine products.

My schedule is full." - Henry Kissinger The Appalachian is published every Tuesday Thursday of the academic year with the excep- Conversation in my dorm room last night re­ volved around a recent magazine article that my roommate had perused while working out. Entided "What Your Number Says About You," the article asked women how many men they had slept with, and then proceeded to analyze how this magic num­ ber influences future sexual relationships. My room­ mate told me how shocked she was by the results of this survey: one woman had slept with 45 men, and she was only 23 years old. "I don't even know 45 men," was my roommate's bewildered response. While this article is typical for a women's maga­ zine, its content is particularly alarming and revolt­ ing. The free love mentality of the 1960s has evolved (or digressed) into the casual sex behaviors of the 1990s. As we head into the new millennium, sexu­ ally related problems like disease and teenage preg­ nancy continue to plague the world. But in order to solve or at least alleviate these critical situations, we must realize who is to blame so behaviors can change. After hearing the details of the number article, I am fully convinced that women must take more respon- sibility for their sexuality. And unfortunately, women like Ms. 45 make it clear that college women are some of the most promiscuous members of our gender. On most Monday mornings, I see girlfriends catching up on what happened over the weekend. I don't eavesdrop, but while sitting in class I catch snip­ pets of these conversations: "I don't remember what happened, because I was so drunk, but I woke up in his bed...Yeah, I'll probably never see him again...It was a total onenight stand." Before I came to college, I believed the stereotype that only men told such tri­ umphant stories. And while I won't comment on the immorality of one-night stands, I will recognize that because women talk in hushed tones, they aren t marked by the same stereotype that brands most men disgusting pigs. Rather, when women mess around and get pregnant in high school or college, they are considered unlucky victims of circumstance. Never mind the fact that she slept with 10 guys before Bobby; Bobby is the one who "got her pregnant." Through their promiscuity, many women fuel the fire that feminists have tried to extinguish for the past few decades. Feminists rally against anything that portrays a woman as a trophy or a piece of meat. Most women would agree that they are intimidated by the thought that all men want supermodels with perfect bodies. But when a woman goes to a party, drinks too much and has unprotected sex with some­ one she just met, she shows her support of the caveman's practice of clubbing a woman over the head and dragging her home. Not all sexually active women are ir­ responsible. On the con­ trary, I think the sexual revolution has been accompa­ nied by a birth control revolu­ tion. The introduction of a safer birth control pill and newer methods such as the Depo-Provera shot and Norplant make it easy for women to protect them­ selves against pregnancy and disease. But this responsibility is marred by certain women who choose to have a good time, all the time. The choice to be sexually active is certainly a per­ sonal one, and women should not be frowned upon for simply having sex. A reprimand is overdue, though, for those women who have turned sex into the number game that merits an article in a major magazine. Your number shouldn't say anything about you. I think it should speak for itself. Because women talk in hushed tones, they aren't marked by the same stereotype that brands most men as disgusting pigs. Right and left are not so simple anymore Matt Bielejeski Columnist This country was founded on the right. We firmly believed that we were right and England was wrong. So we fought a war to prove that we were right, and then we wrote the Bill of Rights. In the present day we even have a right-wing political party. "But how does this effect me?" you might ask. If everything involving this country was right, then why do people have such a difficult time grasping right and left? "Okay," you're thinking, "here's another one of that Polish guy's rants about something truly mean­ ingless." In my opinion, it's not meaningless if it ef­ fects my life every day. A perfect example of what I'm talking about can be viewed every time you walk to class. You re toddling along the sidewalk by Sanford Mall and some fool ahead of you is walking on his left, which is, coincidentally, your right. Considering he's a guy that probably weighs 275 pounds and could bench press you without breaking a sweat, you are forced to alter your course and swerve all over the place. An even better situation than the "immovable person" scenario is the happy little walking tango. Oh, you know what I'm talking about. You and the person 30 feet ahead of you are headed on a colli­ sion course very similar to the Titaniand that giant ice cube. As you get within 10 feet of each other, one person makes a motion to go one way, and the other follows in the exact same direc­ tion. After doing this well-choreo­ graphed body shuffle for a few seconds, one of you finally picks a direction, hoping that the other person will move. It's situations similar to this one that cause a bunch of the world's problems. Two countries end up in a deadlock: in peace negotiations, in arms agreements, whatever. The impasse isn't solved until one of the sides becomes the "immovable country" and plows ahead, regardless of the effect to the op­ posing country's inhabitants. Remember Saddam Hussein—that desert vi­ per with the kitchen towel on his head? He didn't care about Kuwait's people when he decided to an­ nex their country. He didn't care about using chemi­ cal weapons on the Kurds. In come the Americans with our smart bombs bombing and our air strikes destroying. We were determined that we had to "right" the wrong that Hussein was committing by invading Kuwait. Now don't get me wrong; I support our decision to go there and clean house. The problem I have is with the final outcome. In our country's desire to be "right," we de­ cided to let Saddam stay in Baghdad to build up his supplies. We didn't fix the problem. The peace accords were only a stopgap. And as we all know, a stopgap won't fix a problem forever. He's been sitting over there in Iraq, having his way with UN inspectors and anyone else he can push around. Why? Because he knows that because of our desire to be "right" in the eyes of the world, we won't do anything to stop him. It's time to stop trying to please everyone. Big Daddy Hussein has more than enough weapons and chemicals stored up already. Why needlessly waste the lives of America's military if we can make the problem "right" once and for all? World War II oc­ curred because World War I didn't end in the right way and didn't resolve anything. We need to go into Iraq, go straight to Baghdad, put Saddam six feet under, establish order and quit being a "yes-man" to the rest of the world. If we don't, expect to be seeing Gulf War II in the next generation's history books. It's situations similar to this one that cause a lot of the world's problems. Two countries end up in a deadlock.

The tandem produced five shut­ outs, four of which were shared. Beckman recorded the lone individual shutout in a 1-0 victory at UNC-Wilmington. "We saw some solid minutes from our goalkeepers last year, and we will go with the same three again this year," Popoola stated. "Whichever one has the better perfor­ mance in practice sessions for a given week will get the start. It will be like goalie-by-committee. It sure is nice to have that kind of depth in such a key position," commented Popoola. Popoola will look for minutes from a talented group of recruits. Top prospects out of the 1998 recruiting class include: Charlotte Grainger (F, 5-6, Brentwood, Tenn.), Casey Jacobs (MF/F, 5-6, Brunswick, Me.), and Jenny Loofbourrow (D, 5-7, Frederick, Md.). "We have the pieces in place to have a very successful season," Popoola said. "Seven wins was a big turnaround last year, and we would like to see some more progress as far as improving the win column. The kids have taken on the atti­ tude that they can win every time they step on the field, which is a key to our success. We are looking to put together a winning season and put ourselves in the thick of the conference race." Playoff excitement NBA and NHL titles are up for grabs once again Mike Daniels Managing Editor Baseball 13-28 Overall 6-17 Conference Tennis ) Meals Overall ^ Conference Women's 7-14, Overall 1-7 Conference Golf Menls 10-50, Overall finished eigth in Conference (out of 11 teams) ^omen's 17-32, Overall Finished fourth in Conference (out of six teams) It's that time of year again; some­ thing is in the Air. Yes, it's playoff time in the NBA and NHL, and once again, the great ones (except for Wayne Gretsky) will shine. In the NBA, the greatest one of them all, His Airness Michael Jordan, is looking to lead the Bulls as we know them to one last championship before medioc­ rity sets in Chicago. Getting to the finals should be no problem for Jordan and company, as the Eastern Conference brackets are full of mediocrity. After dismissing the Nets and then the winner of the Hornets/Hawks se­ ries, the Bulls will fight it out to beat Larry Bird's upstart Pacers. In the Western Conference, there are four teams, Seattle, Los Angeles, Utah and San Antonio, that have a legitimate chance at meeting the Bulls in the finals. If all goes according to plan, as it should in a five-game series, these four teams will face off in the second round, with the Lak­ ers and the Jazz barely getting past the Sonics and the Spurs. Conventional wisdom says that the Lakers, with Shaq, Kobe Bryant, Nick Van Exel and all the other talent, would get by the Jazz pretty easily. Don't look for that to happen, however, since the Jazz have team-oriented guys like John Stock­ ton, Karl Malone and Jeff Hornacek who actually care more about winning than making Taco Bell commercials. This will be an extremely hardfought series, pitting the upstart new kids from L.A. against the savvy veterans from Salt Lake. In the end however, I think NBC will get the finals matchup they want, as the Lakers will take the Jazz, 4-3. That will set up one of the most memorable NBA finals ever with Jordan, the only multi-zillion dollar guy that America loves to root for more than Tiger Woods, going up against two of his sup­ posed successors; O'Neal and Bryant. Look for Jordan to turn this se­ ries into the grandest swan song ever and show Kobe and Shaq why they will never hold a candle to His Greatness. Michael will embarrass the Lakers night after night and lead his Bulls to their second threepeat this decade by allowing the Lakers to win just one, maybe two games. The league MVP should also take home the playoff MVP award as well. When it's all over, Shaq will be left wondering if he'll ever win at a level beyond high school and why people don't like him as much as Jordan. In the NHL playoffs, it's a totally different scenario, as the second-best player in all of team sports after Jordan, Dominick Hasek, finds himself surrounded by losers on the lowly Buffalo Sabres. It is unfortunate for Hasek that he has no Scottie Pippen or Phil Jackson to help him out, because he can't make the Sabres' pathetic offense put the puck in the other net while sitting in front of his own. After upsetting the underachiev­ ing Flyers, 4-3, in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Sabres will fall to the trap-happy New Jersey Dev­ ils in the second round. The Devils will then win the East­ ern Conference because they have enough offense to support their star goalie, Mar­ tin Brodeur, and because with Philly out of the way, there will be no one else with the talent to challenge them. In the Western Conference, there should be some upsets along the way as either top-seeded Dallas or defending champ Detroit will fall before they get to the conference finals. My money is on Dallas to go down. So look for the winner of the De­ troit/Colorado war, a rivalry far nastier than the Knicks' and Heat's feud in the NBA, to go on to the Stanley Cup Finals, where they will fall to the defensiveminded Devils; 4-3 if it's Detroit, 4-1 if it's Colorado. Brodeur will bring his second Cup home to North Jersey, and guys like Hasek and Eric Lindros will be wonder­ ing why they can't even get one. Spring is in the Air Jordans (mostly in his feet), and so are champ! onships for the Bulls and Devils. J) �The Appalachian 28 AM| Page 8 Appalachian News appears in each issue of the paper.

An agreement between Northeast Yucai School in Shenyang, China and Ap­ palachian State University for the ex­ change of educators and students was reached last year. Dr. Henry McCarthy, assistant dean of the college of education curriculum and instruction, said, "It's the first high school, middle school exchange that we know of in the United States." The primary purpose of the ex­ change is to share ideas about integrat­ ing technology into classroom instruction, but there are also many other goals, McCarthy said. Three Chinese educators have been at Appalachian since March 5 and will conclude their stay in Washington, D.C. on May 2. The educators are Wan Jing Hua, a geography teacher, Ann Jiang Juhui, an English teacher, and Gu Zuyu, an associ­ ate principal at Northeast Yucai School. They have attended a variety of workshops, lectures and seminars and also experienced three days at Watauga High School from a student perspective. Northeast Yucai School is consid­ ered to be one of the top three public schools in China. According to Professor of Leadership and Education Studies, Dr. John Tashner, the school is similar to the North Carolina School of Science and Math. It employs 120 teachers and has 1,600 students enrolled in classes. The students at Northeast Yucai School are middle and high school age individuals considered to be some of the most talented in China. Associate principal, Gu Zuyu, said he and his collegues have really had a good time and learned a lot. Zuyu said, while at Watauga High School, they learned that American stu­ dents are creative and excel in arts and crafts. According to McCarthy, the teach­ ing methods in China are more traditional than American methods. "The Chinese feel they can learn from us creative ways of teaching. And what we can learn from them,I think, is probably more structure, discipline and hard work," said McCarthy. "Our aim to come here is not only to learn about technology, but to have a cultural exchange," said Zuyu. The two cultures can contribute to each other because they are so different, said Dr. McCarthy. In the upcoming days, the Chinese educators will attend schools in WinstonSalem and Washington D.C. They will also visit monuments in Washington D.C. and meet Congressman Richard Burr, a North Carolina representative. Seven students seeking masters de­ grees from Appalachian's Reich College of Education leave for Bejing May 27. In Bejing, they will go sightseeing for a few days and then travel to the Northeast Yucai Schopl. Tashner and the graduate students will exchange materials collected by stu­ dents in the educational media program, as well as copies of lesson plans. The graduate students, also tech­ nology specialists in area community col­ leges, will survey computer networking capability and software and hardware needs at Northeast Yucai School. According to Tashner, the school has 75 modern computers and is one of the few public schools in China to have Internet and World Wide Web access. It's very useful for students to get information by themselves from the Internet, said Zuyu. "We have much to learn from them, both in terms of their culture, as well as in terms of how they are educating their people," said Tashner. McCarthy said Appalachian has had a number of universities call inquiring on how Appalachian acheived the exchange. The credit is due in part toMcCarthy's son, Hank McCarthy, an Appalachian graduate and teacher in China, who started the communication between Northeast Yucai School and Appalachian.

Winston-Salem native Jen­ nifer Thornton won $100 in mer­ chandise when she designed the winning logo in a contest spon­ sored by Alpha and Omega. According to store owner Tanya Pittman, the store needed a new logo, and she was racking her brain trying to figure one out. She had been working on it in her head and on the computer for three or four months. "I was coming up dry, so I Sigma Kappa member Jennifer decided to let the professionals do Thorton won the design contest that it," said Pittman.

Thornton said that being rority sisters read out the announcement a graphic design major made it possible for her to win the con­ test without spending all of her free time on it. She designed four logos in less than an hour, and one of them won. But using her talent to win contests is not exactly a new thing for Thornton. She designed the logo for Appalachian's Homecoming fes­ tivities in the fall of '97. The prize for winning that contest was Blpha to Omega $200. Jennifer Thornton won the logo design contest sponsored by Alpha to Omega (photo by Bret Gerbe). Thornton said that it was easy for her to spend the time of fall finals working on that project. "I am an art major, so I don't really have exams," she said. Thornton said that she planned to use the $100 prize money to buy some apparel and other items associated with her sorority, Sigma Kappa, for a new sorority sister who would be coming this fall. �I Thursday, April 23rd Game Starts at 7:00 Gates Open at 6:00 Hickory Crawdads Delmarva Shorebirds $3.00 Admission with ASU I.D.!

Here's a eulogy for comic genius Beth Bliss Mike Daniels Opinion Editor Managing Editor If you listen to some people, the end of the world is not coming at the turn of the century. It's much closer than you think. The end of the world, according to these pathetic souls, is coming May 14, the night when the final episode of "Seinfeld" airs at 9 p.m. on NBC. For millions of diehard fans, this finale signifies more than Armageddon. Even though the world won't crumble, television as they know and love it will never be the same without Jerry, Elaine, George, Kramer and countless other characters who have made "Seinfeld" a television phenomenon. Though Jerry Seinfeld and his eclectic entourage have brought a new sense of idiocy (or, as some would say, innovationj to prime time, nine seasons have left a sour taste in my mouth. Enough is enough, and I realize I face tremendous opposition when I say I am happy that "Seinfeld" is finally calling it quits. The show deserves a few accolades. According to NBC's website (www.nbc.com), the show has been the highest-rated series for the past three seasons, and over 30 million viewers tuned in last year. "Seinfeld" has won several awards, including Emmys and Golden Globes, so obviously it is a com­ edy heralded by critics and couch potatoes alike. But I cannot agree with the statement that "Seinfeld" is the show that has shaped our generation—that's the blanket description used by Entertainment Weekly magazine. A show that prides itself on having no plot should not be given such a compliment. "Seinfeld" supporters argue that the show's simplicity makes it great. And while I admit that the efforts of each individual cast member contribute to the sitcom's strength, the story lines are no less than ridiculous. The one episode that sticks out in my mind involves Elaine's realization that muffin tops are much tastier than muffin "stumps." She concludes that life would be so much better if some insightful individual would open a muffin top shop, selling the best part of the muffin with little regard to the pathetic muffin stump. As the half hour progresses, the plot thickens, and Elaine's old boss steals her idea: He opens a store called Top 0' The Muffin To You. And now we are left with another crazy prob­ lem for that crazy cast to solve before the end of the show. This kind of situation happens every day. Weird people make weird conclusions. We all know people like Elaine, and we love these people for their quirks. "Seinfeld" thrives on life's extraordinary normal­ cies, but it's hard to see how a show about muffin tops can receive such high praise. And how can the end of "Seinfeld" create such a stir? Look at other shows that are end­ ing this year, and think what they have brought to television and society. Though it is not offi­ cially canceled, "Ellen" is probably in its last sea­ son.I don't watch the show, butIhave to admire the risks Ellen Degeneres and ABC have taken with this program. AlthoughIwon't miss this show, Imourn the loss, because "Ellen" used the most popu­ lar medium to break social barriers and change opinons. WhenI think of shows that have left their marks on society, a long list forms in my head. WhileI appreci­ ate and respect the efforts of Jerry Seinfeld, I can't in­ clude his show on that list, and I think his humor is ready for retirement. "Seinfeld" should be admired for its nine seasons and 180 episodes, for its many Emmys and Golden Globes and its millions of devoted fans. But "Seinfeld" certainly should not be hailed as the definition of modern culture. Though the thought is tempting, as a member of this generation, I'd like to be classified in a category that has nothing to do with...nothing. In the last few months, a lot of writers have taken to composing eloquent eulogies praising NBC's pop culture sensation, "Seinfeld"— the show that, as we all know, has just four episodes left in its hilari­ ous nine-year run. I don't really want to add to the list, but by explaining why the show deserves its numerous accolades and hype, I guess I will be. The show goes off the air on May 14, a night when NBC will possibly amass more viewers than it did when it carried the Super Bowl a few months ago. And while that Thursday will be a sad night for many families, some people have been left to wonder what the fuss is over. Critics ask, "Why all the hype for the end of a show about nothing?" Why do actors and actresses who have bit parts playing weird characters like Puddy, Frank Costanza and Newman end up with major advertising deals? Why did audience members at the taping of the fini episode have to sign an affidavit swearing that they won't tell anyone what happened in it? Why does the mayor of New York City, the town where the show is set, want to have a grand farewell party on May 14, watching the episode with thou­ sands of other fans on a big screen at Yankee Stadium? When "Cheers" went off the air, nobody had a party at Fenway Park,or the Boston Garden. The answer to all of those questions is that "Seinfeld" is the best show on television today, and perhaps it is the best sitcom ever. It's better than "Cheers,' better than "M.A.S.H.," better than "The Cosby Show," better than any other sitcom that has ever been on television. There are several reasons why it is so great. For one thing, the characters are very real. People identify with strange neighbors who always want to borrow stuff, fat bald guys who are irritable and can't hold down a job, pushy women who like to "pop-in" and parents who get old and fight over nothing. Except for Jerry (sometimes), these char­ acters don't live in a perfect TV world. They rarely seem to have things go their way. That is not uncommon for sitcom characters, but the problems that these characters face are creative and very funny. Remember George's dilemma when he tried to get fired by George Steinbrener and couldn't? Or when Jerry didn't know the name of a woman he was dating and had to try and guess it, knowing only that it rhymed with a female body part? These are the story lines that have made "Seinfeld" so funny. That brings up another reason the show is so great: its writers. Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, the real-life inspiration for George Costanza, are the best sitcom writers in the business today. They turned a show that is lit­ erally about nothing into something that every­ body watched. Then, to top it off, they made a series of episodes, right at the time when the show was really becoming big, about how they pitched the "show about nothing" idea to NBC in the first place. How innovative is that? They had actors come on the show to play the parts of real actors whose parts are in turn based on real people. Seinfeld and David have written episodes with ideas that have now become part of our mainstream culture. Think about it.How many people talked about "double-dipping" or "shrinkage" a few years ago?

To the Editor: Aspirin kills 2,000 people every year. Marijuana kills a whopping zero. But the marijuana issue had noth­ ing to do with our painting in the tunnel or with Monday's festivities. As far as "dirty hippies" go, this statement is not only outdated and irrelevant, it is unnecessary. The person who spray-painted over our design did not bother to find out what our club does or what our Field Day was all about. Do you think my calling him or her "ignorant" will solve anything? The H.E.M.R Club's primary purpose is educa­ tion. If people want to learn about the history of pro­ hibition, industrial hemp or marijuana, we hope that they will come to a meeting and ask. We do not force our views on others, and we expect the same treat­ ment from our peers. On April 20, the Appalachian State H.E.M.R Club sponsored a Field Day out on Sanford Mall. In preparation for this event, the club painted the Coltrane/Justice tunnel. Someone came behind us and destroyed our handiwork, using such slogans as "Don't Smoke Hemp," and "Say No To Drugs," as well as several derogatory statements directed to­ ward "dirty hippies." First of all, the H.E.M.R Club was celebrating Earth Week. The S.A.VE. Club designated Monday for alternative fibers. Hemp is a source of fiber. It is cheaper (when domestic production is legal) and more durable than cotton. The plant is not as de­ structive to the soil as cotton production, because Kate Harding the hemp plant actually produces its own pesticides.

Apparently, a new indoor graduation arena (convocation center) is more important than bet­ ter classrooms or a library. A new science building was needed, so it was built. A better student union was needed, so it was remodeled. A better history/criminal jus­ tice/political science building was needed so it was...oh, that's right. Whitener Hall is still there. For those of you who do not know, Whit­ ener Hall was, at one point, an elementary school. It is one of the oldest buildings used by the univer­ sity. There are no plans on the horizon for a re­ placement building or even for a major renova­ tion. Apparently, the chancellor and board of trust­ ees feel the need for a new gym is greater than the need for better classroom facilities. In a recent article, Buzz Peterson was quoted as saying, "The thing we hear about us a lot is, 'They play in a high school gym'." Well, guess what Buzz, I go to class in an elementary school. I don't speak for the other 10,000 plus stu­ dents here, but I imagine most of us came to Ap­ palachian for a college degree. I think the chan­ cellor and board should recognize that.

Putting on a Shakespearean play, which the Department of Theater and Dance does every four years (the last play was "A Mid Summer Night's Dream," which opened up Valborg Theater), re­ quires a lot of extra effort. King said,"The costumes were a big deal. They took up a lot of time." All of the costumes are in a renaissance style. Designers were still working on the cos­ tumes as late as 2 a.m. Tuesday night. But the cast and crew did get a break with the scenery for "Much Ado About Nothing." It is rented from Wake Forest University, which already put on the play. The cast and crew of "Much Ado About Nothing" have been working on the play for almost all semester. In addition to the difficulties of getting the costumes, the actors also had to learn to understand every Shakespearean metaphor and ref­ erence. "You have to start with the books," said King. In addition, the women of the play all wore corsets, which they re­ hearsed in for three or four weeks. "I hated it," King said."You couldn't bend over." King said that the men were often quite grumpy about having to wear tights. Although its been a chore to put on, the cast and crew of "Much Ado About Nothing" are excited about the first Shakespearean play in four years. With it's talented ac­ tors, actresses and histori­ cally correct dancing, this is a performance that no one should miss. All photos by Marvin Evans.

"I went up to the same counter as the locals did. I didn't go on a tour bus. I didn't buy a tour package," Fisher said. Fisher says his father was urging him on to see the rest of the world like Fisher had always wanted. Fisher attributes a lot of his reasoning behind his South America trip to the untimely death of his father after a bout with can­ cer. Fisher said, at that point, it made him realize how short life is. "I sat there and said to myself, 'It could be me, it could be you.' I wanted to make sure that S°Uth An,aka 316 "^passionate and more genuine," Fisher said. But, Fisher said he loves the United States and feels fortu­ nate to come back and share his experiences and point out our dif­ ferences. He said he is flattered by all the attention he has received, but being known has been the down side to his experience. "I think there is admira­ tion to a degree that I'm doing something that 40-year-old people would love to do but they've got­ ten too caught up in their lives," Fisher said. After seeing so much of the world, Fisher said he thinks people need a balance of education, experience and travel. Fisher says he is grateful for his education but wouldn't give up all the -velmg he has done for it I would rather travel and meet people than all the educa­ tion," Fisher said. Fisher said that if he had the trip to do over again, he would definitely brush up on his Span­ ish-speaking skills. Fisher's next goal: the rest of the world. Fisher plans to leave July 4,1998, to head up to Alaska, cross over into Russia, then Asia, Australia, and finally Africa. "If everything goes as scheduled, I'll return January 1, 2000. It's a great way to kick off the new millinium," Fisher said. Fisher plans to publish a book called "The Latin American Adventures of Monroe's 'Talk About the World,'" detailing his adventures and how he did every­ thing. Fisher said you don't have to go to some far away place to explore. "There's plenty of explor­ ing you can do right here. It's just a matter of whether you want to or not," Fisher said. Fisher does not consider himself to belong to any one oc­ cupation, but rather sees himself as an adventurer looking for ful­ fillment in life.

In the hammer throw, Japwred a second-place finish with a throw of 152-9. "We are so proud of Ayokka Greene ending her career at Appalachian " Weaver said. "She is leaving with two con­ ference titles and conference records." Shonte Pinkston and M.J. Harrelson trailed Greene, each of whom tallied 20 points. Pinkston left the meet being named Freshman-of-the-Year. Weaver commented that Pinkston has added some depth to the team in her first year as a freshman. Pinkston's outstanding perfor­ mance included two first-place finishes. She collected a victory in the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.12 seconds. Pinkston also nailed down a victory in the 200-meter dash with a time of 25.01. M.J. Harrelson also garnered two first-place finishes. Harrelson finished with a time of 4:26.62 in the 1,500-meter run and finished with a time of 2:09.47 in the 800-meter run. "What can you say about an out­ standing athlete like M. J. Harrelson who won the 1,500-meter and 800-meter in record time?" Weaver said. "She then re­ turned to anchor our relay team to a firstplace finish." Harrelson led the 400-meter re­ lay with time of 3:52.39. The 100-meter relay team com­ pleted the domination by placing first with a time of 47.29. Karen Houston and Angela Pryor added points to the board in the 100 and 200-meter dashes. Houston grabbed two second-place finishes while Pryor grabbed two third-place finishes. Christine Ziemba came through with a first-place finish in the javelin throw. Ziemba threw ten feet further than the second-place finisher, with a distance of 123 feet. The men's team met their chief opposition for a championship in VMI. The Keydets proved to be too much for the Apps, placing first in the men's com­ petition. Anthony Famighetti led the men's team with 20 points. Famighetti, who is an NCAA qualifier, ran a time of 9:08.06 and took a first-place win in the Steeplechase. He also took a first-place win in the 5,000meter run with a time of 14:42.60. Todd Poremba also qualified for the NCAA Tournament. Poremba garnered first place in the pole vault with a vault of 17-5 1/4. Poremba is the first person for Appalachian to qualify for nationals in the pole vault. McGhinnis and Mahatha each marked up the score with nine points apiece.

J A three-game series with SouthIfance front-runner UNC-Greensfisaless successful venture for the Sports Editor The Lady Mountaineers may have had an off season on the court, but all seems to be well in the world of recruiting. The Apps started this fall with a commitment from Lauren Romano. Romano, a Louisiana native, averaged eight assists and 16 points per game in high school. As a point guard, Romano led her team to two state championships Romano boasts a 60 percent average from three-point range that should help the ASU offense out immensely. "Lauren should see minutes early," said ASU Coach Barbie Breedlove. "I don't know if she'll start right away. I really don't know who's go­ ing to get the starting job," she added. The Mountaineers will also get help up front from Tiffany Cole, a 6'1" Southwest Randolph High School graduate. The wing from Denton was voted to the all-county and all-conference teams and was the conference player of the year. Cole also was a player in the North Carolina East-West all-star game and averaged 17 points and 10 rebounds per game. "I expect her to get minutes, but she's coming in behind a lot of very experienced players," said Breedlove. Theresa Richardson, who hails from Chatta­ nooga, Tenn., will offer ASU a very athletic 6'1" post player. "She's a much better athlete than a basketball player," Breedlove said. Richardson averaged 10 points per game and eight blocks per game Adding an international flavor to the class wil be 6'3" Lucia Borcinova, who hails from Slovakia. "As an international player, she's got quite a bit of experi­ ence," Breedlove said. The coach added, "She's very agile and mobile for a 6'3" kid." Being part of the staff before former Head Coach Linda Robinson resigned proved to be an ad­ vantage to Breedlove and her staff in the recruiting wars. "We really didn't miss a beat when Linda made the decision to go into administration," Breedlove said. Breedlove went on to say that acquiring the head coachingjob kept players from leaving. "I know that helped a lot." As for the class as a whole, Breedlove summed it up. "I'm really pleased with our players," Breedlove said. "I think they'll fit into our program," she added.

The 400-meter relay sprinted into first place with time of 3:16.69 "This is a big improvement for the men who finished fourth last year in the outdoor championships," Weaver said. Weaver went on to say that both the men's and women's teams have a wealth of young talent returning next year and should be in good shape to contend for next year's title also. with ASU.

While the coaches were waiting Coach Buzz Peterson said, " Johnathan and worrying about whether Holmes will be able to do that." Butler, who played for his father's would sign with the Apps, Phillips knew team at North Forsyth High School, aver­ all along that Holmes was going to sign "He shook my hand, and I took his word for it," aged 12 points and 10 assists per game to gain a spot on the Winston Salem Journal's "All-Northwest Team." Alexander, a 6'2" guard from Asheville, will join the Mountaineers this fall. "He'll have a chance to play pretty quick," Peterson said. Alexander hit seven threes and scored 41 points in the state champion­ ship game to break the North Carolina State Championship scoring record. How­ ever, his team lost the game. The loss was the second of the year for his team. Alexander's high school, T.C. Robinson, was also the high school that Kansas Coach Roy Williams attended. Davis, who is 6'7" and tips the scales at around 225 pounds, could pro­ vide the Mountaineers with a solid future in the paint. Peterson described Davis as "raw." "His best days as a player are in front of him," Peterson said. Davis averaged 24 points and 10 rebounds per game. Fancher described Davis as a player no one knew about at the begining of the season, but "everyone knew about" at the end of the season. Holmes, whose team finished with a 20-9 record, ended up in Florida by default. His coach at Hiwasse left for Okalusa College in the Florida panhandle and took the team with him. "Coach thought it was a better situation there for the players," Phillips said. "We're excited about Cedrick join­ ing our program," Peterson said. Holmes, who is 6'6" and weighs around 230 pounds, will give the Mountaineers some weight to throw around in the middle next year. "He gives us a strong inside pres­ ence," Peterson said. "If you can't get the height, get the bulk." As for the amount of impact that Holmes willhave on the team and the con­ ference, Fancher said, "I think he'll have just as much impact next year as Marshall had this year." With the loss of McFadden and Tyler, the Mountaineers are looking to the future. "I wish them the best," Phillips said. "But we have to move on. We'll fill the void." �The Appalachian is looking for qualified students to fill the following positions for its new summer edition: Staff Writers istants \ssi To pick up an application come by the CSIL office or the Student Publications office on the second floor of the student union or call 262-6233 �Vachian 23 April 1998 Page 1J itsjrorn^a2e-2 ^vTfhe losses from inju.Actions, Breedlove and t h e t e a m was m for "eason, along wtth the 1 00 recruiting. were honest, "Going into this ' wiew it was going to be a ,e% n in the past.

A win over Davidson started a six-game winning streak. The streak in­ cluded wins over Davidson, West­ ern Carolina (2), Wofford, Chat­ tanooga and UNC-Greensboro. For the 1998-99 season, Breedlove expects improvement. "I think we'll move from the middle third of the southern Conference to the upper third," she stated.

"Affirmative Action doesn't promote W to process complaints about discrimina­ tion. According to Wise, only 42 compa­ nies since 1972 have been barred in viola­ tion of Affimative Action and the Civil Rights Law. "If we get rid of Affirmative Action, how can we prevent discrimination?" Wise asked. Wise said, "We want a country based on merit. But until we break down barriers in discrimination, that will never happen, and Affirmative Action will be necessary." Wise said that breaking down ineq­ uity is a benefit of Affirmative Action, and the gap between the "haves" and "have nots" is growing rapidly. According to Wise, the fact that he has to defend Affirmative Action indicates where the U.S. stands on the basis of equality. "The more we talk about Affirma­ tive Action, we aren't talking about the bigger problems such as 7-10 million jobs being sent to other countries. This is what takes jobs from Americans, but we aren't focused on that," said Wise. The battle for equality is everyone's battle, according to Wise. 'Hust because you didn't cause dis­ crimination doesn't mean you can't take ownership of it. We as a nation must take ownership of it, and if we don't, we are just as guilty as those who started it," Wise said. According to Wise, Affirmative Ac­ tion isn't about paying back the blacks for slavery. "It is about a race and genderconscious effort to go out and find quali­ fied women and people of color and get­ ting them into the institutions they were once left out of." Wise is a graduate of Ttilane Uni­ versity and has been a leader in the AntiApartheid Movement. He has also been the organizer of many anti-racism grassroots organiza­ tions. �Page 2 The The Appalachian and the Hickory Appalachian, present: Thursday, April 23rd Game Starts at 7:00 Gates Open at 6:00 iiMliiiiiii iT j V >, • Hickory Crawdads Delmarva Shorebirds $3.00 Admission with ASU I.D.!

"lose r °pinions expressed in The Appalachian * of it 'H^'vidual columnists and not necessarily e Moss is a sophomore at Marshall University. He was selected by the Minnesota Vikings as the 21st pick in the draft. He has a time of 4.28 in the 40-yard dash, great leaping ability, soft hands and the size to make a great receiver. So what's the problem? Domestic dispute with his girlfriend, marijuana possession while on probation, a battery charge, missed press conferences and playing time at three different universities. It all adds up to a 21-year-old prospect for the NFL. Everyone was wondering why Moss did not go in the top five picks. He was and is hailed as one of the most talented college players in the country. Florida State University Head Coach Bobby Bowden has said that Moss was of the best piayers he had ever seen. FSU was one the schools Moss filtered through before arriving at Marshall. Moss' agent said that because of the numer­ ous off-the-field flags, the receiver lost around three to four million dollars. Moss will soon find out how many zeros he lost in his paycheck when the Vikings negotiate his contract. The Dallas Cowboys passed on Moss when it was their turn to pick because they really don't have the best "image" as a stable team. They don't need more conflicts with the legal system. The Moss situation is indicative of the radical prob­ lems with professional athletics. Teams are now running psychological evaluations for players they have questions about. These tests are becoming more and more neces­ sary because of the numerous players who lose it on and off the field. Latrell Spreewell is a strong example in the long list of athletes who have demonstrated that not every athlete is right in the head. He lashed out in anger against his coach, and though many NBA players were against this behavior, there were a few who thought Spreewell's punishment was too harsh. Does this behavior arise from the immense pressure put on these athletes, or is it just the lifestyle? It could be a combination, but the real meaning might lie in a different area. Many of these athletes coming up from high school and college are very immature and or her own decision." While it is true that we all have the right to choose our beliefs, we also all have the right to express them. All of this political correctness can lead many to questionin their own faith, and it may cause some people to lose faith altogether. Students have class and homework, and they need to go work out and then call mom and eat dinner and studyand sleep. Who has time for God? People with such feelings are certainly not alone. Being in college stresses a lot of people out. My freshman year was hell. I didn't even have time for my­ self. The bad part is that I needed God the most in these times, but I didn't realize it. I knew I needed a man for company, and I needed my girlfriends for support, but I was just trying to fill this big emptiness in my heart. After a year of depression, failing classes and many counseling sessions, I finally realized the only person who could fill the huge void in my life was God. If you are feeling this way, don't give up, because there is hope! No one can make a person want to get back to faith. First, one must decide if he or she wants to go back to being a believer. In my case, I realized that being a Christian was what I really wanted. And luckily, if you decide you want to feel the light and love of God in your life again, you can get support from a lot of people. Contrary to what people might think, Christianity is booming right now on college cam­ puses around the country. Here at Appalachian, there are many organizations to help support growth and development of faith, including Intervarsity, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, New Life Ministries and Campus Crusade. All of these organizations offer support and friendship for anyone seeking to deepen his or her faith. It is a good idea to get involved in a group so you can have accountability and friends who help you stay on the right path. I know how difficult it can be trying to be a Christian college student. I struggle with the issue every day. Last year, I fell flat on my face. But luckily, God sent some really wonderful people into my life to pick me up and help me straighten out my life. Now, every day is a test, and I still mess up a lot. But I know when I am messing up now, and I know where I can go to get help. I could never be a completely righteous person, but struggling and trying to be is all that God ever asks of us. My experiences are with Christianity, but see Athletes on page 4 College students don't have to lose faith Kelly Fisher Columnist College students pack their bags and leave par­ ents, friends and pets to come away to college. And there is one more thing many leave at home: reli­ gious belief. The simple truth is that staying a be­ liever can be a really hard thing in college. There are drugs, sex, parties and tons of people who don't be­ lieve in anything, who may slowly, and not even in­ tentionally, pull a person away from faith. With all the activities of college life, it is easy to lose one's identity. Even more, it is easy to lose key parts of your identity, such as morals, values and religious beliefs. At a university, students are encour­ aged to broaden their horizons, to see the world from different perspectives and, most of all, to be wiling to accept the values of others. This lines everyone up for the big politically correct game show.

Not all are like this, but many coaches com­ plain players do not listen to them and many rebel against the sys­ tem. Some stay in it for the money and the fame. Others are just in it for the love of the game. When coaches and friends see disruptive behavior, should they just look away if the star athlete is scoring in double digits every game? Inappropriate behavior should be addressed immediately before it goes any further. Punish­ ments should be enforced, and possible suspensions from games might have to happen to show the athlete that what they are doing is wrong. More thought needs to go into the care of certain individu­ als to ensure their success not only on the field but in life. With all the money being thrown at superstars nowadays, why not sanction some for counselors or iiaisons who will look after the players? The downfall of sports today has to do with the mental aspect of each player, not the game itself. More emphasis should be placed on the well-being of the players and not just the bank account. www.ford.com dPlace ( C O N D O M I N I U M S 521 Meadowview Drive Boone • 264-9145 SURE YOU MIGHT GET LOST, BUT DON'T WORRY YOU'RE BIODEGRADABLE \ . $400 CASHpurchase or lease' BONUS toward -Hikers are made to do one thingAnything' Bike. ^Boulder.

The Society aids in­ jured and stray animals, finds good adoptive homes for them, and at­ tempts to reduce pet overpopulation by pro­ moting spaying and neu­ tering. Adopting one of these lovable animals can be very rewarding. The cost runs from $40 to $58, de­ pending on how many shots the animal has been given. All the ani­ mals are tested for dis­ eases, and they are pro­ tected from disease while at the shelter. If you are considering adopting a pet, you can go to the shelter and walk the dogs, play with the pup­ pies or go in the cat room and receive lots of feline affection.

He's an America adventurer at heart," Woolbright said. Fisher's background in anthropol­ ogy and his interest in people have al­ lowed him to experience more than the typical traveler. Not only did he trek through the countryside and cityscapes of South America, Fisher was also exposed to the corruption, politics, wars, civil un­ rest, culture and kindness of South America's people. Fisher also encountered four different national languages over the course of his travels, Dutch, French, Span­ ish and Portuguese, in addition to the lesser languages and dialects of South America. One of the highlights of Fisher's trip was getting the opportunity to in­ terview the "Great Train Robber," Ronnie Biggs. To interview Biggs, Fisher was taken on a curvy ride, while blind­ folded, to Biggs' hideaway. Biggs robbed the Glasgow-to-London mail train of $50 million (today's value) in August 1963.

Kostecky worked as a program director and tennis teach­ ing pro at a New Jersey health and racquetball club before beginning his first collegiate coaching job at Centenary College in New Jersey. This inaugural collegiate po­ sition was not in soccer, but in two other sports requiring nets, tennis and volleyball. After serving as Centenary's tennis and volleyball coach for one year, Kostecky decided to return to Pennsylvania and East Stroudsburg University to attend graduate school. He completed his master's degree in physical education and graduated in 1992.

Kostecky has made numerous other contributions to the sport of soccer in addition to his collegiate coaching en­ deavors. After serving as coach of the New Jersey Olympic Development for eight years, Kostecky has performed a similar duty in North Carolina, function­ ing as the state's Olympic Development Team coach for the past three years. On the national soccer scene, Kostecky established and worked as na­ tional chairman for the U.S. Youth Soc­ cer Association of America. The New Jer­ sey native also served as a committee chair for the 1994 World Cup, a job which entailed the coordination of training fa­ cilities for international squads in the New York City vicinity. Kostecky's efforts to benefit the sport of soccer extend into the realm of invention as well. Along with Len Bilous, the Direc­ tor of Soccer Magic Camps, Kostecky cre­ ated vision training, an on-the-field com­ munication system between players. Based on the fact that light trav­ els faster than sound, vision training em­ phasizes that players communicate by seeing and anticipating the moves that • Elected chairman of US World Cup soccer in 199h, Where he coordinated training sites for international teams in the New \/ork Metropolitan Area • Has been the North Carolina State Olympic Develop­ ment Coach for the past three years, held a similar posi­ tion in New Jersey for the eight years prior goal is to turn the program around very quickly," he said. "I would like to build a lot of disci­ pline in the players, pride in their work ethic and also enjoy­ ment," he added. Kostecky went on to say that he wanted to make training and coach­ ing enjoyable. Appalachian's new coach has enjoyed the university and the town of Boone so far. "I've been very pleased with the staff and the admin­ istration here. They've been kind and welcomed me with open arms," he said. The climate in Boone is nothing new to Kostecky. Lo­ cated in the Pocono Mountains of Penn­ sylvania, East Stroudsburg features weather patterns nearly identical to those of Boone. For now, the soccer coach drives between Boone and Davidson, where his wife Donna and two daughters, Katey and Caroline are living, several times each week.

The Blazer was being towed off Brown Street by Ashe Lake Garage. When the wrecker let it down to hook up the straps, the Blazer rolled down the hill into the residence hall, said Assistant Investi­ gator for University Police Sgt. Phil Minton. Minton said that the Blazer was being towed since it was in violation of the traffic code, because the student who owned the car is a freshman. Junior Sammie Lotz owned the Honda CRX that sustained damages in the accident. "I found a message on my answer­ ing machine requesting that I move my car because they were beginning construc­ tion, and five minutes later I heard the crash," Lotz said. The front end of the car was com­ pacted, causing $2,264 in damages, said Lotz. Ashe Lake is buying the cars in­ volved in the accident to avoid reporting the incident to their insurance, said Lotz. "(Ashe Lake) will fix the cars up and sell them for a profit eventually," she said. "My insurance isn't going to be touched," Lotz said.

I am still sometimes unsure as to exactly how it happened, but I rushed, got a bid and P edged. I really didn't have a clue about what to expect. What I found was a group of women that made ASU more of a home away from home. I also ound myself having to defend my decision to go Greek to my parents, my friends back home, my professors and to complete strangers. A few weeks ago, a flier was put up on campus by a group calling itself Kneel. This flier was full of anti-Greek senti­ ments that I have heard again and again, so I have decided to defend myself and the Greek system, one more time. I will not claim to defend every individual who is Greek There are some who are the antithesis of everything I say. I will speak in generalities, mainly about sorority life. But much of what I write applies to the majority of Greeks. There are hundreds of slanders and assump­ tions out there. The most prominent anti-Greek state­ ment that I have heard is that the Greek system is discriminatory. Greek societies DO NOT discriminate based on race, creed or color. I have met many mem­ bers of my sorority at regional meetings, and quite a few of them were African American, Asian American or Hispanic. True, this is not reflected by ASU's Greek community. But in case you haven't noticed, ASU is not a very diverse community. When I rushed, I was never asked what my religion was, what my parents did or what political party I belong to. The primary function of rush is to determine what potential mem­ bers are attempting to join for the wrong reasons (for example, to "meet guys"). I am sure that a lot of organizations wish they could determine which po­ tential members would cause much internal conflict before they were permitted to join. Another argument I hear all the time is that Greeks "pay for their friends." What we actually pay for is nice furniture in our sorority halls, an occa­ sional chance to dress up for a nice, catered event and a magazine. Each member still has to make his or her own friends. This is made easier because of time spent with other members, but the effort is still up to the individual sorority. I have also heard that all Greeks are snobs. I find this ironic. All of my sisters have independent (non-Greek) friends, and many choose to live with independents. To us, it is simply not an issue whether one is Greek or not. I have many non-Greek friends, as well as close friends in other Greek organizations. The irony is in the blatant hypocrisy of those who say that Greeks are snobs. I remember an incident in one class where we were partnered off the first day. I was partnered with a girl whom I got along with very well for a week or so. Then I wore my letters to class. She said to me, "I didn't know you were Greek. I can't believe you would be in that kind of elitist or­ ganization!" She was never friendly with me again. Who was the snob? I also hear that Greeks are a bunch of drunk­ ards. I know many a Greek teetotaler, and I myself haven't touched alcohol in so long I might as well claim the title myself. Besides the personal choice not to drink, all sororities have high standards of public and private behavior. Violating these standards has definite negative consequences. Another gem is that the Greek system is de­ grading to women. This is probably just a lack of historical knowledge. Most sororities were founded from about 1850 to1900, when colleges first opened their doors to women. Women were not welcomed with open arms, and they bonded together to form a solid support network. The first sororities were "lit­ erary societies" (think "Dead Poet's Society"), and they often had better libraries than those of the uni­ versities! The learned language of the time was Greek, so when the societies needed a name, they used Greek letters. Many founding chapters were the first uni versity-acknowledged organizations for women. I am not blind to the fact that sororities have changed since I live with a scary addiction Matt Bielejeski Guest Columnist Hi. My name is Matt Bielejeski—and I'm a ketchupaholic. They say admittance of personal ad­ diction is one of the first steps down the road of re­ covery, so I guess I'm on the right track. It all started when I was a freshman in high school. Whenever I ate one of Mom's home-cooked meals, 1 started to occasionally put a blob of ketchup on my plate, into which I would dip my food. At this point, the addiction hadn't started yet; my therapist tells me I was "experimenting." Maybe so, but in my case, experimentation led to a monkey on my back that just won't go away. At first, it was just steak and hamburgers. Then I expanded my realm of experimentation to include any and all types of meat put on my plate. Ham, roast beef, turkey; what type of animal it came from didn't really matter. They all tasted better with ketchup. My aunt was horrified when I dumped ketchup on my Thanksgiving turkey portion. It was a good thing she didn't see me dip my stuffingHigh school went on, and I graduated. By this point, I would choose my fast-food burger joint based on ketchup pump availability. Packets? Oh no, pack­ ets are the tool of the Devil. You have to open each one, and you get ketchup all over your fingers, not to mention your shirt, if you're not careful. If I was forced to eat at an establishment that only had ketchup packets, I would politely ask for, "A lot of ketchup packets, please." In response to my special request, I received five packets instead of the standard dispensing amount of two or three. For the amount of ketchup that I now use at one sitting, five packets doesn't even begin to cover it. Maybe fifteen or twenty. Yes, it's that bad. My mother continually bought the 64 oz, su­ per-sized Heinz bottle, but I would finish one in a week or so By the end of high school, my appetite for ketchup had grown voraciously. Eggs, french fries, baked potatoes, potato chips, potatoes au gratin, spa­ ghetti; the food didn't matter. Only the luscious, fa­ miliar taste of Heinz mixing with the other food could satisfy my cravings. I needed ketchup in such large amounts be­ cause of the way I used it. After pouring a puddle of the ambrosia-like nectar, I would dip every bite of whatever food I was eating in the pool, thoiuugluy soaking it in ketchup. Sometimes I even needed to tip the bottle towards my plate a second time. By this point, I had tried ketchup on just about every food I had been served, except for The Three. The Three were food items I never dared taste with the ketchup addition: ice cream, yogurt, and cereal. To this day, I have never experimented with these possibilities, nor will the thought ever cross my mind. When I came to ASU in the fall of '96, I was relieved to find that the Food Court was well equipped with a ketchup pump, as was the Gold Room. Cas­ cades, on the other hand, only has packet availabil­ ity, thereby reducing the number of times I go there. By the end of that same fall semester, my first as a college student, I had discovered where to eat and where not to eat. Over the span of spring semester of my fresh­ man year to present day, I am slowly recovering from my ketchup addiction. This past holiday season, I successfully ate both Thanksgiving and Christmas din­ ner without the use of ketchup. My aunt was thrilled. The reason I'm writing about such a bizarre subject is to warn everyone. Ketchup addiction is a very real, very serious problem. The warning signs are not always obvious. I passed off my addiction to friends for years as "just trying something different" or other such excuses. Be aware of your friends' behavior at meals. If they spend 30 seconds in front of the ketchup pump, slowly unfolding the paper cups so they can get more ketchup into each cup, seek help. If you don't help them, it may be too late. There should be support groups 6n campus for those people with similar condiment addictions. If anyone is interested in starting a group therapy ses­ sion, please contact my therapist at 1-800-KETCHUR I hope this column can at least save a few lives bent on the hellish destruction that is ketchup addiction. those times. However, I do find the same support network. My sisters know when I have lost all scho­ lastic motivation, and they get me back on track. They know when I am sick or unhappy, and they do what­ ever they can to cheer me up. The support keeps me going. I am uplifted by my sorority, not degraded. I also hear we are all alike. Whoever came up with this one needs to open his or her eyes. My sis­ ters and I are nothing alike! I have sisters with all interests, personal styles, personalities, beliefs and goals. If you think that we are all alike, I guess you have never bothered to get to know more than one Greek. Take me—I am a liberal democrat. I am an environmentally-minded geography major. 1 love camping, caving, hiking, horticulture, world politics, and Spanish architecture. Is that what you thought a sorority girl was like? Or did you picture a shallow girl with a bow in her ponytail? Before you attack or even generalize about Greeks, think for a minute. Why do you care? We don't care if you are Greek or not. Try to see past the cliches and stereotypes, and get to know a person not for his or her letters—but for who he or she is. And if, like Kneel, you feel a need to attack with fliers and graffiti, get it out of your system. Then move on to a cause that may actually make a differ­ ence to someone in this world. Social Security in serious danger Justin Griffin Sports Editor America's most hated day of the year has passed. The day that most Americans are forced to do a book of unpaid paperwork, and sometimes pay the government after doing the work: this is tax day. With the taxes I've paid this year, I won­ der, where does the money go? The IRS tax booklet divides everything into six categories. Two percent of the money goes to aw enforcement and general government. Eight percent of the cash goes into what's called Physi cal, Human and Community Development, while 15 percent goes to the national debt. Social pro­ grams receive 18 percent. The two largest recipi­ ents are Social Security (33 percent) and national defense (20 percent). It's troubling that the largest portion goes to Social Security. According to the IRS, 33 per­ cent goes to Social Security, but the system is flawed—the government actually spends 37 per cent on the program. In other words, we give the government 33 percent to spend on Social Secu­ rity, and they actually spend 37 percent. From what I have read and from looking at the numbers, I know Social Security is a fund that we pay into that we will never get to see. When say "we," I mean people in the same age group as myself, 30 years and younger. I'm not the only one with this opinion. It is also held by Dorcas R. Hardy, former Commissioner of the Social Security Administration, in her book, "Social Insecurity." It is also agreed upon by no­ table groups like the Social Security Board ofTrust­ ees in their 1996 report. Both Hardy and the Trustees foresee the program's end because of increased retirees anc see Taxes on page ^ �The A Page 4 Tired of Looking?

"I've had a lot of people tell me they really like this class." This success can be at least partially attributed to the nature of the workout. The moves used in box aerobics have been used by many participants to release ag­ gression. "A lot of the girls like it because it's like self-defense," Erdely said. i Bliss BOX AEROBICS THE INSIDE SCOOP • Will I sweat? Yes. Even people in top shape will sweat during this workout. • Will I be sore after this workout? Maybe. This depends on how frequently you work out, and on how hard you work during the class. Your arms may be sore if you use hand weights, and your legs may be stiff after trying some of the kicks. But pain will not be extreme, especially with a little ih ibuprofen. (photo by Nikki Wilson) • Should I use hand weights? According to Leslie, a buff machine, hand weights gave her a better workout. Beth, who has arms of flab, refuses to pick up weights for fear that she will never be able to move again. It's your choice. • Is it better to go to the Life Fitness Centre or to the Quinn? The Life Fitness Centre is convenient in terms of location, but the aerobics room is fairly small and kind of stuffy. The Quinn is bigger and has better ventilation, but while we were there, our class received a few obnoxious yells from male passersby. Either location is good, but we prefer the Quinn. Erdely hopes the non-traditional moves will inspire more men to attend her classes. "Not a lot of guys have taken it, because they think it's still like (tradi­ tional) aerobics," she said. While Erdely is happy with the re­ sponse to box aerobics, she says space has been an issue, especially at the smaller Life Fitness Centre. "With 40 people, we're re­ ally crammed in there," Erdely said. The Quinn Center has had a record *0r Deborah Erdely allows a student to practice her uppercuts (photo by Nikki Wilson). of 57 people in one box aerobics class, and at the Life Fitness Centre, the record num­ ber in attendance was 42. "We have had to limit (classes) to 40 people at the Quinn Center and 25 at the Life Fitness Centre," said Coordinator of University Recreation Wendy Mackorell. According to Mackorell, the class got to be so popular among aerobics buffs that the numbers attending the classes had to be restricted. "We had to move it from the Mount Mitchell Life Fitness Centre to the Quinn Recreation Center," she said. Mackorell is credited with bringing days at 5:15 p.m. A third class is taught at box aerobics classes to ASU. "It started out the Quinn Center on Tuesdays at 5:15 p.m. as a seminar that our aerobics instructors While it doesn't always matter which class took, and it sparked an interest with you attend, participants should get there them," Mackorell said. "We weaved it into early—all classes have limited space, and the aerobics schedule, because it is a lot most are packed.

Carrie Button, a freshman from Hendersonville who also attended her first class this week, said box aerobics classes are good for people who don't go to aerobics on a regular basis.

Mazur also tallied an assist on the play. 'Tis Better to Give' As the game progressed, the Mountaineers became accustomed to the physical style of play and began to give as well as receive. For McGill, the change in style was welcome. "Personally, I liked the hit­ ting," McGill said. "For me, it added an intensity to the game that I've missed," McGill said. McGill went on to say, "Maybe one or two of the guys were a little apprehensive at first. But once they realized that Wake Forest was just here to play hockey, it gave them some confidence and enabled them to play their own game." No one was more determined to give as well as get than Wendell Richards, ASU's senior forward from Albany, N.Y. Richards was knocked out cold with eight minutes remaining in the sec­ ond period when he took a check and flew head-first into the boards just in front of the Mountaineer bench. Richards lay motionless for sev­ eral minutes before coming to, and he sat out the rest of the second period. But he returned for the third pe­ riod and even managed to get in a few licks of his own as the game drew to a frenzied conclusion. "I remember Todd (Weidert) ask­ ntaineers tied Wake Forest 2-2 in ASU's first intercollegiate hockey game last week (photo by ing me if I was alright," Richards said of his unexpected nap. "I just couldn't an­ swer him." In spite of the ringing in his ears, Richards was enthusiastic about playing full-contact hockey. Sitting in front of his locker and rubbing his jaw, he explained, "There's a lot of times in the (Spruce Pine) men's league where you just have to let the guy skate around you. Here, you may not get the best check on a guy, but you can get a stick on him or put a shoulder into him and slow him down." The First Star of the Night Having jumped up 2-0, the Moun­ taineers stood poised for the win. How­ ever, fatigue and a lack of experience even­ tually cost them their lead. ASU gave up the first goal with only two minutes remaining in the sec­ ond. The Mountaineers allowed the Deacons to create a logjam just in front of the ASU crease. In the confusion, the Dea­ cons' forwards were able to slip the puck past Bailey. ASU then gave up the equalizing goal moments into the third period on a breakaway by Wake's right winger. On the play, ASU junior defenseman Bob E. Orr managed to catch the speeding Deacon. But Orr fell over backward when he tried to check his op­ ponent, who then cruised across the goal mouth and flipped the puck past the help­ less Bailey. "Given the way Jon was playing, I guess I should have tripped the guy and made him take his chances on the pen­ alty shot," Orr said. And there was no question goalie Bailey was the star, not only of the Moun­ taineer side, but of the entire game. Throughout the contest, the less experienced Mountaineers had trouble clearing their zone and cutting off shots, especially from the points. As a result, they had to rely heavily on the efforts of Bailey, who scored numerous saves. Although no official statistics were kept, Bailey made approximately 40 saves. "They kept me pretty busy," Bailey said of his performance. Weidert was more generous in his assessment. He said, "You've got to give all the props to Jon. He made key save after key save. There's no question that he kept us in it." Apps defeat VMI 8-5 Win snaps a sixgame slide Robert Holliday Staff Writer The month of April has been anything but restful for Appalachian's baseball team. Over the course of the first 12 days of April, the squad played 10 games, six of which took place on its home field. The Mountaineers (12-21) led Sunday's game at VMI from start to finish. After scoreless fourth, fifth and sixth innings, the Keydets came to life in the bottom of the seventh. VMI's Chris Catanzaro belted a threerun homer to cut the Appalachian lead to one run, 6-5. After a stalemate in the eighth inning, the Apps scored two in the top of the ninth. Will Latnan hit a single past second base to score John Anderson and Andy Cheek. With his team up 8-5, Jason Howell sealed the victory from the mound in the bottom of the inning, retiring the first three Keydets he faced. The Saturday leg of the three-game series with VMI was a less successful venture for Appalachian. The score was knotted at 11 when the game was called because of darkness. One run separated the win­ ner and loser in the second game of the double header as well. After a four-inning scoring drought, VMI's Chris Brooks drove in Jon Yates to put the Keydets up 1-0. Catanazaro fol­ lowed with an two-run double to in­ crease the VMI lead to 3-0. The Mountaineers responded in the top of the sixth with three runs of their own. Steven Crater began the attack with a solo home run to centerfield. Matt Dalton and Chris Behne scored off a Michael Lee single to even the count at three. VMI broke the tie in the bot­ tom of the ninth inning when Yates scored to put the Keydets on top for good, 4-3. Radford handed the Moun­ taineers another loss over Easter Break, this time by the count of 18-8. A seven-run blitzkrieg in the eighth inning put Radford ahead 18-8, a defi­ cit from which the Apps were unable See Baseball on page 9 �The Appalachian 16 Page 8 A . u%ill n r P 'l 19QI Appalachian News appears in each issue of the paper.

This year's recruiting class is made up of fine young men, Moore said. "I think that the first thing that is going to be no­ ticed about this group is that they can all run. The game is so ath­ letic now, and the teams that are able to put people on the field who can run on both sides of the ball seem to be the most successful." With a blend of the old and the new, Appalachian again looks to field a competitive squad and compete for their first Southem Conference title since 1995. "We are coming off con­ secutive 7-4 seasons," Moore added. "We expect to improve upon those two years, and chal­ lenge for the Southern Conference championship.

G. Greer Auditorium. Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski began the discussion by giving an over­ view of the history of affirmative action. He discussed slavery and its even­ tual abolition and emphasized the major court cases concerning affirmative action. Borkowski said that courts have ruled that diversity in the workplace and in schools is a legitimate government con­ cern, but just how these concerns should be addressed is uncertain. "We're in the midst now of the court being a major, major decision maker rela­ tive to the current debate on affirmative action," said Borkowski. According to Borkowski, affirmative action is a complex issue, and blatant criti­ cism of someone's beliefs on affirmative action is counterproductive. Borkowski said furthering a diverse student population is a legitimate concern because it promotes the atmosphere of speculation and creativity.

Sherrie Huffman Staff Writer On May 10-13 in Kansas City, Mis­ souri, the SIFE (Students in Free Enter­ prise) chapter here at Appalachian will compete against schools and universities from around the world at the SIFE Inter­ national Exposition. According to Junior Chad Kauffman, President of SIFE, SIFE is an organization that was started by Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart. Its purpose is to educate students and adults on the workings of the free enterprise system. Kauffman said that the organization is currently in its first year. They have already completed nu­ merous community and campus pro­ grams, such as composing a skit targeted to elementary school children about money management. Kauffman said that SIFE will also sponsor AppSIFE, a week-long lecture se­ ries that will bring in prominent business leaders from all over N.C. to speak to stu­ dents. ASU's SIFE chapter has already been awarded the title of Regional Cham­ pions at the SIFE Regional Competition in Atlanta, GA, according to Kauffman. At the regional level, the group pre­ sented their annual report and their out­ reach programs to a panel of judges. Pamela Formyduval They were evaluated on the effec­ tiveness of their efforts.

April 15 marks the last day for you to file your tax return with the old IRS and kick in your share to the national piggy bank. Now, the thing that troubles me about tax sea­ son is how it really brings out the worst sides of people. Many people cringe at this time of year, be­ cause they think it's time to get screwed by the gov­ ernment. Most of these people are so cheap, they'll spend hours slaving over receipts to figure out how they can write off some $10 bar tab as a business expense. If they could, these people would just rather eliminate taxes altogether. They think that nothing would make them happier than not having to give up any of their precious money to (gasp!) other people. I have a solution for all you cheapskates out there who are so greedy that you'd rather live in a place without taxes. Why don't you move to Antarc­ tica? There are no taxes and, better yet, no govern­ ment there. You could build a nice big house, have all the land you want and, best of all, have no one messing with your money. You'd also have no roads, no parks, no hospi­ tals, no schools and no defense. Also, no one would probably come with you, because who really wants to live in Antarctica? But you'd have all your money. And I'm sure you'd be really happy. In all seriousness, though, anyone who thinks that we could have a better country without taxes is fooling themselves. This country and our society would not survive if we all didn't pitch in to make it a society. When I hear people laugh and talk about how smart they are because they figured out how they could get a bigger return or pay less, I have to won­ der just how shallow these people really are. When you screw the government out of money, you re screwing yourself, your family and everyone else you don't seem to care about. You screw yourself and oth­ ers out of jobs and services. And don't go crying that worn-out song about how much we're already taxed by the state and local government. Because compared to other industrial­ ized, first-world countries, the United States has about the lowest tax rates in the world. It's no won­ der that we're lagging so far behind in our education standards; people care more about their cash than they care about their kids. Another bad excuse for weaseling out of pay­ ing your taxes is saying you don't agree with how our government spends our money. Well, like most people, I don't agree with spending billions of dol­ lars to build nuclear weapons or to create new dis­ eases. But there are enough good things our govern­ ment does with our money to justify taxation. Other people will just say it's human nature to be greedy and to want to avoid paying taxes. These are the same people who say the world should be taken for what it is, and then they throw away some aluminum beer cans rather than make the nfodest effort of walking to the recycling bin. Let me make just one more point. The world and our country are what we (you and I and every­ one else) make of it. That old conservative battle cry about our inability to enact change is one of the most disgusting mottos that has ever been uttered. If a bunch of British Colonists had not had the guts to stand up for themselves back in 1776, our world never would have become what it is now. The same thing goes for women and African-Americans in the 19th and early 20th centuries who had to be­ lieve that they could make seemingly impossible changes before they were given the basic right to vote. We can solve today's problems of alcoholism, pollution, lagging education, class division, illiteracy and homelessness. All it takes is a little vision and the willingness to contribute—in even the most mod­ est ways, such as paying taxes.

Among the stars that will J are Ashton Robinson and O'Qumn. However great the losses, the team will recover. Improvement has been the word most often used when describ­ ing lirst-year Coach Ben Popoola and his squad. The baseball team has compiled an 11-16 overall record with a 5-9 mark in the Southern Conference. Over the week­ end, the squad took one out of two games against Wofford, defeating the Terriers 1211 in one game and losing 17-13 in the other game. The difference for ASU in the first game of the series with Wofford was Stephen Crater's three-run, two-out double in the bottom of the ninth inning. ASU went into the inning trailing the Ter­ riers 11-9. While most track meets aren't scored anymore, the men's and women's ASU track teams defeated teams from larger schools over the weekend at Clemson. The women came in fourth place out of six schools, and the men placed sixth out of seven teams. At other meets, the Apps have had good individual show­ ings thus far in the season. • m mm m HI lift *TTflfHr )ttf"j li »fT»?3 f {iipii ^0wM •»4i :if... .tft.^ r<«» >• - 5 « ! i l r l l ! • .

The car, a 1993 Honda Accord trav­ eling north on Blowing Rock Road, lost control and veered across three lanes of traffic, crashing into the base of a utility pole, breaking it in two. According to the accident report from Boone Police Department, John David Hampton, 26, of Boone was driv­ ing in the "north bound lanes when the vehicle turned to the left going into the turn lane and then into the south bound lanes." The car then hit the curb and ran onto the sidewalk. It struck a sign in the parking lot of Red Carpet Inn and then a wooden fence. It careened off the wall and collided into the utility pole, the report said. Hampton claims that the left front tire went flat and caused the accident, but according to Sergeant Tom Redmond of the Boone Police "the evidence does not show any problems to the car prior to the impact." "(The Boone Police Department) has suspicions of the causes, but no facts," Redmond said. According to Hampton, he has a history of seizures, the last one oc­ curring at age 19. Hampton's car sustained $10,000 of damage, the utility pole had $4,000 of damage and the Red Carpet Inn incurred $250. Kevin Johnson, visiting Boone on business, witnessed the accident from the Red Carpet Inn. "He knocked the transformer down, and the lights and phones went down immediately," Johnson said. The manager of Bric-a-Bracs, Ellen Frazier, made the emergencycall after see­ ing the accident. "The police came first, but (all emergency crews) came within about three to four minutes," Frazier said. The transformer bank that Hamp­ ton struck contained 12,470 volts of elec­ tricity, said the General Manager of New River Light and Power, Don Austin. The power went off at 9:27 p.m. and was restored by approximately 10:15 p.m., said Austin. "We had to isolate the transformer bank, remove the old pile and transform­ ers and then string up new power lines," said Austin. The Red Carpet Inn was reenergized at approximately 2:30 a.m. and was the last to regain power, Austin said. Hampton was issued a citation for failure to reduce speed before colliding with a fixed object.

The original plans consisted of a $5.6 million budget that would build a new deck in front of the Raley Hall busi­ ness building. The deck would be able to house around 500 cars, about 300 more than the present space allows. However, several factors will post­ pone construction. Architects recendy discovered that the rock bed under the soil was thicker than expected, sending the cost up. However, according to Helm, the unexpected ground problem was not the largest obstacle. "The architects were overly optimis­ tic," Helm said. In short, the project could not have been completed within the proposed bud­ get, Helm said. However, the university is making additional plans to alleviate parking con­ gestion. These plans include the purchasing of an old tobacco warehouse off of Rivers Street. This purchase will be used to pro­ vide additional parking spaces. Helm said that the proposed site can provide more spaces than the parking deck; however it is further from campus. "We do not know that we will not still build a deck," Helm said. "But we have no plans at this time." The university is continuing in their home improvement efforts with several upcoming construction projects. The proposed residence hall would house the Living and Learning Center of Watauga College. This residence hall may take the place of the existing Chancellor's home. However, no plans have been made regarding the relocation of the Chancel­ lor, Helm said. Other university purchases include a Methodist church, which will be used as a visual arts center. However, Helm said that no plans have been finalized. dillMi* Urinative Action Panel l°'n students, faculty and staff krs discussion aDour the ruIJT '"a ""v-ussiun about rne fuaffirmative action on and off The rgA..

Greer ^rii 'urn. in Touch The King Street site that has been proposed as a new parking lot (photo by Ocean Matthews) Darin Glass Editor-in-Chief The warm weather this past week has invited dogs out onto Sanford Mall creating a new patrol position for the Ap­ palachian State University Police. Capt. Larry Foster of University Po­ lice has fielded several complaints from faculty on campus about wandering dogs around the mall. A patrol officer has been assigned to the Sanford Mall Monday-Friday from 11 a.m to 2 p.m. The patrol officer will be enforcing a university and state law that does not allow animals to be tied to trees or posts. The law also states animals have to be on leashes and to have tags stating their vac­ cinations. "We have no problem with dogs on Sanford Mall. They just cannot be left to run loose," said Foster. Foster is concerned with bystand­ ers who might be injured. He said some of the complaints have centered around children who had been scared by growl­ ing dogs. No one has been issued a citation for not leashing or tieing up their dog. If a student is written up, they will have to go before the judicial board, said Foster. Unattended dogs will have to be reported to the animal control center, who will be called in to pick up the stay dogs. The patrol officer position is taking away manpower that could be used in a more useful area, said Foster. "We are just enforcing a university law from 1978 that some students are unaware of," said Foster. �The Appalachian The Appalachian Fairness, Accuracy and Public Service since 1934 «fr o II VvJr W c i ff A j j t* It / I/ w // & # ft ft ft ft o i§>d)ool of STournaltStn n o ii ii II O II v; «Y ii ii Jiere are a few of the courses that well be offering next semester JRN 3850*.

"The money we would have used to purchase those resources can be allocated elsewhere." To maintain program secu­ rity, students and faculty may only access N.C. Live through a univer­ sity terminal. Reichel cited this as a draw­ back, but said the policy may change in the future. A second program, LexisNexis Academic Universe, stands as an excellent source of govern­ mental and financial information, said Reichel. The program should be well-received in the university community. "We have heard from several departments, including business and political science, that we need this service," Reichel said. "We just couldn't afford it." The library received 10 per­ cent of the $3.4 million equity grant received by ASU last year, and Lexis-Nexis Academic Uni­ verse was obtained with these funds, said Reichel. Costs were alleviated through a subscription with the Southeastern Library Network, which works with libraries state­ wide. According to Reference Li­ brarian John Boyd, the service is charged on a per-student basis, and sharing a subscription with other libraries allowed Belk Li­ brary to cut costs from $4 to $2 per student. Lexis-Nexis Academic Uni­ verse should be available this week, Boyd said. The N.C. Live network should be operational by the end of April. ultural presentation on Mexico The Shining Shades jgram is sponsed by the ^cultural Committee, ich is a part of the Departrt of Housing and Resi- I ) Life.

Yet, the entertainment and artistic value of none provided me with any reason to com­ plain. The hard work and dedication of Martin Jones, the British pianist who spent roughly two years learn­ ing his program, and the members of the Appala­ chian Woodwind Chamber Music ensemble together impressed me to no end this week with their stun­ ning and captivating renditions of classical and mod­ ern works. Unfortunately, these otherwise pristine evenings of professional entertainment were marred by the decidedly coarse and ignominious behavior of a small percentage of the attending audience. Be­ fore I relate these minor but nevertheless regrettable incidents, please bear in mind that I make no claim to be any sort of connoisseur of concert attendance; I have only rudimentary knowledge of the music per­ formed; and I confess I only know to applaud when others do so. But what I do know is that there are certain acceptable behaviors in a concert hall that should be observed for the sake of respect, if nothing else. The incident that most strikes me as worthy of reproach is that which occurred at the performance of an oboe soloist and piano accompaniment. I was sitting with my girlfriend when, near the end of the performance, I witnessed a tremendous spectacle. For several minutes, I had been eyeing a pair of rather grubby males engaging in all sorts of writhing con­ glomerations in their seats, the purpose of which was apparently to ease the inimitable torture of listening to classical music. But now I saw, as I glanced anew upon these two visions of unspeakable agony, that they had poised themselves with perfect, tensed readi­ ness at the edges of their seats; eyes bulging and sweat popping off their foreheads in anticipation, fu­ riously praying for that final, glorious moment when the music would end and they would be free to roam the hillsides in search of other soiled miscreants. Suddenly, as the last note resounded in the acousti­ cally sensitive concert hall, and even before the first pair of hands had met in praise of the breathless oboe player, the two, perhaps powered by a potent combi­ nation of intense musical malice, boredom, and mon­ strous doses of amphetamines, rocketed out of the music hall at such a vociferous speed that the very fabric of space and time (not to mention the sound barrier) was violently sheared in twain, and the earth itself ceased to rotate on its axis for an indetermi­ nate amount of time. Needless to say, I was aghast. After the earth began to rotate again (much to our relief), the audience, sans the holders of the new world land speed record, commenced with rounds of applause, the presence of which confounded me, because I had assumed that other members of the audience might have noticed the rending of the ma­ terial of existence and the resulting black hole in the lobby. But my girlfriend and I were quite alone in the most alarming observation of our young lives. We glanced at each other nervously, certain that we had just witnessed the single most important catalyst in the coming of the end of the world, when the other audience members blithely filed out of the hall,, oblivious to the harrowing spectacle that had just transpired. And we stood, perplexed and stunned, as together we contemplated the full meaning of what we had seen. We silently agreed never to speak of the incident again, lest the powers that be decide to avenge the sight that no mortal should ever wit­ ness. And we would have taken that terrible secret to the grave—except for this warmng. You see, besides the disheartening display of disrespect I saw that night, I have seen things that no man should ever have to see, not in the most heinous of war camps, not in the darkest, bloodiest regions of the nether world, not even in (gasp) a concert. I have seen men and women, children and adults, pygmies and people stricken with elephan­ tiasis (well, maybe not) who have defied the un­ written guidelines of good taste by talking, crack­ ling cellophane, and otherwise acting disrespectfully to the performers who have worked so hard to bring us quality music in order to impart some culture into our lives. Besides an emergency such as the one de­ scribed above, there is really no reason to act in an inappropriate manner in a concert hall, but there are many reasons to act in a way that would en­ courage a performer, or performers, to return to Ap­ palachian State University. Attending a concert shouldn't be an exercise in restraining one's worst habits; rather, it should be a way to unwind and listen to some really fine musical productions. No one likes all the music, and everyone gets bored after the first 30 minutes, but see Sit Still on page 6 Experience ASU's idiosyncracies This campus is full of freak-of-nature type oddi­ ties and mutations. For example, who's the fool who decided to make the bell tower play Christmas car­ ols every hour, on the hour, starting at 8 a.m.? Liv­ Matt Bielejeski ing in East Hall, I am awakened regularly by those Columnist damn bells ringing in my ears, reminding me how litde sleep I'm getting (or trying to get). When I make it through another hellacious, stress-filled week and attempt to get some muchneeded shut-eye, I am still bonged awake by those You know, I always thought I knew right from freakin' bells. Who do they have up there to ring the bells—some mentally ill, Quasimodo-impersonating left. When I first walked into our oh-so-prestigious college student who went insane during exams ? I'm Carol Grotnes Belk library last year, I was a bit con­ starting to be convinced that the constant bell-ring­ fused. The doors to enter the library were on the left ing is a plot by the administration to get more people side, and the doors to exit from the library were on to live off-campus. They've got to come up with some the right side. In my 20 years of doorway experi­ way to house more freshmen and people returning ence, I have always experienced right-side entryway to on-campus living. Was the entire campus designed for dwarves, dominance. That seems to be the way it is for just about everything these days. You walk on the right midgets and Smurfs? Almost every single outside side of the road, you keep to the right when walking handrail by the multitudes of stairs we have here on in malls, and you drive on the right side of the road campus is, yet again, at about crotch level. Seems to me like it was the same person who designed the (don't try this in Europe). The left-side dominance in the library doesn't library. Having outside stair railings that low may be end when you enter. After swinging through the glass doors, you're faced with one of those crotch-high great for the skateboarders, but it is definitely not swinging bars on which to hurt yourself.

If, by some freak occurrence, you should mis­ pery paths and steps to class. And how about those poor, luckless souls on takenly enter or exit the metal crotch-smacker con­ traption on the wrong side, it will lock up and make crutches? I'm just waiting for someone to fall and a horrendous noise. The desk attendant will politely break a leg (or other leg) because the handrail was ask you to exit through the correct side, while asking too low and inefficient. How many ways can you themselves how you ever made it through the ad­ say, "ASU college student (fill in your name here) vs. Appalachian State University?" missions process. Speaking of nasty weather, how about all that flooding we had? The Convocation Center construc­ tion site formed a new Lake Watauga. People were canoeing where we'll play basketball against UNCCH in 2000—or will that turn out to be water polo? Seems to me that investing $30 million of the university's money in a building that can turn into an aquarium any time Mother Nature gets feisty is, well, stupid as hell. Next time we need a construc­ tion area, are we going to break ground in the middle of the New River? Does anyone have a clue what they're build­ ing to the left of the Thomas building? All I've seen so far is ground clearing and a bunch of guys it\hard hats standing around looking at dirt. Do we really need one more construction site? I thought the new science building and the Crapvocation Center were quite enough on our ever-growing plate of construc­ tion endeavors. Hey kids, maybe wq'll get a parking deck for Christmas! If you believe that, I've got some land in Antarctica to sell you. Maybe the adminis­ tration finally listened to the students and decided to build a new library. Think about it; what a great location! Since the site is conveniently located way the hell away from everything else, doing research in the library would give two benefits in one. First, you would burn an obscene amount of calories hik­ ing all the way there. Second, you could concentrate on your studies and research while sweat drips onto your notes. Finally, you just gotta love the new speed-pla­ teau just installed on Locust Street right next to Coffey Hall. I see so many cars slammed from fender to fender going over that monstrosity. Who knows, maybe it'll stop a few Traffic Nazis from being run over... Letters to the Editor Darin Glass is the mack dad To the Editor: I am writing to follow up on Darin Glass review of Amistad in the March 26 issue of The Appalachian. I would like to applaud Stephen Spielberg and everyone involved in the making of Amistad for making one of the greatest films of last year. I would also like to bring to the public's attention to the noticiable lack of the film's presence at this year's Academy Awards. Though Anthony Hopkins did receive a welldeserved Best Supporting Actor nomination, I am appalled at the Academy's oversight of this incred­ ible film. Perhaps Spike Lee's gruff and angry de­ meanor at this year's awards show was due to the lack of minority representation in most of the awards categories this year. I am appalled that this powerful film did not even earn a nomination for Best Picture or Best Director. That Djimon Hounsou's only role at this year's Oscars was the presentation of Best Docu­ mentary is a travesty. It is widely known that the nomination and awards process is rife with political maneuvering, and no matter how much it is denied, racism aimed at Blacks, Jews and Asians is still rampant in the film industry. The conspicuous and surprising absence of Hounsou and Pam Grier in the Academy Awards, with Spike Lee receiving only a compulsory nod for his documentary, "Four Little Girls," shows that the Acad­ emy has some work to do. Alex Howard khl4586@appstate.edu Students love art too To the Editor: I am pleased to report that the fine arts are alive and well in Boone! Last week's performance of To Kill a Mocking­ bird marked the final event of the 1997-98 Perform­ ing Arts Series at Appalachian State University, which also featured memorable performances by The Ca­ nadian Brass, The Italian National Opera, Vienna Choir Boys, The Peking Acrobats, The Pajama Game (a co-production of Appalachian's School of Music and Dept. of Theatre and Dance) and Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, to name just a few. These performances were attended by 13,983 people, representing a whopping 49 percent increase in ticket sales over our previous season. It is also significant to note that our student attendance has increased substantially. In this age of skepticism about young people's interest in the fine arts, it is noteworthy that over 46 percent of till tickets sold to the series were purchased by Appalachian stu­ dents. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the campus community for its overwhelming support of Appalachian's Performing Arts Series. We are for­ tunate to live in a community which values the arts, and are deeply gratified by the campus' participa­ tion and "vote of confidence" at the box office. H.

GSAS awards about $7,000 dollars in research and travel grants each year and is working hard to expand these funds through development ef­ forts. This and other goals are more difficult to accomplish when participation is curtailed by poor communication ability. Interested graduate students have difficulty contacting GSAS because it has no visible office to visit, no phone line to contact and no e-mail address to write to. Many off-campus graduate students have no point of contact with GSA and, as a result, are ex­ cluded from the organization. These simple allocations would generate more involvement from the graduate student body and therefore increase the effectiveness of the organization. The current meeting ar­ rangements of GSAS officers is in­ efficient and unacceptable. GSAS holds monthly meetings, and the executive council holds bi-monthly meetings at various locations. In the interim, department senators often have a hard time locating members of the executive council in order to discuss business. A central office will elimi­ nate confusion about meeting lo­ cations and facilitate access to the executive council. The decentral­ ized state of graduate affairs, af­ fected by poor communication oft among graduate students, severs their link to administrative action. Improved networking among graduate students can only give them a greater voice in the univer­ sity administration. Graduate students also need this office to further organize and strengthen their efforts to ensure equitable treatment within the university. Appalachian's Student Bill of Rights, while explicidy re­ ferring to undergraduates, fails even to mention graduate stu­ dents, inferring that their rights are not protected at this university. Furthermore, GSAS needs this office to discuss issues such as the distribution of tuition waivers: the athletics program has 80 outof-state tuition waivers, while the graduate school only has 26. In addition, GSAS representatives need a quiet, private office in or­ der to discuss the individual con­ cerns of graduate students, to dis­ cuss the altering of the organization's constitution, and to plan future fund-raising efforts which will increase the amount of money awarded as grants. The of­ fice would also serve as a place to work on campus projects. Collec­ tion for the GSAS food drive has been made difficult because there is no central location to place the foodstuffs. GSAS also has many respon­ sibilities and connections that ex­ tend outside of the university.

The most pressing issue has been the inability of this state to supply graduate teaching assistants with state health insurance. The joint graduate organizations have been petitioning the state legislature and governor for a change, and the executive council has struggled to maintain current communication on these levels. GSAS needs an office in or­ der to become more intimately in­ volved with such projects. GSAS should also present a professional image to these people outside of our university, as well as to those within, and the lack of a central location or phone number does not do so. Graduate students represent an important part of this campus, and we are being ignored and slighted. Graduates also represent Appalachian State in the profes­ sional world, and lasting connec­ tions between student and univer­ sity can onlyform through involve­ ment with and fair representation in that university. The allocation of office space would benefit the organized graduate student body and en­ hance their relationship with the university. There is no valid rea­ son to deny GSAS the availability of office space while other student organizations already enjoy this privilege. Sit still I -I I I I I I I I I 268-0555 | 168 HARDIN ST.

What could possibly draw upon such a diverse crosssection of our society and not be something incredibly heinous like America's Funniest Home Videos? One of the most important factors in pro wrestling's recent rise in popularity is both federations' attempts to bring board-room squabbles and contract negotiations to the forefront. At times, you can catch a glimmer of the very real animosity that often exists between em­ ployee and employer. Sometimes it can get very nasty, both verbally and physically. "It's mirroring society (more)," says Baucom. "(Take WWF champion) Steve Austin attacking the owner of the WWF. It's just like Latrell Spreewell attacking the coach. It shows a lack of respect for authority." "The only difference is that a lot of people look down on Spreewell. In this case, everyone is looking up to Austin," he says.

"No man on Earth could take that much beating and jump back up and cheer," says Baucom. Granted, most of the material we see on television is rehearsed and choreographed, but, when you have guys landing on concrete floors and steel safety barricades head first and others being thrown a winning combination.

A two-run inning for Davidson in the top of the seventh cut the Mountain­ eer lead to five runs at 9-4.

In the inaugural series of the new baseball facility the Apps dropped two games to Davidson Saturday before winning the third on Sunday afternoon. The Mountaineers put runs on the board early in Sunday's contest. Steven Crater hit an RBI single in the bottom of the first inning to drive in Andy Cheek.

This fact is what prompted him to close the road, Marsh said. "(Appalachian) won't pay for the repairs and neither will the Town of Boone," said Marsh. "The barricade is easy to take down," said Marsh. "When someone claims responsibility, we'll be happy to take it down." "It's been our privilege to allow the students to use the streets and we want to continue it." University representatives were unavailable for comment. Neither Appalachian State Univer­ sity nor the town of Boone will accept responsibility for the land on which Lo­ cust Street lies, forcing the closing of one entrance to the university. During the storm that occured on March 20, a piece of land close to a section of Lo­ cust Street was washed away, thereby increasing liability. According to James Marsh of Hagaman Marsh Apartments, an at­ torney and an engi­ neer advised that the street must be closed because no one claims respon­ sibility for the ero­ sion.

Dr. Timothy Ludwig, assistant psy­ chology professor, has headed a research team that has collaborated with local branches of major pizza delivery chains to improve the safe driving practices of their delivery drivers. The main focus of Ludwig's research has been turn signal usage. According to Ludwig, the average Boone driver uses his or her turn signal 40 percent of the time. The baseline for Ludwig's research showed that drivers from Pizza Hut, Papa John's and Domino's used their turn sig­ nals the same percentage or less than the average Boone driver at the beginning of the research. Ludwig said there were multiple reasons for the research, citing the pizza chains' wishes to ensure the safety of their drivers. Ludwig's staff of graduate and undergraduate students worked with a different chain every semester. The work is funded by a division of the Centers for Disease Control called the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), said Ludwig. According to Ludwig, "Over the past years, the deliverers have engaged in a project every semester focusing on goal setting and feedback to improve their driv­ ing behaviors." He said that the delivery drivers were given feedback by other drivers in reference to their driving practices. Ludwig said that there are many variables that affect delivery driver safety. Each store employs an average of 16 driv­ ers who make 12 deliveries a night, said Ludwig. Insurance companies tend to charge a higher rate, as the majority of the deliv­ erers are males, ages 18 to 24 years old, who spend the most time in traffic during peak traffic hours and late at night when "partiers" are out, Ludwig said. According to those statistics, deliv­ ery drivers are four times more likely to have traffic accidents than the average driver. The data of the research show great increases in safe driving practices by the delivery drivers. Pizza Hut drivers used their turn signals an average of 40 percent of the time when their research started in the Fall 1997 semester. According to the results, they im­ proved their turn signal usage by100 per­ cent during the intervention by the re­ search team, said Ludwig. Papa John's started at 35 percent usage and ended at 80 percent. Papa John's also did an intervention on com­ plete stopping and increased their num­ bers from 95 percent to 65 percent. Domino's increased its drivers' us­ age of turn signals from 20 percent to 80 percent. While these numbers are impres­ sive, a shift runner at Papa John's isn't so sure that the effect of the interventions by Ludwig's team have been long-lasting. As well as being a shift runner for Papa John's, Craig Rifkin was also the main data collector for some of Ludwig's research. While he did not deny the validity of the numbers in the research, he cited the rewards that the drivers would receive each semester, such as free oil changes, as the motivation for their compliance with the studies and their efforts to in­ crease their turn signal usage. Rifkin said that when the study stopped at Papa John's, there was no fur­ ther motivation to pay any attention to safe driving practices the drivers would usually employ. "Very few drivers do it unless they know they can get something out of it," he said. �!

We're against people spreading them." - General Augusto Pinochet What month is this, anyway? Heritage months promote stereotypes, not achievements Justin Bell Columnist "It's the 1990s." We are wiser than we were in the 1980s. Cooler than we were in the 1970s. Smarter than we were in the 1960s. More enlightened than we were in the 1950s. It's a worn-out term, but it just won't go away: politically correct. Well, forgive me, but here goes. Apparently it's women's history month. There are bulletin boards in every residence hall that tell of important women in history. Well, no, that should be rephrased. There are bulletin boards in every resi­ dence hall that tell of insignificant people in history who happened to have had vaginas. The standards for being an important woman in history are much lower than the standards for being an important man. On these bulletin boards, we see Katherine Hepburn. She acted; that's it. That just won't cut it for a man. We have to do something important to get into his­ tory books. Golda Meier is not to be remembered as a good prime minister; she is to be remembered as a female prime minister. Evelyn Ashford could run re­ ally damn fast. Wow! Things really changed after that. Mary Cassatt liked to paint. If there was a male his­ tory month, Picasso wouldn't have made the list, because men can do better than painters. We have leaders, explorers and saviors. Women did play important roles in history, and continue to do so. But their roles were not the same as the roles played by men, and trying to compare these roles is a moronic waste of time. Maybe there is no female equivalent to Jesus. But there is no fe­ male equivalent to Hitler either. Throughout history I've been taught that men destroy and women cre­ ate. It looks to me like the joke is on men. Women took the more important role in history. No, they never invaded half as many countries, and I guess they never did that much with government either. They did some­ thing better. They set an ex­ (( ample. It doesn't ward. I am sure there are millions of women who are entirely capable of leading anyone and anything and could probably do it better than a lot men could, but it isn't because they are women. It is because they are strong and wise. Let's see people as people. We're all in this together. We just got out of February, the month that celebrates racism in America. Can't we have a break? Does every month have to be about gays, women, blacks, midgets, various minorities, or whatever an­ noying group that can thrust their worthless cause onto an inno­ cent calendar? I would be of­ fended and ashamed if there were a month about important penises in history. Iwould be hor­ ribly embar­ rassed if there were a white history month, and don't give me that crap about the other 11 months being for white people. I don't do anything in March that I don't do in February. We are all human beings. We have a common history together, and if we can stop pointing out our differences, we just might have a common future together. Show me people in history not based on their genitals, not based on their skin, but based on their significance. When we segregate history and When we segregate history, we create conflict." look that good on paper, but nothing ever does. So here's my idea: forget history. Let's stop playing the an­ cient fingerpointing game, and maybe then we'll see a little progress. I saw a sign the other day for a female leader­ ship conference. That has to be the most pathetic thing I've heard of in years. Real leaders don't go to conferences to find out how to assert themselves. They are bigger than that. Leading people isn't some­ thing that can be learned in a conference. And if your self-image is based on what's between your legs, you are a fool, not a leader.

Let's go to parties and bars and clubs and get trashed! Let's call up the 21-year-olds we know to get us alcohol and spend money we don't have. Please tell me, where is the fun in all this? Ev­ ery weekend, I go to parties, and I see my fellow students getting drunk. Sometimes people offer me a beer, andIhave to tell themI don't drink. Usually the first response is, "Wow!" After the wow,Iget asked whyI don't drink. I answer with the simple truth: I don't need to get drunk to have fun. Next they get defensive and say they don't need to drink to have fun either. So what's with the beer in your hand— just trying to fit in? I hear the lamest excuses for drinking whenI actually sit down and talk to people at parties. Let me just bust 'em out for you. "I cannot dance until I am drunk." Fool, with the percentages here at Appalachian, chances are you are white, and you can't dance anyway! Getting drunk makes you lose more rhythm, and you don't have a clue how bad you look when you are drinking. On the other hand, if you stay sober, you can come to grips with the fact that you are a hideous dancer. This means that you can not only get over it and go bust a move, but you can watch all the drunk people act as stupidly as you used to. "I can be myself whenI am drunk, you know, come out of my shell and be social." If you wanna know how stupid you are, go say that to yourself in the mirror. Basically, you are telling me you are em­ barrassed of who you are and too chicken to go meet people unless you are drunk. If you need a drug to feel comfortable with who you are, get some help. If you need a drug to go talk to attractive people you are interested in, you don't deserve a chance to be with them. "I just do it because it is fun." The last and most widely accepted excuse covers a lot of territory. Exactly which part of the evening were you referring to when you said "It was fun?" Perhaps it was the part when you spent $15 to buy some beer. Fun! Per­ haps it was the part when you had to try and find a ride to the party. Fun! Or maybe it was that part when you were dancing with that ugly person or were too drunk to know you were kissing someone you won't ever want to see again. How about the 16 times you waited in line to pee? Maybe you were referring to the time you puked your brains out. Or couldit be that you thought tripping down the driveway to get to your car was fun? Iknow! The best part about getting wasted last weekend was when you got separated from your friends and some guy took you out into the woods and raped you. The only fun you ever had that could top that one was when you died in a car wreck be­ cause your designated driver wasn't so sober. No, I don't think drinking looks so fun anymore. People don't die every weekend in drinking related accidents here at App, but it only takes one weekend out of the whole year for you to be dead. Really, you may never die because of drinking, but the bad decisions you make while intoxicated can see Beer on page 4 Staff Perspectives Question: This week, who will be revealed as Cartman's dad?

You know how you associate a vari­ ety of experiences and memories with a song you grew up with...say, "Could've Been So Beautiful" by Tiffany? Well, that's how I feel about each of my works. It's a section of my life up until the creation of that work. same things Ihad in mind or the same things I felt upon doing it myself. I almost feel silly saying, "I agree with you. You're 'see­ ing' what I want you to see." It seems so simple to say that. Q. Who's your favorite artist? A. I'm really inspired by boy. The first time at "testing the waters," like a one-night stand or college concerns of the mixed company of bar scenes and so forth. Picasso. He had so many styles. He could com­ mand the medium and was very confident in ev­ erything he put his hands on. He did it all, and he did it well. He was very well-rounded. Q. What have you taken from his work and incor­ porated into your own style? A. I seem to recall a re­ search paper I did in high school where he said something about taking his whole life to get back to drawing like a child. In some of his later work you can see that. It looks very child-like. But, it's more of a philosophy. Iinterpret it to mean that he tries to act like a child. He tries to be innocent. He tries to render what he sees. He's not thinking, just do­ ing. WhenI see a flower,I try to render that flower. It could be abstract, it could be realistic, but it's that flower....pure, honest, like a child. Q. What piece in Les' Space means the most to you? A. "The First and Last thinking" on mixed media appears in Caison's exibit in Looking a"ery (photo by Elizabeth Durks). Time" is a painting of a bar scene. I feel very strongly about this piece because a lot of colleagues and friends have expressed their respect for the piece, saying that they really re­ late to it. To me, I guess that's like winning an Os­ car! Ilike to hear what people have to say about my work, but then immedi­ ately after Ihear it, I feel silly, because a lot of times when they respond to it, they are saying a lot of the Q. So, what's it about? A. It's from the observations of a college Q. How did you come up with the title "Les' Space?" A. The whole show concerns the spatial relationships within a two-di­ mensional format. In all of these pieces, I've toyed with how form takes up space. These are very diverse and innovative approaches. Some of it has to do with lit­ eral interpretations from the world. Others happen to be what I've constructed in my head. I thought it would be appropriate to entide the show this way. So it's the space in my head, but it's also relation­ ships of visual space. all in and experience the work in gallery context," says Caison. Les would especially like to thank Gallery Director Steve Severt, several art professors (you know who you are), friends and, of course, Mom and Pops. "Les' Space" will be featured at the gallery until April 10. The hours of the gallery are Monday- Friday 8 a.m.-lO p.m. and Saturday-Sunday10 a.m.-lO p.m. A coffee mug, the sun beaming in through the window, thoughts of friends past. This is what I see when looking at "Someday We'll Have Coffee." What will you see? Caison's show has re­ ceived a great response. Even as we talked, several people came up to express their thoughts on the show. "Inspir­ ing," "awesome," "thoughtprovoking," "truly original" and "fresh" were but a few of the favorable comments. What does Les think about all of this? Well, he thinks it is wonderful.

The Center will house classrooms for the Leisure Sciences department. The arena portion of the center will seat approximately 8,500 for athletic events and slightly more for concerts and special events. 1 All the other teams in the Southern Conference have nicer, newer «. Appalachian is the only school with a multi-purpose gym. "Right Uihat we're playing in is probably at the bottom," Peterson said, wiring Varsity Gym to other arenas in the conference. I "We're a little bit behind," Peterson said. Perhaps one of the more confusing aspects of the future building pre it's actually going to sit. "Until the construction starts, it's hard hsmeone to envision, because they're still driving down a road that's •ping to be there," Laney said. The center will straddle Rivers Street's current route, and the feon has been approved by the Federal Emergency Management Adistration (FEMA), thus meaning the federal government isn't too conpi with the flooding issues surrounding the Center. Despite the approval, there are still dissenting voices concerning Icenter. Now, the voices mean very little in the project. "At this juncf the project has been done," Laney said. "It doesn't matter if somepoesn't like it. That's fine. That's their opinion. It's not stopping or ping the project," Laney added. Since the project was approved, the athletic department has been pwith a most frustrating task. "We're having to sit and wait," Laney "Planning for this facility has taken so long, we're to the stage p we want to get it done," Laney added. For Peterson, the construction of the new arena means that the Pb' heel of recruiting for ASU basketball will no longer exist. "The PWe hear about us a lot is 'They play in a high school gym,"' Peterson Is the timing for this facility right? With the basketball ream tmPig every year, most people would say yes.

After a vote by the Board of Trust­ ees last Friday, Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski announced that the center will be named the George M. Holmes Convo­ cation Center, and the arena will be named the Seby Jones Arena. The convocation center will be the new home of the Department of Health, Leisure and Exercise Science. Its facili­ ties will also include an arena for enter­ tainment and cultural events, conventions, graduation and convocation, to name a few. An Appalachian alumni, George Holmes attended Appalachian on a foot­ ball scholarship from 1950-54, said the Director of the News Bureau Jane Nicholson. His career began as a social studies teacher. While working at West Yadkin High School, Holmes coached football, basketball and baseball during his two-year stay. Following his teaching career, he joined the W.N. Ireland Insurance Agency in 1956 and became president of the agency less than ten years later. Holmes held this position until retiring in 1987. Holmes is presently a Republican member of the N.C. House of Representatives and serves as the senior co-chair of the Appropria­ tions Committee, Nicholson said. His first term in office began in 1975. He has currently served 11 terms between 1979 and the present. Holmes' credentials include serving on the Governor's Advisory Budget Commission, the Joint Legislative Commission on Gov­ ernmental Operations and the Joint Legisla­ tive Transportation Oversight Committee, Nicholson said. Holmes was ranked fourth in over­ all effectiveness in the House of Representa­ tives in 1995. His re­ moval and cleanup of a hazardous waste site in Wilkes County led him to be recognized by the town of W i l k e s b o r o , Nicholson said. Representative Holmes has received numerous awards throughout his career, i n c l u d i n g Appalachian's Distin- guished Alumni Award in 1995. "It's indisputable that Representa­ tive Holmes has done more for Appala­ chian than any other legislator in the University's history," Borkowski said. "We are very fortunate at this point in the evo­ lution of Appalachian to have a person in Representative George M.

Plemmons Student Union computer lab expanded Leslie Hitchcock News Editor Responding to an in­ crease in student demand, the computer lab in the Plemmons Student Union re­ ceived 20 new terminals. The expansion of the computer services included the addition of 15 IBM Per­ sonal Computers and five Macintoshes. There are two reasons behind the increase in the number of computers, said Associate Director of Student Programs Philip Arnold. The first reason is that the residence halls have com­ puter labs, but since the in­ troduction of card access af­ ter certain hours, off-campus students could not use them, ASU student Damien McLean types one of his papers on the new computer said Arnold. island in the Plemmons Student Union computer lab (photo by Nikki Wilson) Centrally located, the Student Union is an obvious location for off-campus use, Arnold said.

Elie Wiesel coming to speak at ASU in fall Beth Bliss Opinion Editor Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize re­ cipient and author of "Night," will speak at Appalachian State University's 1998 fall convocation. Wiesel's book, an account of his survival of the Nazi Holocaust, has been chosen as this year's freshman summer reading selection. Wiesel was chosen by the convoca­ tion committee because of his messages of tolerance and diversity, said General Studies Program Director Nancy Spann. Once Wiesel was selected as the 1998 convocation speaker, the summer reading committee decided to use "Night" as the book all incoming freshmen will read. "We thought it would be a nice tiein," said Spann. Following an inauguration last year with Julia Alvarez's "In The Time of the Butterflies," the freshman summer read­ ing program returns after considerable success, according to Spann. "[Freshman reactions] were definitely positive," she said. "We didn't have 100 percent partici­ pation, but we estimate that 70 percent of the freshman class read the book." "It was an overwhelmingly positive program," Spann said. Though freshmen will receive the most direct involvement with both the book and Wiesel's history, Spann hopes interest in the program will spread to other students, faculty and staff. 'This year, we want the whole campus to be involved," she said. �The Appalachian 26 Page 2 arch The Appalachian * is looking for qualified students to fill the following positions for the 1998-99 school year: II t t o S>°ff H (, We , I n Editor opfrfl° pho\Qgr Editor or k it, I)at istant Adver ntatir ese pVvotoS To pick up an application come by the CSIL office or the Student Publications office on the second floor of the student union or call 262-6233 �Llachian 26 March 1998 Page 3 Tom®** need to be nonniribative t o w a r d m e n _ fubanks mi /liter ^mayhavebeenatime t0 be combative tojeI1but according to Chrisfs'ommers, author of the *3 best seller, "Who Siism," it's time toasr 3 higber leve^ • •' ers voiced strong ac, about feminism and "Jstudies programs on Farthing Auditorium.

What I'm saying is that feminist activists, in their commit­ ment to prove how oppressed women are and how dangerous men can be, have mangled the truth," said Sommers. Sommers said she believes in what she calls "equity femi­ nism. According to Sommers, "an equity feminist is someone who wants for women what she wants for everyone." Sommers said that women are not doing merely as well as men, but better in many areas. She said 55 percent of students in col­ lege are women, and careers that were once male dominated have increasing numbers of women. "I believe that American women are the finest and most lib­ erated (women) in the world," said Sommers. Sommers talked about the varying beliefs between gender feminists and iiciseu concerning herself concerning men and women. men and women. While gender feminists be­ lieve that differences between men and women are caused by cultural and environmental influ­ ences, Sommers believes many differences can be attributed to biological differences. She said that experiments on girls and boys beginning at age one prove that boys are naturally more aggressive and, on average, have different cognitive strengths. "Natural differences be­ tween men and women suggest that we may never get mathemati­ cal parity in all fields," said Sommers. Sommers criticized women's studies programs and said that in most women's stud­ ies courses, women are likely to hear a lot of bad news about the condition of women. She thinks there is "crush­ ing conformity" in women's stud­ ies programs with most women of the cultural and political left wing. "What we need is a move­ ment that respects the preferences of all kinds of women, including tne are the majority who are not of the cultural left," said Sommers. Jericho march for amnesty for U.S. political prisoners Sherrie Huffman Staff Writer Freedom for United States' political prisoners is the fo­ cus of the Jericho 1998 rally and march, to be held in Washington D.C. On March 27, 40 del­ egates from Appalachian State University and the Boone commu­ nity will attend the rally and march to demand freedom and amnesty, said Kim Calhoun, a non-degree seeking student and coordinator of the trip. Calhoun said that in order to generate interest in the trip, she spoke to various campus groups whose organizations might have been interested in the trip. A committee was started to organize the details of the trip. Fundraisers have been held, fliers are posted around cam­ pus, and informative movies are being shown on campus in order to raise awareness about political prisoners, said Calhoun. The movies shown were about Mumia Abu-Jamal of the Black Panther Party and Leornard Peltier of the American Indian Movement. Calhoun said that the march is to be peaceful, and the rally will feature speakers such as Geronimo Ji Jaga (Pratt) from the Black Panther Party, Dennis Banks, the organizer of the American In­ dian Movement and other speak­ ers representing political prison­ ers. Calhoun said that some people in the U.S. may be reluc­ tant to believe that political pris­ oners exist in our country. She also said that an or­ ganization called the Counter In­ telligence Program, referred to as CoIntelPro, is an organization dedicated to keeping political pris­ oners behind bars. "This is a life or death situ­ ation for the prisoners, and we should fight for justice," Calhoun said. "If we allow them to be silenced, we aren't free until they are free. Their freedom is our free­ dom," said Calhoun. Professor of sociology and faculty advisor for the trip, Fred Milano, said the marchers are also requesting that many court cases be reopened because many politi­ cal prisoners were convicted un­ fairly, especially prisoners such as Leonard Peltier. Milano said that the march has a "1960s protest feel to it," but it isn't meant to be per­ ceived that way. "This march is not a leftwing Democrat thing or a Repub­ lican thing. This is an American thing," he said. Student interest in the march and political prisoners has been great, according to Calhoun. "I'm really glad to see stu­ dents getting involved. I am proud of the students who are going to the march. I hear a lot about apa­ thetic students on our campus, but these students have shown me oth­ erwise," Milano said. After the marchers return, there will be follow-up lectures concerning political prisoners. Tell your folks how much you're studying.

Apparently this task is a little harder than I .thought, because this campus is full of big, uneven dips in the concrete. Now I know you're saying to yourself, "What in the hell? Is this guy complaining about concrete?" Well, yes I am. The reason I am compelled to write an entire column is twofold: first, it seems to me that we pay the university enough money to get some­ thing as simple as concrete laying done correcdy; sec­ ond, even around newer buildings such as Raley Hall, the problem still exists. I could understand it a little more near t+he older buildings, but not the new ones. Please. You'd think the pavers would learn from their error-prone ways.

From semi-formals to Greek func­ tions, people on this campus do get dressed up more than once a semester. I know that I don't have the money to pay for extra dry-cleaning bills just because some incompetent mason can't do his job properly. Now that we know what the problem is, it's time to come up with a solution. Obviously, I don't want any more construction going on; having to deal with a big mudpit in my East Hall back­ yard is thrilling enough. We can't just demand to the administra­ jj tion that all con­ crete on campus needs to be lev­ eled. With the construction-happy tendencies they have these days, the entire campus would be blocked off, barricaded and turned into a wasteland. Not a pretty thought indeed. The answer, unlike Peter, Paul and Mary thought, is not blowing in the wind. It's blowing in the rain that's never seems to stop in Boone. (Pre­ pare to scale the soapbox.) Supposedly it's all be­ cause of this El Nino thingamabob. Personally, 1 think "It's to the point where I'm about to don hip waders every time I leave my dorm.! W h y did I choose such a random topic to complain about? Because it's my job to bitch about the little things on campus as well as the big issues. Parking, outdated libraries and construction have been beaten to death. As Gavin Rossdale of Bush once said, "It's the little things that kill." Oh how right he was. If someone didn't men­ tion the little things, they would never be noticed. Back to the battlefront: another reason this puddle insanity must stop has to do with clothes and the ruining thereof. There are tons of campus events that require semi-formal or formal attire. Whether see Pavement on page 5 nodding like a fool whenever the original storytellej tells it again. We use these patterns to keep us flow­ ing through life, as blind as a halibut on a sushi bar in Guam. We all pick things as "ours." That seat in the classroom is silently reserved for you. Everyone in a dorm has a favorite shower and a favorite toilet too. But there is little interest in one's personal "places." What I find more interesting are the personalities we pick for ourselves. Humans pick a role and play it. After playing it for years, most people forget how to act any other way, and their personality is theirs for a lifetime. That's why most people stop growing and, eventually, stop living way before they stop breath­ ing. We are all bom quite sane. But if the music is too loud, you can't write your own. And society is playing with a full orchestra. You, on the other hand, have a nose flute. Best of luck, pal. Everything you've ever been told was complete bull. We have reached a point where one can no longer argue rationally for anything. Everything we are doing as a society is insane, and most of it is in complete contradiction with some other part of it. There is always a completely different point of view, and nobody's got enough firepower to make theirs the correct one. There are no "givers." Not anymore. We are all finished evolving. If every other liv­ ing organism in this whole stinking universe wants to keep changing its number of appendages and pref­ erence in atmospheres, it ain't got nuthin' to do with me. But people have unanimously said, "Look, let's just settle down and pick one particular body, one particular, if not outdated, immune system and hope for the best." That's why we all say "humans" and "environment." Totally unrelated. Yeah, and so what if we no longer follow some of natures rules? Nature's not so great. Ticks. I rest my case. Nature blows. OK, so we're killing everything on earth, and before long, we'll all be dead too. If that's the price for abandoning nature, fine. We all signed up. Nobody cares, and we all know it. You've heard the "but what can I do?" lines. Those roughly translate into, "I will not live in a world without dis­ posable products, and I'll kill every last person that tries to stop me."

Little phrases we use, stories we can't wait to tell, particular mannerisms we've become addicted to. But what I love is when people do the exchange conversations. One person tells a humorous story that has to do with the con­ versation, and then the next person does. The larger the group, the better, and I'll tell you why. The people stop caring what the speaker is saying. Everyone is so excited about telling their story that they cut off the speaker before he/she is fin­ ished. Nobody is listening to the speaker anyway. Everyone is rehearsing their own next story in their head. And no one really cares what is being said, unless the story is really good, in which case you add it to your collection of stories and get the privilege of As the student representative from the Uni­ versity Honors Program to the Living/Learning Center Building Committee, I would like to clarify my opinions on the new residence hall as seen in the article "New Residence Hall Plans Taking Shape" (March 19,1998). Accessibility to campus is not a concern. However, convenience to campus is a concern, be­ cause the proposed sites are considerably further away from the library and most food service areas (though one is planned for the building) than East and Coffey Halls are. Quality of facilities is also not a concern. The new residence hall should be a VERY (sic) nice facility in which most any student would enjoy living. As a current resident of Coffey Hall, I have a private bathroom and kitchenette inside my own room, and I cannot see myself want­ ing to move into a facility that does not have these amenities when I can live in a facility that does have them/ Parking, however, is a concern. I do not expect or even hope for student parking at the new residence hall, though I would like to see load­ ing zones for students to use. Many residence halls currently do not have adequate parking for stu­ dents to even unload groceries for 15 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. These are some of the major concerns I have with the new residence hall. If any of you students, and especially honors students, have other con­ cerns, please let me know, and I will take them to the Living/Learning Center Building Committee.

Robinson ASU Box 12034 After reading Matt Bielejeski's column concern­ ing his hospitalization ordeal (March 19,1998), a fury began to rage from within me. I had a horrible expe­ rience with a group of incompetent medical profes­ sionals last year, and I was not surprised by what he described. I was hospitalized last January after suf­ fering a series of collapsed lungs, and although this was due in no part to the hospital staff, I had to deal with misplaced appliances entering my body during my stay. I had two chest tubes hanging from between my ribs on either side, since both of my lungs had collapsed. I awoke at 4 a.m. one morning, unable to move, due to an excruciating stabbing pain in my left lung. I could not breathe deeply, and I could barely move, since it felt like I had a serrated steak knife being twisted in my chest. After begging the nurses to drug me, they obliged—but only after having to try on three different occasions to properly insert an IV I asked them to call a doctor, and they repeatedly assured me that they would. At noon the same day, I was still in pain and had not seen a doctor. He had not even come around for his morning check-up, and no one knew what was wrong with me. I actually called the doctor at his private office demanding that he come to the hospital and attend to the problem. Hours passed, and no doctor. I was helpless. It wasn't until 6 p.m. that he arrived to check on me and de­ cided that my lung had collapsed again, on the tube that was inserted into my lung because the machine I was hooked to wasn't functioning properly. I was later transferred to another hospital and found that the incompetent nurses and assistants failed to no­ tice that the air tube was twistedbeneath my ban-^ages_and_all>suctionJiadbeen^utoffJbquotethe see Average on page 5 Angela Greene ASU Box 7361 Dog abuse stiii an issue To the Editor: I was standing in line waiting to see "Jackie Brown" with a friend, and there was a dog stand­ ing there with its nose pressed up against the glass. It only took a couple of minutes to see that it was waiting for someone in the theater. No big deal, I see dogs waiting outside the library all the time for their owners to come out. Well, this dog was so anxious, it ran into the theater looking for some­ one. Also no big deal. What really got me,was over two hours later, the dog was still there with its nose pressed up against the glass. It was bone-chill­ ing cold outside, and this dog was obviously very scared and uncomfortable. Then, the next night outside of Murphy's, there was another dog cooped up inside a truck while it's owner was inside whooping it up over a basketball game. This dog had no water and no way to take care of business if it had to. To me, animals are living thinking creatures with feelings as real as you or I.

The water flooded more than half of the parking lot in an hour. Heavy rain submerges ASU and Boone Friday morning Darin Glass Editor-in-Chief Leslie Hitchcock News Editor Torrential rainfall fell over Boone Friday, soaking the already saturated ground and causing flood­ ing at Appalachian State University and surrounding areas. Approximately 3.23 inches of rain fell within 24 hours, while 1.5 inches fell between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. Appalachian only suffered minor damages with two buildings incurring water problems. ASU Varsity Gymnasium and Edwin Duncan Hall sustained minor flooding. According to the Administra­ tor of Building Services, Paul Wilson, "One to three inches of water came into the gym." The main floor of the gym was resurfaced two weeks ago with a special waterproof apoxi finish that hopefully will allow for minimal damage, said Wilson. There still could be damage around the perimeter of the main floor in areas that were not treated, Wilson said. The extent of the damage will not be known for awhile, until esti­ mates from professionals come in. The estimated damages might be warping and advanced deterio­ ration of the floor, said Wilson. More damage might have oc­ curred if it was a weekend and the custodial staff had not reacted so quickly, said Wilson. The staff used wet vacuums, mops and other water machinery to soak up the water. Additionally, the carpet in the men's and women's locker rooms had to be shampooed because of the dirty water. Duncan Hall was the other building threatened by the high wa­ ter. Duncan did not receive as much water and sustained less dam­ age because clean up crews were on site when the water was coming into the building, said Wilson. A report from the Physical Services Building said 170 manhours were used in the clean up of the buildings.

Rainfall reports were approximated be­ cause of technical diffi­ culties at Watauga County Emergency Man­ agement. "We're not sure of the exact measurement, because lightning struck our tower Friday morn­ ing," said representative Tim Nelson. Emergency Man­ agement has a Rainflow Measuring System that records rainfall, Nelson said. "When the data comes in, we broadcast it, and the National Weather Service hears it and issues a watch or warning accordingly," said Nelson.

I know what s coming.Iknow that the month ahead will press my sanity to the limit, as the entire nation is captivated by non-stop college basketball. March Mad­ ness is upon us, andI pose this question: What's the big deal? My opinion will most likely bring a common response. I am not only a woman (and, by definition, probably not interested in sports, right?), but also a transplanted Yankee—I wasn't raised in ACC country, and 1 don't care to take sides in the war between Duke and Carolina. Therefore, my opinion is not credible. True fans will further comment on the excitement of The Big Dance: Who will emerge as a dark horse, overcoming the number-one seed? Will there be a major upset? Who knows? Who cares? This has little to do with my negative opinion of the NCAA tournament. In my eyes, the battle between the top 64 teams does not enhance or add excitement to college athletics. Rather, the quest for NCAA gold undermines the sport and brings a professional feel to a world that is supposed to be strictly amateur. The NCAA tournament elevates college athletes to a new professional status. Those who lost in the first round went back to class after one day on the court. But consider the teams that may go all the way. They have been on the road for a few weeks, playing for huge crowds in venues that sell every bit of NCAA and team paraphernalia known to man. How is this any different from going to a professional event? The NCAA makes a killing off of this tournament, and though college players aren't paid, it certainly seems as if they should be. This tournament is about marketing. Why shouldn't the tal­ ents on parade receive a little something extra? Because it's against the rules, that's why. The Big Dance hides under the guise of organization, excitement and annoying commentators. But in actuality, it's a cash crop for colleges and universities nationwide. Schools can see No March is a time for spring rain, flowers and calls of "Hey ref, you stink!" March Madness is upon us again with flair and excitement that cannot be denied. The tournament is really a marvel when you think about it. The whole coun­ try gets involved during this time of year. Fans show allegiances to their favorite teams and conferences. Crowds are just thrilled to see young athletes playing for the love of the game, before they are corrupted by the money of the NBA. Marketing plays a big role in the tournament as well. The money brought into the NCAA goes to the different conferences represented by each university. The money is spread throughout each conference to each university. Academic and athletic scholarships are funded by this money. Charities and other notable organizations receive money andsupport from the NCAA as well. The tournament also brings in tremendous revenue for the cities that host the different brackets. This is the pinnacle for college basketball players. They have given their all, and then some, for the chance to get to The Dance. The fuel for the fire is desire. These young players dive into stands for balls and hurl their bodies toward re­ bounds for the chance to be a part of history. They are scholars with hopes of starting careers with their degrees. Others hope for the NBA and a chance for the big dollars. What makes the tournament unique is the fascination surrounding the emotion. Most of the players are still growing into adulthood and have long lives ahead of them, but they are in the national spotlight where every word can be heard. These athletes sacrifice studies and many other activities to bring honor and respect to their universities. The tournament is still much more than the students themselves. It is about their families and how they got the chance to make it on the team. The parents of the players are in the forefront as well as the players themselves. Parents are inter­ viewed and tell how proud they are and what this opportunity means to them. It is not just about love for a game, but love for one another. more NCAA ori page 4 see Substance on page 4 Love, part three: Facing the dreaded day Kelly Fisher Columnist So let's face it. Your perfectly wonderful rela­ tionship sucks. You have to do it. You have to tell another human being that you no longer prefer their exclusive company, or that you prefer the company of someone else. Chances are, you've been thinking about doing it for a while, and you may have even dropped some hints that you are losing interest in your future ex. If you are waiting for the right time to break up with your significant other, face the facts: There is no right time. No matter when you dump some­ one, you are going to hurt him or her. It is all a mat­ ter of finding a time when you will feel the least guilty about it. Admit it, you do care about this person's feelings. But more so, you care about your own, and you don't want to feel guilty about kicking someone to the curb. That is why you drop hints for two weeks and tell him or her you're too busy to do something. You hope they will just suddenly realize what's go­ ing on and forget about you. Dumpees won't see this, because they wear the blinds of love; and even if they do see the hints, they will bury their heads in the sand and ignore them, thinking that if they don't see it, the rejection won't be there. In theory, it would be nice to let someone down slow and easy, but in reality, not many of us can pull that off. We drag relationships out and end up hurt­ ing our boy or girlfriend for an extended period of time instead of dealing one quick blow. "One quick blow" may sound brutal, but in reality, it is less pain­ ful. If you cared enough about a person to date them steadily, then spare him or her this pain: not break­ ing up, but still hanging out, kissing on occasion and offering hopes of getting back together. It really bites to be dangling from a string of uncertainty. By the same token, have the courage to stand by your decision when you break up. If you decided to break up with a person, then obviously there are problems in the relationship you feel cannot be solved. Be prepared for the ex to try to win you back, because they will try. Just remember the reasons you broke up and be strong. Naturally, you think your ex is attractive or you would not have dated in the first place. According to Madonna, "Rejection is the great­ est aphrodisiac." Do not be seduced back into a bad relationship. A steady relationship brings much comfort. This comfort can be addicting, and the thought of see Part three on page 4 Campus Perspectives Question: How the mixed wea ther affected you ? "I'm used to this resurgence of bad weather.

But comfort is not al­ ways best. I could be relatively com­ fortable in a room with Howard Stern, but I do not think he is my one true love. Be prepared to be lonely. There will not be anyone who loves you to come home to. Breaking up sounds like the most hideous thing, but really, it isn't! Think of all the adventure that awaits you. No more latenight fights about whom you were flirting with at a party. You are now free to go out or flirt with whom­ ever you find worthy. You can spend time getting to know all the friends you have been neglecting. If you don't dump the wrong per­ son, how will you ever meet the coLouieix BANKGRQ right one? To conclude this three-part series, I just want to say that the opinions stated in these articles are the opinions of a jaded woman. No one can really tell you how to make your relationships work or how to end them. Every situation is different, but remem­ ber that no matter what the situa­ tion may be, two people's feelings are involved. Waiting for that one right person avoids all of the uncomfort­ able situations of having to end a bad relationship. Someone can be really nice and fun to be with but be really wrong for you. I heard a man named Clayton King speak once, and he said something that really hit me hard. Why settle for good when you could wait and have the best? really rake it in if they have the talent. Not only will they receive financial kudos for their efforts in the tournament, they can expect huge alumni contributions and huge ticket sales if they win the championship. Everyone will want to support "our boys." While I hope this may lead to scholarships for students who otherwise might not be able to at­ tend big schools, I have to frown on the fund-raising methods. Prob- ably considered America's favorite sport, even college (amateur) bas­ ketball has sold out. I can't blame Kobe Bryant for going straight to the NBA. He could have led a team to the NCAA tournament, but he went for the real money—however commendable or despicable that may be. Money-making collegiate sports completely overshadow many other noteworthy teams and organizations. Women's teams are consistently ignored because they don't draw the big crowds. But if the NCAA has the power to en­ trance most of America with the men's tournament, couldnt they use their enormous influence to bring women's teams into the spot­ light? Sure, they may draw a smaller profit—but that's not what collegiate sports are all about, or so I thought.

Many of the players will not go on to the NBA, and this could be their last chance to be a part of something very special. College is not for everybody, and Blair & Associates those who reach college know that it is hard enough to write team papers, much less write them af­ ter losing in front of 25,000 screaming fans. The expressions and adula­ tion of the players are moving enough. They may seem trite and cheesy, but the emotions are real and from the heart. College spirit is hard to find or to define sometimes.

Finally, after a period of showing off their dunks and half-court shots, Coach Geese Ausbie's team took the court for their so-called "game" against the Nation­ als. The crowd thoroughly enjoyed watching the Globetrotters embarrass and humiliate the lowly Nationals by using their unorthodox passing, ball-handling and cheating skills for the next 40 min­ utes. The life of the show was the Globetrotter's Paul "Showtime" Gaffney, one of the oldest members of the team. Gaffney wore a wireless microphone when he played so that the crowd could hear him tease members of the other team, the referee, the fans and even his own teammates. In fact, Gaffney spent more time making fun of the ref's bald head, grabbing the behinds of the Nationals' play­ ers and kissing women in the stands than he did actually playing basketball. In the fourth quarter, Gaffney spent most of the time playing with a 6-year-old boy that he pulled out of the stands and made an official member of the team.

The Mountaineers last two shots at individual titles were piaced in the hands of seniors Carl Barton and Matt Kim, who had both shown improvement towards the latter part of the season. Barton fell to VMI's Issac Moore by a 4-2 decision in the 190-pound finals. Moore completed his undefeated sea­ son in conference competition by win­ ning the bout. Barton, who knocked off number-two-seed Greg Forbes, 7-6, to reach the finals finished the season with a 9-8 overall record, posting 23 wins over his two-year stint with Appala­ chian. Matt Kim turned in a solid ef­ fort at heavyweight despite falling to VMI's Leslie Apedoe, 7-4. The Keydet grappler was ranked among the Top 10 nationally at heavyweight for much of the 1997-98 campaign. Kim finished his ASU career with a 23-22 overall mark. Apedoe was voted as the league's Wrestler-of-the-Year prior to the tournament. For the Mountaineers, it was a season of what-ifs, injuries and NCAA rule changes that hampered the team for much of the season.

Speaking of spins, there has been quite an effort to improve Latrell (or as I refer to him "Latrene") Sprewell's image. On "60 Minutes" a couple of weeks back, Sprewell did an interview where he was perfectly calm and seemingly candid. In the interview, Sprewell constantly referred to the incident where he tried to strangle his coach as a "mistake." A mistake falls under the category of most wrecks, or mispronouncing someone's name. Trying to choke some­ one is an unfortunate decision rather than a mistake. There was a rather interesting article in the newly printed ESPN article about Sprewell. Instead of taking respon­ sibility for his actions, Sprewell blames the whole incident on his upbringing, the fact that he had three kids by three different women in three different states and the fact that Coach RJ. Carlesimo is a big "meanie." It amazes me that Sprewell will play again. I can only imaginewhat wouldhappen if a nor­ mal person strangled their boss. The boss would probably go to the cops, file charges against the person and fire them. Carlesimo was really a nice guy just to forbid Sprewell from the practice facillities. On the whole, the piece re­ ally does a good job of making Sprewell look like the victim. How­ ever, the last time I checked, Carlesimo was the one who got choked. The Washington Bullets make a perfect match for Sprewell. He fits in perfectly with the likes of Chris Webber, Rod Strickland and Tracy Murray. Webber fits into the thuggish category quite well after he was stopped for speeding and was found to have a nice stash of marijuana on his person. Strickland and Murray made ESPN's Sportscenter look like a really bad episode of Jerry Springer when Strickland heard from a girl­ friend he had aparendy been shar­ ing with Murray that Murray had made some negative comments about him. As a result, Strickland gave Murray a black eye. These guys don't need a coach, they need a parole officer.

The Living/Learning Center Build­ ing Committee, made up of representa­ tives from the Watauga College, the Uni­ versity Honor's Program, Residence Life and Student Development, has begun to meet to start planning for the construc­ tion. Brad Reid, Director of Housing, said the intent is to build a residential college modeled after quadrangles at Oxford Uni­ versity in England. "The residential colleges at Oxford were made up of four components which included residential space, food service space, a library and a chapel," said Reid. Reid said that the Living/Learning Center will contain residential space and a food service area. Designed to house the 200 students in Watauga College, the residence hall will have bed space for approximately 300 to 350 residents. According to Reid, the committee would like to place both Watauga College and the University Honor's Program in the center, but does not think that either pro­ gram could grow if joined together. Currently, the building design will be a quadrangle in which students are housed on three sides and classes are held on the fourth side, Reid said. There are three stages to the build­ ing process of the residential college, said Reid. The first pan in the process is the transfer of Watauga College to the initial building which will be U-shaped, Reid said. According to Reid, the building will house residential space, programming spaces and faculty offices. The current idea for the residents' rooms will be suite-style, where two stu­ dent rooms will be joined by a common bath, Reid said. Reid speculates that the center will open in August 2001. The next stage is to build the founh side to the quadrangle that will house classrooms, said Reid. The wing will also contain faculty offices and apartments. With the completion of the quad­ rangle, the area in the center will be land­ scaped into a courtyard, Reid said. Surrounding thebuilding will be green space similar to others on campus for leisure activities. Future additions to the quadrangle include the connection of the University Honor's Program to the Living/Learning Center, said Reid.

"We'll have to replace the tennis courts andrelocate the Chancellor's house, and we may find that the sites don't lend themselves to any of the three compo­ nents," said Reid. Until the opening of the center, Watauga College and the University Honor's Program will remain in their re­ spective residence halls, Reid said. Honor's Program Coordinator Dr. Donald Saunders has concern about the plans for the center. "(What I am worried about is) whether the program should shape the structure or whether the structure will wind up shaping the program," said Saunders. The future Director of Watauga College, Dt Cynthia Wood, acknowledged that the plans for the center are in the preliminary stages. "We envision others in the center besides Watauga College," said Wood. "The space might be offered to Latin American studies and possibly freshman learning groups," she said. John Robinson, the student repre­ sentative on the committee from Coffey Hall, expressed student concerns such as accessibility to campus, quality of facili­ ties and the ever present parking prob­ lems. "It is hard to imagine me wanting to step down in the quality of facilities," Robinson said.

An educational video will also •display for any passers-by to enotheir brains. "What we will do is to connect the two residence halls with a shared aca­ demic space," Reid said. The idea for the University Honor's Program has not been scheduled because of financial reasons, said Reid. According to Reid, $10.7 million has been allocated for Stage One of the project. The money was funded through the sale of university bonds which student fees pay. The delay of Stage Two comes as a result of state legislature funding, which funds all academic buildings. The long-range plan to build an addition that includes the University Honor's Program will go into effect after approval is given to commit funds that exceed $10.7 million, said Reid. According to Reid, if the commit­ tee decided to abandon the Living/Learn­ ing Center plans, a larger residence hall with more occupancy capabilities could be built for the same amount of money. "We could change our focus as long as we did not go over our allotted amount of money, but we think that the center is the best plan to use," Reid said. Plans for the location of the center are under evaluation, Reid said. The locations under evaluation are the tennis courts on Bodenheimer Drive and the current location of the Chancellor's house. t Above- The luck of the Irish!

Once a serious issue, sexual harassment is now marred by mass par­ ticipation—everyone wants to jump on the harass­ ment bandwagon and point fingers at men. This decade has seen a surge of sexual harass­ ment suits, many of them legitimate. Once the fed­ eral government encouraged them to come forward, women found the courage to stand up to employers who offered sexual innuendos more frequendy than job performance appraisals. Women who had been targets for sex jokes or who had been wrongly fired or passed over for promotions because they wouldn't sleep their way to the top, began to understand that the law was in their favor. This, according to the March 23 issue of Time, is known as "quid pro quo" harassment—in simpler terms, it is blatant and easy to identify, though sometimes difficult to prove. Identification and the ramifications of such ha­ rassment are certainly important. Harassees deserve compensation, and harassers deserve to pay for such ignorance. However, complications arise when £ ncail may be sent to: Theapp@appstate.edu. )f ^°P'n'ons expressed in The Appalachian are m ividual columnists andnot necessarily those Appalachian. Darin Glass Editor-in-Chief Ke ^niels 1a8'ng Editor O'Brien lness Manager ^'"Uuskins Manager >Vvi" Ev Leslie Hitchcock News Editor Beth Bliss Opinion Editor Jeremy Ball Campus Life Editor ans 'graPhy Justin Griffin Editc Sports Editor women—and men, in some cases—push sexual ha­ rassment laws to their limits. The Supreme Court has determined that harassment can develop from ev­ eryday speech or conduct, creating any kind of "hos­ tile environment," according to Time. Under these terms, even the mere act of flirting can be construed as sexual harassment, if either party considers the act to have made him or her uncomfortable. This determination, though rendered through the highest court in our nation, leaves me uneasy. Sexual harassment is completely subjective. What is offensive to some may be considered funny to oth­ ers. Do you watch "Seinfeld?" If so, you better not discuss it in class. You could fall prey to the same accusations as Jerold Mackenzie, who was accused of sexual harassment after he told a fellow (female) employee about a particularly racy episode. Subjec­ tivity definitely came into play in this situation. He thought it was funny, and I probably would have, too. But his co-worker was less than amused, and wanted compensation for "damages" sustained. There are less subtle, but equally controver­ sial situations that take the terms of sexual harass­ ment too far, and they make me question the validity of the whole deal. In some cases, people are genu­ inely offended by comments, dirty jokes or pictures of half-naked women. In others, though,people make accusations so they may receive press coverage and million-dollar lawsuits. It is commonly said that you can sue anyone for anything; I guess that's plainly obvious in many sexual harassment cases. Women who sue for sexual harassment have incentive to do so, because it is always her word against his. In a society that pities "victims," especially female victims, who do you think the jury will believe? Sexual harassment laws bring justice to people with actual complaints. But they simultaneously sup­ port stagnant male-female relationships in the work­ place and beyond. The natural tendencies of man and woman are sexual. While this does not give ei­ ther sex the right to harass, the forces of nature should not be inhibited in fear of lawsuits. Who's to say that many "harassment" suits don't actually arise from a man or woman scorned? The film "Disclosure" ex­ plored this possibility: Demi Moore accused Michael Douglas of sexual assault and harassment when he wouldn't have an affair with her. This was, in fact, a form of reverse harassment, but the movie brings to light an interesting scenario. If man and woman are flirting, possibly tossing around a few sexual sugges­ tions, and the relationship goes sour, can the woman suddenly deem the conversation as harassment? Situ­ ations such as this happen every day on this campus. A woman may not hold her own in court, but the mere mention of sexual harassment could cause the man to lose his job, his family and his position as a respectable member of society. There are no workable solutions to the sexual harassment issue, simply because no one wants to stand in the way of people with serious complaints. But men and women alike need to lighten up and take things with the usual gram ot salt. Dirty jokes are funny to some and offensive to others. But is a lawsuit really necessary? Mom always told me to ig­ nore them, walk away and know that ultimately, I am a better person. By 2p.m. that afternoon, they still hadn't fig­ ured out what was wrong with me. They had checked me into a room, a room that would become my own little private hell-hole. They had IVs going this way and that, syringes taking blood and syringes shoot­ ing me up with drugs, all kinds of fun little activities. The nurses would arrive about every hour or so to do some unspeakable act with a needle. As Sunday morning arrived, the doctors had finally come to the conclusion that the intense pain was caused by my appendix. In the course of deter­ mining this infor­ mation, they de­ cided to let my 103degree fever hang around for three hours, never mind that I was shaking like a leaf. Medical knowledge these days is so wonder­ ful. I got my ap­ pendix taken out later that day; no big deal. That wasn't what made this hospital visit as hellacious as a stay at Auschwitz. The insanity began Sunday night. By this time, I still had not yet "voided," or emptied, my bladder. This phenomenon was due to the numbing effects of an anesthetic and my good friend Demerol. In came three pseudo-nurses with a bag. The bag contained all the tools necessary for catheterization. For those of you not acquainted with exten­ sive medical knowledge, please allow me to enlighten you. Catheterization is a technique employed to empty the bladder using a tube about a quarter of an inch in diameter. This tube is inserted into the blad­ der through whatever opening the gender of the pa­ tient dictates. Once Irealized what the nurses were going to do, I began to sweat—a lot. Then 1 thought to my­ self, "Hey, they're nurses. They know what they're doing." Or so I thought. After they had done their work, there was something wrong. Nothing was happening, and my bladder wasn't emptying. They called a real nurse in, who con­ cluded that they hadn't done it right. Somehow, they took a wrong turn at Albuquer­ que and went somewhere they weren't supposed to. How quaint. In light of this screw-up, they had to take the catheter out and do it again. Thank goodness for the real nurse. She sent the three she-demons out of the room and did it right. For those of you not very acquainted with pain, let me describe this procedure for you. Imagine re­ ceiving a paper cut in your "happy area," then pour­ ing alcohol on it. That should give you something to interpret my pain. Needless to say, it's not a fun rea­ son to miss class. Monday morning arrived. They removed the If you skip class, avoid the hospital Matt Bielejeski Columnist How would you like a plastic tube, 1/4-inch in diameter, shoved into your genitals repeatedly? Sounds like some new torture method being used to interrogate prisoners, but it's actually a verifiable medical procedure called catheterization. That's what the end of my spring break was all about—getting the tube procedure done, not once, not twice, but three times (and believe me, the third time is defi­ nitely not the charm). , After a mediocre but not completely dull week off,Ipacked my stuff in preparation to leave for Boone on Saturday. Then the problems began. At 6 a.m. Saturday morning,I woke up to se­ vere abdominal pain. Iwent to the emergency room, and after writhing in pain for an hour and a half, doctors finally decidedI was in enough pain to give me medication. However, I am not cracking on the medical profession quite yet. When they decide to give some­ one pain relief, they do it right. I was injected with 100 ml of Demerol. Yup, that's right, the big D. Iwas quite the happy camper after the shot. The problem was, the Demerol eventually wore off, so they shot me up three more times. Ordinarily, this blessed series of events would have me jumping for joy. In this case,I was so drugged that I actually told them not to give me the fourth shot.

The two sides of this issue must be heard, but the staff editorial in last Thursday's paper missed the point of the honor pledge. The proposed honor pledge is not meant to stamp out every instance of cheating. It is intended to "enhance an atmosphere of trust and fairness." This referendum is the first step in a long process. It will take years for the Appalachian community to grasp the ideals of the pledge, but once the honor pledge is ingrained in our community, the benefits will be enormous. The student committee has several reasons for implementing a honor pledge as part of Appalachian's Academic Integrity Code. First, an honor pledge affirms the importance of academic integrity to the community. Second, an honor pledge encourages discussion about ethical issues among students. Third, the administration is show­ ing faith in us as students by giving us a choice, just as they did in the residence hall visitation policy earlier this year. This honor pledge will be the stu­ dents' honor pledge, because it was developed and written by students. It is rare when the opportunity to create tra­ dition arises. The SAIC encourages students who believe in honor to vote for the pledge. A test of hon­ esty is upon us. The students of the AIC are faithful we will pass, but the decision is yours. 3.

I've seen quite a few letters that say, "I used to read the Opin­ ion section, but it has gone down­ hill, and I don't like anyone even remotely related to that paper," or, "The article entitled (fill in the blank) was irrelevant and stupid. Why can't The Appalachian deal with real issues?" This article is for those people. (And if you stop reading, you are a nerd and you will never see any of that free squash). The first article I ever wrote caused several members of the science faculty to send me some hate mail. Since then,Ihave received e-mail and phone calls about damn near everythingIhave written. "You can't possibly be that stupid." "Which one of your par­ ents is gay?" "You are the bare defi­ nition of fool." "Think before you write." "Die before tomorrow." And so forth and so on. To this, I have this reply: 1. If you really think I'm that stupid, I'm hardly worth con­ tacting. 2. If you don't have any­ thing nice to say... 3. Yes, my gram­ mar is really that bad. Keep reading. (Free squash.) Perhaps I am misunder­ stood because a significant amount of my work gets edited, usually due to space constraints. So here is a brief explanation of my jour­ nalistic process: I write some hardcore sex story involving duct tape, Jell-O and 'possums. My edi­ tor recommends therapy. A team of trained monkeys adds some lines about current politics and removes most ethnic slurs and the part about Jell-O. The entire article is translated from Russian to En­ glish and is sent to Edgar Normheart in Philly, who removes all offensive verbs. The article is then posted on the Internet for six to eight weeks and the people of the world make changes as they see fit. Finally, the article is given to a local homeless person who eats it for the nutrients. The point is that somebody out there just got offended by my reference to 'possums and is al­ ready sending me hate mail. Calm down, people. There is no reason to get pissed. Except that I lied. There was never any squash. ButI can maybe hook you up with some turnips if you keep reading. I don't want to give the wrong idea.I am giving my opin­ ion to the world, so I kind of ex­ pect someone to disagree with me.

For these people,Ihave noth­ ing but respect, and some perti­ nent information on turnips, which is located at the end of this article. But for those of you who must at­ tack anyone who disagrees with you, I worry that you are missing the point. It seems like people read an article about some topic which I think is important, and instead of thinking about it or caring, they look for anything they can use against me. For example, my last article was about public school, so instead of thinking about how we can improve public schools, some guy leaves a message on my ma­ chine that says, 'This is a public school. Why don't you go home if you hate them so much?" Talk about missing the forest for the trees. I'm talking about improving the education system, and some­ body calls to pick a semantic fight on the definition of "public school." What the hell? I firmly believe in the follow­ ing. You're wrong, and somebody in the future can prove it. Our opinions are just silly little ideas to which we clingin vain attempts to understand the world. In a few years, the things we were taught and told as facts will be irrelevant and incorrect. (That's why history books have to be entirely rewrit­ ten instead of just having new stuff added to the end.) The only thing opinions are good for is advanc­ ing history one mistake at a time. Of course,Ispeak only for me. The other Opinion writers have their own stories, issues and well, opin­ ions.

"Maybe nowI can run with­ out having to worry about losing my shorts," he thought. Justin and the cadets continue to run and arrive back at B.B. Dougherty. Justin reaches back to his equipment to get his shorts, and they aren't there. To his horror, Justin has lost his shorts some­ where on the streets of Boone. Justin Redfern, a sophomore from Salisbury, is an ROTC student at Appala­ chian State University with one less pair of shorts. Redfern has had several mishaps like this happen to him, but it all comes iy M-16. with the territory. Being in ROTC has Justin and the other cadets have given him opportunities to do things he ed their run around the town of only dreamed of. ffle.

"I'm where cadets go to be graded on their per­ no one but my teammates are up to formance. This is the only required train­ this." He manages to get the shorts ing outside of the ASU battalion. and attaches them to his equipment Redfern said the scores cadets re­ ceive at Advance Camp help determine whether cadets will become lieu­ tenants when they graduate. Most cadets do become lieutenants, whether it is being placed on active duty, national guard or re­ serve. He said that ROTC expects a lot out of a person, but it is very worthwhile. It requires a lot of obligation, dedi­ cation and responsibil­ ity. Redfern first learned of the ROTC program at Appalachian through his brother, a May graduate of the ASU ROTC program. His family has no prob­ lems with Redfern and his brother both being in the military. "My family is real supportive. They've always been supportive. They've always backed me up no matter what dflt King goes through the Jump Tower at I've done," Redfern said. 'ft Bragg. ROTC cadet T.J. Witlow goes through the Leadership Reaction Course at Fort Bragg (all photos provided by the Military Science Department). Redfern has a three-year scholar­ ship and is contracted. Being contracted basically means that a cadet wants to be a lieutenant and will put forth the effort necessary to be one. He made the committment to stay in the ROTC program after his freshman year and thus became contracted. Some cadets are not con­ tracted. Once they reach their junior year, they have to be contracted to continue in the ROTC program. Even thoughROTC demands a lot of his time, Redfern feels that being a stu­ dent comes first. 'Always, grades come first. That's drilled to you everyday. If you're not do­ ing well in school, then it's not worth your while to be a cadet, because it doesn't help you out when you become a lieutenant," Redfern said. Grades are important in ROTC, and Redfern said that cadets do feel pres­ sure to do well in school. "They minimize your participa­ tion if you fail a class, in order to keep your grades up," Redfern said. Appalachian is typically a school comprised of students that don't look fa­ vorably on the military. Redfern doesn't let that bother him or affect his decisions. "I look atit in the grander scheme of things. Someday I'll be serving in the Army, and I must take that as a profes­ sional responsibility first. What other people think just wants me to be more proud and puff out my chest a little more," Redfern said. Redfern hopes that students don't look at ROTC negatively. If so, he wants students to look at it from all sides, with an educated thought process, taking in the whole picture, to see that ROTC is a part of Appalachian's diversity. Redfern feels that the best way to show students that Army people aren't all that bad is to be a representative. "Two days a week, I get in my uniform andI am an Army cadet. That's what I am. The other five days a week, I'm a college student just like they are," Redfern said. Even though Redfern considers him­ self the typical college student, one thing is slightly different—his morning schedule. has lab from noon to 3 p.m. at State Farm to train in military tactics. Besides being a full-time student and an ROTC cadet, Redfern does find time for extracurricular activities. He is involved in a club through ROTC called Commandos and just went through train­ ing that qualified him as a commando. This club requires a year of training in see ROTC page 7 Monday, Wednesday and Friday, at 6 a.m., ROTC cadets have RT. exercise, oth­ erwise known as physi­ cal training. Redfern usually rises out of bed at the brisk hour of 5:30 a.m. to report to the Quinn at 6 a.m. Once he arrives there, he has to do sit-ups, push-ups and a typical three-mile run, until the clock strikes 7 a.m. On Thursdays, Redfern ROTC cadets in the morning physical training in the Quinn Center.

From the first day of classes to October, the ca­ dets train daily from 6-7:30 a.m. Several weeks into the training, the cadets go back to the regular physical training schedule and use Tuesdays and Thursdays for practicing events for the Ranger Challenge. The events consist of a timed weapons assembly, rope bridge, grenade assault test, physi­ cal training test, marksmanship, land navigation and a written test. The last and hardest event is a 10K road march in which the cadets has accomplished a lot of things. Most recent was the Pershing Rifle Team becoming the 1998 National Champions. The battalion as a whole has been rated one of the best in the country. Redfem feels that ROTC is an exceptional pro­ gram that makes you work for a lot.

I'd like to deal with search­ ing for lost persons," Redfem said. Redfern's attitude is that if he has to one day give his life for his country, so be it. It's his job.

"I've gained a good sense of discipline and responsibility. I've got a lot of good friends I've made through the ROTC program. It's almost like a brotherhood, even though women are encouraged to be a part of ROTC," Redfem said. Women do make up a sig­ nificant percentage of the ROTC program at ASU, and Redfern thinks that is a good thing. "The military has to move on just like everyone else does and evolve. Women are playing a greater role in society as a whole, and it's just natural for them to spread their influence to the mili­ tary," Redfem said.

In the commercial, Vaughn tells .viewers not to bet on their team, or -earn, f°r that matter. The reason he not to, is that gambling is a problem f causes more problems.

As a result, Kansas The real reason why the NCAA doesn't want gambling to go on has noth­ ing to do with the welfare of the fans or the players, or even the integrity of the games. It's the simple fact that money that is related to bas­ ketball is circulating, and they aren't getting any of it. Much is being done by the NCAA to prevent their sports from being associated with gam­ bling. One of the most visible rules that has been instated is a rule that forbids reporters from papers who sell advertising to bookies to receive media credentials to NCAA Tour­ nament games. millions of dollars. After a scholarship, do the players get any of the money? Ab­ solutely not. "Fine, no problem," says the player. "I'll get a job." Wrong again. Players on athletic scholarship are not allowed at any time on larger campuses, athletes are being set up by the NCAA to fall flat on their faces, taking their university with them. How fair is it for the NCAA to bring in billions of dollars a year from tele­ vision contracts and related revenues and to ignore the players who got them there? In the past couple of years, there has been a vast migration by younger players to avoid the whole problem. Stephon Marbury, who un­ doubtedly could have led Georgia Tech to at least three more NCAA Tournament berths, left after only a year. What about Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant, who bypassed during the school year to have a job. The college altogether? reasoning behind the rule is to keep the Many people want to portray athletes from picking up employment these players as greedy, stupid or even where they will get special consideration. thuggish for leaving or avoiding college.

But many stupid nit-picking rules that take the For so many high-caliber players to be avoidng college, there has to be a problem with the game.

Other com­ petition in the meet included Liberty, UNC-Asheville, Bucknell, NC State, Campbell, Livingstone, Charleston Southern and Davidson. However good the start was, Weaver is still looking for the squads to im­ prove.

Not only are the athletes put under a microscope, but their families are too. Players are being put between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, the players are not supposed to take money from agents or anyone else. On the other hand, athletes are not allowed to work a job in order to keep needed money in the first place. The NCAA rules pay no attention to the dirt-poor player from the projects whose parents may not be able to give him or her money. As a result, many of the players are either leaving early for the money or ignoring college. Kenny Ander­ son, who, in my estimation, was the great­ est point guard to ever play in the ACC, left after only his sophomore year to pay the bills. What to do about the rules? Seems simple: set a national standard for an allowance for athletes. For many schools, an extra two or three thousand dollars is a drop in the bucket. Or better yet, why not allow the athletes to get a job? What an idea. 4 Utah 3 Arrow head Por d, Anaheim, Calif.

Tor additional information, call On Thursday, March 12, Student Government Association (SGA) held a for­ mal debate for presidential candidates Ehren Meister and Jo Lee, and for vicepresidential candidates Brad Manning and Christy Barrick. The candidates answered questions from panelists and audience members alike. The panel consisted of News Edi­ tor for The Appalachian, Leslie Hitchcock, Residence Life Representative for Club Council, Karl Gaukstern, and Coffey Hall President Erin Atkins. In Round 1 of the debate, panelists were allowed to ask one question, and all candidates were given an oppurtunity to respond. Hitchcock asked the candidates whether having the back page of The Ap­ palachian reserved monthly for SGA up­ dates and newsletters was fair to other clubs and organizations on campus. Meister responded that it wasn't fair to other clubs, and that he would like to start round table discussions with stu­ dents on campus to relay issues and in­ formation to them instead of using the back page. Both Lee and Meister said that SGA should send out newsletters to students instead of using the back page of The Ap­ palachian for updates. Panelist Gaukstern asked the can­ didates for their reactions to the Women's Center that will open in the fall of '98. All candidates agreed that the Women's Center is a well-needed addition to Appalachian and is a great idea. Panelist Atkins questioned the can­ didates, "How can your ticket ensure that the student voice will continue to be heard?" Lee said, "I'm a people person, and our platform represents a diverse group of students." Meister said that he and Barrick want to get information out to the stu­ dents via the SGA webpage and allow stu­ dents to give feedback. Meister also said, "The more stu­ dents that vote, the more student voices that are heard." During Round 2, panelists asked specific questions for particular candi­ dates or tickets. Gaukstern asked Lee-Manning how they planned to reduce traffic fines as part of their platform. Lee said that he and Manning would like to see metered parking and a parking deck on campus for student use. Hitchcock asked the Meister-Barrick ticket if they thought their platform should revolve around more central issues such as parking and construction, which are bigger issues of concern to students. "We have done the research on is­ sues such as those, and we didn't want to put issues like that on our platform just to get votes," said Barrick. Gaukstern asked Meister-Barrick how they expected to get students and faculty to support the implementation of a new Academic Honor Code. Meister said that honesty is some­ thing that a student must uphold them­ selves to be fair. Barrick also said that an honor code will help clarify what plagia­ rism is and will help students to be hon­ est. Hitchcock asked Lee-Manning how they planned to encourage student vot­ ing. Lee replied that putting out signs and fliers encouraging students to vote is a great idea. Manning said that the can­ didates themselves need to tell students to vote. In Round 3, the panelists were al­ lowed to ask various questions to tickets of their choice. Gaukstern asked Meister and Barrick what the most important problem is here at ASU and how they plan to solve it. Meister said that student involve­ ment is a problem, and through using technology, such as web pages and e-mail, students can become more involved with the campus by keeping in touch with what's going on with SGA and other or- The Meister-Barrick ticket answers questions from the panel and audience (photo by Marvin Evans) see Debate page 3 Harlem Globetrotters perform in Varsity Gym Little hosts Festival *98 PBS phone-a-thon Katie Ward Staff Writer y jams.

Appalachian's own student body president, Fernando Little, made his tele­ vision debut as a spokesperson for the Univeristy of North Carolina Public Television's Festival '98. Festival '98 is a month-long pledge drive for the public television station. Their purpose is to solicit funds in order to keep the station up and running. The main initiative of this annual event is to "supplement funding to pur­ chase, produce and promote the program­ ming," said Annette Minozzi, talent coor­ dinator for Festival '98. UNC-TV is a non-profit organization receiving 35 percent of their revenue from viewers. Little, was featured during the children's programming segment in the Sesame Street and Barney time slots. His main objective was to motivate parents and viewers to call in and pledge. Little used his time to remind par­ ents that the programs were carefully re­ searched by specialists to determine whether they would be effective for chil­ dren. Many parents were unaware that so much thought and planning went into programming, Little said. Little also mentioned the mission statement of the public televsion network. They serve to provide quality educational and entertaining programs with a non­ commercial format. "We grew up watching many of these shows, and I think they have a mes­ sage to offer all ages," Little said. While on the air, Little took every possible opportunity to mention Appala­ chian State. He related the importance of pro­ grams such as Sesame Street to the stu. dents' generation. "I tried to mention Appalachian State as much as possible, and hopefully the school benefitted," Little said. Little admitted that this experience was a little fast-paced for his taste. "We did not have any cue cards and were required to speak off the top of our heads," Little said. "I was a little nervous, but by the fourth segment, it was under control." However, Minozzi spoke highly of Little's performance. "Fernando did a won­ derful job. He may have been nervous, but he came off as being under control," Minozzi said. "He had style, grace and was able to ad-lib very well." Little said that this was a beneficial use of his time, and it was nice to be treated like a star for a day. He also men­ tioned that the pledge phones rang while he was on the air. 'This made me feel pretty good," Little said. "It was a neat experience, and it is good to know that I was a part of keeping quality programming alive." "These programs relate to all of us because we were once viewers," Little said. 'They helped us to learn when we were growing up." UNC-TV hopes to raise about $2.5 million during the pledge drive. As of Saturday's broadcast, they had success­ fully raised around $1.3 million. "This pledge drive has been success­ ful in the past, and the goal has always been met," Minozzi said. �Page 2 The Student Media Boan Seeks Qualified Applicants for the for the 1998 - 1999 Academic Year The deadline for application is 5:00 p.m. Thursday, March 19, 1998.

Atkins asked Lee and Man­ ning how their platform serves to unite the entire campus. Lee-Manning replied that safety is a concern of all people, and that everyone working to im­ prove safety will unite the campus. The floor was then opened to audience members who asked questions concerning the weather policy, beautification of the cam­ pus, expansion of Mountaineer Es­ cort, Affirmative Action on campus for minorities, and Academic In­ tegrity. At the end of the debate, the candidates were given an oppor­ tunity to give closing statements. Lee said, "If I am elected, I will do what I can to make ASU a better place." Manning also said that if anyone has questions, feel free to come see him or Lee. Meister said that students should get out and vote. Partici­ pation needs to be increased here at ASU, he said. 'The more people that vote, the more voice SGA has," said Barrick. ffppletree ftpartments Jually Fireproofec •Individually Fireproofed 's Go For Mom Seal of Approval If you're looking for a nice, clean, affordable place to live close to campus, call Appalachian Management today. r \ They have a variety of apartments, houses, and condominiums even your mom would approve of.

But instead of receiving positive feedback 0ur choices for student body president and .president, it seems we are consistendy chasIby candidates and supporters who don't reour endorsement. This year, we decided to do something dif,t. We thought about not endorsing anybody, [hen we thought about the many pressing £5 that are not being addressed, and we felt need to do something. We just nominated Ives as you may have noticed from the i & Daniels" parephenalia around campus. Nominating ourselves was a joke. The ja plays a 'ar8e r°le in any election process we wanted to stay unbiased by not endorsjany of the candidates. We are not really enyourselves because we are a joke. Figurafly speaking of course. One of the reasons that we launched our ampaign" was to let the student body know that [have a sense of humor and the importance of mdpation not just in school but in life. The voter turn-out for SGA elections in the shave not been the most flattering numbers di less than 20 percent of the student body eig last year. That really should not surprise none because voters around the nation show tsame apathy every four years. Do you see a similarities? The sentiment is that government really mot do anything for the people because they 3support their own agendas. The reason SGA sttas successful as they would like to be, is raise they are only a recommending body, iff can only recommend plans. The chancellor p«o anything. That does not mean that SGA tite, it means they cannot be as influential iteirould like to be. The staff of The Appalachian just wanted more students get involved with the eleciften if they voted for two looney guys who l» chance to win. We just wanted to show ldents that they have to power to elect their classmates to high and honored positions l»i enable them to learn about government, 'positions that student leaders hold require a time and effort.

Despite self-evident humanitarian reasons for Besides the obvious consequence of interven­ not attacking Iraq, some would insist that decimat­ tion by allied nations and a probable escalation of ing Hussein's network of hiding places and caches of weapons is the only way to force him into submis­ sion, but there is another perspective that would per­ haps sway even the most stalwart warmonger from pursuing such a dangerous plan of action. Since the issue at hand is the result of military action toward Hussein, we must consider the probability of the de­ sired outcome and determine if there might be addi­ tional, previously unforeseen effects. We know that Hussein doesn't care about his people— he is respon­ sible for coundess acts of violence designed to in­ timidate his detractors and secure his absolute reign. He ruthlessly murders even his closest friends and confidants if he suspects them of subterfuge or dis­ sension. So, it's quite apparent that he doesn't care if his country is bombed, because, far from the attacks demoralizing him to the point of surrender, at most, he would lose some property—palaces, resorts, va­ cation homes, ships and the like. Therefore, the only people who would be significantly affected by U.S. military action would be the poor and starved chil­ dren and adults of whichever cities the U.S. decides to attack. There are effects far beyond the initial physi­ cal destruction of Iraqi cities. Besides the loss of life, there would be mass destruction of the land. While at first this might seem superficial and unimportant, upon second glance, this is an issue of primary con­ sideration. Imagine the charred remains of Iraq after an air strike. With broken soil and blackened vegeta­ tion, the very face of the land will be altered.

He gives all the credit to the members on the team and their hard work from day one. Calderon said that people kept telling him that there was no way this team was going to be as good as before, but they proved everyone wrong. "Everybody in this team is really motivated. They put hard work and a lot of dedication into it," Calderon said. Calderon went to advance camp in Washington and said that cadets from all over the country and Puerto Rico had heard of Appalachian State University because of the drill team. "When we go down to the na­ tional competition, we not only represent ROTC, we not only represent the Pershing Rifle Team, we represent Appalachian State University," Calderon said. After winning the national cham­ pionship again this year, Calderon said he feels that our drill team will be heard of all over the world Calderon said the Pershing Rifles have helped him become more confident in front of groups of people. "In the military, you have to march in formations to organize," Calderon said. "In order to do this, you have to be confident in yourself. Pershing Rifles have helped me to build that confi­ dence and I think it will help these in the team to build that confidence too. What the team did in competition and what we've done all year long is not easy to do," if you don't have confidence and trust in your partners and in your team," Calderon said. An example of that trust is dem­ onstrated in competition when the team has to throw the 10-pound rifles to other members in the team without looking. Calderon does want to be in the Army when he graduates. He already had been placed on active duty and has to re­ port to Oklahoma in October. "Everything that I've done, every sweat, every blood drop, every bit of pain has been to come back," he said. I've had more honors and more things that I'll never forget since being in the Pershing Rifles and this ROTC," Calderon said. Some of those honors for Calderon have been commanding the Veteran's Day Flag Raising Ceremony and the color guard at a Panthers football game this year. He said ROTC has given him opportunities he has only dreamed about. Calderon feels that Appalachian does not fully support and back the ROTC program here, but thinks things are slowly improving. "I feel the student body as a whole has a misunderstanding of ROTC, and the school is slowly working with ROTC for recognizing us," Calderon said. "We fight and defend the nation, the Army, as a whole for everybody. For the people who want to spite us, for people who want to do whatever." He said it takes a lot of dedica­ tion to wake up and run three or four miles at 6 a.m., do hundreds of push-ups, go to class, and participate in extracurricular activites such as the Pershing Rifles.

With all players healthy, the Apps have a more solidified unit, one that has experience playing together as well as con­ siderable depth. With good weather in the Boone area, the squad will be able to prac­ tice and play games on its home field, ac­ tivities that have not been possible for two years. The Mountaineers began their 1998 campaign with a tough schedule, the most difficult Head Coach Jim Morris said he has seen in his 25-year stint at Appala­ chian. Consisting entirely of road contests thus far, the schedule has included match­ ups with nationally-ranked powers Au­ burn, North Carolina State and Wake For­ est. The Mountaineers dropped a diree-game series to the Citadel this past weekend in Charleston, S.C. ASU's March 11 outing took place at N.C. State's Doak Field, where they fell to the Wolfpack 175. Appalachian built a foundation in league play by defeating East Tennessee State twice in a three-game series in their conference opener in Johnson City, Tenn. North Carolina handed ASU a 14-11 loss, and UNC-Asheville topped the Apps 19-3. Appalachian picked up non-con­ ference wins at Jacksonville State, Nor­ folk State and North Carolina A&T, but fell to Auburn and Wake Forest. The Apps currently post a record of 6-10, with a 2-4 mark in Southern Conference play. "We've played very well considering we still haven't practiced outside," said Morris. Six key players completed their careers at Appalachian in 1997. Pitchers Steven Fisher, Norm Vest and Dan Stutzman, who combined for half of the entire pitching staff's victories, will need to be replaced. The Moun­ taineers have also lost a large portion of their offense in the departures of Kenny Osborne, Brett Berrier and Pete Snitzer. Berrier and Snitzer hit .306 and .322 respectively for Appalachian last season. Osborne, a first team all-con­ ference selection, led the Mountain­ eers' offensive attack with a .360 bat­ ting average and 15 home runs. "Six very valuable people," said Morris, will not return for this season. Junior Shane Sigmon (.400 avg., 12 RBI), junior John Anderson (.263 avg., 6 RBI) and sophomore Andy Cheek (.286 avg., 11 RBI) will supply much of the Apps' offensive ar­ senal. Sigmon hit .339 last season and led the team in runs-batted-in with 45. Anderson and Cheek posted averages of .305 and .328 respectively in 1997. Freshman Steven Crater is among the team leaders in batting av­ erage with .325 and is tied for the lead in runs-batted-in with junior Mike Berrier with 13. Berrier, who redshirted in 1997, is hitting .327 and leads the Mountaineers in homers with three. As for Appalachian's pitching staff, sophomore Rodney Lemonds cur­ rently holds a 2-1 record, a team high. Chris Brown is 1-1, John Anderson is 1-1, and Jason Howell is 2-2. Hurlers Matt King, Ryan Kelly, Will Lathan, Ryan Haley and Andy Cheek have all seen time on the mound this season. Defensively, the Mountaineers hold a fielding percentage of .957 as a UPSET Justin Griffin Sports Editor The NCAA Tournament is the greatest sporting event of the year, and this year's crop of upsets is the proof. Who could have known that Valpraisio and Florida State, 13 and 12 seeds respectively, would be vying for the chance to get to the "Sweet 16?" I won­ der how many people had Rhode Island defeating Kansas in their pools? Who were the people that had Richmond slated to make it past the first round? After last year's loss to Arizona in the tournament, I thought Kansas should have dropped their basketball program al­ together. Now I know quite a few people who agree. With games against nationally ranked squads from Auburn, N.C. State and Wake Forest, the Mountc 1998 schedule is the toughest they have faced in years. team, committing 25 errors. With several players capable of playing multiple positions, Appalachian's lineup is one that varies. In the infield, John Anderson has been playing first base. Second base has been played by Brad Buff and Chris Behne; Buff, along with Travis Pitman, has also spent time at shortstop. Berrier has gotten the nod at third base. Crater and Matt Dalton are both experi­ enced behind the plate. Sigmon, Cheek and Lemonds, in addition to Andy Suttle and John Hill have comprised the Mountaineers' out­ field. Cheek, Behne and Crater have also cycled through the position of designated hitter. The Southern Conference, with the loss of Marshall and the additions of UNC-Greensboro and Wofford, will have a new face in 1998. "It's going to be a strong league this year," Morris said, "two A healthy lineup and we adequate for practices and home j: could propel Appalachian into the i echelon of the Southern Confereno season. 1998 has been the year of the underdog for the NCAA tournament their first-round game. Austin stung the Huskies for 43 points. Richmond seems to upset every team they play in the NCAA tournament. A couple of years ago, Syra­ cuse, then a 15 seed, was a victim of the Spiders. Years earlier, Richmond defeated a highly-ranked Auburn team. No one remembers any of the players from that Spiders' squad, but every­ one seems to know one of the players from that year's Auburn team, Charles Barkley. defeating Massachusetts, Detroit defeat­ ing St. Johns, and Temple losing to West Virginia. The only seven seed in the tournament to survive the first round was Indiana. Tar Heel fans should hope that Arizona gets booted out before the Final Four. Along with the major upsets, there are the minor upsets, like St. Louis 1 Kansas 16 Prairie View 1 Kansas Perhaps one of the most disturbing losses was the thrashing that West Virginia put on Temple in the first round. Of course, with the up­ sets, there are the teams that seeded way too high. Ultimately, I couldn't see Cincinnati making it past the second round. Cincinnati came from Conference USA, and it doesn't seem that any C-USA team deserved a seed higher than a five. More than likely, South Carolina was put on a pedestal that they didn't deserve to be on. Throughout the season, the Gamecocks managed to barely pull off wins. South Carolina should have been a number five or six. This year, it seems there are five powerful teams in the Nation in Duke, Kentucky, Carolina, Arizona and Kansas. The rest of the teams are average. Duke, perhaps, is the weakest number one in the tournament, and it's likely that they won't make the Final Four. Duke will either face Michigan or Kentucky in deciding whether they go to the final four. Conversely, Carolina is in the cup­ cake division of the tournament. The Tarheels will have the task of defeating 1998 Men's National Basketball Many people had Xavier going at least to the round of eight. Or better yet, who expected South Carolina to be watch­ ing the tournament from their homes? None of the experts expected it. I know I didn't. These upsets seem to be indig­ enous only to college athletics. For in­ stance, can you imagine the Denver Nug­ gets beating the Chicago Bulls in the play­ offs and sending the Bulls home after a game? What about the Seattle Seahawks defeating the Green Bay Packers in the Superbowl? The answer seems to be a re­ sounding "no" every time. You never see incredible upsets in professional sports. I know for a fact that Chicago is going to win the NBA play-offs this year, and I don't feel the need to watch. If Rony Seikaly had actually reported to Utah, I would give Utah a chance, but without Seikaly, Chicago is the logical pick. No matter how small or insignifi­ cant the college is, they pick up a great deal of exposure due to the tournament that normally wouldn't come their way. Until Sunday, I knew about Valpraisio, but I had no idea where it was. Now I do. (For those of you who are curious, it's in Indi­ ana.) It's the performances by players that no one knows.

This Referendum is to implement an Academic Honor Pledge into ASU's system. Depending on the outcome of the vote, an Academic Honor Code will be implemented next academic year. The code defines academic dishonesty at ASU. The University's current system of dealing with academic dishonesty on campus has not been effective in the past. Consequences of breaking the code have not been determined at this time. SGA supports the Academic Honor Code, as well as the administration. There will be a copy of the Academic Honor Pledge at the voting tables on March 18 and 19. We encourage everyone to come out and vote. Voting will take place in the lobbies of the residence halls from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. for on-campus students and at Raley, Walker, and the Student Union from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for all off-campus students.

It requires the completion of several "behind the scenes" tasks that usually do not bring a lot of recognition. This is why I believe Appalachian is fortunate to have over 70 dedicated senators and 13 hard-working cabinet members. They are definitely not working for great pay and instant stardom; they are working for you. I want to assure the student body that your student government is here and working on your behalf. Student government was one of the first organizations to respond to the ticketing situation and was instrumental in convincing the ticket office to void the tickets issued earlier in the year. There is also a group of senators working on legislation that would advise the administration to revise the inclement weather policy. Local landlords are calling the recent SGA sponsored apartment fair, "the best ever." Several SGA members are making history by writing an academic honor code that will be presented to students in the upcoming weeks. The monthly breakfast series with the Chancellor continues to be a thriving success. In a few weeks students will see SGA/CRSA suggestion boxes in every residence hall. Once a month delegates from Appalachian's SGA go to Chapel Hill to represent our campus at the UNC Association of Student Governments meeting. There are several pieces of legislation in progress right now ranging from a process for book loans to expand­ ing the Mountaineer Escort route. It has been a pleasure serving you. Please help us to continue to serve you by communicating with your senators and bringing us your ideas and concerns. I also want to encourage all of you to take an active part in this year's election for President and Vice President. Take advantage of opportunities to get to know the candidates and when the time coes, go out and vote. The responsibility of choosing next year's leadership lies with you.

Staff Writer SGA candidates present platforms at meeting Leslie Hitchcock News Editor The candidates for the Appalachain State University Student Government As­ sociation (SGA) presidential and vicepresidential elections presented their plat­ forms to the student senate Tuesday night. The candidates gave opening state­ ments to briefly explain their platform goals and ideas. Presidential candidate Jo Lee and vice-presidential candidate Brad Manning addressed the senate first under their slo­ gan "Concluding a Century of Excellence." "We feel that we are the represen­ tative voice of the students," said Lee. The Lee-Manning ticket platform goals include moving spring break to the second week of March, improving the inclem­ ent weather policy, increasing the number of home football games and moving them to later in the day, and implementing internet registration. "We'd like to increase the interaction with students, and that will make us good candi­ dates," said Manning. Following the Lee-Man­ ning ticket were presidential candidate Ehren Meister and vice-presidential candidate Christy Barrick, who are running under the slogan "Meeting the Demands of the Future." The Meister-Barrick ticket broke their platform goals down into improvements, security concerns and SGA student sup­ port. They propose to make fax machines, color printers and color copies available to stu­ dents; to increase card swiping for laun­ dry machines; to make picnic tables and recreational equipment accessible to resi­ dence halls; to increase class availability and increase voting during elections. Meister-Barrick plan to implement a foot and bike patrol and legal counsel for students, and introduce sidewalks and bikeways. After the tickets formally introduced their platforms, the floor was opened to senators to ask general questions. Questions ranged from plans to de­ crease the animosity between Boone and ASU, to the tickets' belief in the feasibility feasibility of their platforms. "Internet registration is already in the works," Lee said. "It might be imple­ mented by fall 1999," he said. "To decrease animosity between Boone and Appalachian, we'd like to try a breakfast with (Boone Mayor Velma) Burney and Borkowski to keep students involved with the community," said Meister. The candidates were then asked specific questions about their individual platforms. Following the question and answer period, the tickets closed their session with a one-minute statement. "Get out there and vote," said Meister. "We want to increase the student involvement," he said. Lee-Manning echoed the MeisterBarrick sentiment. "We just want to en­ courage people to vote," said Lee. Elections are March 18-19. 4 Above: "Meeting the Demands of the Future" The Christy Barrick and Ehren Meister ticket addresses SGA on their platform goals (photo by Nikki Wilson) Left: "Concluding a Century of Excellence" Candidates Jo Lee and Brad Manning field questions from the student senate Tuesday night (photo by Nikki Wilson) �inclu.

The Alternative Spring Break program was an unforget­ table experience for the 14 stu­ dents who volunteered in Wash­ ington, D.C. from Saturday, Feb. 28, to Saturday, March 7. Alternative Spring Break is sponsored by the Appalachian and the Community Together (ACT) office and was led by Director of the ACT office, Peggy Setzer, and Student Volunteer Coordinator for the ACT office, Emily Danahey. According to Danahey, Al­ ternative Spring Break gives stu­ dents a chance to volunteer, which raises levels of awareness on so­ cial and environmental issues. "It just makes life so much more meaningful when you know you're doing something good, and you're learning at the same time," said Danahey. According to Danahey, the ACT office recieved 30 applica­ tions for the Alternative Spring Break program, which was the most ever submitted. Danahey said she wanted to choose students who had room to grow and would be impacted by the program. All week students worked NEED CASH? WE BUY & SELL USED CD'S 262-5222 / Walk to classes.

They did everything from working with the blind to listening to environ­ mental aides lobby in the Senate. Students talked with the blind at the Columbia Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired about their lifestyle and how they cope with being blind. To under­ stand what it's like being blind, students were blindfolded and es­ corted through a building, accord­ ing to Danahey. "Just because we volun­ teered, doesn't mean that we didn't have fun," said Danahey. On their free time, students went sightseeing, visiting places such as, the Washington Monu­ ment, the Roosevelt Memorial, the Smithsonian and the Holocaust Museum. At the end of each day, the students participated in reflective exercises, according to participant Robert Tobin. A different student led the exercises each night, and students discussed their volunteer experiences. Students also made mail­ boxes out of construction paper and wrote notes to one another to remember each other and strengthen friendships, said Danahey. Alternative Spring Break was a wonderful experience, ac­ cording to Tobin. "It's the best Spring BreakI ever had," said Tobin.

Page 5 The following article is scheduled for publication in the April newsletter of the Hubbard Center for Fac­ ulty and Staff Support. By arrangement with the Hubbard Center, it appears also in this edition of The Appalachian because of its relevance to issues current among the student body. The great English moralist Samuel Johnson observed in 1759 that "integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integ­ rity is dangerous and dreadful." Each of these ele­ ments, integrity and knowledge, lies at the heart of the academic enterprise. Sadly, however, recent evi­ dence from universities across the nation indicates that increasing numbers of students are willing to forsake both. According to research carried out on 26 campuses by the Center for Academic Integrity in College Park, Md.,nearly 80% of undergraduates ad­ mitted to having engaged in at least one act of cheat­ ing. On campuses where specific honor codes were not in effect, from one-fifth to one-fourth of respon­ dents confessed to having cheated onmore than three examinations, thereby qualifying as "chronic cheat- In such an atmosphere (and considering that several random interviews conducted on our own campus by the students newspaper during fall 1997 revealed some attitudes toward academic dishonesty which can most charitably be described as "casual"), it is profoundly important for Appalachian State University to reaffirm its commitment to the prin­ ciples of academic integrity. The Faculty Senate and the Student Government Association took a hopeful step toward this objective last semester when they jointly passed resolutions recommending the estab­ lishment of an Academic Integrity Committee con­ sisting of faculty, student and administrative repre­ sentatives. That body, and subcommittees developed by it, are now working to identify the most promis­ ing means of reaching the goal. One of these groups, predominandy student in membership but with die assistance of the University Attorney's Office, is ex­ ploring possible alternatives or arguments to the present Academic Integrity Code. A central question for their deliberations: Should Appalachian adopt an honor code or honor pledge to which every student would be expected to subscribe? However much we of the administration and faculty might welcome it, the students themselves must provide the initial im­ petus for such a change. It is of course essential that any System for pro­ viding and penalizing instances of academic dishon­ esty be firmly grounded on the concept of due pro­ cess. Indeed, an instructor who undertakes to im­ pose penalties for alleged cheating without the fol­ lowing the steps set out by the Code runs the risk of forfeiting state legal support in the event that the accused student undertakes litigation in the matter. Some faculty, perhaps understandably, regard the current system as unnecessarily cumbersome. Still other faculty—not to mention a large proportion of the student body—are simply unaware that it is there at all. Whether or not we ultimately make signifi­ cant changes in the mechanism, it is clear that we must do a far better job of educating the campus com­ munity as to its existence and its requirements. A second subcommittee, this one composed primarily of faculty, is addressing itself to that need as well as to the general subjects of helping instructors learn how to discourage cheating and providing them with appropriate administrative support when they come forward with a charge of dishonesty. One likely reason for the evident epidemic on American campuses is that, as teachers, many of us regard student cheating as both distasteful to con­ template and professionally demeaning to combat. Holding with Marcus Aurelius that "It is better for a man to beupright that to be keptupright," we take no pleasure in functioning as classroom police. Quite rightly, we would prefer that our own university achieve its rededication to academic integrity through the bringing of positive, constructive forces to bear on institutional culture and individual consciences. I believe that each faculty member can contribute to such a force by making plain to every class his or her own expectations with regard to ethical scholarly behavior. Our students must realize that an action which lessens the worth of one Appalachian degree in some measure devalues them all. Cheating epidemics begin in the public school systems Justin Bell Columinst In my high school everybody cheated, espe­ cially the people on the honor roll. That was really all that high school measured: the ability to get drunk over the weekend and still be smooth enough to show up Monday morning to cheat on the test. The cur­ rent public education system is based on grades, not ability, knowledge or skill. Schools excel in showing students stuff that other people figured out, while completely failing to explain how it works. Then stu­ dents are tested on that information, and the mo­ ment the test is over,the information on it will never be mentioned again. Tests test kids' abilities to take tests. Because education is set up this way, children cheat, grow up and cheat better. If school were re­ ally about learning, there would be minimal cheat­ ing. People want to learn when the information is relative. How many times have you heard anyone forbidden in public school.

Amanda C. Sawyer ASU Box 10434 Who controls cable? To the Editor: Last month, I wrote a re­ sponse pertaining to the rebroadcasting of the television signals. Well, about two weeks ago, a flier was sent around from the Hous­ ing Operations Office. This flier pertained to changes that Helicon was making to the lineup. This, in fact, is only a partial truth. The flier gives the impression that Helicon is responsible for all the program­ ming we receive at ASU.I stopped by Helicon, talked to a represen­ tative and got a copy of the actual changes. It does not include any­ where in Helicon's lineup pro­ gramming for SCOLA on Channel 11 or occasional university broad1 casting on Channel 5. In fact, the only channel listed for ASU « aanneUa ^ listed channel 2 is as a community channel, this could also entail things for the uni­ versity. Channel 6 is no big loss, if they use it for university program­ ming Why are they giving us the impression that Helicon is respon­ sible for all the program switcharounds? Why can't those respon­ sible accept the responsibility for their actions? Helicon did make the change in adding QVC to the lineup (a home shopping network) on Channel 22. It sure beats most of what the university offers. It's bad enough they take this unwel­ come action upon themselves to just cut and paste whenever they please, but to lose their integrity on top of it. Who bears the brunt of the loss of integrity?

Or more accurately, the government is hell-bent on wasting children's time.Ikeep seeing these billboards that say, "NO EDUCATION = NO iJstli FUTURE." This means, "If you have no education, your life is pointless, and you are worthless. You might as well not even have a future, just kill yourself now." School is not the meaning of life. There are tons of suicides every year, most of them by educated people. Wonder what they learned in school? It's true that schools ••• •• v • •> -">• produce doctors and lawyers, but they also produce drug dealers, thieves and racists. School is not the only way to make a life for yourself. True wisdom is never taught in school. This country has become a factory which makes kids that are all alike. They all know the same stupid facts, and they all know nothing. Each year of public school is spent undoing the damage of the previ­ ous year. I was taught in kinder­ garten to spell words like they sound. They actually marked it wrong whenI spelled it right. But in first grade, it was marked wrong if I spelled it the way it sounded. We were taught Columbus discov­ ered America. Later we were taught he didn't really discover America, but some crappy little is­ land, and nobody even knows which one. In high school, you can't use profanity. In college, my professors use profanity. Sex edu­ cation—that's a hoot. If anything, the kids should teach the adults. Think about it. How about this: Don't tell the kids a damn thing. We haveni figured it out, so telling themwtj we think just corrupts them. Here is the summary;; more concrete terms. Educations about bureaucracy. Educations about following the rules thi: make no sense, and that's ap priate, because the ones sooer. makes aren't much better. <*•> '-•* AUDITIONS TWEETSIE RAILROAD ENTERTAINMENT '98 • Singers • Cloggers ELECTION DATES: MARCH 18th and 19th DEBATE: MARCH 12 Calloway Peak Sp t ott iSt Elections : Campaigning will begin March 9 and will end March 19!

A couple of blocks down the street, Murphy's offers two types of wings; barbeque and buffalo wings. The barbeque wings are undoubtedly the best barbeque wings in Boone.

One of the better aspects about the wings at Caribbean is the size Hot page 9 CD Reviews HUM stays true to its musical roots with new album Nathan Hall Staff Writer Many good bands go unnoticed. Not unappreci­ ated, but kept in the background. For some reason, their sound does not capture the attention of every man, woman and child in America. Some would say this is a good thing. One such band is Hum, a quartet from Illinois. Hum consists of Jeff Dempsey, Tim Lash, Bryan St. Pere and Matt Talbott. These guys have been around for years. In 1995 they released the album "You'd Prefer an Astronaut?" on RCA records. It ruled. The songs were heavy at times, soft at others. The lyrics were quirky, often deliv­ ered with an apathetic tone that contrasted dramatically with the intensity of the music. At other times, Matt Talbott's voice sounded like a freighttrain derailing. It was an in­ teresting mix. Hum's new album "Downward is Heavenward" flows well from beginning to end. The songs blend together to form a complete work, rather than going in lots of different directions. This CD is good from start to finish, but several songs stand out from the rest. High­ lights include track 1, "Isle of The Cheetah," track 5, "After­ noon With The Axolotls," and track ten, "The Scientists." Keep an open mind when listen­ ing to this CD. It may not be what you expect from Hum. It doesn't sound like their previous work, but it's natural for a good band to progress. It is refreshing to see bands on major labels stay true to their musical roots. It's obvious that a lot of time and money went into this album, but it still has a raw feel to it. Hum has, to this point held on to their musical integrity. �The ^PP^hian Page 8 SUMMER JOBS Harris Teeter Tired of Looking? m Your Neighborhood Food Market Sale Starts Wednesday, March Uth HOLTON MOUNTAIN RENTALS Well, you can stop right now.

Bric-a-Bracs, while it has a few really hot wings, just doesn't have the taste that Caribbean does. It s hottest wing is pretty miser­ able, but it doesn't compare to Caribbean's hottest.

Wings from page 7 decent, but the reason for going to Murphy's should be the barbeque or the Jamaican wings.

The buffalo wings come in three different flavors, hot, mild and You'll Pay Tomorrow. The Flamingo wings are supposed to be sweet-and-sour, but the flavor is so overwhelming, that they don't taste sweet or sour, just good.

Eating crackers does help, but make sure there is not any salt on them. Salt is like gasoline when it comes to hot foods.

But tournament MVP Ben Ebong quickly doused the Mountaineers flame of hope on the next posession, when he hit an inside jumper with 51 ticks left, that made it a five-point game and forced Ap­ palachian into the hopeless fouling game. When it was all over, the Wildcats did what they had been picked to do by the conference media and the coaches in the preseason: go to their first big dance probably that instead of squabbling over petty issues such as basketballs or vying for seedings, these two teams had their seasons on the line. In fact, both coaches were very complimentary of each other for the first time all season after the game. "(Appalachian Coach) Buzz Peterson andI, despite what people might try to conjecture from the basketball inci­ dent with Nike and Wilson or whatever, Buzz Peterson andIare great friends and have great repsect for each other," said Wildcat Coach Bob McKillop, who has earned his first trip to the NCAA Tournament in nine years at Davidson. "I think the fact that his team and our team mirror each other in many ways and that we're as competitive as we are, I think that's indicative that this will be a terrific rivalry for many years," added McKillop. "My hat goes off to Davidson," said Peterson.'They'll do a good job of representing the Southern Conference in the NCAA Tour­ nament." Appalachian, which finished its season with a 21-8 record, their best since the 1978-79 NCAA appearance season, and an RPI ranking of 112, failed to im­ press the NIT selection committee enough to win a bid in their tournament. After the Davidson loss, Peterson said that the team would be more than happy to play in the NIT, and McKillop actually endorsed the Mountaineers. To get to the final, Davidson had to stave off upstart Georgia Southern, who Appalachian fans will recall almost beat the Mountaineers back in January, and then take care of The Citadel. The Moun- "Buzz Peterson and I are great friends and have great repsect for each other.' jj Davidson Coach Bob McKillop since 1986. Ebong, along with being honored as the tournament MVP was a first-team member of the all-conference team, along with teammates Stephen Marshall and Donelly. Phillips and Kareem Livingston of Appalachian took the other two spots on the first team. Patterson was named to the second team along with his Davidson counterpart at po'int guard, Ali Ton. Despite the fact that it was played in the cavernous Coliseum, which is hard to fill for non-ACC events, AppalachianDavidson III had a much more electric feel to it than the first two meetings between these bitter rivals. The reason for that was Marshall Phillips finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds against Davidson in the season finally (photo by Justin Griffin) taineers will now look to the future and try to figure out how to replace seniors Kareem Livingston, Tige Darner and Clint Crosston, who contributed greatly to the team in their four years. Peterson has already signed three recruits for next season and sheduled some big games with teams such as North Carolina, Georgia, Minnesota and UNCCharlotte. ady Apps end season with a loss to Davidson omasson A dismal first half of play on be- half of ASU proved to be the difference in the contest. Davidson quickly jumped out to an 11-4 advantage three minutes into the game. However, Appalachian scored five straight points in the next minute of action to close to within two. Davidson answered back with a 13-5 run over a seven-minute stretch and picked up their first double-digit lead at 24-14 with 9:12 to go in the first half. The Mountaineers were only able to cut the lead under 10 once more after a Tiffany Chappell bucket with 8:12 left in the half, to make the score 25-16. From that point on, Davidson never looked back, as they went on a 16-6 run to finish the half with a 19-point halftime advantage at 41-22. The Lady Wildcats had the hot hand from the field in the first half, con­ necting on 54 percent of their shots in­ cluding 8-for-12 from three-point land. Appalachian was only able to hit 29 per­ cent from the field and one of six from behind the arc. "We didn't execute well in the first half," said ASU Head Coach Barbie Breedlove. ASU could only get as close as 12 points, as they outscored Davidson by three in the second half, 41-38. "Our lack of execution and their excellent execution in the first half caused a deficit we couldn't overcome," Breedlove said. "We got way behind and we tried to play on emotion. When you do that, you find yourself in a hole," said Breedlove. The Mountaineers were led by sophomore Noel Dolan with 14 points, hitting five of 16 from the field. Fresh­ man Natasha Lettsome came off the bench to score 13 and snag 10 boards. Another freshman, Jamie Gagliano had 11 points and 8 rebounds. The other player in double figures was Chappell with 10. A big letdown in the offensive category for the Mountaineers was lead­ ing scorer Beth Schoolfield. The Greens­ boro native only hit three of her 15 at­ tempts and had her lowest scoring out­ put of the season at six points. However, Schoolfield was able to grab nine re­ bounds. Lone Mountaineer senior Rachel Olander finished with six points in her fi­ nal collegiate contest on three of seven shooting. One bright spot for Appalachian was their lack of turnovers. Throughout the season, Coach Breedlove has said it was the team's goal to get the turnovers under 15, and on this Friday night, they did. The Mountaineers committed a season-low 13 turnovers. Aside from O'Brien's 25 point to­ tal, Davidson had two other players to score in double figures. Jennie Vanlerberghe had12 and Jennifer Sanborn chipped in 10. "We gave a fantastic team effort tonight," said Davidson Head Coach John Filar."We came out on fire and didn't stop shooting all game," he added. Appalachian concluded their sea­ son at 9-17, with a sixth place finish in the Southern Conference. The finish was one spot better than the Mountaineers were picked by the media overall. However, the season mark was the worst for the Mountaineers since the 1991-92 campaign where they finished at 9-18. The Lady Wildcats finished their season in the semifinals of the tournament with a loss to eventual champion, UNCGreensboro. Davidson went 18-9. pants. Writer The Appalachian State Lady lineers' season came to an abrupt iion as they fell in the quarterfinal )f the Southern Conference Tourt to Davidson, 79-63. The game marked the second six days that the two teams had big key to this Lady Wildcat win it as it had been in the previous 5 a week earilier, Jennifer O'Brien. O 'Brien lit ASU up for 25 points all scorers en route to a record8 night. In only her second year ' at Davidson, she has already into ninth place all-time in career at Davidson. O'Brien also set a eason scoring record (444) and d the single-season three-point (44). NCAA Tournament. Florida State should have never recieved a bid to the "Big Dance." This team lost in the play-in game of the ACC Tournament, lost seven of its last nine games and lost 10 conference games. Whatever happened to the days when the NCAA selection committee ex­ pected a team to finish with at least an made it into the tournament off of the strength of wins over Connecticut and Arizona. Unfortunately, it looks like the Seminoles have won little since. ing against Division I opponents. However, the committee did make some good decisions. Giving De­ troit the at-large bid was the right thing to do, and will only enhance the first round match-ups with an upset over St. Johns. Perhaps Utah shouldn't have dropped down to a three seed after their loss to UNLY but the drop at least makes sense. Princeton, who will be facing UNLV in the first round, picked up a number five seed for their highest tour­ nament seedings ever. Personally, I thought Princeton would pick up a four or a three, but I understand why Princeton picked up the five. Ivy League competition is not really all that impressive. IT SEEMS, going into the tour­ nament, that the strongest overall con­ ference is the Southeastern Conference. Of course, the ACC has Duke and Caro­ lina, who could have breezed through SEC competition, but after Duke and Carolina, the drop-off in talent is incredible. Florida State and Clemson, in all likelihood won't make it past the second round, while it seems that Ole Miss, Kentucky and South Carolina will most definitely make the round of 16. It also seems that the SEC has five teams that actually belong in the tourna­ ment. No one can rightfully say that any SEC team in the tournament should not be there. )enied Justin Griffin Sports Editor Never mind Penn State's inferior rating in many of the top independent RPI ratings. Penn State's highest ranking was at 120 while their lowest ranking was 124. Appalachian's lowest ranking was 112, while their highest ranking was 108. Rider, who is Penn State's oppo­ nent in the first round of the tournament, is ranked any­ where from 107113. W (have suspected it all along, and . w 11 f°r fact.

For those of "Apparently NIT officials saw Penn State's Big Ten affilliation and col­ lectively wet their pants." does Rider have to go to Penn State for the first round game to play a team that is nearly 10 spots worse than they are? Does this mean that if Ap­ palachian State would have made the field of 32 for the NIT, the game would have been played at Varsity Gym? From the outset, it seemed clear that the NIT wasn't going to take a team with an RPI lower than 96 after last year's showing. Before the pairings were re­ leased, it also seemed that ASU's 112 rank­ ing was too low. Maybe Appalachian's ranking wasn't low enough. THINK THE PARODY stops with the NIT? Take a closer look at the even record in conference play and to fin­ ish the season winning most of its games? Wake Forest and Georgia Tech have no business in the NCAA Tourna­ ment, but if the committee lets Florida State in, the door should be open for Geor­ gia Tech and Wake. Was it the scheduling that kept these teams out? Wake played the second tough­ est conference schedule in the nation, and it looks like they shot themselves in the foot. Georgia Tech also played a formi­ dable off-season schedule. For Florida State, it looks like they you who have read this far and don't know much about Prairie View, let me inform you. Prairie View has the lowest RPI rat­ ing of any team to ever make the NCAAs, with a rating of 263. ESPN has made Prairie View the topic of many features about their losing streaks, which have reached epic propor­ tions in football and basketball. In football, Prairie View hasn't won a game in nearly five years, while the basketball team has only managed to do slightly better, with a 13-15 overall record, and only nine of those wins com­ �The Appalach lianl2M, Page 12 i PPALACHIAN NEWS A Women's Leadership Conference Weekly Crime Report Datefsl Upcoming Workshops Interviewing Wednesday, March 18, 7:00 p.m., Calloway Peak Room, Student Union Fire Fire Alarm 2 4 Harassing Phone Calls 3 1 7 1 4 Posession of Stolen Property Stolen Vehicle Suspicious Activity Vandalism Coltrane Hall Broyhill Music Center I.G.

Bliss claims that members of the sorority are responsible for leaving boxes, liquor bottles and other trash that bore the sorority's name and sym­ bol, in the non-enclosed section of the cemetery that sits behind Cone Hall adjacent to Locust Street, some time Thursday night. Bliss met with the entire sorority in Cone on Friday about the matter. The sorority offered to clean up the entire cemetery and raise aware­ ness about the historic site by putting some infor­ mation and pictures of it in their display case in the student union even though it was only five members of the sorority acting on their own who left the trash there. However, Bliss still chose to appeal to higher powers and file a littering complaint with the police. I told them what they had done was wrong, and I thought they should be punished for it," said Bliss.

"We're more than willing to help out," added Lawson. The sorority has already cleaned up the trash, as well as the rest of the cemetery. Jim Street, Assistant Director at the Cen­ ter for Student Involvement and Leadership, who handles Greek affairs, said, "As an administrator and an educator, I want students to understand personal responsibility, and that's what happened. So I am pleased with the way it was handled." "The positive side of this is that the orga­ nization wants to raise awareness for the area," said Street. He indicated that the sorority still plans to get involved in clean-up projects and also wants to work with other members of the school in rais­ ing awareness about the historic cemetery. The sorority claims that the five members responsible for the litter were not involved in an official function at the time, and that they did not even know the area they were in was a part of the cemetery, since there are very few graves in that section. Bliss' complaint does not list Chi Omega as being responsible for the litter, and there is little chance that any charges will be pressed against the sorority.

Uncle Appalachian's allsport star: Olander One copy free 26,1998 the News Sports; Christy Barrack and Ehren Meister meet the SGA (photo by Marvin Evans Alumnus donates land, ancient artifacts found Ric Beard Staff Writer Land donated by an Appalachian State University alumnus has yielded pre­ historic treasures for the Department of Anthropology. The land was donated by Appa­ lachian graduate, Robert Gilley. The land had been in his family for some time, before his grandparents sold some of it, said Gilley. After buying the land back, Gilley wasn't sure what he would do with it. Gilley's son suggested that he donate the land to his alma mater. The rest is history, ancient history. The land, which was originally donated to the Department of Biology, has turned up prehistoric artifacts discovered by the Department of Anthropology. "We have found four or five pre­ historic sites up there," said Associate Pro­ fessor in the Department of Anthropology Thomas Whyte. Whyte dates the artifacts between 6000 and 4000 B.C.E. The sites were "probably hunting camps and hunting stand sites used by Native Americans," said Whyte. Whyte said that the Department of Anthropology uncovered thousands of artifacts with limited excavations. Among the artifacts recovered from the sites were spear points, knives and a stone pestle. Whyte said that the artifacts were probably left by "migratory hunters and gatherers who were there on a seasonal basis, who may have only spent two or three days there at a time." Whyte said that wandering onto sites filled with artifacts is anything but rare in Watauga County. "We walk over them every day and don't even realize it," he said. Whyte, who started exploring the property in the 1995-96 academic year, said that the departmental goal is to es­ tablish a primitive living skills program called the "Time Tbnnel," which will edu­ cate students as to what life was like 5,000 years ago. The biology department is also making use of the land. Anthropology student, Taylor McDonald is studying the land to see if it is viable to grow hops there. Doug Meikle, chairman of the Department of Biology, said that the de­ partment is hoping to find out if hops could be an alternate crop for farmers in the area. Meikle said that the Department of Biology is also interested in studying the reforestation of land that has been cleared of its trees. According to Whyte, the land has been a valuable resource for archeological research. "We really appreciate the fact that Gilley dpnated that property so that we could do research there," said Whyte.

This leader broke nonaggression pacts and invaded other countries. And the world watched in silence. World powers practiced appeasement in their dealings with this leader and et him take one nation after another; they thought that by allowing him to do so he would be satisfied with a few pieces of territory. He made raids on his own people and everyone was afraid of the ominous knock on the door that came in the middle of the night. It wasn't until the invasion of Poland that the world woke up and took action. Thus is the story of Adolf Hitler's litde role in World War II. I have always been taught that we learn from our mistakes. Even though the United States can be considered "the school bully waiting for challengers on the playground" (The Appalachian, Feb. 17), we must look at our past mistakes in order to deal with current situations. We closed our eyes to Hilter; we can no longer close our eyes to world dictators who threaten not only their own populations but also the world in general. Saddam Hussein has been a challenger on the world playground for too long. Why wait until he breaks even greater world laws to set him straight?

Appease­ ment didn't work in World War II— and it's definitely not going to work now. If we don't flex our military muscles, who will? Under the current Opera­ tion Desert Thunder, the U.S. military has over 30,000 person­ nel in the Persian Gulf, including the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet, which consists of 20 ships, 103 strike aircraft and 19,000 sailors and marines. All await a possible con­ frontation in the Gulf, and there are another three ships with 4,000 members on the way, according to website www.navy.mil/. There are 16 nations ready to support us in a military strike against Iraq. We are lucky to come from a generation that has never experienced a de­ pression or a war where thousands of lives are lost in a single day. And because we are lucky, we are prone to closing our apathetic eyes and pretending that war, in all cases, is unnecessary. I will be the first to agree that war is not a good thing. But it is necessary when it comes to world aggressors who won't back down. Stop and think of the student population here at ASU, then double it. That's how many lives we have sitting in the Gulf. These men and women have families that they haven't seen in months, and this situation may prolong their stays to a year or more. They risk their lives to provide the v/orld a sliver of a feeling of safety against world leaders who don't play by the rules. General Kofi Annan reached an agreement with Iraqi President Saddam Hussein for unrestricted inspec­ tions of suspected biological and chemical warfare sites. This agreement is currently being reviewed by the United Nations Security Council in New York and War is necessary when it comes to world aggressors who won't back down. is pending approval. However, this date of agreement is also sym­ bolic for another reason in this crisis. Feb. 22 is also the date of the commencement of a mass exodus of people from Israel seeking a refuge in the event of combat. This exodus, paired with the hundreds of proIraqi riots in neighboring countries such as Jordan, gives us a very serious message. Is there a war bigger than anything we could ever imagine in the making? If we look back to our past, we know that this is highly possible. And we ask ourselves: "Isn't this a convenient diversion of our President from the current sex scan­ dal?" Sure it is. But I seriously don't think that Bill called his old buddy Saddam and asked him to cause a commotion that allows for the risk of thousands of American lives.

Make it as slow and pain­ ful as possible. Feel like killing yourself? No? Let's have a cigarette while we think about it. The truth is, smoking is sui­ cide. And if you just think about it, that's already illegal in this country. Ciga­ rettes, when used as directed, kill. So they, like automatic weapons, should never be used on anyone. Smoking is illegal, for some people. As­ sault is also illegal, and since secondhand smoke hurts people, anyone who smokes in public is conceivably committing assault. Thus, they are breaking the law twice. to do is not stab yourself in the groin. Why do I even have to say it?

Well, you're in luck. My grand­ mother died last Monday. She was a lifelong smoker, so ladies, I know exactly where you're headed. Her body could no longer supply oxygen to her legs; they swelled up and died, but not before her feet turned black. Cancer swelled out of her neck as well as out of her stomach and from under one of her arms. There were wounds on her face from the radiation used to fight the cancer. Then one of her arms died The problem with smoking is that it is still socially acceptable. It never ceases to amaze me how simply re­ phrasing a concept completely changes the way people feel about it. Accuse a parent of caring more about a car than a child and he or she will reply that nothing could be further from the truth. Of course, the child means more than the car. If a total stranger walked up to this parent and asked to borrow the car, the parent would refuse. But let's say the child has been hanging out with Timmy for a while and asks if he or she can spend the night at Timmy's house. The parent, without ever meeting the parents of their child's friend, will allow the kid to go spend the night with total strangers. Strangers can borrow your kids, but not your car.

It means a lot to those of us who otherwise rarely, if ever, see much resembling our lives in either the conservative or liberal media. About 26 years ago I was a strangely de­ pressed little 10-year old kid. My home life could've been labelled, "Alcohol Breaks a Family." I had a longing for depth, security and truth, even at that age. I found those things and more when I con­ fessed the limits of my human nature to God and accepted Jesus as my savior. As I grew older, my passion for Christ and my desperate need for stability led me into the churches and fellowships where the most literal interpretation of scripture was preached. I longed to pursue holiness, at any cost, and this, I was told, was the way. From the age of about 14 until I was 31, all my memories blur into one long period of paralyz­ ing despair spent obsessing over the most profound human force that we all share, the need for love and intimacy. All the repenting, pleading, fasting, intercession, counseling, re-baptizing, hand-laying, screaming, crying and pretending that 1 could cram into those 17 years didn't change the fact that I was a homosexual man to whom God had not granted the ability to face life alone. Finally, after a tough but enlightening term with an "Ex-Gay" ministry, I decided (in the spirit of our state motto) "to be rather than to seem." I still honor and respect those Christian brothers and sisters who spent countless hours sobbing in prayer with me, even though when the prayer was finished, they'd go home to their wives or husbands and I'd be alone, still sobbing. coming up, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to run my thoughts by someone else and you seem a likely person having just reviewed the book. So here goes: First of all, the entire situation of the romance (married woman/single man/jealous sister in law) I likewise honor and respect those who con­ put me off.

Many expectant listeners and critics were first challenged to squeeze into the over occupied music hall, separating with their others in their party, hoping to find a non-carpeted seat. The tunes that became famous thanks to the Chairman of the Board were magically transformed into jazz rendi­ tions. Unmistakable jams such as "Send In The Clowns" and "New York, New York" were enhanced by both the Valentine's Day spirit and the talented voices of Amy Young, Harmony Keeney, Jonathon Hudson, Catherine Culpepper and Brent Gingham. The musical background was provided by the multifaceted trumpeter, Gingham, pianist Arthur Unsworth, bass­ ist Erik Unsworth and percussionist Rich­ ard Dilling. Freshman jazz student Matt Boles found the production to be "Jazzy," and "as stimulating as Sinatra himself". The upbeat rendition of'The Lady is a Tramp" was "particularly entertaining", and "a great kickoff for the Valentine's Day sea­ son. The nearly two-hour performance hypnotized Appalachian State music lov­ ers, and with the size of the crowd, a cozy spirit was inadvertently created. The holi­ day weekend is certainly not complete without witnessing such an exhibition of expertise in the areas of musicianship and song. Appalachian students, facultyand parents are undoubtedly looking forward to repeat performances in the coming months of the Spring 1998 semester. Con­ gratulations on a superb performance to The School of Music and all who con­ tributed to the production. The School of Music has a lot in store for those of you who have yet to be entertained by their immense talent. The month of March is scheduled to contain over 10 performances. The week of Feb. 22-28 will host those performances, in­ cluding performances by both the Percus­ sion and Woodwind Chamber Ensembles. From March 20-22 Appalachian Guitarfest will be held in Broyhill Music Center, and undoubtedly heard throughout campus. There will be an admission April will play host mental 17 performances, ranging from faculty solo piano acts to The Appalachian Symphony Orchestra.

The North Division of the conference has had two distinct leaders (Appalachian and Davidson), while the South Division has had par­ ity to its credit. Chattanooga clinched the South Division crown and a first seed in the tournament with a 7-7 record and will play in the 7 p.m. game before ASU's showdown with Furman. Appalachian defeated Furman earlier in the season in Greenville for the first time in 11 years by a score of 63-62. "Furman gave us a great game down there," Appalachian State Coach Buzz Peterson said. 'They've got a great player in Chuck Vincent." "You could say we were lucky to come out of there with a win," Blair Adderley said of the earlier game. Adderley went on to say, "We're not really going to prepare too much for Furman, We're just going to come out and play our game." As close as the score with Furman was, the Mountaineers had their chances to put Furman away, but were unable to because of lackluster free throw shooting in the closing minutes of the game. Lady Mountaineers will square off against Davidson in tournament TJ Thomasson Staff Writer The Appalachian State Women's Basketball team is gearing up for the Southern Conference Tournament in Greensboro this weekend. The Mountaineers will play the Davidson Lady Wildcats for the second time in six days Friday night. The sixthseeded Mountaineers will be going after their sixth Southern Conference Tourna­ ment title. The Mountaineers were knocked out in the semifinal round of the tourna­ ment last year by the eventual champion, Marshall. Davidson lost in the first round to runner-up Georgia Southern last year. The big favorite heading to Greensboro is Georgia Southern, who lost in last year's final, 77-69. The Lady Eagles are the top seed and will meet either Wofford or Chattanooga. They would like to avoid history repeating itself. Last year, Furman was the top seed and got beat in the first round by East Tennessee State. The early advantage in the tour­ nament has to go to UNC-Greensboro. They have the somewhat unfair home court advantage with a quarterfinal game in their own Fleming Gym. They are seeded second and are set to host seventh seeded, Western Carolina. In the other quarterfinal match on Friday, Furman will meet East Tennessee State. The scene will then shift to the Greensboro Coliseum on Saturday and Sunday for the semifinals and champion­ ship games. Appalachian has an overall 16-9 conference tournament record, but they have only played Davidson once in the 13 years of the tournament. In 1996, the Mountaineers beat Davidson in the semi­ finals, 83-68. ASU's record in Greensboro is 21, with their lone loss coming last year from Marshall. Appalachian stands 6-3 in first round games and haven't been sent home after just one game since 1993 when they fell to Georgia Southern 66-56. If Appalachian can survive Davidson, they play the winner of UNCGreensboro and Western Carolina. This is the Lady Spartans first ever tournament appearance. ASU stands 2-1 against the Lady Catamounts in tournament play and are 1-0 in their only semifinal matchup: ASU 86 WCU 66 in 1987. Appalachian is 5-1 in Southern Conference Championship games with their only loss coming in 1986, when they fell to Chattanooga, 86-79. The Mountaineers en­ ter their matchup with Davidson on a four-game los­ ing streak. The last time ASU had a four-game losing streak, they ended it by beating the Lady Wildcats, and they will look to repeat that perfor­ mance this Friday night. Appalachian Head Coach Barbie Breedlove said, "I like our chances against Davidson on a neutral floor. We're going to go to Greens­ boro and create some havoc." Tip-off is set for 8:30 p.m. in Fleming Gym for Davidson and Appalachian. The two teams split the season series, with both teams win­ ning at home. ASU leads the overall series 8-3, but the Lady Wild­ cats have captured three of the last four meetings. Davidson has never won the Southern Conference Tournament. The Mountaineers went 8-18 from the ia against the Paladins. As of late however, ASU has man: improve free throw shooting. Against Greensboro Saturday night, the Mountain 18 of 22 from the stripe.

The residents of the room were not present when the fire started. "The fire was caused by a propane cooking stove similar to a camping stove," said Director of Housing Brad Reid. Reid said that the fire and smoke damage was limited to one room. "We offered the residents other accomodations, but they said that they could stay with friends," Reid said. According to Reid, the Department of Housing cannot begin to restore the room until an ongoing investigation by the Boone Fire Department is completed. "We are not allowed to disturb the articles in the room until the investiga­ tion is finished," said Reid. After the investigation is completed, the Department of Housing will have to replace the floor tiling, repaint the entire room, replace the light fixture and possi­ bly replace the wiring, Reid said. "Most of the articles in the room were damaged because of heat or smoke," Reid said. The maintenance staff was asked to assess the damage to the room Monday during rounds, said Director of Housing Operations, Tommy Wright. "We don't know the cost of the dam­ age, but we will soon hopefully," Wright said. Since the fire was ignited by con­ traband equipment, Reid declined to com­ ment on the status of the student's respon­ sibility in the fire. According to Reid, that will be dis­ cussed in a meeting with Vice Chancellor for Student Development Gregory S. Blimling. East Residence Assistants were no­ tified of the fire quickly, said residence educational specialist Sumit Ghose. "A student noticed smoke coming out of room 358 and notified the resident assistant," said Ghose. According to Ghose, the Watauga County Police and Fire Departments re­ sponded to the call quickly and therefore controlled the fire with ease. No additional water damage occured to the building, said Ghose. "A little water leaked, but nothing serious happened to the other floors," Ghose said. Additional information about the fire will be disclosed as it is released. • East Hall RA's Judy Hoss, Julie Skeen, Residence Educational Specialist Sumit Ghose, RA Greg Deleruyelle and Director of Hous­ ing Operations Tommy Wright discuss the fire (photo by Marvin Evans) Panel discussion proved informative PITS weight room in BroomeKirk Gym renovated Beth Bliss International issues and re­ ent for each couple," she said.

We will have finally made it to that blissful time we call spring break, without having a "break"-down! It seems that just before every break there is a change in the moods and behavior of most all of the students. So what is it that makes us so crabby at this time of the semester? Well, first of all, it is that time of the semester when our professors feel the need to cram in all sorts of work. They think that by the time we come back, we will have drowned all that we have learned with margaritas and PJ (stupid per­ ception because in actuality, we will be working on all those post-spring break projects and papers they have so graciously assigned). So therefore, they give us a billion papers, projects and exams before we leave the grand metropolis of Boone and head off to sunnier lands. Now we are all stressed out because we have so many things to do before the end of the week. We can t go out with our friends. We are suffering from sleep deprivation, because we have to work late into the night (or early into the morning for that matter). Then when you think you have made it through the academic jungle, you realize that you have to dig through your pocket lint just to scrape up some gas money. That's right, there is that pesky little word that always plagues us at times like these: money. How are we going to fund our little excur­ sions? Now we either have to break out the credit card, beg of Mom and Dad, dip into our non-exis­ tent savings account or hope that we can get our paycheck and cash it be­ fore we leave. If our spring break was actually in the spring instead of winter maybe we wouldn't have to travel so far to thaw out! Then there is the group of us who plan to go home. The curiosity of being back under our par­ ents' roof can be a big stress factor in itself, as well as a big comfort. What rules will our parent's make us follow? How can I tell my Mom that this is a vaca­ tion for me, and that I'm not there to do chores? When you try to find someone to chill with at 3 a.m., you realize your whole family is asleep. You realize that now you can catch up on all those missed snooze hours from the week before when you were busy swimming through the sea of papers, projects and exams. You are also finally able to eat free, yummy, non-food court food. Still you wonder...how am I going to avoid some of those high school people I don't even want to see, but still be able to hang out with my best friends from home? How am I going to get all my work done from school with­ out really having to do work? And finally, how am I going to con­ vince my parents to take me on a shopping spree to all of the fin­ est stores: Wal-Mart, Harris Teeter, Best Buy, Media Play and various other Melrose-like vendors. So now you know what this mysterious cloud is that has been hovering over you, and over the next week it may become darker and stormier. However, by the end of the week you will be pan of the collective sigh heard all over Watauga County. It is then that you will achieve the paradise we call spring break, and when you come back you will feel refreshed and ready to face the rest of the cold, long semester. Or maybe you'll decide that you just need to move to Florida! When you try to find someone to chill with at 3 a.m., you realize your whole family is asleep. Love, part one: Meeting and greeting in 1998 Kelly Fisher Columnist Relationships: everyone has them, searches for them and would eventually like to have a meaning­ ful one. This is part one of a three-part series ad­ dressing different aspects of college relationships: how they begin, how they progress and how they end. Meeting birds of the other sex (or the same if you are so inclined) has never been an easy thing. It gets easier with every generation, but still there are problems. People meet in class, in clubs, in bars, at parties and in general situations on campus. Some try the shy approach. You have all seen him or her. This person spends the entire evening staring at you across a crowded room, flashing an occasional smile and waiting for you to make the first move. Problem: What if you are shy too? This approach can work if used on an outgoing person, but if you find someone interesting enough to stare at all night, why not get up and go talk to them? Others try the pick-up line. Who still does this? You wouldn't be surprised if you've been to any par­ ties lately. "So, do you come here often?" Ideally, the recipient should melt at this thoughtful conver­ sation opener, but the response is usually less than favorable. If this approach has any familiar place in your heart, rethink it! When approaching another per­ son for the first time, saying something intelligent or observant shows you have more on your mind than what this person can be doing for you later in the evening. A funny pick-up line, said in jest, can be a good icebreaker, but make sure the recipient knows you're just kidding. Sometimes a random guy or girl tells friends about the crush they have, but fails to clue you in on it—another bad approach. Telling all your friends you like someone in the hope that they will talk to the crush in question is such a high school thing to do. It makes you look obsessed. And if the object of your affection doesn't return your feelings, not only do you feel hurt, but all your friends know you've been rejected. Relationships should start out on a personal level; let others figure it out. With this method, they start out as community gossip and lead to two pressured people searching for a way out. The dancing bandit, a sneak approach: Okay, so maybe you won't see them dancing behind you for the first few minutes, but then they get really close and you are forced either to dance with them or to tell them to get lost. If you choose to dance, you might actually find out their name at the end of the song, but conversation can't be sincere over the blaring "You're horny, let's do it" of Genuine. If you choose to dis the dancing bandit, you simply go on dancing with your friends, having fun without being pushed back against the wall. Get the picture? A studly—I mean, study date, is always good if you want to get to know someone. A quick phone call with no pressure situations or a simple invite to study and eat is classic. You'll get results with this one. The reason: No one in the situation is left vul­ nerable. You invite someone to study with you, but if they say no, it isn't an obvious rejection of you personally. The invited has no idea if you want to learn about history or them, so they won't feel pres­ sured, and you won't feel like a loser. Lastly, there is the honest approach. Easy ex­ ecution makes this one highly successful, so why aren't more guys using it? All it takes is a compli­ ment as simple as, "nice dress." Or, you could dis­ cover something you have in common with a per­ son, and then start a conversation: "My friend told me you really like to rock climb. I was interested in learning to climb, and I thought you might know a good place to go." Now, was that so hard? Meeting people can be really difficult if every­ one, particularly college students, live in fear of re­ jection. If a person will reject a total stranger who has gotten up the nerve to come and talk to them, he or she is pretty shallow. People who have enough nerve to make the first move deserve respect. If you think someone across the room is hot, it is cool to go and talk to them. But even if you are smooth, and they enjoy meeting you, great meetings don't always lead to great relationships. Before you fall head over heels for that gorgeous man or woman, see what's under that striped sweater and corduroys or tight black pants and polyester shirt—and I'm talk­ ing about heart. Meeting should be the easy part in all of this. The challenge comes when you have to decide to keep 'em or throw 'em back!

Education is an investment. It's 51 investment a person can make," Employers are looking for stu*dl-rounded and ready to work. &0©T ouR .FRieS Ball said employers want "multi-dimension people who can function successfully in different environments." He said people hire people, not diplomas. Ball stressed that students need an internship to have experience in their field of interest. "Students who graduate without an internship are at a competitive disad­ vantage in the job market," Ball said. Depending on a student's career, being bilingual can put students at an even greater an advantage. Ball encourages students to participate in study abroad programs, because the programs not only show students another part of life, they also look good to employers. Speaking of what employers want in future employees, let's hear from an em­ ployer. Meg Spivey, a representative from Wachovia in Winston-Salem, had some ad­ vice for students seeking employment after graduation. "We look for people who would best fit in our culture," Spivey said. Spivey said good verbal and writ­ ten communication skills are important, along with a strong work ethic and integ­ rity. Spivey said working in a team envi­ ronment is important in any career field. "Having the ability to communi­ cate with each other, being able to give and take ideas and doing what's best for the group are important in a team envi­ ronment," Spivey said. Spivey also commented that em­ ployers look for someone who presents themselves well and can sell the best points about themselves to employers. Spivey said employers want graduates with work experience. "It shows a lot of initiative for stu­ dents to work their way through school, save up money for school or even to work days and go to school at night," Spivey 6'"' said. Spivey said employers are looking for the person who's willing to get the job done. Gener­ ally, students with a strong work ethic tend to have more appreciation for their work and have a different outlook on their job. Some students may not know how to do a resume or need pointers in interviewing. Career Development offers services to help students prepare for their career. Students can go to Career Devel­ opment to set up an appointment with a career counselor and set up an internet account called First Place. This account makes students eligible for on-campus in­ terviewing and places them on the refer­ ral database system. This system allows employers to search student resumes on­ line and students can then review their account to see the employers who have accessed their resume. Stephen Clemente, systems ad­ ministrator in Career Development, said the First Place system provides a service to students and employ­ ers. An exciting new technol­ ogy Career Development will have in March is video­ conferencing. He doesn't ex­ pect video-conferencing to be used much this semester, but does expect August graduates to heavily utilize the system. Clemente said this system will be 100 percent controlled by Appalachian. "We envision video­ conferencing being heavily uti­ lized by several populations in­ cluding Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, who gener­ ally recruit Appalachian students," Clemente said. Video-conferencing is all by com­ puter through internet. A student will do an interview through this technol­ ogy by talking to an employer through the computer screen. In a corner at the top of the screen, the student will see a small pic­ ture of themselves during the inter­ view. This will allow the student to be aware of their mannerisms. Students will only be seen from the waist up in the interview. There are several ex­ amples of ways video­ conferencing can be useful. When Boone has inclement weather, and employers can't make it here, employers can do an interview through video­ conferencing. If a student needed to do an in­ terview out-of-state, instead of flying or driving there, a student could use video conferencing. The most important thing a stu­ dent can do to get the job they want is start the search early. Seize opportuni­ ties to develop leadership skills such as an internship or part-time employment. Do informational interviews with employ­ ers in your desired field of work. Conduct an internet job search. Send out resumes and try to get interviews the semester you graduate. The more ini­ tiative a student shows, the better the chance of getting that dream job. The Career Development Center is located on the third floor of the John E. Thomas building.

Witness for Peace H says they are a "grass-roots, faith-based, politically independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to the principles of nonviolence. Our mission is to change those United States economic and foreign policies which contribute to poverty and oppression in Latin America and the Caribbean, ana to Promote Just alternatives. Dean' and to promote just alternatives, Toward this end, we undertake advocacy com nn' rrrt C J campaigns »1«|4 nnnt nnlnrtf actions, and ac­ and nonviolent company people seeking justice." In this presentation, Amnesty members told stories of the millions of people in Guatemala and Honduras suf­ fering from massive human rights viola­ tions. Gail Phares defined human rights as "not only political rights such as the right to vote, freedom of religion, the right to assemble and the freedom of press," but also as more basic rights such as "the right to life, the right to health care, the right to education and the right to adequate housing." The following is what she defined ab Ulc I1UI as the human rights problems in these two countries A According to Phares, in Guate­ mala and Honduras, even these basic rights aren't being met. She said that in Guatemala, over 200,000 people "disap­ peared" and were killed by Guatemalan -J state security forces during its 36 year civil war. One million people fled the country, Refugees tried to escape into Mexico, but r many either starved to death in the moun­ tains, or died of malaria, cholera, starva­ tion or exhaustion on the journey. Many others died at the Mexican border during bombings by the Guatemalan govern­ ment. Phares said those refugees who survived are now able to return to Guate­ mala due to the peace accords that were signed in December 1996. Refugees re­ turning home after their 12 year estrangement, however, found that they would 1 1 , have to repurchase their lands and homes. The only way the poor peasants are able to do this is by further subjugating them­ selves and applying for governmental loans. Paying back these loans is the peas­ ant class' number one priority, as their greatest fear is that the government will take their land away from them. Ameri­ can citizens can help these peasants by writing their representatives in congress and urging them to vote for the declassi­ fication of documents about the Guate­ malan civil war. The declassification of these documents will help the Guatema­ lan Truth Commission document clarify the horrors of this civil war and perhaps bring justice to the peasants. According to Phares, in both Gua­ temala and Honduras, land is the root of many of the human rights violations. Many of these problems stem from a lack of suitable farmland. The push by both governments to ..iv-iwuv, agricultural exincrease ugiituiiuiai CA(J — ports has resulted in peasants being forced off their lands so wealthy farmers could increase agricultural productions. Thus, a minority of landowners (the wealthiest in­ dividuals) own a majority of the land, of­ ten the most fertile. This problem is known as a "jobless growth;" the economy of the countries are increasing, but the rich are only getting richer. Because of the push for more agricultural exports, tradi­ tional agriculture is fading away and the poor are becoming poorer. The peasants forced off their lands are fleeing to the cities. This population explosion has led to many sanitation problems, including polluted water, severe air pollution and shoddy living quarters. As a result of the changing farm­ ing tradition, more and more peasants are being forced to work in maquilas, which are factories that assemble products solely for exports. These factories are very simi­ lar to sweat shops, and are a gross viola­ tion of human rights. Maquilas exploit humans and avoid labor laws, including child labor laws, minimum wage laws, and safety laws. Although these factories are hor­ rible to work in, they are the fastest grow­ ing sector of the economy, because of the 10-year "tax holiday" implemented in 1984. This tax holiday is the suspension of export and import tariffs for anyone opening a maquila. The majority of the maquila workers are women, and 35 per­ cent of these women are under the age of 18. These workers earn less than $4 a day, and the average minimum wage is $2.10 a day. Maquila workers often slave 75 hours a week, and they still do not make enough money to support their families. But these workers feel that low wages are better than no wages, and they continue to work. At best, maquilas are hot, loud, and congested. There is poor ventilation and insufficient exits, should a fire occur. These workers are frequently exposed to lint, which causes severe respiratory prob­ lems, and work with dangerous chemicals with insufficient equipment. Some of these factories have no restrooms, and those that do are grossly unsanitary. Phares said that the United States is funding such human exploitation by sending financial support for these maq­ uilas. She urged students, as consumers, to help solve the problem and make con­ ditions better for the peasants in Guate­ mala and Honduras. She named several companies that utilize maquilas, such as Sears, Gap, Bugle Boy, Gerber, OR and Levi. Phares urged students to write these companies and question them about where their products are made and how much workers are paid, and we can de­ mand rights for maquila workers. Phares, urges students to get in­ volved, in saying that "true joy comes not from accumulating wealth, but from help­ ing others..."

The Mountaineers could have had the title to themselves had they not lost to Davidson last Thursday night 68-58 in a game that had major implications in ; shaping the conference tournament ; bracket. Because of that loss, the Moun. taineers will be the second seed from the North Division and will face Furman at 9:30 p.m. on Friday night in their first game in the Greensboro Coliseum. Davidson, who matched the Mountaineers with a 13-2 conference record and beat the Apps twice, will be the number one seed from the North Division and will face the winner of Thursday night's Georgia Southern/East Tennessee State game at noon on Friday. Chattanooga, with just a 7-7 con­ ference record, was able to win the South Division and get the number one seed in Appalachian's side of the bracket. As for Saturday night's game, the Mountaineers started strong and led by as many as 21 points in the second half before relenting a little at the end so that the Spartans could make it respectable for their departing seniors. "I was ready to do anything pos­ sible to win this championship," said jun­ ior Blair Adderly after the game. Adderly, 1' who averaged just 6.6 points a game over the first 25 contests, scored 21 against the Spartans to lead all scorers. "I've been here since the Apke era, and we've come a long way," said Adderly as he reflected on the championship. Another Mountaineer who has been with the team since he was recruited by former Head Coach Tom Apke is se­ nior Clint Crosston. The senior has seen his playing time diminish since Buzz Peterson became head coach two years ago, but is more excited about the team's success than his own. "It's a great feeling for me because of how things were my first two years here... I never thought it would happen," said Crosston. During his first two years at Appalachian, the Mountaineers went a combined 17-40. Over the past two years under Peterson, the Mountaineers are 3321 and now have a championship banner to put next to the one they earned under Bobby Cremmins in 1979. "Time after time, I've walked in that gym (Varsity Gymnasium)... and there's only one banner in there from 1979, and I look down the other end at what a great job Linda Robinson and her staff have done over the years. I've been pushing these kids so we could hang one in there," said Peterson, "Its something they'll remember for a long time." As for the prospect of facing Furman, a team the Mountaineers barely beat when the two teams met in Greenville two weeks ago, Peterson said, "They're a very good ball-club, and we were very for­ tunate to win down there." Last Thursday at Davidson, the Mountaineers had their chance to prove that their earlier loss to the Wild­ cats at home was nothing but a fluke. However, the Wildcats were in rare form for the South­ ern Conference's most important game of the regular season, hit­ ting 45 percent of their threepoint attempts and out-rebound­ ing the Mountaineers 45-27 in their 10-point win over Appala­ chian. The big game drew nearly 4,200 fans in Davidson's Belk Arena, about a third of which were from Appalachian. Although they made several small runs, Appalachian's defense could never keep Davidson from scoring, whether it was inside or outside. The Apps could only get within eight points of the 'Cats in the second half before succumbing to the home team. Appalachian will have the chance to play Davidson again if both teams make it to the tournament final as ex­ pected. In other opening round action, Western Carolina will face UNC-Greensboro Thursday night, with Chattanooga await­ ing the winner Friday night at 7 p.m.. VMI will face The Citadel Friday afternoon at 2:30 p.m..

Wildcats lick Lady Apps 74-63 ASU avoids tournament play-in game with a sixth place finish TJThomasson Schoolfield. She scored 10 of the Moun­ taineers' first 16 points, as Appalachian led 16-10 with 13:28 to go before halftime. A missing link in ASU's offense in the first half was senior guard Rachel Olander. Olander was absent until the fi­ nal four minutes of first-half play, but she had a good excuse; she had a track meet in Johnson City. "We missed her tremen­ dously. She is like our glue,", noted Breedlove. Olander's absence meant sopho­ more guard Noel Dolan had to move over and play the point guard position. Dolan was held scoreless in the first after only attempting two shots and had just two points in the game, shooting one of four from the field. "She didn't shoot enough. She just didn't seem to have confidence," said Breedlove. Davidson (17-8, 12-4) led at the break, 34-31, as they scored the final five • points of the half, including three free throws with no time remaining on the clock. The free throw shots came as a re­ Staff Writer Appalachian State dropped their final regular season game as Davidson's sophomore sensation, Jennifer O'Brien, sparked a late Lady Wildcat run with 12 of Davidson's final 18 points to hand the Mountaineers their fourth straight loss, 74-63 Saturday afternoon in Belk Arena. The Mountaineers were unable to stop O'Brien as she scored a game-high 26. With the score tied at 59, Davidson center Kathy Kamp hit a shot to give the Lady Wildcats the lead. After that it was the Jennifer O'Brien show. O'Brien scored seven unanswered points, including a huge three-pointer, to give Davidson a commanding 68-59 lead with 1:53 left in the contest. It wasn't her shooting from the field (5-11) or her three point effort (3-4) but her free throw shoot­ ing that hurt Appalachian the most. She only missed one of her 14 at­ tempts from the charity stripe, including four of four in the final two minutes. "O'Brien was the key. She's a great player and a le­ #8 UTC gitimate shot at player of the year," said Mountaineers' Head Coach Barbie Breedlove. "Jackie Smith (Furman) will likely get that because she leads in the glamour categories (scoring and rebounding)." ASU was led by Greensboro native Beth Schoolfield with 19 points and eight boards. She shot six of 16 from the field. "Beth did some good things offen­ sively, but did not play well defensively," said Breedlove. Freshman forward Natasha Lettsome came off the bench to score 15. "I'm pleased (with Lettsome). I told her in practice to play well, you must practice well, and she had a great week of practice," said Breedlove. Tiffany Chappell re­ corded her seventh double digit effort of the season with 11 points. Freshman Jamie Gagliano was huge on the boards with 10 and dished in seven points. In the first half, Ap­ palachian led by as much as six with the performance by r Thursday • Friday • Saturday sult of Schoolfield fouling on Kerry Brown's half-court shot at the buzzer. The Lady Wildcats built as much as a seven-point lead in the second half at 50-43, with10:20 to go. Appalachian then went on a 16-6 run to grab a three-point lead at 59-56 with 5:19 left. But the Moun­ taineers only scored four more points and O'Brien was just getting started, as Davidson picked up the win at home. The loss drops ASU (9-16, 8-8) into the sixth seed heading into the South­ ern Conference Tournament this weekend, and the Mountaineers will play Davidson Friday night at 8:30 p.m. in the quarterfinal round. "I like our chances in Greensboro. We should be healthy for the first time his year. We'll just have to see what happens. Maybe we can wreak some havoc," said Breedlove. The women's first and quarterfinal rounds will take place at Fleming Gym on the campus of UNCGreensboro. < Women s Tournament Bracket #4 Fur man Feb 27, Ham #5 ETSU #3 Davidson Sunday Virginia Tech grapplers thump Apps 33 Martin pinned sophomore JasonH at the 2:31 mark.

Congressman tours Health Services Leslie Hitchcock News Editor As part of his agenda to better un­ derstand his constituents, Representative Richard Burr brought his program "Take This Job and Try It" to the Appalachian State University Health Services. On Wednesday, Feb. 18, Burr worked at the appointment and reception­ ist desks, the pharmacy, the file room and spent time with students in the waiting room. According to Burr, he continually makes the offer to constituents to try his hand at their jobs. "I find things pertinent to the com­ mitteesIserve onin Washington or things that could give me firsthand experience and credibility," Burr said. Burr has implemented his program for approximately one year. "We receive hundreds of applica­ tions a month, andI go through them all to see the different options," he said. Since the implementation of the program, Burr has operated a drive-thru window at McDonalds, driven UPS and Pepsi trucks, assisted the Surry County EMS, worked on the Winston-Salem Po­ lice and Fire departments and was Assis­ tant Principal of Watauga County High School for a day. According to Burr, the program has offered many medical care opportunities which intrigue him. "I represent a very di­ verse geographical location in North Carolina," Burr said. "Health Care challenges are the same everywhere you go, but Health Services at uni­ versities are a unique chal­ lenge," he added. Burr represents the Fifth District of North Carolina to the U.S. House of Represen­ tatives. He serves on the Com­ merce Committe in the House of Representatives. The committee has five subcommittees, three on which Burr sits. Burr serves on the Health and Environment, En­ ergy and Power and the Over­ sight and Investment commit­ tees.

However, these issues were introduced to the audience by a man. Jackson Katz, the founder of the anti-sexist men's organi­ zation'Real Men, delivered an adress entitled "Football, Femi­ nism, and other Contemporary Contradictions." His presentation con­ cerned sex and violence in our generation, while speaking to both genders. A former all-state football player, Katz was the first man to graduate with a women's studies minor from the Univer­ sity of Massachusetts-Amherst. He is considered the lead­ ing male anti-sexist activist of our generation. Katz began his presenta­ tion by discounting the rumors and explaining the purpose of the Real Men organization. According to Katz, this group is not a support group for ex- football players, nor is their purpose to solicit male strip acts. In reality, the Real Men organization encourages men to speak out against all forms of violence. Katz stressed the belief that women's issues are not just the concern of women, and that men need to take active roles. He proved his point by asking the men in the audience to raise their hands if they had a mother, sister, girlfriend, aunt or any female acquaintances. Hands raised unanimously in support. "Every issue that affects women af­ fects us too, by definition," Katz said. Although Katz agreed that men and women are concerned with different is­ sues, he urged the audience to move be­ yond simplistic ways of thinking and elimi­ nate terms such as "gender wars" and "battle of the sexes" from our vocabulary. "Men's violence against women is a major crisis," Katz said. "It cuts across class, race and gender." According to Katz, traditional male and female roles may easily be traced to mythology. The symbol for females is a repre­ sentation of Venus, or the goddess of love and beauty, while the symbol for males represents Mars, the god of war. History teaches that men have long since been associated with violence, whereas women are traditionally associ­ ated with love and beauty. Laughter erupted throughout the auditorium when Katz asked the men what measures they take to prevent them­ selves from being sexually assaulted. However, hundreds of hands raised toward the ceiling when women were asked the same question. "It is notable that people laugh at this question becuase we have the notion that it is unmanly to take care of our­ selves," Katz said. "Do not feel embaressed, but move beyond Neander­ thal thinking." Some common measures taken by women to protect themselves included carrying pepper spray, walking in groups after dark, always, always locking the car door, carrying keys as a weapon and spending huge amounts of time and money on self-defense classes. Taking extra precautions when al­ cohol is involved was also a major concern. "Some men take some precautions. For women, this is universal," Katz said. Shock appeared on the faces of the audience when Katz introduced some shock­ ing statistics. According to FBI re­ search, a woman is nine times more likely to be assaulted in the home or by someone she knows. Research by the Surgeon General shows that the num­ ber one cause of injury to women is battery. Katz urged women to be careful when choosing their intimate part­ ners. Katz's presentation con­ tinued by introducing the re­ alities of violence in our soci­ ety. In fact, the realities for women and men are different and reach far across the spec­ trum. Katz did not deny men as victims. However, 99 per­ cent of rapes are committed by men. Although men may be afraid of violence, it is violence by other men. This type of vio­ lence usually occurs in a prison setting. Many men enter prison as non violent criminals and leave as rape survi­ vors. "Physical assault from women is not a reality," Katz said. Katz stressed the reality that women have to live in a world of violence, and that keeping silent only fuels the fire. "The good guys have to speak up," Katz said." "Silence is a form of violence." Why are the "good guys" silent? Katz linked the answer to a single word, homophobia. Men are afraid of being viewed as a "wuss." Violent offenders play on peer pres see Katz on page 3 Staff Writer Barbara Burgin has been named assistant vice chancellor for alumni affairs at Appalachian State University. Burgin was promoted Jan. 22 at a foundation board meeting. "Finding out about my promotion shocked and surprised me," said Burgin. "It has been quite overwhelming," she said. The promotion was based on past accomplishments and success, Burgin said. She will be working out of her of­ fice more, continuing fundraising as well as working and visiting with ASU alumni. "My responsibilities as the assistant vice chancellor give me the opportunity to meet various alumni on a personal basis," said Burgin. Burgin's new responsibilities in­ clude greater emphasis on strengthening alumni and staff support for Appalachian's centennial campaign. She will be responsible for raising funds of up to $500,000 for the alumni endowment for the centennial campaign. The alumni endowment supports numerous alumni programs throughout the year. Some of the programs include travel programs, awards and recognition, re­ union programs and alumni scholarship funds. Burgin said she enjoys getting to know alumni and working one on one with them. She also added that she looks for­ ward to enhancing alumni programs at ASU and continuing to get more alumni involved in participating and supporting ASU programs and activities. Burgin has been the alumni direc­ tor at ASU since 1982. Her most noticeable accomplish­ ment as the director of alumni affairs is the McKinney Alumni Center, which Burgin coordinated the architectural and fundraising project for, and raised $1.8 million in private funds to build the cen­ ter. Burgin said that the alumni that she meets with from all over the country and world, enjoy promoting ASU and support­ ing their alma mater.

Before Burgin became direc­ tor for alumni affairs, she served as a volunteer in Catawba County, representing Catawba on the ASU alumni council in 1980-81. The position for director became available, so Burgin was encouraged to apply by peers, and she received the job.

'This position makes a state­ ment about the importance of our alumni and their loyal and dedi­ cated work in support of the university's mission," he said.

Various instuctors from around the campus join the classes to facilitate discussions concerning different aspects of business inter­ personal communication. According to Kirkpatrick, the students learn different things, such as how to give proper intro­ ductions, how to discuss various subjects in a proper manner, proper dress attire for women and men, time management skills, business travel and how to con­ duct business dinners.

With more "lines in the water," the angler will most likely get a bite sometime soon. • "bite" - a fish toying around with your bait, sometimes nudging it, sometimes just swimming in circles around it. • "bass boat" - a general term used for most fishing vessels • "strike" - when a fish has definitely tried to swallow your bait • "setting the hook" - the action of maneuver­ ing the fishing pole so that once this fish has made a strike, the hook will catch itself in the fish's mouth. • "landing" - the action of reeling the fish in and then netting the fish for capture onto the boat. • "taking the picture" - once the fish has been completely landed, the angler holds the fish up by the lip and has a buddy take a snapshot to remember the fish. Okay, now that we've covered some basic terms, I can now apply these terms to relationships. Feel free to refer back to the "word list" for clarifica­ tion during the relationship scenarios.

We have found that one of the best ways to solicit feedback from the stu­ dent body is to keep them updated on campus is­ sues and concerns. One new way we have tried to keep students informed is by producing a monthly student government newsletter on the back page of The Appalachian. In response to a letter submitted by Lucas Pasley, we appreciate your written concern and welcome any suggestions for improvement. We envision the newsletter to be a direct line of com­ munication to the students. Because we want the newsletter to be useful, we are committed to rede­ fining and editingit to include the type of informa­ tion that students want to read. Even though it would be impossible to include every student gov­ ernment project in one newsletter, we will do our best to be thorough and include as much informa­ tion as possible. The student government office is located on the second floor of the Plemmons Student Union, suite 215. Our telephone number is 262-2245, or you can reach us via e-mail at sga@conrad.appstate.edu. As always, your ques­ tions, comments and concerns are greatly appreci­ ated. For the past few weeks, I have picked up The Appalachian and have avoided the Opinion section. My reasoning behind this is complicated, but substantiated. It seems that every week there is an­ other editorial or letter written by some "tolerant" intent on pushing his or her ideas on the rest of us "intolerants" by slamming Christians who believe that homosexuality is wrong. A Feb. 12 editorial by your Opinion Editor, Beth Bliss, speaks of "anti-gay activists, who scream of sin and the fires of hell." Ms. Bliss, please allow me to clarify a few things for you. You seem to have as mis­ informed a view of Christians as you seem to think we have of homosexuals. First of all,Iam a committed, born-again Chris­ tian. I find it grossly insulting for you, as well as for many others who have written to and for The Appa­ lachian, to make the insinuation that Christians who believe homosexuality is a sin are all hate-preach­ ing, judgemental people.I believe that homosexual­ ity is a sin, and that those who choose to live as ho­ mosexuals choose to live in sin. This fact does not put homosexuals any lower than myself, in my mind or in the mind of God. I, like everyone else in this world, am a sinner whose sin weighs no less or more than that of a homosexual. Granted, there are Christians who believe it is their right to tell homosexuals that they are destined for hell. But aren't you judging them for their views, in the same fashion that they "judge" homosexuals? The goal of this letter is not to stir up more controversy. I am simply trying to show that there are plenty of people who can disagree with homosexuality without iud^emennmhpJndiviHi^ Yours in service and ASU spirit, Fernando G.

Matthew Lutz ASU Box 11097 More Bela backlash To the Editor: Congratulations to ASU for acquiring the fine band Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Anyone who did not see the sold-out show missed a fantastic musical experience.Iwas, however, irritated to find that, at one point in the performance, the front row was overcome by so-called dancers. These people thought nothing of running to the front of the auditorium and blocking the view of those who took the initiative to purchase their tickets early. This is a cheap move to obtain an up-front view of the band, not to mention flat-out selfish. Thank you, security personnel, for moving these people to the side aisles. As a performer,Ienjoy seeing people respond to my music, and dancing is a very sincere form of flattery. But where are these people's principles? They must realize they block the view of others by taking such an inconsiderate stance. I hope Far­ thing Auditorium's policy will remain as demon­ strated by that performance. I have no desire :o restrict anyone from expressing themselves, but don't do it at the expense of others. Bill Burger Staff, Media Services �Page 6 1• The Appalachlan 19 p > ebi When times are bad, friends make the dinerence ' Andrew Greenberg Columnist I have the funniest friends in the world. I have come to this conclu­ sion after much careful delibera­ tion and several e-mails. One might wonder why 1 would be so inclined to believe this rather out­ rageous assertion, and the skepti­ cism is justified—the evidence on which I would base my opinion would have to be unquestionably hilarious. Of course, it is. Let me set the scenario, if I may. I, like almost every other college student, have problems with money; namely, I don't have any. So one day, after my weekly anxiety attack abated,I decided to communicate via e-mail with my long-time friend Justin Oxman. When I checked my messages the next day, I was beset with such riotous par­ oxysms of gleeful laughter that I knew, beyond a doubt, that the people I call my friends are the epitome of boisterous mirth. Let me give the reply I received in re­ sponse to my query for counsel. It contains some useful (and not so useful) ideas that will help anyone who is strapped for cash. Justin Oxman's E-mail to Andrew Greenberg: Here are possible solutionsto all of your problems. 1. Suicide (should be used as a last option only). 2. Good job opportunities can be found through the school. Yes, I know you hate it, and you disagree entirely with the idea of supporting the aforementioned in­ stitution, but think of it like this: any job you take in Boone will be at least indirectly supporting the university, so you might as well just go ahead and get a job. Reasons for working for the school are good: employers support them­ selves and understand the whole homework/class phenomenon. Therefore, they are unbelievably flexible with your schedule. You would most likely be allowed to work as little or as much as you want. The pay will probably be bad. But getting in good with ad­ ministrators/librarians/sports teams/etc., is never a bad thing. You would also be very close to work, and usually the jobs are very easy and provide you with ample time to do homework while get­ ting paid. 3. You can save money eas­ ily by not spending it. Do not, un­ der any circumstances, go out to eat. That is the easiest way to save unreal amounts of money. Buy food at the grocery store and cook it for yourself. Make your girlfriend or roommate pay for everything. And if you really need cash, you can talk to me about possible swin­ dling opportunities**, or you can talk to Steve ahout "legitimate" business opportunities. **Note: Swindling opportu­ nities are almost always illegal, im­ moral, and incredibly successful. "Legitimate" business opportuni­ ties via Steve are questionably le­ gal (for the time being) and good plans for the future. 4. The key to making lots of money is to be efficient, so try and make money doing the things that you would normally do anyway. For example, some classes post dis­ cussion notes online or print them in the form of a course pack. See about getting a job doing those things and you'll make money without wasting valuable time. Example 2: If you go to the gym three times a week, see about a job cleaning equipment in the gym. You go to work. Work out. Clean up after yourself. Get paid. Go home. Example 3: Volunteer for psychology experiments (but un­ der no circumstances should you allow yourself to be shocked, the experimenters always get carried away). These things are extremely easy. You will usually get paid for a block of time, say one hour, and . . fnr onlv 45 being tested for only 45 end up minutes. 5 Donate blood, plasma, kidney(s), ovary(ies), sperm, etc. In most cases, you Sfcor^eftacdo^ these fluids or organs for healthy life and could generate substantial income with die extra. Plus, you're guaranteed to lose weight. 6. Get really good at some meaningless activity and gamble with people. Challenge people to see who can do more pushups in a minute. Get a good workout, take their money and laugh at their puny, weak, wretched bodies (Un­ der no circumstances should you make any bets with creatures of the nether regions.Iknow they re putting up a lot of money to your seemingly worthless soul, but they will find a way to beat you). 7.

Over the next month, they talk over club activi­ ties and meet weekly. Explanation: These two guys that Pam is attracted to are considered "lines in the water." Scenario: When Pam's club meeting is almost over, her club friend Rob decides to ask what she is doing after the meeting. Alas, Pam has previous plans to study with her friends for a psychology midterm the next day. Explanation: Pam received a "bite" from Rob; that is, he began to notice her interest and was pay­ ing attention to her. Scenario: Pam is in biology, sitting next to Jay, as usual. Dur­ ing the lecture, Jay hands Pam a note with the words, "Do you wanna go out this weekend? Check the box: Yes, No, or Maybe" scribbled on the paper. Pam de­ cides that she wouldlike to see Jay this weekend, so she checks the "Yes" box and hands back the note. Explanation: From one of her "lines in the water", Pam re­ ceived a definitive "strike." She could be sure of his unmistakable attention. Consequently, she "set the hook" by accepting his offer. Scenario: Pam and Jay have been dating for a few weeks now, and they really enjoy each other's company. Pam states that she doesn't want to see anyone else; Jay agrees. They decide to be ex­ clusive. Explanation: Pam "sets the hook" on Jay by bringing up the exclusivity issue. Luckily for Fisherwoman Pam (see whyIused fisherman?), her hook-setting was successful. Scenario: Pam andJay have been seeing each other for 3 months. Jay tells Pam that he wants to take her home to meet his parents. Pam agrees, and they take a weekend excursion to en­ counter Jay's parents.

The highlight here is the conveyor belt thing which can be ridden for free. Directly below the cafeteria is the sub shop, which can be quite good depend­ ing on the slimy factor of the to­ matoes and lettuce. Next door to that is the pizza place, though they don't really sell pizza, but a repugnant gruel known to the students as "gfoonk." There are also three food services located in the student union. The first is the Gold Room. No one who has ever come out of the Gold Room has come out alive, soI figure there must be a lot of unsuccessful sui­ cide counselors in there.

They got off to a rough start with a 10-2 loss three weeks ago, but have started to put things to­ gether since then. In the last two weeks, they have lost two squeakers, 5-4 and 43. Of course, the team would like to get a shot at some of the other university clubs around the state, but they are hav­ ing some trouble lining up games, because most other teams set their schedules at the beginning of the school year. Weidert says that their best hope is to play a couple of games against Wake Forest some time toward the end of March. Although the team has yet to notch its first win, Weidert is pleased with what he has seen so far. Weidert says, "We're pretty much learning each other's style. We're only going to get better. There's no question about that. It's just a matter of time be­ fore we stan gelling." as McGill provides the team with solid defense and a lot of heart. Confident that the wins will come, Weidert is also thinking about the larger issue of the future of ice hockey at ASU. He explains, "The thing that we've got to work on now is getting that solid foundation down and making sure that the team continues on after us." To that end, Weidert encourages anyone interested in playing with the team, or in coming out to support the team, to call him at 265-1117. Practice is finally over. It's past 11 p.m. The exhausted skaters sprawl out on the benches in the cold, dingy locker room. Almost nothing is said, as the 13 weary souls are numbed into an odd si­ lence by their labors, especially the last 20 minutes of full-ice three-on-threes and that final round of sprints. But even if nobody mentions it, a certain satisfaction fills the room. You can see it on the sweat-streaked faces, in the way the guys linger for a moment before changing back into their street clothes. It will be after midnight by the time they get back to Boone. And then some will have to study for tests that are only a few hours away. But they all know it. It's hockey. It's worth it. -orwards Josh Mazur (with puck) and Jay Bohac (far left) head the ice on a breakaway. �The Appalachlan Page 8 The weather outside is frightful: But the is 0 7 k i i n a < so delightful Aimee Yawn Staff Writer By now, most of you are, more than likely, getting sick of all that white stuff. Snow falls out of the sky for much of the spring semes­ ter, and al­ though it is pretty for a while, it soon just becomes nasty, gray sludge due to cars plowing through it. This is when you are left wondering, next? what What else can you possibly do with this uncon­ trollable force? Well, if you can't beat it, join it. The answer to all your winter blahs could be skiing. It is one of the biggest winter sports around, and thanks to student rates and your trusty student ID, any student can actually scrape up enough pocket change to go. "My freshman year,I took the skiing class for RE. credit," says Rebecca G. Deming, a senior from Maitland, Fla. "It was really an experience, sometimes a blast and sometimes a pain," says Deming. If you have not tried skiing, then Appala­ chian Ski Mountain is an ideal place to learn. It caters to beginners and is home to the French-Swiss Ski College. For around $25, you can purchase a ski ticket, ski rentals and a onehour group lesson. All ski resorts offer les­ sons, and it is really beneficial to take one if you have never skied before. The more you know about skiing, the more you will enjoy it. "Skiing is some­ thing that every­ one needs to learn, but I think t h a t snowboarding is a lot more fun and exciting," says freshman Kathryn B. Hawes from Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Pass the railroad tracks and •look for the s'Sn left. on 1 have just given you directions to •Davidson. Why Davidson? The answer is simple. Davidson is the setimportant basketball game that anyone in a MounSL:„00r uniform has played in for nearly 20 years. "I told the kids tonight that not one of them had played in ijgame this big," Appalachian Coach Buzz Peterson said, referEingto tonight's game with Davidson, after his team's 60-53 win jjver The Citadel in Charleston, S.C. Monday night Well, Peterson is right. This is a big game. If ASU wins, lacy have won the Southern Conference North Division title outjpht. This will be the first time they have won the conference | [regular season title since 1981, when they split it with Davidson Jangfor the most CEi Ld Chattanooga. It seems to me that if people haven't recognized our team •already, now is the perfect time to start. A win over Davidson will L doubt propel Appalachian to a Southern Conference TournaIW Championship and an NCAA tournament berth. There is a changing of the guard in the Southern Confer•oce. Davidson has won the North Division (or a share of it) for likepast three years. Now Appalachian is posturing to knock them m their pedastal. In the pre-season media roundup, all the sportswriters who IE | ;r the Southern Conference, except The Appalachian's TJ j masson, voted Davidson to finish atop the Division- giving •iDavidson 31 of 32 votes. TJ knew something, and the Mountaineers ignored the . - ar writers, as they have reeled off 12 conference wins and are J ' winposition to compete for the regular season title. Jgg, The atmostphere at Davidson is described at best as hojfta. Every stereotype about rich white people that has ever been I'aomintered seems to stick at Davidson. If Davidson wins, the fans will walk out and go to a wine Vising afterward. If Davidson loses, the same will take place. | Nothing would beat having a band of raging Appalachian >take the homecourt advantage away from Davidson and their j Vne and cheese crowd." Such a game deserves an injection of excitement. This pe means so pitifully little to the students and faculty at J"on. So walk, carpool, whatever. Get to Davidson tonight. You anight find yourself in the midst of history in the making. ASU Head Coach Buzz Peterson Davidson Head Coach Bob McKillop lURSDflY, FEBRUARY 19TH, DAVIDSON, N.C. TICKETS/DIRECTIONS: Tickets are available for s8 at the ticket office in Broome-Kirk Gym. Davidson's John Belk Arena is located off 1-77 South exit #30. SERIES. After losing to the Wildcats on January 31 of this season, Appalachian's all-time record against Davidson is an even 23-23. Mountaineers downed The Citadel 60-53 Monday to bring their Southern Conference to 12-1 u ^ Meanwhile, the Wildcats improved to a 11-2 conference record by clobbering Virginia Military 90-66. Each team finishes its regular season with games on Saturday, Feb. 21. An win at Davidson would all but clinch a Southern Conference regular season title for the Mountaineers. A victory for the Wildcats would likely make the Mountaineers conference runners-up. Appalachian Senior Tige Darner netted 15 points against Davidson on January J "f " Phillips, Kareem Livingston, a n d Matt McMahon each posted double figures. T h e Wildcats scorers were paced by Stephen Marshall, Mark Donnely, and Chadd Holmes. This trio combined for 51 points in Davidson s 77-71 win at Varsity Gymnasium. qi \ Av T"!S M a r s h a • NUMBERS DON T LIE: Bob McKillop, Davidson's head basketball coach since 1989, has transformed the Wildcats" into one of the strongest teams in the Southern Conference.

Student Body President, Fernando Little, addressed two resolutions intended to be achieved by the SGA. The first of these changes states that when Watauga County is in a state of emergency, Appalachian State should act accordingly, either by delaying or cancel- ling classes. The second resolution involves Staff Writer working to improve the lines of commu­ Problems with the inclement nication between the administration and weather policy and overall confusion the students, regarding the weather. amongst the students has prompted the Although the specifics are still be­ Student Government Association (SGA) to ing addressed, Little has put the create legislation to improve the current administraiton on the look-out for the upcoming legisla­ tion. Expanding on Little's thoughts, Student Affairs Chair, Stacey Bern, ad­ dressed several ad­ ditional problems. " W h e n Watauga County is under curfew, how can they expect students to get to class?" Bern asked. According to Bern, the past snow-fall brought more inconve­ niences than just slippery roads. Students di­ aled Appalachian's snow line for an hour without get­ ting answers to their questions, Bern said. The news stations also The recent snowfall prompted the administration to consider revamping the Adverse broadcast cancel­ Weather Policy (photo by Richard Thomas) lations for the uni­ versity and then retracted the cancella­ tions. Bern also expressed students' frus­ trations after arriving to class only to find that their professors were not there; These inconveniences from the last snowfall, along with students' individual complaints to the SGA, prompted the pos­ sibility of ammending the policy, said Bern. "You never address problems until a crisis occurs," Bern said. Although the chancellor has the ability to cancel classes, it is up to the governor to decide whether the univer­ sity will close as a whole. Therefore, the SGA will do every­ thing that they are capable of doing to improve the policy, Bern said. Some suggestions involve ensuring students that sidewalks and stairways will be clear when class is in session. The possibility of a delay system is also being discussed by Bern's committee. Incorporating the Telephone Regis­ tration System (TRS) is another a possi­ bility, Bern said. If accepted and approved by the administration, students will be able to call into the TRS, enter their student num­ ber and determine whether their indi­ vidual classes have been canceled. "I think that the system will be able to accomodate this," Bern said. Although the SGA has only begun to look into altering the current policy, they hope to have legislation written and passed by the Student Senate at the end of March, Bern said. University officials were unavail­ able for comment. �The Appalachian I7peb Page 2 P s V I1 I C die! lite^ B tout h ^g°] h the pUtTl; lequest jeboc The Student Media Board H ptto U| M feCtS 1; «tiit,h* mt rest toough twillf Seeks Qualified Applicants for the Positions of: ort, 01 ddstar ePGA field Th Bu nee a t kinkwa oncetou oitsickn UC ti iyt cisi >•• • . >OU ;U vv swel.

Opinion "There is much to be said of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community." - Oscar Wilde Find diversity below the surface Summer Wright Deetz Wichard Columnists Our friend Webster boils down the definition of diversity to one simple word:variety. Variety is sup­ posed to be the spice of life. So why do people cringe when they hear about things like diversity training and political correctness? Being "politically correct" has become a fine art. Most people are afraid to speak for fear that they will not be using the latest proper terminology. For instance, if we are going to be technical, this article is written by an English/Scotch Irish-American and a Polish/Dutch/French-Canadian/Scotch-Irish/Native American/ American. What's the point of these labels? It seems our society has come to the point where it cannot stand to see a person without a category. Maybe it's "p.c." that has become "b.s." Maybe it's the process of la­ beling and simply dealing with the label that has be­ come the problem with diversity. In actuality, we are each very complicated and unique individuals, not groups with generic characteristics. There is no problem with cultural or historical pride. It is important to know where we came from. The problem comes when we are solely defined by these labels we have been given. You see people, and you can see that they are black, female, over­ weight, over 30. You make some assumptions. But who is this person, re­ ally? It is personality, lifestyle and environ­ ment that make that person unique. It's not all about physical characteristics. So di­ versity is not just about skin color, sexual ori­ entation or gender. It includes religious pref­ erence, taste in music, hobbies, everything! Diversity cannot be re­ duced to simple categories, because it would be im­ possible to completely categorize everyone—or any­ one for that matter. The Appalachian community complains that this campus is not a diverse place. If this claim is based on physical labels, that is probably a fair as­ sumption. But let's go back to our definition of di­ versity: variety. In any large, random group of people, there is always variety. ASU is full of diversity. Some people are simply too lazy to find it. They focus only on what their eyes can see, rather than what their ears can hear. Soon, the Student Government Association will host its Diversity Week, and with resources such as Diversity Advocates, the Multicultural Center, The Di­ versity Series, the Black Stu­ dent Associa­ tion, B-GLAAD and the His­ panic Student Association, we have an over­ flow of places to 55 explore the di­ versity of our university. These resources are readily available and most of them, if not all, are free. We should take advantage of such assets while we have the opportunity! In any dish, it's the special combination of spices that compliment each other to bring out a sa­ vory, delicious taste. Spices work together to bring out the best of the basic ingredients. Maybe we should be the spices, working together to bring out the best of ASU. If it is variety J you seek—it is all around you. J —— " J "Maybe it's 'p.c.' that has become b.s. We aren't prepared for Gulf War II Erica Evans Columnist Good filmmaking imitates life, and great film­ making sheds some light on the same subject. "Wag the Dog" is an example of a film that could be real­ ity instead of a satire, spoofing the recent questions surrounding Bill Clinton's problems with weapons in Iraq and sexual indiscretions at home. In the chaos of the Clinton sex scandal (let's see, this would be Clinton sex scandal number three), Mr. President has focused a lot of his energy on Iraq. Iraq is a convenient diversion from his carnal knowledge of women who have come out of the woodwork. However, the snowballing Clinton sex scandal has more to do with Iraq than most Ameri­ cans think. This is not the first time Clinton's moral char­ acter has come into question. But he was re-elected, because the economy was good and the other can­ didates had stranger problems, if that is possible. Americans didn't want to risk electing a president with higher morals who would skew the financial well-being of the country. "Why mess with some­ thing that's really not that bad?," we thought. And now, our opinions of the president seem to be divided—not into two camps of right or wrong, but three. Some are against his behavior, some think it's all right, and a frighteningly large group of Ameri­ cans don't care and simply want the problem to go away. Don't ask, don't tell, Bill. Some would argue that, instead of serving as a world police force, America is more like the school bully waiting for challengers on the playground. Saddam Hussein is one of these challengers. His way of tap dancing—okay, stomping— around the United Nations Security Council Resolu­ tion has United States administrators worried, even though he has yet to be hostile to neighboring Arab nations, or even the U.S. That is, if you excuse his anti-American propa­ ganda and sentiments. Just what does he have in mind for those weap­ ons of mass destruction he's hiding in his palaces? They certainly aren't "objets des arts." His conten­ tion that UN inspectors should not be allowed to search the sacred palaces doesn't hold water. If those palaces are so sacred, why use them to shelter chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction? Would I hide a stick of dynamite in my mother's antique hope chest? With this knowledge and an accompanying suspicion of Hussein's activities, the American mili­ tary has already begun to mobilize more than one carrier from the Mediterranean Sea to the Persian Gulf. In the future, these carriers will be used for air strikes. Right now, this is just a show of force. Our nation has the technology to combat the same chemical and biological weapons Hussein is said to have used in the last Gulf conflict. The carriers parked in Hussein's swimming pool are there to re­ mind him that America is not passive about his re­ jection of arms inspections. But exactly how determined are we, as a na­ tion, to see justice served? The sad truth is that Americans feel the same way about a potential second Gulf conflict as they do about Clinton sex scandal number four, five or....oops, I lost count. Psychologically, America is not ready for an­ other Persian Gulf War. With the noisy distraction from Clinton's harem, U.S. citizens are numb to the distasteful odor of a fishy federal administration. The truth is, we have a lot to worry about. Even with a little help from Britain, politicians and dignitaries are not having a lot of luck garnering worldwide support for a strike against Iraq. Arab nations will not lift a finger unless they see trouble from the Iraqi border. These nations seem as apathetic as we are. And there still remains the problem of Congress passing a resolution to attack or "intimidate" Iraq. A resolution is just a politically correct word for an old-fashioned war. Pursuing another conflict with Iraq will bring more Gulf illness syndromes, more lost lives, more doubt about our current leader, and more overall turmoil to America. When it's all over, there will probably be Top 40 versions of our national anthem performed by many different artists, more special Gulf Syndrome clinics and many more TV movies. If only to avoid the TV movies, it's time for Americans to start asking why we are picking this fight. Campus Perspectives Question: Do ASU athletics have strong student fan support?

"I'm not happy, I'm very disap­ pointed. It's really ridiculous," said Appalachian's Head Coach Barbie Breedlove. Appalachian entered the game with the best scoring defense in the South­ ern Conference (62.7 points a game), and demonstrated their defensive dominance the Mountaineers early in the contest. Furman made only two field goals in the first 10:33 of the game as the Mountain­ eers grabbed a 14-5 advantage. The Mountaineersstarted the sec­ ond half with a pair of buckets from jun­ ior Beth Schoolfield as ASU jumped out to a 31-21 lead just 1:35 into the second half. Furman responded to the Appa­ lachian start with eight straight points to cut the margin to two with 16:43 remain­ ing. The Mountaineers were able to keep the advantage until the Lady Paladins' Heidi White hit a bucket to put Furman up to stay at 34-33 with 11:55 to go in the contest. The Lady Paladins displayed their killer instinct as they put Appalachian away with a devastating 21-2 run to put themselves up by 18 at 55-37 with under six minutes to play. "We weren't tough today. Furman just wanted it more. We didn't play with confidence," said Breedlove. She also said the Mountaineers weren't focused in the second half. The loss drops ASU to 9-14 on the season and 8-6 in conference play. The Mountaineers remain in fifth place with a week to go in the regular season. "We must find our toughness. We don't have enough talent or depth to be successful without toughness," said Breedlove. Schoolfield was the lone Moun­ taineer in double figures with 22 points. Sophomore guard Noel Dolan, who had scored in double digits in seven straight, struggled from behind the arc. She was only able to connect on one of six three point attempts. Freshman forward Jamie Gagliano, who is the tenth best rebounder in the league, snagged 12 boards. Appalachian shot 32 percent from the field and was three of 15 from threepoint range, but it was their defensive col­ lapse in the second that cost them the game. The Mountaineers also hurt them­ selves again by committing 14 turnovers in the second half, twice as many as they had in the first half of play. It was only the fourth time in conference play this season that ASU was out-rebounded as Furman grabbed 42 boards to the Moun­ taineers 37. The preseason media pick for first place, Furman now stands at 14-11 over­ all, 10-4 and in third place. The Lady Pala­ dins were led by three time conference player of the week, Jackie Smith. Smith registered a Lady Paladin record fifteenth double-double of the sea­ son with 15 points and 11 rebounds. Eliza­ beth Noethling scored 13 points and Tonya Bristow chipped in 12. Haley Cook and Heidi White were also in double figures with 10 points apiece. ASU will conclude the regular season this Saturday at Davidson, taking on the Lady Wildcats. Appalachian will try to sweep the season series with Davidson. ASU beat the Lady Wildcats earlier this season in Boone, 75-69. Lady Mountaineer Notes Beth Schoolfield was the only Mountaineer in double digit scoring with 22 points against Furman. It marked only the second time this season that ASU only had one player in double digits. The other time was a 41-81 toss at Tulane when Schoolfield scored 14. Appalachian's loss to Furman marks the first time since the 1994-95 season that the Lady Paladins have swept the season series with ASU. Furman's Jackie Smith leads the Southern Conference in scoring (19.9) and re­ bounding (11.2). Smith's 11.2 rebounding average ranks 20th in the nation. Tiffany Chappell had made at least one field goal in each of her last 19 game before going 0-7 from the field against Furman. ri$n s °olfield led Appalachian State with 22 points against (photo by Marvin Evans) aLrday Appalachiaii s 8-6 conference marks guarantees the Mountaineers their 13th sea­ son without a losing conference record in 15 years of play in the Southern Confer­ ence. New soccer coach hired ASU Sports information T.J. Kostecky, formerly the men's soccer coach and athletics di­ rector at Pfeiffer University, has been named Appalachian State University's new men's soccer coach. The appoint­ ment was announced by Director of Athletics Roachel Laney. Kostecky, 38, compiled a 4627-5 record in four seasons at Pfeiffer, capturing Carolinas Conference titles twice (1994 &1997), and he was twice named Carolinas-Virginia Coach of the Year. In addition to his coaching duties, Kostecky served as director of athletics since 1995, supervising an NCAA Division II program with eight women's and seven men's intercolle­ giate teams. Prior to his stint at Pfeiffer, Kostecky spent six years as the men's soccer coach at the New Jersey Insti­ tute of Technology in Newark. Dur­ ing his tenure, he posted a 67-37-11 record, capturing two conference crowns (1991 &1992) and qualifying for ECAC post-season championship play four times (1988, 1990, 1991, 1992). He was also named as coach of the year twice. The North Carolina State Olympic Development Coach the past three years, Kostecky served as head coach of the New Jersey Olympic De­ velopment squad for eight years. Two of his former players were selected to the U.S. Olympic team, and seven per­ formers were chosen for the U.S. Na­ tional squad. A native of Fords, N.J., Kostecky founded and served as na­ tional chairman for the U.S. Youth Soccer Association of America and a member of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. He was also a member and former presi­ dent of the New Jersey College Soc­ cer Coaches Association. A two-time graduate of East Stroudsburg (Pa.)

Staff Writer Countries accused of human rights violations often cite their cultural differ­ ences in defense of violations, Barth said. According to Barth, these countries believe that the United States and other western nations should respect their cul­ tures. Human rights organizations believe that some issues transcend cultural bound­ aries, said Barth. "You want to respect someone else because of their culture, but you say, 'this is wrong'," he added. Melody Schwantes, a student at Appalachian and member of Amnesty In­ ternational, encourages people to promote human rights. "A lot of these situations, I think, if more people knew about, they would be actually interested in helping," said Schwantes. Schwantes tries to help free politi­ cal prisoners by writing letters to foreign governments. According to Schwantes, if govern­ ments know people are concerned about the mistreatment of people, then they are more likely to set political prisoners free. Many people might believe they can't make a difference in the battle for Increasing awareness and recogniz­ ing the 50th anniversary of the United Na­ tions Universal Declaration of Human Rights are the goals of Human Rights Week at Appalachian State University. There are four events to take place during Human Rights Week, Feb. 16-22. These events include an Amnesty International Movie, Deep Ecology Video, a discussion about migrant workers and a presentation about Guatemala and Hon­ duras. The purpose of Human Rights Week is to raise people's levels of awarness about human rights' issues. "There are certain basic things that we should be able to think that are ac­ corded to us," said Director of the Equity Office Melissa Barth. Human rights issues range from personal safety to the right to express freely who you are, without fear of being punished, said Barth. Countries such as China, Rwanda, Guatemala, Honduras and Tbrkey are well-known for their poor human rights, but human rights violations occur throughout the world, said Barth.

The new field course, entitled The Natural History of Hawaii, is offered by the Department of Biology. Dr. Matthew Rowe and Dr. Howard Neufeld of the Department of Biology will lead the trip. Rowe calls the Hawaiian islands a "remarkable biological laboratory" and reasons that the isolation of the islands has accentuated the great diversification of species. Rowe sees the trip as an opportu­ nity to "expose students to [Hawaiian] plants and animals and the processes that gave rise to them." According to Rowe, the Hawaiian islands have been hurt by "human thumbprints like high rises and pineapple planters, starting with the first Hawaiians 1,500 years ago." He said that species on the islands are now extinct due to mongooses, mosqui­ toes and rats that have been transported there by humans. Rowe cited the early aristocracy of Hawaii as a contributor to the extinction of a species of bird because they wore ceremonial gowns made with the bird's feathers. Neufeld feels that the field study will allow students to have the opportunity to learn about Hawaii's cultural history and how European invasions brought viral havoc to the islands in the form of measles, small pox and other variables that affected the native species. aided the people who lived in the colony According to Neufeld, the on­ until he contracted leprosy and died.

D The Appalachian State University Student Senate heard reports from within the senate last night at the Student Gov­ ernment Association business meeting. To increase the student voter turn­ out, the SGA is amending its voting op­ portunities, reported SGA Rules Commit­ tee Chairperson Krista Whitt. The first way of making the student body elections student-friendly is by in­ creasing the number of polls accessible to off-campus students, said Whitt. Additional polls will be set up in Raley Hall and near Walker Hall, as well as in the Plemmons Student Union, said Whitt. This year, the ballots will be on scan-tron sheets rather than paper ballots, Whitt said. According to Whitt, another differ­ ence in the electoral procedure is the implementation of absentee voting. "For students who aren't on cam­ pus at the time of the scheduled voting times, they can fill out an absentee ballot before they leave town," Whitt said. Students who are allowed to fill out absentee ballots are students who are on athletic trips and other school activities, Whitt said. Another option that will occur in future years is the implementation of tele­ phone registration voting, but this is only in the primary stages, said Whitt. SGA Vice President Jake Parker an­ ticipates that the new method of elections will increase student turnout. "The new implementation will hopefully bring out people to vote that normally wouldn't do so," said Parker. "It will also speed up the results," he said. The senate also heard a report on the University of North Carolina Associa­ tion of Student Governments (UNC-ASG) from SGA Student Affairs Director Nick Schuster. Schuster briefed the senate on a 1997-98 plan for action that the non­ profit, non-partisan organization is imple­ menting. In unfinished business, the senate approved a piece of legislation that rec­ ommends a vote on the Board of Gover­ nors for the UNC-ASG president. The vote on the board applies to restoring the student voice, said Legisla­ tion Author, Senator Antoine Lilly. Sherrie Huffman Staff Writer This Valentine's Day, needy people in Watauga, Ashe and Avery counties will receive over 40,000 pounds of potatoes to curb a winter hunger epedemic. The potatoes will be provided as a result of efforts from the Society of St. Andrew, the Watagua County Red Cross and the Watauga County Hunger Coali­ tion, said Executive Director of the Watauga County Hunger Coalition, Ceia Webb. The Society of St. Andrew is a na­ tional association committed to fighting hunger nationwide by addressing one of the nation's hunger problems, food waste, said Webb. Webb said The Society sponsors a "gleaning" project, which involves pota­ toes from Maine that aren't considered perfect for selling, due to size and shape, but are still fit for consumption. The Society received the donations from generous farmers and are sending diff ent parts of . antry, ir eluding the aforementioned counties. Webb said that the potatoes will be d elivered to the Food Lion loca- d at the Boone Mall. Once they reach Food Lion, volun­ teers from the three counties will distrib­ ute the potatoes to various non-profit or­ ganizations, such as Project on Aging branches that assist the elderly, Meals on Wheels, OASIS, the Hunger Coalition and various other organizations dedicated to feeding the hungry. 'The greatest part about this project is that it involves so many volunteers and organizations working together to help our neighbors," Webb said. "It's a real 'neighbor helping neigh­ bor" program that focuses our attention and energy where it is needed most—right here," she said. Webb said while this is a wonderful effort to feed the hungry, volunteers are needed to assist in distributing the pota­ toes to area organizations. "We need people with strong ba< s to help load and unload the potatoes" Webb said. "We will need to deliver over 40/*;, nounds of potatoes v\ \ ' als appro> mately 820 bags that v>i,iV. 50 pour see Harvest on page 3 �The Appalachian 12 peb Page 2 The Student Media Boarc Seeks Qualified Applicants for the Positions of: Wii 1* Sur [BStiCOi jApartn sVery |v!62-: I • ERLE ;siP SC.Grea Editor-in-Chief meeker' HRIT TR WHICH MM mc 51SSS «c ffliAC JSOUT' 51998.

A point brought up by a newly-acquired friend of mine was the actual calendar significance of Valentine s Day. Most couples put more time and effort into their own personal anniversaries, and understandably so. Why celebrate on a day when everyone else is doing it? Seems to me that celebrating a personal anniversary would mean much more because it's just that, personal.

"THEY," of course, refers to any homosexual, man or woman; and "I," of course, refers to the ho­ mophobic under consideration. While this is not a completely biased and violent objection to homo­ sexual behavior, it is certainly a sheltered view of the real world. Fortunately, various university organizations— including the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership and the Equity Office—care enough about campus diversity to bring "THEIR" activities to Ap­ palachian State University. You don't have to see it, but anew photography exhibit in the student union's Multicultural Center presents the realities of homo­ sexual relationships. Entitled "Love Makes a Family: Living in Lesbian and Gay Families," the exhibit fo­ cuses not on sinful sex. Rather, through black and white photos and well-written text, the collection shows that homosexual families, though unconven­ tional, do not differ much from the traditional mom and dad experience. The exhibit is a traveling collection of photo­ graphs and essays of and by lesbians and gays, as well as their family members—including children. A group called Family Diversity Projects organized the exhibit in the hope of reducing homosexual stereo­ types. As outlined in the exhibit's informational bro­ chure, "The silence about lesbian and gay lives that pervades our schools and our society is not only the companion of abuse, but the foundation." In simpler terms: I don't want to see it" feeds the hatred and misunderstandings that force gays back into the in­ famous closet. Through a combination of images and words, Love Makes a Family" addresses these issues and focuses on families that have found their places in society. The name of the exhibit is fitting: no mat­ ter the parents, love creates the bonds of strong fami­ lies. The photography is tasteful, even moving in some instances. My fear is that many students and faculty will hear about the exhibit and assume that this is a collection of men kissing men, or women caressing women. Many will see this as a flagrant, in-your-face homosexual show. They will hear of the exhibit and think that gay people are, once again, trying to force their views upon those with different perspectives. Rather, the individuals featured in these photo essays simply attempt to raise awareness. They make no effort to flaunt their views. This differs from the popular tactics of anti-gay activists, who scream of see Exhibit on page 6 Letters to the Editor 90.5—NOT The Crap To the Editor: I read with great interest the letter by Richard Gambill concerning 90.5 The App. If he thinks that is bad, he should see how they handle the reprogramming of the cable system out to the dorms and Moun­ taineer Apartments. A few of the stations have a lot of bleed-over from stations of different origins. ASU has Channels 2 and 20 designated for the university's use. They do use these channels to broadcast the Marque messages on 2 and DW (German TV) on 20; however, they insist on taking over Channel11 (which should be WJHL out of Johnson City, Tenn.) with SCOLA, and Channel 5 with whatever floats their boat instead of what is WCYB out of Kingsport, Tenn. In their broadcasts, both of these channels have better coverage of the Boone area than any of the Charlotte and Winston-Salem systems. I have seen broadcasting that gave the appearance of a classroom monitored by a camera to insure no cheating was going on during a test. If the university wants to broadcast this campus radio station, then it should be done on Channels 2 and 20. The censorship and control of the media in the manner dictated (yes dic­ tated) is the same thing that takes place in countries like Cuba, North Korea, the former Soviet Block coun­ tries. When will ASU communications/broadcasting give up the sickle and hammer bringing down the barriers that are in comparison to the Berlin Wall? It seems that whoever is in control has used up all the free drops and retakes allowed, the same that you and I have available to us when we have problems with a class or receive a less than desirable grade. We usually do all right the second time around. It looks like they never will. So, Mr. Gamble, I com­ pletely agree with you. However, there is nothing you or I can do about it. The only way things can change is if every one raises their voice to let it be known as to what we want, and not what some egotist wants just because he/she can do it.

Some of the pictures show se couples with their children, ne are children by previous hetsexual relationships, others inve adoption. You may be surprised to see N natural these families look. The smiles are genuine. No one appears uncomfortable; the chil­ dren do not look at their parents with disgust. The accompanying essays continue the message begun by the photographs. Each story is differ­ ent. Some have always been gay; others changed their perspectives after realizing that heterosexuality was not for them. In most cases, children did not have a problem with homo­ sexuality. This is best expressed by a statement from one of the children: "There's two mommies to get comfort from. Like if you have a bad dream, there's two mommies to come and cuddle with." To some, that is sick and unnatural. To me, it is quite moving, express­ ing the ultimate in unconditional love that can only be offered through a child's heart. A letter to the editor in this issue of The Appalachian expresses hope that students will visit the exhibit, and skill peruse its con tents without bias or hate. I echo these encouragements. I hear the jokes and the negative comments about homo­ sexuals; I hear the stereotypes, and I want so badly to make people open their eyes. I have very little power in this respect. I would con­ tradict myself if I wanted to im­ pose my views on anyone. But I do want to express my gratitude to those who brought this exhibit to Appalachian. If any­ thing, at least a few people under­ stand that homosexuality is not the driving forces behind these fami­ lies; in fact, it is a very minute as­ pect of their daily lives. They've gotten over it. They're dealing with it. Maybe a few other people should follow that example. Cupid from page 5 Walk this way. Visit The Appalachian's office—second floor, Plemmons Student Union. Tell us what you think! Finally, I would like to com­ ment on the statement that all Ambassadors "look like a copy of a J. Crew model." I encourage any­ one (as I did the reporter) that believes this to be true to look at the composition of our group. We are a diverse group of individuals that cannot be stereotyped into any one category. (Anyway, I think that if I really looked like a copy of a J. Crew model, I would have more dates.) In conclusion, I would like to thank The Appalachian for giv­ ing me the opportunity to clarify last week's article. The Ambassa­ dor organization is very excited about its current membership drive and is looking forward to a successful semester of volunteer service to Appalachian State Uni­ versity.

Lucas Pasley ASU Box 163S2 Clinton issue ignored To the Editor: Adapted from the 1909 Frances Hodgson Burnett children's classic. The Oakland Ballet Sunday, February 15,b 3:00 Matinee . Farthing Auditorium 97 90 Performing Arts Series Clay Harshaw ch26037@appstate.edu Dancers ruined Bela To the Editor: On Monday night, I left Far­ thing Auditorium with a very un­ settled feeling. There was nothing wrong with the performance I had just seen. In fact, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones' performance was nothing short of extraordinary. I showed up that night feeling great appreciation that a band of their stature had chosen to play at ASU. It was a definite score. There was a great diversity of people in the audience, as there usually is at Bela's shows. Many were college students, many were long-time bluegrass and jazz fans, people with their parents, but ba­ sically we were all music lovers. The problems began when a cer­ tain portion of the audience, mostly ASU students, completely disregarded their fellow audiencemembers and acted in a way that detracted from the whole occasion for everybody, including the band. From the beginning, there were clumps of people that felt it nec­ essary to stand up in front of their seats, despite the dozens of people behind them that consequently lost view of the performers. My main gripe, however, is about the 80 or so pseudo-hippie dancers that eventually moved all the way down the side aisles to the front row. If that wasn't obnoxious enough, during the last song of the first set, they actually ran in front of the entire front row audience members and planted themselves. They then proceeded to noodledance for the rest of the set, two feet in front of the previous frontrow members. Thankfully, during setbreak, the event staff decided to restrict the dancers to the side aisles. There was still the occa­ sional moron that would randomly stand up from his/her seat to watch the band from two feet higher. Again, there was no regard for the unfortunate people behind them. When the band came back out for the second set, Bela him­ self thanked the dancers for not repeating their front-row rush in the future. He did it quite diplo­ matically. My point of this response is not to say that people should never dance at live musical perfor­ mances. That would be ridiculous. My point is that there is definitely a time and a place for these audi­ ence behaviors... Phish shows? No problem. Bar scenes? Fine. The upcoming Ziggy Marley show in the gym? Kosher. But when you go to a nice auditorium where people have paid to sit in assigned seats to watch and hear some of America's best instrumentalists perform, it is not appropriate to act the way many people did at the concert. It bothered me to think that's how ASU students were rep­ resented that night. They were rep­ resenting this image to Bela and the Flecktones as well as the rest Virginia Staton For tickets or information, call 262-4046 $6 for ASU Students and Children Id and under $12 for Seniors and ASU Staff & Faculty $15 for All Others In "Point/Counterpoint: The Bill Clinton Scandals," both Mr. Kinner and Mr. Glass failed to ad­ dress the real issues of the current scandal. One of the issues is whether or not the president asked his staff and others to lie while under oath. If he indeed made the requests, it is obstruction of justice. A separate issue is whether or not the president committed perjury in sworn testimony. In either case, the American public needs to be in­ formed of the proceedings. The president's sex life is his business as Mr. Kinner stated. However, when his sexual antics lead to criminal activities, it be­ comes public business. vAp: $ / CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT 895 State Farm RdSte 210 Phone #: 265-0661 •Income Tax Preparation and Accounting Services •Accurate,reliable,fast service Appalachian •Personal attention •Affordable rates Tired of juggling your taxes?

Local restaurants agree that w i t h Valentine's Day falling on a Saturday this year, busi­ ness will prob­ ably not be any heavier than it would be if it fell on a weeknight. W h e n Valentine's Day falls on a weeknight, business usu­ ally doubles, and sometimes even triples. Gwen Dhing, manager of Makoto Seafood and Steak House of Japan, said, "It's one of our busiest days." Dhing said ASU students account for about onefourth of Makoto's business. Valentine's Day is about more than giving gifts and going out to eat. It's about celebrating love and the Relation­ ships you have with others. Dr. Denise Glassman, a staff member of the ASU Counseling Center and co-host of WASLTs LoveTalk, has some advice to offer when it comes to all this love stuff. When it comes to why we as hu­ mans have this need to love, it boils down to love being a part of who we are. "I consider it almost like a human instinct, like an attachment, to be close to another, to have a partner, to have a companion. Love would kinda come out of that closeness and companionship," Glassman said. Most people have a need to have a partner and have someone to share their life with. "A lot of people, maybe even too much so, get their self-esteem from a lov­ ing relationship- which can be unhealthy, because if you depend too much on your A n v * fL Pat Allen partner, you are relying on them or your needs to do, even if you do have a part­ self-concept," Glassman said.

Like most students here at ASU, I'm accustomed to adverse weather this time of year. But, I don't believe any of us were prepared for the "freak of nature" that descended on Boone the eve of Jan. 27, which continued on for two more days. Little did I know that, on that evening, my life would take an unexpected turn, due to events beyond my control. First of all, let me explain. I'm not your conventional 18 to 21-year-old col­ lege student but, rather, I'm what ASU calls a "non-traditional" student. I am a man who is 45 years old (older that most students' parents) who was "downsized" by my last employer, and who has finally found his niche in life. I want to teach, and that is what brings me to ASU. Anyway, back to the adventure. I decided around Jl:30 a.m., that fateful Tuesday morning, that if I was to make it home to Spruce Pine, I had better get my car out of the Greenwood parking lot on Bodenhimer Drive ( the infamous, step winding road to parking Heaven). I still had classes until 5:30 p.m., but decided to throw caution to the wind, or in this case the blizzard. Needless to say, the snow was al­ ready close to a foot deep at Greenwood, and I realized another plan would have to be utilized. I tried calling the Campus Police to see if they could perhaps bring a fourwheel-drive and a chain to pull me out, but I was informed that this would be against school policy. Since when is help­ ing a student who, in the long run, pays your salary, against school policy? Anyway, I was informed that I see Storm page 8 Cnad Campbell, Chad Parker, David Crump and Jason Swanson pose with their stranded new friend, Pat Allen (photo provided by Pat Allen). . Ill 111 III �The; The Appalachian 10 Love from page 7 mantic attachment," she said. Looking at Valentine's Day as a day just for couples can be disappointing, because people think about what they don't have, and what other people do have. This leads to idealizing a romance. "Everyone has a relation­ ship they can celebrate. Expand your definition or expectation of what Valentine's Day is, and not be unreasonable about it by just seeing it as a passionate, intimate relationship to celebrate," Glassman said. Valentine's Day offers op­ portunities to enhance a relation­ ship, as well. Glassman said that Valentine's Day is the one day where we can nurture our relation­ ships, allowing people to learn that Valentine's Day can be every day. Images fill our minds daily with what love should be about. The idea of the perfect couple is displayed to us daily through com­ munication. "So much of what we see on television, in movies and on video is that perfect kind of love, and that's not what life's about," Glassman said. 'There are going to be ups and downs. The key is not to have downs. The key is to be able to work through, and stick through, and manage those peri­ ods together." Relationships move from a stage of infatuation, in which your partner seems perfect, to more mature level, in which aU the quirks and imperfections about your partner come out. Glassman said appreciating each other and letting go of fantasies is the key. "A relationship is not based on infatuation, so people have to be realistic," Glassman said. When people aren't happy in a relationship, they have two choices. Oneistoleave tionship, and the other work through the relatillN your partner.

Thanks for nothing! I guess Chad Campbell noticed I was in need of a friend, when he spied this wet, cold, wor­ ried older person sitting alone in the App Heights lobby, mumbling incoherently to himself. I was resigned to the fact that I would simply sleep in one of the lobby chairs and fill my belly with nutritious food from the vending machines. I had at least been able to call my wife to tell her I'd try to get out the next day. Little did I know, the snow would only get worse.

I was given dry clothes to wear, warm food to eat, a place to stay, and I was checked on con­ stantly to make sure that I was doing okay. My stay at Appalachian Heights stretched into two days and two nights, before I was able to get my car out through a local wrecker service. I know a lot of older people like myself think today's young people are insensitive and spoiled, but I have had my faith restored. The next day, my car was reduced to a white lump with nothing but an antenna protrud­ ing through the snow. The wrecker company quoted a price of $40 over the phone (this was all the cash I had with me). Upon pulling me to safety, I was informed that the bill would actually be $50, and if I didn't want to pay this amount, they would be more than happy to "put me back in the hole," or impound my car for who knows how much more money. I was frantic. I was given five minutes to make up my mind. I know there are guardian angels, and mine is Chad Campbell. He appeared out of no­ where and gave me the extra money I needed to be on my way. He never asked for repay­ ment (though, of course, I did) but was only concerned that I get home to my wife.

Unfortunately, Aho came ion the short end of the stick as Westi scored two tries and an extra kick int to ASU's single try scored by back cGebicke. The common spectator on the elines could see that ASU was lagging :whole game through. The game was uphill battle as the Aho scrum uggled.

The "whys" of their loss seemed * more important than the few high its of the game. After the game, the ruggers had a humble and introverted teanor as they each deconstructed rteam and personal performances. One of the few ASU highlights in game came from backs Don Sloan and s Waddell as they complimented the 'y Gebicke and support from Steven "Eric read that play well," said J J ,, , , . Sloan. Waddell added, "Steve got it there and Eric made the try." Sophomore Keller said it best, "I'm not blaming it on anything. It was just a lack of practice." These sentiments were the same throughout the team. Sloan said, "The guys didn t move well. It was pretty bad actually." Sophomore Greg Cable had more uplifting words, "We've got a long way to go and I believe we've got the heart for it, we've just got to find it." Club President Matt "Hawk" Swaney thought that this loss would strengthen the team more as a lesson and reminder. H^went on to say, "It's time for the younger pepple to step up and start win­ ning for themselves." What exactly could have attributed to this formerly suc­ cessful team's struggle? The answer is simple: graduation. Aho Rugby lost five to December graduation, which was a good portion of their A-side scrum. These were the guys who re­ ally led Aho last semes­ ter, said Swaney. Now the team is breaking in new guys and giving some of the old B side guys the chance to start. Only hooker Chris Range, prop Travis Snow and Swaney on the second row have returned to the scrum. While many of the backs are new to playing with each other, it's a very fresh team. "We need to be in a lot bet­ ter shape and need to get used to The rugby squad in action at West­ ern Carolina.

Progress made toward Welborn Hall renovations Ric Beard Staff Writer The Architectural Review Commit­ tee will meet with prospective architec­ tural firms this week to decide who will plan the renovations of Welborn Hall. Welborn Hall, the main eating fa­ cility on campus, has been in need of reno­ vations for some time. , Director of Food Services Ron Dubberly said that most of the sewer lines and water lines are more than 25 years old and therefore the infrastructure will be the first priority of construction. The second priority of the renova­ tion effort is to offer students a fresh en­ vironment when they dine in the Welborn Hall cafeteria, said Dubberly. According to Dubberly, Food Ser­ vices will enlist the help of food service consultants to help decide what changes can be made to improve the appearance of the serving areas in the cafeteria. The consultants will hold focus meetings withASU students to allow them to give their ideas as to what different con­ cepts the cafeteria should adopt, said Dubberly. The cost of the renovations is esti­ mated between $3 million and $5 million, said Dubberly. Since Food Services is considered an "auxiliary enterprise" by the state, it does not receive state money and has to use its own money to pay for the construc­ tion. Dubberly said that Food Services has been planning the renovations for al­ most seven years and has been setting money aside to afford the original $3 mil­ lion estimate. "It is possible that the cost has gone up to four or five million now," Dubberly said. This increase resulted because of new problems that have arisen since Food Services first approached the idea of reno­ vating the building. Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Jane Helm said that the Architectural Re­ view Committee will meet with three ar­ chitectural firms. The firms will give presentations at the meetings regarding the work they plan to do. The university will take factors such as the firm's experience, size and The architectural firm for the Welborm Hall renovation will be decided later this week, (photo by Marvin Evans) presentation's appearance into consider­ ation before settling on a decision as to who will get the contract.

The Leisure Study Job Market Fair will be held outside Cascades in the Plemmons Student Union today from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The fair will provide an opportunity for students to look into a summer job at a camp. "The fair will be hosting over 80 camps from North Carolina, South Caro­ lina, Virginia, Florida, Georgia and West Virginia," said representative of Confer­ ence and Institutes, Janice Carroll. The representatives will be hand­ ing out applications. If a student has a strong first im­ pression, they may be given the opportu­ nity to interview with the camp that is interested in the student, said Carroll. Representatives will be stationed at tables to answer questions about salaries, prerequisites for jobs, length of time of the job and other questions. Interviews will be set up through­ out the day, Carroll said. "Students will have the opportunity to choose from these various camps de­ pending on their particular skills and in­ terests," said the Executive Secretary of the American Camping Association, Don Wood. "The camps are eager to recruit stu­ dents from ASU," said Wood. "Students that have been hired in previous years from ASU have made a reputation of ex­ cellent employees," he said. Some of the camps that will be at the fair are girls, boys, day camps, wil­ derness camps, disability camps and oth­ ers, Wood said. "Students will be able to suit their needs, philosophy and things they want to do by being a camp counselor," said Wood. This will be the seventh year that the Appalachian Camp Fair and Leisure Study Conference and Institutes have teamed up to allow for this fair to take place, Carroll said. "The success of the fair in the pre­ vious years has drawn the camps back to ASU," said Carroll. "ASU is the elite. We have a caliber of students who add en­ hancement to the program," she said. "Working as a camp staff member will probably be the hardest job a student will ever have, but it will also be the best job they will ever have," said Wood.

An inj housing fee may seem nominal in the of a $4,500 total in-state bill, but for some ,ts, this will make a dent. Students who are not wild about the on,s housing situtation can venture into the rent market. Some might think that a cheap rent is the way to go, especially when a nt, one-bedroom unit can be shared by two Page 3 Richard Hair Columnist Is it just my imagination, or does anyone else remember a rash of puppies invading the campus last spring? For a while, I theorized that they must have been manufacturing them at the power plant, spout­ ing them out of an assembly line complete with floppy ears and hemp collars. Regardless of the source, there was a definite presence which is still making itself felt. They were running all over the mall. Students walked around cradling them like babies, and they ran across the grass after frisbees. Everywhere I looked, it seemed there was a pair of fluffy ears and teething little jaws tugging at jean cuffs. It was ador­ able, and I was quite taken with them. In the past few weeks, however,Ihave noticed a much less endearing phenomenon around Boone: full grown stray dogs. It seems the puppies have reached maturity and are finding all sorts of ways to make it onto the streets of Boone. I can't help but imagine them as the same little puppiesIwas seeing then, but now they are shivering in the snow looking mangy and gaunt, wandering out onto the streets. Almost every other day, I find myself cringing at the sight of another car screeching to a halt in front of another confused, young dog. There are strays wandering aimlessly across campus without an owner in sight. Some of them I find are friendly and eager for attention, while others are downright skittish, coming only so close to you and shying away when you reach your hand out to them. The major­ ity of them, I've noticed, will approach you but con­ tinue walking on, searching for their master. Boone is nearing critical dog mass, andI can­ not help but imagine that it is at least in part due to some of the young people who have hastily taken animals into their care. Perhaps some of them do not realize the amount of time and effort that must be devoted to properly raising and caring for a dog. In my experience, most college students do not live a lifestyle conducive to giving a dog a proper home. Many of the apartments in the area are too small to accommodate anything that gets larger than a puppy. They need space to grow into. (Have you ever seen a puppy living in a dorm room? It's a sad thing. A recent studyIconducted with my nose con­ cluded that this arrangement smells bad as well. Besides that, the general habits of many col­ lege students do not con­ form to prop­ erly raising the animals. , , They require great deal a of attention that some are just simply not able to provide. We do not live the sedentary 7' lifestyles of our parents, to the extent l S that our evenings are, many times, not spent at home. Most of us are at a time in our lives when we desire as much freedom as possible and a pet as large as a dog doesn't fit into exercising that freedom. Our lives are anything but stable; we live in a place where we are not likely to long reside. We move constantly, and our ever-changing circumstances are not healthy for a growing dog. Have you ever been to a party and it seems like everyone there brought their dogs along like mascots? Soon you find yourself sitting in the middle of a kennel with three mutts climbing all over your lap. It's an annoying thing. „ Dogs are pack animals, not party animals. They require your presence and a stable household with which to interact. Near-constant supervision is re­ quired in their early years, and not everyone can of­ fer the guidance which is necessary for them if they are to develop a stable personality. Not only does the failure to play and spend time with them impede their interactions with strang­ ers, but the failure to discipline them ruins their per­ sonalities and their ability to function within your home. Not disciplining them is worse than not pay­ ing them any attention. Popping a young dog on the nose when he chews up a shirt sleeve is not animal cruelty, especially when it is my shirt. Letting a dog run loose into traffic on King Street because you are too busy to keep an eye on it, now that's cruelty. Of course they are going to tear up the trash and crap on the floor if you always leave them at home by t h e m - selves. These are all demanding :s£ and impor­ tant needs, and it is im­ portant to realize the significance of the obliga­ vtion one enters into when one buys a dog. It is an ani­ mal en­ trusted to you, and it becomes your responsibility to care for it, not just to the best of your ability, but completely. If someone cannot fufill these obligations, I do not understand why they would take one into their care. I simply question some people's motives in buying a dog.Inotice most say, "I just got a puppy" Nobody ever says, "I just got a dog." They seem to enter into the relationship with little notion of the fleeting nature of puppyhood. For a while, it is just another cute toy with everyone oohing and aahing. Lately there is a "keeping up with the Joneses" feel to the situation. Everyone wants a little doggy of their very own. I am disgusted when I see a dog wandering around in a strange house after a party while almost everyone has gone to sleep, whining to please be fed. Ican't stand to see another person visit with a fright­ ened, malnourished dog trailing nervously behind them or another tiny, newspapered bathroom full of neglected puppies and their feces left sitting all over the floor.Inever want to see another smallPSI apart­ ment with four large animals cooped up inside, and I don't want to see another obnoxious dog running "Dogs are pack animals, not party ariirn&l resence stable household in I JI which to interact." see Canines on page 4 O beautiful, for spacious...cars Bigger is better—or so the world keeps telling us m Wmml Justin Bell Columnist If the map you get at the front of Kmart is small enough to carry, the Kmart is too damn small. Imagine that, Kmart has maps. Our whole country is obsessed with the con­ cept of more. That's the problem with a country of capitalists. You can now double the beef in your nachos, super size your combo. . . or bet­ ter yet, insurance-size it! If your heart attack occurs during your visit, your family eats for free.

Yes, a meal that includes five strips of ba­ con, two-and-a-half pounds of ground beef, nine pieces of all American cheese, two season passes to Duke University's hos­ pital and a skilled Japanese heart surgeon. But if you got your food in the drive-thru, you must be in a car, and in the 1990s, two wheels just aren't enough. Four-wheel drive and a gasoline engine is a must for any real American. You can only have so much fun in a car that won't go off-road. How else are you supposed to avoid stoplights? But don't stop with your car. Your old com­ puter isn't fast enough either. Now you can get four different versions of Windows and a hard drive big enough to park a Chevy in. Maybe bigger. Girls, chest not big enough? Implants are the answer.

So, while eating your Monster Burger and driv­ ing your Suburban, you're going to need somewhere really big to shop. That's why Blockbuster has thou­ sands of movies, Best Buy has millions of CDs, Kmart has a map and Iraq has hundreds of bombs. But sur­ veys show most of us shop at Wal-Mart, and few of us can afford bombs. All you deer out there, thought crossing a fourlane highway was bad?

I play guitar on a 100-watt stack with four 12inch speakers. My computer is roughly the size of EMIAC: it draws half the power the campus uses. My car has a 350 V-8, and most of the time, I drive a full-size van. I make sandwiches with five pieces of ham and four pieces of bread.Iusually have to hire a small engineer­ ing firm to help with construc­ tion.

So although the watt­ age of my stereo is actually higher than my I.Q., it seems a worthy endeavor to ponder the direction of things, espe­ cially in a crazy world like this one. And now I will reluctandy address a topic whichI have never been able to address reluctantly. Sorry. It is possible for two things to be occurring si­ multaneously which entirely contradict each other, be it two laws of nature, one person who constandy disagrees with him or herself, or opposing trends. It seems to me a truly enlightened soul would understand issues from different perspectives, since opinions basically are perspectives, and would there­ fore disagree with themselves on a regular basis. That in mind, I legitimately disagree with ev­ erything Ijust wrote. Computers are getting smaller. Society says thin people are more attractive. Most foods now claim to be low-fat, low-cho­ lesterol, and low-priced. Cars are way smaller than they were 40 years ago. Everything in the grocery store, from snack foods to hygeine products, are now available in an annoying size known as "mini." And my ego is shrinking at an exponential rate. In summary, I am a complete fool. "It's strange thai a [it up with' expects soi% from its Members." hell of a highway before too long.

It s strange that a society so caught up with more expects so little from its members.

It was almost refreshing to see that th(?y had not been totally brainwashed, and they could act like typical children. Through the many moving ren­ ditions of folk songs from Germany, Ja­ pan and Vienna, the larger-than-life little boys proved their worth through and through. The Vienna Boys Choir was a part of the Performing Arts Series, spon­ sored by the Office of Cultural Affairs. ASU was lucky to land such a world-renowned act.

"The idea behind the Interna­ tional Floor is to pair American stu­ dents with international students. The American students can then serve as mentors," said Pasley. He added that the arrange­ ment is also valuable to the growth of American students, andit is something that looks good on a resume. When asked if the setting helped him, Angel Rivero Palamo, a student from Mexico, replied, "Yes, of course. You share your customs with other people and other people share their customs with you." Palamo said that this helps erase a lot of preconceived stereotypes and builds many lasting friendships. The group of students builds a family environment that many stu­ dents from other countries long for. They cook dinners and go on trips to­ gether, and their doors are always open for one another. This year, they have taken a trip to New Orleans and gone camping at Linville Gorge. Sev­ eral students are now planning a trip to Florida over spring break. Students living on the hall really enjoy the atmosphere. "If I had to live in another dorm or off campus, it wouldn't be the same," said Javier Amador-Soto, a stu­ dent from Costa Rica. "It's my home." Applications for those inter­ ested in living on the International Hall next school year are hanging on the door of the East Hall office. These should be completed and returned to Pasley as soon as possible, where a 30minute interview will be arranged. Counseling Center So, it's the morning after a big night out. You may find yourself draped over a toilet seat, clinging to the cold por­ celain. Perhaps your head is pounding so strongly that you fear your neighbors might complain, and your stomach sud­ denly becomes your worst enemy. Oh, the joys of the morning af­ ter! Not only can it be physical anguish, but soon the mental agony sets in. Memo­ ries start surfacing, bits and pieces of the night before: some are pretty humorous, others embarrassing, still others may be devastating. For example, you hooked up with this good-looking person. You both were flirting, having a great time. You weren't planning on having sex. It's not like you to have sex on the first night, but you did and are now not only nursing a hangover, but also a great deal of regret, shame, sad­ ness and fear. Of course, partying does not al­ ways have negative consequences. It's fun. People meet other folks at bars, clubs and parties. They provide a social atmosphere that is enhanced by alcohol. With alcohol, we are more apt to feel comfortable in situations that we oth­ erwise would not endure. When we drink, we lose our inhibitions; we're funnier, dance better, laugh louder, tellbetter jokes and talk to strangers with comfort. But, with lost inhibitions comes lost judge­ ment. The more you drink, the more likely it is that you will put yourself at risk. We make choices we are less likely to make when sober. When you drink, your power to make smart decisions is shot, and when your judgement is poor, it is certainly easy to violate goals for safety. For example, when sober, you may swear to yourself that you would never drink and drive. But after a few beers, you suddenly feel confident behind the wheel and talk yourself into driving home, even though you are definitely put­ ting yourself and possibly your friends in a deadly situation. It's scary. The same thing happens with re­ lationships. We are inundated with mes­ sages regarding STDs, AIDS, and preg­ nancy. When sober, we may vow to our­ selves that we will not have sex be­ fore really knowing our partner, or until mar­ ried, and us­ ing a con­ dom. Add some alcohol to that logic and you are more apt to talk yourself into a risky situa­ tion. It is sad, as folks may make decisions that conflict with their morals, leading not only to physical risks but feelings of guilt and shame. When under the influence of al­ cohol, we think in the short term. We are more impulsive and less likely to think through our decisions. It feels good in the moment, but what about the long-term consequences like reputation, self esteem and pregnancy, all of which are very im­ portant in the long run. Not only is logic diminished, but our passion or sex drive may be height­ ened. Alcohol tends to enhance our emo­ tional experiences, so we have the ten­ dency to be less thoughtful, more passion­ ate, less inhibited, more impulsive - a recipe,for potential relationship disaster. Laboratory studies have shown that in men and women, alcohol is asso­ ciated with increases in sexual arousal and failure to use condoms. Other studies have shown that date rapes are more likely to occur when either party is under the in­ fluence of alcohol. A 1991 study at the University of Virginia, the College of William and Mary and Dartmouth College revealed that ap­ proximately two-fifths of the re­ spondents at each institution reported engaging in some form of sexual activity primarily as a result of alcohol use; one quarter reported having had sexual inter­ course on ac­ count of alcohol use and onefifth reported they had aban­ doned safe sex tech­ niques that they otherwise would have used, had they not been drinking. The results of entering into an "unintentional" sexual encounter can be emotionally devastating. People experi­ ence feelings of guilt, fear, regret, sadness, low self esteem and discomfort around friends. Oftentimes in dealing with these feelings, there is a tendency to get stuck see Morning page 6 �The Appalachian 10 Page 6 Feb Morning from page 5 in the negativity and overgeneralize the experience. For example, one may start to consider him or herself to be "easy" or a "sleaze" rather than acknowledging that a mistake was made and taking measures to prevent it from happening again. Also, some people react to the mistake by resorting to extreine measures, like never going to parties again or vowing never An American Tradition 1286 Hwy. 105* Boone, NC 28607*704-265-1344 to be intimate with anyone again. Setting up these rules can lead to further isolation and depression. The key is to acknowledge your feelings, reactions, thoughts, fears and worries. Hopefully, you can then verbalize them to some­ one, a friend, family member or counselor, who can provide you with understanding, help you nor­ malize the experience, and con­ sider how you might use better judgement next time. The solution is not neces­ sarily to stop drinking altogether, but to be careful and safe. If you do drink, do so in moderation so you may loosen up but not lose control. Also, look out for your friends. If you notice them en­ gaged in a potentially dangerous situation, confront them, talk to them and try to persuade them to take better care of themselves. They may be angry, but most likely they'll thank you when they're sober. , , To help you further con­ sider how you can party safely, take part in Februarys Learn to Party programs.

The Bulldogs dropped a 27-12 match to UNCG in Charleston, S.C. Friday night. The team then bused to Appa­ lachian for Saturday's match, and was due to wrestle the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill on Sunday. Appalachian improved their record inside the confines of Varsity Gymnasium to 24-32 for the 1990s with the win. The victory marked the seventh straight for the Mountaineers on their home mat. "It was nice to be home again," Mance replied. "It was a long road trip, but this team is beginning to build some con­ fidence and that is something we need heading into the South­ ern Conference tournament." With two matches against conference opponents left on the Apps' schedule, posi­ tioning becomes important. In all likelihood, with wins in their last two contests, Appalachian will finish in a three-way tie with UNCG and Chattanooga for the Southern Conference regular season crown. The Mountaineers travel to Davidson tomorrow night and will return home Friday night to take on VMI in their Southern Confer­ ence finale. Following Friday's match with the Keydets, the Apps will close out their regular season against a pair of non-conference oppo­ nents in Georgia State and Virginia Tech.

The Mountaineers actually started the game 8-0 and looked as though they might be able to cruise to an easy victory after Marshall Phillips hit his sec­ ond three-pointer of the night to put the Apps up 11-2 less than two minutes into the game. But Furman battled back behind the great inside play of forwards Andre Kerr and Chuck Vincent and center Daniel 3riffWrS°n *'n'shed with 10 assists against Furman (photo by lri) Quigley who combined for 41 points and 25 rebounds. Yet the Mountaineers, behind Phillips 17 points, which included three uncharacteristic three-pointers and Tige Darner's 14 points, were able to kill every Furman run with big baskets of their own. However, the Mountaineers were unable to sink the big baskets when they came from behind the free-throw line. The team was 8-18 from behind the char­ ity stripe in the game but just one of nine on free throw attempts over the last ten minutes. "We kept giving Furman a chance," said CoachBuzz Peterson ol the team's missed free throws down the stretch. "In order for us to be a great team we've got to hit our free throws," Peterson added. Going into the game, the Moun­ taineers were shooting 63 percent from the charity stripe as a team. In this game the Apps converted on just 44 percent of their free throws. The winmarked the first time that Appalachian has won a game at Furman since the 1984-85 season. Since that time the Paladins owned an 11-0 record over the Mountaineers when they met in Greenville. The win also gave the Mountain­ eers a 4-0 road record in confer­ ence games this season, the best mark of any SC team away from home. Just two years ago the Apps went 0-11 on the road during the regular season. The Mountaineers are now 9-1in conference play and 15-6 overall. Davidson, which trails Appala­ chian in the North Division, re­ mained just one game behind the Mountaineers by beating UNCGreensboro 69-68 in overtime Sat­ urday. The two teams will meet at Davidson again on Feb. 19 in a game that could play a significant role in deciding who will fall where in the conference tourna­ ment bracket. Meanwhile, the Mountaineers return home Wednesday to face Wofford College in a game that will be televised on Fox Sports South.

The removal is being completed by a professional window installation com­ pany that was contracted by Appalachian State University, said Director of Housing Brad Reid. The construction began Tuesday, Feb .3 and will continue for the rest of the month. The workers will work from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. It is estimated that each room will take ap­ proximately four hours. According to Reid, removal of the windows requires breaking the window pane inward into the room. Students living in the halls were asked to remove their personal belongings from the window area, Reid said. "Most of the glass will stay inside the room, but the contracting company roped off an area around the building that could have glass in it," said Reid. The new windows have a high ther­ mal factor which will insulate the rooms more efficiently, Reid said. "The previous windows were single paned, and these are thicker," he said. To ensure the safety of students belongings in the residence halls the De­ partment of Housing hired several stu­ dents to moniter the the contractors work, said Reid. Reid recommends that after the contractors finish with the windows, stu­ dents should check out a vacuum cleaner and run over the area around the window with it. "In Bowie and Mountaineer Apart­ ments the workers only picked up the larger pieces of glass," he said. Students in Hoey were notified of the construction on Wednesday by a flyer which was handed out The rest of the residence halls will receive new windows, but not for several years, Reid said. "The remaining residence halls won't get windows for a while because of the time it takes for the process," he said. First, the university must designate funds to begin the construction process, Reid said. After that, the university must un­ dertake the process of selecting and hir­ ing an architect. The contractor must then present drawings and answer questions about the method of their work, Reid said. When that is finished, the univer­ sity must bid out the contractor, who is then awarded the job. Emily Vaughan, a resident of Hoey, feels that the construction is a necessary evil. "I think that there is a better time to do (the construction) but people are reacting badly to it," she said. "I wish they could have done it in the summer, but people should get over it.'

News Editor Updated New York Loft purchased Michelle Leen Staff Writer An updated New York City loft was recently purchased by the Appalachian State University Foundation for the use of faculty and students. "The main purpose of the loft will be a place for faculty to take his/her classes," said Director of Instructional Technology Dr. Charles Kreszock. "Secondly, it will provide students a place to live if they are going to be stay­ ing in the city for a long period of time, usually for an internship," he said. "Lastly, the loft will be for faculty doing research," said Kreszock. Funding for the loft will be provided by the ASU Foundation, Kreszock. Currently the foundation is work­ ing with an architect in NYC to design a facility that will fit the needs for ASU, he said. According to Kreszock, there will be nine rooms in the loft. The rooms include a dining area, private bed areas, a main sleeping area by gender, and bathrooms, said Kreszock. Renovations of the loft will be fin­ ished by mid-September, Kreszock said. Following the renovations, the loft will be available for use by ASU faculty and students, he said. Groups as well as individuals from ASU will be able to stay at the loft for $20 a night per bed, Kreszock said. If a student has an approved intern­ ship that is part of the ASU academic pro­ gram, the student will be able to receive a discounted rate based on the length of their stay, he said. The new loft was purchased to re­ place the old loft that had been leased since 1974, when the program began, said Kreszock. The new loft is twice the size of the previous one. Situated in a residential neighbor­ hood adjacent to a parking lot, many busi­ nesses are centrally located to the loft, Kreszock said. From the loft, one will be able to walk to the theater district, the East Vil­ lage, and a variety of restaurants and pubs, he said. "The loft is a wonderful asset for the university," said Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs Jane Helm. "It will give students opportunities that most of them do not have in the Boone area," she said. The previous New York loft, inside and out. (photo pro­ vided by the ASU News Bureau) N.C.

This increase will cost an estimated Foxx believes that she was $1 billion over the course of the next four Katie \AJn~A Ward years. The Assembly hopes that the pay in­ crease will indirectly improve education in this state, Foxx said. A main concern of her address was the impact of student fees. Her goal for the future is to instill a cap on student fees and the levels at which they may increase. According to Foxx, Appalachian State reflects some of the highest student fees in the North Carolina University sys­ tem. She expressed her concern and en­ couraged students to "deal with the ad­ ministration about why the fees are so high." However, SGA President Fernando Little would like the record to show that Fbxx's information on Appalachian's fees was incorrect. "I am concerned that the student senate received false information," Little said. "Appalachian State does not have the highest fees in the system." According to Little and the office of Student Development, Appalachian's fees rank twelfth lowest in the university sys­ tem, with only four universities coming in lower. In fact, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro has the highest student fees, costing students $851. Fayetville State has the lowest fees of only $560.

Such students often receive peace and quiet, but not without a few dirty looks.

Residence Life staff members are availikle to discipline noise makers, but the rules are iitly ambiguous.

We can tune in every evening at 6:30, and without fail, we can indulge ourselves in stories of celebrity deaths, court proceedings and political scandals—events crucial to each and ev­ ery one of our lives. Since the dawn of the age of television media, networks have consistently included the daily affairs of the President as a part of the evening news broad­ cast, no matter how trivial the event. On any given day, we might hear Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather or Peter Jennings say, "Today President Clinton took tea with the Prime Minister of England" or "President Clinton spoke with the mayors of 125 cities today" or "The President may have had an affair with a White House intern." Whoa. Since when is it anybody's business whom the President sleeps with? Why should we care how he gratifies his sexual impulses? What impact do Clinton's sexcapades have on us as individuals? Every night I have seen Clinton and Monica Lewinsky's faces on the evening news, I have asked myself these questions. I have also answered them. It is not our business whom the President sleeps with. We shouldn't care how he satiates his instinctual desires. His sexcapades have no impact on us as individuals. So why is this story on the news every night? Obviously, there are some people who would provide different answers to the questions I ask. So what's their beef? Generally, there are two arguments as to why this issue is so important. One such argument is the moral argument. How can a country as great as America, a country founded primarily upon Christian (and thus moral) principles, have such an immoral figure as its leader? How? Because it is not the job of the President to be moral. Nowhere in his oath of office does it state that he must be moral. Immorality does not affect We deserve to know the wrongdoings of our nation's leader Darin Glass Editor-in-Chief The most powerful man in the world has been caught with his pants down again. Why again? Is it even true? Who really cares? We all do. More and more, society has become increasingly less tolerant with those who do not respect women or any member of the opposite sex. But should we care that "the man" may be guilty of an immoral act? Rumors are rumors, and hopefully the truth will come out. This is the second time the media has played a major role in an event that has gained international attention. The media knows that this story has many implications and could possibly lead to some loss of power and credibility for the United States. Clinton was elected to serve this country as a decision-maker and to up­ hold the high standards of the American people. The people deserve no less. If the president has done wrong, he should be punished in the same man­ ner as anyone else. If he is proven without fault, so be it. The people have a right to know what is going on with the President. We elected him. We elected him on his job performance and his character. Would you elect a person who has a reputation of fooling around (even if it is just a rumor)? Everyone has their faults and shortcomings. But when you are in a posi­ tion of enormous power, as Clinton is, you must realize the scrutiny you will be under. Look at the society we live in today, with tabloid journalists running around snapping photos of Brad Pitt's butt. Morals should play a role in the Clinton scandal. The story is newsworthy because it involves the man who makes decisions for all of us. He represents our country. He influences many other nations to follow our lead or to fire at us. Mr. Clinton is the man with the plan, and what he does should be our business. This is our country,too. College students have been chastized in the past for being lazy or for see Clinton on page 6 see Morals on page 6 Use common sense in the snow Kevin Burnette Columnist How about all that snow we got last week! Now I hear we're supposed to get an additional 2-4 feet. That's feet, boys and girls, not inches. The sight of the National Guard driving around in their Hummers brought about quite a few recol­ lections of my childhood days in the snow.. During several of our snowbound days back home, the Guard came through the rural areas to make sure folks had heat and enough to eat. When I first saw the cam­ ouflaged Hum-v's on the snowy streets of Boone, I thought of this. Then right on the heels of that was the idea of some desperate collegiates calling the Guard to pick up a pizza and a six pack. For some of you stranded and understocked folks who are start­ ing to feel like you're stuck in "The Shin­ ing," then this might be the best ticket. Seeing all of the winter sports car­ ried out in fine Olympic style made my heart proud to be an ASU student. The extremes that people will go to to kill boredom is extraordinary, especially among college students. I saw several guys sledding down the steps beside Newland Hall, on cafeteria trays, no less. Then I saw the experts coming off the hill in front of Eggers and Winkler Halls. Those were the few who braved death not only from running headlong into a car in the Stadium parking lot but also from sliding out in front of a snowplow, only to be scraped off of the pavement after they've thawed. The real dare­ devils were those going down the hill behind the Broyhill Music Center, people who had to stop by smashing into a tree before smacking the building. Hmmm, can we mention Sonny Bono and Michael Kennedy, or would that just make the side of the music building a more popular stopping place? Back home, just give a bunch of kids an inner tube and you could watch the whole wide world of sports, mostly with the agony of defeat. You can't forget the full contact sports of ice bowl football and rugby. You didn't used to see Snow on page 6 Letters to the Editor Adminstration blind to snow To the Editor: Sometimes I wonder if people have common sense. I've been wondering a lot ever since this snow storm hit Boone. The governor of North Carolina declared Watauga County to be in a state of emergency, which lasted through Thursday, Jan. 29. On that day, many places were closed—including Lees-McRae College, the Watauga campus of Caldwell Community Col­ lege and Watauga County public schools. However, Appalachian State University stayed open. I'd like for the administration to explain what makes us differ­ ent. Contrary to popular belief, not every student lives on campus or within walking distance. Many live outside of Boone in Watauga County, or a few more miles down the road in Lenoir. It's very dan­ gerous for these people to travel. Three National Guard vehicles got stuck in the snow, yet ASU ex­ pected students, staff and faculty to be on campus at 8 a.m. My supervisor at Belk Library lives about thirty miles from campus. It took him four hours to dig out his car and drive to ASU. I know the administration will say, "Students and staff should not travel to campus if they feel their safety is jeopardized." News flash: some of us get penalized for missing class. Say, for example, your professor only allows three absences. What happens if you can't make it to school for three days due to inclement weather, but then you get the flu? Should you go to class and infect everyone, or should you stay home and accept the consequences? I wouldn't mind going to class in the snow as long as all roads, stairs and walkways were thor­ oughly plowed and salted, but they weren't. The ac­ tions of the administration during this time of emer­ gency has made me question their sense and their authority. "Firestarter" instead. Although these are great songs, I feel they are a bit overplayed. I told the D.J. no, that I did not want to hear those songs, I wanted to hear "Climbatize." Her response was something to the effect of, "Are there cuss words in that?" The song is an instrumental! I relayed that fact to her, but evi­ dently it did not matter. Now, I am not trying to hu­ miliate this disk jockey; my concern is the station itself. I have a few acquaintances who have worked at The App before, so I understand the concept of blacklisted songs, but I do not understand why a song Amanda Best would be blacklisted without containing cursing, in­ ab27277@appstate.edu nuendo or offensive lyrics. Even if this were the case, I have heard the chorus to"Smack My Bitch Up" (an­ other Prodigy song) during commercials, which con­ 90. 5—The Crap? sists of those exact words.

(Or, an explanation of'South Par I Matt Bielejeski Columnist "I've never seen 'South Park.'" I've heard these words way too often. This ordinarily blasphe­ mous answer is somewhat accept­ able for those poor, unfortunate souls who, like myself, live on cam­ pus. Due to the residence hall cable-receiving facilities, those imprisoned on campus cannot get Comedy Central and, therefore, cannot see "South Park." I've already written a col­ umn to gripe about the cable is­ sue. The only gripe I have this week is the "I've never seen 'South Park'" problem. For those who have been indoctrinated into the wisdom given by that small Colo­ rado town, bravo. You have in­ sights into the world that others can only dream of. But for those who have not yet experienced the wonder that is "South Park," allow me to con­ 'South Park," conduct a brief tour, highlighting the various wonders of this blessed show. Before I get to the tour, it's time for a "South Park" history les­ son: Mr. Garrison : Mr Hat, could you tell us how "South Park" got started? Mr. Hat: "South Park" was originally a 5-minute video Christmas card made for a Fox network execu­ tive. He liked it so much, he made copies for his friends. Eventu­ ally, the video, named "The Spirit of Christmas," went all around the country. When Comedy Cen­ tral producers saw it, they offered the creators a bundle of money to make a series. Mr. Garrison: And what was the premise behind the original video, "The Spirit of Christmas?" Mr. Hat: A Mortal Clinton from page 5 his ability to conduct foreign af­ fairs. It does not cloud his deci­ sion to use military force. It does hot prevent him from upholding the Constitution. Why does morality even matter when we have had so few tnoral presidents? In fact, I would argue that we have never had a fnoral president. George Washing­ ton cheated on his wife. Abraham Lincoln had no true desire to Emancipate slaves. And we all know about the terms of Richard "Nixon, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, terms all plagued by scandal. Did it hinder their ef­ fectiveness as leaders of America? No, it did not. Morality as an is­ sue is bunk. The other argument in­ volves the President's status as a hole model. Some people claim th'at the President is a role''model for Americans, and that he should refrain from engaging in any ac­ tivity that would diminish that po­ sition. Again, it is not the duty of the President to be a role model. Why should we look to him, of all people? Why can't we be our own fole models, as professional basketball's Charles Barkley has suggested? Since when did we Aart looking beyond our parents, teachers and ministers for role ihodels? Why should we start do­ ing so today? Finally, I would like the President's critics to consider the circumstances under which these Snow from page 5 Komhat-stvlp fiahr between t Kombat-style fight hon.mnn Jesus and Santa Claus. If that doesn't begin to give you an idea of the humor that "South Park" conveys, nothing will. The "Spirit of Christmas" video short is available for down­ load on the Internet, and has been downloaded over a million times. All right already, enough with the history. Let's get down to who makes "South Park" what it is: the characters. Stan Marsh— the leader of the gang. Generally soft-spo­ ken (except when yelling at Cartman) and well-liked. Is com­ pletely in love with Wendy Testaburger, whom he throws up i i on every time he sees her. Kyle Broslofski— the Jewish kid. Befriends a talking piece of fecal matter named Mr. Hankey in the Christmas episode. Cartman makes fun of Kyle for being Jewish, but Kyle never backs down. Kenny McCormick — if you wanted death and gore, look no further than this cartoon show. Kenny gets killed in almost every episode. The fun part is guessing how he'll die. Will he be nuked in a microwave, ripped apart playing football or eviscerated with a chainsaw? In any case, you can always depend on a pack of rats to dismember Kenny whenever he bites the dust. Sure, it's tasteless. But it's pure "South Park." cnV rartman— Eric Cartman— I had to save the best for last. Cartman (as he is called by his peers) is antip.c., sexist, and not fat, but fes­ tively plump" (or so he says). Somehow, he remains the favorite of most of the viewing audience. As an example of his boorishness, he composed a song for the Christ­ mas episode: "Kyle's Mom is a Stu­ pid b ." (Let's just say that the song notes the incredible likeness between Kyle's mother and a female canine.) Chef— Chef works in the school cafeteria and tries to give the kids advice about their problems. The only problem is, whenever he does give advice, it's in the form of a sexual song, a-la Barry White. This usually obscures its meaning. He has sexual fantasies about Kathie Lee Gilford; the voic­ ing for Chef is done by Isaac Hayes. Mr. Garrison and Mr Hat— the afore-mentioned duo is instructs the boys' school classes. Mr. Garrison uses Mr. Hat as his More letters from page 5 allegations surfaced. Linda Tripp, the woman who blew the lid off the ordeal, went to a publisher in New York with her story of Clinton's wrong­ doing, only to find that her unsub­ stantiated claims were insufficient for a book to be written on the matter. She needed proof. So what did she do to gather this proof? She secretly and ille­ gally recorded a conversation with Lewinsky. How anyone can lend credence to information obtained by such illegitimate means is be­ yond me. Tripp, in my opinion, is nothing more than an untrustwor­ thy gold-digger (a la Paula Jones). What other conclusion might one draw? While my argument surely will not stem the flood of Clinton/ Lewinsky press coverage, hope­ fully it will lead some people to question the validity and impor­ tance of the story. One more question. When will that mass of people so utterly obsessed with every sordid detail of the President's life get a life of their own to become obsessed with? Face it, people: the Presi­ dent can fulfill his duties a lot bet­ ter without all the cameras chas­ ing him around. Basically, my point is this: a private life is a private life, and a public life is a public life. But by meddling in one side of Clinton's life, we are hindering the other.

To the Editor: I was walking back to my residence hall on Wednesday night when I was pelted by an unwelcome stream of snowballs being thrown by several delin­ quents hiding in the bushes be­ tween Rankin Hall and Varsity Gym. The ASU Police have been veiy vocal about their policy con­ cerning such activity They claim that throwing snowballs at inno­ cent passersby will result in as­ sault charges. I phoned ASU poice from the call box in the Riv­ ers Street Tunnel. The dispatcher explained that their staff of two officers simply could not respond to such a call. I understand that other accidents might have been more eminent at the moment, but for the University Police to refuse to enforce a university policy is simply unacceptable. Further, why are there only two officers working on a Wednesday evening? What if a riot or some other major emergency occurred? Would ASU Police be prepared to handle it? Maybe the department should allocate less funding to­ wards catching speeders on Riv­ ers Street and ticketing those who choose to park their unregistered cars on campus after 5:30 p.m. Joe Piacentino ASU Box 14825 ep23830@appstate.edu Daniels doesn't know ACC hoops To the Editor: This letter is in response to the misinformed Managing Edi­ tor Mike Daniels and his con­ tinual assertion that we as Appa­ lachian students need to jump on the Mountaineer men's basket­ ball "bandwagon."

In conclusion, I should say that I do admire this year's ASU men's basketball team. They are a very good team with a bright coach and talented players.

Elizabeth Arnold ea22755@appstate.edu Watch out for NAFTA To the Editor: We have been hearing in the media that the United States has had seven uninterrupted years of economic growth. With this knowledge, it is hard to under­ stand why the poverty rate is up 13.7 percent from 1989, why 50 million Americans live below the National Poverty Line and why the poorest fifth of family in comes have declined by $210 (The Nation, Jan. 16/19,1998). NAFTA has cost the U.S. 420,000 jobs in all 50 states, be­ cause the jobs are moving to Mexico, where the average wage of these workers is $4 per day. NAFTA has turned positive U.S. Trade Balances into Trade Defi­ cits: U.S. exports to Mexico are down 36 percent, while imports are up to 82 percent. NAFTA is taking away jobs in the United States and is put­ ting them in Mexico, where the jobs do not benefit local econo­ mies. This policy is hurting the people of Mexico by causing fa­ tal internal conflict within their country. What has NAFTA done for Mexico? NAFTA has led to economic depression that has closed small and medium busi­ nesses and farms, has increased unemployment and has left the rural population in miserable conditions. The majorities of the United States and Mexico are not benefitting from NAFTA. I do not want this power to expand through the fast tracking of NAFTA, or other such free-trade agreements. We should urge our presi­ dent and Congress to draft legis­ lation that would include work­ ers' rights, enforce environmen­ tal protection and address the needs of local communities. I have lobbied with many types of citizens' efforts and voices against fast tracking. Please join us while we continue in these efforts to let our elected officials and media know that we demand more than the corporate line on fast track­ ing free trade agreements—we want to see our opinions and suggestions expressed, also.

Latta said the Klondike owners would help him out when he needed it. He wasn't paid through salary but by the door since he was the bouncer. He never worried about the pay. According to Latta, when the Klondike closed, the managers left Boone but the owners are still here. There have been other rumors that the Klondike is going to reopen. Latta said he knows of five people who have expressed interest in buying the Klondike but no brie has bought it yet. Of those people, Latta said that some of them said there have had to find a new place to play. One of the bands that frequented the Klondike was Agent Ink. One of the members, Robert Gaddy, a senior from Monroe, said Agent Ink would play at the Klondike about twice a semester. He heard from a friend that the Klondike was closed.

Beep. Beep. Beep. You stare in frustration at the phone dangling from your hand, and then angrily press the redial button. Sound familiar? Last semester, this scene was played out countless times as many stu­ dents experienced difficulty making long­ distance phone calls, due to problems with AT&T's ACUS Service, a division of phone service designed especially for college stu­ dents. According to Brad Reid, director of housing, many of the problems with long-distance calling stemmed from over­ crowded, overused phone lines. As thousands of ASU students tried calling friends and family back home, they repeatedly got busy signals and of­ ten couldn't reach the ACUS Service sys­ tem for hours. Many students tried redialing to no avail, and resorted to other methods of calling, most frequently pay phones, calling cards and collect calls. Students reported that the hard­ est time to make a long-distance call was in the evening between the hours of 7:30 and 11:30 p.m. AT&T confirmed this fact. After a rash of complaints, AT&T was contacted. The company decided to install a new T-l line, allowing for an in­ crease in the volume of calls made at any given time. This new phone line success­ fully eliminated the incessant busy signal, and more calls are subsequently com­ pleted. But after solving the initial prob­ lem with the service, another problem cropped up. According to Reid, the second problem experienced with the ACUS Ser- see ACUS on page 8 ink Collar Jobs rock it hard, want their dog H Davis Writer !fy°u haven't heard of Pink Colhj. ,0r t'leif dog, you aren't alone Te having bepn t0 et ier n er an ^8 ben'118 '^een 8 ' l° 8 d toe I t6r t^lan virtually any band in dM f.ar^e sca'e local recognition has e Pink Collar Jobs.

Landon explained the lack of shows, "The Klondike is really the only place for small bands to play in Boone...and they didn't book us for a while. Fortunately, [A.RRS.] has always been really good about giving us shows." Julie believes that punk bands are definitely being overlooked in the book­ ing of local shows. She said, "Lots of people are in­ terested in this type of music, however, there are not many [venues]." Since the interview, the Klondike has closed making the already difficult task of finding some place to play even harder. Viva Mexico, however, has started to take the Klodike's place. Pink Collar Jobs in action (photo by Matt Middleton) After 800 Octane left for Portland, the Pink Collar Jobs were the only punk band in Boone who played consistently, leaving them without a band to play with that would have a similar fan base. For­ tunately, the drought of punk bands in Boone is beginning to end, with bands like the Karloffs (who will play with PCJ Feb. 21 at Viva Mexico) getting more shows. The most important thing the band wanted to get across in this article was a bit of a surprise: "We just want our dog back," Lynn says. Lynn's dog Ricket is a black and gray husky/ shepherd mix who has been missing for some time now. So, if you know where he is or want to know more about the band, contact the Pink Collar Jobs at RO. Box 611-DTS; Boone, NC 28608. The Pink Collar Jobs have a split seven inch with Rustwielier and a split CD with Joey Tampon and the Toxic Shocks out currently. They are also in the process of recording a full length album which should be available in March and will be acompanied by an on-campus show. �Page 8 The Appalachian 5 ACUS from page 7 Ambassadors from page vice was of a more mechanical nature. "Students would call the ACUS Service number, enter the number they were calling and then enter their pin number, only to be met with dead silence. Their calls were never completed," Reid said. Again, AT&T was notified and they met with representatives from ASU towards the end of fall semester. AT&T decided to do a full analysis of every T-l line to make sure that each one was perform­ ing fully and correctly. As a result of this analysis, two faulty T-l lines were discovered and promptly re­ placed. AT&T ran another analy­ sis on the lines, found them all in good working order and assured ASU that the problems with the ACUS service had been eliminated. Reid said he encourages students to report problems with the telephone service to their RAs, because registered complaints make on-campus officials aware of the problems and allows them to quickly notify AT&T. Since the phone lines have been fixed, only two complaints have been filed, and both were due to customer mistakes instead of technical problems with the ACUS Service. Thanks to the expedient work of AT&T and their coopera­ tion with students and staff, ASU now has adequate long-distance service. Isn't it refreshing to hear the phone ringing instead of get­ ting a busy signal? Other students seem to think so. Aaron Hamby, an on-cam­ pus freshman, expressed his feel­ ings about the improved service, "The phone service sucked in the fall. I would get busy signals for an hour or more before my call would either go through, or I'd get frustrated and call collect. But I've only gotten a busy signal once this semester!" Kudos, AT&T, for restoring our phone service, and bye-bye busy signal! to interact with different types of people." Sparks added, "There are also all the benefits you get with being in any club or organization, getting to work with a close group of people. You make a lot of friends. What we see as [a major benefit] is promoting ASU." The Ambassadors have a contact table in the Student Union for anyone interested in joining. Prospective Ambassadors must fill out an application and be inter­ viewed. A 2.0 GPA is required. Applications are due Friday, Feb. 6. Once a person is selected to be­ come an Ambassador, they must go through a five-week training ses­ sion. Some students feel that you also need to be in a Greek or­ ganization and look like a copy of a J.Crew model to be an Appala­ chian Ambassador. However, Sparks says this is not the case. "I can see where that ru­ mor would come from, but I don't think it's necessarily true," Sparks said. "I would say, out of our 38 members, maybe less than 10 are in [a Greek organization]. It's not something we really keep track of," Sparks said. He added, "We're looking for people that can be a leader re­ gardless of past experiences. We're mainly looking for communication skills and professional skills." Sparks said that he wants the group to be diverse. "We're looking at different kinds of backgrounds and majors. I think it's a diverse group of people. I think we give everybody an equal chance," Sparks said. Ambassadors are not paid. Sparks says, "You get a black sweater that's issued to you. That's to wear to represent Appalachian. As far as tangible perks, there aren't really many of those." The Ambassadors are cofunded by the Office of Admissions and the Alumni Association. Rumor has it that the Am­ bassadors will be receiving two Suburbans, plus each member will get a blazer and a North Face jacket, some pretty expensive perks. Sparks said, "They're [the administration] looking into new options. As far as the Suburbans go, nothing's been finalized. We have moved to providing transpor­ v/ko?

BffWriter : :< f W Renee Biggers Staff Writer On Monday, the Appala­ chian women's basketball team picked up their fifth win in a row with a 63-59 victory over Chatta­ nooga. The Lady Mountaineers dominated the first half, holding the Mocs to only three field goals and 15 points in the half. Beth Schoolfield led the way for the Mountaineers, scoring 10 of her 20 points in the first half. As a result, the Mountaineers found themselves up 35-14. With the performance, Schoolfield cashed in on her sixth 20point game of the season. "I feel good about the team at this point in the season," Schoolfield commented, "We have had a few lapses, but we are not let­ ting them bring us down." Starting the second half, the Mountaineers began to fall apart. Chattanooga went on an eight-point run with 13:32 on the clock, short­ ening the lead to 11 points. Finally, Appalachian called timeout. With only nine minutes left on the clock, Coach Barbie Breedlove put Schoolfield, who had been spectating the second half from the side­ line, in the game. After the time-out, the Lady 4 Apps slammed the door shut on the Mocs with an eight-point run. Noel Dolan, who finished with 11 points said, "It took our win against Davidson to pick us up. Now we are believing in ourselves." After the game, Coach Breedlove stated, "We are in a great position in the conference. We are only a game and a half behind and we get to play every team that is ahead of us. We are not intimidated, but excited about the season." With the win, ASU improved to 7-4 in Southern Conference pla> and 8-12 overall.

As a result of the snowfall, Watagua County was declared in a state of emer­ gency by Governor Jim Hunt. A county-wide curfew until 8 a.m. Thursday morning was enforced, not al­ lowing anyone on the roads except emer­ gency vehicles and rescue workers. The National Weather Service blew the forecast," said Associate Professor of Geography and Planning Dr. Pete Soule. The original forecast called for ap­ proximately three to four inches of a rain and snow mixture, changing to rain Tues­ day afternoon, Soule said. Instead of drenching ASU with rain, the storm system tracked further east and Boone remained in a colder section of air inducing the unexpected snowfall, said Soule. "Temperatures were well below freezing Monday night, but the skies were clear, so the storm was not anticipated," Soule said. As a result of the snowfall, the uni­ versity cancelled classes for Wednesday. According to the ASU Adverse Weather Policy, the decision to cancel classes is made by the Chancellor in col­ laboration with the Vice Chancellor staff. The decision was made at 5 a.m. on Wednesday morning, said ASU News Bureau Director Jane Nicholson. "The University Police had been in contact with the administration about the safety of the university," said Nicholson. "The main concern for the cancel­ lation was campus safety," she said. Appalachian did not close because the University Police, health services and food services were still operating, said Nicholson. Classes were not cancelled on Thursday because the administration did not recognize the same safety risks that were apparent on Wednesday, Nicholson said.

(photos by Richard Thomas) New science building Women's Center new ad­ scheduled to open May dition to Student Union Ric Beard Staff Writer A step higher than the infamous maze called Rankin Hall, the new science building on Rivers Street will offer better working conditions for Appalachian State University science departments. The $17 million facility will house the chemistry and physics departments, allowing more space at Rankin Hall for the remaining departments. Many combinations of different de­ partments were analyzed before coming to the decision that the two departments would be best served there. According to Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs Jane Helm, the need for a new building arose from larger enroll­ ments in all of the science departments. "We'd reached the point where Rankin was not adequate to meet the science department's needs," she said. see Building page 3 in Touch Glass: **ss Office: s & Sports: es Food Services Director Ron Dubberly. Welborn Cafeteria served approxi­ mately 2,530 students and Cascades served approximately 1,468 students, Dubberly said. "Food Services was only 60 percent staffed and was feeding the same amount of people," said Dubberly. Health Services cancelled scheduled appointments to remain available for emergencies and walk-ins, said Director of Student Health Services Dr. William Derrick. "Most of the students that came in had the flu, but there were some minor injuries because of the ice and snow," said Derrick. According to adjunct instructor in the Department of Geography and Plan­ ning Baker Perry students can check the weather conditions on the Appalachian homepage. The homepage includes a 24 hour climatological summary, the current weather conditions in Boone as of 8 a.m., the official National Weather Channel forecast and the extended forecast for the Northern Mountains of NC, said Perry.

Providing a face lift to the Nolichucky River Room, this center will serve as a point of contact for women's questions and concerns as well as encompass numerous programs, said Senior Research Associate and member of the center's steering committee Lee Will­ iams. Hard work and a belief that many issues have left women feeling frustrated led the student-faculty planning commit­ tee to form the outreach center. Upcoming programs will tackle is­ sues ranging from balancing family and career to eating right. "Helping women help other women" is also a main initia­ tive of the program Williams said. "No administration will dictate how women should be helped," Williams said. "We have to take responsibility for one another." An advisory board comprised of fac­ ulty, staff and students will be on hand to answer questions, combat concerns and assist in program planning. Comfortable seating and a small library will also pro­ vide adequate accommodations for a study area. According to Williams, the planning committee has established attainable goals for the future of the center. Will­ iams hopes that the center will remain strongly student focused and student man­ aged while continuing to serve the needs of women and assist in their development. "We want to become a visible voice for all women," Williams said. However, the term "women's cen­ ter" should not be misleading, said Will­ iams. Williams and other members of the committee welcome men both as volun­ teers and visitors of the center. "Though it is a women's center, it is open to all students and will serve any student," Williams said. "Women's health is also a man's concern." Although support is increasing and people are neutral to the idea, at worst, Williams does expect some negative feed­ back from those that feel women's needs are indeed being met. Interested students may apply to volunteer through an applicationprocess. The center will open in March for the re­ mainder of the semester. However, it will close its doors dur­ ing the summer months for evaluation and planning. �r layIf ffo: fSa Pi <en' COV 1 pan It fen Bi iin The Student Media Board' Seeks Qualified Applicants for the Positions of: -m-Chiei • i • r Its m W| Business The Appalachian Is f A » v " 1 ,J*k 9 M i II X MW mm*- "'•AI Station Manager WASU FM 12? for the 1998 - 1999 Academic Year The Deadline for applications is 5:00 pni Friday, February 20,1998.

After lovely winter weather blanketed Apchian State University last week, students— even some faculty and staff— may agree that jflie for ASU officials to take a fresh look at famous inclement weather policy. This doc, ultimately requires students, faculty and : t0 risk safety and sanity travelling Watauga nty roads. Last Wednesday, a county curfew and a aration of a state of emergency from Goverdunt gave us the day off—deservedly so. The walks, much less the roads, were impassable, the snow continued to fall. While on-camstudents were fortunate to have electricity ughout the storm, thousands of Boone resis (including ASU students, faculty and staff) power and heat. Everyone thought that tsday would bring a second day without class. Unfortunately, we watched the news at 6 to no avail. A cancellation from Appalachian e University did not flash across the screen, i though everything else in Watauga County >ared to be closed. Although the county curwas lifted and most main roads were open, litions were still not good enough to wara resumption of classes. The university called for a normal schedBut students still experienced some of the is of cancellation, despite the fact that classes e in session. Certain food service outlets, the iRoom in particular, remained closed through remainder of last week. Other university dings did not open on time, or closed earlier ] normal Thursday night. It is probable that these buildings were unitaffed due to the weather. Perhaps the safety mployees was a top priority. If such was the i, why did we go to class? Not all students staff live within walking distance of campus, ay live in Boone's hidden alcoves, or on top jeep hills. These areas, in addition to many merit complex parking lots, were not plowed While those living in residence halls slid :oss the ice to class, many off-campus students ete forced to take a second day off and probfyreceived unexcused absence penalties. In iition, students may have gotten up for that !y morning class only to find that a professor 'canceled class of his or her own accord, due ower loss or inability to travel the roads. This Jted in countless phone calls to university de­ ments, as hopeful students asked whether Dr. Ih would be in class today. Crews made a sizeable dent in the snowy s Wednesday, but plenty of ice and snow still e conditions hazardous as we walked to >es Thursday. There were still plenty of cars ed under two feet of snow. Countless people t to class without taking showers because had no electricity or running water. Boone was still in its own "state of emer- f" The inclement weather policy does not • acomplete overhaul, but rather a new perOve. The university could ask members of student body to join faculty and staff on a 9°n committee to voice opinions and com"lts 0n the hassles of winter weather. This "uttee could develop amore logical approach ass cancellation; the needs of off-campus stu15 and university employees could receive 'attention. Snow may fall, but student and faculty should be heard over the snow trucks. Srns The Appalachian is published every Tuesday ursday of the academic year with the excep01 selected holidays and breaks.

Over Christmas break, Ruth Byrd, White Hall's housekeeper, was killed in a car accident. This column serves as a memorial to "Miss Ruth," as she was called by the residents of White Hall. Ms. Ruth's death was probably the very last thing I was expecting to hear about the night I re­ turned to Boone. Amanda approached me with the words I've come to dread: "I need to tell you some­ thing." There was nothing to prepare me, no reason to think Imight never see her again whenI left. Ms. Ruth was stronger and healthier than I could ever hope to be, and although she was older and much wiser than I, she really wasn't that old. For the past three years, when I've left for the holidays, I have carelessly yelled to Ms. Ruth, "I'll see you next year!" Her response has always been, "I'll be here." Why wouldIhave thought those would be the last wordsI ever said to her? Death can often be unfair in that way—taking those we love the most without the slightest hint.Isuppose that's why we're told to live each moment as if it were our last. But how many of us really do that? Iknow that I don't. I take for granted that I'm going to be here tomorrow, next week, next month. I took for granted that Ms. Ruth would be wait­ ing when I returned, as she said she would.I al­ ways knew she would be here when I graduated and I could tell her then how much she meant to me and what an influ­ ence she had been on my life. That day will never come now. Oh, I'll still graduate. But the person who had one of the biggest impacts on my life will not be there. I'll never have the opportunity to share with her all the thingsIwishIhad said long ago. Ibelieve and know that a part of Ms. Ruth will forever be a part of White Hall and of my life. She meant differ­ ent things to different people. I want to share with you what she meant to me-what I wish I had said to her when she was still here. Ms. Ruth started out as my favorite person at Appalachian, because the first dayImet her she was cleaning our bathroom. I hated to do that at home and I told Ms. Ruth then that I would love her for­ ever simply for cleaning our bathroom. A friendship began that day. When other people were busy eating lunch with their friends my fresh­ man year, I was sitting with Ms. Ruth and Ms. Ruby. They were a lot of fun just to watch as they interacted. I have never seen two people pick at each other as much as they did, and love one an­ other more than words could ever describe. Their friendship helped me to not lose faith in friends all together as Iexperienced the pain of growing apart from one of my closest friends from high school. But even as I was losing one friend, I was gaining an­ other.

When my brother heard I wanted to see the film, in true brotherly fashion he said, "Let me spoil the ending for you—the ship sinks." James Cameron, the writer and director of 'Titanic," even said, "It's a chick flick...and everyone dies," in an in­ terview with Oprah Winfrey. But the success of "Titanic" obviously didn't depend on a "happily ever after" ending. The fiveyear project has substance and sincerity, and that is what makes "Titanic" a monolithic achievement. "Titanic" transcends the typical gender biases found in sentimental issues. Women are "supposed" to cry, men are "supposed" to be strong. Iheard from several people that "Titanic" was a movie to "make grown men cry." But this promise of salty excretions didn't seem to deter the attendance of men in my hometown's cinema. Ibelieve that the gender-transcending appeal of this heart-wrenching film is a testament to Cameron's movie mastery. A movie loaded with special-effects wizardry and well-developed characters can, with the slight­ est nudge, become a commercial bonanza. Occasion­ ally, that commercialization can trivialize the subject matter (think Charlie Brown's Christmas special). But, mercifully, the trivialization of "Titanic" was not to be. On Oprah's show, Cameron said his focus changed during his 12 underwater dives to the "Ti­ tanic" wreckage. No longer did he view his project as a commercial endeavor. Instead, it became a tribute to the 1500 people who died on that fateful voyage upon the ship once deemed "unsinkable." Cameron's sincere com­ mitment to his project led him to forsake his salary to fund the $200 million endeavor. This gesture alone, in an in­ dustry dominated by mega-bucks, is inspira­ tional. "Titanic" be­ came Cameron's dream. And, as an au­ dience member on Oprah said, his perse­ verance inspires others to pursue their dreams. In the words of Leonardo DiCaprio's character, Jack Dawson, you have to "make it count," with no exceptions. The brevity of life should in­ duce each of us to do more, not less. Value each moment and don't let a day pass where you feel you wasted your time. The film's storyline is a prime, example of how things don't always turn out as planned. I hope Cameron realizes what his film has accomplished. Not only were audiences held in sus­ pense over the fate of Jack and Rose, but they were forced to see a side of human nature most of us would rather not acknowledge.

I have come to the direct conclusion that men behaving badly can partially be blamed on us! To fully under­ stand the root of this situation, let me begin this story with a brief his­ tory of male behavior. In the begining, men liked women very much. So much in­ deed, they hit us over the head with wooden clubs and dragged us by the hair, back to their caves to enjoy polite conversation. Eventually, the world be­ came more populated and compe­ tition increased. This gave women choices between men, and she, of course, would chose the least bru­ tal of the brutes. Men slowly became aware of this and discovered that the trick to getting the best woman was to treat her better than any other man could treat her. So evolved the idea that a woman was to be regarded as a prize to be won after lots of court­ ing and sweet persuasion. Men would spend years try­ ing to win the favors of attractive women. Not only did this benefit women by allowing them to choose worthy mates, but it also gave women more free time to educate themselves and socialize with other females. (They could compare notes about men!) A woman was cherished as the root of a man's happiness, and no gesture was too great if it won the heart of a wonderful woman. This position clearly remains the best ever held by women, as far as the way men regarded them. Suddenly, the womens' lib­ eration movement came along. Women gained equal rights. Men, resenting this movement, began to retaliate and lost a lot of respect for women. Some men hated the women who proved that they were just as intelligent as men; others just didn't know how to treat a woman anymore. They were afraid to eventually led them to this mentality: "I just won't do anything for a woman, and that way, I won't do any­ thing wrong!" Behaviors formerly thought of as "polite" were no longer performed. This brings us to presentday treatment of women. We are no longer the proverbial prize; we are thought of as easy to get and gives our society a basis on which to formmany of our inferences and perceptions. Some people with the power to influence abuse it, while others make a difference by awakening society to issues otherwise ig­ nored. In "Titanic," Cameron shows he is one of the "good guys" and utilizes his power in a sincere and positive manner. Those of us who have seen "Titanic" couldn't forget it if we wanted to—and I believe that's a good thing. When I first heard of "Ti­ tanic,"Ihave to admitIdidn't find it very appealing. I had no desire to see 1500 people drowningin the ocean, even if it really was just a saltwater tank in Baja. The more I heard about the special effects, budget problems, and the charac­ ters, the more intriguedIbecame. And luckily for me, my opinion changed. "Titanic" is a sad movie. The tears were flowing freely in the theater where I watched the blockbuster hit, and many of them were mine. But "Titanic" is more than a "disaster film." The story awak­ ened something in the hearts of moviegoers. And that something will indelibly influence our percep­ tions, hopefully for years to come. Cameron has given a voice to the victims of the "Ti­ tanic," a voice loud enough to be heard through miles of water and around the globe. And we are all the better for having heard their story. open a door for a woman or offer a hankerchief to her, in fear they might be met with comments like, "I can open the door for myself," or "I carry my own kerchief, thank you!" Somewhere in this move­ ment, women unfortunately de­ cided to make man the en­ emy. Men no longer knew what was ac­ ceptable be­ havior. T h i s easy to get rid of. Men have four or five women on their minds at one time! Courting has become a simple statement: "Hey, do you want me to go get you another beer?" It all boils down to the male loss of re­ spect for the female. No longer do men open doors for us; no longer do men regard the favor of a woman as a generous honor. Enough is enough! "Courting has become a simple state­ ment: 'Hey, do you want me to get you another beer?'" C o l l e g e women need to wise up. Until we all say that this has gone too far, men will keep behaving this way. On the other hand, if we make clear the fact that we regard their behavior as completely un­ acceptable, then they will have no choice but to change their ways. Iwant to make clear the fact thatIam not against women's lib I just think that men should show proper respect to females. Iknow several men who do not treat women badly, but the ma­ jority of men have a few problems in this area. . When men realize that their current treatment of women is not acceptable, they will change, or they will live very lonely lives. My advice to women: set standards for yourself, and set them high! Try your best to stick to the standards you set. One example:If a guy wants to go out with you, make him put forth some effort. Make him go to the trouble of planning the date and calling you to ask what time is convenient. Of course, there will always be exceptions,but think about this. If a guy doesn't consider you special enough that he would go to a little trouble to see you, then why do you want to go out with him in the first place? You prob­ ably don't—and that's what you should think about. Substance from page 5 ment by audiences heightens awareness of just how horrible human beings can be. The societal prejudices revealed in the film were appall­ ing. Icried for the lower-class pas­ sengers locked into the lower lev­ els of the boat, left without a chance for survival. The scenes that most touched my heart involved the mother putting her two young chil­ dren to bed, pretending everything would be allright, and the elderly couple lying on their bed in a tear­ ful embrace. Ididn't want to em­ pathize with these characters—it hurt too much. But Cameron didn't give me a choice. The power of film is im­ mense.

Wells said that the summer study abroad trips are great preparation for a full immersion experience, like a semes­ ter or year-long study abroad. Katie Wargin, who studied in Costa Rica from February to July of 1997, said studying abroad is, "The best thing you can do." Wargin's life changed during the semester-long trip, mainly in her appre­ ciation of the convenience of American life. Wargin even learned to appreciate hot water. Wargin exemplifies the flexibility and maturity Wells discusses. She learned to look at things from a different stand­ point; tms is a crucial element in learning which many students miss by only sitting in the classroom and doing homework. Wargin's most exciting expe­ rience in Costa Rica was climbing an active volcano with two other ASU stu­ dents whom she studied abroad with. She says they are all close friends since the trip and she also made friends overseas. Appalachian offers 20 locations for summer study abroad. They range from European adventures to Central America and Israel. The International Programs office in I.G. Greer has details on these trips that are organized by professors who serve as trip leaders. Students need to talk with the professors leading the trip they wish to go on.

Wells added that students may to work on their majors, minors, irriculum or fluency in a language \ summer, semester or year-long abroad trips. However, knowledge The summer programs average four weeks overseas, but some are shorter. But you had better hurry. Many deadlines for summer programs have already passed and now is the time to begin seriously thinking about fall semester trips overseas. Summer programs are filling up quickly and many meet before summer­ time to help prepare students for the ex­ perience. The four week summer programs weigh heavily into ASU requirements. Generally, students receive six credit hours for the trip. Financial aid and scholarships that students already have through ASU apply to trips as well. Costs to study abroad are often near the same price as tuition and fees here at ASU. Wells em­ phasizes that study abroad through ASU is virtually the cheapest way to travel. Wells said, "The summer trips are often good for students who want to travel.... but are not quite as experienced. ... they go with this group and it's a nice initiation into international travel because you're not on your own." Wells said that around 3.85percent of ASU students have international experience, which is above average. Many more students could take advantage of this program, however. ASU is a member of the Interna­ tional Student Exchange Program (I.S.E.P) which gives students over 100 different locations to choose from for se­ mester and year-long study abroad trips. ASU students going through sum­ mer programs would be much more pre­ pared for a long immersion into another culture in one of the 35 countries that the International Programs has to offer. Part of many programs is, of course, learning a second language. Wells said that with her experience dealing with people around the world, Americans are irresponsible for not learning a second language. But, she said that will change as the world becomes more of a world economy and as Americans travel more. Wells said," The older you get the harder it gets. . . . There is no better way to [learn] a language then to have to use it where you're being immersed in that language." Travel abroad provides many things for ASU students. Not only can we experience another culture while getting credit hours and learning another lan­ guage, but we can re-evaluate our own culture and learn a lot about ourselves. ppalachian gets a night at the opera ilvey riter Walking into Farthing Auditowatch the Italian National Opera ' this past Monday was an experiitself.

The second performance, "I Pagliacci," by Ruggero Leoncavallo, was per­ formed equally well, if not better than, the first opera sc.en that night. This comic tragedy takes place around 1865 in Montalto. It is an­ other love story where people die, but this one is more fast paced and interesting than the previous opera. The singing was full of emotions, the music was sensa­ tional and the story line was told through the actions, not just the program. Once again, the orchestra ' did a great job in add­ ing to the overall feel of the drama. Overall, the Italian National Op­ era did a great job. As long as you avoid those people who care about what you wear and take a few lessons in the lovely language of Italian , you can really enjoy the performance. A little tip on opera etiquette; try to refrain from clapping in the middle of a performance or after a performer has given a solo. Clap at the end of the act to avoid getting death stares. �The Appalachian 3 peb] A pictoral look at the good and had of last week's snow storm.

Last year, ASU lost to the Lady mounts 72-70, their only loss to Westta , Carolina in the last 14 years. This time the Mountaineers used their top-ranked field goal defense to limit the Lady Catamounts shooting to just 31 percent for the game. Appalachian also dominated the boards as they out rebounded Western 5034. "The rebounding is huge," Breedlove said. If we're going to win (rebounding) is critical." The Mountaineers also continued their recent balanced scoring attack as five players hit double figures. "It's nice to have that (type of) scoring attack," noted Breedlove. Leading the ASU attack on of­ fense were junior Beth Schoolfield and sophomore Noel Dolan with 14 points apiece. Greensboro native Schoolfield also grabbed nine rebounds in the win. Sophomore forward Tiffany game Chappell recorded 11 points while snag­ ging seven boards. Julie Gagliano added 10 points and eight rebounds. Fellow freshman forwardNatasha Lettsome came off the bench for Appalachian to record her second career double-double with 10 points and 10 boards. The Mountaineers quickly jumped on top of the Lady Catamounts by scoring the first seven points and hold­ ing Western Carolina without a field goal for the first 4:22 of the contest. Later in the first half, the ASU defense was able to hold Western score­ less for another 5:02 as Appalachian scored nine straight and built a 13 point advantage at 20-7. Dolan's third threepointer of the half gave the Mountaineers a 30-13 lead with 2:52 left. Then mvuuvij the Lady Catamounts mounted an 8-2 run to close the margin at the half to 11 at 32-21. Schoolfield was on fire as she started the second half, scoring 10 of ASU's first 15 points of the half during the Moun­ taineers 15-6 run. During the same stretch, Appalachian held Western Caro­ lina to only two field goals, giving ASU a commanding 47-27 with 10 minutes left in the game. After a three by Western's April Fleck, Chappell scored five points in a row to give the Mountaineers their largest lead of the game at 52-30 with 8:26 remain­ ing. The Lady Catamounts couldn't get any closer than 16 during the final five minutes and Appalachian took their fourth uuuigiu, improving to 7-12 and 6-4 in LU: / -14. aiiu ui constraight, uuyiuvuig VSU drops first SC game to Davidson Ike Daniels inaging Editor The dream is over.

"Having big balls really helped our team today," McKillop said. When the subject was cleared up more for McKillop, he still wanted to talk about his players' genitalia, "All our players brought their balls." McKillop's motives still aren't clear.

McKillop, in all likelihood, could probably care less about a shoe con­ tract since Davidson probably has the most money of any Southern Confer­ ence school. McKillop knew going into the game that his team was lacking when compared to Appalachian and that they needed an advantage. Any advantage would do. Why not change the basket­ balls?

Paul Mance and the Appala­ chian State wresding team know that phrase all to well. The Mountaineers return home Saturday at 6 p.m. to host the Citadel after completing a nine-event road swing. The App grapplers have not seen action on their home mat since Nov. 22, when the squadhosted the Mountaineer Open. The road has not exactly been kind to Mance and his team. Appalachian limps into Varsity Gym­ nasium with a 2-6 overall record, and a 1-1 Southern Conference mark. The Mountaineers have fallen in six of their last sevenmatches heading into their home debut. However, don't write the Apps' off just yet. Since the 1990-91 season, Appalachian wrestling teams have compiled a 23-3-2 record inside the friendly confines of Varsity Gymna­ sium. The squad posted a perfect 60 mark in the building a season ago and currendy holds a seven-match winning streak in the facility. The Mountaineers' last home loss came Feb. 16,1996, when the squad fell to VMI 26-17. To continue their success on the home mat, Appalachian must leave the trials of their road trip be­ hind. The Apps concluded the swing with a 20-18 loss at UNCGreensboro Friday night. The Spar­ tan victory avenged last year's 19-18 loss to Appalachian in Boone by claiming victory in four of the final six bouts of the match. UNCG jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, as Corey Williams gave Mountaineer senior Tony Hairston his first dual match loss of the season by virtue of a 3-0 over­ time decision. The loss drops Hairston to 5-1 in dual match com­ petition, which is still tops in the Southern Conference at 118 lbs.. Appalachian battled back to take the next three bouts, as sopho­ more Lamar Hanna (126), senior Erik Smith (134) and junior Rob Daly (142) each posted wins in their re­ spective weight classes. With the Mountaineers up 92 following Daly's win at 142, the Spartans began to claw back. Trey Burlingame and Billy Osborne posted wins at 150 and 158 respectively, pull­ ing UNCG in front, at 11-9. At 167 lbs., Derek Strobel continued his hot wresding since bat­ tling back from a preseason injury. Strobel won his third match in four tries, edging Jamie Hensch 7-6 and giving ASU a 12-11 advantage with three bouts remaining. The Spartans' Dax Pecaro put the nail in the coffin in the 177 lb. match. The UNCG grappler pinned Appalachian's Danny Beiting at the 2:42 mark, giving the Spar­ tans an all-important six team-points. Greg Forbes then defeated Carl Barton, 6-2, at 190 to seal the vic­ tory. ASU's Matt Kim received a for­ feit victory in the heavyweight slot, but it proved to be too litde too late for the Mountaineers, as UNCG es­ caped with the narrow 20-18 win. See Wrestling on page 10 I ! ! �Page 10 Wrestling from page 9 Lady Apps from page 9 UNCG and Appalachian both now stand 1-1 in the Southern Confer­ ence, a league that possesses no real front runner heading into Feb­ ruary. Only Davidson possesses a .500 or better overall record among member schools, with all five victories coming against nonDivisionI opponents. The Citadel brings a squad to Boone that has also had its trouble in the early going. The Bulldogs headed into play last week with a 3-5 overall mark, hav­ ing dropped two matches in a row. Prior to their match Saturday in Boone, the Cadets will take on UNC Greensboro, Friday night, in the Gate City. Appalachian will wrestle three of their final five matches in Varsity Gymnasium. The squad closes out the regular season with home dates against The Citadel, Virginia Military, and Virginia Tech.

The Mountaineers re­ corded about their season average in turnovers, 23. "That's still too many turnovers. 15 is our goal, the post players are turning it over too much," said Breedlove.

Borkowski, and Vice Chancellor for Student Development, Gregory S. Blimling, will continue a suit that has progressed since last spring. The appeal was received Jan. 16 by the North Carolina Assistant Attorney General, said University Attorney Dayton Cole. Plaintiffs Kendrick Byrd, Gordon Fenderson and Rodney Thomas, all mem­ bers of the ASU 1996-1997 football team, filed the appeal after they lost in Watauga County court.

In addition to the fair, several rel­ evant seminars will be held in the Roan Mountain Room, Meister said. At 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., attorney Wade Brown will discuss student and ten­ ant rights. At noon, six off-campus students will share experiences about off-campus living. The students will discuss realities of off-campus living, including costs and bills, choosing a roommate and roommate agreements, Meister said. Meister thinks the fair is espe­ cially important this year, as residence hall overcrowding has been an issue this year. see Apartments on page 3 f Recital Series School of Music will _ * the Keyboard Recital Series ^7 at 8 p.m. in Rosen Concert ^ 5; m'ssion will be $5 for adults students and senior citi_ 0r 01016 information call 265^teU£5. 0r ^ et in Touch M Class: *Mess Office. q t* ^ ^ Sports: Mres & 262-6149 262-2157 262-6233 Editorials: 262-3104 lated a university directive, said Cole. The plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against another student, alleging defamation, Cole said. According to Cole, the students at­ tached confidential information to the complaint, violating a university directive regarding the transcript. The university took action against the students. The students were on probation for a previous offense, and their punishment was increased accordingly, said Cole. The plaintiffs were involved in a punishable act concerning three other male students and one female freshman.

New franchises should prosper in '98 Sherrie Huffman Staff Writer Last semester, outside vendors Chick-Fil-A and Stone Willy's Pizza were opened on Appalachian State University's campus after approximately four years of deliberation on behalf of Food Services. Most students and faculty are en­ joying the variety of food that both loca­ tions offer, and the sales from the resturaunts are well beyond the expecta­ tions of Food Services Director Ron Dubberly. According to Dubberly, the decision to add Chick-Fil-A and Stone Willy's Pizza was a good one because both vendors have helped Food Services' sales. Dubberly said that the exact profit from Chick-Fil-A and Stone Willy's has not yet been calculated for the first six-month period, but the sales figures look optimis­ tic thus far. This spring semester will deter­ mine exactly how beneficial the vendors are to Food Services' sales and profits. Dubberly also said that while Chick-Fil-A and Stone Willy's have helped overall sales, they have taken business from other Food Service locations, such as the Gold Room, the Pizzeria and Park Place Cafe. "If we had not put in Stone Willy's at the same time [as Chick-Fil-A], Food Court sales would have dropped drasti­ cally," Dubberly said, "but overall, the sales for most of the dining services are up sig­ nificantly, and the bulk of the sales are from Chick-Fil-A." Dubberly said that as of Novem­ ber 1997, cafeteria sales were approxi­ mately $983,640, without calculating Chick-Fil-A sales into the figure. ChickFil-A sales alone were approximately $380,382. "We are extremely pleased with the sales of Chick-Fil-A and Stone Willy's," Dubberly said. Student reactions to Chick-Fil-A and Stone Willy's Pizza are somewhat mixed. Sophomore Andrew B. Mills from Catawba said,"I'm not particularly fond of Stone Willy's, but I think Chick-Fil-A is nectar of the gods.'I would like Chick-FilA to charge a little less for their food, but I can't complain, because I keep going back." Molly A. Grayson, a junior from Burlington, feels a little differently about the resturaunts. "I think it's a good idea for those who like Chick-Fil-A, but no ven­ dors were added to accomodate vegetar­ ians. Chick-Fil-A doesn't even have sal­ ads without chicken. Stone Willy's has vegetable pizzas, but some vegans don't A Chick-Fil-A employee cooks today's lunch behind the scenes (photo by Andrew Hershner) eat cheese. It would be almost impossible to be a vegan on this campus." Despite the mixed reactions to the vendors, Dubberly said that Food Services expect Chick-Fil-A and Stone Willy's Pizza sales to remain steady. �The Appalachian 2?

Caton is not new to The Charlotte Observer; he wrote for the publication in 1996. Although he was unable to enter the 1997 columnist competition, Caton was asked by an Observer editor to write an occasional editorial. "I looked at several papers but liked the editorial mix of the Observer, so I settled on that one," Caton said. When the 1998 editorial competition rolled around, the editor offered Caton the position KqcoH on nrorn'mic columns and based nn previous rnlnmnc ot original submissions in the 1996 competition. Caton's first column ap­ peared in The Observer's Jan. 6 issue and was entitled, "How well did yesterday's futurists predict today?" His columns appear on The Observer's Viewpoint page on the first Tuesday of each month. Caton hopes to discuss issues not covered locally, but will apply a local spin to each topic. Caton serves as the director of the Dark Sky Observatory, a fa­ cility used by ASU faculty and stu­ dents as a research tool. He hopes that the observatory will be open to the public in future months. Vienna Choir Boys bring unique sound next week Since 1932, the Vienna Choir Boys have entertained American audiences. The group brings their unique sound to Farthing Auditorium next Thursday, Feb. 5, at 8 p.m. The 24-member group comes to ASU as part of the university's Performing Arts Series, spon­ sored by the Office of Cultural Affairs. Dubbed the most popu­ lar choir to tour the United States, the group represents the traditions of Viennese music. A different group of young men forms the choir each year, to continue the tra­ ditions of youth and mature artistic talent. This year marks the choir's 500th anniversary. Many famous composers, including Mozart and Schubert, have ties to the Vienna Choir Boys. Tickets are $6 for Appala­ chian students and children under 12; $12 for senior citizens and ASU faculty/staff; and $15 for all others.

Bulldozers are parked haphazarCHy across campus. The new science building now has a face, but the convocation center is still a maze of mud and steel. What is the level of progress, if there is such a level? Many would say that it is the job of The Appalachian to publish these facts. However, our staff sees problems every time a construction story is assigned. Our phone calls are not returned; when we are fortunate enough to conduct inter­ views, we get the same stagnant reports on -steady progress" and "expected completion." Apparently, there is not a lot to say on the big­ gest, most current news of Appalachian State University. If university officials are not willing to dis­ close information to the reporters of The Appa­ lachian, they might consider a newsletter com­ parable to that suggested for the traffic patrol. Construction updates are important not only to s-rudents, but also to faculty and staff, who face the same problems. We would like to see some concrete infor­ mation. We would like to see real information a bout progress and about pitfalls. We would like to see financial figures; we want to know if these new structures are following their budgets, or if costs are skyrocketing due to this or that. Appalachian State University conducts it­ self not only as an institution of higher learning, but also as a business. Most corporations publish annual reports to give stockholders an idea of their financial successes and/or downfalls. Don't we, as students, deserve similar treatment? Don't we deserve the opportunity to evaluate our university's performance, and subsequently de­ cide if we would like to transfer or complain?

Some of the re­ sponses I saw were quite alarming. Strangely enough, at the same time, they made sense. Students are pissed, and I, for one, don't want to be around when the excrement hits the fan. The subjects of Boone parking and traffic are topics similar to a horse in a coffin: they've been beaten to death. The only reason I bring them up, yet again, is that through the course of my assign­ ment, I saw an unprecedented amount of anger and hatred directed at both the administration and traf­ fic patrollers. I also bring up these overwritten subjects be­ cause, apparently with the start of the spring semes­ ter, Traffic Control has issued tickets with vigor. One day, as I walked by East Hall, I saw a car with three, count 'em, three tickets on the windshield. When I walked down Locust Street Saturday, every car in a No Parking zone had a ticket. Normally, I wouldn't have a problem with this occurrence, but it has been my experience that tickets are not issued on the week­ ends. I'm sure these car owners felt a rude awaken­ ing in their wallets when they found happy little yel­ low slips on their windshields. The point of all of this babbling is coming up, so pay attention, Chancellor Borkowski, Traffic Con­ trol, whomever. If there has been a change (and ob­ viously there has been) in traffic policies, there needs to be advance notification. By advance notification, I don't mean Traffic Office employees ran­ domly telling anyone who happens into the traffic trailer that there is a new policy. I'm talking about signs, displays and advertise­ ments on TV I'm even talking about hiring a bi-plane to write the new policy in the sky. The Appalachian ran a staff editorial in last Tuesday's issue, explaining how the only advance no­ tice given for the new ticketing increase was a "grace period." The problem is, this "grace period" occurred the week before classes started, when the school was a ghost town. I'm sure the people who got nailed by tickets this past weekend were quite aware of the change. Whatever. Students already get the shaft when it comes to parking. Why increase the shafting? We pay $50 a year to park at State Farm Lot, conveniently lo­ cated way the hell off campus. "But, no," the univer­ sity says, "we provide transportation to get there." Correct, the Appalcart does have a shuttle that oper- ates on Fridays and Sundays. If you need to get to your car during the week (imagine that!), you can take the Red Route and spend an hour getting to your car, and an hour coming back from your car This round-trip is, of course, due to the inevitability of being ticketed instantaneously if you park on cam­ pus for five seconds during the week. T h e Appalcart schedules list a s e p a r a t e shuttle to State Farm for Sta­ dium (West Side) and Hoey/Legends (East Side). I can't count the number of times I thought we were going straight from Legends to State Farm, only to find we had turned onto Rivers Street and were headed for the Stadium. If this is more than a one-time occurrence (and it undoubtedly is), let people know so they can plan their time accordingly. Even with the increasing ASU student popula­ tion, we continue to allow freshmen to bring cars into Boone. One solution proposed from many of the people I talked to on Tuesday was that freshmen must come earless to Boone. I'm sure the freshmen will hate me for saying this, but I think it would be a partial solution. Look at UNC-Chapel Hill and N.C. "Students already get the shaft when it comes to parking. Why increase the shafting?" see Parking on page 6 New housing policy may leave you out Beth Bliss News Editor It's crunch time. Will you be one of the un­ lucky 200? If you are unaware of the Department of Housing's newest policy on reclaiming your resi­ dence hall room, you may not understand that question. If such is the case, let me explain. To prevent overcrowding in the residence halls, Appalachian State University's Department of Housing has placed a limit on the number of students who may reclaim on-campus spots. The department hopes to prevent a situation similar to 1997, when they assigned housing to 5,019 stu­ dents—with only 4,884 available spaces. Granted, there were a few no-shows, so not everyone was left in the cold; but many students, freshmen to be exact, spent the first few weeks of classes living in makeshift rooms in dormitory lounges. Now, it's up to fate. If a student wants to reclaim his or her current room, he or she prob­ ably doesn't have a problem. But if said student hopes to move into a different residence hall, he or she has to be willing to gamble. New assignments will be made according to the last digit of a student's social security number. If a number appears toward the beginning of the selection process, no problem. Those with numbers at the end of the list may have something to worry about. These students can't dilly-dally around, hemming and hawing about whether or not to live on campus. Once the Depart­ ment of Housing has deposits from 2,680 students, all bids will be closed. I understand the Department of Housing's po­ sition—somewhat. They have found what is prob­ ably the truly fair solution, given the circumstances. But I cannot understand why they do not look to modify their current policy of requiring freshmen to live on campus, before they take rooms away from students who have established themselves here for a year or more. Is it fair to place an ultimatum on Appalachian State students? Most of us will be okay—we'll pay our $250 deposits and find a place to live on cam­ pus. But what about those who lose their rights to a room on campus? What happens to those students? I assume they would be forced to find off-campus alternatives, but I don't see the fairness in that. Rooms should be assigned based on seniority, not sheer luck. Next year, I will be an upperclassman. I should have more rights than an incoming freshman; I have served a two-year tour of duty. Many students agree with me, and the buzz around this campus follows a general consensus: in­ stead of putting millions into a new convocation cen­ ter, perhaps a new residence hall could have stood across from the John E. Thomas building. I think I would rather have a place to live instead of a convo­ cation center, which I think will be used more for athletic events than for anything else. The convoca­ tion center will be used to house outsiders—alumni and spectators—and not the people who come to Appalachian for an education. The university is certainly out of touch with its customers—and I refer to the student body as cus­ tomers because that is what we are. I am paying to be here, and so are you. Our opinions should be taken seriously. Who can we turn to? The Student Govern­ ment Association has ignored the .most pressing is­ sues on campus; I have yet to hear of legislation call­ ing for improved parking or more residence hall beds. The Appalachian tries to communicate with university offcials so we can publish the information that students want to know, but we consistently re­ ceive the brush-off. We try to ask tough questions, but we rarely get answers. I don't appropriate state funds. I haven't the power to build a new residence hall. But I can say that the new housing policy has made me dislike this university. It has made me consider taking my busi­ ness elsewhere—to an apartment complex—simply because I am unsatisfied with the level of service that I currently receive. Who knew that college would be­ come such a huge hassle? I hope to have a room after the reclaiming process is complete. If I am left homeless, maybe I can pitch a tent on the grounds of the convocation center site. Campus Perspectives Question: What do you think about the latest President Clinton sex scandal?

Try look­ ing at a list of clubs and organiza­ tions on campus availible in cam­ pus planners and from the infor­ mation desk in Plemmons Student Union. Find groups with similar interests, and get going! Step two: Avoid entering into relationships with people you meet at a club, bar or party. If you are really interested in that person, go out as friends for a week or two before the romance begins. This will give you a chance to get to know the person behind the pretty face or body. Meet some of his/ her friends and observe how he/ she treats those friends, because chances are, that's how you will eventually be treated. Step three :Call your mama! Even if you are asserting your newfound independence, you still need the support of your fam­ ily. Long distance bills add up, but I have never heard a mother or father yell at a kid for calling too frequently. Another great way to keep in touch is with mail. Every­ one loves mail, and when you get a special package from a cousin or aunt or old friend, it usually pro­ duces an instant smile. Don't be shy; ask them to mail you pack­ ages in return. Step four find adults in your life you can trust to help you if you get into a jam. Even the most independent people need support from elders. This may come in the form of a trusted pro­ fessor or a family friend who lives nearby, but wherever it comes from, you need it! I found another way to make adult friends, also. My church has families who spon­ sor college students and will cook dinner for them. Over the year, they might ask you to babysit or help them rake leaves, and in re­ turn, the family will give you help when you need it. Find out if your church has such a program, or if they might want to start one. We all need to feel loved, no matter where we are and what we are doing. College can be a chal­ lenge, and no one can go at it all alone. We shouldn't be embarassed to say, "I need a friend," and we shouldn't hesitate to be a friend. Next time you pass people on the way to class, take time to look into their eyes, and you might just find that they need a friend too.

Her philosophy is called "objectiv­ ism," which she defines as "the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of life, with produc­ tive achievement as his noblest ac­ tivity, and reason as his only absolute (Rand Institute)."

But, un­ fortunately, only a little seems to be resolved. The climax to this film was said to be the bleakest since Seven. But for my money, Seven is far superior in both its outcome and ex­ ecution. Director Gregory Hoblit (Primal Fear) suc­ ceeds in creating an eerie atmosphere in parts, via strange camera effects and such, but is unable to sustain it the way David Fincher did in Seven. For this kind of movie, atmosphere is ev­ erything. Again, the premise of the film is an interesting one—and •WW ' - - for that, writer Nicholas Kazan should be given credit. He also gives us an interesting character in Hobbes, which Washington pulls off rather well. But aside from that, the plot doesn't seem to make much sense at times, and some parts, the climax in particular, don't seem to be well thought out. But, hav­ ing said that, the film is never boring and will keep you think­ ing. It almost seems like this film isn't sup­ posed to make com­ plete sense, perhaps to add to the freakiness. It had the potential to be called a great supernatural thriller. However, in the end, it can only be called better than average. .

'Titanic' soundtrack follows the movie's succ^ Jason Foster Staff Writer When a film creates a phe­ nomenon like "Titanic" has, the possibilities for marketing experts to feed off its success seem end­ less. But one marketing tool that almost every film relies on these days is a hit soundtrack. Some sell, some don't. The "Titanic" soundtrack is selling. Go into any record store and you might be hard pressed to find a copy in stock. Many stores are selling out of them seemingly before they even can put them on the shelves. It's pretty much un­ heard of for a mostly orchestral soundtrack to reach this status. Currently #1 on Billboard's Top 200 chart, the "Ti­ tanic" CD is the first score-domi­ nated soundtrack to hit this mark since "Chariots of Fire." The success of the CD lit­ erally has some so-called experts baffled. Why are people buying this CD at such record paces? Is the music just that good? Does it remind people of the film? Is it the Celine Dion performed song "My Heart Will Go On?" Well, depend­ ing on who you ask, you may get nnv one of these answers. T he music of "Titanic" is sort of a new-age/orchestral mix, which gives it somewhat of a unique feel. There are live voices, mixed with sampled voices, mixed with various other synthesizer sounds, mixed with a traditional orchestra. With this music, composer James Horner is able to capture virtually every mood/emotion in the film—joy, adventure, love, and heartbreak. But, unfortunately, some of these emotions are cap­ tured in the most generic ways. The main goal of any film score is to compliment what we see on screen, while, at the same time, go almost unnoticed. Horner succeeds in complementing what we see in the Remember watching your grandmother piece together that old quilt years ago? You maneled at how carefully she measured and cut. and the gentleness with which she sewed each piece together. Looking at the finished work of art today, with its many different colors and textures, from corduroy to calico, you see it as a masterpiece of memories and dreams. piece film. However, when the music is presented on CD, these genericisms are easy to hear. We hear joy in the track "Southampton," though, when taken apart from the film, it sounds like happy synthesizer music that borrows heavily from Enya's "Book of Days." We hear adven­ ture in the more actionoriented tracks, such as "Hard to Starboard" and "The Sinking." Apart from the film, the music, though admittedly excit­ ing and active, is pretty standard—especially if you are at all familiar with Horner's other works. As much as the joy and adventure ele­ ments lose strength apart from the film, the love and heartbreak elements come across as strong as ever. For me, this is the saving grace of the CD. The love element is most prominently heard in the track "Rose." This is also the thematic material on which the song "My Heart Will Go On" is based. This music is quiet, lonely, and reflec­ tive, much like the character of Rose. The heartbreak element comes in the form of a theme for Jack, heard in several tracks, though most notably in "Never an Absolution." In the film, this mu­ sic is virtually absent until the last twenty minutes. These two themes alone make this CD worth having. Horner makes the two characters' love apparent musically in a couple of tracks, as the two themes are played simultaneously to create a kind of unity. This may be hard to pick up on, but listen to the last minute or so of "An Ocean of Memories" if you want to hear what I'm talking about. I should also mention the -fhe, song "My Heart Will Go On."

"I really didn't think we were going to blow any­ body out. The players proved me wrong, and I love to be proven wrong like that. We scored eas­ ily," said Breedlove. The win once again showed the Mountaineers' dominance over their arch-rivals to the South. Appalachian now leads the overall series against the Lady Catamounts 43-17. Western Carolina was led by Karen Mason with 14 points, but she connected on just three of 12 from the field. However, Ma­ son was eight of nine from the charity stripe. "I told them to stop fouling her and make her make a shot. After that, she (Mason) didn't score anymore," said Breedlove.

Apps defeat Buccaneers 78-66 Mountaineers score their seventh conference win of the year Justin Griffin Sports Editor Appalachian State shrugged off an earlier lack-luster showing against East Tennesee State in Johnson City to defeat the Bucs 78-66 on Satur­ day. With the win Appalachain im­ proved its Southern Conference record to 7-0. "It's unbelievable," point guard Tyson Patterson said of his team's conference record. After a see-saw battle for most of the first half, where East Tennesee State built leads as big as four points, Appalachian established an 11-point lead at halftime off the strength of a 4-0 run in the last 20 seconds of the half. While the game wasn't the nailbiter that the contest in Johnson City proved to be on Jan. 3, the Bucs played ASU close for most of the game. "They played much more inspired basketball than we did," ASU Coach Buzz Peterson said. Kareem Livingston led the way for Appalachian with 18 points and six re­ bounds. Peterson said that part of the game plan from the start was to get the ball into Livingston early and to push the tempo. Patterson, who finished with 16 points and six assists picked up most of the slack offensively, "I was really taking whatever the defense (ETSU) was giving me." For Peterson the close game re­ ally wasn't a suprise. "East Tennessee (State) always causes us problems." Down by 11 points at half, the Buccaneers quickly cut the lead to seven points at the 18:52 mark of the game and eventually cut the lead to four points with 16 minutes left. Appalachian finally put the nail in the coffin when Marshall Phillips hit a jumper with 2:26 left to make the score 70-59. At that point in the game, the fouling started and all ASU had to do was hit their free throws. In the first half, ETSU jumped out to an early 10-6 lead while Appalachian was trying to jump start their offense.

As most of you know, college campuses will be under the watchful eye of people across the nation and the world this year. The alcohol-related inci­ dents at LSU, MIT, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Western Carolina have catapulted every college and university into the limelight. Office of Student Judicial Affairs It is very unfortunate what happened to the students involved in those inci­ dents, but is also unfortunate that the less than prudent decisions of a few students have instantly created a reputation for us all as college students. I am very proud of the initiative Appalachian is taking with this issue. We have already sponsored several programs that have increased the aware­ ness of alcohol abuse and its consequences. I am also pleased that Appa­ lachian has made fighting alcohol abuse a year-long campaign this year. This means there will be programs all year, as well as forums and meetings brainstorming ways our campus can combat alcohol abuse. Hopefully, our proactive approach will prevent the state legislature from enacting policies that diminish our freedom as college students. Thusly, I challenge all of you to cherish your freedom and act responsibly this semester and for the rest of your college years. Our reputation as col­ lege students is on the line. The world needs to know that our values and morals are in check. We can no longer sit around and let the negative actions of some spoil it for the rest of us. And who knows, the example that we set may change some negative actions to positive. The Office of Student Judicial Affairs is seeking qualified candidates for positions on the Student Judicial Board. Applications may be picked up from our office, located on the second floor of Plemmons Student Union. Application deadline is Friday, February 27, at 4:00 p.m. There will be an Information session on Wednesday, February 11 in the New River Room of the Student Union, at 7:30 p.m. for all interested students. For more infor­ mation, please call the Office of Student Judicial Affairs at 262-2704.

Aside from his 35 years experience with law enforcement, he maintains university af­ filiations as an assistant professor at Michigan State University and Georgetown University. An expert in his field, both nationally and abroad, Ressler served as founder and past director of the FBI's Violent Criminal Appre­ hension Program. He served as a consultant for movies such as Copy­ cat and hit television shows The X-Files and The Profiler, as well as an expert witness for several books. Ressler's early interests in homicide inspection grew into a lifetime vocation. This escalated into a study of 36 sexual killers from 20 state prisons. The study highlighted 250 suspected victims. Infor­ mation gathered from Ressler's study con­ tinues to remain at the forefront in devel­ oping criminal profiles. Ressler is presently viewed as the nation's foremost criminologist and expert on violent crime. He is also accredited with coining the phrase "serial killer." Ressler opened his presentation by defining several key terms used in homi­ cide classification. According to Ressler, a crime may be classified as serial only if it is premeditated and methodical. Most serial homicides are sexually driven and satisfy some level of fantasy. STUDIES OF dmwmUmM mfmm ms • . "In serial murders, fantasies become the fuel," Ressler said. Serial crimes involve a minimum of three victims, three events and three or more locations. In most cases, serial mur­ derers remain unidentified until their cap­ ture, according to Ressler. Spree homicides, on the other hand, involve a fleeing fugitive and, in most cases, are not premeditated. Spree homi­ cides are categorized by positive iden­ tification of a fugitive even before his or her capture. Mass murder reflects a third common classification, Ressler said. Mass murders are characterized by a number of victims killed at one time in a common location. A career in criminology brought Ressler face to face with some of the world's most notorious killers. He had the opportunity to dabble in the deal­ ings of Charles Manson on three occasions. Termed as a "career crimi­ nal," Manson spent Ressler discusses a life against most of his life in prison.

King, Jr.'s was remembered by sev­ eral guest speakers, including Dr. Vernon C. King, nephew to the late activist. When asked to describe the effect that his uncle had on him, King spoke as a family member, as a black American and as a minister. "First of all, Dr. King was a minister in the fullest sense of the word," King said. "I looked to his example of being true to the calling of serving humanity and mak­ ing life better for people," he said. King also described his uncle as a young person who spoke out against what he thought was wrong. He saw the inequities that hap­ pened in the south and felt that the treat­ ment was wrong in the eyes of God, he said. Third, in his lifestyle Martin Luther King, Jr. tried to do what was right, said King. King, Jr. was an example of being true to the word. Finally, King, Jr. taught that dreams can come true, King said. "He shared that if we believe in ourselves and in God, all things are pos­ sible," he said. King also discussed how his uncle's example applies to today's youth. "We must believe in ourselves," said King. "If we believe in ourselves there is no limit to what we can become." King said that the youth of today should speak out against wrongs in soci­ ety. In doing that, young people can make America a better place, he said. Additionally, if all young people get together and work for one common cause, they can make the civil rights movement work, King. said. King's com­ ments were followed by an address from Dr. C.T. Vivian, lead­ ing civil rights activ­ ist and former mem­ ber of King, Jr.'s per­ sonal staff. "No one has been so influential on : v: so many critical issues I IIP* few® for so many people as ,' • His-, : Is Martin King," said Vivian. Speaking about the journey to the next century, and de­ 'We must accept finite disappointment, scribing King, Jr. as a but we must never lose infinite hope." 21st century leader, Vivian challenged people to view the Martin Luther King, Jr. late activist as an in­ 1929 - 1968 dividual who pre­ pared our country for the future.

The university has distributed its Inclement Weather Policy to student post office boxes to inform students of univer­ sity policy, and of what to do in case of adverse weather conditions. The policy states that Appalachian State "reserves the right to cancel classes during inclement weather." Appalachian News Bureau Director Jane Nicholson said that snow, icy roads and flooding are all considered inclement weather. The Appalachian News Bureau and the Office of Public Affairs will try to re­ port class cancellation to local media. Stu­ dents can also call "the snow line" at 262SNOW for cancellation information, said Nicholson. The university's home page (www.appstate.edu) will also have class cancellation information. If classes are canceled, vital univer­ sity departments will remain open to ben­ efit the on-campus student body. Such departments include food services, the steam plant and University Police. Nicholson suggests that students communicate with one another when weather conditions are unfavorable. "When times of inclement weather occur, students could really help spread the word [about cancellations] if they [have] developed a phone tree in resi­ dence halls, fraternities and within other campus communities," she said. see Weather on page 3 �Housing Reapplication Schedule Academic Year 1998-99 Use this schedule to determine when to sign up for the space you want.

"He passed through on his to hell to say good-bye," slef said. R.ess Ressler concluded his acc0unts with the discussion of Ted pviirdy. An intelligent law student, social worker and security guard, gundy had many faces—faces that masked a brutal killer. This "relatively charming and easy to talk to" monster ad- mitted to his murders before his execution in 1988. Is serial killing inborn in hu­ mans? According to Ressler, ev­ eryone is neutral at birth. In other words, we are not born as serial killers. It is also vir­ tually impossible to become a se­ rial murderer overnight except in cases of severe psychosis, he said. Ressler attests to the nurture philosophy, stating that "anyone can become a serial killer if the conditions are right, but it usually begins at a young age." K i n g from page 1 Vivian described a system to end the apparent stagnation of the country, a movement where activ­ ists act instead of reacting. Vivian closed his oration of Kingwith a personal tribute. "For­ give us Lord, for we didn't know who he was," he said. "If we had, we wouldn't have let him been shot down on thatbalcqny in Memphis. He loved us; he didn't have to, but he did." Following Vivian's address, Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski unveiled a bust of King that will be a reminder of his legacy and of his work. The bust will be perma­ nently displayed in the student union's first-floor Multicultural Center, Borkowski said.

T"h u rsdaV You've just arrived back in Boone after a long weekend of doing whatever it was you left town for in the first place. What? You need a reason to leave Boone? Incredible. Once you've finally unpacked all your be­ longings and returned your car to the appropriate god-forsaken location five miles away, it's time to hit the computer lab. After all, you've been gone for three days and if you don't check your e-mail before tomorrow, there will be a million messages for you to plow through. After typing in your username and password, the computer greets you happily with the message "You have 15 new mail messages." Rejoicing that people really do care, you spend the next hour typ­ ing to friends all over the state, country or world. The above scenario is pretty common these days, but even five years ago, it would be unthink­ able. Technology has been advancing so quickly that in the time it takes you to read this sentence, com­ puters can perform a million or so tasks that we would work on for weeks. It's kinda scary if you stop and think about it. Whatever technology we're using right now will be almost obsolete in about three years. Not exactly encouraging news for those of you shop­ ping for a computer, now is it? But anyway, back to the e-mail. Sad as it may be, e-mail has become a big part of my every­ Kevin Burnette Columnist The world is becoming a scary place, boys and girls, and not just because interest rates are on the rise or jobs are scarce. I mean that we ought to be fearing for our lives. This fear isn't just from watch­ ing 60 Minutes' reports on the latest Oklahoma Cityscale explosions, but from the inner depths of our society. It has now become the semi-normal folks having to look over their shoulders at the quiet ones and the boys-next-door. Yes, I'm talking about the Hannibal Lectors, Ted Bundys and John Wayne Gacys of America. Their hunting grounds are running straight through our backyards and we have become the prey. Especially, us, the college students. Former director of the FBI's prestigious Vio­ lent Criminal Apprehension Program, Mr. Robert Ressler spoke at Farthing Auditorium Tuesday night. What he had to say disturbed and shocked the audi­ ence as he discussed his investigations and interviews with notorious serial killers such as Jeffrey Dahmer, Bundy, and Gacy. Ressler introduced the term serial killer to Americana, and the idea of these warped murderers has stuck with us through the media (books and movies). Ressler did consulting work with authors Patricia Cornwell, Mary Higgins Clark and Tom Harris (author of The Silence of the Lambs) and then on the movie Copycat. Along with those credits Ressler also helped the producers of The X-Files and Darin Glass ^ Daniels ^'ng Editor O'Brien Beth Bliss News Editor John Starling '«ss Manager Opinion Editor ^ u skins Jeremy Ball ction M anager Parrish Editor Campus Life Editor Justin Griffin Sports Editor sages to people. Last time I checked, it's still per­ fectly legal to send a message that isn't a forward. Whatever. Okay, enough of my ranting and raving about forwards. Back to the benefits of e-mail. Like I said before, e-mail is a great way to communicate with friends. It's also a way to rediscover long-lost friends. Most universities in the UNC system have a homepage with an e-mail search program that makes finding the e-mail ad­ dress of your best friend from fifth grade pretty dang simple. One day last semester I re­ ceived a forward from a friend of mine. While la­ zily scrolling down the screen to arrive at the message, my eyes glanced at the other forward re­ cipients. I saw the names of two people I hadn't seen or talked to in three years. Once I had their addresses (also conveniently given on for­ warded messages), I mailed them and typed out a hearty "howdy-ho!" in my message. We were both amazed how technology brought us together. If it wasn't for e-mail, we never would have found each other. Some people view this deluge of technology with more than a little skepticism. While this view is understandable, there's a lot more to benefit from than you might think. Just remember the benefits the next time a computer loses your 30-page paper... The Profiler with making the shows more realistic. While these entertainments have given us chills, Ressler has gotten the chills first hand. Ressler repeated a popular Nietzche quote throughout the forum: "When you look into the dark­ ness, the darkness looks back at you." This is what I've seen, friends and neighbors, and quite frankly it scares the hell out of me. America is the society where you didn't used to have to lock your doors or fear that some crazed sex killer would storm through your window to bathe in your blood. Now our worst fears are coming to life and there's not much we can do, save being aware of what's going on. No one person is responsible for this epidemic, but I think that we, as a civilization, have made these men into what they are. Now we have to live with it and hopefully heal whatever wound America has opened in itself to cause this infection. Ressler reminded us that serial killers are drawn to college campuses where there is a plentiful supply of victims, both female and male. Look at Ted Bundy. He murdered at least 40-50 young women in their late teens to early twenties (several were college enrolled). The same can be said of Jef­ frey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy, except thatiheir victims were young men and boys. The most lovely of thoughts was that these men (most serial killers are predominantly white males) are just enacting sick sexual fantasies. This made my skin crawl just a little . and it made me fear for my girlfriend and my other friends. Imagine some guy with a face like Opie Tay­ lor and an Einstein IQ dreaming about how many ways he can carve you up into bite size pieces. What if he's waiting in that walkway between Belk Library and Smith-Wright just as you're leaving from a late night of studying? Here at ASU, I don't think there has ever been a reported case or the suspicion of there being a ho­ micidal maniac running rampant. I believe that ev­ eryone remembers the news coverage of Gainsville, FL about seven or eight years ago. A serial killer murdered several people in the town that surrounds the University of Florida and had police baffled. A suspect was charged with a couple of the killings, but there was never a sure feeling among the popu­ lace. There had been a 20/20 special about those murders which showed fathers loading daughters into station wagons and young men carrying shotguns into the dorms. People were scared and they had reason to be. Could this happen in Boone? Think about the advantages of being a serial killer here at ASU: We're out here in the middle of nowhere, with mountain forests and the parkway just a few minutes away. You could easily hide a body, destroy any evidence of a murder and be well into Virginia or Tennessee before local law enforcement had the foggiest idea. Then you would have to look at the sterling reputation of ASU police. One father remarked that his child would have to be standing in a 20-minute parking space for 25 minutes before they could be saved from an attack from a frothing at the mouth lunatic weilding hedgeclippers. Even then the victim would only have a parking ticket stuck in a rigor mortis frozen hand. How safe will you feel walk­ ing back to the dorm late at night by yourself? Who will it be with click-clocking footsteps behind you in the tunnel? What if you don't hear anything at all? For those on ASU campus, or anyone else for that matter, just keep an eye out and try to stay safe. Think about those like Robert Ressler who are trying to keep these monsters from knocking on our doors and coming out of our closets. Society teaches us to refrain from express­ ing ourselves if our opinions are controversial. We should avoid topics which are race specific, and we definitely shouldn't be gender biased in any of our comments. I realize our society consists of many diferent cultural backgrounds, but I don't think it is right to ask us to tiptoe around all of them! The "politically cor­ rect" movement suggests exactly this, but to ig­ nore all differ­ ences in race, gender, and ethnicity is not only impossible, but impractical. America is the great melting pot and our dif­ ferences make us all such won­ derful individu­ als. Expressing our opinions reveals to others a new perspective which they may have been unaware of before. Also, it helps us realize differences in moral values related to certain culture differences. This country was founded by men and women who were not afraid to speak their opinions, and who died for the right to do so. Now, students don't even speak up when they witness a person hurt­ ing another. It appears we as Americans are losing backbone! I am not saying we as students should go out and start riots as often as possible, instead, I think we should learn to listen to others' opinions openly, and without taking offense, so we can, in an edu­ cated way, begin to form our own opinions. We should express our own opinions in a constructive way about right and wrong. We should start caring again about how oth­ ers perceive us and stop the, "Man, I don't care what any­ body thinks of me," syndrome. Be a role model, and let people know you care about certain is­ sues. Stop wussing out at the first scent of a debate. Conver­ sation and interac­ tion with others gets spicy when we start talking about our real feelings. If we want to broaden our horizons, then we must see situ­ ations from others perspectives. Think about this one: "By saying that one opinion or moral stance is as good as another, we can draw attention to our own tolerance, avoid an­ tagonizing others, and get on with our careers," (John Leo, U.S. News & World Report). Do you want to live your life tolerating others and just getting on with your business, or do you want to be the person people remember because you weren't afraid to speak your mind? "E-mail is a great way to communicate with friends. It's also a way to rediscover long-lost friends." Expressing yourself in a P.C. world holidays and breaks, Editor-in-Chief day routine. Usually two or three times a day, I'll trudge into some computer lab and see who sent me mail. It's a really nice way to keep in contact with friends from high school and family, or just to com­ municate with your Boone friends in a unique way. An inevitable burden of e-mail is forwarded messages. Oh yes, you know what I'm talking about. Those messages that have been forwarded so many times that it takes you five minutes to find the mes­ sage itself. I've seen forwards ranging from mildly amusing lists of pick-up lines to the Brady Bunch sex files. One particu­ lar favorite was a forward supposedly from Bill Gates. Apparently he was testing a new e-mail tracking program and would pay each person who for­ warded his message $1,000. Needless to say, I still haven't seen my cash. Whatever. I'm not bitter or anything. Some people absolutely despise forwards. "I don't have time to send them," or 'They're not per­ sonal enough" are common excuses. How much time does it take to type a few words and hit "send"? Obviously way too much time for these busy people. Sounds like somebody is headed for a nervous break­ down. Of course fowards aren't personal enough; they're messages from other people! It makes me wonder how these people got past Admissions.

The dream is gone." - Roger Waters Kelly Fisher Columnist I see it all the time, and I wonder, why do students seem to have so little regard for honesty, integrity and overall morality? Students cheat, come in to classes late, disrespect their professors and sit by and watch their friends fall asleep. On the week­ ends, people get drunk and hook-up with guys or girls they never intend to see again. Girls get sexu­ ally violated at parties, and people act like they are lepers if they talk about it. What causes students to feel as though they don't need to express their opin­ ions when they see something wrong going on. Maybe we all just feel it isn't our responsibility, or maybe we don't distinguish between right and wrong as well as we have in the past. Alcohol and pot take the blame most of the time, but since most of us don't go to class drunk or high, what is the reason for this behavior? Ever been in a room having a conversation, and suddenly you realize you might be offending someone, so you shut up? Or maybe you avoid stat­ ing your opinion in a class because it is obvious the professor would disagree with your views? Desensitization of American kids seems to be responsible for the lack of expression by students today.

I reached out my hand and gave her the slip of paper that had been my ide all day long. 5" The young lady held the slip of paper up in the air, and another person rame by and took it. I stood and waited, tvatching the people behind the counter kvalkfrantically around, trying to find their destination. Finally, what I had been wait­ ing for arrived. Then the young lady said, "Your rextbooks for 'Mass Media and Society ' are not rental. You will have to buy it downstairs." I took my rental textbooks and left the sweltering room to walk down­ stairs in search of my textbook. As I was walking, I began think­ ing to myself, "Why do I have to buy my textbook? Aren't they all supposed to be rental books?" I reached the bottom floor and looked out into the maze of students wait­ ing in lines with looks of frustration upon their faces. I went in and started the hunt for my textbook. Once I had both books, I walked over to the lines formed from the cash­ iers. I began to have that look of frustra­ tion on my face that I had seen on others earlier. After 15 long, agonizing minutes, I got to the register. "That'll be $32.60," the woman said. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the piece of square plastic I had recently begun to rely heavily upon. The cashier swiped my card. "Yet another bill to work off by serving hotdogs at Cas­ cades," I thought. My experience is not unlike many experiences Appalachian students have had the past several weeks.

Students grab a few final books at the University Bookstore, (photos by Marvin Evans) Cathy Smith, Acting Manager for the ASU Bookstore, said that most stu­ dents, upon entering Appalachian, are under the impression that all your books are rental. "The rental system isn't to replace buying books, it's to help student's save money," Smith said. Smith also stated that it is the aca­ demic department's right and responsibil­ ity to choose the books that go in the rental system. The Appalachian State University General Bulletin states, "Undergraduate student fees include textbook rental, en­ titling students to receive the main text­ book used in each course for which they register."

Bogle also feels that having to pay the same rental fee as students who get to rent all their books is fair. "I think in the long run everyone comes to the advantage because I only pay $55 instead of $200 or more," Bogle said Appalachian is one of few schools which has a rental textbook system. According to Smith, the rental system at Appalachian was started in 1938. Blimling said that the system was an extension of when high school's used to buy books for students. Debi S. Tabor, Manager for the Rental Text/Tradebook Division said hav­ ing enough rental textbooks for eveiystu­ dent is a goal for the bookstore. "On the rental system, we try to have a book for every student enrolled in the class. Sometimes enrollment is raised at the beginning of the semester, and we have to re-order books," Tabor said. The bookstore doesn't run their rental system on estimation, but some­ times unexpected things happen. "We may not get every book back, because some people might want to pur­ chase that book, which they can do at a discounted price. Or there may be some variable we don't know about; the book has been lost or stolen and may not be returned to us," Smith said. 'The depart­ ment gives us numbers that they get from enrollment figures the first semester it (textbook) is adopted. They will tell us how many to purchase." The ASU Bookstore relies on fac­ ulty members to say what books to pro­ vide the students with. If someone takes i u schedule " ~ - ^ u their 3U , C uui e to the rental department and gives it to rental department them, and they've met all the require­ ments to rent, they are given the books. For both rental and for purchase, we ba­ sically have to rely on the faculty mem­ ber informing the class via a syllabus, ver­ bal information, whatever form that may take as to what book they (students) are required to get," Smith said. Most students are under the im­ pression that the ASU Bookstore receives funding from the N.C. State Legislature. Not so. "We do not receive any state funding whatsoever. We are owned by the board of trustees of the school. The rev­ enues that we have that are in excess of our operating needs are used for various things. First of all, $116,000 a year goes to scholarships," Smith said. Smith said that in her 20 years at the bookstore, she has always remem­ bered the bookstore giving to scholarships first. "We give to the general academic scholarships $116,000 a year. That is our committment, regardless of what our in­ come. That is what we contribute," Smith said. Smith said that the rest of the money goes to run the bookstore. "We are state employees. We get no state money from the legislature. If there is a raise in salary and benefits, the bookstore has to provide that in raising its own revenues. We pay our own elec­ tricity bills, the books, the freight, and other materials. It goes to run the busi­ ness and pay the employees," Smith said. "No bookstore is totally state funded.

This is a good example of a stress dream. We wake up, perhaps sweat­ ing, but relieved that "it was only a dream." If we were to reflect on the con­ tent of the dream, the feelings associated with the scenario, as well as the feelings we experienced upon awakening, we may be able to examine and get in touch with a significant part of ourselves. With this dream, one may discover a sense of being overwhelmed with current responsibility and a feeling disorganization, inability to keep up with obligations, a sense of in­ competence and perhaps shame about this perceived failure. Reflecting on these experiences may lead one to think about what parts of one's life need attention. With the latefor-class dream, one may discover a feel­ ing of being out of control, in regard to academic demands, and then consider steps to take that can lead to better time management or a decrease in workload. We seem to dream when we are under stress, so exploring dreams can be a use­ fill tA/av of discovering feelings and ~,ni, ful way r\f Hicr^rarinrr mak­ ing positive changes in our lives. In remaining open to dream in­ terpretation, we provide an opportunity to tend to our stress or other in­ ternal states, it rather than con­ tinuing to suppress them. When we continue to sup­ press certain feel­ ings or issues in­ stead of dealing with them, these experiences con­ tinue to be portrayed in our dreams. Thus, many of us experi­ ence recurring dreams. W i t h these dreams, parts of our mind are try­ ing to get bur attention. Most likely. If you worked to better understand the mean­ ing of the recurring dream, you may alle­ viate the power and energy of the dream and experience it to a lesser degree, if not ~i: : eliminate it. Using myself as an example, for years, I have had dreams involving crashes with me as a passenger on an airplane that is out of control. Even my descrip­ tion of the dream conveys a com­ mon emotional experience of feeling out of con­ trol, not feeling in charge of some aspect of my life. Rather than dis­ counting this dream as another nightmare, I think jj about things I might be involved in about which I feel overwhelmed or not in control. It may be a relationship, a situation at work, a family matter or a financial obli­ gation. I use the dream as a vehicle to dis­ cover some part of myself that needs at­ tention and then, ideally, I work to get this matter under control. If we pay attention to our dreams, we can learn about deeper aspects of our personality and perhaps grow from this knowledge. There are many approaches to dream interpretation. Dream dictionaries are available, but they offer generic, im­ personal explanations for the objects in a dream. I prefer to think of the dreamer as weaving his or her own personal tale, where the symbols or objects in the dream have a unique meaning for each dreamer. Carl Jung, the famous psychologist, was fascinated with symbols and dreams. He saw dream symbols as a means of eluci­ dating and expressing inner content, transforming what was formle&, nonver­ bal and unconscious into something known. Jung said that dreams "show us the unvarnished natural truth," and by at­ tending to our dreams, we are shining a light on who we really are and what we are truly feeling, wishing, fearing, etc. So, how do we work with our dreams to come to this understanding? Jung proposed a method of discovering the meanings of our dream images. In brief, the key is to associate any word, idea, mental picture, feeling or memor that pops into your mind to the objects and images in your dream.

If they don't elect to stay in their same room next year, they may be apartment hunting. So, for those who may be in that position, or for those who want to live off campus, here are some suggestions. When looking for an apartment, there are several things to consider. First, prepare a bud­ get. This budget should include the monthly rent, utilities, trash, wa­ ter, sewer, electric heat, cable, tele­ phone and personal expenses. Second, consider the loca­ I look at it? Then, write down all the associations you have with this horse. For example, you may think of being wild, controlled or ma­ nipulated, Mr. Ed. It is no accident the unconscious produced you riding a horse. You could have been on a bike, a camel or a pogo stick. But a horse is used because it expresses some dynamic that is at work in your unconscious. Associations should be made to all the objects of your dreams, as each represents a sig­ nificant piece of you. Even if you dream of yourself interacting with tion. You have to think whether you are driving, walking or taking the Appalcart to school. Third, decide whether to have roommates or not. Roommates keep the rent down, but you have to be able to live together. The size of an apartment de­ pends on how many people are living there. Also, con­ sider if you or any of your roommates want to have pets. Most landlords re­ quire a pet deposit or extra rent for pets. Fourth, find out about maintenance and security policies. Finally, and most impor tantly, read any lease thoroughly before signing and paying a secu­ rity deposit. If you are caught in an apartment scam, it may be a situation that you are forced to live with, literally. Rob Holton of Holton Management Rentals said that there are two major things that stu­ dents should make sure to do to avoid scams. First of all, when moving in, make an inspection checklist of all the things that are broken or stained. Then, get the landlord to sign it. Secondly, be very careful when selecting roommates. Make sure that they will pay their share of the bills. Roommates can rip you off, as well as landlords. Depending on where the apartment is located around the campus, prices can vary. A one- bedroom apartment can run from $350 to $450 per month. A twobedroom can run from $450 to $750, and a four-bedroom can be close to, or over, $1000. As you move farther away from campus, the prices will go down. But consider the conve­ nience of living away from cam­ pus. Apartments can be a large step up from dorms. They provide more space and more privacy. However, cost and convenience must be considered. For those who may not have the choice though, happy hunting! another person, the feelings asso­ ciated with that other person may represent a part of yourself. You may experience a friend, for example, as being an­ gry. It may be helpful then to get in touch with a part of yourself that is experiencing some form of an­ ger. So, once you have chosen those associations that really click for you, the next step would be to determine how this quality exists for you. For example, if the word that clicks for you with the horse is "wild," you may think about where the wild quality is in you, where you have been or felt wild lately. You may realize that you have been feeling too "wild" in regard to social situations, or not wild enough. After deciphering the aspects of your personality that are depicted in each symbol or object of the dream, the next step would be to put the ideas together to de­ termine a central theme. Tie the associations together. In doing so, you may realize some insight or learn something new about how you have been feeling or experi­ encing your life. For example, in the horse dream, you were having a hard time staying saddled, so you may get in touch with feeling unsafe or insecure in regard to a wild social life, or a fear that if you were to loosen up socially, you may lose control over your life. The next step would then be to make a con­ scious change in your life, change your habits, change an attitude, do something about your dream. It requires a physical response in your waking life to make the un­ conscious conscious. In response to the horse dream, you may de­ cide to spend less time partying and more time reading or involved in peaceful activities. To help you remember your dreams, it is suggested that you write down or record the con­ tents of the dream upon waking from it. You may even re-read your dream journal before sleep to help prime you for more insights. The key is to make yourself aware of some aspect that you may be "in the dark" about, and grow from that knowledge. So, dream a little dream tonight and learn some big lessons.

We are just like any other business in town. Either we run the business and run it well and keep our heads above water, or we don't," said Smith. Smith feels that there are many benefits offered to students by having the rental system instead of mdents having to buy all their becks. "I think the first and fore­ most is the cost savings. Books are expensive, that's just a fact. The savings that a student would have would vary, depending on circum­ stances, depending on how many rental books they had and what major they've gone into," Smith said. According to Smith, the average cost of a textbook is $58. The ASU Bookstore textbook rental fee that every student at Appalachian pays is $55 per se­ mester, three do,liars less than the average cost for one book. Smith also said she feels that, on average, students save minimally $150 to $200 a semes­ ter on books with the rental sys­ tem. She suggests that students add up all of the prices in their rental textbooks and then subtract from that price $55, the textbook rental fee per semester, and see how much is saved. "We look at the rental sys­ tem over a four-year period, and we believe that over a four-year period, the student will .save money, with the savings varying from semester to semester," Tabor said. Blimling said that, on av­ erage, college students across the United States pay $550 per year for textbooks. "Textbook rental fees are $110 per year, plus any supplemen­ tal costs. Overall, students are pay­ ing less per year. It is less expen­ sive instead of buying and selling the textbooks back," Blimling said. One question students may be wondering about is, what is the markup on the books the ASU Bookstore carries, and what is that money used for. "We use a college book­ store industry standard. If we re­ ceive the usual discount on an aca­ demic textbook, it may be 20 per­ cent. For example, if the book sells for $40, and we received a 20 per­ cent discount, we would have paid $32 for that book. What we also paid on that book and the other books in that order was the freight, which is quite a chunck of money for the bookstore. When you av­ erage it all out, we may have paid an additional $1 to $1.50 for the book. We mark it up then. If a book comes in net, which means it has no suggested list price, we mark it up 25 percent," Smith said. For a book bought at a net price of $32, with a 25 percent markup, the book sells for $42.65. "One of the reasons we do that, is for when we order from a society, which we do a lot, and they give us a Five or 10 percent dis­ count. We take it, which means we lose money on the order," Smith said. With the 20 and 25 percents which help the store make money, and the 5 and 10 percents which cause the store to lose money, Smith feels that it all aver­ ages out for the best for the stu­ dents and the bookstore. Smith said that there are several books that the ASU Book­ store sells many of. "Lab manuals would be the one that we've sold the most copies of. Closely following that would be the introductory level English handbook. I think some of the increases, depending on your major, will come as you get into the junior and senior level in various areas," Smith said. For students who have to buy books with recent information in them, a book in the rental sys­ tem may not be effective. "In the rental system, one of the guidelines is that the way it maintains itself financially is to have the book there for three years," Tabor said. Tabor said that for a text­ book to be there three years, it has to be adopted by the department prior to it being on the rental sys­ tem. Smith added that using a book on the rental system can sometimes hurt what you need to learn for your career. SPRING BRtAir *Gain valuable work experience FROM $129 PER WEEK *Make new friends YOU!

"Both Lenin (Vasquez) and Jeremy (Hart) have performed well for us," Mance replied. 'They both seem to be racking up the wins every time we wrestle." Returning NCAA qualifi­ ers Hairston, senior Derek Strobel and senior Erik Smith have each been troubled by injury, but look to be ready to go as the conference season approaches. Strobel saw his first action of the season against American, but fell to Brett Ruth, 8-6 in overtime. Apps from page 12 like any other shot, whether it was three seconds to go or if it was 15 minutes to go," Adams said of the game-winning shot. For Adams, the shot was the finishing touch on a night where he led the team in scoring with 14 points including the last five points of the game. The Mountaineers com­ mitted 25 turnovers in their elev­ enth win of the year, "It looked like a game played in November," Coach Buzz Peterson said "We were warned coming in that they were a scrappy bunch, and that we'd have to play up to our potential," Adams said. In the first half, the Eagles built and lost leads as big as five points. The momentum started to swing when guard Tige Darner cashed in on a layup with 6:07 re­ maining in the first half. Appala­ chian kept the lead for the rest of the half and went into halftime with a 32-29 lead. Appalachian scored the first five points of the second half to increase the lead to eight points, but only managed to score 12 points in the next eleven minutes. Saturday in Chapel Hill the Mountaineers took a 96-63 loss to the then-top ranked Tarheels. Despite the loss Appalachian's improvement was evident to UNC Coach Bill Guthridge. "Buzz Peterson has obviously done a great job with his team, we just have better players." Guthridge remarked. ASU kept the margin un­ der 20 points for most of the first half and managed to cut the lead to eight points at the 6:15 minute mark of the first half. To Peterson, the effort put forth by the team eclipsed the score. "I didn't ever look at the score to see what it was," Peterson said. "I tried to avoid looking at that board at all times. The score was going to be whatever," Peterson said. "I liked the effort by our kids." Carolina jumped out to an early 7-0 lead before Tyson Patterson connected on its first basket, a turnaround jumper in the lane. The lead was at least eight point for the rest of the half, turn­ ing into a 16 point lead at half. The second half, however was a different story altogether. UNC worked the lead up to 25 points before Darner was able to cash in on a lay-up at the 17:01 mark of the second half. Darner led the way for ASU with 14 points and four as­ sists and Adams added 13 points. Antawn Jamison paced the Tarheels with 25 points and Vince Carter chipped in 17 points. Ed Cota finished with eight points and 14 assists. Carolina outrebounded Appalachian 48-23. Appalachian's next home game will be Saturday at 1:00 PM. against East Tennessee State.

Borkowksi and Vice Chancellor of Student Develop­ ment Gregory S. Blimling. The decision was filed Dec. 15,1997. The lawsuit was originally filed by plaintiffs Kendrick Byrd, Gordon Fenderson and Rodney Thomas, all Ap­ palachian students during the 1996-1997 school term. Judge Dennis Winner ruled that the university acted appropriately when it took disciplinary action against the stu­ dents for violating a university directive, according to an ASU News Bureau release. Winner stated in the ruling that "when a student enrolls in a university, he explicitly and implicitly agrees to abide by their reasonable rules." According to Watauga County court records, the students claimed that the uni­ Satie Hunt Broyhill stands beside the organ donated by her family to the School of Music.

As stated in the Student Handbook of Rights and Responsibilities, "All vehicles must be registered with the University Police Department to park on campus. This rule is in effect 24 hours a day, seven days a week." Captain Larry Foster of the univer­ sity police said officials are simply trying to be fair and consistent with the ticket­ ing of all vehicles. Officers are now on patrol from 7:30 a.m. to 12 a.m., controlling traffic and parking problems. Students registered to park on cam­ pus must be in their assigned lots from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. After those times, any registered car may park on campus in a legal parking space. Legal spots are in between white lines, while illegal spots are designated by yellow lines. Complaints from the Boone Fire Department have played a hand in the recent enforcement of parking policies. The Boone Fire Department has had problems getting around parked cars near the fire zones around several of the resi­ dence halls. Locust Street, which runs parallel to East Residence Hall, has always been a problem with students parking on the road on the weekends. "The fire department has com­ plained to us about the parking on the street. They cannot get the fire trucks through there," Foster said of the parking problem on Locust Street. Foster said the street will be strictly patrolled this semester. The parking poli­ cies are in effect during weekend hours, he said. Temporary parking passes can be obtained for parents or other visitors free of charge from the traffic office beside the John E. Thomas Student Support Build­ ing. University police did not send out a notice to students informing them of the recent enforcement. Captain Foster said students will receive information on the enforcement in this month's newsletter, due out in a few weeks. Students are urged to have their cars registered and to park in either as­ signed spots or in legal spaces on the weekends.

Carl Wolf Studio �e Appalachian lS j.muaiy 1998 Page 3 Trustees vote for parking, fee increases Ric Beard Staff Writer Campus parking, student fees, university electricity use and a possible visual arts center were discussed by Appalachian State University's Board of Trustees in a December meeting. The board approved the pursuit of purchasing new prop­ erty for additional campus park­ ing. According to Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Jane Helm, the university intends to purchase land now occupied by tobacco ware­ houses. The land is located off Pop­ lar Grove road, west of downtown Boone. Helm said that the prop­ erty is appraised at $500,000. It will cost approximately $1 million to renovate the property for parking purposes. A student fee increase was also on the board's agenda. Begin­ ning in the 1998-1999 academic year, an increase of $219 per stu­ dent will be charged if the Univer­ sity of North Carolina system's Board of Governors gives the in­ crease final approval. The fee increase is being proposed to cover the costs of stu­ dent activities, education, technol­ ogy, and athletics. The board also authorized the purchase of two ix $5 advance electrical generators for use dur­ ing electrical outages and peak campus usage hours. The cost of the generators was close to $1.2 million. They are now located in the new boiler plant on River Street. According to Don Austin of New River Light and Power, the generators will be used between three and 10 hours per month. Austin said using the gen. erators during peak hours instead of paying directly for the electric­ ity will save the university money. He said that they will likely be run­ ning from 8 to 9 a.m. during the winter months. Due to warmer winter weather, the generators have not yet been used this winter. The board also discussed purchasing land now occupied by the United Methodist Church for a visual arts center. Jane Helm said the new cen­ ter would be different from the gallery at Farthing Auditorium "When you have an open space like you do at Farthing, it is hard to control elements," Helm said. She believes that element control will be better at the new facility. No price agreement has been reached on the purchase of the church property. Civil suit from page 1 With special guests Weekend student last spring. The plaintiffs were found guilty of "lewd, indecent or ob­ scene conduct" by the university's judicial board. Fenderson and Byrd were allowed to attend ASU this year, said Athletic Director Roachel Laney. Thomas transferred to the University of Northern Alabama in the spring semester of 1997. Byrd was also allowed to participate with the football team under a court order, Laney said. Borkowski and Blimling had no comment on the situation be­ cause of a pending appeal. The plaintiffs have 30 days to appeal the judge's ruling.Sources disclosed that the plaintiffs will appeal the motion later this week.

Darin Glass Editor-in-Chief ^ I)an'els Beth Bliss ^•"g Editor News Editor "Why did we weep," was the question posed in a recent Newsweek article about Princess Diana's untimely death. The article asserted that the extreme feelings of grief felt by people the world over were due to the universal feeling that Princess Diana was "one of us." This explanation is applicable enough when taken out of context. However, I've yet to hear convincing proof that she was truly "one of us,"—us being the everyday grunts who held such an intimate and loving relationship with her through the magic of cable television and weekly magazines. In the recent past, nearly every faction of our culture grieved over the losses of their particular popular icons. The death of Mother Teresa shocked the Catholics while Jimmy Stewart's demise brought a tear to the eyes of many Baby Boomers. Literary society mourned the loss of beat gurus Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs while millions of African American youth grieved the killings of Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac. The science community said prayers for the late Jacques Cousteau while the en­ tire state of Colorado sang hymns for their deceased poet laureate, John Denver. Republicans held me­ morials for the fund-raising genius of Sonny Bono and Democrats held their own for the tragic death of Brien John Starling Opinion Editor When I was just about 10 years old, I remem­ ber adamantly believing that the world was going to be destroyed by fire in the year 2000. I'm still not sure wVlat prdmpted this belief. Perhaps it was my strong Christian up bringing and the accompanying belief in the Rapture and Arma­ geddon. Maybe it was the constant fear of nuclear attack that most of my generation lived under until the late1980s. It could have even been Prince's song, "1999," which always made me think, "Hey you might as well party now, 'cause tomorrow you're toast." For some reason though, I was sure that I wouldn't live to see 2001. I think back, though, and I realize that, even at that tender age, I was a victim of Pre-Millennium Tension, a term that I borrow from trip-hopper Tricky. To me, this term has come to represent a fear of the millennium that is harbored by some people in our world. It is an over bearing sense of uncertainty in the times ahead. Many of us are probably among that group.

The outrageously rich were struck by the assassination of Gianni Versace while their polar opposites wept over the death of slapstick star Chris Farley. Princess Diana was the heroine of middle to upper class women and they are the ones who wept the most. We, as victims of mass media, feel compelled to grieve the deaths of those we idolize. This phe­ nomenon is admirable at the very least in this age of desensitization. Mourning the death of a fellow human being is one of the few emotional norms of societies all over the world that has tran­ scended the ages— and rightfully so. However, consider the rela­ tionship the vast majority of us truly had with all of our past heroes and icons. For most of us that relationship is nonexistent. Our grandpar­ ents didn't have tea with Jimmy Stewart, the local coffee shop beatnik never discussed the tyranny of the establishment with Allen Ginsberg and virtually nobody ever went shopping with Princess Diana. The characteristics that all of us truly ad­ mire in our heroes are not who they are, but what they do. We're not privileged to know who they are, save what we read in the tabloids and see on ex­ poses. Those adopted by popular culture are immor­ talized. The feats that they've accomplished will al­ ways exist and these are the feats we love them for. Millions wept when Diana was taken away from us because television and magazines have fooled us into thinking that she truly was one of us, which never happened. Media kept us updated on every aspect of her life to such an extent that she assumed a definite place in hearts everywhere as a close friend. Culture dictates that those not in­ volved should sympathize with the friends and family of those who pass away. Society dictates that admirers of the deceased should recognize their accomplish­ ments, mourn the passing of a fel­ low human being and move on. Consider the relationships we actually have with those we idolize and react to their death appro­ priately. If they were really part of your lives, you would've gotten invitations to their funerals. Instead of wasting time, money, and energy sobbing to your­ self and wishing that the government would declare a national day of mourning, try spending that time and energy enjoying the precious few moments you have with your true family and friends. tainty in our world. We have developed so many things in this century that have both exciting and terrifying implications. While we have learned to fly, we have also learned to drop weapons of mass destruction from the sky. We also have glimpsed at the destruction that humans have inflicted on each other and on the world in this cen­ tury. Could we possibly take it too far in the next? side. "The characteristics that all of us truly admire in our heroes are not who they are, but what they do." Creeping up on the Millennium To the Editor: Manager "Life flows on within in you and without you." - George Harrison At times, I feel out-of-state students' needs are ignored. The only difference in treatment be­ tween us and in-state students is that our tuition is about three times as costly. I have no problem with this, because after all, I was the one who chose to come to ASU and pay that much for tuition. However, when I scheduled my Christmas flight home according to the dates given in the O n e Think, for example, of our popular culture. Movies, television, songs and books these days are rife with woe, gloom and despair. One of the biggest cinema hits of 1995 was "12 Monkeys," that predicted the end of the surface world due to a great plague. The next year we saw "Indepen­ dence Day," which showed the earth under a relentless ex­ traterrestrial attack. And ever since the advent of punk 20-scme years ago, music has gradually grown darker and more des­ perate. We are a conspiracy obsessed society, as evidenced by TV shows like the X-Files. The news is usually bad news like, "So and so died today; fighting between rival "Think (about) our popular culture. Movies, television, songs and books these days are rife with woe, gloom and despair." thing that has not escaped us is a similar symptom that was perva­ sive at the end of the 19th century as well. It was called fin de side, or, "relating to, or characteristic of the close of the 19th century and especially its liter­ ary and artistic climate of sophistication, world-wea­ riness and fashionable despair (Webster's New Col­ legiate Dictionary)." Sound familiar? Basically, PreMillennium Tension is an updated version of fin de Appalachian State University Handbook of Rights and Responsibilities, that was given to all students at the beginning of the year, I thought I was set!! That is until three weeks after the fact that I had ordered my airplane ticket to find out that there was a mis­ print in the book! This misprint that said that second semester classes started on January 7,1998, instead of the true start, January 12, 1998, has cost me a great deal of frustration! I now have to pay a $75 fee to the airline to have my ticket changed to fit the true schedule!! This is $75 that I do not have to burn on such a thing but have no choice! Is it that much to ask that the school could have made an effort to post the misprint in the uni­ versity paper or to go about notifying students of this mistake in another manner? I guess it was, because I saw no effort made!! I tried to call and voice my opinion but no office would take credit for having been responsible for this planner's information! I guess that goes to show you how much this univer­ sity cares about student relations!!

This is our 19th annual publication. The 350-page guide covers internships of­ fered by daily and weekly newspapers, magazines, book publishers, and broadcast stations and net­ works. More than 1,900 companies offer in excess of 10,000 internships to college students. Each listing provides name and address of company or organization offering internships, the I happened to be exploring the Internet one afternoon and I came across a letter to the editor written by one Denver Hill. Denver seemed to be disturbed by the fact that a Christian would express their views of forgiveness for other people's misguided behavior. Poor Denver!!!

Jonathan Hayes Class of 1993 Clemmons, NC Prof kicks it P.C. To the Editor: "Watch out, there is a Psy­ chologist behind us!" one of my colleagues said to another as we walked into the general faculty meeting. "Oh, I'm sure he would agree with me. Dr. Clark, isn't 'nutty as a fruitcake' an acceptable clinical diagnosis?" "No," I countered. "It is a very politically incorrect state­ ment!" All the faculty within hearing range looked unsettled at my outburst, but they quickly turned and hurried into the meet­ ing. Thus, I never was able to con­ tinue the discussion so I would like to do it now. Today, we know that people who evidence unusual thoughts and behaviors have neu­ rological brain disorders (hereaf­ ter called NBD's). We know this, because with our new brain imag­ ing, we can see the damage in the brain. Also, with chemical and other interventions, we know we can slow, and at times, even alter the damage. We also know now that a NBD could be genetic. It could have been caused by a ter­ atogen attacking the fetus, or even a virus. Thus it is exceptionally cruel to ridicule people with NBD's. The American Thesaurus of Slang lists 163 synonyms for "crazy". Some people seem to know them all and to use them all to demean those with NBD's. These same people probably also know the over 200 synonyms for "stupid", but they would never be so base as to use them to ridicule someone with the NBD of Alzheimers. Nor, would they use the synonyms for "clumsy" to hu­ miliate someone with the NBD of Cerebral Palsy. Using the degrading words for people who have NBD's is not only insensitive and mean behavior, but more seriously, it also creates a hostile environment that makes it difficult and sometimes impossible for the sufferer to seek the proper help. NBD's can now be diag­ nosed early and with proper treat­ ment, the damage to the brain can be ameliorated. Left untreated, the damage becomes irreversible. Un­ fortunately, the stigma attached to their illness, makes people with NBD's, delay seeking treatment until it is late in the illness. Because the full-blown symptoms often do not become problematic for the person until adulthood, early in­ tervention rarely occurs. Studies reveal that on average, a person with a NBD, such as one of the Schizoid disorders or one of the Mood disorders, will not seek help until after one year of florid symp­ toms! By contrast, break your leg and you are in the doctors office in 20 minutes. When we use stigmatiz­ ing epithets, we create the climate which not only make it difficult to seek help, but to continue with that help. Because most of the NBD's do not manifest themselves in problematical ways until early adulthood, it is especially impor­ tant that here in the University, we become aware of our language. We have learned not to create hostile environments for blacks. We would not be caught dead us­ ing the N word. Nor, do we create hostile environments for females. We could lose our jobs for using the B word. So, let's give some thought the next time you want to call some one "a looney toon", or say, "his elevator doesn't go all the way to the top", or any of the other 163 disparaging epithets we have at our disposal for ridicul­ ing those suffering with NBD's.

It seems that some people have a hard time with those (Christians in particular) who will stand up and say "I for­ give you for your actions." Believe me, this is an extremely hard act to commit. God does hate the sin and not the sinner, Denver. It's called forgiveness and compassion to­ ward your fellow man. This is not popular and is sometimes impos­ sible for people to understand, but as Christians, we try to live by. I'm sure, Denver, that you never did anything wrong growing up, but if you will ask around, I'm sure some of your friends can help you come up with a scenario. Ask them that when they lived with dear ole Mom and Dad and they did some­ thing that they knew would make their parents furious, did Mom and Dad hate them and scorn them for life or did they hate what they did and still forgive their child for their action. I don't believe that parents hate their children, they just hate when they do dumb things, which happens quite often to some.

A new semester, new classes, new goals, new things to do and see. In all the business of trying to adjust to new things, many stu­ dents may not be looking into the future. What about when the semester ends? Will students go home? Will students go to summer school? Work? Some students may even be looking to land their first job as college graduates. For many Appalachian State Uni­ versity students, a summer internship is what lies ahead. But for those students who have not yet applied, now is crunch time for meeting internship deadlines. Although many internship posi­ tions have already been applied for, there is hope yet. With just a little determina­ tion and persistence, you can get that in­ ternship position. Dr. Terry W. Cole, chairperson for the communication department, has a little advice for students seeking intern­ ships for this summer. "They [students] are responsible for finding their own internships. 1 encour­ age them to apply for it like finding a job. Have a resume prepared and make con­ tacts. We just help them get sources," said Cole. Dr. David Ball, director of the ca­ reer development center, said the most important thing about finding an intern­ ship is finding a company that will allow you to grow professionally. "It [internship] could be at a small organization or a Fortune 500 com­ pany. It is wherever you can grow the most professionally," Ball said. Ball said that having an intern­ ship is beneficial to everyone. "It [internship] is the practical application of theory taught in the class­ room, Ball said. "Students who haven't had an internship by graduation are in a considerable disadvantage." Ball said that the best time to do an internship varies with each department on campus. He said that you have to fig­ ure out the department's expectations and when they will allow or recommend stu­ dents to do an internship. "Now is a good time to start look­ ing for internships," said Ball. "Students should really concentrate their efforts in January and February." Ball said that some things em­ ployers are looking for in students seek­ ing internships are good interpersonal skills and good technical skills such as knowing how to operate a computer and different kinds of software. Ball said that the biggest limit on a career is geographi cal preference. "The intern­ ship depends on what the individual wants to do, when they want to do it, and what they want to do. Don't limit yourself geo­ graphically. Keep your options open, and put yourself at a place where you can grow professionally," Ball said. Obtaining an internship does re­ quire a little work and organization. "I think stu­ dents should show initiative in seeking internships, but don't go beyond profes­ sional etiquette," Ball said.

It is these students who are most prepared for their careers and "real life" once they leave ASU. So who are these select stu­ dents, and how can you become one? They are the volunteers. One wonderful opportunity to become a volunteer is the Alternative Spring Break program. This year's program is going to take place in Washington, D.C. Students will depart Saturday, Feb. 28, and return Saturday, March 7. The location couldn't be better for the promotion of volunteer­ ing. Alternative Spring Break, which is set up by the ACT office of Student Programs, aims at enhancing volunteers' awareness of the social and environmen­ tal issues around them. The ACT office is in the process of arranging housing for the volunteers. They aim to get free housing, but prom­ ise the costs will not exceed $15 a night and will be in a safe location. The Alternative Spring Break, therefore, is affordable, fun and a lifechanging experience. Emily Danahey, Student Volun­ teer Coordinator for the ACT office, at­ tended last year's Alternative Spring Break in Atlanta, Ga. Danahey, who worked with AIDS patients, says the best part of the trip was the opportunity to work "hands on" with issues we usually only see on television or in the news. Danahey, who mainly focused on the social issues of the trip, says it was amazing for her to see the great lengths the AIDS patients went to just to lead semi-normal lives. Danahey said, "I learned the strength of the human spirit." The environmental aspect of the program, explained Danahey, was an ex­ perimental housing district on the At­ lanta trip. The project mixed public housing with non-public housing. ASU students were able to see the great results of this project and be a part of the process. Danahey"s career choice in soci­ ology was affected tremendously by her volunteer work on the Alternative Spring Break trip. Danahey also commented on the deep-rooted friendships that students de­ veloped on her trip. "We still keep in touch," she says. Since the Alternative Spring Break is going to be in Washington, D.C. this year, students will have the oppor­ tunity for wonderful sightseeing on their days off.' The trip is affordable, as well. The Smithsonian museums in Washing­ ton, D.C. are free for admission and many other attractions are free, as well. Danahey even took advantage of the location of the trip by writing Presi­ dent Bill Clinton and Vice-President A1 Gore. "I've asked them to volunteer with us for a day," says Danahey. "We're still waiting for a response," she said, see Spring page 11 �The Appalachian 15 Janu£ a»yi9 98 Page 10 The Student Media Board Seeks Qualified Applicants for the Positions of: HI 11 Editor-in-Chief The Appalachian ' : ' < m I It I • V • §§ ill, '3?I Business Manager The Appalachian h* Station Manager WASU FM ' I for the 1998 - 1999 Academic Year The Deadline for applications is 5:00 pm Friday, February 20,1998. i I I ; jjlU i, : 11 Applications for the Appalachian are available in the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership, 2nd floor, Plemmons Student Union, 262-6252.

As for his own personal feelings on this weekend's contest, Peterson is excited about going back to the school where he won a national championship in 1982 while playing under his mentor, Dean Smith, and rooming with his friend and teammate Michael Jordan, but is more ex­ cited for his players, who will have the chance to tell people years from now that they took on the number one team in the nation. "We've got nothing to lose in this game. Our kids are just go­ ing to play hard and give it all they've got," Peterson said. The Mountaineers will need to give it all they've got and hope for a little luck just to keep up with the 18-0 Tar Heels. Caro­ lina has had just five home games so far this season, and they will probably be anxious to put on a good show for their fans. "We've all got our minds and eyes on the conference games more so than the Carolina game because our goal is to win this division," jciting news. Coach Buzz ,eterson reached an igreeement with the Tar 1eels when he made this — eason's schedule that, in xchange for two games in ;hapel Hill, ASU will play ame with Carolina right here in Boone, the 1999-2000 season, Carolina will play in the inaugural game against the Mountaineers in the yet-to-be-completed ipalachian Convocation Center. That's assuming the ACC is finshed by then. If not, the game would ibably be pushed back a year. Still, Mountaineer fans should think about getting in line now, because tickets for the game will definitely be scarce. As for this year's contest, Peterson f ASU Coach Buzz Peterson regime. Appalachian is currently alone atop the conference standings with a 4-0 record that includes wins over East Ten­ nessee State, UNC-Greensboro, Virginia Military Institute and Chattanooga, all of whom trail the Apps in the North Divi­ sion. After the game at Chapel Hill, the Mountaineers will have three conference home games in a row before their show­ down in Davidson with the Wildcats on Jan. 27. "We've all got our minds and eyes • SETTING: Saturday, Jan. 17th, at the Dean Smith Center in Chapel Hill. To be televised at 4 p.m. on WBTV in Charlotte, and WXII in Winston-Salem. • SERIES HISTORY: The Apps and the Tar Heels haven't faced one another since FDR was in office. In that game, which took place during the 1939-40 season, Carolina beat Head Coach Flucie Stewarts' Mountaineers 58-49. • THE HEELS: Even without the leadership of college basketball's winningest coach, the Tar Heels have made short work of virtually all of their opponents this season. With recent victories over ACC rivals Georgia Tech and Virginia, the Heels haven't lost a game since...well, they haven't lost at all this season. At 18-0, Bill Guthridge and his squad currently hold the top spot in both of the college basketball polls. Led by Juniors Antwan Jamison (21.5 PPG., 9.3 RPG) and Vince Carter (16.1 PPG., 4.8 RPG.), Carolina boasts a particulary strong inside game. Few teams have even provided UNC with stiff competition this season, as their average victory margin stands at about 12 points per game. • US ACC: Appalachian hasn't won a game against an ACC opponent since 1981, when the Apps shcoked the Duke Blue Devils 75-71 in Durham.

Appalachian fell behind early in the game, failing to score in the first 5:32 of the game. Fi­ nally with 14:27 left on the clock, Marshall Phillips ended the drought with a lay-up. However the damage had already been done by Niagara, who had worked their way up to a 12-2 lead by that point. Niagara's lead steadily grew to 27 points at half with the score being 46-19. The second half for the Mountaineers was a complete re­ versal of the first as they outscored Niagara 55-41, shrinking a lead that was once 28 points to six points with 52 seconds left in the game. Livingston led the way for ASU with 14 points and six re­ bounds to help the team to their first conference victory with a 6157 win over East Tennesee State. Marshall Philips added 11 points and grabbed nine rebounds and Tige Darner scored 12 points. Dec. 31, against TenneseeMartin, Adams poured in 18 points with the help of six three-pointers Tige Darner added eight points and pulled down 11 rebounds. Smothering defense spelled defeat for Tennesee State as they fell to the Mountaineers in Varsity Gym Dec. 21. Darner led the way with 21 points and eight rebounds and Phillips addedl2. The Mountaineers fell two points short of completing a come­ back from a 14-point defecit at the hands of Montana State. Phillips, who sparked the comeback, fin­ ished the game with 17 points and eight rebounds. Appalachian dropped only two games during the stretch and used the games as a spring­ board to up its record to 10-4. UN( jreensooro ''ounament Ladies from page 14 performance wasn't enough and the Lady Spiders shredded the Mountaineer defense. They con­ nected on 62 percent of their field goals en route to a 94-68 victory. Appalachian was able to do a much better job handling the ball, only committing 21 turn­ overs. Tiffany Chappell came off the bench to score 13 points and grabbed eight boards. Schoolfield recorded yet another double digit performance with 12 points. Senior Rachel Olander connected on three of eight from behind the arc, scoring 11 points. After the students went home for winter break, Appala­ chian hosted the Campbell Cam­ els Dec. 18. The Camels were able to hit the free throws down the stretch and pull out a 66-59 win at Varsity Gym. The Mountaineers were led by Lettsome who had a ca­ reer high, scoring 16 points and 12 rebounds as she recorded her first career double-double. Schoolfield added 13 points and five boards. The Mountaineers were without two starters, Tiffany Chappell (heel spurs) and Laura Edwards (stress fracture). The biggest loss on the, night came when a third starter,, Jamie Gagliano committed her, fifth foul with 7:10 remaining in the game. Appalachian fell behind by 10 after her disqualification, but they didn't give up. The Mountaineers reeled off nine consecutive points to cut the margin to one with just 57 sec­ onds remaining. "I was pleased , they rallied to one. We just couldn't finish it off," said, Breedlove. The Camels had five players in double digits.

Renovation process inches toward Welborn Leslie Hitchcock Staff Writer Chick-Fil-A gave Appalachian State University students further incentive to visit Welborn Hall. Now, tentative plans for renovation may result in a new look to draw even more students to the cen­ trally-located cafeteria. Following the receipt of 22 archi­ tectural submittals, the university's com­ mittee for the renovation of Welborn Hall will soon choose a firm to start the pro­ cess, said Vice Chancellor of Business Af­ fairs Jane Helm. Plans are tentative. "Right now we are still in the preliminary stages with the architects," said Helm. "When the archi­ tectural firm is chosen, we will work on a specific schedule." The role of the university commit­ tee will be extensive. The committee will work closely with architects once a firm has been se­ lected, Helm said. Helm anticipates a diverse commit­ tee, composed of students, faculty and staff. Helm anticipates representatives from the student body, the physical plant, the department of design and construc­ tion and Food Services to be seated on the committee. With the exception of the Chancellor's dining room, the entire hall will be renovated, said Helm. Major renovation efforts will be emphasized in the upper level of Welborn Hall, said Director of Food Services Ron Dubberly. Dubberly said the upper level, along with the infrastructure of the entire build­ ing, has not been renovated since 1965. Renovation of the infrastructure will extend to the lower level, said Dubberly. In addition, renovations will meet present day fire codes by converging the two present alarm systems into one. The upper level of Welborn Hall currently houses Chick-Fil-A, as well as standard Welborn fare. Proposed renovations will target the upper level first (photo by Marvin Evans) �The Appalachian 9 n .

The opinions expressed in The Appalachian are those of individual columnists and not necessarily "Anger is a gift: -Zach De La Roc ha America, America, God turn his face from th4 John Starling Opinion Editor Do you know what your country stands for? Do you care? If apathy is not a regular part of your intellectual diet, pay attention: there are some things you might need to know. Are you aware that your country, supposedly the most democratic in the world, supports the na­ tion of Israel, a country based on the undemocratic herding of Palestinians out of their homeland? The majority of the news media report on Israel only when Palestinians react to some injustice perpetrated against them. The nation of Israel is guilty of innu­ merable crimes against humanity, and we stay blind to that fact. We'd rather watch the O.J. trial than hear about this. The most disturbing fact is that we do noth­ ing to dissuade the Israeli government from continu­ ing their human rights violations. While we ally our­ selves with Israel against the Islamic nations of the Middle East, it defies natural law more than any of these. A discussion on ignorance would not be com­ plete without a comment on the treatment of Native Americans. While this country has seen lit io give freedoms to those oppressed people who recognize its sovereignty, the only true Americans have been denied their homelands for the sake of European conquest. Although we give great lip service to these people, we fail to recognize their sovereignty as a people and a nation of individuals. Their population has been demolished by the advancement of the white man. They are segregated on insignificant reserva­ tions. I was certain that the Supreme Court declared segregation illegal, because it was not equal. Why kid ourselves? This land is truly the land of the Native Americans. And while it would be nice to say we can give it back and move away, we can t. I„,S why not allow Indians the opportunity to live their livM the way their ancestors intended lives the way ancestors and where they intended, without any interference from the U.S. government? It can be done. Another ridiculous part of our country is in the Constitution: the right to bear arms. There should be no guns in this country, regardless of what a 200-year-old piece of paper says. Just being in the Constitution does not make something right. This is the same Constitution that forbade alcohol for sev­ eral years.

Were there no guns to begin with, guns wouldn't be needed to fight guns. There should be no ex­ ception to this policy. No guns for police, no guns for hunters, no guns for the military. Better yet, no military. We should be a neutral, paci­ fist state, setting an example for the rest of the world, isolationism is the future of international conflict, I hope. Drugs should be made legal. If we allow tobacco and alcohol to be legal, why not other drugs? Besides, if they were legal, they could be regulated and less dangerous than they are now. Recreational use could be a legal possibility. There would be fewer people in prison for helping their friends get a fix. There would be fewer people in prison for getting a fix.

You need not see the film itself; just pick up any na­ tional magazine or flip on the television, and you'll be faced with an onslaught of ads from desperate promoters of the newest Bond film, "Tomorrow Never Dies." Sadly, this film goes beyond the traditional at­ tempts of filmmakers to lure audiences to overpriced theatres; this marketing campaign goes straight for the heart (and wallet), bringing new technologies and old favorites into the limelight with a seal of approval from 007 himself. The newest installment of the James Bond series may claim that tomorrow never dies, but the media blitz surrounding the film suggests that the film industry itself passed away long ago. Ads in magazines and on television focus not on the story or cast of the 18th Bond film, but rather on the com­ mercial sponsors of the flick—a practice that seri­ are outrageous, but still I go, entranced bytM t! ously hinders any desire I have to see this movie. magical silver screen.

Among my responsibilias a student and employee at university, I am also an instrucJ*1 a) assistant for The Fifties and peat Generation course taught 0f Watauga College. I have r engaged in scholarly research Beat Generation for nearly o years and am consistently discted with the general knowledge V*£ understanding of these writ^nd artists. Mr. Streed, you are exception. vo Mr, Streed makes two iiits that I will address. The first i s total misunderstanding of the ,0r J< and purposes of the moveA eitit, and the second is his ado-coherent commentary on resurgence of its popularity. Do not confuse beat with beatnik. Were Jack Kerouac alive cod ay. he would bash you over the with his bottle of -j-pj^inderbird and stuff his type­ writer into your eye. The members 0f the Beat Generation consisted of, argufy, less than 50 people. It was a literary and artistic movement. "Beatnik" is a word coined to describe the North Beach, San Francisco coffee house crowd that developed quite awhile after Jack Kerouac's On The Road was pub­ lished in 1957. Having scrapped the first version, he sat down in late April of 1951 and wrote for three weeks. He typed so fast and, not wanting to break the sponta­ neous flow of creative energy and prose, used a single roll of teletype paper--one paragraph. J ' » In the six years he spent trying to find a publisher unafraid of publishing a book with such a radical style and frank depictions of sex, drug use and everyday life, he wrote seven more books. With his method of "spontaneous prose," he sought to do with writ­ ing what bebop musicians had done with jazz ~ capture the mo­ mentary existential energy of life and creation. Allen Ginsberg is arguably the most important American poet of this century. He published his epic poem Howl in 1956. His rant at see­ ing "the best minds of (his) generation de­ by stroyed (the) mad­ ness" of an in­ creasingly con­ formist society, missile con­ sciousness, and Cold War mentality, liv­ ing under the very real hor­ ror of nuclear annihilation (the terror of which, no one of this generation can really understand) was a slap at the hypocrisy of American soci­ ety. It showed in almost Biblically-styled poetry the reality of urban, lower-class society that the suburban middle class wanted simply to ignore. So much so that it was put on trial for obscenity. With its declaration as a socially redemptive work of art, the bound­ aries of what was and was not po­ etry were blown open, and post­ modernism cast its red eye onto the literary world. He did not write for the academians and critics, but for those who sought an answer to the frustrating, constricting grip popular society and mass culture had on their lives. Speaking of post-modernism, it was William S. Burroughs' novel, Naked Lunch, that showed the world that the reality we experience and under­ stand is not in the physical world, but in the mind. He spent more than 15 years addicted to heroin and morphine and emerged with one of the sharpest intellects the world has ever known. If there was a traditional element or character­ istic held by anyone anywhere as to what a novel should be, Burroughs challenged it. These three and the doz­ ens of others like Gregory Corso, Leroi Jones, Herbert Huncke, Gary Snyder and of course, the irre- artist. He or she did not live in abject poverty because they were lazy or because it was cool. He or she did so because "there's noth­ ing nobler than to put up with a few inconveniences like snakes and dust for the sake of absolute freedom," as Kerouac said of the vanishing American hobo. "Beatniks" were a fad. They wore black turtlenecks and sandals and played bongos be­ cause the article in Look magazine said to be hip, that's what one had to do. Corso (the greatest poet alive today, I'll say) was a Beat. Maynard G. Krebs was a beatnik. "Equality among races and open acceptance, practice and respect of homosexuals were common to (Beats) years before the terms Afri­ can-American and Gay Pride existed." pressible Neal "Speed Limit" Cassady changed the face of American culture, opening it to new ways of thinking about life, art, and spirituality. There is not a part of today's popular culture on which one cannot see their impact. Equality among races and open acceptance, practice and re­ spect of homosexuals were com­ mon to this group years before the terms African-American and Gay Pride existed. This movement was about art and life. The success of On The Road and the obscenity trials of both Howl and Naked Lunch brought media attention and the national spotlight. As with any movement, there are wannabes and hangers-on. As to­ day we have the Gap-clad "alterna-teen," the late 1950s and early 1960s had the beatnik. The Beat was a writer, a poet and an How is it pos­ sible to call the movement a failure? The Beats kicked America in the testicles and opened its eyes to what was re­ ally going on. They are the beginning of contemporary counterculture. It was the mind-opening adven­ tures of Kerouac and Neal Cassady that inspired writer Ken Kesey to create a band of Merry Pranksters, renovate an old school bus in day-glo colors, and drive across the U.S. in an attempt to "wake up America." In turn, it was Kesey and Cassady who brought about the existence of the Grateful Dead. It was the popularization of the Pranksters that led to the Hippie movement. It was the honest re­ portage of experiential reality that led to the New Journalists like Tom Wolfe and Hunter S. Thompson (where indeed would the world be without our beloved Duke?). Ray Manzarek of The Doors said, "If Jack Kerouac had never written 'On the Road,' there would be no Doors." Bob Dylan said, "On The Road changed my life like it changed everyone else's." Steely Dan took their name from the vi­ brator in Naked Lunch. Ginsberg and Burroughs personally influ­ enced Patti Smith, Lou Reed and Pink Floyd. Jim Carroll, The Clash, The Beastie Boys, Laurie Ander­ son, 10,000 Maniacs, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tom Waits, Kurt Cobain, David Bowie and Henry Rollins all cite various Beat writ­ ers as influential in their develop­ ment as people and artists. It is these people to whom we owe the shaping of our society and culture for the last 35 years. As to the resurgence in popularity of the Beats as icons, I subscribe that to the nostalgia that characterizes this decade. This decade has produced nothing of broad cultural impact that one can call unique. We suffer from millennial anxiety, and we look back to find some stability. It is not limited to the Beats. The second most popular movie in the coun­ try is a remake of a Jerry Lewis film. We have a plethora of films remaking television shows and cheesy old comedies. VH-1 dedi­ cates half its air-time to music ffom the 1970s and 1980s. Nickelodeon has an entire network dedicated to old TV shows and commercials. We look back because we have nothing to look at and little to look forward to. The Beat "lifestyle," as you call it (survival is what they called it), was a product of its time, but the ideas behind it are as valuable today as they were 50 years ago. "Love your life and live loving ev­ ery minute of it," as Ted Joans said. "See the truth." Educate yourself, I say. When you know enough to distinguish a literary movement from a popular cultural trend en­ gineered by the media, then you can dislike the Beats all you want. Until that time, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and consider you ignorant. But if I see you, I will kick you in the leg.

Where's the comparison? Each year, the Academy Awards show is filled with un­ known independent films. I watch the show each year with disap­ pointment that I have not heard of any of the nominees for Best Picture, but then I think about it: would a film endorsed by a cos­ metics company be worthy of an Oscar? Does that say anything about the overall worth of the film itself? Perhaps the advertising campaign depends on the film genre; after all, it's difficult to com­ pare James Bond to "The English Patient." But maybe the huge blockbusters are overlooked be­ cause they are made not out of cre­ ativity, but out of plans for huge stars, huge special effects, huge promotions and huge profits. These are fun ways to pass the time in the summer, but do little in the way of using the art of film cre­ atively and effectively. The profit from my $7 movie ticket should be enough to keep filmmakers happy. Why should they sell themselves out in the name of subliminal advertis­ ing? Maybe it's all a big plan— maybe you need to be totally drunk on Smirnoff to really think "Tomorrow Never Dies" is a film worth seeing. Got a gripe?

Displaying his comical nature, Phillips went around the ref­ eree, after the had two b e e n s e p a rated, to give a shocked Laster a h u g and pat on the butt. T h e numbers back up Phillips' aggressive nature. Through six games he led the team in rebounds with 42, and free throw attempts with 40, proving that he's not afraid to take the ball underneath and get pounded on. In fact, vyith Phillips in the lineup, the Moun­ taineers have yet to be outrebounded as a team this year, a problem they had quite J regularly last year. *'• ' Phillips is also averaging just under 12 points a game, a good average on a team where there are plenty of big-time scor­ ers, and guys like Livingston, Crosston and Josh Grover that can play inside. "I'd rather get my whole team in­ volved so we can win together," Phillips said of his generous attitude when it comes to putting points on the board. Phillips also encourages Appala­ chian students to come out and be wild at the games, something that the ASU faithful have done better than ever this year. "Don't wait to get on the band­ wagon at the end," says Phillips to the stu­ dents who haven't been to a game yet. "Just come out and give us a chance... if you don't enjoy it you don't have to come again." As for his own goals, for this season and in life, Phillips said that "my goal is to be the best at whatever I do and succeed, whether it's kickball or throwing airplanes or anything. I want to be the best at what I do, that's my dream." Hopefully Phillips will realize that dream with the Mountaineers.

After a jumper by Cathy Franks, Wofford led 54-50 with just 3:35 remaining in the game. After the Mountaineers' Eva Hegerova connected on a free throw, Tiffany Chappell hit a shot in the lane to cut the margin to one point with 2:49 to play. The teams then traded a couple baskets.

J\ge Darner leads the way with 26 points and five rebounds Justin Griffin Sports Editor In Appalachian State's 77- 63 victory over Winthrop Saturday night, two Mountaineers who hadn't done much so far this sea­ son decided to shine. Those two players were Tige Darner and Blair Adderley. 'The shots felt pretty good tonight," said Darner who finished with 26 points and five rebounds. Adderley, who had 19 points and we steals said, "I'd been strug­ gling. The coaches had confidence in me and told me to keep shoot­ ing, as long as I was taking good >hots, they don't mind." Winthrop was determined ^ to cash in on ASU's outside shoot­ ing troubles by playing a 2-3 zone on defense early in the game. "It was almost like they wanted us to shoot the three," said Darner, who finished 3-9 from behind the arc. A major problem for the Mountaineers coming into the game was the lame-duck atmo­ sphere at Winthrop. Just 552 fans showed up for the intra-conference contest. "I told them not to play down to the atmosphere," Coach Buzz Peterson said. The Mountaineers claimed the victory in the second half with a 19-7 run that started with 18 minutes left on the clock and ended at the 11:49 mark. "It might not have been a pretty win," Darner said, "But it was a win." The first half was largely a see-saw battle between the two teams with tie scores on the board on seven different occasions. ASU ended the half with a five-point lead off the strength of five straight points from Damer. Marshall Phillips led the Mountaineer in rebounding with nine as ASU outrebounded its op­ ponent for the sixth straight game. With the win, the Moun­ taineers improved to 4-2 on the season. Peterson said he was glad to see Adderley and Darner have good games and that their scoring power was going to be needed this year.

(all photos by ,<r* #*• Sfe • Rockin' around the Christmas tree Amanda Best Sraff Writer I'm a big fan of holiday tunes, and recently I picked up a CD that rocks. It's A Very Special Christmas, Volume 3. If you don't listen to any other song, check out Smashing Pumpkins' "Chrismastime." Billy Corgan does an excellent job, as usual. "Santa Baby" is a rap with a great beat featuring Puff Daddy, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Salt N' Pepa, Onyx and others. No Doubt rocks "Oi to the World." Sheryl Crow has a sultry, sexy "Blue Christmas." Mary J. Blige soulfully rocks to "Christmas in the City." Ever heard a holiday song done in blues fashion? Check out Jonny Lang's "Santa Claus is Back in Town." Tracy Chapman has a "Holy Night" in her signature style. The CD also features Sting, Natalie Merchant, Blues Traveler, Enya, Hootie and The Blowfish, Chris Cornell, Dave Matthews, Steve Winwood, and Patti Smith. Sales of A Very Special Christmas go towards the Special Olympics. Not only is it a wor­ thy cause, it's definitely a worthwhile CD to listen to. It's a star-studded CD that deserves a big fat star for a job well done.

Tammi Ivey Staff Writer For most students at Appalachian State University, the upcoming holiday season conjures emotions from some of the things they hold most dearly: religion, family, and community (not to mention presents, mistletoe, and eggnog). But for a minority of Ap­ palachian students, and an increasingly large number of Americans, the holiday season is a time to remember one's heritage and build up community. The annual Kwanzaa cel­ ebration at Appalcachian was held on Dec. 4 in the student union. Kwanzaa, the African-American spiri­ tual holiday, is usually celebrated Dec. 26-Jan. 1, the actual feast is tradtionally held on Dec. 31. Kwanzaa means "first fruits of harvest" in the African language, Kiswahili. Kwanzaa was created by Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga on Decem­ ber 26,1966. Kwanzaa is a celebration that focuses on the traditional Afri­ can values of family, community re­ sponsibility, and self-improvment. It is based on Nguzi Saba (Purpose), Kuumba (Cre^ Imani (Faith).
