A contest sponsored by Appalachian's Student Ambassadors al­ lowed Frye to switch places with Chan­ cellor Francis T. Borkowski, who acted as a student while Frye took over the B.B. Dougherty Administration Building. Borkowski and Frye switched places at B.B. Dougherty. They posed for pictures, and the chancellor talked to Frye about his duties as chancellor for the day. During his day, Frye attended sev­ eral meetings and an award ceremony, and was treated to lunch by members of the chancellor's staff. "I had a blast," said Frye. "His staff was so kind, and they went out of their way to make me feel welcome." Frye said both he and Borkowski wanted to dress appropriately for their respective positions. Borkowski wanted to look the part of a student. "He was wearing hiking boots, blue jeans, a sweatshirt and a book bag," said Frye. Frye wore a suit and an overcoat for his day as chancellor. As Frye handled administration concerns, Borkowski lived Frye's daily schedule. Activities included shooting pool, doing library research and taking notes in one of Frye's classes, which impressed Frye.

Frye said he owes win­ ning the contest to his frater­ nity brothers of Pi Kappa Al­ pha. His brothers donated canned goods and put them in Frye's name. The chancellor sat with Frye's fraternity brothers dur­ ing lunch the day of the switch. Frye said that Pi Kappa Alpha brothers enjoyed spend­ ing the time with the chancel­ lor and discussing fraternities on campus over lunch. The Chancellor for a Day contest marked an effort by the Appalachian Ambassadors to raise food and money for the Watauga County Hunger Coa­ lition. Contributions were dis­ tributed to those in need dur­ ing Thanksgiving. The ambassadors col­ lected 250 cans of food and $100. Ambassador Charity Greene coordinated the event. Her duties involved scheduling times and being present when the chancellor and student switched roles. Greene was happy with the contest and hopes it will continue. "I hope each year it will be more successful," she said. Brandon Frye receives a briefing from Chancellor Borkowski as they pre­ pare to switch places for the day (photo by Marvin Evans) Five percent fee increase may be necessary Katie Ward Staff Writer An expected increase in student fees was presented by Vice Chancellor of Stu­ dent Development Gregory S. Blimling to the Student Government Association in their last meeting of the semester, Tues­ day. General student fees are an impor­ tant source of income for the University. Therefore, Blimling said, the anticipated five percent increase is necessary to the university. Student fees provide funding for several areas, including educational and technological needs, ifriletics, student ac­ tivities, residence halls and charges related to the liquidation of debt. This increase does not affect ASU's overall value to students, Blimling said. "Appalachian State is very cost effective. Our fees are pretty low compared to other schools in the university system," he said. Appalachian students' total tuition bill, including fees, room and board and book rental, will increase $219. In-state students currendy pay $4,848, but can ex­ pect to pay $5,067 next year. Out-of-state students will also ex­ perience an increase of $219, bumping their tuition bill to $12,195. The state provides $6,000 per fulltime, in-state student. However, no money is provided for out-of-state stu­ dents. Therefore, the $7,128 out of state additive is required to offset the cost of education. Blimling said a $5 increase per stu­ dent can be expected for educational and technological fees. This money is used to fulfill educational needs such as creating and updating teaching and computer labs. Athletics will also receive a $5 in­ crease. According to Blimling, this is due in part to a raise in staff salaries, which are dictated by the state. Although Health Services will not experience an increase, students will still bear the brunt of the deficit. Beginning next fall, students will be required to pay a flat fee for all prescriptions received through the infirmary. The University averages providing 170,000 prescriptions per year. A flat fee will help alleviate some of the expense, according to Blimling. Students will be able to charge prescriptions to their ac­ counts. A rise of $22 can be expected for the overall student activities budget; $18 of the increase will be used by recreational services so that they may break even in their budget. The remaining $4 has been desig­ nated for maintaining the student union. As a result of the new steam plant, the student union is responsible for pur­ chasing steam, which has been reflected in the deficit. Additional money is allotted for maintaining and updating programs pro­ vided by the Student Union.

Though Van De Berg could not be reached for comment, fellow Department of Anthropology member, Teresa Isaacs, said the department seeks donations to assist Van De Berg and his wife with cloth­ ing and shelter. The most pressing need is for shel­ ter. Isaacs said any suggestions for lowrent or temporarily rent-free housing would be greatly appreciated. The Van De Bergs have already re­ ceived several clothing donations, but more are welcome. Clothing may include ladies' size 9-10 pants, small to medium shirts and coats and size 7 shoes; men's size 32-33 pants, large to extra large shirts and jackets and size 9 1/2 or 10 shoes. Warm clothing is especially needed. All donations may be brought to the Department of Anthropology, 408 Sanford Hall, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. This is currently the only donation effort for the Van De Bergs, said Isaacs. �The. Page 2 Student legislators debate national issues Leslie Hitchcock Staff Writer Affirmation of a resolution to legalize marijuana was only one of several topics considered by the North Carolina Student Legislature (NCSL), whose monthly interim council meeting came to Appala­ chian State University, Nov. 22-23. The meeting was sponsored by Appalachian's NCSL delegates. The marijuana proposal was introduced by a NCSL delegate who wished to see a more effec­ tive war on drugs. The delegate advised the de­ criminalization and legalization of marijuana as an alternative to cur­ rent strategies of the drug war. The issue sparked debate that ended in affirmation of the resolution. Appalachian State's NCSL delegates invited Town of Boone Mayor Velma Burnley to speak at the meeting. She addressed NCSL del­ egates with words of inspiration and advice. "Savor every moment," she said. "Prepare yourself for the fu­ ture, because today is all you can be sure of." Burnley also discussed pos­ sible ways to get involved with lo­ cal governments. Service on town boards and internships in political depart­ ments are easy ways to become involved, she said. Following the Mayor's ad­ dress, NCSL delegates divided into the Senate and the House of Rep­ resentatives, where official ap­ pointments to committees were made and rules were discussed. NCSL is a non-profit orga­ nization that provides educational experience for students wishing to get a strong political background, said Governor and Chief Executive Officer Kendle Bryan of Duke Uni­ versity. Modeled after the North Carolina General Assembly, NCSL is embarking on its 61st legislative year. The organization is com­ posed of delegates from 12 North Carolina schools. More information on NCSL appears today in The Appalachian's Campus Life sec­ tion. Fees from page 1 The standard option meal increase in housing costs.

"The book rental policy was never meant to cover every book, rather to prevent students from having to purchase the more ex­ pensive books," he said. Blimling closed by address­ ing the question of growth in stu­ dent population. Although the university at­ tempts to increase by no more than 50 students per year, this figure is not always feasible. "The top administration at this university does not want ASU to grow. However, we have an obligation to increase," Blimling said. Following Blimling's report, Student Body President Fernando Little delivered his State of the University Address to the Student Senate. Entitled "On the Road to Restoration," his address encom­ passed the successes of the SGA. "I am nothing but impressed with the dedication and commit­ ment of the senators," Little said. "If this level of dedication is main­ tained next semester, we will have had a great year." Having completed seven of eight platform goals, Little took some time to reiterate the SGA's accomplishments. He boasted on the success of several programs, including "Breakfast with Borkowski," Mountaineer Maniacs, and Home­ coming. Little also took a moment to discuss "opportunities" or areas of improvement. He hopes that the Senate can continue to represent the students, pass needed legisla­ tion, increase voter turnout and to "foster and cultivate Appalachian State spirit."

How all students love them so. It is that magical time of year when a udent's mind focuses on downloading massive nounts of information to pass exams, exams that ay determine semester grades.

Why would you sit in class ir a whole semester and not understand what is oing on, then take an exam that you will fail? If eople don't understand something, most ask uestions concerning their problem. Exams are supposed to measure a udent's ability to comprehend and to apply the laterial learned. Professors cram it down the iroat of the student in a two hour period, execting the student to bust it out with flying coi­ rs. They may not consider the fact that the same tudent may have one or two more exams that ay. Some students have had up to five exms in three days.

Page 3 During Yusef Komunyakaa's presentation on poetry recently, he was asked about his views on beat poetry. To this he replied, "I'm familiar with the beat poets...they failed." It is a simple feat to dismiss a trend which champions individualism when today's society is characterized by mass conformity. The beat poets did their job. They espoused the virtues of individualism and non-conformity. Using unconventional writing styles, which in itself was a form of disestablishmentarianism, and with­ out guile, they condemned the middle class, revolted against the war in Vietnam, and coined terms such as "flower power." However, there exists more than sufficient support to justifiably dismiss the resurgence of beat poetry as a popular form of literature. During the last few years, our generation has begun to embrace the words and poetry of such writ­ ers as Kerouac, Ginsberg and Burroughs. The recent trendiness of the former beat generation is adequately expressed in the popular jeans commercial where the ice cream man asks the little boy, "Who's Jack Kerouac?" The little boy, astonishingly, answers, "On the Road." Matt Lawrence, freshman "beatnik" at ASU, describes being beat as "a revolt against all social Professors take a stand To the Editor: norms that America tries to impress upon an indi­ sexual promiscuity and negligent drug use, is con­ vidual.

It could be implied from these comments that they believe the quality of their education is poor. Just because you get a bad grade for a class that you spent almost no time studying for doesn't mean it's your professor's fault. Students must first look objec­ tively at how much effort they put into a class before they go blaming the faculty for all of their problems. Grow up and take some responsibility, people. It's called being an adult. I wouldn't trade my education at ASU for another from UNC-Chapel Hill, Wake Forest or any other university. One of the reasons for this is be­ cause of the faculty here at ASU. Our professors are here because they love to teach. If they didn't, then they would be working at UNC-Chapel Hill or Wake Forest where teaching would be such an inconve­ nience to their research that the only people teach­ ing would be grad students. My professors have taught me about more than just being a good scien­ tist; they have taught me valuable lessons about life. Listen a little closer to lecture and maybe you'll un­ derstand what I'm saying. In the Nov. 20 editorial by The Appala­ chian, the column questions the value of student evaluations of professors, then characterizes most of the faculty as uncaring, pompous, self-centered individuals with absolutely no sense of responsi­ bility to their students. My experiences here at ASU as both a current graduate student and former undergraduate prove otherwise. The vast major­ ity of our professors are excellent teachers who have solid a commitment to providing the highest level of instruction. In my six years here, I can only think of one professor who even comes close to the description provided by The Appalachian. As a graduate student, I teach classes and also get evaluated by my students. I read every evaluation that I get because I want to be the best instructor possible. I also believe that as an instructor I can see both sides of this issue. The editorial makes some harsh accusa­ tions that are not supported with any evidence. One comment was that professors do not take the time to read their evaluations. I have been in sev­ Rick Rivera eral classes where I could not take my final exam ASU Box 6507 until I turned in the "bubble sheets and generic questions."

I would even It begins describing how "fashionable" it has be­ come for young people to attack corporations, cit­ ing "Internet rants and MTV videos" as the capital offenders. I have two comments on this first sentence. The first is that the writer, in pre­ senting, this opinion creates the false sense that antagonism to corporations is a new thing. What our columnist either fails to realize, or leaves out to make his point, is that attacking corporations and any person who controls large amounts of capital (be it money, labor, or factories) has been "fashionable" since the poor of nineteenth cen­ tury England moved into soot-covered, rat and disease-infested hovels and began working in the factories of these men and corporations. This also ignores the American socialists and union men and women of the late nineteenth and early twen­ tieth century. This list goes on from all the people blacklisted by McCarthy in the 1950s to the Berkley scene of the 1960s. I know I've left out most of them, but this isn't a book on leftist move­ ments. My point is that anti-corporate sentiment is not new. This first statement also brings to mind the point that MTV is sitting in the middle of corpo­ rate America, and if our Music Television gurus are producing videos that are anti-corporate then chalk this up to a marketing strategy rather than an anti-corporate conspiracy. This means that, while they may be trying to build this market, these sentiments existed before said videos. Our columnist also claims that "corporations have transformed our society from an agrarianbased economy to the productive society of to­ day." First of all this is a lousy sentence. If he had written that the corporation has transformed our economy to a service and manufacturing based economy then this sentence would, by it­ self, hold more validity. For one, the comparison within the sentence holds no proof that we are a productive society nor does it explain what is meant by a productive society. I would argue the ability to produce ball-point pens by the millions does not necessarily mean that your society is pro­ ductive. We could be dumping excess ink into the drinking water, we could be underpaying la­ bor (as I might add it is fashionable to do in the corporate world), we could have unhealthy and unsafe work environments. This is a loaded sen­ tence that does not define what it means by "pro­ ductive." Labeling and name-calling seems immature. By cynically using politically-correct jargon in call­ ing those who disapprove of the net incomes of large corporations as "math-impaired" and "math­ ematically challenged," our columnist is discred­ iting their opinions and beliefs. He is reducing them with these words to the category of igno­ rant or stupid, and therefore we are not to take them seriously or risk being labeled as ignorant and stupid ourselves. I suggest he present his case without the need for yellow journalism. Why, if his argument has any validity by itself, would he need to discredit opposition? There are two points which I do agree with our columnist on, and this is not surprising. I am not adamantly opposed to what he has to say, as much as how he says it and the implications of it.

Thompson and you have among the living Americans a cri­ tique of the United States from all sides with the potential to insult everyone of us. By acknowledging the need for corporations to be watched by the Justice Department, our columnist Bothum recognizes the dangers of which these corporations are ca­ pable. He does not delve into them. They include environmen­ tal offenses (dumping, air pollu­ tion), low pay and no benefits for workers, dangerous products, a nasty tendency to pay Latin Ameri­ cans 50 cents an hour instead of paying their U.S. counterparts even minimum wage. Historically, offenses include the overthrow of Central American governments, as the United Fruit Company (every­ body say bananas) and the Cen­ tral Intelligence Agency did in Guatemala in the early 1950s. They include the use of dangerous and experimental means of birth control, often very harmful to the health of the women involved, in Latin America, Africa, and Asia just so we can get new versions of the pill and buy glow-in-the dark condoms. Again, I don't have the space to list the offenses corpora­ tions have committed throughout the world. Go read them for youself. Our columnist claims that cor­ porations give millions of people jobs, and so they do. Our colum­ nist claims that the enemy of the corporation is an enemy to human­ ity. This sounds a bit like Stalinist Russia here. He discredits anyone who disagrees with him as stupid, and therefore we should not lis­ ten to them. This belief is in op­ position to a democratic society where there should be those who support and those who oppose any one belief. It is this right to dis­ agree with or support corpora­ tions, government, and religion that is beneficial to our society. Our columnist is proposing that it is oppositions to the corporation that is dangerous to humanity. Would he like some KGB-esque teams searching out dissenters and shooting them on the streets of Boone? At the risk of public execu­ tion, I would say (since I am no longer idealistic enough to believe the corporation can be removed any time soon) that it is the un­ regulated corporate power, the laissez faire economic policy, that is the enemy to humanity. ing chased by a chain ing maniac, I Would 'Sav< J ask people what thev^ our accomplishment guys gave a thumbs room, many women feu / h v f h p bathroom. . e l t d t e . by the ^ L. Bryan Thompson lt8771@appstate.edu Dorm of Doom-revisited To the Editor: I would like to disassoci­ ate myself from RSA and from East Dorm as a whole by stating that, Nov. 5, was an eventful day for our dorm. Besides the weekly fire alarm, our RSA meeting was vis­ ited by a group of NOW-Nazis. Fbr those of you who do not know or care the least bit, NOW is an organization of mili­ tant, left-wing, liberal women (mostly gay) whose mission in life is the equality of the sexes. No problem there. Their own national leader is a married woman who has had an affair with her lesbian lover in Washington while the leader's husband stays home in Florida. Now there's a model leader the everyday women can look up to. No wonder their num­ bers are dwindling and the major­ ity of the organization is made up of lesbians. Needless to say, since the early 1980s, NOW has sought to further the gay agenda and pro­ mote abortions on demand. Prob­ lem. It figures that they have been adamantly opposed to the Chris­ tian doctrine which opposes homo­ sexuality (1 Corinthians 6:9) and abortion (Exodus 21:22) Many politicians of the mid-1990s tout America's declin­ ing morality amid the sexual batdescape left by the 1960s gen­ eration despite their abuse toward Dan Quayle earlier this decade. NOW, though, has promoted the desolation of our nation's children by agreeing to infanticide leaving the good old USA an adolescent Odessa Steps. NOW's main concern at East's weekly function was to de­ nounce a particular aspect of our yearly Dorm of Doom. (Thanks for your attendance. The money you helped us raise will go to local charities, one of which is for bat­ tered women.) This aspect was the bathroom sequence of a bulimic woman becoming pregnant, chok­ ing her child to death after its birth, and then hanging herself in despair. The outcome of which I would consider justice, but I, my­ self, felt that this scene was a bit gruesome and in the area of poor taste.

The weather this year was not too cold, and the fire kept everyone warm. Some came to hear the speaker, and some students came to brave the cold all night. "I heard about it last year and thought that it would be fun. I also thought that it would be a great way to bring things into perspective for Thanks­ giving," J. Piacentino, a sophomore ac­ counting major from Greensboro, said when asked why he decided to sleep out on the mall that evening. Although Thanksgiving is usually a time to sit back and relax with family and friends, for some, it is spent instead thinking of where their next meal will come from or where they will be able to lie their head that night. Robert Cox, the director at the Boone Hospitality House, spoke about his experiences being homeless and the dif­ -yawn ferent situations that he has encountered while working at the Hospitality House. v'r»ter 'There are a lot of stereotypes and traces glowed in the firelight, and images of homeless people out there. of pounding drums filled our Most people think that they are dirty, crazy drunks," Cox said. j^earts were touched, and minds "Many people that I deal with that live on and off the streets, however, aren't •*' jt was a time for remembrance, distinguishable from other people.

"We each have our own influences, but we appreciate integrity in a band." Asked to identify themselves with a car­ toon character, the band unanimously agreed, "Danger Mouse!" "My favorite part of the music scene is just hanging out, just going out and being a band. You can't beat being a group," Gaddy says. "We'd do it with­ out the money," says Allen. T h e band feels the worst part of the music scene is getting people motivated to go to shows. "It's hard when people don't show up, " says Allen. "Also when people have heard of you, but haven't actually heard your mu­ sic," adds Gaddy. The band has certainly enjoyed playing for fans.

Their story was not considered a sacred writing and thus did not make it into the Torah. The Hebrew Bible, which consists of the Old Testament, does not have the miraculous story of Judah and the Maccabees. The two accounts appear in a separate book called the Apocrypha, as I Maccabees and II Maccabees. The word Apocrypha means "hidden." The following is the story of Judah and the Maccabees and the origination of Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights. Alexander the Great conquered all the lands between Greece and India over 2,000 years ago. He ruled Judea, the ancient name for Israel, and allowed the Jews there to live free and practice Judaism. When Alexander the Great died, Antiochus III, King of Syria, conquered Judea. He and his son, Antiochus iy were Greek. Antiochus IV wanted to take away the Jews' religious freedom and make them bow down to Greek gods, particularly the main Greek god, Zeus, The Jewish High Priest was Mattathias Hasmon. He would not bow down and neither would the Jews. However, some did, in fear of the Greeks, bow down to the gods. Most Jews, though, proclaimed there is one God in heaven above and earth below, Antiochus, now also King of Judea, said that all Jews must become Greek and bow down to Zeus. Anyone caught obeying Jewish law or praying to God would be killed. But the Jews kept their laws in secret and continued to practice their traditions unbeknownest to the Greek soldiers. One afternoon, two Jewish women were caught obeying Jewish law. They were circumcising their infant sons, The soldiers then proceeded to kill the infants and force the women to parade around the city with the babies around their necks. After everyone had seen the spectacle, the soldiers took the mothers to a rooftop and threw them off, killing them. The Jews were commanded once again to obey Greek laws and bow down to Zeus. The Jews refused. The Greeks destroyed the Jew­ ish Temple located in Jerusalem. This temple was the holy place were the Jews gathered. The Jews took refuge in the hills of Judea and under the leadership of Judah, son of Mattathias Hasmon, trained to be warriors. Antiochus declared war on the Jews. For three years, the Jews lived in the hills, spied on the Greeks and learned their plans. They launched surprise at­ tacks on the Greek soldiers, killing many of them. They even fought on the Sab­ bath and on Succoth, the annual har­ vest festival. The Jews came to be known for their good aim with arrows and slingstones and came to be called Maccabees, which means "hammerers." The Jews never gave up their see History page 6 ASU students look forward to the holiday season by remembering their past Pamela Formyduval Staff Writer A warm glow has filled the sky as the sun has just slipped behind the clouds. Family and friends have gath­ ered at the home. All the children are running around playing games in the living room. The adults walk in, and the children stop. A feeling of reverence fills the air. They know that the time has come to begin the celebration. "Blessed art thou, O Lord, our God, King of the universe, who has sanc­ tified us with thy commandments and bidden us to kindle the Hanukkah lights." A flicker of light fills the room as the shammes is lit. "Blessed art thou, O Lord, our God, King of the universe, who did won­ drous things for our ancestors in times past in this very season. We kindle these lights in honor of thy holy miracles. The lights are sacred. We do not make use of them, but only look upon them in order to give thanks to thy great name. Blessed art thou, O Lord, our God, King of the universe, who has kept us alive and well and allowed us to reach this season." The first candle nows stands, shining its light for all to behold. "Ma-oz Tzur (Rock of Ages) ye-shu a-ti (you are all,) le-ka na-eh le-sha-bei-ak. (there is none supremer.) Ti-kon beit te-fi-la-ti (Fortress, cliff and citadel,) ve-sham to-da ne-za bei-ak.

(when our own strength failed us.) It is the 24th of Kislev and the celebration of Hanukkah has begun. For a minority of Appalachian State Univer­ sity students who are Jewish, scenes such as this are what they have to look forward to with the coming winter break. Dr. Sheldon Hanft, a history pro­ fessor, is the faculty advisor for the Jew­ ish Student Association at Appalachian. "It [Hanukkah] signifies educa­ tion, religious toleration, and individual freedom, which are important values the holiday celebrates for Jews," Hanft said Dr. Hanft is Jewish and said upon his arrival in Boone, there was a very small Jewish community. He be­ gan a local congregation and established a group to fellowship on campus, around the 1970s, for Jewish students. Hanft said that due to having no freedom when their religion was out­ lawed, "Judaism as a religion preaches toleration." The Jewish Student Association cooperates in some activities with the Boone Jewish community. They rent space from the Unitarian church in Boone and meet there on Friday nights. Danielle Bauman, a senior from Hickory, is the president of the Jewish Student Association. Bauman thinks that Hanukkah is important but doesn't feel it should be put on a pedestal. see Past page 6 �Page 6 History from page 5 for the candlelight ceremony. It begins at sunset, the 24th of Kislev, because Jewish days begin at sun­ set. One candle is lit on the first night, two on the second, three on the third, until on the eighth night, all nine are lit. The candles are put into the lampstand from right to left, because that is the direction in which the Hebrew language is written. The candles are lit from left to right, the new­ est candle being lit first. Three blessings are said on the first night. The first bless­ ing is said before the candles are lit and the last two while lighting the candles. The third blessing is eliminated on the other seven nights. Festive songs are sung, such as "Mi Yimalel" ("Speaking of Wonders"), "Hanukkah Oi Hanukkah" and "Maoz Tzur" ("Rock of Ages"). "Rock of Ages" is usually sung after the candles have been lit because it is the most popular song. Like Christmas, which Christians celebrate, Jews also give one another gifts during Hanuk­ kah. Usually, small gifts are given each night of Hanukkah to family members, with a big gift being given on the last night. The menorah is not only the symbol of the Jewish faith, but more importantly, is a reminder of the great menorah that stood in the Temple courtyard those many years ago. "I don't consider it [Ha­ nukkah] the holy type holiday. It is more of a time to get together with family and friends," Bauman said. Bauman doesn't always get to be with her family and friends during Hanukkah to cel­ ebrate, due to exams. Instead, she celebrates with the Jewish commu­ nity in Boone. The Jewish Student Asso­ ciation has an annual party for Hanukkah in which they tell the story of Hanukkah, partake in tra­ ditional foods, and sing traditional songs. One such traditional food came from Europe. A latke is a kind of potato pancake with applesauce and sour cream. An­ other popular traditional food in Israel is a kind of jelly doughnut. Bauman said that it is just a time to get together, relax, hang out and have food. The party should take place Tuesday night in the faculty lounge of Whitner Hall. at the Alternative Pub in Asheville and also being asked to play "Happy Birthday" and not knowing how.

Coming into the game, UNCCharlotte was ranked #25 in the Asso­ ciated Press poll and #23 in the ESPN/ USA Today Coaches' poll. Leading tjpe way for the Moun­ taineers was point guard Tyson Patterson who topped all scorers with 23 points. "I just took whatever they were giving me," Patterson said. Kareem Livingston also chipped in 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Defeating UNC-Charlotte wasn't an easy feat for the Mountaineers, "We had to play as hard as we could," Patterson said. Appalachian took a 31-22 lead into the lockerroom at halftime. "Coach said that no one would remember the first half if we didn't win," said Marshall Phillips, who finished with six points and two steals. Outside of the scoring from Livingston and Patterson, the game was won through key baskets that came from just about every Mountaineer. UNC-Charlotte was led by fu­ ture NBA lottery pick Demarco Johnson, with 15 points and eight r e b o u n d s . Standout guard Sean Colson also added 14 points in his first outing of the year.

A troubled state of It seems as the NFL playoffs grow closer, the games become more and more interesting. And since we are in North Carolina, we get screwed over. How are fans getting cheated in North Carolina? Simple. We get a Carolina Panthers game every week and we get nothing else with it. There is a rule somewhere that since we're all rabid Panther fans that we don't care about anything but the Carolina game that is on that day. Fox blocks out all the other games that the other affiliates are get­ ting. Instead of watching Tampa Bay defeat New York this weekend, I got the chance to watch Carolina lose to New Orleans. Oh joy. Nevermind the beating that Kansas City was putting to the 11-1 San Francisco 49ers at Arrowhead during the same time period. Fox really messed up. NBC tries to do their best, but they cover an inferior league. The only team in the Almost Football Con­ ference (AFC) that has a chance of winning anything is Jacksonville. Last weekend, Dallas and Green Bay slugged it out at Lambeau Field. People in the Tar Heel State missed that game. The reason why? Carolina was playing St. Louis. Somehow, the excitement of a thrilling Carolina 16-10 victory over The Rams didn't compare with a game between Green Bay and Dallas. Of course, the game was a 45-17 blow­ out, but no one should be denied the chance to watch the Cowboys take a tough loss. Not to worry though, Dal­ las offered an enjoyable repeat perfor­ mance on Thanksgiving. The whole situation has left me with a definite hatred for the Pan­ thers. Every time I miss a better game for the mediocrity known as the Pan­ thers, I cheer for the opposing team. Yes, I was rooting for the Saints. And they won. How much longer will we be punished for having an NFL team in the Carolinas? How much longer are we going to miss blockbuster games in order to watch the Panthers play the league's cellar dwellers? And the champion is?? College football is a mess. It really doesn't make any sense * ^y Notre Dame will more than likely go to a bowl game. The Fighting Irish have had one of the worst seasons in their history. Apart from an incred­ ible victory at LSU, Notre Dame has only managed to beat less than mar­ ginal teams and barely picked up the necessary sixth win to be in a bowl, by narrowly defeating Hawaii, 25-22. Is there ever a true national champion? This year, going into the bowls there are two undefeated teams that will likely stay undefeated if they are pitted against the right teams. Nebraska has managed to pick up 11 wins this year, but repre­ sents anything but dominance. Colo­ rado almost pulled off the upset this weekend, and weeks earlier, Missouri would have defeated the Cornhuskers, if not for a last minute miracle. Michigan is the other team with a perfect record. Michigan will play a less than equal Washington State en route to a share of the Na­ tional Championship. Is Nebraska the better of the two? What about Michigan? Does anyone really know? I don't. Will anyone know? Unless the NCAA comes up with a better system of deciding the best team, no one will. �The Appalachian 4 nL; Page 8 App grapplers get ready for the upcoming season David Jackson Staff Writer "We have what it takes to be a pretty good team this year," Appalachian State's Paul Mance said of his Mountaineer wrestling squad as they entered the 1997-98 campaign.

In fact, only one team from the Southern Conference, Georgia Southern, got into the playoffs, giving the league its lowest repre­ sentation in the post-season in years. For 13 seniors on the team, including Baker, this game marked the last time they were able to suit up and take the field 4s Mountaineers. Baker said of his and the rest of the offense's per­ formance that "it just seems we were shooting ourselves in our own feet." Baker went on to say that "hopefully we can take the positive from this and move on." Head Coach Jerry Moore, who for the second straight sea­ son, had to watch his team just miss the playoffs despite having a talented group of seniors and beat­ ing two squads that did make the field, said that "I would have never thought after playing 11 ball games that we would have made all the mistakes we did today." Moore also said that he was "proud of these seniors, in their four years here, they've won 35 games." Besides Baker, the Moun­ taineers will be without the services of Jackie Avery, Steve Carson, Jon Duncan, Kendrick Hall, Gerard Hardy, Carlos Horton, Earl Hunter, Brian Jean-Mary, Jeff Marr, Adam Neiheisel and Chad Thompson next season. All have used up their four years of eligibility. As for next year, the opener on Sept. 5 is just a little more than nine months away.

The process for selecting recipients will be as follows: • A seven-person committee appointed by the Chancellor will solicit and review nominations and recommend recipients of the W.H. Plemmons Leadership Medallion to the Chancellor, who will submit the recom­ mendations to the Board of Trustees for their review and approval. • The committee will screen the nominations and seek relevant support­ ing information concerning nominees chosen for further consideration. • This process will take place anually and leadership medallions will be awarded during the Fall Semester Convocation. It is understood that the medallion is intended to recognize meritorious leadership and may not be awarded each year. • Nomination forms may be obtained in the Office of Student Develop­ ment, B.B. Dougerty Administration Building, or from the Student Life Section of the Appalachian Homepage. • Nominations for this award will be accepted until December 19, 1997.

Streets are being repaved one area at a time in order to accommo­ date the flow of traffic, without stop­ ping traffic completely Helm said. Affected streets include those running beside Whitener Hall and the street that cuts between Cone and White Residence Halls. Although patching the streets in sections is time consuming, according to Helm this is a more effective method. "We cannot afford to just shut down the streets totally," Helm said. "This method allows traffic to flow (more easily)."

To ease students' minds, Helm as­ sured that there have not been any problems with safety. She feels that students cannot drive fast enough to cause safety to be an issue. The projects are expected to see their completion by the close of the aca­ demic year. The weather is an important fac­ tor in completion. Although students can expect renovations of this type in the future, they will not be as exten­ sive, Helm said. Future renovations include the widening of Hardin St., to begin within the coming weeks. Although the first phase of reno­ vation will only encompass around 600 feet, the remainder of Hardin St. will see its share of construction workers in the future. Students and faculty alike are ex­ periencing inconveniences from the project. Helm said she is included in that group. "I know this is an inconvenience for me. I usually drive between the dorms to get home, and I cannot do that any­ more," Helm said. Students have also expressed con­ cern, said D.J. Scott, a junior from Morganton. "This is a real problem to those who ride the bus and to those living in the dorms. However, it needs to be done because the roads are in bad condi­ tion," said Scott.

Juniors Jennifer Whetstone and Catherine Cope and graduate student Nestor Lapez participated in a national peaceful vigil in memory of Latin Ameri­ cans killed at the hands of graduates of the School of Americas. A military training school located within the base of Fort Benning, the School of Americas trains Latin American soldiers to return to their home countries to kill unjustly, said Whetstone. The school's initial purpose was to defend Latin American countries against communism. After the Cold War ended and the threat of communism died, the school was used to promote democracy. Lapez and Whetstone said that Latin American countries with the worst human rights violation records are the countries that have sent their soldiers to the sschool. Various Latin American dic­ tators have graduated from the school, in­ cluding former Panamanian President Manuel Noriega. Defenders of the School of Ameri­ cas say that the school is teaching Latin American soldiers to spread democracy through the Latin American countries. However, Lapez said, "If the school is try­ ing to preserve democracy, then they are failing to do so." The vigil was part of an effort from Amnesty International to close the school. Whetstone said that only 500 people were expected to attend, but that the crowd ex­ panded to over 2,000 demonstrators. The school was presented with a petition of over a million signatures from Americans requesting that the school be closed, Whetstone said. The vigil included a peaceful, silent mock funeral procession to the school. Whetstone said that almost $20 million in U.S. tax money supports the school. "Once poepie Know about it [the school] they can't believe what is happen­ ing. Once they get the facts, they are ap­ palled," Whetstone said. Whetstone also said that when the bill to close the School of Americas was presented to the U.S. House of Represen­ tatives, only half of North Carolina's sena­ tors and representatives voted to close the school. The bill was defeated by only 7 votes, but it will be presented to the House again next year. Whetstone and Cope spent time in Guatemala and the Honduras this sum­ mer, which inspired them to protest. "There were banners all over [the protest area] that said, 'The truth cannot be si­ lenced.' We were there to speak for our friends from Guate­ mala and Honduras." In response to the vigil, Lapez said, "I love (America) and what it stands for. I feel that the School of Americas is an embarrasment to this society." "We try to stop human rights viola­ tions worldwide, but there is a dark side of this that we aren't aware of," he said. Next week, Am­ nesty International be­ gins its year-long effort to close the school. Appalachian's Amnesty International chapter will sponsor a video featuring a former School of Americas professor who is now against the school. The video, entitled "An Insider Speaks Out," will be shown Monday, Nov. 24 in the student union's Watauga River Room. see whether it is cost effective to keep it open," said McDonnell. Class members are also interested in learning whether or not it would be better to close the inpatient wing during weekends. The university infirmary might consider the idea of "out-sourcing some of their more expensive services," said Brad Willis, another student involved in the survey and research processes. Students involved with the project plan to call on Watauga Medical Center to compare the price of an overnight stay in those facilities to the cost incurred by an overnight stay at the infirmary. This may determine if it would be less costly to send students to the medical center, rather than maintain the inpatient facilities. Such research might help Health Services decide whether or not to farm out such services. In another survey to be conducted as part of the research, students in cho­ sen classrooms will be asked about their knowledge of the services that the infir­ mary provides. Students may be unaware of some services, according to Willis. For example, Willis himself had never heard of a park­ ing amnesty for off-campus students who visit the infirmary. Parking amnesty allows students who need to park on campus to visit Health Services without worrying about a parking violation from University Police officials. The infirmary contacts the traf­ Even children asked for the closing of School of Americas, (photo by Nestor Infirmary's cost-effectiveness researched Ric Beard Staff Writer Research conducted by members of an Appalachian State University service and operations management class will hopefully determine the effectiveness of the university's health services depart­ ment. Appalachian senior Ryan McDonnell said he and fellow class mem­ bers seek information regarding the costeffectiveness of inpatient care and other services offered at the infirmary. Class members have distributed surveys to students who visit the infir­ mary. Surveys are used to gather various forms of information, such as how often students utilize inpatient services and "to fic department in such cases to let them know the student will be parking there. Senior Jennifer Simerson, who is also involved with the project, said the group also plans to get data from local doctors' offices. They will try to sample 10 percent of local family and general practice physicians to get their costs and compare them to the costs of Health Ser\ ices. According to Simerson, Appalachian students currently pay $74.50 in student health fees per semester. At the end of the semester, mem­ bers of the service and operations man­ agement class will give a presentation to Health Services to share their findings in the research and make recommendations for improvement. �The Appalachian 20 Page Roads from SPRING SERVICES *98 FREE PLANNING NEED CAS] WE BEY & si USED CD' Costa )Rica( TRAVEL CONNECTION 120 Appalachian Street 264-0802 1-800-890 0802 across from Boone Bagelry Take no chances ...

When we get to scribble down what we really think of our professors. It's . £v<ilu3tiori time. Most of you have probably already filled your evaluations for the semester and some 0f you have probably mumbled under your breath what a waste of time you think they are. Professors across the campus take heed: ^is is your evaluation, so you should know what parts apply to you. oUt For all the good intentions behind these bubble sheets and generic questions, these evalu­ ations only serve to make the students feel like they are having some little bit of input into a big machine. We all believe that most of our profes­ sors just glance at them casually and discard them like waste paper. Very few professors might ac­ tually take the time to sit down, read them and take the comments to heart. We know this be­ cause most of the staff here continues to teach the same as they did years ago, without regard to student comments. There's no sure-fire way to make profes­ sors read our invaluable comments. We wish there was some compulsory feeling in the instruc­ tors to just read the darn things, but naturally, most think that students do not know much about teaching. We know what we like and we will, in no uncertain terms, let you know what you need to change to accommodate the many lives you impact. These are our lives you're touching, re­ member? Granted, as students, we don't know ev­ erything. But our professors don't either, al­ though some adamantly believe they do. We know there's a reason these people are in such a respected position. We'd like to believe that pro­ fessors are in their positions because they can take a little criticism to heart and not get bent • out of shape. » Not all of the staff at Appalachian State are like that. Everyone on our staff agrees that there are some profs who deeply desire the com­ ments by students because, as is intended, they . want to improve in what they do. Others, how­ ever, will have none of it. There's nothing that disgusts a student quite like a know-it-all professor who refuses to change anything in their teaching format. Sure they're supposed to know more than us in cer­ tain areas, but a lot of them won't acknowledge that they're wrong or won't give the students a chance to contribute to a discussion. To sum it up, we don't like being made to feel stupid. Some professors thrive on such achievements as de­ meaning and insulting their students to the point that it embarrasses the pupil to come to class. "That's just my way," some might say. There are some professors that have so few interpersonal skills that they wouldn't even he fit to be morticians, simply because they can't take other people's opinions. Some don't offer any opportunities for one-on-one, discussions or even an occasional smile to let us know that it's tot us that pisses them off. In short, the professors on this campus arent all that bad. But, a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch. It's really sad that we have to ump the majority of good professors in with the bad. Many students wish their evaluations count toward helping the professors real­ ly some of their faults and strong points. Pre­ ssors cannot make every student happy, but they neod to listen to what the students want, a chance to 'earn effectively. would The Appalachian is published every Tuesday pad Thursday of the academic year with the exception of p ecled holidays and breaks.

Outdated equipment from the 70's and computers that crash regularly. Hopefully now with national recognition they can receive more fund­ ing, but why does it have to take so long? One of the reasons for 90.5's award was the dedication of the students to make the station better. The students saw the potential in themselves and what they could learn in a real job setting. They over­ came obstacles and put forth not only their time, but their own money to help buy equipment. That is sac­ rifice. That is dedication to learning and improving on something for others to en­ joy. Sacrifice is a part of any­ thing worthwhile. Some pro­ fessors do research on their own to help their students see things clearer. These are the same professors who have families and bills to pay. Their dedication shines through the obstacles they face. Those students and pro­ fessors should be recognized not only with monetary support for their efforts, but should at least be given the chance to do so. How often do you see professors get mad because they do not have the support of ASU? As a student I have seen that and that en­ rages me. I came to this university to learn and I have gone through many professors who did not care about what I did or did not learn. When I see a pro­ fessor who is passionate about what he/she does and wants to fill a student's mind with those passions, I want to learn. "How can the money not be there when million-dollar buildings are going up all around?" Letters to the Editor Cross at the Hoop? To the Editor: I am writing this letter, to tell you about an experience that I had at the men's basketball exhibition game against Crossfire Monday night. I went to this game excited, I was going to get involved in the Mountaineer Maniac program, and have fun. I love basketball and I wanted to show my support for our team, (Let me say this quickly I encourage more people to come to the games, both the Men's and Women's teams are pretty darn good). Well after a half of raising hell with other Maniacs, (Which we need more of you), it hap­ pened. At halftime I was sitting there minding my own business, when 1 noticed that members of the other team were in the crowd passing out religious pamphlets. I am sorry I thought I went to a basketball game not a religious function. Any­ way the player/coach came over to me and of­ fered me a pamphlet. I politely stated that I was not interested, and what happened next blew me away He immediately got into my face and asked me if I had accepted Christ into my heart as my savior; he did this pretty loud. (Hey administra­ tion what happened to my civil rights to be able to sit at an athletic event and not have to worry about my religious beliefs being attacked?) I re­ plied with an emphatic No, and that I never would! He was taken aback by my candor, and he asked why Now why do I have to explain myself to this man whom I do not know, excepf that he played crappy basketball. But, I obliged ana explained that I was Jewish. He then looked at me and stated that he liked the Jews, and he is very thankful for them. He then goes into this spiel about asking if 1 knew that Paul was Jewish. I was like no, re­ ally?! I felt like saying, hey do you know that the earth revolves around the sun, and it takes ap­ proximately 365 days to do it? Just because I am Jewish does not mean that I don't know the Bible. Hey I was there to watch a basketball game, not to have my religious beliefs challenged, and not to have this guy's beliefs imposed onto me. What gave this guy the right to get in my face and try to impose his beliefs on me? Hey don't get me wrong, I have no problem with Christianity, or any religion for that matter. I believe we are all entitled to our own beliefs, and I support anyone who believes strongly in the religion of their choice. But, what I do have a problem with is people who try to impose their beliefs on others just because they feel they are right and the rest of us are wrong. That belief helped to kill millions of Jewish people throughout history. It killed half of my family in Nazi Germany. It was also used as a basis to rationalize slavery; well the Africans are not Christians so they are savages and it is okay to enslave them. It was also used as justification to commit genocide against the Indians, you know Manifest Destiny. I have been told many times by people that I will go to Hell if I don't accept Christ into my heart. How do you know this, because the Bible tells you so? Well have a safe trip sailing to Hawaii, hope you don't fall off the edge of the earth, because the Bible says the earth is flat. The Old and New Testament are both filled with inac­ curacies, some of which have been pointed out in this paper not too long ago. So until you produce a Polaroid of all the Jews doing the Hava Nagila down in Hell with the devil, or I meet the person who has been to Heaven and saw everyone else up there but the Jews and came back to tell about it, just keep your thoughts to yourself. Some of you will write me off as a Liberal, and I don't know if that is so bad. I mean if Liberal means being able to sit and watch a basketball game at a State supported Uni­ versity without my religious beliefs being attacked, then, yes, I am a flaming Liberal! The god that I believe in loves everyone, no matter what your religion is.1 believe that if you live a good life, and don't hurt anyone purposely while you are here, you will go to Heaven. That includes everyone: Blacks, Whites, Gays, Lesbians, Jewish people, Christians, Moslems, Hindus, anyone, and yes even the same people who tell me I am going to Hell. I don't expect anyone else to accept my belief, all I ask is that you respect that it is mine and I have a right to it. We should spend our time trying to un­ derstand each other, not judging each other. Instead of trying to look at our differences, why don't we try to look at our similarities and realize we are all hu­ mans placed on a small planet with only a little bit of time to enjoy it. Lets make it okay for everyone to live here. Michael Ackerman ASU Box 10126 Bow-wow-wow yippee-yo yippee-yay To the Editor: Recently, I received the University Police Newsletter, in rny post office box, where upon read­ ing it, i came across an article entitled "University policy concerning dogs on campus."The article stated that "...dogs tend to create problems with the nor­ mal flow of pedestrian traffic and disrupt classes by barking." I find this statement totally ridiculous and I feel that the Police are trying to demonize dogs through the creation of a scapegoat, while at the same time, they ignore the true problems that disrupt the students while attending classes. During class I am constantly annoyed and disrupted by the workers on campus who use envi­ ronmentally destructive gas powered leaf blowers, instead of rakes, to clear away the fall leaves. Oftentimes it is virtually impossible to hear a profes­ sor speak during class because of the noise pollution created by these leaf blowers. The elimination of these items would help reduce classroom distractions and reduce ASU's impact on its surrounding environment. The mission statement of Appalachian State Univer­ sity includes the protection of the environment, a concept which is of direct concern to many, if not most, of the students and faculty here at ASU. If the police want to help out, then have them impound these loud, smoke belching, gas consuming tools and replace them with an earth and cardio-vascular friendly rake. Additionally, the accusation that chained up dogs create a disruption to pedestrian traffic patterns is similarly trite. I can recall numerous occasions while walking to class in which I have been forced to move out of the way due to police and university automobiles driving on the sidewalks of campus. I am more afraid of being hit by a campus vehicle while walking on the sidewalk than having my traffic pat­ tern disrupted by a poor old dog named Rex. Fur­ ther, I have never had my classes interrupted by bark­ ing dogs. Weed eaters, edge trimmers, leaf blowers, and leaf collection vehicles? Yes. But barking dogs? Never! It appears that the Police have adopted their "War on drugs" mentality (demonize a relatively harmless population and then use that propa­ ganda campaign to gather public support for their overzealous harassment of these individuals). The university police are using the dogs as a scape­ goat for what the true problems are. Sure, there are dogs on campus which may be loose or tied to trees, but they are not what annoys me and other students. 1 do not see students becoming annoyed by the dogs on campus, but rather I see students stopping to pet and play with them as a brief respite from a hectic day of classes. Anything that brings pleasure to our gen­ eration is always chastised by authority figures, while they ignore the real problems. Skateboard­ ing and now dogs (among other things) have be­ come the "problems" that we are told disrupt us. The students on campus should take a poll and let us decide what disrupts our classes and what creates problems with the normal flow of pedes­ trian traffic. Lelania Van De Berg dv30523 Bars and Stars leave no scars To the Editor: I am writing in response to your recent attack of the Ole Miss rebel flag. First of all, I commend you on your efforts to distort reality. I am from Mississippi. I live 45 minutes away from the Ole Miss campus, and about 50 percent of my high school is currently enrolled there. The rebel flag is a symbol of the Southern way of life backed by years of tradition and ancestral roots dating back to pre-Civil War. People go to Ole Miss be­ cause it is a good school- it has a good education program, a fairly balanced student body, and a great athletics program. The high school seniors who enroll there do so because their parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends have gone there before them. Fans continue to wave the rebel flag because no matter what, it is a symbol of their Southern team. The Civil War was fought over much more than slavery. (Incidentally, did you know Abraham Lincoln owned slaves? ) After the south paid off its debts from the American Revolution, the north continued to over-tax the area in order to pay off its debts. The Civil War was predominantly an economic struggle. The South could easily have supported itself with its vast plantations and in­ dustry while the North could not have survived alone for more than a few months. Did you know 90,000 black male soldiers fought on the side of the Confederacy? And I'm not talking about slaves in chains digging ditches, these were paid volun­ teers in uniform fighting because their homeland had been invaded. Symbols are what you make them. The Ole Miss fans have no problem waving their flags because, to them, they are a symbol of tradition and their team's heritage. Only people who wrongly interpret the flag as a symbol of bigotry have a problem with it. So maybe you should stick to your own state and deal with its problems first before you attack something you know nothing about.

Next comes the all-purpose, allduty, water-resistant, waterproof jacket that you paid so much money for. But it is worth it because you have so much stuff on you gotta be warm. Upon stepping outside, you de­ cide that it is too cold and head back in. Those days of staying inside with a cup of hot chocolate, maybe a little Rus­ sian tea, and snuggling up to the heater and television have come. Winter is here. But the fact that winter is here does not mean that daily activities auto­ matically change. A lot of students have to drive in the winter conditions that mother nature has so graciously chosen to bestow on Boone. The best way to make sure you can continue to do those daily activities is to make sure your trans­ portation is in proper working order. Kenneth Whitaker, sales representative at Advance Auto Parts, offers a few tips to prevent unwanted winter auto mishaps. Whitaker said that the most important thing is to check to make sure the anti­ freeze is right. Whitaker said that buy­ ing an antifreeze tester will help you to determine the right amount. They cost about $2.50. The best year-round pro­ tection is generally 50 per­ cent water and 50 percent an­ tifreeze. This combination will be good for conditions of ig an antifreeze tester will allow you to srmine if you have enough anitfreeze. >u have a new car, buy the new orange freeze, (photo by Elizabeth Derks) windshield and locks on cars freezing up. Say you are pouring hot water on the ice covering your windshield and thinking to yourself, "This is ice, this is hot water, surely the water will melt the ice." Whitaker said, "If you put hot water on a cold windshield, nine times out of 10, it will bust it." Instead, try a de-icer, or simply scrape the ice off. If you want to use wa­ ter, try something lukewarm. If the locks on your car freeze up, there is a de-icer especially made for this. It is similar to the windshield de-icer ex­ cept that it has a small tube that will fit into the lock and unfreeze it. Whitaker said that every now and then people come in wanting help with a car prob­ lem they could have prevented. He said most people who live in this area are prepared but a lot of students and visitors from warmer regions such as Florida are not. "A lot of the people who have problems are the people who aren't used to the conditions up here/' "Whitaker said. } itaker also windshield washer fluid that suggests buying has antifreeze in it.

Putting antifreeze S t u d Some of the most com­ yourself get stuck mon problems are ice on the ded snowtires have metal spikes that screw into the tire. They are like screws but don't go all the way through the tire and puncture it. Whitaker said that only time and a little practice driving in Boone's weather conditions will allow people to get used to it. A good idea would be to get your car battery checked. The worst possible situation would be to get stranded in a snowstorm because you failed to test your battery. Just in case this does happen, carry a battery charger in your car. Some essentials also include extra blankets and even a little space heater. If you have problems with the inside of your car fogging up and your de­ froster doesn't seem to work, try using defogger. Some things most people don't think about carrying in their car are starter spray and gas line antifreeze. These two items are not essential but help to keep everything lubricated and in good running condition. It is always good to keep your tank filled with gas rather than testing how far your car wants to run on fumes. All the snow and ice can some­ times seem like a hassle. It doesn't have to be.

Driven on impulses within himself, he reached a goal that has sent him climbing the mountain of fame. North Carolina writer Charles Frazier now sits on the bestseller lists with his first novel, "Cold Mountain." The story takes place in the Blue Ridge Mountains and is about a wounded sol­ dier who leaves the Civil War to return to the woman he loves. Frazier and his novel should hit close to the hearts of the students here at Appalachian State University. Just as the novel takes place right here in our home, Frazier also has a background an­ chored in the Appalachian range. In 1974, Dr. Daniel F. Hurley, current Chairperson of the Department of English, taught Frazier while he was in the process of earning his Master's Degree in English. Dr. Hurley describes Frazier as "a very nice man... very shy, but a tough shy." While attending classes at ASU, Frazier met his present wife, Katharine, while she was enrolled in Watauga Col­ lege. She went on to earn a Ph. D in ac­ counting and was later offered over $60,000 by ASU to teach. Administra­ tion thought that they would maybe strengthen her decision by offering Frazier a job as well. However, there were no openings for an English profes­ sorship. Katherine is currently a profes­ sor at North Carolina State University. Frazier founded ASU's publica­ tion "The Cold Mountain Review" with two of his friends. They have also be­ come semi-famous writers. Now, with the notability associ­ ated with his novel, Frazier often finds himself on the road, traveling across the country and making appearances at vari­ ous bookstores. When he is not travel­ ing, however, Frazier is happy being a father to his daughter and taking care of the horses at their home in Raleigh. Hurley wonders what Frazier re­ ally thinks of all the publicity. "But," he said, "sometimes struggle is the way a writer functions."

The game itself served as a prac­ tice, at best, for Appalachian State, who held a 66-25 halftime lead. "That's what we wanted, to try to get two (games against lesser opponents) early." Said Ap­ palachian State Coach Buzz Peterson. The coach also said he felt that the easy games early on in the season offered his team a chance to, "Experience a game-like condition and get their feet wet." No one player seemed to lead the way for ASU, as four players; Marshal] Phillips, Kareem Livingston, Ian Adams and Matt McMahon finished with more than 10 points. Of 15 Mountaineers who played, 14 scored.

He isn't in the locker room essing out with his teammates; he >esn't wear a jersey, a helmet or cleats, irbour is not a football player now, he is football coach. A decade ago, in 1987, Barbour ls a senior at Garner High School in irner, N.C. After growing up playing otball in both Pop Warner leagues and school teams, Barbour had emerged as alented running back. The majority of the Trojan squad grown up playing football together, the time the kids reached high school in ^llnct'°ned like a well-oiled machine.

Before each contest, they would ln a c t l o n a 9 ainst feast at the Toot-n-Tell, a popular Garner dining spot. The same pair of socks en­ cased the feet of Head Coach Hal Stewart from game one through the season finale. This cohesive football team, along with the lucky socks of its head coach, was to rise to greatness this fall. Led by #43 Barbour, the blue and gold clad Trojans won the North Carolina 4-A state cham­ pionship over Richmond High School. Football was not the only area Barbour participated in. He was a guard on Garner's basketball team, as well as a member of the school's track team. Barbour also served as a physical education pupil instructor at Aversboro Elementary School. When he graduated in 1988, Anthony Barbour left Garner High School not only as the leader of a state champion football team, but as the North Carolina player-of-the-year. North Carolina State University was his next stop. College football had never been on the forefront for Barbour, however. "I never thought about college," Barbour admitted. game. Only seven games have been determined by fewer than five points, and the Mountaineers are 3-2 against the 49ers in close games. Appalachian hasn't topped UNCC since 1990, when the Apps finished off the 49ers in Charlotte 85-79. • WHAT THE Yosef & the 49er: same hat, same pipe, same beard, same snarl...Could these two be twins separated.at birth? Nah compiled by Justin Joplin Assistant Football Coach Anthony Barbour has come a long way from his days in Garner Though just 20 minutes away from his hometown of Garner, N.C. State was a whole new world for Barbour. The transition was tough on and off the field, he said. The Atlantic Coast Conference had bigger, faster players than he had ever competed against. He was also on his own academically for the first time. Including a redshirt season, Barbour spent five years under the tuteledge of Wolfpack Head Coach Dick Sheridan. The memories that stand out above all others, Barbour said, are those made during his senior year in 1992. The red and white team from Ra­ leigh posted a 9-2 record that season. Most of the seniors on the team played in every game and there were seven all-conference selections. What Barbour liked best about the team, he said, was the way they worked together. Like his teammates at Garner High School, Barbour's N.C. State teammates, numbering over 200 and com­ ing from vastly different backgrounds, functioned as a unit. Barbour graduated from N.C. Georgia Tech as a member of the Wolfpack. (photo provided by Anthony State in 1993 with a degree in sociology this season, had extensive interaction and criminal justice. He moved to Person with.

One copy free Appalachian State University Boone, North Carolina 28608 90.5 rocks the nation WASU nationally recognized as best college station Darin Glass Editor-in-Chief The most prestigious award in col­ lege radio was granted this weekend to Appalachian State University's studentrun station, 90.5 The APP (WASU-FM). Representatives from The APP re­ ceived first place honors in the Best Col­ lege Radio Station category of the Na­ tional Conference of Student Electronic Media, hosted by the National Association of College Broadcasters (NACB). The conference was held last Thursday-Sunday in Providence, R.I. The APP won the award based on its performance during the 1996-1997 school year. Current WASU Station Manager, senior Brad Sherrill, attributed the award to many contributors. "Number one, I want to thank the students because they are the ones who make us who we are," said Sherrill. "Number two, I want to thank (former station manager) Jonathan Mauney, because he really took the initia­ tive to set the foundation for the station to grow." Mauney, who served as station man­ ager through May 1997, accompanied cur­ rent 90.5 staff members to accept the award. Appalachian State beat out college stations from across the country. Other finalists in the best station category in­ cluded the University of La Verne, West Texas A&M University, Hofstra University and the University of Georgia. WASU also earned third place hon­ ors in the radio play-by-play category, for Sherrill's play-by-play broadcast of an ASU-Davidson basketball game. He was assisted by Josh Mead, who delivered the color commentary. WASU Music Director Scotty Immel, who decides what music should be played on the air, attributed the honor to the long­ time development of the radio staff. The staff radically changed the station's format in the fall of 1995, remod­ eling The APP's image to better suit ASU's audience. This proved to be a success, as a 1996 survey showed that The APP was the number one radio station choice of Appalachian State students. Sherrill is positive about what the award will help do for the radio station. "Who says this (station) can't be a power­ house college for radio? This award will help us get national recognition and let other people know who we are," said Sherrill. The staff now looks for funding not only from the department and the state, but also from national contributors. Sherrill summed up the station's sentiment. "We are a small station with 340 watts, and we now have proof that we are the number one station in the coun­ try. No one is better than we are."

Consistent requests for rides resulted in the purchase of the new van to accomodate more riders. Harman said. Despite this purchase, Harman said there is still room for expansion. In addition, since the pro­ gram changed from the hands of the Student Government Associa­ tion to those of ASU police offi­ cials, safety has been an issue taken quite seriously, said Harman. All drivers are screened be­ fore they are hired, and all are qualified to drive the vans, Harman said. Right now, the Mountaineer Escort Service is not hiring, but Harman said the program uses an application process to hire drivers. Drivers are not required to have a CDL, because no van the escort service uses holds more than 15 passengers. ASU police officials have tried to make the system accessible to students. Harman said students should be aware that the Moun­ taineer Escort Service is here for them to use, but the escort service will not go anywhere off campus, except for the parking lots leased by the university. Captain Roy Tugman, direc­ tor of University Police said the service is not limited to students. Faculty and staff are also encour­ aged to call the service if a ride is needed, he said. Tugman said he hopes ASU students will use the Mountaineer Escort Service more, and that the students here will continue to sup- • 16MB RAM (expandable to 48MB) Staff Writer i jjjll • 1,4GB hard drive jjBjJJ • 11.3" Dual-Scan SVGA flat-panel display JKK/KBL • 128-bit Accelerated Graphics :I • Internal 33.6K modem . :• ' ' • Internal 14X Max CD"ROM' • PremierSound Audio System • Network-ready (Ethernet PC Card) • Comprehensive software bundle for school and home Three-year limited warranty (carry in, pick up)2 (SAVE $400.

Stu­ nts came here because of small classes and ecause of a reputation for strong professor/stuent interaction So why do many students still complain bout their professors? Take for example, the University of North arolina at Chapel Hill. They have hundreds of rofessors who are there to research their fields finterest, and to further themselves in that field, bey write books and sometimes are made to do •search". Those professors are not usually availble after class or during their office hours beaUse of this research. They may just expect stuents to read their books, and learn from there. In high school, teachers would say how ard college would be and how students have to •arn everything on their own. Then why have rofessors at all? Why not list assignments and formation via computers? This would cut the ost of having professors. That is a jaded solution, but what is frusrating is the professor who does not have time, •he professor who does not care. The professor vho knows his/her stuff so well they thought they ;ould teach others, but cannot because they do 10t have the people skills. To be a professor at a university, do you ust have to have a doctorate? Do you have to go hrough any training like high school teachers? )oyou have to have interpersonal skills? Not really. Many students have encountered at least me or more professors that they did not like, lot necessarily the ones that were too hard or wring, but the ones who did not care—at all.

Students drop out because of lack of encouragement and support: Students skip class when they know that they will not pass a test because the teacher does not agree with their roint of view.

My name is Patty, and this is a courtesy call to tell you about (fillin-the-blank worthless offer or product)! This is an offer limited to you, our special caller, and I'm going to talk nonstop until you give in to the pressures of telemarketing!..." What is the proper response to these dreaded phone visitors? Until a few weeks ago, I thought the best method of pest extermination was to simply say no thanks, rather rudely, to discourage any future calls. And, in extreme cases, where the caller would refuse "no" for an answer, I would slam the phone down in a sad form of retaliation. That was my attitude— until I became one of the dreaded mystery women on the other end of the line, a woman whose finan­ cial standing depended on the people I called. I took a job not as a telemarketer, but as a phone surveyor. My purpose was to offer customers of a particular business the opportunity to voice their opinions on said business, as well as to make sugges­ tions for future change.

Eight students, in­ cluding one graduate student made the five day trip. I wish to point out that the efficiency and success in which this ex­ cursion was completed were due to the great assistance and planning that was carried out by Dr. Brenda L. Wey prior to our arrival. Within an hour of arriving in D.C. at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 29, we were all seated above the Senate watching sena­ tors Ted Kennedy and Jesse Helms and a long list of notables complete a roll call vote on the Senate floor. After a trip to the House of Rep­ resentatives, we were able to visit the Viet­ nam, Korean, Lincoln and new Roosevelt memorials.

This show was one of the most comprehensive photographic exhibitions I have ever seen. Parks is one of the least known great photographers of this cen­ tury. He is also an example of a gifted black man being mostly ignored in the prima­ rily white history and museum worlds. Thursday afternoon, we met David Haberstich, Head of Photographic Collections at the National Museum of American History (NMAH). He gave us a behind the scenes tour that included spe­ cial viewing of some of the unique collec­ tions they had just acquired. Haberstich gave us a very candid history of the theories behind the collect­ ing of photographs since the 1840s by the Smithsonian Institution. He was also able to provide us with up to date information on the use of interns throughout the Smithsonian Institution. Haberstich then turned us over to Michelle Delaney, a museum specialist within the Division of Photographic His­ tory. This visit turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip for both the students See Washington on page 8 �The Appalachian 18 j Page 6 Washington from page 5 and myself. Delany brought out vin­ tage prints of some of the greatest names from the early history of photography. Students got the op­ portunity to see first hand various techniques and processes that no 35mm slide reproduction or video could ever properly reproduce in a university classroom. The afternoon was com­ pleted with a tour of the NMAH photographic shooting facilities by Dane Penland, chief of the Imag­ ing and Technology Services Branch Office of Printing and Pho­ tographic Services. The use of tra­ ditional film technologies in stu­ dio and location photography were demonstrated, as well as the con­ tinued growing use of electronic imaging. Friday morning, we met Jennifer Brathovde, a reference specialist at the Prints and Photo­ graphs Division of the Library of Congress. A basic overview of the collection within the library was reviewed. Brathovde demonstrated the computer search mechanisms in place for both in-house and World Wide Web searching of the collection. Best of all, we were able to view a wide range of early his­ toric photographs that Brathovde had pulled for us. Following our tenure with Brathovde we remained on and were able to make and pull our own requests from the files. Again, the viewing of original prints was a unique, exciting, and important part of the trip. Friday afternoon, we trav­ eled to the very significant exhibi­ tion of work by Mathew Brady at the National Portrait Gallery. An exhibition of this scope of photo­ graphs by Brady has not been mounted in over 100 years. The ex­ hibition truly lived up to its title of "Images As History, Photogra­ phy As Art." Following this exhibition, we traveled throughout the Na­ tional Portrait Gallery viewing the numerous historic photographic portraits on display. Late Saturday morning, we traveled to the United States Holocaust Memorial. It is perhaps the most vivid and thus the most frightening use of photographs by any museum in existence. The Holocaust Memorial demonstrates without a doubt that photographs are far more powerful than their inherent technical ability to sim­ ply record data in front of a lens. Late Saturday afternoon was left open, but many of us ven­ tured to the Thomas Moran exhi­ bition at the National Gallery. The unique element of this exhibition was that Moran traveled with pho­ tographer William Henry Jackson, and together they documented the Western Expansion Movement fol­ lowing the Civil War. One traveled with a brush and the other with a camera. Many of the paintings were completed with Moran sitting in his studio working from memory, but also with the assis­ tance of scenes etched in the Depression may be more than a bad mood bouts in my lifetime.

They cer­ tainly didn't understand the situa­ tion. It got to the point where I didn't feel anything. I was com­ pletely numb to feelings, emotions, and acts. I was a walking zombie. That was when I went to the hospital. Yes, I went to a psy­ chiatric hospital called Charter Pines. You've all seen the commer­ cials. "If you don't call Charter, call someone." I know it sounds cheesy, but it really helped me to be there. It was a tremendous source of support having other people around me that were go­ ing through the same experiences. When you think of psychi­ atric wards or hospitals, don't think of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." It wasn't like that at all. We had a padded room, but it was rarely used. It was actually a lot like a dorm, except we couldn't leave and we occasionally had to talk to a doctor. It's okay to talk about suicide with de­ pressed people. It's not going to make them want to do it even more. Talking helps a lot of people, and just knowing someone wants to listen can be enough of a deterrent. If you know someone who is thinking about suicide, don't be afraid to talk about it with them. Most of the time people don't really want to kill them­ selves. They just need to talk and to feel loved. I've been in and out of therapy for six years. I started see­ ing a psychologist when I was 13.

Talking to some­ one with an objective view helps me work out my issues—and I've got plenty. Therapy can be the answer for many people. There have been other things that have helped me. Medi­ cation, for one. I've been on two rounds of Zoloft, which didn't do a thing for me. I've been on Prozac for 20 months now. It's helped to even out my moods. My doctors say I will never be as happy as normal people, but at least now I'm close to it. Most of the time I've been neutral, or steady, and that's a whole lot better than be­ ing at rock bottom. Just recently my doctor upped my dosage of Prozac because I've been going through a down period. I also had to go through a series of tests at the local hospital to make sure there isn't another medical reason for my behavior, like a messed up thyroid gland. Depression is caused by many different factors. One is your own personal biochemistry. My therapist described my situation by saying that I didn't have enough "happy chemicals," such as sero­ tonin. In other words, my neu­ rotransmitters are slow. You know, the little electric zaps that zip around your brain? Mine are lazy, which is why I take Prozac. It's a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, meaning it helps my zaps to zip. Depression can also be hereditary. This is also true in my case. Apparently, depression runs in my family on both sides, so there was a good chance before I was even born that I was going to de­ velop depression. Another cause is environ­ mental factors. Let's face it, if you have a crappy life you're not go­ ing to be a very happy person. I won't go into detail, but let's say I've had a less-than-satisfying life. Don't be afraid to talk about mental illnesses such as de­ pression. I know there is still a stigma surrounding it, and some­ times I feel uncomfortable telling people my history. However, I think "normal" people are just afraid of saying the wrong thing. Asking questions is okay. People with mental illnesses would rather be understood than ignored.

The trip to Washington D.C. was highly successful. We were obviously involved with nu­ merous exhibitions and opportu­ nities that greatly benefitted the technical photography majors who participated. I wish to again thank Dr. Wey for her assistance prior to and throughout our visit. Finally, I would like to state that we are very fortunate that Appalachian State University continues to provide us with the Appalachian House.

We all wonder, "Who is that cheery, yet sincere voice be­ hind the Tele­ phone Registra­ tion System (TRS) and why does she - 2 r r ? h Vivian talks on the phone inTerJE^" The voice (Ph°t0 Andrew Hershner) • is Vivian. (If we told you her last dad. Well, I'm their super td i < o r u name, what fun would that be?) Vivian is the one telling each and every one of you your future— your class schedule and grade in­ formation. And Vivian tells it like it is. Vivian says one of the hardest parts of making the re­ cording of her voice, which she did when TRS started in the spring of 1995, was sounding positive, yet not too happy when "telling" a student their current grade is an "F'l" Vivian, who is staff at Appalachian and a Graduate stu­ dent, updates the TRS system with new classes and course numbers for each semester. The majority of the recording, how­ ever, is the same today as it was when TRS first started. Working as the Video Manager for Appalachian's Dis­ tance Learning Center, Vivian su­ pervises students and also has a chance to get to know them. Vivian's role with TRS provides many opportunities for her to have fun with the students at the center. "During Registration, students come in and say.'I couldn't get into this class or that class.' I say, 'Well, I didn't want you to take that class anyway," said Vivian, laughing. Vivian says, however, that students don't always react well when she reveals herself as the "voice." "Every one of them [the students] has said, 'Oooh, that's weird. I don't want to register to you'," said Vivian. "I guess they [the students] feel like they used to when their dads did something at their school.

The Mountain1lightered the sacrificial lamb Lime- College 81-55 before 3,856 screamfans who showed the kind of enastn not seen in Boone for years. Sophomore Tyson Patterson led to victory with 18 points and three j - fatterson was perfect from behind C hitting on all three of his threeattempts while also going five-of°rti thp fi-ee throw line. Patterson followed the pattern of his team by starting off strong with 16 points in the first half, but fizzling in the second half with just two points. Appala­ chian outscored the Saints by only four points (34-30) in the second half. Patterson said at the start of the game the team's "intensity was way above our heads." As for his own performance, Patterson said that in the second half "I was more or less looking for my team and trying to get them involved." Also coming up big in the opener was a Mountaineer who was making his debut with the team, Marshall Phillips. The junior from Atlanta, Ga. scored Appalachian's first point of the season on a free throw forty seconds into the game, and had 16 points, five rebounds and two — " 1 .—_ TT"~! * Phillips en route to two of his 16 points (photo by Marvin Evans) blocks on the night. Following Phillip's free throw Limestone was able to extend their lead to 4-1 on a layup by John Fant. However, their lead quickly evaporated as the Moun­ taineers were able to rattle off runs of nine and eight points to build an 18-6 lead five minutes later. The Apps then began a 12-point run that extended their lead to 20 points three minutes later. Matt McMahon closed out the half with a three-pointer that sent the Saints into the locker room reeling with a 47-25 deficit. The second half proved to be suniewnai or a stalemate as the two teams exchanged buckets almost equally. ASU's Tige Darner, got hot early in the half hit­ ting two thee-pointers for six of his 15 points. About four minutes later, Phillips got the ball inside and jammed one home on a pass from Patterson that sent the crowd into an uproar and gave Appala­ chian a 60-33 lead. One of the strangest sights of the night came with about 8:40 left in the half when Appalachian big man Josh Grover got a technical foul for rim-hanging which gave Limestone two shots that they failed to take advantage of. When the Mountaineers had put the Saints out of contention late in the game, Coach Buzz Peterson brought in the bench for some mop-up duty. Walk-on Daniel Issacs finished the scoring for the Mountaineers with a layup in the last minute that made it 81-53 Appalachian. Peterson said afterwards that he was "pleased with some of the guys com­ ing off the bench." Phillips, who Peterson called "very aggressive," said that "we've got to get better at intensity," in reference to the Mountaineers lackluster second half per­ formance. "If we can keep it up, you're going to see 200-point games and blow­ outs." As for his overall thoughts on the opener Phillips said "It was a good expe­ rience for our first real game." The Mountaineers stand at 1-0 as they get set to battle Anderson College tonight at 7:00 p.m. in the gym. App 'Maniacs' have come a long way Justin Griffin Sports Editor Saturday night at the Lime­ stone game, I saw something that I had not seen in Varsity Gymnasium all of last year; fan support. It was so refreshing to see our fans jeering Limestone and giving Ap­ palachian a true home-court advan­ tage. The 3,856 fans who showed up were the most I've seen in the gym in two years of going to games there. And unlike last year, the fans were loud. The Mountaineer Maniacs were very impressive with their cheers and quick migrations to end of the court when Limestone was shooting free throws. Of course, by the end of . the game, the Maniacs had lost their edge a little bit when they repeatedly started shouting "over-rated," at Lime­ stone. Of course, the players from Limestone were confused when they heard the chant, but it was amusing. However despite what many people think, the home crowd is like a sixth man for a basketball team. When the crowd is really supportive, the play­ ers on the court play harder. "I love the Mountaineer Ma­ niacs," said point guard Tyson Patterson. "The more fans we have out, the better we play." The fans also keep the team's defensive intensity up. Marshall Phillips added, "When we're running our press and we hear the crowd going, it gives us en­ ergy from within." What's even more fun for the fans is that they are in the position to annoy the heck out of players. One incident from last season that really sticks in my mind was during the Marshall game when the Thundering Herd's Sydney Coles was really ragged hard by the App fans because of his first name. Not to offend anyone with "Sydney" for a first name, but Sydney is kind of a name often reserved for women. At any rate, the fans caught on to who Sydney was and jeered him until he was practically in tears. Coles be­ came so angry, he started screaming at the fans to "screw-off" and sticking them naughty finger gestures. The jeers caused Coles to have one of his worst games of the season, missing lay-ups, free throws, and just playing a awful game. In a roundabout way, destroy­ ing Coles destroyed Marshall. It demor­ alizes a team when they have a player who can't hit a layup or misses an in­ credible amount of free throws all be­ cause he has been pschyed out by the crowd. Fans are part of any story in basketball. Unlike football, there is a roof, and the roof doesn't let the sound escape too easily. As a result, starting in Thursday's edtion, and continuing throughout the season, the craziest Mountaineer Maniacs will get their pic­ tures published in the "Sports" section. So go find the stupidest outfit, figure out the craziest routine to throw the opposing team off. Do something to get qay attention. I'm waiting. �The Appalachian 18 NoVenik Men's Schedule Nov. 18 Anderson Nov. 24 UNC-Charlotte Nov. 28 at Tennessee Dec. 2 Dec. 6 Cancun at Winthrop Dec. 9 6 Days - Most Meals Free - Free Parties - Includes Taxes at Virginia Montana State Dec. 21 at Tennessee Statt $39 Dec. 30 Martin Method^ Jan. 3* Jan. 7 7 Nights Air/Hotel - Free Meals & 21 Hours Free Drinks ETSU (FOXSS) Niagra Jan. 10 at VMI Jan. 12 UNC-Greensboro Jan. 14 Chattanooga 7 Nights - Air + Hotel - Save $150 on Food and Drinks Florida Jan. 17 at North Carolinj $ 11 Jan. 19 Georgia Southern Jan. 21 Western Carolina South Beach, Panama City, Daytona, Cocoa Beach Jan. 24 ETSl!

Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski said a cer­ emony to honor ASU vet­ erans used to be held, but it has not occurred in quite some time. The chancellor stood in the crowd, watch­ ing the ceremony, and he, too reflected on the vet­ eran who had most af­ fected his life: his uncle. On Feb. 14, 1945, the chancellor was still a child. His favorite uncle was killed while flying a plane above the Pacific in World War II. It was the chancellor's mother's Staff Writer Jeremy Ball Campus Life Editor Early Tuesday morning, with dew still on the grass, an unusual group gathers on the Appalachian State University cam­ pus. There are only a few students, most of whom are dressed in green Army ClassA uniforms or in the spotted greens, whites and blacks of camouflage BDUs. Older men wearing blue and gold American Le­ gion hats arrive and gather around the Army ROTC Cadets as 7:30 a.m. ap­ proaches. They are joined by a group of administrators, a few faculty and mem­ bers of the Boone community. Looking out at the sea of orange and yellow construction cones blanketing the ground below, people begin shivering as the cold wind brushes across their faces. Members of an ROTC honor guard begin to move in a slow step, or ceremo­ nial step, toward the lone pole of their destination. The familiar red, white, and blue bundle is unfolded, one turn after another, until it forms a perfect rectangle. "Attach the flag," sounds the honor guard commander. As the bugle call is played, the sym­ bol of freedom—which, to many gathered here, represents everything our nation's men and women have died for—is raised to half-mast. The crowd stands in reverence as taps is played. Cadets and veterans sa­ lute, and others stand erect with their hands over their hearts. Cadets and ad­ ministrators stand intensely focused on the flag, while veterans from the Ameri­ can Legion stare blankly into the distance, many misty-eyed. The flag flaps, the honor guard is dismissed and everyone goes inside to get out of the cold morning air. On Nov. 11, Appalachian State Uni­ versity held the first ever Veterans Day Flag Raising Ceremony to honor all fac­ ulty, staff, and student veterans in front of the B.B. Dougherty Administration Building. The Student Government Associa­ tion (SGA), the Department of Military Science, and the Office of the Chancellor Oceanographer's lecture describes life in the sea birthday. After that tragic day, when her brother was killed, she refused to celebrate her birthday. "I remember vividly the service, the body, everything about it. It was very tragic. I was thinking of him during the ceremony," Borkowski said. He said that the Veteran's Day flag raising ceremony is very important for the community and students. "We get 365 days a year to enjoy the benefits of what so many people have done for us. It's just such precious little time, but important time, to set aside and, in essence, say, 'Thank you. We remem­ ber you'," Borkowski said. "For those of us who are older, we have had loved ones who have served or passed away.

Quincy, oceanographer Robert Ballard gave a detailed slide presentation and lecture Tuesday, in Appalachian State University's Farthing Auditorium. Ballard addressed the audience on past explorations and gave insight into future plans. His slide show included photo­ graphs from several shipwrecks. He also discussed findings of an­ cient Roman ships on the trade route be­ tween Carthage and Rome. Ballard explained that these antiq­ uities were monumental in the scientific and historical communities, because they showed the ocean's preservation ability. The artifacts taken from the wrecks were approximately two millenia old, Ballard explained. In addition to his accomplishments underwater, Ballard also designed an in­ novative fiber-optics technique to improve oceanographic explorations. The technique utilizes a robotic sub­ marine controlled from a mother ship, with a base on land, he said. Ballard was able to discover the ancient Roman ships through use of this technique, he said. Ballard said his interest in science goes beyond technical work. He is the founder of the JASON foundation, which combines his love for science with his love for children. "I had a lot of children write me and ask how to become an oceanographer. This project makes this occupation feasible to children," Ballard said. The foundation allows children to interact with the excavations via satellite, Robert Ballard (photo by Erica Riccardelli) he said. The opportunity is open to students from fourth to eighth grades. The only requirement is that the students take a sci­ ence class, said Ballard. Ballard received an undergraduate degree in geology and chemistry from the University of California. After attending graduate school at the Univerity of Southern California and the University of Hawaii, he received a Ph.D. in marine geology and geophysics from the University of Rhode Island. Ballard spoke as part of the Mor­ gan Lecture Series. The series was established in honor of G. William Morgan, a 1934 Appala­ chian State University graduate. The Morgan family created an endowment to bring distinguished scien­ tists to Appalachian.

Jamie Wicker, Student Gov­ ernment Association Public Affairs Director, saw the need to allow stu­ dents to recollect and once again have a ceremony honoring veter­ ans. Borkowski has asked Wicker to make this ceremony an annual event, and Wicker said she has ev­ ery intention of doing so. She was instrumental in implementing the ceremony held Tuesday morning, which she felt went very well. "It's not often that you plan something and it comes off with­ out a hitch, exacdy the way you planned it," Wicker said. Much of the success of the ceremony was due to the partici­ pation of Captain Shannon Will­ iams, staff member of the university's Military Sciences De­ partment. She assisted with the official ceremony due to her experiences with military ceremonies. "It's wonderful to pay respect to those who have given the ulti­ mate sacrifice. We live in a very diverse world and somebody has to protect the ability for us to live in a diverse world. Recognizing those who have made the ultimate sacri­ fice to protect our abilities to be who we want to be is a wonderful opportunity," Williams said. Williams, having been in the military for the past seven years, said she joined the military to push herself and to challenge herself to higher levels. Williams felt that a ceremony like this was well overdue. "We live in a pretty hectic world, especially when you come on a college campus. You tend to focus more on what's going on in your own little world and you for­ get that people are out there pro­ tecting and defending us to live how we want to live," she said. 'Just taking two or three minutes on Nov. 11 to recognize those people is a heartwarming ex­ perience and a heartwarming time just to remind everybody that there are people making sacrifices for us," Williams said. Fernando Little, SGA Presi­ dent, also felt that this ceremony was long overdue. "It's high time that we rec­ ognize the veterans in our commu­ nity for the service that they give to us, and they need to know that we at Appalachian State appreci­ ate everything that they do for us," he said. "We hope that this will be a tradition that will continue for a long time," Little said. Little said that having a cer­ emony like this also gives the Mili­ tary Sciences Department and ROTC. a portion of the recognition they deserve. One of the veterans at the ceremony was John Miller. Wear­ ing the blue and gold American Legion hat, he was remembering his own military service during the ceremony. Miller served with the Ninth Army Division in World War II. His division was the first to cross the Rhine during the Allies' march to defeat Hitler's army. Miller said that people need to see things like the flag raising ceremony so they don't forget vet­ erans. It means a lot to us. We don t have many of these things any more. People have (just) abouN forgot(ten) about it," Miller said. He said that it's B important for students®! erans honored. „ "They'll forget abol j, us old fellers have done country," Miller said.

What if? No more running to Lowe's to • d that weekly beer special or heading down "Wade's on Thursday night. 0 phese may not be concerns to some Dle but Boone would not be the same if beer sn0t allowed in town. Not only the atmo"\ere but the mood, at least on the weekends, Lid definitely change. Students go home enough as it is on the eekends, because of the lack of clubs and asLed watering holes in Boone. Alcohol may m be the only reason students leave on the Wends, but to some it is a big reason. No more Warehouse. No more ABC store. No more Peabody's. These stores may not mean much to some, but the revenue of these stores bring big money the town. And it's interesting to think about what Boone might be like if things hadn't changed, especially considering the current re­ strictions placed on the town through a prohi­ bition on liquor by the drink. Students before 1986 used to take the winding road to Blowing Rock to have "happy hour." The town of Boone was totally dry, and no alcohol of any sort was allowed to be purcahsed in town. A Boone election was held to change the alcohol law for the town. A qoute from then SGA president, Todd Campbell, summed up the feeling on the campus of ASU, "ASU is now the finest school in North Carolina." Taking the winding pitch-dark 321 to Blowing Rock for a drink back then was even worse. People would still get into their cars in­ toxicated and drive back to campus. Many people have said that was one of the main rea­ sons for changing the law. Sound familiar to anyone driving back from Tijuana Fats' late at night after a search for booze? But, would a dry Boone be that bad? Is alcohol the root of all the evils on campus? Some professors and administrators might think so, and statistics might even back them up. Others would argue that it would provoke more drinking for students, and alcoholism would rise. There seem to be no positives accompaning alcohol except for the monetary value and jobs. The fact of the matter is that alcohol brings in money for any town. Regardless of what people think, bars at universities are big busi­ nesses and also employ many college students tying to pay for their schooling. OK, but if beer is allowed, why is liquor not? Why don't they just go all the way? These are some of the questions that have been raised since the installation of the law. Rumors have spun around saying that some res­ taurants have land set aside up here waiting for the opportunity to build when Boone allows liquor by the drink. Is that a logical thing to assume if Boone were to allow liquor? It could possibly bring more revenue to Roone and allow more jobs to surface for stu­ dents who have trouble finding jobs in town. Alcohol will not go away, and proof of that rs the recalling of the Prohibition Act.

Hearing the words "war," "Middle East," "Iraq" and "United Nations" used in the same sen­ tences takes one back awhile. When someone grows up in a place with a strong military presence, such as Fayetteville, the fear of war is even more potent, since many friends' parents served in the Army at Fort Bragg. This wasn't merely a national issue to those who experienced its trauma firsthand, it was very personal. It affected the entire community. The knowledge that family members, friends and neigh­ bors would be away for a long time and that some of them might not return had a numbing effect. The anti-war movement of today fails to recognize this issue as being personally applicable, but rather as an ideal with no serious ramifications. Though many people who claim to be paci­ fists have noble intentions, most of them have no clue what they're standing up against. Most issues that people come out against aren't as personally ap­ plicable as they are to others. Some people just need a cause or an angle. The sincerity behind it is an after-thought. Sadly, too many people just think it's the cool thing to do. That's all good and everything, but these people de­ serve little respect. Though they may re­ ally think they believe in what they're against, they often don't. In turn they tend to be intoxicated with an unparalleled zeal that really aggra­ vates other people. We've experienced this phenomenon re­ cently with the many letters for and against vegetarianism. However, when asked, neither vegetarians nor omnivores could pro­ vide convincing support for why they feel the way they do. But that's a dead issue. The deal with the potential war in Iraq is that, even if war and violence seemed a reasonable action, the United States, nevertheless, should not bear the responsibility for policing the world. Many people think it should. But, there are domestic prob­ lems it can't take care of properly, so why should the United States stick its nose in other countries' busi­ ness? The true intentions of the United States' in­ volvement in Iraq's demilitarization, and indeed the Persian Gulf War, are attributable to the Middle East's thriving oil mar­ ket. The tremen­ dous oil appetite of the United States can only subsist for a short time in the pres­ ence of embar­ goes and sanc­ tions that ulti­ mately result in inflated gasoline costs. Much like the emotional zeal of concerned students is a fa­ cade for idleness and boredom, the peacemaking/warmaking efforts of the United States is a facade for materialism. The lives of our friends and family should not be compromised by a government that disguises its blatant business ploys as acts of caring and altru­ ism. If the United States government is honestly "Though many people who claim to be pacifists have noble intentions, most of them have no clue what they're standing up against." see War page 4 Large corporations are essential youth sometimes spin yarns like this: "Did you hear?

Mathematically challenged comes important when considering how some busi­ nesses function. For example, the extraction of oil and gas is very capital intensive. For partnerships and proprietorships, it is very difficult to raise the kind of capital required for this industry. Can you think of any small businesses that extract oil? I didn't think you could. Therefore, oil extraction would be extremely difficult without the corporation form of business. Big business has also made our society more productive. In 1820, the average pro­ duction per person was $651. In 1992, the av­ erage production jumped to $5,145 per person (Monitoring the World Economy 18201992 by Angus Maddison). Most importantly, think about the effect that corporations have had on your life. Think about the car you may drive. Who do you think actually produces this? Do you think steel grows on trees? It is also important to think about the people who work for corporations. Are they evil, nasty tyrants who want to rule all our lives? No. The vast majority of employees are regu- "People fear the rich because they have money, and money is power. This fear, of course, is nonsensical." Straight talk on ASU Slammed in the gate To the Editor: To the Editor: I have just read the "Opinion" article (No­ vember 6,1997) entitled, "We're getting too big for our britches again." Your writer suggested the administration of this university take mea­ sures to ensure upperclassmen housing by de­ creasing the size of the freshmen class through limiting the number of freshmen accepted and increasing admissions requirements. If this were truly a university and not a di­ ploma factory, I would agree with you. However since I can remember (which would be my first semester in fall 1993), the business of Appala­ chian has been business. Every year more fresh­ men mean this institution shows signs of grow­ ing - at least in quantity - and because it is grow­ ing more money comes from the state. It is money to build a lake, where our peers can be assaulted at night and deals can be made, that this univer­ sity is interested in, not the education and hous­ ing of its students. My advice is not to the administration, who after last year seem unwilling to listen unless tele­ vision stations from Winston-Salem or Charlotte arrive and damage this university's reputation, but to the students. Come to Appalachian as fresh­ men because of the low admissions requirements. Then transfer to a university. It is a sad day when students have to pay to get into an ASU football game. We are supposed to be guaranteed admittance into athletic events with­ out paying. I understand that other people not from this university try to get in by using their friqnd's cards, but this is the exception and not the rule. Some­ times I wonder how ignorant the university thinks we are. There is a picture on our Appcards which proves our identity. Why can't they let us in if we show visual proof of our being students of ASU? The answer to that is money! This university will do any­ thing and everything to make money off of us. If their hearts were not filled with greed they could have let the students enter without paying. The universities in North Carolina are a billion dollar business, and if they can make $11 off of a student they will. To some students that are on financial aid, $11 is a lot of money I feel it is discrimination. The university is taking ad­ vantage of us in many ways and charging students to get back into a football game that is supposed to be free is just one example.

My experience with dogs, students and visitors, in more than 3 years on campus, says the writer and other dog-phobic complainers may have personal problems cen­ tered around a strong species-centric bias against animals when they are not human. The heat of their complaints gives them away and says far more about them than it does the dogs about whose presence on campus they object. The happy reactions between dogs, their owners and other students that I have observed over the years have added immeasurably to my enjoyment of the distinct ASU atmosphere. Al­ though I have seen a few dogs in classrooms for short periods of time and heard a few of them bark while awaiting the return of their masters, I have never encountered a vicious one or felt threatened by one. Visitor reaction to campus dogs has also been positive if stopping to socialize with them, observed many times, is an indication.

The United States is es­ sentially a "melting pot" of hun­ dreds of different ethnic groups. Appalachian State University is no different. But one group is not very visible on campus: Hispanics. As a native Puerto Rican, I am part of the revolution occurring in the U.S., and yet the growing Hispanic community is not well represented at Appalachian. Less than 100 Ap­ palachian students self-identify as Hispanic. Beginning this semester, however, students will be able ex­ press their interest in Hispanic cul­ ture by joining the newly formed Hispanic Student Association (HSA). This group will allow me to make contacts and finally unite with "my peoples"—people with the same cultural background. The HSA meets Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. in the Equity Office, 123 IG Greer. A common misconception students might have about the HSA is that members have to be Hispanic or Spanish speakers. But the only requirement of HSA mem­ bership is an interest in Hispanic culture. The purpose of the HSA is to increase university awareness of the Hispanic presence on campus by sponsoring activities such as a mentorship program for Hispanic students and a Hispanic Heritage Festival. HSA is currently building a strong foundation. Yadira Valentin is the first HSA president; Melissa Robledo and I are co-vice presidents; Chantal Dennis is sec­ retary; and Monica Vega is trea­ surer. Different committees run the HSA's activities. For example, the Social Activities Committee, led by Michael Martinez, organizes club events that will allow us to share Hispanic cultural traditions. The Public Service com­ mittee will be working with the "Wesley Foundation and ACT to assist minority families in the area who need help learning English.

Similar to the HSA, the Hispanic community is comprised of many different nationalities, including Puerto Rican, Mexican, Dominican, Colombian, Cuban and Panamanian. Even though these groups of people may have been born in other parts of the world, there is still a common bond between them. Possibly sharing the same language bonds us, but I believe it's more mysterious than that. In my experience so far at Appalachian, I have not encoun­ tered racism or prejudice based on my Hispanic background. How­ ever, I have experienced the cruel and ignorant attitudes based on racism before. For example, twice before I have dated women whose par­ ents disapproved of me because of my Hispanic heritage. Their par­ ents didn't even know me person­ ally, but they judged me based on stereotypes they learned as chil­ dren. I hope the HSA and other organizations with the same goal of educating the public about other cultures can erase these stereo­ types. It's time for our voices to be heard!

Anyone who will deny these men and women, prole­ tariat and bourgeois, their right to exist are not only against cor­ porations. They are against humanity. On a side note, I will ad­ mit that corporations need to be carefully watched. The Justice Department often plays the role of watchdog. Recently, the Jus­ tice Department imposed a one million-dollar per day fine on Microsoft. Such actions are nec­ essary- in our society. These ac­ tions rid our nation "of uncon­ trolled monopolistic activity, which benefits society in gen­ eral. Getting rid or corpora­ tions, however, will give the Justice Department a light workload. Janet Reno might take up sunbathing, which means we'll all have to see Sasquatch in a bikini. Do we want that? Getting back to the point, corporations are vital to our modern society. These busi­ nesses provide us a means of survival. In essence, they have provided us life. Some of the youth of today do not and wil never understand this fact. The ignorati will continue, for the rest of their lives, to stand up against society, democracy anc humanity.

Hear what a town councilman has to say. Pamela Formuduval Staff Writer O ne Monday night three friends, I all with looks of frustration upon their faces, were sitting around trying to desperately sort through all the material for their term papers. 1 To further procrastinate in their attempt to pass their classes, the three iriends decide to hit the local bars for a tale break. Darin, Mike and Jeremy head to lie Caribbean for a little food and drink. Walking into the Carribean pro'°ked just what they were searching for— 'sense of relaxation. People were sitting found eating, drinking, having a good file. Laughter fills the air along with the in,°ke radiating from the place. The three guys go sit at a nearby e and wait to order. After a couple of minutes, the waitress appears. "What can I get you guys tonight," asked the waitress. "Uh, I'll take some wings; make 'em mild," Mike said. "Same thing," Darin said. "I want wings too, but I want them as hot as possible," Jeremy said. "Man, Jeremy, you might wanna think twice about that. Those things are pretty hot. They tore me up last time I had 'em," Darin said. "I know what I can handle," Jer­ emy said. "And besides, I eat wings all the time, and they don't do nuthin' to me." "Anything to drink with 'em wings fellas," the waitress asked. Both Mike and Jeremy order something on draft. "I want two fuzzy navels," Darin said. "I'm sorry but we don't serve mixed drinks," the waitress replied. "Why not," Darin asked. "The town of Boone doesn't al­ low for the sale of mixed drinks," the wait­ ress said. "Then, I guess, give me something on draft," Darin said. As the waitress walked away to place their orders, the guys contemplated the idea of why Boone doesn't allow for the sale of drinks by the glass. The people in the above story are real, but the situation is totally fictitious with one exception—Boone does not al­ low for the sale of liquor by the drink, more commonly known as the mixed drink. The town of Boone does not al­ low mixed drinks to be sold for several reasons. Hunter Schofield, Boone Town Council member and ASU graduate, said that the main reason lies in protecting the quality of life in Boone. "We have a very special place here (Boone). Liquor by the drink could have implications not needed or wanted. Restauranteurs are unique to Boone and create a sense of place," Schofield said. In 1993, Schofield led the effort as a student to defeat the referendum to allow liquor by the drink. Schofield said the two main groups that built an alliance to defeat the referendum were the conservative right wing and religious groups. Advocates for allowing the sale of liquor by the drink pushed the issues of convenience and tax revenue. "I don't think it's a prohibition community we are referring to, it's a qual­ ity of life issue," Schofield said. Schofield said that in addition to the quality of life issue, growth and qual­ ity of business were other big concerns. "Boone is growing too quickly and losing its identity," Schofield said. Schofield said that allowing li­ quor by the drink would bring in big busi­ nesses and make Boone just another town in America, causing Boone to lose its unique identity. Schofield said that the young population in Boone was also a safety con­ cern. He said that statistics have shown that drinking and driving arrests and fa­ talities would increase by allowing mixed drinks to be sold. Schofield said that after all the debates over the issue and the increase in money towards hiring more police, if mixed drinks were to be sold in Boone, the debate became more one of conve­ nience. Most people were just happy with what they had, he said. There has been talk of having a referendum again, but Schofield said that he is unaware of anything official. Schofield further said that if such a refer­ endum were to be introduced to the town council, he doesn't know how the new council, which takes office in December, would vote on it. If someone were to approach the Boone Town Council about a referendum to allow selling liquor by the drink in Boone, a public hearing to discuss the is­ sue would be set for 30 days later At the public hearing, arguttients for and against the issue could be voiced, and the town council would vote on hold­ ing a referendum. Holding a referendum would allow the citizens of Boone to vote on the issue. There is a three year waiting pe­ riod before the same referendum can be held again, meaning that presently some­ one could approach the Boone Town Council with this same issue. Schofield feels that if the refer­ endum were to be held again, it would be defeated by the same groups. Schofield also said that in 1993, the majority of the student population voted against allowing the sale of liquor by the drink in Boone. Without the opportunity to buy liquor by the drink, students find alterna­ tives. The majority of students find themselves spending their money at the local ABC store on Blowing Rock Rd. Ronnie Hayes, Manager of Boone ABC, said that a big chunk of his business comes from students at Appalachian. He said that students come in wide varieties, and thus buy a wide variety of liquor. Hayes said that the Boone ABC has been in the top 10 in profitability in North Carolina over the past six years. Other students make their way to Blowing Rock to frequent the bars there, where the sale of liquor by the drink is allowed. One popular hangout is Tijuana Fats'. Kirt Litton, manager of Tijuana Fats', said that most students spend any­ where from $12-25 on mixed drinks. "We have a four-drink limit, and try to make sure that customers who are intoxicated have a designated driver or that a cab is called," Litton said. Mixed drinks in Boone is an issue that has long been debated and will prob­ ably continue to be. Whether you prefer to make your drink, go elsewhere to buy it, or just drink the local brew in Boone, choose your poi­ son carefully. With laws against liquor by the drink in Boone, students have to either drive out of town or buy it by the bottle at the ABC store, (photo by Elizabeth Derks) (photo top left by Cande Honeycutt) From Russia with love: Russian businessmen visit ASU Ad"an Cho Staff Writer It is Monday, Oct. 20 1997, a 8 t autumn day.

Courbois explains that Russians "have chosen to replace Communism with a kind of Wild West capitalism that has not existed [in the United States] for 150 years." Yet, Courbois' guests look noth­ ing like cowboys. Indeed, even for tour­ ists, they are quiet and reserved. Once at the museum, they stroll cautiously past the exhibits and display cases, talking in whispers and murmurs. He explains that with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the disintegration of governmental structures and the burgeon­ ing of organized crime has made the Rus­ sian economy one of "capitalism without rules."

This weekend marks the beginning of basketball for the men as they play their first regular season game aginst Limestone Saturday night. The women will play their first game of the season against South Carolina in Varsity Gymnasium. Optimistic: First-year Lady Mountaineer Coach Barbie Breedlove takes positive approach to 1997 season Justin Griffin .'Sports Editor Youth will be the key word for the Mountaineers this season as they en­ ter the first year of the "Breedlove Era." With five returners from last year's squad that finished 16-12, First-year coach Barbie Breedlove will try to blend the experience of the returnees with seven incoming freshmen. "I consider our youth to be a strength as well as a weakness," said an enthusiastic Breedlove. "Youth brings en­ thusiasm and energy." Breedlove con­ cluded, 'Youth also brings inexperience and increases the likelihood that mistakes will be made. Expected to lead the Mountain­ eers will be sophomore Noel Dolan, who leads all returnees with 5.1 points per game along with 1.8 rebounds per out­ ing. Dolan led the Mountaineers last year in three point accuracy, hitting on 30-ofj71, good for 42.3 percent. •;4 Also bringing starting experience >Jtq the table will be Tiffany Chappel and J Beth Schoolfield. Chappel averaged 3.6 (Joints and 2.2 boards per game with her pbest game coming against East Tennessee ^State, where she picked up 14 points. ;Sehoolfield averaged two points per game, kith her top game being against UM-KanKfs City, whom she scored 13 against. Undeniably though, the bigger story is who the Mountaineers lost last Vear to graduation and this year to injury. Leading the list of losses is allconference player Meredith Thompson, who averaged 16.1 points per game and 6.8 rebounds. Also departed are 1,000 lady point scorers Andreia Hinton and Melissa Davis. Hinton averaged 11.9 points per contest while grabbing 7.5 rebounds a game. Davis averaged 10.6 points per game along with 6.9 caroms in last year's campaign. Leigh Jones, a feisty point guard from last year's team also graduated but still remains as a coach. Jones, whose 25 points kept the team in the game during last year's disapointing loss to Marshall in the Southern Conference Tournament, averaged 5.3 points per game. Injuries have also devastated the Mountaineers' roster with possible starter Erica Mathies suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament, thus ending her career. Mathies averaged 6.1 points per game, while starting in 14 of 28 games. Amy Mallette, and freshman Karma Edwards also fell victim to torn ACLs prior to the 1997-98 season. However, despite the losses, the Mountaineers will benefit in the future, if not this year from one of the better re­ cruiting clases in past years. Heading up the list of recruits is 5'9" Laura Edwards. The guard from East Rowan High in Salisbury School is a slasher type. "She has good range, she can take it to the hole, she's a good athlete, and an excellent jumper," said ex-coach Linda Robinson. Forward Karma Edwards, who will sit out the season, because of an ACL injury will eventually give the team some much needed versatillity at 5'10" also play­ ing at the guard position. Her athleticism and versatility gives her the potential to play all three guard spots in the Moun­ taineers' three guard lineup. Noel Dolan directs the Mountaineer Offense (photo by Marvin Evans) 6'1" post player Jamie Gaglieta hails from Hermitage, Tenn. "She is as fundamentally sound as a young lady can be coming in as a freshman," Robinson said of the Volunteer. The fourth of the new recruits is Danielle Probst from Elkin High School. Probst was her player of the year in her conference this past year. Also joining the Mountaineers will be Carrie Brill, a 5'10" forward from Advance, Sharonda Green a 6'2" forward from Greensboro, Natasha Lettsome, who is 61", from St. Thomas, Virgin Islands and Shirazette Timmin a Mebane native will round out the list at 5'8". With an impressive new recruit­ ing class coming in and Dolan's 42 per­ cent three-point shooting coming back Breedlove expects a strong effort from this year's team, " I want our team to play an aggressive, exciting brand of basketball," said Breedlove. "We will continue to em­ phasize an up tempo pace. We will push the ball at every opportunity. Tough manto-man defense will continue to be a benchmark for our team." ASU men look to take title from Davidson JJ Thomasson itaff Writer , Appalachian State will certainly °ne of the teams to beat in the SouthN Conference. The Mountaineers return Ulettiermen, including four starters from year's team. fbhiM ,0 lrrnen of the board: by Marvin Evans) Head Coach Buzz Peterson led Appalachian to their first double-digit win total in three years (14-14). He has brought something new to Boone, a win­ ning basketball team. Appalachian ended last year win­ ning five of their last seven games and will look to build on that momentum. The Mountaineers went 8-6 in the North Divi­ Phillips, Darner and Patterson fight for sion of the Southern Conference, finish­ ing third. The only starter not returning for Appalachian is last year's leading scorer, Junior Braswell (20.3 PPG). The AllSouthern Conference player also led the Mountaineers in minutes played, threepoint shooting, free throws, assists and steals. "Not only did we lose the point pro­ duction, but his lead­ ership, his court awareness, passing, you name it, we will really miss this year," said Peterson. Crowd favorite Jer­ emy Blocker is also gone from last year's squad. Leading the four returning starters are seniors Tige Darner and Kareem Livingston. 1997 AllSouthern Conference Tournament Selec­ tion, Darner (6'5") is the leading scorer among returning players (13.3 PPG). The guard was lethal behind the arc, con­ necting on 42 per­ cent of three pointers last year. Darner has the rebound shown his scoring ability in the exhibi­ tion games, scoring 41 points in the two games. "I think Tige is showing the lead­ ership role that Junior did last year," said Peterson. Darner is expected to lead the Mountaineer squad this season. The Preseason All-Southern Con­ ference, forward Livingston (6'7") returns a great presence down low. Livingston averaged 11.9 points per game and was second on the team in rebounding (4.8 RPG) last year. He was also second in the conference with 44 blocked shots. "They (Darner and Kareem) are going to take the leadership roles. They have a lot of experience for us, and we expect them to have tremendous years in 1997-98," said Peterson. Livingston is one of the best de­ fensive players in the Southern Confer­ ence. "He's a good shot blocker with great timing," said Peterson. Back to add a Canadian flavor to the Mountaineer squad is junior guard Blair Adderley (6'5"). He led the team in rebounding a year ago (4.9 RPG), while dishing in 8.5 points a game. The quarterback for Appalachian once again this year will be sophomore sensation Tyson Patterson (5'9"). He started 18 games as a freshman last year. Patterson averaged 4.8 points a contest and 2.5 boards a game. He also ranked second on the team in assists (107) and steals (29). "He can create problems and take people off the dribble," said Peterson. Patterson was amazingly left off the AllSouthern Conference Freshman Team last year. "Tige and Tyson don't get the re­ spect they deserve," said Peterson. The greatest addition to the Mountaineer team has to be junior col­ lege transfer Marshall Phillips (6'5"). He joins Appalachian from Hiwassee College in Madisonville, Tenn. The forward was an Honorable Mention Junior College AilAmerican Selection last year. "He's a great offensive rebounder. His presence should provide our team with more put-backs this coming season," said Peterson. "But, the biggest asset in having Marshall will be his leadership skills. Marshall is a good athlete, and has really developed for someone who has played just two years." "There are some good (new) players in the league, but I'm biased that Marshall is the best (new player)." Peterson went on to say, "Marshall has a great intensity level and raises the team's intensity." Peterson will be putting a lot of emphasis on defense this season. "I think we have to become a better team defen­ sively, maintaining a consistent defensive effort every game. I want us to be able to apply more pressure, and dictate the flow of the game with our defense," he said. Rebounding must a key concern for Appalachian. They are much improved from the days of Apke, in which the Moun­ taineers were out-rebounded by six per game. Last year, Appalachian was just out-rebounded by 0.6 a game. If the Mountaineers can out rebound their op­ ponents, they will be tough to stop. "We feel we will be a better rebounding team, and we are going to have to improve on See ASU men on page 8 �The Appalachian 13 November Page 8 All for the love of the game Special to The Appalachian The fallowing article was written by former Lady Mountaineer Lauren Romano who now resides in Los Angeles I am a testament of what the word dedication can mean. As I look back and as 1 look forward, I can't help but wonder how my life would be if I raced home at 3 p.m. everyday. Instead, I make the choice to love basketball. Some people don't understand Ahy I would rather be on a court dribfiling. * I chose that and sweating over hanging with my friends. The only an­ swer I have to that is, it's my life. This is what I dream about. The game itself, the joy of a made shot, the beauty of a great pass— that's entertainment. That's my idea of a good time. I If| This game has offered me so many j opportunities, but most recently I have had the greatest opportunity of all—a col­ lege scholarship to Appalachian State Uni­ versity in Boone, North Carolina. Not only do I get to play the game I love, but I am able to further my educa­ tion, at a place that is surrounded by the Slue Ridge Mountains. I have been offered a scholarship to an NCAA Division I college. I have al­ ways dreamed of it, but I never really thought that I would one day be telling people that I actually achieved it. However, I wish I could tell you that everything is great and the road has been easy, but everything has it's price. It used to be just a game I played for fun. I was six years old and loved play­ ing with my first Michael Jordan street ball. I bounced that ball everywhere driv­ ill H ing my parents crazy. I found that the sport came natural to me. I never wanted [ to stop playing. It became an obsession. At this tender age, all I could un­ derstand was the satisfaction I received from dribbling that ball. I was too young to know where this dribbling would take me. Years passed. Practices came and went. I remember how excited I felt at the age of nine when the phone call came that notified me that I had been selected to play as an all-star on the Biddy Basketball Team. Being part of the all-star team for four years awarded me some wonderful experiences. I met players from across the United States and Puerto Rico. I traveled to new places and played against great competition. This is where I began to re­ alize what possibilities were out there. At this age I was beginning to see that basketball would one day award me endless opportunities for my educational future. This is also where the dedication be­ gins. From the time I was nine years old I had to sacrifice for this game. When I was attending biddy practices after school and coming home around 7:30 each night to do homework, my friends were running home right after school to watch "Full House" or "Saved By The Bell." On weekends, when I was attend­ ing two practices a day and working on school projects to keep up with assign­ ments, my friends were going to birthday parties, skating parties, movies and the mall. Did I mind not going with them? 111 Sure. Sometimes I wished I could have gone too. But I knew I wanted to be on that court even more. Around my fifth grade year my parents starting looking for a new school for me. They wanted a good solid academic foundation along with a good competitive basketball program for me to continue my sport. I think the choice was easy. It was the only one they could have made. Ridgewood would of­ fer the best of both worlds. I was beside myself with excitement. The first two years at Ridgewood I played junior high basketball. I was still playing my last year of Biddy, so my sched­ ule was even more hectic. School all day, practice, practice at the playground, then home around 8 p.m. to eat and finish homework. The days became nights, which be­ came days, until before I knew it, I was entering the eighth grade and selected to play varsity. Finally, all the working and wait­ ing would pay off. Surely things were go­ ing to be more regimented, I would have more time Since I would only be playing for one team. I would have more time for my homework, more time for going out on weekends with my friends. Not so. This sport is not for everyone. It is not for the lighthearted. It is not for the pessimist. It is a sport for those who want to prove time after time that they can get better with each passing day. Practice, study, practice, study. "Can you meet us for a movie?" Not today. "Can you met us at the mall?" Not today. "Can you meet us at the park?" Not today. "Are you gong to the party Saturday night?" NOT TODAY!!! I have an 8 a.m. practice Sunday morning and we are go­ ing over some footwork late on Saturday evening. Practice, study, practice, study. High school basketball was even more demanding than the other years. When the school year ended, there were AAU and summer leagues, If I wanted to stay ahead of the rest I had to practice all year. When other high school teens were preparing for parades at Mardi Gras, I was preparing for state championships. When they're looking forward to spring breaks, I'm preparing for AAU. When they were laying around and relaxing all summer, I'm playing summer league, working out in the gyms and run­ ning in 5K races to keep up my endur­ ance. My love for the game is that pro­ found. At the beginning of my junior year the letters started to pour in. I had been receiving letters since my eight grade year, but this year was unbelievable. I received over 200 letters from coaches expressing their interest in my basketball skills. Now, besides endless hours of practice, study­ ing and community work, I had to some­ how fit in answering these colleges and keeping them informed of how my year was going. Each weekend I would sit down and answer the letters I had received that week and send with it any articles that would have appeared in the newspaper that week on how our team was doing. At the end of the month I would send an update video on some of the games we had played during the month. The letters kept coming and I tried to keep up as much as possible. LSU, Wake Forest, Duke, Memphis, College of Charleston, Appalachian State University, Baylor, Colorado, North Carolina State, Mercer, Stetson, Lehigh University, Air Force Academy and Manhattan College were a few of the colleges expressing in­ terest in me. By the end of my junior year it be­ came clear that I would have to narrow down my selections to five colleges. Many factors went into this equa­ tion—location, major intended, the uni­ versities academic credentials and at what level were the coaches recruiting me. Appalachian State University, Wake Forest, College of Charleston, LSU and Colorado emerged as my top choices. Soon after these selections a disappoint­ ment would be headed my way. Since my junior year Wake Forest had been the forerunner. They recruited me heavily. They competed in the confer­ ence I wanted to play in and they not only offered my major, but were part of the North Carolina academic credential sys­ tem. Then the WNBA happened. That was a good thing and a disheartening thing all in one. It is great that even after my college years I will have the opportunity to play professional basketball. But again at a price, for the head coach from Wake Forest accepted a coach­ ing position with the Charlotte Sting and left in early April. The new coach was from University of Connecticut and came with her own ideas of whom she wanted to re­ cruit I can understand her reasoning she had never seen me play and was not as familiar with me as she was with the other players. I am just grateful that I never, de­ pended totally on one school and that I entertained others. July 1 rolled around. That's the of­ ficial day the colleges can start calling. Col­ lege of Charleston and Appalachian, my next two choices in my top five, would be my first phone calls. I decided to accept two official vis­ its to colleges- one to the College of Charleston and one to Appalachian State University. The visits were a new experi­ ence. I was treated great! They really laid out the red carpet. The decision factor would now go into motion. The decision was easier that I had expected. It came down to loca­ tion. I've always loved the mountains, I really love the cold weather, the feeling of belonging and a chance to compete in a conference that has a record of many conference championships and NCAA bids. I look back at my high school years with joy and pride. Not just for the game I play, but for my senior class. Through all these years since the sixth grade, my classmates supported me and understood my drive. They have often changed their schedules to accommodate mine so I might join them at a movie. They have never said anything discouraging to me about my drive to perfect this game. I will always hold them close because they have been the true sense of the word, friends. They have shared my ups and downs, and have never wavered in their need to be there for me. For that I am grateful. So, soon it will be time for me to climb the mountain. Ever since I can remember I have been climbing moun­ tains. This time, through all the dedica­ tion, I might be on my way to the top. Kareem Livingston rocks the rim with a dunk against Crossfire (photo by Marvin Evans) ASU Men from page 7 (down low) alters shots. We would have only won two or three games without him," said Peterson. Three freshman join the Moun­ taineer club this year. Peterson went the local route in recruiting forward Mike Coffey (6'7") from Linville. "Mike possesses size and a strong build. He's a hard worker. He runs the floor ex­ tremely well, and gives us a post pres­ ence. He is going to become better and better as he matures," said Peterson. The top recruit of the freshman class has to be guard/forward T.J. McFadden (6'5") from Stratford, Con­ necticut. "T.J. is a very talented player. T.J. can create his own shots and op­ portunities, which is very important for us. T.J.'s versatility is a bonus for our program. He has a lot to learn as a freshman. T.J. is a pretty explosive and streaky shooter," said Peterson. Guard Daniel Isaacs (61") joins the club as a non-scholarship player from Boone. "The hardest thing for a fresh­ man is learning to play defense. They gotta have it to play," said Peterson. Juniors Ian Adams (5*11") and Paul Jones (6'6") return to the Moun­ taineer squad after seeing limited play­ ing time last year. Adams should get more time on the court this season at the guard position. Jones has suffered preseason back injuries, and it's still to be determined how much playing time he will get this year. Sophomores Kent Phillips (6'6") and Seneca Fritts (5'10") also played little last year in what had to be a year of adjustment to the college game. They should add greater depth to the Mountaineer bench. Appalachian has a "good shot" at finishing first in the North Division said Peterson. This is a feat the Moun­ taineers haven't done since 1981. Last year Appalachian handled Davidson in Boone, 82-66, and would have won at Davidson if it weren't for an extremely questionable foul call against the Mountaineers. "I think they're beatable," said Peterson of Davidson. Dick Vitale picks Appalachian to finish fourth in the North Division. "I like us picked lower, it gives usm0. tivation," said Peterson. The big difference between this year's team and last year's is ex. perience. "We've been through a year together," said Peterson. "We have to take it game by game. We must win home games, es­ pecially conference games. It takes a good team to win at home, but a great team wins on the road," said Peterson. Appalachian will have 15 games in the safe confines of Varsity Gym. Appalachian will have an in­ teresting 12 days coming at the end of January and into February. On Janu­ ary 21st they host arch-rival Western Carolina, then sue days later the Moun­ taineers travel to Davidson. Appalachian returns home to host the Wildcats just four days later and then the Mountaineers travel to Cullowhee on February 2nd to meet the Catamounts. "That's just the way the computer spits out the schedule," said Peterson. These 12 days can only intensify Appalachian's rivalry with both Davidson and Western Carolina. The Mountaineers will be competing against some stout compe­ tition this season. They will travel to the likes of Virginia and Tennessee. One of the toughest home games in years will come November 24th against UNC-Charlotte. The 49ers will bring their Top 20 ranking to Boone, but can they leave with it? The most anticipated game of the year has to be the January 17th showdown in Chapel Hill against the Dean-less Tar Heels. Why play such a tough sched­ ule? Appalachian could easily sched­ ule cupcakes to increase their win to­ tal. "The young men like the compe­ tition. This is something that Kareem and Tige will remember forever," said Peterson. "Practice is like a classroom, and the games are like the big exam, said Peterson. It's about exam time for the Mountaineers. Appalachian should score high marks this season, and you never know they might get to dance come March. -1 Men's Basketball schedule Women's Basketball schedule Limestone Nov. 15 Anderson Nov. 18 UNC-Charlotte Nov. 24 at Tennessee Nov. 28 at Virginia Dec. 2 at Winthrop Dec. 6 Montana State Dec. 9 at Tennessee State Dec. 21 Martin Methodist Dec. 30 ETSU.

Among these six, the pres­ ence of Laura Jones, Carlise Oglesby, and Spring Thompson will likely be missed the most. Oglesby, the Southern Conference's third highest scorer last sea­ son, averaged 15.9 points per game. Oglesby, Jones, and Th­ ompson combined to score over 50% of the Mocs' points last season. Michelle Hannaford and Kena Watkins, the only con­ sistent starters among the eight returning letterwinners, combined for barely 10 points per game. Perhaps the greatest threat to the Lady Mocs this season will be inexperi­ ence. A basically unseasoned and unproven squad may find it. difficult to ex­ ceed last season's twelve wins. Though the Southern Conference race may prove to be a roller-coaster ride for many teams, it's hard to foresee the Mocs finishing this season in better than sixth or seventh place. gram. While excitement has taken form in the program, the fact that the team lost four regulars from last year's squad that finished at 3-24 has placed some pressure into what will be an inexperienced, yet talented team. For the second year in a row, Head Coach David Graves has brought in a solid group of newcomers. Included in the five lost to graduation. Additional players not returning are Amy Scalcucci, Nora Kizer and Carrie Sloan. The senior class consists of Jennie Vanlerberghe, Danielle Mall and Jennifer Sanborn. Vanlerberghe is coming off a strong junior year where she put herself into the record books for blocks by a Wildcat with 97 ca­ reer blocks. She was also the team's third lead­ ing scorer last season, averaged 10.2 points per game, and was third on the team in rebounds last season averaging 4.2 per game. Sanbom, one of the team's promi­ nent three-point threats, was second on the team last season with 12. Mall enters her fourth season with the added responsiblity of being cocaptain with Jennifer O'Brien. She saw action in 25 j»ames last year averaging (2.0) points a game."Her enthusiasm and leadership have always been a large asset to the team. Adding to this season's mix is a strong junior class of Jamie Brown, Kerry Brown, and Jessica Montrella. Brown played in all games for the 'Cats last season and is coming off an ex­ ceptional sophomore year where she av­ eraged 12.3 ppg., second to Carolyn Kirsch. She was also the leader in three pointers with 17 and was among the team lead­ ers in rebounds (170), as­ sists (78), blocks (21) and steals (47). Jessica was injured for most of the season but came back strong, averag­ ing 9.3 points a game plus 4.6 rebounds per game. Kerry was also injured for most of last season, but still averaged 6.9 points per game plus 4.2 boards. 'All three jun­ iors will be a major part of our success," says Coach Filar. " They can all step up their level of play during crunch time. " If these three can stay healthy all season they will be a force in the Southern Confer­ ence." Georgia Southern's lofty goals may prove somewhat difficult to obtain, however. The Eagles enter the 97-98 schedule having lost a trio of the team's most profilic scorers. The absence of Tarsha Askew, Angelica Rivers, and Danelle Toole, who com­ bined for about 30 points per contest during last season, leaves the Eagles with a some­ what inexperienced backcourt. According to Cram, the Eagles' chances to reach elite sta­ tus in the Southern Con­ ference depend heavily upon the ability of the new guards to assume the three open roles. Juniors Rosie Arnold and Svetlana Trjeskal, who became heavy of­ fensive contributors as sophomores, are expected to fill the holes in Georgia Southern's backcourt. According to Cram, the Eagles will have no problem coping with the ros­ ter changes. "We are stronger at other positions now than we were a year ago to offset the new players who are step­ ping up" affirmed Cram. Telly Hall, an all conference forward last season and a preseason all-con­ ference pick this year, is expected to be the ace in Cram's deck this season. The senior, who brought in around 14 points and 7 rebounds per game in 1997, will play an integral role in Cram's improving post game. "We cer­ tainly will be looking from big things for [Hall]." said Cram. "She's got to be our aircraft carrier." nine top scorers will be back in action in 1997. Among these eight, Rachel Glass, Angie Fickes, Shawn Thompson, and Trenille McClellan played in the starting lineup last season. Glass, Fickes, and Heather Edmondson each scored at least 10 points a game. Without any seniors on the team, a lack of leadership may hinder the Bucs. How­ ever, many of the squad's lower classmen picked up quite a bit of seasoning dur­ ing their fresh careers. The Bucs enter this season hav­ ing lost little that they can't recompense. Andrianna Wilson, the only starter among the three players lost from last year, aver­ aged just over 11 points per con­ test. Kemp expects the the team's steady performances to carry them beyond last season's meager success. "Consistent play from everone on our team and not just one or two players will be important... " stated Kemp. "If this team is able to develop leadership and consistency, we have a really good opportunity to be one of the better teams in the Southern Conference." Kemp looks forward the even competition the Souther Conference should provide this sea­ son. She expects her young and talented to improve drastically upon last season's .214 conference win percentage. A new starting point is what Western Carolina University's new women's basketball coaching staff hopes to provide to an ex­ perienced group of re­ turning Lady Cata­ mounts. Head coach Maria Fantanarosa be­ gins her first-ever head coaching assignment af­ ter being hired last May and will have a core of nine returning letterwinners along with three impact recruits to work with for the 199798 season. "Without a winning tradition, it will be a challenge to build a consistent positive mental attitude," Fantanarosa said. "One of our short-term goals is to have the players believe in themselves and each other and be confident that their hard work wiH be rewarded with success. We're also striving to have our first win­ ning season since 1984." Returning to lead the Lady Cata­ mounts is the senior forward duo of Karen Mason (14.6 ppg, 6.3 rpg) and LaSha Jack­ son (13.6 ppg, 8.2 rpg). Both were sec­ ond team AllSouthern Conference picks last season and ranked among the league's top six scorers. Mason, a twotime all-conference selection, has already broken the 1,000 point mark for her ca­ reer and ranked fifth in the league in scor­ ing, sixth in steals, and 13th in rebound­ ing last season. Jackson, who has earnei allconference honors in both basketbal andl997-98 track 8t field, has a tremen dous second half of last season and fin ished third in the league in reboundin; and sixth in scoring and was th< conference's top rebounder against leagui competition.

The team will rely heavily on the perimeter game, using the three-point shot as the main cog in an inside/outside offense. With slashing players on the wings who can put the ball on the floor, the defense will have to decide to either pressure the ball to prevent the three or give a little to prevent penetration. Defensively the Lady Terriers will play a pressing man-to-man. Graves has instituted a full-court press that will at­ tempt to cause havoc for opponents. While the man to man will be the primary de­ fensive set the team will be able to switch to zones as situations demand a change. However, the pressing, trapping man-to­ man is what best fits the play. The schedule looks to be just challenging as last year. There are thr NCAA Tournament teams; Clemso Marshall and Harvard, on the slate. T biggest change in the schedule is the e dition of the SC schools twice a year. Wh Wofford has faced-ome of the leag members the last few years, it has not se each school twice in a season with ct ference implications. In a league where "parity" has become the unofficial conference moni­ ker, Georgia Southern's Lady Eagles prob­ ably aren't terribly concerned with any preaseason polls. But neither are many of their con­ ference-mates. Ask any coach; the Southern Con­ ference Women's Championship, though still months from being awarded, could be taken home by any of a number of schools. According to second-year Eagles' coach Rusty Cram, his is among the half dozen programs that could rise to the top of the Southern Conference. "Like about five or six other teams, we hope to be knocking heads to win [the conference championship]" said Cram. East Tennessee State Universtiy 1996-'97 Record: 11-17 1997-'98 Predicted Finish: fifth Perhaps no team so aptly illus­ trates the even-handedness of the South­ ern Conference as East Tennessee State. ETSU finished its conference schedule at only 3-11. Seeded eighth in the conference tournament, the Lady Bucs rallied behind guard Heather Edmondson's 14 points to eliminate the top seeded Furman Palladins. Having earned a preseason fifth place ranking, ETSU Coach Karen Kemp hopes to dish out a few more upsets this year. "It's not impossible for a fifth place team to beat a first place team," said Kemp. "We proved that last year."

The return of Quarles will also add needed depth and defensive quickness to the backcourt. However, one missing piece from last year's team is Maurice Spencer who graduated. Spencer was a formidable part of VMI's offense, chipping in 15 points per game. One problem­ atic area for the Keydets could be a lack of experienced post players. There will be very little help for 6'9" Eric Mann, who Bellairs speaks very highly of. "Mann is the most improved player and tough to guard," he said. With VMI's small stature, look for them to play the up-tempo game. Also returning for VMI are four starters from last year's team, including Aaron Demory, Darryl Faulkner and Mann. Demory started 24 games as a freshman last year. He is one of the best athletes on the team and has the ability to turn in big plays that can lift a team. The senior leader for the Keydets will be preseason All-Conference selection Faulkner. He averaged 14.8 points a con­ test last season, including 30 against Davidson. He should handle the point guard duties with Quarles. Faulkner is a versatile player who could see action at both point and shooting guards. Jason Bell, who chipped in 11.4 points per contest for the Keydets also re­ turns. He showed the form last season which made him a true leader and could contend for All-Conference honors this season. The new recruits for VMI are Nick Richardson, Aaron Trombley and Richard Bruce. As for how they will finish the regular season, Bellairs warns, "Don't bet against us." "My concerns about this team are our lack of size and rebounding," said Hopkins. The Catamounts are missing four of their top six scorers from a year ago, including Scott Scholtz (9.2 ppg) who was also the team's leading Western Carolina looks to get rebounder (5.7 back to their form of two years ago, which rpg).

The senior power forward, Jarvis Graham will have to pick up his offensive performance from a year ago (6 ppg). At 6'7", he's the tallest Catamount.

Another positive they hope to carry over from last season is the play of sophomore Ryan Wilson (6'9"). Wilson was selected to the all-freshman squad last year. The Bucs' center averaged 10.3 points a game while grabbing 5.6 boards. A surprise from last season was the play of walk-on, Gabe Lisicky (6'0"). Lisicky knocked down 36 three pointers for ETSU last season. Navy transfer Greg Stephens, should help out at the guard position. They hope to improve from their 7-20 season of a year ago. But East Ten­ nessee State Head Coach Ed DeChellis said, 'There's no guarantee we're going to win seven. Everybody starts out at zero. But you're disappointed if you don't win more (than the previous year)." "We're not dwelling on die nega­ tive. We rebounded well last year. We out rebounded our opponents on occa­ sion. We are trying to push the ball more and play better defense (this season)," said DeChellis. ETSU gets a break this season with an easier non-conference schedule than in years past. They open with their first two games on the road, against Vanderbilt and Michigan State. They also play at Virginia Tech. The Bucs campaign could be a bumpy ride, but as they showed last year anything can happen on any given night. 1997-98 will be a season of learning and gaining experience for this young Bucca­ neer squad. Virginia Millitary Institute 1996-'97 Record: 11-17 1997-'98 Predicted Finish: third N VMI should have all the pieces in line this year to compete with ASU and Davidson as junior stand out Brent Conley will return after a semester off. The Keydets will also return junior Andre Quarles who also was forced to take a semes­ ter off. Conley and Quarles were both sus­ pended last winter for violat­ ing military regulations. Without Conley, a gaping hole was left in VMI's offense and re­ bounding. "Conley was everybody's every­ thing," said VMI Coach Bart Bellairs. 'The glass was half full without him. When you put Conley in the glass, it's a big splash."

They were the only team in the conference to defeat both Chatta­ nooga and Marshall. This shows that on any given night they can play with any­ body in the conference. Four starters return for the Bucs from last year's team. However, ETSU still lacks the experience needed to win in the Southern Conference. They return eight lettermen, but only one senior, Troy Seymour (6'3").

First of all, they lost their head Coach Mack McCarthy, the winningest coach in Moc history. Taking over the reigns in Chattanooga is long-time assis­ tant, Henry Dickerson. Along with their coach, the Mocs also lost three starters, Willie Young, Chris Mims and Southern Conference Player of the Year, Johnny Taylor. Taylor was a firstround draft pick of the Orlando Magic. The three combined for 41 points and 17.5 rebounds a game last year, a big chunk of the Mocs' offense. In all, Chattanooga lost their top four scorers and top three rebounders from last year. However, the Mocs do return jun­ ior forward Isaac Conner, the team's lead­ ing returning scorer (7.5 ppg) and rebounder left from last season (3.7 rpg). The 6'6" forward is a good perimeter shooter, but will have to increase his scor­ ing output this season. Former 5'10" walk-on Wes Moore Hopkins went the junior college route and brought in guards, Paul Cuthbertson (6'2") and Derrick Drummond (6'3"). "A key will be how quickly and how much our new players contribute," said Hopkins. Catamount fans don't want to see one thing that oc^ curred last season, being beaten by the Mountaineers three times . Hopkins went on to say, "I think we can compete for the championship if we can do a solid job on the backboards." Western Carolina will need more offensive output from players that haven't produced in the past. Their production will determine whether the Catamounts have a successful season. will continue to quarterback the Mocs this The Mocs also recruited some year.

"He does a good job of intimidating inside, not only blocking shots but changing shots." said Bulldog Coach Pat Dennis. Misyuchenko led the team in re­ bounding and is the school's alltime leading shot-blocker in a ca­ reer with148, in a season, with 83, and in a game, with 10 last year against Wingate. The talent also appears to be there for Citadel Coach Pat Den­ nis as Newman and Virgil Stevens were preseason All-Conference se­ lections. This year's squad will be deeper, more experienced and will have the best chance for success that any Bulldog team has had in years. Newman, who had 12.7 points and 6.7 rebounds per game last year, will more than likely end up handling most of the action in the middle. Stevens, a 6'5" junior for­ ward, is the team's leading returning scorer, having averaged 14.4 points a game last season. Jamie Jenkins will also add needed talent at the guard position. The senior 6'1" guard averaged 11.6 points per game and was last year's sixth man for the Bulldogs. Jenkins hit 49 threepointers last year. For The Citadel to be suc­ cessful this year, the back court is going to have to improve which Dennis knows all too well.

But ask the coach yourself, and he will tell you he feels like it's a whole new ballgame. "For the first two years, we survived and advanced," ad­ mitted Polinsky. "Now, we can look to re-establish the winning tradi­ tion here at Georgia Southern." From the moment he ar­ rived in Statesboro, Polinsky had his eyes set on rebuilding.

Students rebuild after fire destroys four apartments Beth Bliss News Editor The apartments and belongings of two Appalachian State Uni­ versity students and two other residents were lost last week in a fire, described by Watauga County Assistant Fire Chief Steve Suddreth as "a total loss." No injuries were reported. However, tenants Brian Tuttle, Kemp Ellington, Kurt Litton and Amy Blaser lost their apartments and most of their possessions as a result of the fire. Tuttle and Ellington are currently enrolled at Appalachian and lost everything from clothes and furniture to books and school sup­ plies. The emergency report of a fire at 789 Howard's Creek Road, Meat Camp, came in at approximately 11:49 p.m. last Wednesday, and emergency personnel arrived approximately 10 minutes later, said Suddreth. The fire was extinguished by approximately 3:30 a.m., when Suddreth arrived on the scene. The fire engulfed a building that housed English Gardens, Ltd., a grounds keeping company, and four apartment units privately owned but managed by PSI of Boone. The fire started due to malfunction of a single wall metal flue pipe attached to a dual fuel stove, said Suddreth. "It couldn't take the heat," he said. Tuttle said he and fellow residents kept a fire burning in the stove to maintain heat in the apartments above and to lower electricity see Fire on page 2 — Displayed wreck promotes drunk driving awareness Blood Drive A blood drive sponsored by Ap­ palachian State University's Public Re­ lations Student Society of America is planned for Nov. 12, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the student union's Grand­ father Mountain Ballroom.

The emergency blue light system was recently put to the test by Appalachian State University students interested in testing and maintaining campus safety. Members of the Student Govern­ ment Association's Student Affairs Com­ mittee measured the reaction time of the University Police during an emergency situation. Determining whether the blue lignts actually worked also served as a driving force for the experiment, said committee head Stacy Bern. The groups chose to perform the test on the blue light on the trail behind Eggers Residence Hall, Bern said. Committee representatives acti­ vated the phone and announced an emer­ gency to the answering officer, Bern said. After receiving the call, with no de­ tails or location given, the police reached the scene within five minutes. 'They came from State Farm in all directions, with back-up," Bern said. "It looked like a real police scene." see Lights on page 2 Major League Baseball talk hits ASU campus Sherrie Huffman Da:r n ' Glass: H Katie Ward ood ^Urt'ler t^le School of Music's drive for the Watauga County n?cr Coalition. • 0 Get in Touch I Staff Writer Faculty Night Out Appalachian State University's nhellenic Council invites faculty •"embers to participate in its fourth annual Faculty Night Out, Nov. 15.

Beaver wants to relocate the team to North Carolina. Solomon said the pos­ sibility seems feasible because Twins' at­ tendance has dropped, and the owner is ready to sell. Solomon hopes a North Carolina baseball team will attract more fans than the recently acquired Carolina Panthers. "Baseball games are more family-centered and more affordable than football," he said. "The average family will be able to afford a baseball game easily, and the chance of getting a seat at a baseball game is far greater than trying to get a seat at a Panthers game." see League on page 2 ... . , 0 . .. v Michael Solomon discusses the demographics of a major league t e a m ' n North Carolina (photo by Marvin Evans) �The Appalachian ll Kwr Page 2 League from page 1 Fire from page 1 costs. He had checked the stove at approximately 11 p.m. Wednesday, and although the flume seemed a little hot, he said it was nothing he thought deserved urgent atten­ tion. Tuttle left to relay the situa­ tion to the building's owner, and when he returned, the building had caught on fire. "When I turned on Howard's Creek Road, I could see it," he said. Tuttle's apartment had been the first to catch fire. Another resi­ dent had heard his smoke alarm and had called the fire depart­ ment, he said. Community support began the night of the fire, Tuttle said. A representative of Boone's Hampton Inn had driven past the fire scene and had stopped to of­ fer each tenant free lodging for as long as he or she needed it. "That was above and beyond anything they could have done," Tuttle said. Tuttle said he has also re­ ceived food vouchers from Mom's Restaurant and gift certificates from Wal-Mart, which he used to buy personal hygiene items. He has also received bags of clothes, from friends and from members of the community. Both Tuttle and Ellington looked for new places to live. Nei­ ther has taken advantage of the PSI offer to find them another apartment; both said the new apartments offered dare not equal in quality to those in the other building. Tutde has opted to move on campus and pay a prorated fee for the remainder of the semester. Ellington said he is currendy looking for an apartment and will remain at the Hampton Inn until he finds a new place to live. Both Tuttle and Ellington are unsure if they will receive com­ pensation for their losses. Ellington said his belongings were insured through his parents' homeowners insurance. "Hopefully that will pay for my stuff," Ellington said. The Watauga County chap­ ter of the American Red Cross has also offered support to Tuttle, The proposed MLB sta­ dium site is in the triad area of the state, between the cities of Winston-Salem, High Point and Greensboro. Solomon said the stadium would be in a geographicallyideal location. The area's population to­ tals more than 6.5 million and it is the largest United States popu­ lation base without access to a major league franchise, Solomon said. The triad area is also home to the seventh largest television market and the 11th largest ra­ dio market in the United States, so broadcast coverage would be abundant, according to Solomon. Ellington, and the other victims. Executive Director Sonny Sweet said anyone "burnt out" in a total loss fire is offered immediate as­ sistance from the Red Cross. Fire victims are offered vouchers for clothing and food from area retailers, said Sweet. Monetary support comes from the Red Cross' Jeremy Dell Fisher Memorial Fund, which rec­ ognizes the 1996 fire death of an ASU graduate. Red Cross efforts to foster community support supplement this assistance, said Sweet. "We serve as a focus point for members of the community who want to contribute other items, such as fur­ niture or household items," he said. The process has already gathered several donations. "Once a community hears of a tragedy, all types of good things happen," said Sweet. Anyone who wants to con­ tribute furniture, clothing or any school-related item may contact the Red Cross at 264-8226. Though the officers were slightly disgrunded when they dis­ covered it was a false alarm, they responded in a polite, understand­ ing manner, said Bern. "We were really impressed with the officers, and we want to give them recognition for their re­ sponse," Bern said. "We do not want them to feel as if they answered the call for nothing," she said.

For a long time,lots in front of Lovill and Halls were blocked by the bulky and smelly tonnage of construction vehicles and debris. The stink has now moved up the road, as the lot ad­ jacent to Cone and Coffey Halls now hosts the construction junk. This creates serious problems j^r people who depend on parking spaces within fois lot. This affects not only students on week­ ends, but also faculty and staff who commute during the week. Not all students have cars, but many do. Others also have vehicles to park in the limited spaces. Resident Directors, for example—have | foeir cars on campus in some of these smaller j0ts. With the lack of parking, many RDs have ! found their spaces stolen. The continuous roofing project is not the root of problems on the east side of campus. Space was limited even before this mess began; only a few coveted (legal) parking spaces exist in an area filled with eight residence halls. The problem with parking has most re­ cently been exacerbated on the east side of cam­ pus because certain faculty lots, notably the lot beside East Hall, have been kept closed on the weekends. Do the faculty have classes to teach on the weekend that we don't know about? The extreme demand for these spots and the ongoing construction find many people who have paid for assigned spots on this side of cam­ pus out of luck. With cars lining Locust St. in front of Lovill and East Halls, it's almost impossible to squeeze a car through the virtual pile of cars, much less the intended two lanes of traffic for the road. It's irresponsible and rude for students, visitors, or whoever to park on Locust St. due to the parking problem on campus. If you can't find a lined parking space, haul your car to some place you can. If you're unloading from the weekend . trip, try to make it quick so others may have a chance to do the same. A touch of irony in the parking episode is that directly in front of the center of the lot, placed prominently on a big dumpster, is a sign that says something to the effect of, "Do not park in cen­ ter of lot; towing enforced." So much for that idle threat! Students must walk in the middle of the road because cars are parked on one side of the road, while trucks are haphazardly parked on the sidewalk on the other side. Do students need he­ licopter shuttles to class? This is a big problem for students and fac­ ulty alike, not only because it inconveniences them, but also because they pay money for those spaces. People are also getting tickets and towed for parking illegally, but what else are they sup­ posed to do? Many would rather face the ticket dian park in the stadium lot and walk home in die dark. Hoey We have addressed this problem before, we know it has gotten worse. Are we going to have to have a bad accident where a student dies or gets hurt, before something is done? thinking ahead is the key to prevent problems ft the future.

"Just ignore it and it will go away." -John Lydon Here at Appalachian, we college students oc­ casionally do have something most people only dream about—free time. Of course it's usually at 1 a.m., but hey, it's still time to do whatever you want. When that time rolls around most nights, I'm sitting in my room with a glazed look on my face, mumbling chem­ istry equations. Rather than go anywhere, it's easy to hit the old remote and watch some good old fash­ ioned violence. No, I'm not talking about boxing or even pro wresding; I'm talking about talk shows. I'll admit it—I like talk shows. Instead of shelling out $75 for some pay-per-view extravaganza that goes direcdy to Don King, I can turn on Jerry Springer, Sally Jesse Raphael, or Geraldo and see real, live action violence. Some of these shows make the Ultimate Fighting Championship look like playing hopscotch with Barney and pals. Just today, I sat down at lunch to watch my daily (sometimes, twice daily) dose of Big Daddy Jerry. Springer is my hero. This man believes he is doing a service to the public—and he actually is. He makes live violence available to the grass-roots, poorcollege student population. The reason I like Springer the best is that he cares. Sally Jesse seems a bit re­ moved; Geraldo is obnoxious; and Montel just has depressing topics. But Jerry does more; he actually talks down to his guests who are complete and total psychopaths. An example of this glorious display of chutz­ pah (Springer is Jewish; that's definitely what it is) happened just last week. This guy and his wife were on the show; the topic was something about men who abuse their wives. This poor excuse for a male actually started to beat his wife on live television. Near the end of the show, Jerry told the guy that if he ever found out that the man hit his wife again, he would turn the tape over to the authorities. When has Sally Jesse or Geraldo ever done that? Jerry doesn't preach to people; he doesn't moralize or shove his views down viewers' throats; he just tells it like it is and then gives his own point of view. He asks questions to guests in a manner that even makes a serial killer seem like a rational human being. It's truly an amazing feat of interview­ ing technique. But anyway, back to the violence. In the past few years, violence on talk shows has been getting stale. People would just use their hands, and occa­ sionally their feet, to limply strike at their unfaithful spouse, significant other or one night stand. In the past year, however, Springer guests have taken the violence to a new level. No longer feeble slaps or punches, these people resemble contestants in a dog­ fight. Biting, scratching, spitting, and even throw­ ing shoes and chairs make The Jerry Springer Show better than WCW Monday Nitro. The beautiful thing is, most of the time you can predict when someone is going to get nailed. Whenever Jerry says, "Let's welcome Bobby (or who­ ever the next guest is) to the show!", you know that the new guest is going to walk out, get in another guest's face, spew insults at them, and then try to rearrange their face. Ah, the joys of television. I'm sure the question some of you are asking is, "So why does this guy like watching The Jerry Springer Show?" The answer is easy; it's a socially acceptable way of venting my pent-up frustrations accumulated throughout the day. If you've just failed a mid-term and your professor verbally reduced you to the size of a turnip in front of the whole class, just flip on the tube. There you have live action violence to soothe your angered mind. Imagine the insulting professor's face is actually the face of the pimp who got mangled by an angry customer. It works; trust me. One last gem about the show that I love is called the Final Thought. After the last commercial, Jerry turns the camera on him and gives a brief syn­ opsis on what we've learned from watching the past hour's festivities. He explains the many diverse is­ sues in a way that's easy to understand and compre­ hend. The Final Thought is something you can take with you; a veritable nugget of wisdom for the masses. The only complaint I have about an other­ wise great talk show is the bleeping. Yes, I'm talking about that annoying loss of sound whenever studio executives think a comment made by one oi the guests is too offensive for our delicate ears. On some shows, it's like watching a silent movie most of the time; guests are spouting sailor-like profanities so quickly the bleep-man has to hold the button down for 45second stretches. It gets old real quick. But, aside from the bleep action, The Jerry Springer Show is a great television experience. It's on Channel 7 at 12 p.m.and again at 1 a.m. So the next time you've got free time to toss around, turn yourself on to Jerry. You might be surprised how much you like venting your anger in a socially ac­ ceptable manner. Aggression won't get people's attention Patrick Fitzsimons Columnist The recent protest at McDonald's has drawn many eyes towards vegetarianism. The reactions of meat-eaters has been rather defensive. Who's to blame them? Members of PAL (People for Animal Liberation) held up signs which read, "Does Your Food Have a Face?" and "Meat is Murder." This, I feel, was not a responsible way to share personal beliefs. When taking an offensive front, the other is bound to act in a defensive manner. Due to the very com­ manding stance which PAL took, more negative en­ ergy has gathered between many meat-eaters and vegetarians. I would guess that most members of PAL ate meat for the majority of their lives. Why not be understanding of people who have different eat­ ing habits than you currently do? This is not to say that one shouldn't share her or his beliefs, but in­ stead, to do it with tolerance. My ancestors sustained themselves on crops and fish. Who's to say that this is an unjust way of living? These people took from the earth what they needed, no more. The production offish today, how­ ever, is sickening. Ecosystems are thrown off whack, so that tuna may be canned and sent to grocery stores all over the world. Consumers eat it up, without much thought. We are detached from the production of what we buy, and it's easier that way. We do not witness the cutting down of rain forests. We don't witness this ecocide of animals and plants, so that cattle may graze, only to become McDonald's prod­ ucts. These living beings are given no respect, and are treated in a barbaric manner. This vicious cycle of supply and demand keeps corporations, like McDonald's, in business. Mass production equals over consumption. This way of living will not sustain us for much longer. A group named Beyond Beef provides us with some valuable information: "One-third of all grain grown in the world is fed to cattle and other livestock. Enough grain to give every man, woman and child on earth a cup of grain a day now goes to livestock." Instead, one billion people suffer from hunger and malnutrition. We consumers usually don't see these people, unless flashed across the TV screen in a 15 second ad. If we grew crops on the land now grazed by cattle, we could feed the world. In addition to the problems discussed, beef production contributes to the creation of deserts, the pollution of air and water and global warming. Within each person is an influential power; the power to choose. One simple thing which all of us can do is to step aside from the destruction going on, and think about what is happening in the world around you. We are all a part of this web, and we all have a place. Are you going to help pull the web together or to help bring it down? When we make choices, we often affect the web. Collectively, we make a difference. I've heard many people groan because they don't have much influence anyway, so why should they do something positive. This is a troubling attitude, yet it seems to permeate our society. People must accept the power that they possess, and move forward with the pride that comes with positive action. Importantly, one must confront others with respect, reflecting self-respect. If the ego reaches that tongue, hold it back, be quiet and breathe deeply. Openness to all kinds of people and ideas is essen­ tial. Proceed in a peaceful manner; this is the only way. People who viewed the McDonald's protest may have overlooked these facts as well as the un­ derlying truth. The challenge then must not be cen­ tered on people's diets, but on the wrongs of McDonald's and similar industries. This should have been done with smiles, not scowls. Who enjoys be­ ing scowled at?

Brian and Eric, two of my friends, Skateboarding has gone through i E Boarding in Boone ain't bad Nathan Hall Staff Writer The sharp, annoying ring of a cordless phone interrupts the dull hum of noise outside the room. "Nate, you awake?" "Yeah Jason, what's up?" "Let's go out skating." "Sure, where do you want to go? It's really cold outside and sort of driz­ zling." "I don't know, I'll pick you up and we'll figure it out later." Skating in Boone can be frustrating at times. The pavement is rough, the good spots are few, and fellow skaters fre­ quently move on to greener pastures. However, on a good day when the weather cooperates, a day spent skating with good friends can make living in Boone almost gratifying. Perhaps this is because skaters in Boone are often more open and friendly than skaters in bigger towns. No one re­ ally cares what kind of board a person rides, or what shoes they wear. Skateboarding, contradictory to what ESPN and MTV force down Genera­ tion X's throat, is not a competitive sport. It's not about winning competitions, or proving who is the "best skater in the world." It's about having fun. It seems, though, that many skat­ ers, especially in larger cities have forgot­ ten this. They have forgotten why they started in the first place. Most skaters really don't even see skateboarding as a sport, rather more like an art. The way a person skates often re­ flects that person's feelings and basic per­ sonality. Skating offers a temporary escape from personal troubles. It can be a posi­ tive way to deal with anger or frustration. Trying to clear a big gap or set of stairs may be done just for fun, or it may be a person's way of dealing with pain. Skating can also be an expression of joy. And that happiness is often shared with friends. Skating is more popular now than it has been in many years, and millions of dollars are being poured into it by large corporations. It won't last much longer, though. Soon all the money will go elsewhere, and skaters will have to return to their roots.

Far right: Hostess Nicole Quigley love talks with Will Stoneham in the audience at Tradwinds Cafe. Chuck's Miserable Rotten Life by Chuck Cundiff "So, there's this new guy in my biology class and he's really cute! The only thing is, I have no data on him. Is he single? Fun? Into girls? I'm usually not shy but when it comes to approaching guys, I'm a total mute. What's your advice?" Ever felt this way? Well, you're not the only one so don't sweat it. When you've pulled out all the stops and it's time to go in for reinforcements call WASU'Love Talk' every Wednesday night from 9 to 10 p.m. You may ask what Love Talk is exactly. Well, it's the easi­ est, fastest, and most entertaining way to find the answers to all of your questions on love, relation­ ships and ways to approach that guy sitting next to you in bio-chem. William T. Griffin, a senior from Wilson and one of the show's hosts, was one of the main initia­ tors of the show. "I don't know why I thought I should do a love and re­ lationships talk show because I don't really have any real back­ ground in it. I'm not a psychology major. I'm not any sort of expert. I'm not even a player or a pimp," says Griffin. 'Love Talk' got its begin­ nings after a successful test run as a special topic for another show. The program originally started when Griffin was called to fill in for 'Public Affairs', another program at The App. When trying to decide on a topic for that week, Griffin, along with 'Love Talk' director, Angie L. Patterson, co-host of the show, Nicole E. Quigley, and Vaki I. Karampourniotis, decided on the topic of love and relationships. After all, everyone knows some­ thing about love or has had some­ thing to say about the matter. The response they had was overwhelming. It turned out that there were actually a lot of NO, r tu^T oJANTtD to ' HAVE PROOF THAT I ' D ACTUALLV HAD SEX ONCE.' people out there with questions. They then decided that it would be a great idea to have the show on a regular basis. Thus 'Love Talk' was born. The show is now broad­ cast live from Tradewinds with producer Josh D. Mead, a.k.a. "Jake Man" and co-hosts Taylor Griffin and Nicole Quigley along with two counselors from the Counseling Center, Dr. Denise Glassman and Mrs. Lisa Ogden. The show is great public­ ity for the radio station and is also a good outreach for the counsel­ ing center. "I think that Love Talk is a good thing because it helps stu­ dents and allows them to ask ques­ tions in a variety of ways. You can use the private booth, call in, or even e-mail," says Ogden. Griffin says that most of the questions are about typical guy/girl problems, but occasion­ ally they do get some unique ones. People have also discovered their cheating boyfriends and girlfriends after hearing them on the show. To have all of your ques­ tions answered, come grab a cup of coffee at Tradewinds Wednes­ day night, call 264-4905 during the show, or e-mail at LOVE TALK. Not only can you have your questions answered from re­ liable sources but you can also be entertained in the process. NEED CASH?

In the previous 12 meetings be­ tween the two squads, the Mountaineers had claimed 11 wins, but only by an aver­ age scoring margin of 6.8 points per game. Appalachian's offense scripted a new chapter in the history books, reeling off 487 total yards, as the Mountaineers downed the Keydets 42-7, amidst the cold and rain at Alumni Memorial Field in Lex­ ington, Va., Saturday afternoon. The 42-point effort marked the most points ever tallied by an Appalachian squad since the series began in 1976. The previous high-mark of 35 points was set during the 1993 season. A squad that has outscored their opponents 83-14 over their past two out­ ings, Appalachian (6-3, 5-2) wasted little time posting numbers on the board. : On the Mountaineers' opening drive, senior tailback Gerard Hardy broke off a 71-yard touchdown run, as he streaked down the right sideline past the VMI Cadet Core and sent ASU to a 7-0 lead, with 11:28 remaining in the open­ ing quarter. "The play helped set the tone for the rest of the game for us," Hardy said. "When you get a play the way we scored on that play, it is a big emotional lift for a team." The Appalachian defense continued their solid play of late. Senior linebacker Earl Hunter set up the next Mountaineer score, as he picked off his first pass of the year, off an errant heave from Keydet quarterback A1 Lester. ASU quarterback Bake Baker marched his troops down the field from the ASU 45-yard line on a four-play drive capped off by another Hardy touchdown run. This time it was a 12 yard scamper into the end zone, giving Ap­ palachian a 14-0 lead after the first period of play. : The Mountainerers wil return to Boone Saturday to face Western Carolina at 1 p. m. (photo by Robert Parriott) f The Mountaineer offense fash­ ioned an aggressive style of play through­ out the first half, despite their early first quarter success against the Keydet de­ fense.

VMI's offense struggled to gain yards on ASU's defense, led by freshman Corey Hall, who recorded a game-high nine tackles, Reaves benefited from the increased playing time. The freshman signal-caller hit on six-of-12 passes, for 68 yards, and one touchdown on the af­ ternoon. The Co­ lumbia, S.C. native added 10 yards rush­ ing on the afternoon. "It was great to get a little playing time," Reaves said. "This is Bake's (Baker) year and it is great to get in there after a week of practice. It has been very beneficial to me. Bake has helped me so much this year. I just try to sit back and learn the little things from him." Reaves most impressive series of the contest came during the late stages of the third-quarter. Reaves took the Appalachian of­ fense down the field on a 2:37 drive, cov­ ering 55 yards on five plays, capped off by a 35-yard touchdown connection to junior tight end Frank Leatherwood that put the Mountaineers ahead 42-7. "I've been really pleased with David (Reaves)," said Moore. " We were able to do more things with him. We ran the option and he threw a touchdown pass. We were able to play him in the second quarter, we've not done that be­ fore. I think he played real well. Several other freshmen in addi­ tion to Reaves and Hall put up big num­ bers in the win for Appalachian. Freshman wide receiver Daryl Skinner brought in three passes for 82 yards on the afternoon, including a 68 yard touchdown pass from Baker in the second quarter. Freshman running backTerrence McCall posted 49 yards of total offense "A squad that has outscored their op­ ponents 83-14 over their past two out­ ings, Appalachian (6-3, 5-2) wasted little time posting numbers on the board." fourth and goal from the two-yard line, as Baker called his own number and snuck across the goal line on the keeper, giving the Mountain­ eers a 21-0 advantage. After the Mountaineers increased their lead to 28-0 heading into haiftime, it appeared as if Ted Cain's VMI squad was whipped. However, on the opening play of the second half, Keydet kickoff specialist Mike Harris booted an on-sides kick, which was recovered by Darius Jackson at the VMI 47-yard line, setting up the lone B a k e r score of the afternoon for the Keydets. connected Freshman flanker Richard Hol­ on seven- land capped off the four-play, 53-yard o f - e i g h t drive, by breaking off a 24-yard scoring passes for run with 13:39 remaining in the third 145 yards quarter, cutting the Appalachian lead to t h r o u g h 28-7. the first Baker reentered the game for the q u a t e r - opening drive of the second half, and and-a-half found paydirt for the second time of the of play, contest, as his two-yard run capped a 69 y i e l d i n g yard scoring drive, stretching the Moun­ to taineers lead to 35-7.

They were even more impressive against Longwood, with 24 shots on goal and 17 penalty corners. Suzanne Fawsett scored two goals in that game, both coming in the first half after Blackwell found Fabretti for the team's first goal. Menkveld scored her second goal of the tournament with just 50 seconds remaining in the con­ test. 'This was a great game for us," Burleson said. We felt that if we beat Davidson, then we could go in and beat Longwood. But while we domi­ nated in spurts against Davidson, we dominated the whole game against Longwood." As the Mountaineers get set to start their recruiting sea­ son, they will have to offset the loss of seven seniors, five of which were starters.

Witnesses said senior Jeffrey L. Jor­ dan was riding his bike down Howard Street at around 12:20 p.m., when a car on Brown Street attempted to pull out. Shelly P. Lee was trying to see around the corner for any traffic when Jordan hit the front end of Lee's car, ac­ cording to witnesses. Jordan hit the windshield and landed on his back on the road. He was not wearing a helmet. Seniors Joel Brantham and Scott Fields were two eyewitnesses to the acci­ dent. Both were walking home from class when they saw Jordan hit the car. "I saw him slam on (his) brakes and try to avoid the car," said Brantham. Fields said, The bike looked like it stood up and he went over the handle­ bars." Fields directed traffic while Brantham made sure that Jordan was all right. The driver, Lee, immediately went to a local house to call for help. Jordan was taken to Watauga Medi­ cal Center and remains there with several injuries, including torn lung, kidney and liver tissue and internal bruises. Jordan's roommate, senior Travis Bailey said Jordan's lung collapsed in the accident but was later reinflated. Bailer also said that when Jordan gets out of the hospital he will have to stay in the ASU infirmary for at least 12 days. Jordan is supposed to graduate in December and missed an exam Thesday, according to his roommate. Sergeant Vines of the Boone Police Department said Lee was issued a citation for safe movement. Safe movement in­ volves the stopping, starting and turning of a vehicle. Vines said Jordan could also be cited and assessed a $50 fine for viola­ tion of the town's policy on wearing hel­ mets. Jordan has not been issued the fine, as of Wednesday. Grad student pursues cemetery restoration An accompanying article on the history of the Boone Town Cemetery appears in today's Campus Life Section. Beth Bliss News Editor State funds allocated for use by Ap­ palachian State University cannot be used to fund a graduate student's cemetery res­ toration project, according to Vice Chan­ cellor of Business Affairs Jane Helm. Graduate student Adam Bliss of Boone recently approached the university officials seeking financial support for his efforts to clean and restore Boone Town Cemetery, located directly behind Cone Hall, where many promi­ nent figures in Boone history are buried. But uni­ versity money cannot be of­ fered for a cleanup of pri­ vate land. Helm said, "There are a group of trust­ Bliss ees for the cemetery. A family buys a plot on the cemetery. It's privately owned." "We can't take state-appropriated funding and put it into pri­ vate property," said Helm. As far as Helm knows, Appalachian has never been involved with the cemetery despite its proximity to cam­ pus. Helm and other ASU officials have encouraged Bliss to seek academic grants to fund his project. "The school could provide some kind of grant for an aca­ demic project, but we can't take student money and put it into private property," Helm said. University Provost Harvey Durham said he of­ fered to help Bliss in his search for funding.

Foster said radar and qualified per­ sonnel have been accessible for several years, but the department has never fol­ lowed through with plans to use it. Recent approval from Vice Chancel­ lor of Business Affairs Jane Helm gave officers the final initiative to begin using the radar equipment. Continuous reports of dangerous conditions make Rivers Street a prime spot for police cars. Foster said, "With the amount of foot traffic on Rivers Street, it's danger­ ous to speed." "One of the major (concerns) is safety for walking students," he said. Cars equipped with radar detectors will also be used on other university streets, because the problem is not exclu­ sive to Rivers Street, said Foster. "It's always been a problem," he said. "Twenty-five miles per hour is a hard speed limit to maintain. It's been a problem ever since they put the speed limit at 25," said Foster. Foster said the university-wide speed limit has not changed over the Housing priority policy to change Leslie Hitchcock Staff Writer University Police officers have new patrol cars, and they will soon monitor speeds on university streets (photo by Elizabeth Derks) course of his 25 years of service with Ap­ palachian. Students caught speeding should not expect a light fine from the univer­ sity. Rather, citations will be issued in accordance with North Carolina state law. "We don't set the rules and regulations," Foster said. Foster explained that drivers caught speeding on university roads face the same fines as those clocked by state troopers. Offenders will be asked to pay the ticket or may follow proper appeal proce­ dures. Radar detection is not aimed solely at students. Foster said any motorist breaking the speed limit will be stopped and issued a citation. Foster could not give an exact date for project implementation, but said ra­ dar-equipped officers are definitely in the university's near future and that all driv­ ers should be cautious when on univer­ sity roads. Foster did not know if university roads would be continuously monitored or if the University Police Department would perform periodic checks on the area. It is probable that University Police officers will be assinged to radar duty as needed, he said. Next year, a cap on the num­ ber of available rooms will eliminate 200 residence hall spaces for return­ ing Appalachian State University stu­ dents, said Director of Housing Brad Reid. The 1997-98 influx of freshmen and the requirement that freshmen reside on campus prompted this re­ sponse, said Reid. "Since freshmen are required to live on campus, we need to have enough bed space for them," Reid said. Last year, the Department of Housing allowed 2,872 returning stu­ dents to reclaim residence hall hous­ ing and gave remaining beds to 2,147 freshmen, said Reid. 'This gave us 5,019 students with on-campus housing and 4,884 available spaces," Reid said. "This problem forced us to put too many students in temporary housing." The system that has been used to determine which students can re­ ceive housing will remain in effect, said Reid. see Housing on page 2 �1 he Appalachian 6 N0V( page 2 Harris Teeter Your Neighborhood Food Market Sale Starts Wednesday, Nov.

These responses have left Bliss at a slight standstill. His goals for restoring the cemetery reach beyond anything that could be supported by an academic grant. Bliss first took interest in the cemetery as an assignment within his public history graduate classes and organized three Saturday cleanups last spring, along with two fellow graduate students. Materials for this cleanup were paid for by Bliss, but his cur­ rent plans can't be covered by his credit card, he said. Bliss would like to replace the chain link fence that surrounds the white section of the cemetery with a three-to-four-foot stone wall to enclose both the white and black sections. He would also like to erect a plaque in the cemetery to explain its historical significance. Bliss' initial goal was to have the cemetery registered with the National Registry of Historic Places. The cemetery was rejected by the Register due to its poor con­ dition, and efforts beyond his own are required to place the cemetery on the registry, he said. Lack of funding has created a roadblock. Bliss said that al­ though he understands that the found only small grant™ cemetery is privately owned, he ties. "There are not exact still thinks the university could for this," he said.

All this is being done without an ease in the number of available rooms on ipus.

Beth Bliss News Editor "Who are you cheating off of today?" was the question I heard between two of my classmates as we prepared to take an exam. I thought perhaps that this was a sarcastic exchange indicative of the shared stress over the exam. But my classmates were being quite literal, and proceeded to strategically sit next to friends willing to let them copy their answer sheets, pulling out every stop to avoid detection by an oblivious exam proctor. I was disgusted with the entire process. Need­ less to say, the temptation to cheat has struck me on more than one occasion, but nevertheless the slight bit of integrity I hold has never allowed me to cheat on an exam, let alone broadcast the ignorant fact that I was thinking about doing so. Cheating is no longer "cheating," complete with sly glances on the paper next to yours. It has become an activity sel­ dom thought of, one done automatically and with­ out much guilt or regret. I have been described as the typical "moti­ vated student." Since kindergarten, this has been my label, and I have supplemented that label with hon­ ors classes and scholarships. Maybe this is why I don't understand the desire or need to cheat; or maybe grades have nothing to do with it, and I'm just not that cowardly and lazy. In any case, the finger must be pointed, because cheating has reached insur­ mountable levels—which I consider unacceptable at this stage of the educational game.

Page 3 I have read with interest the articles in The Appalachian discussing vegetarians. My in­ terest in these discussions stems from the fact that I am a nutritionist, and I have been a vegetarian for the last 15 years. I believe the students and faculty and the entire Appalachian State Univer­ sity community have been disappointed that these articles have not offered a truly meaningful and well presented discussion of the issues. Instead of increasing tolerance and understanding, they have only succeeded in supporting the already strong walls of division that exist, and in foster­ ing continued resentment. In my Nutrition and Human Health courses, we discuss why individuals choose to ad­ here to a vegetarian diet. The reasons are numer­ ous, but the most common are concerns for physi­ cal health, spiritual well-being, the treatment of animals and the environment. Unfortunately, the actions of a vocal and visible minority within the vegetarian community causes all vegetarians to be viewed negatively. However, it is important that non-vegetarians realize that many vegetarians are as fumed-off by the behavior of these individuals as meat eaters. Although I do not question their sincerity, and I am somewhat supportive of their cause, I believe that their tactics do more harm than good for the advancement of the vegetarian lifestyle and their cause. Approaches such as pro­ testing outside of establishments that serve meat convinces few people of the benefits and advan­ tages of the vegetarian lifestyle. On the contrary, this approach creates hard feelings and leaves an unfavorable impression of all vegetarians. In fact, blaming McDonald's for the consumption of meat in the United States is misplaced. McDonald's is a capitalist entity and will respond to the dietary desires of the American population. It is likely McDonald's is more pro-profits that they are antivegetarian. Also, if McDonald's went out of busi­ ness tomorrow we could be assured another es­ tablishment would step up to fill their place. Therefore, these activists should realize their beef is not with McDonald's but with the majority of the American people who choose to enjoy meat as part of their diet. Despite the "hankerin" the vast majority of Americans have for meat, the popularity of fol­ lowing a vegetarian diet is increasing. One indi­ cation is that it is getting much easier for veg­ etarians to find things to eat when dining out, due to the increased number of vegetarian op­ tions on restaurant menus. Nevertheless, it is highly unlikely all Americans will someday be­ come vegetarian, although it is estimated that currently 12 million Americans follow a vegetar­ ian diet. However, this number is suspect, since it includes individuals who refer to themselves as being vegetarian, but still eat large amounts of meat in their diet. The increased popularity of blame the stress of college academia. One student may take an 18-hour courseload and think, "I can't do it all. Professors are crazy to think that I can. I have the right to cheat." This assumption may also be used in core curriculum classes; many students declare these courses as wastes of time, and abuse them accordingly. Such is the mindset of the ignorant. I con­ tinuously meet students who have come to college not to leam, not to earn a degree symbolic of years of work, but to land the almighty "good job" after gradua­ tion. In other words, "I don't want to work fast food, so I may as well spend $5000 per year to slack off and earn something I don't deserve." This is a foolish reason to come to any institu­ tion of supposedly higher learning; this is a high school atti­ tude. Our federal government has made great ad­ vances in student loan programs; more students at­ tend college today than ever before. Social barriers have been broken; remember, there were times when women weren't encouraged to go to college, and some minorities were refused admittance. We are the lucky ones, as they say. Why would you throw that opportunity away? Isn't college supposed to be more than a piece of paper and a few drunken memories? But the blame cannot be directed at cheat­ ers alone. Students who share answers have an equally carefree and unethical oudook and take them­ selves as off-handedly as cheaters, if not more so. I don't study simply to share the wealth with the per­ son next to me, who had better things to do than prepare for an exam—not even my closest friends deserve that luxury. I know there is no clear solution to the cheat­ ing problem, but I think the greatest responsibility rests with these answer-providers. Since elementary school, we have been ordered not to tattle, but I for one am tired of keeping my mouth closed. Is anyone else angered by the fact that so many students cheat and utilize unfair advantages? This may not affect a curve on a test, so you may not care. But why should cheaters prosper when the rest of us rely on our own brain power and actually earn our academic stand­ ings? Call me a nerd if you like; I don't care. School can get to me, but I feel lucky to be here. I study; I read books; I love to write research papers, because I like learning and I know I won't be here for long. I'd also like to leave Appalachian State University with more than a degree—I'd like to leave with skills, which will truly get me a "good job." As for you—my cheating classmates—I won't turn you in, because sadly I don't know your names. But I pose this question: if you cheat in college to get ahead, in your pursuit of the "good job," will you extort money from your future employer because it's just so easy to do? Will you stab co-workers in the back, stealing their ideas to impress the boss? "No! A job is something serious—I could get fired." "(Cheating) has become an activity seldom thought of, one done automatically and without much guilt or regret." the vegetarian diet is due in large part to an increased nourish ourselves by allowing each the freedom awareness that a well- balanced vegetarian diet low­ to eat as they desire in an unharrassed environ­ ers the risk for all major chronic illnesses and is not a ment.

But Bliss believes that no one knows who holds the title on the sjople were buried on the hill far earlier, "black" section. gj The cemetery was originally the Since coming to Appalachian, anaging Editor I I Bliss has investigated old deeds and survey maps in the Watauga County Courthouse and has talked with local funeral homes that once bur­ ied people there, trying to deter­ mine who owns the land. Neither of the two funeral homes in town, Hampton's and Austin & Barnes, claim to know who owns the land or to even have plot maps of the section, which is now packed with unknown graves. Yet Bliss says he is close to finding out who owns the section. He believes it is probably a family from the black Mennonite church in Boone, a family who most likely does not even know they own the land. What Bliss does know is that the university owns the land alongside both sections of the cem­ etery where a few scattered grave­ stones lay. Survey maps show that Appalachian State owns the land up the side of the steep hill behind Cone, which was made when the dormitory was built in the late 1960s. Right on the top edge of that hill is a group of a few disregarded gravestones which lay together inches apart, apparently not in their original location. Although Bliss says both sections of the cemetery have been neglected over the years, the "black" section in particular has been left uncared for. It is in the enclosed section where important figures and fami­ lies in the history of ASU are bur­ ied. B.B. and D.D. Dougherty, the founders of the university, are bur­ ied there. Also buried there are members of the Coffey, Farthing, Broyhill, Hardin and other families involved in the history of the school, as reflected by the various buildings and streets named after them. What Bliss hopes to gain by getting people to pay attention to this forgotten cemetery is to get enough money, through donations, to be able to further his clean-up effort, fix some of the broken grave­ stones and build a stone wall around both sections and a plaque to identify the cemetery to give it a more historical flavor. Bliss said, "Too much mod­ ern stuff has been done around it," and that is probably the reason why the National Historical Board re­ jected the spring proposal filed by Bliss and two other graduate stu­ dents to put the cemetery on the Historic Places register. Bliss has already received pledges from local organizations such as the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs to help with the project. Unfortunately, the univer­ sity is unable to donate any money to the effort because state money cannot be used to fund projects on privately owned land.

Esperanto was invented in 1887 by a man named Zamenhof, and was first distributed in Rus­ sia. Over the last century the lan­ guage has had spurts of adoption and persecution. The League of Nations adopted Esperanto after World War I but it never gained much mo­ mentum in the world. In more recent times, the United Nations has approached it several times, but has never done anything serious with it. Some Eastern European countries have made Esperanto their second language. "It was always adopted but never funded, which was what Esperanto needed desperately," said Chuck Donoghue. Esperanto has been appre­ ciated enough for it to be found in some of the largest universities in the country and around the world. San Francisco State and Berkeley Universities have Esperanto classes within their foreign language cur­ riculum, said Donoghue.

Avery compiled 169 tackles in his first three seasons as a Mountain­ eer. He also stands seventh in all-time in quarterback pressures with 38, and ranks 14th in career tackles for loss with 27, and is 11th on the career list for sacks with 12.5. When asked how he felt about his accomplishments as a Mountaineer, Avery said, "I tend not to think about it too much. When I was in high school everyone con­ sidered me a good player, but I always seem to be in the shadow of somebody which is fine with me. I'm not one who likes to be in the spotlight too much, I'd rather be in the background." Avery attended Garner High School in Garner, N.C., Where he was a three-year football letterman. He was named to all-conference honor squad in his senior season and was also the team's leading tackier as both a junior and senior. He received the Extra Effort award as a senior. During his stay, the team finished a 194 record. When asked if he felt that high school prepared him for college, Avery said, "I think that high school prepared me for college, a little bit, in both the academic and athletic aspects. But when I got here everything was totally different. Our first day hitting on the field, I felt like I was standing still." Avery's family has been very sup­ portive of him. "They come to all my games," says Avery. "In high school, my mom made every game. Now that I'm in college, they make most of my games, but there are a few that they can't get to. Nobody has supported me more than my own fam­ ily." "My parents are my role models," Avery says. "I love my mom and dad. I think they've raised me right. They have provided me with so much and supported me in everything I've done." In the future Avery hopes to "go to the pros and play for either the Giants or the Panthers. If that doesn't work out I want to go to medical school. If medical school works out I hope to go into pediat­ rics. And if that doesn't work out, my last plan is to go back to school and get my teaching certificate."

(photos by Robert Parriott) Club Soccer has fun, despite rain {Nearly every single game this year has been cancelled due to rain Mike Kline Staff Writer Charlie Brown once said that in every life a little rain must fall, and it usually happens on game days. This old adage apparently rings true for Appa­ lachian State's Club Soccer team. Perhaps it is El Nino or just bad karma, but club soccer has had several of its games cancelled due to weather. Unfortunately for them, they do not have a chance to make up those games, usually due to com­ plications in rescheduling. Club Soccer plays about six or seven games Per semester. They play teams from Wake Forest, Duke - and N.C. State, so they have to travel long distances to play. The team itself is made up of 20 or so play­ ers. They do not have a coach, so they play a freelance • ^le. Sometimes that can be more fun than running complicated systems of offense or defense. With the lack of games, it is hard to judge the ability or the success of the team. It may take a few games to find team chemistry and bring forth suc­ cess. According to Chuck Long, president of Club occer, "The talent of the team varies from year to year." "New players are always coming in and oth;ers are leaving, so it is hard to judge how good the team will be each year," he said. ! There is no postseason tournament or plays 1° Club Soccer, since there really is not a conference. Scheduling is simply based on who has a team | ®nd who does not. Despite all the cancellations, Long is optimisc that the team can be successful. :, The team currently hosts a 1-1-1 record and °Pes to improve with two games this weekend. Rain rain rain. When will it ever end? For the Club Soccer team, never. (joalie Darin Glass in action at Hilton Head, S.C.. (photo provided by Club Soccer) Mountaineers fall to Eagles in playoffs Rob Holliday Staff Writer In the week following their big win over Davidson, the men's soccer team has managed to finish the regular season with a win against The Citadel and a loss at North Carolina. However, the postseason wasn't as kind to the Mountaineers, as they fell to Geor­ gia Southern 7-5 in Statesboro. Appalachian's conference playoff game saw Georgia Southern jump out to an early 6-1 lead in the first half. The second half though, was a different story. Appalachian came back with a vengeance, outscoring the Eagles 4-1 in the fi­ nal period. Georgia Southern began the first half onslaught with a goal by Jason Russell, 48 seconds into the match. Following the score by Russell, Chris Carlson got in on the action with a score at the seven minute mark. Pat Parris and Carlson both scored in the next nine min­ utes leaving Appalachian down 40. Mark Hemphill broke the monotony with a goal at the 24:50 mark, making the score 4-1. Scor­ ing for the first half still wasn't fin­ ished as Russell and Parris both tacked on goals for the Eagles. In the second half Appala­ chian came out fired up, scoring 4 unanswered goals. Will Phipps led the attack with his goal with 51:53 on the clock and was followed by Scott Startsman, Josh Masur and Chris Weddle. Despite losing the match, ASU outshot the Eagles 21-18. The | Mountaineers also out-fouled the J Eagles 12-8. | In Appalachian's win over I The Citadel, freshman midfielder Jacob Story netted the game-win- ; ning goal at the 97:59 mark to give j the Mountaineers a 5-4 win and an even record in the conference. ASU jumped on the Cadets early, as freshman midfielder Weddle found the back of the net at the 2:42 mark. Providing the assist for Weddle was Junior Naoshi Yamamuchi. Appalachian's second goal came from Weddle at the 11:31 mark, giving them a 2-0 lead. For­ ward Will Vick was credited with the assist. Hemphill notched his team leading sixth goal of the year, to in­ crease the ASU lead to 3-0. After defeating Davidson in a road contest, the team traveled to Chapel Hill to take on UNC, their third ACC opponent this season. Carolina, had fallen to tne same Davidson squad the Apps de­ feated. Victory, or at least a close contest, seemed very well within reach for Appalachian. When all was said and done, the Tar Heels emerged victo­ rious, but only by a 2-1 score. Carolina freshman Caleb Norkus posted the first goal of the evening. Norkus netted teammate Carey Talley"s blocked shot from point-blank range to put the Tar Heels up by a goal. As the first half was draw­ ing to a close, the Apps bounced back. Freshman Jacob Story found the back of Carolina's net at the 40:09 mark to tie the score at 1-1. Carolina continued to dominate the offensive attack in the second half, allowing only one Ap­ palachian shot. With just under 20 minutes left in the match, the Tarheels took the lead. Once again connecting off a blocked shot, Carolina took a 2-1 lead as freshman Michael Bucy drilled a shot into Appalachian's goal. Despite their offensive struggle, the Mountaineers' defense proved strong. Goalkeeper Eric Gibney recorded 10 saves on the evening. With the games, Appala­ chian finished its record at 4-11-2 with a 3-3-1 conference mark. �The Appalachian 6 IF YOU DON'T LIKE BASKETBALL OR DON'T LIKE TO THE GAMES, DON'T READ THE REST OF HAVE THIS AD NT TO MAKE NOISE, BE IRRITATING ENM AND GETEgEE MERCHANDISE FROM it UATHL V * f I ACS!

ASU celebrates Homecoming 'In the Heart of Tradition' Beth Rliss News Editor Winners in the Homecoming competition were an­ nounced and the 1997 Homecoming King and Queen were crowned during Appalachian State University's Homecoming football game, against Chattanooga University Saturday. Total attendance for the 41-7 Mountaineer victory was 16,761. The King and Queen were determined from five finalists in both categories. Senior Jason Yepko was announced as the 1997 Home­ coming King. Yepko represented the Panhellenic Council. Senior Jennifer Mitchell, nominated by Delta Zeta soror­ ity, was announced as the 1997 Homecoming Queen. Yepko and Mitchell were honored by Chancellor and Mrs. Francis T. Borkowski, as well as former king and queen Mason Reuter and Melanie Covington. Student Government Association President Fernando Little and Vice-President Jake Parker were also present at the half-time ceremony. Also announced at the Homecoming game were the win­ ners of the Homecoming competition. Last week, residence halls and campus clubs and organi­ zations participated in various events to earn points toward an award in the competition. Activities included a canned food drive, a lip sync contest and a Homecoming parade float com­ petition. The competition was categorized by different organiza­ tions. Of 19 dormitories, Coffey Hall won first place in the resi­ dence hall competition, earning the Vice-Chancellor's Cup. Newland Hall took second place honors. Of the win, Coffey Hall RSA President Erin Atkins said Coffey Hall found success due to the hard works of its resi­ dents. "A lot of our success can go out to the enthusiasm and energy of the freshmen in the building," said Atkins. Atkins also attributed the win to the work of Coffey Home­ coming committee chairperson Anna DeCasper, as well as to the involvement of Resident Director Maria Zale. In addition to the residence hall competition, awards for overall excellence in Homecoming participation were an­ nounced, with winners in three categories: Greek organizations, clubs, and student development groups. Winners of this award were Alpha Phi sorority, Appala­ chian Student Ambassadors and the Appalachian Popular Pro­ gramming Society. The winner of the Chancellor for a Day Contest, spon­ sored by the Student Ambassadors, was also announced before half-time. Junior Brandon Frye will switch places with Chancellor Borkowski Nov. 24. Frye entered the competition last week, as Student Ambassadors collected donations for the Watauga County Hunger Coalition. The day's festivities were preempted by tailgating activi­ ties in the stadium parking lot and on Duck Pond Field, adja­ cent to Trivette Hall.

Condom recall issued; students should check brand names, expiration dates Health Perspective Beth Bliss News Editor Appalachian State Uni­ versity students practicing safe sex should still be aware of dangers associated with sev­ eral brands of condoms re­ called last week by Ansell, Inc., according to a press release. As manufacturers of LifeStyles, Contempo, and Prime condoms, Ansell is­ sued a recall of eight spermicidally-lubricated condom types after finding that the condoms may no longer comply with stan­ dards of the Food and Drug Administration. Recalled LifeStyles brands include: Ultra Sensi­ tive with Spermicide (expi­ ration Oct. 1997); Assorted Colors with Spermicide (Oct. 1997-June 1998); Spermicidally Lubricated (Oct. 1997-Oct. 1998); Vibra-Ribbed with Spermi­ cide (Oct. 1997-April 2000); and Extra Strength with Sper­ micide (Oct. 1997-April 2000). Other types recalled in­ clude Prime Spermicidally Lu­ bricated condoms (expiration Oct. 1997-Feb. 2000), Power Play with Spermicide (Oct. 1997-Feb. 2000), and Intensity As­ sorted Colors with Spermicide (Nov. 1997). These condoms were ac­ ceptable at time of manufacture, the press release said. However; recent tests conducted by Ansell have shown that the condoms may lose their effectiveness toward the end of their three-year shelf lives. Ansell has received only nine complaints from the poten- ration date and that all are spremicidally lubricated, the re­ lease said. Ansell representatives could not be reached to determine what consumers should do with recalled condoms. However, questions can be directed toward Ansell's Consumer Relations Representatives at (800) 883-3434, according to the press release. LifeStyles: • Ultra Sensitive with Spermicide, Oct. 1997 •Assorted Colors with Spermicide, Oct. 1997-June 1998 • Spermicidally Lubricated, Oct. 1997-Oct. 1998 • Vibra-Ribbed with Spermicide, Oct. 1997-April 2000 • Extra Strength with Spermicide, Oct. 1997-April 2000 Prime: • Spermicidally Lubricated, Oct. 1997-Feb. 2000 Power Play: • With Spermicide, Oct. 1997-Feb. 2000 Intensity: •Assorted Colors with Spermicide, Nov. 1997 tially-breakable lot of condoms, but the company is voluntarily re­ calling each at-risk condom to en­ sure consumer safety, the press release said. Consumers should know that approximately 80% of the condoms have an Oct. 1997 expi- Appalachian students who purchase condoms exclusively from university Health Services should not have cause for concern, said ASU pharmacist Thomas Fotta. Fotta said the recalled con­ dom brands are not carried in the university's pharmacy. However, students who purchase condoms from out­ side vendors should examine all condoms carefully, said Watauga County Public Health Nurse Audrey Cothren. "These (condoms) could be in drug stores, convenience stores or vending machines," said Cothren. "It would be a good idea to check and make sure you don't have the defective condoms," she said. Students should look at both condom name and expiration date, as well as whether it is simply lubri­ cated or spermicidally lubri­ cated. Cothren said the Watauga County Health De­ partment has not recently distributed the recalled condoms. However, she said, this does not rule out the possibility that such condoms were distributed prior to the Ansell recall. Cothren said it is pos­ sible that North Carolina distributors never received any of the damaged condoms, but that examina­ tion is still necessary to be sure. In addition, students who have any worry that they may have used one of the un­ reliable condoms, whether re­ cently or in the past, may wish to seek testing for pregnancy or venereal disease. ountaineer Homecoming parades into Boone Right: Residents of Doughton Hall brought a taste of the farm to Boone with their parade entry.

"The more people that come out and show their support equals more work from the team." The first available time to register is the Nov. 10 men's bas­ ketball home game. Students should report to the contact table between 6 and 7 p.m. if they wish to sign up for the Mountaineer Maniacs program, said Dreibelbis. Students may also show their support for the men's basket­ ball team and register at a Nov. 12 pep rally, held from 12 to1:30 p.m. in Cascades in the student union. According to Dreibelbis, this pep rally is an opportunity to pro­ mote the basketball team and to solicit support for Mountaineer Maniacs. Students can report to the ticket office in Broome-Kirk Gym­ nasium from Nov. 11 through Nov. 14 for the final registration oppor­ tunities. Registration is integral to participation in the program. Dreibelbis said students must reg­ ister if they want to be on the offi­ cial Mountaineer Maniacs mailing list. Dreibelbis said the program welcomes all students willing to make a lot of noise and show their Appalachian State spirit. According to men's basket­ ball Head Coach Buzz Peterson, Mountaineer Maniacs is an excit­ ing program that will hopefully incite students to get more in­ volved in all aspects of men's bas­ ketball games. "The basketball team is human like the rest of us," Peterson said. 'The more people that come out and show their support equals more work from the team," he said. �The Appal.^ Page 4 INjJ Opinion fhe Appalachian r~ Fairness, Accuracy and Public Service since 1934 Students sometimes forget about safety In the age of faster cars with better gas mileage, the natural inclination is to drive faster, no matter the terrain. If you're late to work, the obvious solution is to hit the local interstate and drive at 90 miles per hour, whizzing past people in the "slow lane" who—how dare they!—drive at the 65 mile per hour speed limit. This need for speed has evolved due to the American instinct to get there quickly-never mind arriving there in one piece. And as if traf­ fic problems in Boone weren't hectic enough, some drivers, students in particular, are intent on breaking speed limits posted across the Appa­ lachian State University campus. The campus-wide speed limit of 25 miles per hour is, admittedly, somewhat snail-like. Re­ alistically, even the most cautious driver must view this speed limit as a remnant of horse-andbuggy days. But the speed limit is there for a reason; the campus streets are consistently filled with students walking to class, joggers, and bi­ cyclists, and many campus motorists have little regard for the safety of these people who have equal rights to the roads. Take, for example, the controversial stretch of pavement known as Rivers Street. There is no prime time for danger on this road; rather, any given hour can offer hazardous conditions to any­ one not behind the wheel of one or more tons of metal and rubber. Although there are the usual jaywalkers who don't have the time to wait for the "Walk" signal, a majority of students cross the street when it is presumably safe to do so. And perhaps their biggest mistake is put­ ting faith in approaching drivers. Almost daily, one can witness a near accident on Rivers Street, whether it is between two vehicles or between a vehicle and a pedestrian or cyclist. Nearly all of these close calls can be attributed to the careless toss of caution to the wind; commuters late for class or work aren't going 25 miles per hour. They are most likely driving at speeds of 45 miles per hour or higher. Most adults can take care of themselves. They can use their senses of judgement to de­ cide when it is safe to cross a street, and when it is appropriate to avoid speeding cars as they whiz past. But this responsibility does not rest solely with pedestrians; motorists have an equal respon­ sibility. If you were travelling at 50 miles per hour on Rivers Street, could you stop your car quickly—and safely—if a cyclist fell off of his bike and directly into the path of your car? The an­ swer depends on how far your car was from the fallen cyclist. But it is probable that damage would be minimal if the vehicle was travelling at a lower speed—it sounds simple, but many driv­ ers simply don't make the connection. Rather, the primary focus is on themselves and how quickly they can travel from point A to point B. Perhaps the university should consider rais­ ing the university-wide speed limit, if only slightly Maybe a small increase would be enough to in­ cite student compliance. Or perhaps things need to get uglier: highway patrolmen hunt speeders on state roadways, and maybe more speeding tickets should be distributed for Rivers Street vio­ lations. And regardless, all drivers should put more thought into the driving process. Safety is not ensured when the seat belt is buckled.

The thing is, a lot of these group identities are based upon two very divi­ sive and sensitive issues: race and gender. The reason I bring this point up is the fact that in most groups, you have to earn your right to be there or have to have done something special. Race and gender based groups, however, have no special stipulations or qualifications to be included, other than fitting the biological requirements. That just seems kind of silly to me. The idea of me getting accepted as part of a group just because I have Mr. Happy is a little absurd. It's not like I had to run 10 miles naked in the snow to get him attached or any­ thing. I was born, and there he was. Big deal. I am the oppressor; I am the white male. Throughout history, it's always been the white male who's been enslaving, raping, pillaging, and just gen­ erally making life un-fun. Everyone these days has their own group to identify with except me. Blacks can say, "I'm proud to be black," Latinos can say, "I'm proud to be 1atino," Asians can say, "I'm proud to be Asian," and so on and so forth. Even if the subject in question is white, if they're a woman, they can say, "I'm proud to be a woman," and people will recog- niyp and identify their erouDine. identify nize grouping. Thing is, if I were to stand up and say, I m proud to be a man" or "I'm proud to be white, I would immediately be condemned as a racist and/ or an oppressor. I'm not saying that I have any par ­ ticular desire to proclaim that, but the fact remains that the general public's reaction would be dramati­ cally different be­ cause I am white and male. Now the real question is: why is it so? The answer, however, is not so simple. Sure, it's that whole lifetime of tyranny thing. The thing is, I'm a white male who's also a poor college student. In this day and age, the only thing I'm keeping down is my grades. Why is the social stigma still attached to me about being white and male? In this age of equality, everyone is supposed to be equal. Well, it ain't hap­ pening. America is the melting pot (or tossed salad, depending on which you prefer) for an enormous amount of cultures, races, religions, etc. I opt for the tossed salad theory myself, because in a melting pot, things melt together to become one big, melted blob.

If the Vl(: fhout to^ hymili ab°ut rac.1 Men, women, college and the life experien Justin Bell Columnist Americans claim that our society is in the process of phasing out sexism. So as a public service announcement, I would like to say the following. Men appreciate it when women ask them out. When a woman asks a man out, the man is delighted, flat­ tered, happy, and usually has to try very hard to re­ strain the natural impulse to breakdance right then and there. So if you are a woman, and statistics say several of you are, please ask somebody out. Spread the love, make a statement, spend somebody else's money, demonstrate equality in action, increase your number of friends/acquaintances, spread the rejec­ tion around a little and become involved in the mat­ ing process. However, it is possible that women do ask men out all the time and I just don't know about it because I am (fill in the blank): way uglier than the national average, as graceful as a two-legged gazelle on crack, functioning with the social skills of a dead gypsy, and/or a dysfunctional, sexually frustrated dork with a bad haircut. In this case, I have not been asked out because one of the above qualities (which my parents refuse to admit is true) has prevented it from occurring. If this is the case, I apologize for my incorrect assessment of the situation. I'm just not that good at meeting new people. And that's really too bad because I see a lot of people with the same mentality as myself. I spend most of my time looking for a way to spend my time. It seems like college is supposed to be a place to start a career, meet and date people, and to choose your path in life. But I don't want the American Dream. I don't want to leave here and get some mediocre job and a mortgage. I don't want to raise two kids in the $40,000 tax bracket, retire and spend the last 20 years of my life trying not to crap on myself in some storage unit for the old and useless. I want to truly live life. And I don't con­ sider what most of our society does as living. We all start out with these standards and dreams for ourselves, but they fade. College breaks us in a way. It is a peaceful transition from wanting the world to settling for the reality of mankind. We all want this perfect love, but we meet people and we realize most of us will end up settling for someone who isn't all that great, like most of our parents did. We are all taking the safe path, the one our parents or society expect of us. The truth is, none of us really care about our classes. We are in college because we are expected to be. How many of us are really looking forward to a career? Soon you'll be another statistic. The truth is, you alreadi But if you decide that isn't the path youJ still dream and keep caring, I think it migs sible to avoid the trap. It seems passion has become a thi past.

The policy was established to curb the entry of those non-students who had recieved cards from stu­ dents who were already inside. I was unaware of this little rule when my situation arose. I came to the game with my father and grandfather. That was a questionable move as it was, but anyway I led them to the line to them their tickets. I told them I would wait for them inside the gate. Those were my exact words, but nonetheless, 15 minutes went by and no old men.

I was fed up with the wait­ ing, so I went outside of the gate to look for them. My search was in vain, and I tried to go back in­ side. I was met with a smile and a denied card. My card was denied because I tried to renter the game. I tried to explain to the woman that 1 had just stepped outside to look for my wandering mentors. Denied on that line as well. As the frustration set in, I looked around and saw a woman purchasing a ticket who looked like a student. When her ticket was ripped by one of the volunteers, she said aloud that she was a stu­ dent and was having to buy a ticket. I then saw another student being denied by a volunteer be­ cause his card was ripped. Several other students seemed to be wait­ ing outside, as well, because of various reasons why their cards were denied. Was this just a coin­ cidence or had these problems happened before? I did not just stop at the lady who I was denied by, I went to the head person in charge and was denied there as well. In the meantime, my father and grand­ father were happily watching the game wondering what hole there little boy had fallen into. What was I to do? Should I pay? I did. I cursed and moaned and wondered why I was not al­ lowed to get back in and why I paid $11 to get into a "free" game. It ruined the rest of the game for me. Why did 1 have to pay for just looking for someone for two sec­ onds? I even asked the lady who scanned me in, but all I got was a cold shoulder. Thanks. It seems ridiculous that I had my wallet shagged in order to see a football game. Students aren't supposed to be charged to see these games, even if they do step out of the gate for a minute. Unfortunately for me, I didn't know what I was stepping in. history lessons don't tell all trayed inaccurately.

Ne e d ing a new film to €ep the kids tontent until Scream 2" comes out in •January, the powers that be hired more young actors and got the guy who wrote Scream" to write something similar, resulting in "1 Know What You Did Last Sum­ mer." The film centers around four high school graduates who are busy enjoying their final sum­ mer together before they all go their separate ways. Their enthu­ siasm comes to a screeching halt late one night when, on their way home from a party, they have a car accident. While driving on a dark, winding road, their car hits some­ thing that seems to come out of nowhere. It turns out to be a man's body. After much debate, they elect to throw the body in the ocean and take the secret to their graves. One year later, the four begin receiving messages and threats from someone who "knows what they did last summer." The :ridi person who stalks them knows ev­ stom erything about them: where they ill live, where they hang out, their weakest points and their deepest Dor insecurities. To make a long story ix short, he scares them—really bad. Throw in some jolts and 'ho-.'typical horror film scenes and that's pretty much all there is to mj the film. There is really nothing new, except for the fact that the film takes place on the coast of Bjl! North Carolina. But only a few ople in the whole movie have 'Outhern accents. That's surprisg since Hollywood usually puts at label on all Southern charac­ ters. The film works on the fevel of a "scary" date-type movie. Other than that, not much can be aid about it, but I will try. The acting is surprisingly feood for a horror film. Jennifer ove Hewitt ("Party of Five") gives he best performance of the bunch, bhe plays Julie James, who is more Dr 'ess the moral center of the film laka-the one we're supposed to (ike the most).

The other actors create ur typical horror film support!cast: some you're supposed to , some you're not supposed to But mostly you're guessing 1 gets to live and who gets to les Beth Bliss News Editor Scientists have already cloned a sheep. The movie "Gattaca" gives the world a glimpse at what might happen if geneticists take over human repro­ duction in "the not-so-distant fu­ ture," as described in the film's same writer, North Carolina native Kevin Williamson. The film is di­ rected by Scottish filmmaker Jim Gillespie, who, though competent, seems to lack the skills of Wes Cra­ ven—skills which are important if you're going to make a genuinely good horror film. Again, the film works if you're wanting the jumping-outof-the-shadows thrills of most 1980s horror films. I'll admit that there are a few good jumps. But mostly it contains the same pre­ dictable and absurd ingredients that make up these kinds of films, even though the ending is some­ what of a surprise. On a marketing note, the film is loaded with the kind of loud rock and roll music that we kids are supposed to love. This was done, of course, so a soundtrack could be sold, even though the songs have nothing to do with the film. Horror films are making a comeback. If this film is a genuine success, look for more films just like it. You can decide for yourself whether that's a good thing. ** 1/2 (out of four stars) opening credits. Ethan Hawke stars as Jerome Morrow, a top employee at Gattaca, a futuristic version of NASA. According to his genetic makeup, Jerome is virtually per­ fect: physically fit, intelligent and destined for success. But things are not what they seem: Jerome Chuck's Miserable Rotten Life by Chuck Cundiff I IORENT7AWM, VouR B u o o y CHUCK. HERE r s p R c r r y u P S E T . .

Jerome Morrow started life as Vincent Freeman, a "God child" born to parents who put their faith in nature rather than in a geneticist. In the film's futuris­ tic setting, parents may visit their neighborhood geneticist and rid an unborn child of various "undesir­ able" traits, including myopia, al­ coholism, and even premature baldness. As a "de-gene-erate," Vincent Freeman won't amount to much. Despite his dream of a ca­ reer in space exploration, Vincent's second-best DNA won't allow him entry into Gattaca, where job in­ terviews consist of a pinprick to test the quality of one's genetic makeup. In true cinematic fash­ ion, Vincent won't stand for this and decides to change his destiny. In the future, genetic up­ grades are available through the black market, and Vincent assumes the genetic identity of a "valid" person who can no longer enjoy his perfection after a paralyzing accident. Vincent uses blood and urine samples from his new iden­ tity, Jerome Morrow, to secure a job at Gattaca—and enjoys great prosperity until his identity is ques­ tioned after a murder rocks the Gattaca complex. Ethan Hawke's perfor­ mance is average, but his charac­ ter is supported by Uma Thurman's character, Irene, who is Jerome Morrow's lover. Thurman is her usual cool, slinky self, but still de­ livers a good characterization. "Gattaca" is not as actionpacked as previews hint, but still offers an interesting look at the po­ tential hazards of genetic manipu­ lation. In the future, as the movie explains, "genoism" is a hatred as prevalent as racism. If you see "Gattaca," you will leave the the­ ater debating what you would do if offered the chance to create a virtually perfect person who would find nothing but success. ** 1/2 (out of four stars) WTVWTVyvWWf \ •vTvTvTv• • T , YvTvT VTyT TTvT ! ,TvTVTVT • TV* ' This space f o r r e n t : T O D D \ T 1 H W Call the business office at 262-2157 to advertise in The Appalachian. • JHLJL Pan LEGENDS Legal FrbfeSSfojial.

Coming into the game, Chattanooga only defeated one team all year that had a winning record (Middle Tennesee State 43) "We knew that they were a good team," said Byrd of the Mocs, "We just weren't sure that they had played that good of (a schedule)." Moore also added, Chat­ tanooga was a bit of an unknown and that they hadn't played quite the schedule that ASU had. Next weekend, the Mountaineers will face a known quantity when they play VMI.

They remain to be a team together in their hunger for r win and their hopes to IW along in their big brothers losei* st?ps and break out of the "Men's Rugbyr" stigma. "The only thing they really need is some good encourage­ ment," said Men's Club President Steven Keller. The Tradition The traditions of rugby are still heavily intricate to the game to this day. These games are usually a high-spirited and festive occasion with a lot of good-hearted competition and the utmost re­ spect of good sportsmanship. Senior Dave Zelch of Florida said of his fellow ruggers, 'There's a lot of team unity in the traditions, we're kind of like a fra­ ternity (or sorority)." There is always an postgame party that the team throws, inviting the opposing team and offering them a place to stay out of hospitality and the rugby tradition. Songs and chants begin the adrenaline pumping for ruggers as much as the stabbing of the flaming spear and the secretive "zulus.", the term for a team secret. ASU Rugby was born out of the old Aho Rugby Club in 1975, named after Aho Road where the old clubhouse used to be located. The women's club was begun just a year ago and has gained momentum with increased membership. The common cheer is "Go Aho!" The love of the game is also deep within the tradition of rugby which can be seen in the annual Alumni Game which pits the present ASU team against the earlier teams. Broken bones and concus­ sions are common occurances dur­ ing games but it always seems like the players are back on their feet in no time and are ready to go back out on the field. Ailing only from a slight answer: "Why not? Its that simple, I want to play. I want to get out there on the field and play." Freshman Kerri Strand from California, a former soccer player, summed it all up when she said, "Its not just about winning its more about having fun." Another newcomer to the game, Junior Matt Myers of Kernersville said, "Its (rugby) re­ ally addictive." In order to really capture the spirit and the tradition of ruglqy in a few words is to compare these players to the warrior-poets of old; they play and compete with their hearts and give everything they have to their teammates and the game. The next home club match will be on November 8th at State Farm Field beginning at noon. The men's team will be play against Wake Forest while the women will host Guilford and Cape Fear with the added rematch against UNC-Charlotte.

Both runs came to an end as Chattanooga got a dose of reality at the hands of Applachian State by the score of 41-7. The win, combined with a 38-30 Georgia Southern victory over East Ten­ nessee State, puts the Mountaineers in the hunt once again for the Southern Confer­ ence Championship along with a host of other teams with two losses including Furman, ETSU and Chattanooga. over on downs then marched the ball down the field 57 yards to make the score 17-0. The touchdown which capped the drive came on a 22-yard rush by Carlos Horton. Moore said that it would have nullified the defensive stop it to not score at that point. "I think that took a lot of their heart out of the game" Moore said of the score. The score opened the floodgates for ASU as they scored 24 points in the third quarter, leaving Chattanooga in a 340 hole by the end of the quarter. After the Horton touchdown, the Mocs attempted another scoring drive, but were met with a Ken Byrd interception that he ran back 12 yards to the Chatta- Following this weekend's action, Georgia Southern, who the Mountaineers have beaten, is alone in first place. "We kind of knew that it would happen like this," said ASU cornerback Elando Johnson. "You have four or five, or six teams that can knock each other off." However, despite the turn of events, the Appalachian Coach Jerry Moore isn't ready for the team to sit on their hands and wait for a title. "We can't sit around and wish something happens," said Moore, "Winning is the only thing we're playing for right now."

One player re­ marked at the UNC-Charlotte game, "You've just witnessed u the meanest game on earth." The game of rugby itself is an extreme contact sport that involves continu­ ous running and hard hitting tackles and played on a field the relative size of a football field in 30 to 40 minute halves. All of this, and no one wears any pads, just a mouthpiece and the occassional tape around the ears to keep them from being ripped off. The object of the game is for a 15 player team to carry the ball down the field to the try-zone to score a "try" of five points and the extra two-point field goal, much like in football. The rules are pretty simple: the ball never goes out of play unless it goes out of bounds; a player can kick the ball in any form or fashion down the field; passing the ball is essential only a player can't make any forward passes; and a player can only be tackled if they have the ball, everything else can go. Rugby has its own formations as in football, to vie for possession of the ball. The scrum is the formation that grapples Compiled by Justin Jo/ Facts, figures and the history of ASU ru recieve an out of bounds pass from the possessing team's player.

This year's Homecoming is the re­ sult of a unified effort to make the event special for the university, Robertson said. "This is by far the biggest variety of activities for students ever offered," Robertson said. "We want students to look forward to Homecoming as much as alumni (do)." This year's theme was chosen and developed by a committee of faculty and students in the hope of developing con­ sistency from year to year. An ASU stu­ dent, Jennifer Thornton, created the logo that compliments the theme, said Robertson. The celebration kicked off last night with a pep rally and bonfire on Duck Pond Field. Cheerleaders, homecoming court representatives, members of the football team and the ASU Marching Band were all present during the spirit campaign. Festivities will continue Thursday morning when 100 pumpkins are trans­ formed into jack-o-lanterns on Sanford Mall. The pumpkin-carving contest, spon­ sored by Appalachian Popular Program­ ming Society (APPS), will begin at noon and is free to students. A $50 first prize will be awarded to the winner, followed by two $25 consolation prizes. The pumpkin fun does not end there, said Robertson. The top five or six pump­ kins will be photographed and sent to a national contest. After the judging in early November, one lucky carver will return home $1500 richer. Thursday night will close with David Spade appearing in Farthing Auditorium.

See Homecoming on page 3 Leash your dog, ASU police warn News Editor An Appalachian State University student will switch places with Chancel­ lor Francis T. Borkowski for one day, in a contest sponsored by the Appalachian Student Ambassadors. To enter the contest, students this week have brought canned goods to the Ambassadors' information booth in the student union, said Student Ambassadors President, Brad Sparks. The canned goods donations con­ stitute entry into the contest; the winner will be announced at Saturday's football game. Students may still enter the con­ test through 2 p.m. today in the student union. The idea was proposed to the group by Borkowski, who wanted to revive the tradition begun by senior classes through­ out the years, said Sparks. Seniors typically used the contest as a way to raise funds for the senior class, said Sparks. The contest was not held last year, and Borkowski asked the Ambassa­ dors to pick up the contest, due in part to his own interest in trading places with a student for a day to experience student life. The Ambassadors wanted to com­ bine the contest with some aspect of com- Jonathan Beck Staff Writer canned goods to be donated to the Watauga County Hunger Coalition. Despite appearances to the con­ trary, Appalachian State University has specific rules about dogs on campus, according to a University Police spokesman. University Police Director Roy Tugman said that, under the rules, dogs are permitted on campus only when they are on a leash and when the leash is in the dog owner's hand. No dogs are to enter University buildings or be tied to railings, light posts, or trees and left unattended. The only exception to the above listed conditions applies to aid dogs, said Tugman. University Police officials receive a minimum of 2 to 3 calls a week con­ cerning complaints about dogs, said Higman. Major concerns include that some dogs can be vicious, and that they bark and disturb classes, Tbgman said. "In general, unattended dogs are creating a nuisance on campus," he said. see Ambassadors on page 3 see Leash on page 3 Ambassadors William Yeager and Jeff Strowe accept a donation to enter Daniel Cassidy in the "Chancellor for a Day" contest (photo by Bethany Parrish) munity service, Sparks said.

(But) :r that the dogs cannot go ses with you," said Tug- ef Officer Jon Townsend ua County Animal Con- trol said that the worst problem with dogs on campus is that most do not have their dog license, which provides rabies shot infor­ mation, he said. This can cause problems if someone is bitten by a strange dog, said Townsend. "If we cannot quarantine the dog that bit someone, we have to leave it up to the person that got bit to get a rabies series of shots costing between $1000-$1100," he said. "If (he or she) chooses not to get the rabies series but has con­ tracted rabies, then the fatality rate for the person that did not get the series is 100%," Townsend said. Students should be aware that when Watagua County Animal Shelter picks up an animal, a charge is assessed to retrieve an animal, Townsend said. A first-time finders fee of $5 is assessed if there is proof that the animal has had a rabies shot. Townsend's advice to Appa­ lachian students is to simply leave dogs at home, rather than bring­ ing them to campus. "When they are left at home, they will not be able to bite, chase, or disturb others," he said.

One of Justin Bell's supporting details in his recent article on TV is that commercials are significandy lacking in entertainment value and horribly tarnished by censorship. He is correct. But it's no secret that commercials are not only deficient on an entertainment level, but are also pretty damned an­ noying. With technology being able to clone sheep and create a world wide web, it seems like a small feat to create a device which eliminates commercials. However, it s not a case of not being able to create and market such a practical invention, but rather a case of not having the legal right to do so. Unbeknownst to most, such an invention is far from unfathomable. The technology for the Com­ mercial Brake—a device released in 1994, which fades out and fast-forwards through commercials as view­ ers watch VHS tapes—is easily adaptable for broad­ cast television. Using a record/delay function that records and reads algorithmic signals on a tape, live television could be viewed without the annoyance of commercials. The question of why someone has taken time to develop and market this wonder is perplexing. Oddly enough, though, someone has, but there was one minor problem: it didn't work. After going bankrupt from this failed device, its supposed inventor was forced to sell the patent. Its buyer is one of the largest conglomerates in the world and, by mere circumstance, happens to be one of the most competitive in the advertising arena as well. In the last 15 years or so, General Electric, which will represent the patent's buyer for the purpose of this ar­ ticle, has consoli­ dated such commu­ nications giants as Americom, RCA, and NBC as well as for­ mulating advertising campaigns with CNN and Coca-Cola. By doing this GE is cor­ nering the market on every facet of communication. The people of the United States are hearing only what the CEOs of large corporations, like General Electric, want us to hear. A longitudinal study of advertising links the growing materialism in America with increased vigor in product advertising. Television commercials, al­ though most people will overtly deny it, make people want to go out and purchase the advertised products to fulfill their growing materialism. Does anyone wonder who stands to gain from this and who ben­ efits financially from this rampant materialism? If you guessed corporations like GE, you are correct. The patent pending for this anti-advertise­ ment box prevents its further marketing. Conse­ quently, it also prevents any possibility of diminish­ ing the influence that commercial advertising has on our lives. The denial of the freedom not to watch these shameless self-promotions is, to say the least, unfair and unjust. Unfortunately, the capitalistic society of the United States has pro­ duced monster corpo­ rations that constantly endeavor to expand their influence over the lives of the our so­ ciety in order to make a buck. Not only are viewers exposed to whatever products the conservative business leaders deem suitable, but, in addition, the censorship of thesecommercials forces their ideals and ethics onto the average television viewer. The morals and ethics of the people should not be affected by the unremitting exposure to the advertisements of the materialistic upper tiers of our society. Rather; they should be a result of individual­ ity and self-introspection. Although law prevents us from owning this handy device that cuts out all of those irritating com­ mercials, mute buttons are still legal. The personal implementation of a commercial-muting plan could mean the difference between living in a society of true individuals and living in that of materialistic clones of the financial elite. With technology being able to clone sheep and create a world wide web, it seems like a small feat to create a device which eliminates commercials." Equity Office is here to help students, not just faculty [ Special to The Appalachian j (Note: by Joanna Yount, a graduate student in the His­ tory Department and a graduate assistant in the Equity Office.) Over 3,000 students received a student needs assessment survey from the Equity Office about three weeks ago. Only 136 students returned their surveys. These surveys were designed to help the Equity Office assess programming and educational needs by asking a random sampling of students to identify equity related problems and issues on cam­ pus. But after spending months gathering infor­ mation to develop the survey and weeks putting it all together, we have nothing that we can use to help us understand the needs of students. Based on the poor results of previous sur­ veys conducted on campus, we hoped to get a 10 I wanted to coordinate the student needs percent response rate, but we have received less than assessment survey because I wanted to make sure three percent. the voice of the students, the true voice of Appala­ So, the Equity Office is faced with a prob­ chian, was heard. lem.

Letters to the Editor Both Sides of the Fence To the Editor: To all the people scared of Gays: Oh how the ignorant let their ignorance shine. 1 ) To he who called our school paper liberal, is that suppose to be an insult? liberal: l.a. Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry. My goodness, that sounds like a horrible concept! If you are against that, what does it make you? 2) If any of you have such a big problem with an article on something other than how "wonderful" our administration is, don't read it. If I do recall, it was on one of the last pages. 3) The tunnels: B-GLAD paints it one week, and you are up in arms, but a frat or so­ rority can put their propaganda of selling friend­ ship to the highest bidder all they want, and you'll buy it. And finally, are any of you being hurt by a single homosexual? I didn't think so, so why don't you start worrying about a real is­ sue, like our rising tuition, why we are getting more part time professors instead of full time ones, why we have a multi-billion dollar basket ball stadium going up when we don't even fill up the one we have? Or is ignorance too bliss for you? Jason Hicks ASU box 10875 To the Editor: The following is in response to the let­ ters printed in the Appalachian Newspaper on Oct. 1997, from the article about the B-GLAD club here at App: Oh my goodness, gracious me! They done let the gay people Run around free! All that kissing and PDA's Why would I wanna see Such flagrant displays? I'm homophobic, yessirree, So don't show your pictures To people like me. The paper prints it, and I say "No!" Cause free speech only applies When I say so! The poem is entitled "Sarcasm." Kate Harding ASU Box 14764 To the Editor: I would just like to address the writer of the article, "Response to a Response." I would mention the person by name but whoever wrote it, didn't have the nerve to sign their name to it. I can't blame them, if I had written that junk, I wouldn't have had the guts to put my name on it either! Apparently, the writer didn't like the re­ sponses that the Appalachian received over their ar­ ticle on homosexuality. The author said that people call themselves "open minded" and then oppose ar­ ticles like the one on gays. Well, I don't consider myself and open minded person. Whoever wrote this, talks about how dis­ graceful it was to see all letters they got over the piece. "What do you expect when you print junk like that? You're asking for it!" My favorite part of this defensive piece is when the writer compares rape and homosexuality. Rape is an awful and terrible crime. Homosexuality is just plain discussing and immoral. You are com­ paring apples and oranges there. After this pathetic comparison, the writer says, "Let's face it, homosexuals are on our campus, and they do kiss." I don't doubt that they kiss, but I don't think that it is so important that every student on the Appalachian State campus should have to see it. My high school newspaper staff put out about one newspaper a semester. I can honestly say that their articles on cafeteria food were ac­ tually better than the garbage that the Appala­ chian puts out every Thesday and Thursday! Travis Mckinney ASU Box 18039 To the Editor: Your response to a response further shows how your paper describes campus life at Appalachian State University. It also shows how you can take a subject like homosexuality and totally bend it out of shape. I do not see how you can compare rape to homosexuality. If a young lady was raped you would not show pictures of her bruises, and the reason is that it offends cer­ tain people. Now you know why a picture of two homosexuals kissing has offended so many people. No we are not insecure about this sub­ ject. We have to tolerate it but we do not have to agree with it. We the readers have tolerated your articles on homosexuals at Appalachian State University. Now it is your turn to show us that you really are unbiased. Now we the students of Appalachian State University would like to see articles such as heterosexual love, ethnicity, and the various types of religion which are impor­ tant factors of our subculture here at Appalachian State University. If you want to serve the univer­ sity, then serve all of university. If you can't serve all of the university, then you don't represent us. You just represent parts of the university that will get the paper publicity. I hope you can prove that you are unbiased like you propose that you are, and that's the bottom line. Thomas C.

As recently uncovered Pat Robertson tapes indicate, religious organizations moving into politics is reality. Although our nation is built upon the precept of division of church and state, the United States lawmakers have repeatedly looked towards the Bible for law­ making.

As a whole, western culture has pre­ viously based its mores on the Bible as well: believing women don't have souls, restricting women's property rights, forbid­ ding divorce for abusive or aban­ doned marriages, religious wars against other religious beliefs (the Crusades, the Inquisition, the forced conversation of Jews, Eu­ ropean pagans, Native Americans, and Africans). It seems the fashion to call oneself "Bible-based" (strict fol­ lowers of Biblical teachings) as the Promise Keepers followers do. This raises a few questions - what is unBible-based Christianity and are Bible-based Christians truly Bible-based? Many Biblical command­ ments are not desirable in modern life. In fact, since the non-clerical masses began reading the Bible for themselves, Christians have dis­ puted individual verses. (For ex­ ample, some Christians believe in "the elect" while others believe in "being saved.") As an offshoot, various Christians believe that the books of the Bible were written for a specific time and culture. These unBible-based Christians hold that specific verses no longer holds rel­ evance for today's Christians. Current Bible-based doc­ trine seem to focus on abortion and same sex couplings as being against Biblical teachings. [Of course, right or wrong, advocates for abortion and same sex cou­ plings have interpreted Biblical verses to legitimize these activities. Exo. 21:22-23 (the fetus' life is not equal the mother's life) and Ro­ mans 1:26-27 (it is unnatural for a homosexual to copulate with a member of the opposite sex, after all).] But the Bible contains many additional laws which are blatantly ignored. The Promise Keepers and other Bible-based organizations have not addressed the require­ ments for rape survivors to marry their rapists (Deut. 22:28-29), interest-charging credit institu­ tions to close (Deut. 23:19), and jewelry wearing to end (1 Tim. 2:9). Why don't they advocate women wearing hats to church (1 Corith. 11:5-6), marrying your brother's widow (Deut. 25:5-6), or killing adulterers (Deut. 22:22) as does the Bible? Where are the na­ tional calls for condemnation of men who grow their hair long (1 Corith. 11:14), illegalizing classes in which females teach males (1 Tim. 2:12), and believing the earth is flat (Rev. 7:1)? Have Bible-based groups not read the Bible or are they really just like the unBible-based religious organiza­ tions? I propose that Bible-based Christians are not truly Bible-based and never could become Biblebased in our society. Instead, they use "Bible-based" as a symbol for a belief system which is pro-life, anti-gay and gives men control rather than sharing power with women. Bible-based Christians use this symbol to empower them­ selves as the 'true believers' and to convince themselves that other Christians follow false doctrine. I hope to meet a Christian one day who, while quoting verses con­ demning gays and lesbians, con­ sciously seeks to follow each of the Bible's precepts rather than selec­ tively condemning others But then, what do I know? After all, being the great grand­ daughter of an illegitimate woman, I am not allowed into the House of God (Deut. 23:2).

The Promise Keepers is a Christian group of men that is try­ ing to bring the men of America back to God. They are trying to teach other men to take responsi­ bility for their actions and be the spiritual head of their homes.

Promise Keepers get their Biblical facts prohibiting women from the New Testament, in the letters written by Paul. These let­ ters were from Paul, a human, and his personal opinion on women and their place in society could have been thrown in. These letters don't quote what Jesus said, but rather the apostles' thoughts who wrote them. For the time period during which the disciples lived, women were treated differently than they are now and things have changed considerably since then. For ex­ ample, women were not allowed to work outside of the home, could not speak in church without the permission of their husbands and couldn't even pick who they wanted to marry. So, for the time period during which the letters of the Bible were written, that was the role of women. However, we now live in a world the apostles know nothing about.

When they had gathered them­ selves, they went back upstairs and tried to sleep. Finally, at 2:30 a.m., the power came back on and they looked at their answering machine. It was flashing "new message." When they pressed the button, the machine said, "Your message was re­ ceived at 12:20." The girls could not ex­ plain how a message was left on the ma­ chine when the phone didn't ring, and the machine had no power. They proceeded to play the mes­ sage, but all they heard were strange groans, mumblings, and traces of human voices. They slept with the lights on for the rest of the night. But they can't do that every night. They've had to learn how to live with a possible fifth roommate, Max. So far, they have done surpris­ ingly well. They are able to sleep without fear. "We're pretty cool with Max. He's our friend," the rooommates agreed. "If he does something stupid, we'll tell him to stop." Whether Max will visit again is unknown. For the roommates, though, it's made college a haunting experience.

Will Chris Farley, also of the big screen and Saturday Night Live fame , join him7 Well, maybe if you believe in miracles. The opening act sched­ uled for tongiht is comedian JB Cook. Dinwiddie said that Spade picked Cook for the show. He said that Spade often brings up-andcoming comics with him when he tours to help them out. David Spade is sponsored by APPS Concerts. On Saturday night, Jack O Pierce will add even more ex­ citement to the Homecoming fes­ tivities. It is their farewell tour, so fans had better catch them while they can.

Chattanooga has won their last ^e conference games by a combined ore of nine points. However, the wins have come against cellar-dwellers such as VMI, Wofford and Western Carolina. Chattanooga's only loss came against Georgia Southern 37-10, a team that Appalachian routed two weeks ago in Boone, 24-12. For the Mountaineers, the contest means keeping playoff hopes alive. Ap­ palachian State Coach Jerry Moore real­ izes what it takes, "As we go down the stretch in the conference, trying to get in the playoffs, we can't afford to let oppor­ tunities to score or to keep someone from scoring go by." Again, Appalachian finds itself walking a tightrope in order to keep from falling out of the race for a playoff berth. "If we lose one more game, we are not in the playoffs," said defensive end Steve Carson. "As you can tell from last year, 74 was not good enough to get into the playoffs... These last four games are do or die."

Riding a two-game winning streak into the Southern Conference Tournament, the Mountaineers fell to Georgia Southern, 4-1, in the open­ ing round of the clash in Statesboro, Ga., Tuesday night. The loss knocks the Apps out of title contention, after compiling a 3-3-1 league mark under first year head coach, Ben Popoola. Appalachian saw a different Georgia Southern squad than the one the Mountaineers turned back, 2-1 in Boone, earlier in the season. Eagle forward, Tara Chaisson missed the earlier meeting between the two squads, but made her pres­ ence known in the quarterfinal match. The Marietta, Ga., native as­ sisted Georgia Southern's first goal of the afternoon, at the 11:54 mark, as Chaisson's pass found freshman Robin Thirsk, who edged a shot past Moun­ taineer goalkeeper Allison Wahl, giv­ ing the Eagles an early 1-0 edge. GSU would extend their lead to 2-0 just before halftime, as junior Shannon Todd found the back of the net at the 43:44 mark, sneaking a ball past a diving Leslie Beckman. After the break, Appalachian was able to set the initial tone of the half. Freshman Christine Monica put the Mountaineers on the board as she fired a shot into an open goal, cut­ ting the score to 2-1. The score was 1 the second on the year for the Altamonte Springs, Fla.native. The Apps' momentum would soon dwindle as the Chassion show began. The sophomore forward net­ ted her first goal of the final period at the 62:02 mark, giving the Eagles a 3-1 lead. Chassion put the game away at the 76:02 mark, as she found a pass from Thirsk, then chipped it over the head of Beckman for the score. The goal capped a five-point performance for Chaisson and sealed the victory for Georgia Southern. Appalachian entered their fifth ever tournament match without the services of their leading scorer and top defender. Junior forward, Allison Osborne broke her left ankle while scoring the game-tying goal against Charleston Southern last weekend. The Raleigh native paced the Moun­ taineer offense with five goals and two assists, good for 12 points on the season. She had netted goals in the two previous matches heading into the team's tournament fray. Sophomore defender, Katie Hand was unavailable for play, in both the Charleston Southern and Georgia Southern matches, after injuring her left knee in practice last week. With the loss, the Mountain­ eers fall to 1-4 in league tournament play since the 1994 clash. The meet­ ing with the Eagles marked the first time Appalachian and Georgia South­ ern, who improved their tournament record to 3-3, had ever met in post season-play. GSU advanced to the fi­ nals of last year's clash before falling to Davidson, 1-0 in the championship game. The Eagles meet the winner of the Chattanooga-Wofford contest, Saturday afternoon at Davidson in the SoCon Tournament semifinals. The other match will see UNC-Greesnboro take on the winner of the FurmanDavidson match. Appalachian closes out the 1997 campaign this afternoon at 2 p.m., as they host Liberty. The game serves as a make-up contest, since the Mountaineers had to reschedule the game, originally scheduled for Mon­ day night, due to their travel require­ ments to Georgia Southern. The match will serve as the final performance of Mountaineer See Soccer on page 15 �The Appalachian 3q Page 14 Appalachian News :,°be t i.

FIRST COACH OUT THE DOOR: They won't fire him before the season's over, but expect ex-Cowboys coach Barry Switzer to be working at a K-Mart near you in early 1998. This is a coach that would struggle to lead Watauga High School to a championship, much less the team of the 90's. Yeah, he won a Super Bowl, but that team coached itself. Switzer has turned Emmitt Smith into an old man by running him into the ground and allowing him to play through various injuries and Troy Aikman is suddenly facing a simi­ lar fate. The offensive line is old and losing its power, and the de­ fense, while still fast, doesn't make the plays it used to. These latter cases may not be Switzer's fault, but he will catch the ax nonethe­ less. Advertise in The Appalachian!

Hirchin, who divides his residency between Boone and Miami Beach, Fla., was recognized for his tremendous sup­ port of Appalachian State athletics, pro­ grams and scholarships at the annual meeting of the Appalachian State Univer­ sity Foundation, held at the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center. Hirchin's donation to Appalachian could be used for many different projects, such as establishment of university scholarships, or as funding for other projects, including the 1999 centennial campaign. Turchin is no stranger to giving money to the uni­ versity. He and his wife, Lillian, have donated over $185,000 to various university athletic, scholarship and cul­ tural programs. In 1995, Turchin started a program called Hirchin's Challenge (photo courtesy of ASU News Bureau) to further raise money for student athlete scholarships.

Keel assumes fundraising duties for ASU Leslie Hitchcock Staff Writer Just because Donald F. Keel is the newest member of Appalachian State University's administration does not mean he is the least-qualified person around. In his newly assumed role as Asso­ ciate Vice Chancellor for Development, Keel fills a position that has been vacant for one year but is necessary for the growth of the university. Responsible for all university fundraising activities, Keel's primary objective is the university's centennial campaign, he said. Keel assumed his role Oct. 21, and has not yet had the opportunity to formu­ late complete goals for university fundraising. "The goal of the development de­ partment is to strengthen all aspects of the university," he said. "The specific objectives are still in the process of being determined," Keel said. Keel decided to come to Appalachian State University for a number of reasons, he said. Enormous respect for ASU Chancel­ lor Francis T. Borkowski initially sparked his interest, he said. "I've known the chancellor for a long time, and I have the utmost respect for him," said Keel. Also attracting Keel was the caliber of the development staff with whom he works, he said. The expansion of the university fi- see Keel on page 2 �1 he Appalachian 28 ( Page 2 DOR OOM Sponsered by: Expressions, Farmer's Hardware, K-mart, Wal-Mart, Papa John's, Winn Dixie, and Helicon nalized his decision to come here, said Keel. "I did my homework," he said. "This university is clearly on the move." Before assuming his position with Appalachian, Keel served as campaign director for the Univer­ sity of Texas-El Paso. There, he initiated a $50 mil­ lion fundraising campaign, the largest ever in the region, he said. He also organized fund-rais­ ing campaigns for Congress Col­ lege, The Citadel, the University of South Carolina and Virginia Mili­ tary Institute. Keel earned a bachelor's de­ gree in philosophy from the Uni­ versity of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Donald F.

The University of Mississippi has taken 3t seem to be rather pidly measures to get rid he old Confederate battle flag that continues >e flown at its football games. These mea»s, however, have been limited to a plea from football coach in the school newspaper, and an on sticks in the stadium. The chancellor ned sticks in the stadium for "safety" reasons, latently someone in the upper echelons of the aol seem to think that there's no way to disf a flag other than on a stick. Ole Miss fans carry the flag to games as ie sort of unofficial show of school spirit, at a aol that, conveniendy, is predominandy white. Ole Miss football coach Tommy erville has extended pleas to the fans to stop iging the flag because it hurts his recruiting, -efore, hurting the success of the team that fans are suppossedly trying to support. What he didn't bother to mention is that nany people, black and white, the flag is a i of hate, bigotry, oppression and a reminder a part of American history that is rather jarassing for the South. As always, you can where priorities on American campuses are: gridiron and the basketball court. The student senate of Ole Miss voted to :ourage students from waving Confederate s during games. Most of the students on the jte said the flag is "perceived as hateful" by ;t Americans and, as a result is causing the /ersity to lose prospective students, faculty resources. If waving the flag is hurting the school r are they still doing it? It is their right. People express their support in any way. The flag was part of our history as a nastruggling to find itself.

"What exactly is a dream and what exactly is a joke?" - Syd Barrett Although I notice problems everywhere I look, I would like to think I help solve some of them. So here's the problem. Television, God bless it, is not half as entertaining as it could be. When we watch television, we are usually quite disappointed and of­ ten insulted. The level of intelligence most TV shows cater to is that of squid. But I'm not saying that's a problem. TV is not in need of sophisticated program­ ming. Quite the opposite. Let's just look at some examples. All commercials that try to sell mouthwash, chewing gum, breath mints, soap or shampoo show attractive people all over each other, implying that if you use their product, you will find yourself in a simi­ lar situation. Now that's fine with me, but I was taught if something's worth doing, it's worth doing right. The people in those commercials should be naked. Want to be a sexually confused young person with an eating disorder? Calvin Klein jeans are a good start. According to television, wearing expensive jeans can help you get lucky. That must be my problem. I actually do own a Calvin Klein shirt. You know why? It cost a dollar. Cheap is cheap. To hell with those commercials. So when did MTV stop showing music? Seems like they ought to change their name. If you are go­ ing to call your channel Music Television, you ought "So which video will it be?

People, not race, draw first-year students Special to The Appalachian (Editor's note: the following article is another in a series of stories submitted to The Appalachian by the University's Equity office. It was written by Crystal Thompson.) When I first arrived at Appalachian, I found a lot of diversity here, which was really neat because my hometown of Denver, N.C., is less diverse. At home, I felt set apart from everyone around me be­ cause I was willing to learn about other cultures. I was raised to judge people by the way they treat me, not the color of their skin. If someone hasn't been exposed to different cultures or races, then talk­ ing to someone open, like me, might give them an idea of what it's like to be different. If they know they're not the only ones who feel different, then it might be easier for them to open up to other people. People at Appalachian are trying to get to know me rather than pass judgment. I haven't experienced racism, but that does not make me ignorant of the fact that it exists. I just ignore it. I don't make race a big part of who I am.

In the end, Don confesses his scam, but Dawn doesn't care. They have discoverd love, and she vows to stay with him. The play closes with a young man, played by Brian Ward, coming into Don's office requesting lessons in his language. Don and Dawn respond compliance in their new speech, eagerly hoping to share what they have discovered with the world. I went to review the one-acts on Saturday night. The acting in "The Uni­ versal Language" was dynamic enough to be really funny. Bilbro was especially im­ pressive. Both actors worked well to­ gether, though at times they seemed to be on the verge of breaking character and finding themselves humorous. Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable time, if not intellectually challenging. "Chicago," the second one-act, see Plays page 5 On a foggy fall evening, along an interstate between North and South Caro­ lina, a 10-year-old boy and his father are coming home from helping a friend move into his new house. The friend had just moved be­ cause he was in the ministry and had taken a new job. The little boy already knew what it was like for things around him to change. His parents divorced when he was four. Moving this friend in was just another change to him. The little boy had begun to see a difference in his dad. His dad acted different than the dad he remembered. He wanted to know why his dad was different. He wanted to know why his dad's friend was different. He wanted to do more than just see change happen around him. He wanted to be a part of it. Chad "What is ministry?" asked the boy. His father ex­ plained to him that ministry was when you invited Christ into your heart and made it your life's calling to share that same joy with others. The little boy still didn't under­ stand why Christ made his dad and other people different. He wanted to know what inviting Christ into your heart meant. The little boy's father continued to explain that a relationship with God is very personal, you have to want it and ac­ knowledge what sin is and pray to ask God to forgive you. "What is sin?" asks the little boy. "Sin is just missing the mark, the times in our life when we mess up," said the fa­ ther. He told the little boy that he could talk to God anytime he wanted because that is all prayer is. "I want to talk to God right now and ask him to come into my heart, Daddy," says the little boy. As the car continues to creep down the highway, a father prays with his son to "ask Jesus into his heart." Chad M.

Vinson did not grow up in a Christian home. His parents di­ vorced when he was four years old, and the Christian lifestyle was something never modeled for him. "I didn't grow up in the church and grow up every Sunday morning going to church,"he said. Vinson began going to church with his dad around the age of 10, but never fully under­ stood his relationship with God. "I saw the pain in life growing up.

It really felt like the writer was try­ ing to push his ideas too hard. Most of the play was a monologue by Stu, the half-naked main char­ acter who spends the entire play in a bath tub. He spouted off his rambling analogies about life. For a play that was so thick and unintelligible, Justin Rowland, as Stu, did a phenom­ enal job. He kept the audince in­ volved throughout the play, touch­ ing them at times, and also driv­ ing them to laughter with his ti­ THE says, look to Christ who is perfect and will never let you down. As Vinson looks to gradu­ ating and being out in the "real world," he sees himself as being a bright spot in today's society. He wants to live his life to the fullest by allowing Christ to have as much potential as possible in him. Vinson feels that people want to see Christians live out the life they talk about. Religion is an aspect of everyone's life. But for Chad Vinson, his relationship with Christ has made him different. His religion isn't just an aspect of his life, it is his life. 20). The Promise Keepers movement was designed to adhere to biblical standards and teach these standards to men willing to take them. Two Appalachian students have taken these standards. rades, even if they had no idea why they were laughing. A lesser actor who had focused more on the metaphor than the character would have been unbearable. But, I give kudos to the Theater Department for "Chicago." You've got to aim high. Although I have a few criticisms for the one-acts produc­ tion, they are by far always my fa­ vorite for the year. The I.G. Greer Theater, though extremely hot, is also personal.

He also caught two passes for 30 yards. As team the Mountaineers netted 204 yards on the ground, also a season high, and in the process wore down the Terrier defense to the point that the Mountaineers did not even need to throw the ball even though it was clear they could have. "Our running game definitely took its toll on them today," said Hardy. And while the Appalachian of- Managing Editor Saturday in Spartanburg, S.C., Appalachian State turned back the clock to a time when football was simpler. When "new-fangled" innovations like the forward pass were still unheard of. Although the Mountaineers did throw the ball in their 26-21 win over Wofford that kept them alive in the play­ off race, both teams kept their attack so ground ori­ ented that it was hard not to think that these two u, teams were reenacting some classic gridiron battle between Ivy League schools from 1910. For Appalachian, 40 of the 55 plays Coach Jerry Moore called in were rushing while Terrier -- Gerard Hardy Coach Mike Ayers went with his ground attack on only 57 out of 70 plays, (the week before against Western Caro­ fense was grinding it out and putting lina, Ayers' ran the ball on 71 out of 72 points on the board the Mountaineer de­ plays). fense was doing an admirable job of try­ The leading rusher in this all-out ing to contain the Terrier's relentless ground assault was Mountaineer tailback ground attack.

Appalachian was able to win the war for better field possession with their superior kicking, punting and returning. Ayers said that "I think (spe­ cial teams) was the difference in helping them and causing us some problems." Mountaineer punter Jeff Marr punted three times and averaged 48 yards per punt while Terrier punter Brandon Kale punted five times but averaged just 33.6 yards per punt. Appalachian averaged 31.25 yards per return on kickoffs while Wofford aver­ aged just 11.6 yards per re­ turn. The Mountaineers out-gained the Terriers on punt return yardage as well. Moore also agreed that the special teams were a key factor in the win saying "I think the big difference in the ballgame was probably the kicking game and that we were get­ ting great field position off our kickoff re­ turns and the same thing when we forced them to punt. We were getting great po­ sition off our punt returns." As for the significance of the win, Moore said "Our back is to the wall for the next four weeks... we've known that ever since the locker room at Furman."

[en s soccer picks up victory over Davidson iuntaineers improve to 2-3 in Southern Conference with 4-2 road win Holliday 'Writer Still stoaked after topping 2-1 last weekend in te, a visiting Appalachian i soccer team defeated Southonference foe Davidson 4-2. The Wildcats, on a threewin streak, including victover ACC members Wake Forid North Carolina, jumped on >ard early. With less than two tes expired on the clock, forPhil Julien scored to give lson an early 1-0 lead. Appalachian responded tinutes later. Freshman for­ :ord ward Gabe Story, set up by fellow forward Naoshi Yamauchi, con­ nected to even the score at 1-1. The next goal for the Apps was scored by Davidson. When Mountaineer sophomore Will Phipps' shot ricocheted off the goal onto the ground, a Davidson de­ fender knocked one into his own net to score the goal. Down 2-1 at halftime, the Wildcats scored early to start the second half in the same fashion they started the first one. With just under six min­ utes into the second frame, Davidson freshman David Buehler netted a penalty kick to tie the count at two. After a 20-minute scoring drought, the Mountaineers capital­ ized once again. Midfielder Chris Weddle passed the ball to Mark Hemphill, who rifled a shot past goalie Brad Stoble to put the Apps up by a goal. Story converted off a steal in the final minutes of the contest to seal the 4-2 victory for Appala­ chian. With three matches re­ maining in the regular season the Apps' conference record is in good standing. A victory over The Cita­ del in Kidd Brewer Stadium next week would give the Mountaineers a 3-3 record in Southern Confer­ ence action. NEED CASH? WE BUY & SELL USED CD'S Where are you?

The present structure of the colleges has been around since the 1970s, accord­ ing to Sawyer. The committee has tried to exam­ ine any academic restraints on the stu­ dents within each college. According to Sawyer, the committee has interviewed deans from every aca­ demic department to determine if the need for structural change is present. Surveys were also sent out to fac­ ulty members, asking them to identify any overlap among departments or colleges that might be addressed, said Sawyer. Faculty were also asked to identify potential advantages or disadvantages of reorganization and to give any ideas of possible collaboration between depart­ ments or colleges. Sawyer said, This [committee] is only questioning whether change should take place [within the structure of the colleges]." " No decisions have been made con­ cerning whether changes [in the colleges] should take place," she said. From the surveys sent to faculty, 140 were returned to the committee.

Resources, advice available from equity advocates Bryan Scott Staff Writer If students at Appalachian State University feel they have been treated unfairly by another member of the Ap­ palachian community, there is a place to go for help. The Equity Office offers a variety of services to help students, faculty and administrators who they have been treated inequitably by reasons such as sex, race or age discrimination. "The advocates serve as a valuable resource for our faculty and staff, as they listen to their concerns and provide in­ formation about equity issues in ways that will positively impact Appalachian's quality of life," said Equity Office Asisistant Director, Linda Robinson. Equity advocates have been cho­ sen from various departments of the uni­ versity to assemble a diverse group.

Apparently, this whole meat-eating issue has taken the opinion section by storm here at The Appalachian. First, there's a staff editorial de­ fending the dwindling number of carnivores on cam­ pus. Then there's an article that systematically pecks apart each section of the staff editorial like so much chicken feed. Wow! Now you're asking yourself why I decided to throw in my two cents worth. Well, the answer is not as simple as I'd like it to be. I have seen both sides of the meat-eating controversy. Personally, I am quite the omnivore, with many carnivoric ten­ dencies (vegetables aren't exacdy a high priority in my diet). However, my best friend is vegan and has been for three years now. My ex-girlfriend is a macrobiotic vegan. In light of this, I have seen many anti-meat, animal rights-type propaganda and tend to know more than the average bear on the subject. This whole debate seems to boil down to one simple truth: do what you want to do. Don't do some­ thing for anyone other than yourself. If you believe eating meat is wrong, that's fine; it's your personal decision to make. Conversely, if you believe eating meat is just fine, feel free to patronize the eating establishment of your choice. I understand that vegetarians and vegans want to make others aware of the abuse that animals raised for the food industry are forced to endure. Under the Constitution, that's their right. The thing is, you're not going to convert anybody by shoving your ideas down their gullet. Present your personal beliefs and ideals in a calm, rational manner and if someone wants to know more, fine. They can ask you. Don't accuse anybody of being a murderer. It's not like when we meat-eaters feel the need for a steak, we step outside with a chainsaw and go saw off some cow's rear. Okay, now for the real reason I wrote this article. Upon reading Andrew Greenberg's re­ buttal to the staff edito­ rial on meat-eating, I just had to say some­ thing. The first thing that strikes me as rather odd is the headline. Titled, 'There is no good reason to eat meat," the article systematically "rebukes" any and all "points" made in the staff editorial. The thing is, the staff editorial wasn't trying to make any points other than the one I just talked about: don't disre­ gard someone else's opinion just because it's not your own. Mr. Greenberg states that observations made by the writer of the staff editorial are, "nothing more than direct character attacks on vegetarians." Char­ acter attacks? Where? Never was it said that veg­ etarians are evil and should be exterminated. Never was it said that they are bad people. Simple obser- vations were made about shirts, noticing anti-meat eating propaganda, and that some vegetarians and/ or vegans become "aggressive or even hostile." What these observations boil down to are just that; obser­ vations. It is very hard to miss some amount of antimeat activity on campus. There are plenty of antimeat eating t-shirts around. And yes, in fact, there are some vegetarians or vegans who are "aggressive or even hostile" towards carnivores. However, I do agree with Mr. Greenberg in his assessment of the statement, "They would like you to believe that they are simply out to lib­ erate animals (like ani­ mals know the difference anyway)." This state­ ment was absentminded and didn't make any sense. But, Mr. Greenberg is not off the hook just yet. His article does make some valid points. However, much of what he is try­ ing to say gets muddied up in defining words and specifically carving up the staff editorial word by word. Because of this, I didn't get much of the point that the headline led me to believe was in there. It may very well be in there, but I couldn't find much of it. To bring this to a close (hopefully), everyone needs to brush up a little on their "respect others" skills. Do what you want to do, and don't bring down others for doing what they want to do. Can't we all just get along? "Don't disregard someone else's opinion just because it's not your own." Rock and Roll is dead and I feel fine better than most others. But, hey, they were the Beades. And with the Rolling Stones chugging away John Starling their blues driven rock beside them, rock would never be the same. It would die.

Some people think that retreading tired sounds will some day bring Old Man Rock out of his coffin. Sorry, I'm not talking about Elvis, rock's first living cliche. But he's dead, too, just in case you weren't sure. The only things that kept people rooting for rock all these years were the occasional gems, like Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, Brian Eno's Another Green World and David Bowie's Low. (These are just examples, mind you. Don't get your little panties in a tissy. There were others.) Real innovations like these were few and far between. There are even fewer today. As much as I like them, Nirvana was not an in­ novation. They were a bastardized fluke with really catchy songs. Green Day is the Buzzcocks, Jr. No Doubt is No Good. Phish smells. There have only been a few artists who have re­ ally done interesting things in the past few years: Tool, Tricky, Aphex Twin, Wu "fang Clan and a hand­ ful of others. Notice one thing about these artists. None of them are rock bands! There's not many people who will admit what is glaringly obvious. Rock is dead, dead, dead. And so it should be. It served its purpose and influenced a hell of a lot of bands to get off their duffs and create. What they created was either a retread or, occasion­ ally, something different. Some little spark. That's all it really takes. One iota of creativity and the balls to do something with it. Still most people want to settle. And if that's what they're happy with, so be it. I don't want to change them. Let them rot in their own regurgitation. Music is creation, not cannibalism. And being a vegan doesn't excuse you: you're still cleaning the plate that someone else made. r Letters to the Editor Picture turns heads To the Editor: lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion." Homosexuals say that their tendencies stem form genetics; others say they are developed in certain environments. Still others insist that homosexuality is a spiritual problem. The apostle Paul describes the practice of homosexuality as unnatural-distorted by the ruinous influence of sin in the world. Homosexual orientation may originate from the actions of others-or from less apparent causes. Whatever the immediate cause, homosexual activity distorts God's original design for sex. While people may not be re­ sponsible for their orientation, they are responsible for what they choose to do with it. I am writing in response to the article writ­ ten in The Appalachian on October 16,1997 en­ titled "Straight Talk on Gay Love." I have no prob­ lem with people who are homosexual. They have the right to have their own views, they have their own club (B-GLAD), and they have their own day (coming out day). What I do have a problem with is their homosexual views plastered all over the school newspaper. I also wonder what the B-GLAD'ers expect from the rest of the students here at ASU when they paint the tunnel from top to bottom in gay propaganda. I don't wish to have homosexual views shoved down my throat, (ex­ cuse the pun). I am also appalled at the decision "IYavis McKinney to print a picture of two homosexuals kissing by ASU Box 18039 The Appalachian. I should be entitled to read the school newspaper without finding what I equate to a homosexual centerfold. Thank You.

You have lost all integrity by publishing a full page ar­ ticle on homosexuals and their big coming out party This shows the liberal bias of your paper and its in­ ability to print articles that appeal to both conserva­ tives and liberals. I bet if the Young Republican club did something in the community, you probably wouldn't give it the time of day, but if a bunch of gays spray paint a tunnel, that's real news. I wish they would just "stay in the closet" because I don't want to see them out of it! Again, I'm very dis­ appointed in The Appalachian in their showing a lack of fairness in reporting. Nathan Kennedy ASU Box 17880 To the Editor: On a recent visit to your campus, I was dis­ gusted by the picture appearing in the Oct. 16 edition of The Appalachian beside the article Straight talk on gay love." Your revolting pic­ ture off two gay men kissing not only labels your paper as a joke, but brings down the public im­ age of your university. Do you not have any­ thing better to write about there? But then again, I suppose "journalists" who would pub­ lish something such as that have as little respect for their university as the homosexuals who seem to flock there.

And he thrives on those Actions as an engine feeds on gaso­ Those convictions have made him stand out from other Appalachian State University students, and also from other international students. "A lot of international students maybe forget where they come from," Javier said. 'They (Americans) expect in­ ternational students to say everything is nice, everything is wonderful in America. I don't have to be this way." He hasn't said everything is won­ derful. In fact, Javier has quite a bit to say about Americans. Javier first let ASU students know how he felt in a letter to the editor ap­ pearing in the Sept. 16 issue of The Appa­ lachian. In it he said, "I want to go back to my country to tell about a wonderful place I know, but I can't...." Javier said that he feels this way because of what he has seen here: people killing themselves with drugs, and a soci­ ety based on materialism. Javier did not get any response to his letter. "You continue to use mushrooms. You continue to use pills. You continue to use LSD, acid, hashish. Why do people say 'Oh, good article' if they don't think about it. It's this kind of superficiality that I hate." Nor did he get any response when he tried to question University policies. He wanted to know why the door at the end of his hall on the International Hall in East could not be open during the day since there are classes and professor's of­ fices on his hall. When he asked, university offi­ cials told him just to accept it. He said that people were amazed when he questioned the university's deci­ sion and wanted to do something about it. He has concluded that people just don't care-or don't think. "People here are like machines. They just do, and don't question," Javier said. 'They are afraid to question the sys­ tem and or do anything about it." He said that things are different at his university. "Students take responsibility for themselves. There are student organiza­ tions to fight drugs. We don't have RA's to watch over us because people take respon­ sibility for themselves." He said that he feels American students are different because they have it easier. "Here you can say, 'Oh, I'm young. I'll be serious when I leave the university'." But he said that in Costa Rica it is very expensive to go to college, and even more difficult to stay in because most students have to help provide for younger brothers and sisters. The economy is suffering in Javier's homeland. His older brother had to move to Canada to find economic op­ portunity. Many of his country's problems, as far as he can see, come from the United States government. So, why did Javier come to the United States if he has so many prob­ lems with it? Javier, now 25, graduated from the university in San Jos6 and is a history teacher for students between junior high and high school ages. He came to the United States so that when he teaches North American his­ tory he will know what he is talking about. "I wanted to see your real culture not just imagine by t.v.

T Editor-in-chief Arms and legs flowing like waves at high tide might be a phrase used to de­ scribe the performances of students and professors this past weekend at the North Carolina Dance Festival. The festival was brought to life by the Theatre and Dance department of Ap­ palachian State university in Valborg The­ atre last Thrusday-Saturday. The festival introduced the audience to modern dance, ASU style. The music ranged from David Byrne and Lyle Lovett to Baka Forrest People. The music was an integral part of incorporating the feeling of the dancers to the audience. What was the feeling? That was for the audience to decide. On display were students in col­ orful garb moving their bodies to themes from abusive relationships to colors of the day. Appalachian State was one of three universities to host the festi­ val. The University of North Caro­ lina at Greensboro and Chapel Hill were the two other schools that hosted. ASU choreographers were not the only ones strutting their stuff. Chore­ ographers from all over the state were on hand to showcase what they had to offer ASU students in the department asked for a chance to dance in the fall. They usually have a performance in the spring Which they prepare for all semes­ ter Students and professors had about a month to prepare for the festi­ val. "It was a really relaxed at­ mosphere," said ASU senior Janet Materdo, who performed in the first show, "Colors of the Day." Materdo also said that the department as a whole wants to get modern dance as a major. "The in­ terest is constantly growing and new courses are being added," she said. Professors got into the act in the final performance on Thurs­ day night in "Benediction" with ASU senior Meredith McCarroll. Adjunct faculty member Regina James and assistant professor Susan Lutz of the department moved in motion to the music of Baka Forest People, Dead Can Dance, Mouth Music and David Byrne. Senior Anneka Foushee com­ mented on watching her professor's performances, "They showed strong movement and did a great job," she said. • Associate professor Marianne Adams of Theatre and Dance was pleased with the audience's response. "Modern dance is an individualistic art form which most students do not get a chance to see. It is another way they (stu­ dents) can learn," said Adams about the importance of the festival. Adams is hopeful for a major in modem dance, but right now there is onlv one dance studio and the department re ally needs another to have a better shot at getting the major. The department hopes to get a chance to host the event again next year. ASU was sent an invitation to this year to host and responed in rare form. The The­ atre and Dance department deserves a big "encore" for "their" festival. ooking for idiots: A guide for the college student >w to survive the need to feed without Mom's home cookin' a Beery Writer After eating Mom's home cooking ®11 break, many of us realize we use some direction in the kitchen.

Creason lists his most useful kitchen asset as a saute pan, which is like a skillet. "You can cook almost anything in one of those." Creason says that when he is short on time, he cooks some easy, fast meals. He suggests, "Any pasta— like spa­ ghetti or fettuccine, good 'ole hot-dogs or hamburgers, and even steak doesn't take very long." Creason said students will start to enjoy cooking once they realize that eating out is expensive, not always nutri­ tious, and sometimes not even good. Stu­ dents need to learn this valuable skill now be­ fore they're out in the real world. S h e r y 1 Wittenbach, of Appalachian's Family and Consumer Sciences department, says that students need to learn good eating habits now. She said the one thing students do terribly wrong in eating is avoid vegetables, whether they eat on or off cam­ pus. Wittenbach said, "Most Americans take in too many fats and proteins, even ath­ letes." She suggests, "When you're look­ ing for a snack, it's important that you look for products lower in fat." When speaking about nutrition, Wittenbach said, "We need to be more of label readers." She said that taking time to look at the box, before we buy a food, can even save us time. "Find products that you just have to finish off. Products with just a little bit of processing save you time," she said. Wittenbach suggest foods like tur­ key patties, which are lower in fat, but see Mom page 6 Eat simply and eat well, home cooked style John Farrell Staff Writer Home-cooked food. One thing that is normal in every college student is their desire for a good home-cooked meal. Every college student misses sit­ ting down to a plateful of delicious foods that quench every yearning taste bud: corn, green beans, turkey or ham, dinner rolls and other various items are often found on the dinner table. While away at college the aver­ age student tries to imitate that homecooked quality, but never quite duplicates it. This process brings a lot of grief to students who live in residence halls. For example, one bright individual suddenly gets the feel­ ing of hunger from the deep recesses of his stomach. He decides to be spontaneous and cook himself a meal that requires a lot of oven-time and atten­ tion. Nothing wrong with this right? Un­ less, of course, the time just so happens to be one of those hours of the wee morning. A time when any normal person should be asleep. What comes of this innocent little ren­ dezvous? A fire drill. A noise so obnox­ iously loud that it could drive anyone and everyone out of their minds (especially at two o'clock in the morning) and possibly even wake the dead. Therefore, I present a solution: don't cook such extravagant meals early in the morning or late at night. If you do, make sure you keep a constant eye on it. There are a lot of options one can choose to cooking that have a touch of home-cooked style and a whole lot of de­ licious taste. The recipe below is for a food that has been a favorite of mine since I was little; French Pancakes. They're not hard to cook and everyone will enjoy them, even if they're not cooked at home by mother. Before you start you need to make sure you have a twelve-inch skillet, a stick of butter, a half a cup of regular flour (not the presifted kind), a half cup of milk, two eggs, nutmeg, lemon juice, and powde sugar. First, melt the stick of butter in the twelve-inch skillet. When the melted but­ ter begins to froth or bubble, pour in the batter. The batter is a mixture of the half cup of flour, the half cup of milk, the two eggs slightly beaten, and a pinch of nut­ meg. Once you have mixed the batter and the melted butter together in the twelveinch skillet, put the skillet in the oven. Cook it for fifteen to twenty minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit. When it is done cooking, take it see Simply page 6 �The Appalachian 23 Page 6 The Russian bear is dead but don't forget the nuke Adrian Cho Staff Writer The Cold War is over. The Soviet Union has collapsed. The countries of the Eastern Block have asserted their independence and have established friendly re­ lations with Western Europe and the United States. And still we cannot sleep through the night for fear of a nuclear war. Or so said antinuclear ac­ tivist, Ralph M. Hutchison, when he addressed the Watauga Chautauqua, the weekly seminar for freshmen in the Watauga Col­ lege program, Wednesday after­ noon, in the Legends Social Club. Hutchison, a Presbyterian minister serving a small congrega­ tion in Dandridge, Tennessee, is the coordinator of the Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance (OREPA). It's a grassroots public interest group devoted to the is­ sues of nuclear weapons produc­ tion and environmental clean up at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Hutchison has served on an EPA advisory committee and a state steering panel in charge of a study of health in Oak Ridge. In his slide and lecture pre­ Among the opportunities presented by the end of the Cold War, Hutchison listed the chance to encourage greater trust and co­ operation between nations. More opportunities were the chance to make a full accounting of the stores of plutonium and enriched uranium throughout the world, the chance to develop protocols for the permanent and safe disposal of such material, and the chance to begin to repair the environmen­ tal damage done during the Cold War. Hutchison worried that these opportunities might be lost for a lack of initiative on the part of the United States. He said,'The fact is that there is an opportunity now to lead the world away from the threat of nuclear war, but the United States is not necessarily taking that lead." Hutchison offered evi­ dence to support his claim that, in spite of the absence of an obvious threat, the U.S. is committed to maintaining its nuclear capabili­ ties. He noted that the U.S. is still manufacturing nuclear weapons and that earlier this year it even commissioned a new one, the first in over 15 years, the B6111, an earth penetrating bomb. He also said that the U.S. has sentation, which he entitled Nuclear Weapons at the Crossroads: Which Path Will We Take? Hutchison told the freshmen in A.S.U.'s resi­ dential college program, "The challenges that face us as we stand on the edge of the 21st century did not dissolve with the Cold War's end; in fact, they are greater than ever before." According to Hutchison, rather than eliminating the nuclear threat, the end of the Cold War has instead presented the world, and the United States in particular, with a number of dangers and op­ portunities. In identifying the dangers, Hutchison noted that more nations than ever have, or can acquire nuclear technology. Other dangers are that instability in Russia and elsewhere has made it possible that nuclear materials and weap­ ons will be stolen and sold to the highest bidder, and that nuclear materials are inadequately con­ trolled. He also stated that Russia and the U.S. are now inundated with plutonium and uranium from dismantled weapons, and he stressed that no one has thought of a way to dispose of the vast amounts of nuclear waste that have been accumulating for de­ cades.

Ironically enough, Wofford though small in stature leads the all time series with Appalachian State, 7-6. Wofford's main talents are in the running game. Last week in a 17-7 victory over Western Carolina, Wofford posted 325 rards of rushing. 71 of 72 total offensive plays were rushing plays. For Wofford, the victory marked the end of an eight-game losing streak to the Catamounts. With its strong rushing attack Wofford is the complete of­ fensive opposite of Appalachian. Wofford has passed for 262 yards for the year, while Appalachian has passed for 1,688 yards Many NFL scouts con­ sider Terrier center Dan Smith the best professional prospect in the conference. Following closely with Smith is Wofford tight end Matt Lockhart. Scouts consider Lockhart's 6-7,270 size a big plus. "We expect a tough, physi­ cal game from Wofford," said Ap­ palachian Coach Jerry Moore. "Coach Ayers and his staff have done a great job in their first year in the conference." This game, like all others represents a must win situation for the Mountaineers. With both teams at 2-2 in conference play, the contest will be pivotal for each squad. "We have to play with emotion and enthusiasm and ex­ ecute in every phase of the game to be successful," Moore said. "Any slip up can cost a team in this league."

Left and below: Mem­ bers of PAL used ban­ ners, signs and animal costumes to display their advocacy of animal rights outside of Boone's McDonald's (photos by Jeremy Ball) Leslie Hitchcock Staff Writer Warranting numerous complaints from dormitory residents, construction on the roofs of select Appalachian State University residence halls has proven frustrating to administration and stu­ dents alike. The residence halls being affected are Cone, Doughton, Hoey, Lovill and Winkler Halls. The roofing projects are necessary because the university aims to avoid major complications with the old roofs, said Associate Director for Housing Op­ erations Thomas F. Wright. "(The university) is trying to put new roofs on before students recognize there is a problem," he said. Some students have wondered why this project wasn't completed be­ fore students arrived, to avoid hassle, and Wright said the construction com­ pany itself is responsible for the delayed construction. The company, AAR, digressed from their approved schedule, missing required start dates eight consecutive times, said Wright. They were contracted in early June and given a notice to proceed with the roofing project July 11, which al­ lowed them to begin construction im­ mediately. The first start date AAR missed was July 22, and they did not start the roofing projects until Oct. 1, Wright said. Due to schedule problems, the anticipated completion date has been moved from Nov. 15 to Dec. 28, he said. The roofers are moving more quickly than anticipated. If AAR progresses at this rate, the project should be completed before Dec. 28, Wright said. Wright estimates that each resi­ dence hall project will take three weeks to complete. Wright said the roofs are not be­ ing replaced due to a prevalent envi­ ronmental concern, such as asbestos. Alpha Environmental took insula­ tion samples from the old roofs and the results did not warrant an asbestos abatement, Wright said. The samples taken also meet state and federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) require­ ments, he said. With each new project, the De­ partment of Housing and Residence Life gives residents 48-hours' notice before the construction begins. Officials send letters of notifica­ tion to residence halls to alert students of the construction, Wright said. Despite this, many students are not happy. Several living in residence halls have expressed concerns with the tim­ ing of the construction projects. Students in Winkler Hall have ex­ perienced migraine headaches and al­ lergic reactions to the tar, said senior Jennifer Rarrish, a resident of Winkler Hall. One resident even broke into hives as a result of tar fumes, she said. Several students have also been struck by falling roofing debris, she said. Similarly, residents in Hoey Hall have complained of the smell of tar and the noise of construction. 'As much as I enjoy sitting in my room and getting high from tar fumes, 1 wish they would finish the project as soon as possible," said freshman Dan R. Holman from Atlanta, GA. Freshman W. Hill Hudson of Shelby has tried to find some positive aspect to the roofing project. "At least we don't need alarm clocks anymore (thanks to the noise)," Hudson said.

Appalachian's chapter of People for Animal Liberation (PAL) let the community know what they think of Happy Meals and Quarter Pounders last Thursday afternoon in a protest march lasting from 5 to 6 p.m. N. Robrina Walker, a sophmore from Mocksville and president of PAL, said the group had about 15 student participants in the march which she said was to "raise awareness" about McDonald's treat­ ment of animals and people. "McDonald's encompases every­ thing that is bad about major multina­ tional corporations," Walker said. She said that PAL decided to protest McDonald's because it is so large and is notorious for abusing animals and exploit­ ing workers. Walker said that she hoped that the PAL protest would raise awareness to help to reduce McDonald's business and per­ suade them to offer more food options. The protesters chanted slogans like "Cows are tortured, chicks are maimed. Ronald McDonald is to blame."

Allen conceived the idea for a national contest. Originally, he wanted to open the contest only to students, but was advised by an attorney to make the opportunity available to all interested. However, he has incorpo­ rated a special stipulation for col­ lege students, he said. All who enter the contest must pay an entry fee. College stu­ dents must send $50 with their News Editor Contest info Essay Contest c/o Saddle Sore Limited Liability Co. 522 Hwy. 93 N. #1 Hamilton, MT 59840 essay, while all others must send a fee of $100. Allen will compensate the loss of his restaurant through these entry fees, he said. In addition, he will only continue the contest if he receives at least 3,000 en­ tries to justify the loss; if 3,000 essays are not received, he will return all entry fees. The essay itself must be 500 words or less and must describe why the writer most deserves ownership of the restau­ rant. Allen stressed that grammar and other mechanics will not be judged. 'The judging will be based on content only," he said. A panel of five judges will choose the top five entries. Members of the Hamilton community will choose the new owner of Bad Bubba's. he said. Although this may seem like a scam too good to be true, Allen assures all pos­ sible entrants that this is no joke. His busi­ ness is registered with both the Better Business Bureau and the Chamber of Commerce, he said. In addition, Allen wants prospective contestants to know they aren't getting a lemon. 'The restaurant is very successful with locals," he said. "It's a very easy res­ taurant to run, and there's a great trained crew there already." The restaurant opened in 1994 and has had a considerable gross of $300,00 to $400,000 per year, he said.

"We don't want someone to come here and have a bad experience," he said. All entrants should realize that winning the contest would mean moving to Montana or hir­ ing someone to run the restaurant, Allen said.

The lack of support continues with pro>ors who sometimes fail to support the uniiity, whether intentionally or not.

The number of marijuana arrests in 1996 neared 642,000 (the most in world history), which brings the number of marijuana arrests since 1965 to well over 10 million. I certainly feel much safer now. And knowing I won't be attacked by any "drug-crazed" potheads gives me the feeling that our tax dollars and very limited state and federal re­ sources are prudendy spent to convict these vicious criminals. Who knows, if their not locked away now their next crime could be as heinous as riding their bike without a helmet Our government spends approximately $40 bil­ lion a year to make about one million drug arrests (the largest number of which are for the possession of marijuana), only to fight a losing batde in the socalled 'war on drugs". This costly war is allegedly waged to keep America safe. But safe from what? The following is meant to provide some insight into the "terrible menace" of marijuana. Marijuana is now the common name for can­ nabis sativa L., or the hemp plant. Unlike alcohol, nicotine, opiates or cocaine, marijuana is not addic­ tive. No human deaths from cannabis ingestion have ever been documented. Since no human fatalities have occurred, all information on the toxicity of mari­ juana has come from studies on mice. The amount of cannabinoids required for a lethal mouse dosage are staggering; Dr. Lester Grinspoon of the Harvard School of Medicine has reported that the amount of marijuana necessary to kill a mouse is approximately 40,000 times the amount given to a full grown hu­ man to produce a "high." Marijuana has been documented as having me­ dicinal values, which include helping ease the nau­ sea of chemotherapy, helping AIDS patients eat, ef­ fectively treating glaucoma, epilepsy, asthma, mi­ graine headaches and a host of other ailments. Ironically, the first law to govern cannabis in America, passed by the Virginia Assembly in 1619, required its growth. George Washington grew hemp as a primary crop at Mt. Vernon and Thomas Jefferson grew the plant as a secondary crop at Monticello. Perhaps just as ironic, our original Declaration of In­ dependence and Constitution are both printed on hemp paper. Hemp can be used to make excellent tree-free paper without the harsh acids used in 20th century paper-making. Prior to the invention of the cotton gin, most paper and clothing in the United States were made from hemp rags. Original "blue jeans" were made from discarded hemp canvas (Dutch for cided that hemp must be done away with. cannabis ) that western settlers had brought as To this day, DuPont is the second leading donor wagon covers.

There is no good reason to eat meat Andrew Greenberg Guest Columnist (This article was written in response to an article written in the October 2 edition about vegetarians.) Once again it seems that The Appalachian's read­ ers are subjected to another poorly defended point of view, this time on the subject of meat-eaters' rights. In the interest of fairness, it becomes necessary for someone to step in and present the facts instead of a random collection of haphazardly assembled com­ plaints. Lest the students of Appalachian State Univer­ sity think that the opinions in the article "Meat-eaters should not be tenderized" are based on sound argu­ ments, the writers' major points will be rebuked in an effort to defend the lifestyles of vegetarians and vegans. The first way that the writers try to discredit a vegetarian lifestyle is by stereotyping all vegetarians as ruthless, annoying people whose only concern in life is to pester meat-eaters. Phrases such as "It's hard to be a student...without hearing about it," and see­ ing "shirt[s] depicting people who eat it as bad," and "vegetarians become aggressive and even hostiie" are nothing more than direct character attacks on veg­ etarians. These inaccurate phrases provide clues to the writers' obvious bias and should be regarded as only petty complaints, and not bona fide evidence to sup­ port their thesis. In the next paragraph, the writers cite examples that presume "all" people can relate to the experi­ ence. They condescendingly mention a "cute little comment" made by "new age herbivores." Not only are the writers subtly insulting vegetarians by call­ ing their views "cute," but in the process they affirm a stereotype that all vegetarians are "new age." Why would the writers stereotype people with whose views they disagree? The answer is that the writers have no valid argument to make regarding 'meat-eaters' rights' and so must resort to infantile character attacks. This fact leads to exposure of the first fallacy in the article, ad hominem, a fallacious attack in which the thrust is directed, not at a conaccident, or applying a principle that is true of a particular case to the great run of cases. In the phrase, "Cruel to animals. What about cruel to humans?" the writers commit their third fal­ lacy, the fallacy of equivocation. Equivocation is con­ fusing the meaning of a word or phrase-accidentally or deliberately-in the formulation of an argument. The fallacy occurs when the writers fail to make the distinction between these two very different meanings of the word cruelty. The writers' definition of cruelty to humans is "hav[ing] other people tell them what is in their Big Mac." The meaning of the word cruel in this context is inconvenient or annoy­ ing. Cruelty to ani­ mals can be defined by it's constituent el­ ements: the death of 120 million animals each week for food in the United States, the misery of the 85 mil­ lion pigs who live in stacked crates on barren cement walls, and the trauma felt by a young veal calf after being separated from its mother. Cruelty in this context means the infliction of unnecessary, barbaric mental or physical torture that causes suffering. This is the word's definition in the truest sense of the word. It is not the ridiculous protest that the writers would have the reader believe. By not differentiating between the two senses of the word cruel and by intention­ ally manipulating their meanings, the writers have effectively nullified any validity that this argument might have had. In that very same paragraph the writers make the remark: 'They would like you to believe that they are simply out to liberate animals (like animals know the difference anyway)." There are three problems with this argument." The first is the assumption that all vegetarians are animals rights activists, which is not true. Another is that the writers imply by saying, "would like you to believe" that animal rights activ­ ists are somehow trying to dupe the public into be­ lieving something untrue or that they have some sort of hidden agenda. That assertion is incorrect. Ani-. mal rights activists want only one thing—animal rights. What other goal could they possibly have? Do the writers believe they are actually little green men from Mars who want to take over the world, but they are only dressed like animal rights activists? Even if they were human, does the role as activist strike the writers as especially inconspicuous? I think not. "Like animals know the difference anyway." This is a very interesting statement. What the writers are trying to tell us is that animals do not know the dif­ ference between captivity and freedom. One can only assume that the writers' line of reasoning goes some­ thing like this: "If an animal is brought up its whole life in captivity, never knowing or even conceiving of freedom, then it would never want to be free; because it can't want something that it has never known or conceived." Any behavioral sci­ entist would deny the truth of that statement. Any animal knows freedom. They are not genetically programmed to exist in tiny metal cages or cramped stalls. Since animals are built to perform specific locomotive functions like walk­ ing, running, and swimming, (instead of being born in the shape of a square with no limbs or tails) obvi­ ously animals were intended to do these things. Therefore, animals naturally know and want to be physically free. In conclusion, I have shown why the writers are wrong in every major point that they have tried to make. In the unedited version of this column, I re­ spond to each individual sentence of the article. Hope­ fully, this response will, at the very least, cause some readers to realize that many beliefs concerning ani­ mals are based on nothing more than false claims, ignorance, and close-mindedness. "(Animals) are not genetically programmed to exist in tiny metal cages or cramped stalls."' �1 he Appalachianj^, Campus Life iaitnteh I0 it s • mrnmmmmmmmmmmmM 7fjhe Cone Manor stands off of the Blue Ridge Parkway as a monument to the past. But many question whether it includes too much. Maybe there's a little living history that is supposed to be : -: • •.• •:;-y : ; dead. (photo by Richard Nathan Hall Jeremy Ball Staff Writer Campus Life Editor r. and Mrs. Cone's pictures had been hanging together , on a ground floor wall in their Home ever since Mrs. Cone's death, when the National Parks Service took over their estate. There had always been something weird about those photos. Some say that they lean toward each other, neither spirit ever able to part paths, even in eternity. One evening, though, the deci­ sion was made to separate the couple. Moses Cone's picture was moved to an­ other part of the house. The park ranger took the old black and white photograph off the wall and walked into the next room, where he had already driven the nails to hang the picture. After hanging the picture, he tested it to make sure it was secure, bal­ ancing and re-balancing it until he was satisfied. Once he was sure it was stable, M he turned his back, thinking the job was completed and he could get back to more important tasks that weren't so supersti­ tious. He turned and walked toward the door. Before he reached it, though, he heard the sound of shattering glass. He ran back to see the old picture of Cone covered in broken fragments of glass in the smashed antique frame. Cone's picture was promptly re­ turned to its place beside his wife. This is the type of story you'll hear if you take one of the graveyard tours at the Cone Manor. Each year many Appa­ lachian State University students visit the Cone Estate and take a tour or just take in the view or gift shop. The estate is lo­ cated just off the Blue Ridge Parkway near Blowing Rock. Most students, however, are not familiar with its rich and interest­ ing history, and the mystery that is asso­ ciated with it. A beautiful place with a view of the Blue Ridge.vast lands, the manor at­ tracts thousands of visitors each year. But many strange and eerie sto­ ries have surrounded it for years. Guests at the Cone Manor often report seeing mysterious images of Mrs. Cone (Bertha) in her black funeral dress or hearing un­ explained noises at night. Moses and Bertha Cone were very close, according to the current park ranger, Roger Rick. After Moses Cone's untimely death in 1908, Bertha was left in control of the entire estate. This included upkeep of the apple orchards, lakes, livestock and carriage trails that her husband had so dearly loved. Mrs. Cone did an excellent job of maintaining Cone Manor, and re­ mained in control until her death. In her will she donated the estate to the State of North Carolina. But she also had a very strange stipulation. She insisted that no one should ever be al­ lowed inside the house, and she even de­ manded that it be boarded up and sealed off forever. However, the state could not af­ ford to upkeep the grounds without any revenue coming from them. So, not only are people allowed inside the house, but a crafts store was built into the ground floor. Also, many of the original build­ ings were torn down, and for some time much of the grounds were left to ruin. Although Ranger Rick said he has never experienced "anything un­ usual" in the time that he has lived on the estate, he explained that many people, even in recent years have seen and heard things that they cannot ex­ plain. One such person is Meredith A. McCarroll, a senior from Waynesville. McCarroll worked in the gift shop at the Cone Manor this summer. She said that she is not a superstitious person, but she always hated to go on the second and third floors. They are off limits to guests and are mainly used for storage. One day this summer, though, McCarroll had to go upstairs to get some­ thing for the craft shop. She started walk­ ing up the long ornate staircase. Quilts made by local artists hung on the railing. Suddenly, she got a really creepy feeling, but she kept walking. Then she saw it: reaching over one of the quilts was a dark hand.

There's tender moients, rocking moments and a bit f odd-ball introspection, but as a /hole it is sheer musical pleasure. Sticky were a bunch of allege grads (from right here at SU) who kept to the short-sweet esthetics of rock and roll. They ad an infectious vibe that ignited i/eryone who ever saw them. But lis sounds like a eulogy. No, they're not dead. Just ane. Thank goodness they had lis recorded to leave us some- thing to remember them by. "The Probability" starts the disc off with a slow building rocker, eventually rising to a fullbore rage. "You've Got a Weird Way" showcases Chip Taylor's finely crafted song-writing ability and penetrates deep with a tale of lost love. The definite hit off this record is 'The Big Ones (Goldar, Silvar and Gam)", an odd-time rocker with an indelible lyric about growing up and out of the things of childhood, followed closely by the infectious "Get Around", which will probably be unfairly hitched with Beach Boys tag because of the title. It rocks a bit harder than the Wilsons ever could. "Pete Best" is another sad tale about growing up, rather, coming to realizations about your life. To quote what £hip said at show more than a year ago, "Any­ one who's worth their salt that knows anything about rock and roll knows who Pete Best is." The song speaks for itself. Closing out the EP is John Hawkin's churning "I'd Id", one of my personal favorites since I first heard it more than two years ago. It's melodic and soft one minute and dirgey the next. It just flatout rocks. It's a shame that it took almost a year and a half to get this EP out. Who knows, it may have cost us one of the greatest bands in North Carolina. Still, we should be thanking the Gods for giving us this blessing of an EP Get this to­ day Let Sticky help you harness the power of rock. Five stars (Out of five) Hillside Grocery NEED CASH?

Sports Mountaineers deep-fry Eagles 24-12 Baker passes for 296 yards as Appalachian keeps playoff hopes alive Justin Griffin Sports Editor 'They lined it up and they beat our butts," said Georgia Southern Coach Paul Johnson after Appalachian's 24-12 victory over the Eagles Saturday. With the win, the Mountaineers kept hope alive for an NCAA playoff berth and perhaps an upper echelon finish in the Southern Conference final standings. The momentous part of the game for the Mountaineers was the third quarter, when they outscored Georgia Southern 21-0, holding the Eagles to 93 yards total offense. "I don't think it would have mattered who we were playing today," said ASU quarterback Bake Baker. "We were just determined to do whatever we had to do to win today." a Mountaineer defensive lineman Jackie Avery said that a big difference between the two games prior to the Georgia Southern contest was that the Mountaineers weren't enjoying themselves. 'The main thing for us this week was to just have fun," said Avery. For Baker, the game against Georgia Southern marked an aniversary of sorts. A year ago at Georgia Southern, Baker took the reigns of an offensively impotent team and hasn't looked back since. Baker said after the game that he was in the right situation at the right time last year, and that "things had just worked out." For senior tailback Gerard Hardy, who ran for 108 yards, the contest against Georgia Southern was a return appearance. The game marked the first time that Hardy ran for 100+ yards since the Eastern Kentucky contest, when he ran for 116 yards. "It's a lot of fun for me when we use our running game to our advantage, sai Hardy. "The past two ball games, we haven't really had a chance to run the ball as much as I'd like to." The first half was a stalemate despite Appalachian's 202 yards of total offense. Finally, after a first half of mistakes, the Mountaineers were able to get on the board with a 36-yard Chris Barden field goal with :03 remaining in the first half. "We had good drives in the first half, but we just couldn't finish them, Eleven plays and 44 v. tne aerense stopped Georgia once again.

The miscues ended in the second half as the much-improved Mountaineer defense again turned away the Eagles after a four-play, 42-yard drive in the opening minutes of the third quarter. Appalachian took over at their own six-yard line and marched the ball down the field 94 yards, capped off by a 49-yard touchdown run by Gerard Hardy. Down 10-0, the Eagles found themselves in a position they had not been in all year: behind. "They hadn't ever been in a ball game where they had been pushed or had really been behind," said Hardy.

Volleyball defeats ETSU 3-1 T.J. Thomasson Staff Writer Appalachian State held off a late comeback bid by the East Tennessee State University Buccaneers to go 5-1 in their last six volleyball matches. In Johnson City Thursday night, the Mountaineers defeated ETSU in four games, 15-6,15-12, 9-15,15-13. Jennifer Rumfeldt led Appalachian with 16 kills, and Devon Greene added 14. The Mountaineers are now 12-10 on the season and 6-3 in conference play. With the loss, East Tennessee State falls to 4-17 and 2-7 in the Southern Conference. In the first game, Appalachian destroyed the Bucs 15-6, dominating the game with15 kills and only six errors. East Tennessee State was only able to record six kills while committing eight errors. The second game was much more competitive, as Appalachian pulled out a tight 15-12 win. The Mountaineers were more erratic in this game, committing two more errors and getting three less kills than in the first game. East Tennessee State took advantage of Appalachian's reckless play in the third game and won 15-9. The Mountaineers committed 11 errors as the Bucs stayed alive in the match. That was until Appalachian regained control of the match in the fourth game and charged out to a insurmountable 12-5 lead. It looked as if East Tennessee State was about to wave their white flag. But the Bucs raided the net, cutting the Mountaineers' lead to 1413. Then Mountaineers Lori Schott and Tiffany White blocked the comeback attempt to secure the Appalachian victory. The match took just a fraction over two hours to play. Appalachian had beaten East Tennessee State earlier this season in Boone by the same 3-1 margin. East Tennessee State was led in the losing cause by Tennille Cox, who had 20 kills to lead all players. Bree Feist added 16. About 100 people were on hand to see an incredible blocking performance by both teams. East Tennessee State had 36 block assists, breaking the school record of 32 that was set nearly a year ago against the Moccasins of Tennessee-Chattanooga. Summer Cavenaugh recorded a career-high nine block assists, while Alica Arnold added eight. Appalachian had 30 block assists and a solo block by Lori Schott. "The blocking helped us stay in the match. That is one of the things that frustrated Appalachian State," said Bucs head coach Kelly Andrews. The Mountaineers look to continue their strength as they play out a road streak that will last through Halloween. Next on the dockett is Charleston Southern this Friday night. Their next home match will be against the Spartans of UNCGreensboro, Halloween night. The Mountaineers will return to Varsity Gym on Halloween nKp a match against UNCG at 7:00 p.m. (photo by Elizabeth Derks Men's soccer ends winless streak with 2-1 victory over Wofford Rob Holfiday Staff Writer Appalachian ended a nine game winless streak with a 2-1 win over Wofford (photo by Elizabeth Derks) The famine is over. In a Sunday afternoon contest, the Appalachian State men's soccer team picked up a victory, defeating the Wofford Terriers 2-1. A bright spot in a damp, overcast afternoon, the Mountaineers' home victory was their first in Southern Conference competition. Both squads remained scoreless throughout the first half. The first 25 minutes of period two passed by in the same fashion. But with 10:40 left in the contest, sophomore Will Phipps netted a goal to put Appalachian up 1-0. Nine minutes later, Wofford freshman Chris Dewey capitalized off a centering pass to even the count at 1-1. With less than a minute left to play, Appalachian's Naoshi Yamauchi slid a shot past goalkeeper Daniel Wilson to solidify the win. Appalachian outshot Wofford 22- 7, their highest shot tally of the season. "This is a good win for us," said Appalachian Coach Art Rex. "Today we finished some chances and just got the breaks that we haven't been getting all season." For their first home appearance in a month, Appalachian hosted conference foe UNC-Greensboro in a Friday night affair. Will Vick's goal midway through the second half wasn't enough to put Appalachian over the top. The Spartans outshot the Mountaineers 12-7 as they rolled out of Kidd Brewer Stadium with a 2-1 victory. The Mountaineers drew a stalemate with VMI in a 2-2 tie in the final match of their five-game road swing. VMI's Garrett Field registered the only goal of the first half. Mountaineer Mark Hemphill connected ten minutes into the first half to tie the score. Will Phipps found the back of the net at the 84-minute mark to put Appalachian up 2-1. Even with this lead, it was too early to warm up Appalachian's bus; this contest was not over. With 65 seconds left in the match, Keydet Rich Daughtridge put one past Robert Black, forcing an overtime period. Even after two overtime periods, the knot could not be undone. The 2-2 score at the end of regulation became the final. Appalachian ventured southward as they took on the UNC-Asheville Bulldogs. Following a scoreless first half, UNC-Asheville's Kane Lawson put his team up 1-0, converting off a pass from Brian Fairchild. The Mountaineers were unable to overcome this deficit. Though outshooting the Bulldogs 12-11, Appalachian fell 1-0. Four regular-season matches remain for Appalachian. They will travel to Davidson Friday and to Chapel Hill over the weekend. The Mountaineers will then have two more home appearances against Liberty and The Citadel before traveling to Greeneville, S.C. for the Southern Conference Tournament.

With one conference game remaining on the schedule, Appalachian's drive for the S.C. tournament becomes one of complicating scenarios. To secure fourth place and a hosting role in the opening round, the Mountaineers must defeat Chattanooga on the road tomorrow night, a task that shouldn't be too difficult, considering the Mocs entered play last week with a 2-8-1overall mark. Then the game of hurry up and wait begins. Wednesday night also features a key league match between Davidson and Furman. With a Wildcat win, the Mountaineers would be tied with Davidson with 3-2-1 league marks.

Meister, who founded and directs Appalachian's Steely Pan Steel Band, received the $8000 fellowship as part of a program designed to enhance the careers of North Carolina composers. The fellowship award offered Meister two options: he could either record an album of his music or travel. He chose the latter and will visit Trinidad and Tobago for one week this February. The trip will allow Meister to fur­ ther his knowledge of both calypso music and the culture from which it was born, he said. Meister will watch rehearsals of steel bands preparing for the island's annual carnival activities, a festival that began over 200 years ago and has since spawned imitators such as Mardi Gras. He may also purchase a drum for his group while on the island. Although steel drums have only been a part of calypso for the past 50 years, they are still a large part of that culture and the carnival celebration, Meister said. Such ethnicity is a firm aspect of Meister's composing style. He fre­ quently combines sounds and styles of other cultures with 20th century con­ ventions, he said. This, in part, aroused his interest in steel drums. "I'm a percussionist," he said. "That's what we do." Meister has also planned a trip to Ireland to further research Celtic music, his latest fascination, he said. see Steel on page 2 University host to SC student leaders, officials Katie Ward Staff Writer In hopes of working together to solve problems, share ideas and dis­ cuss issues, student leaders and Chief Student Affairs Officers from Southern Conference institutions gathered at a conference hosted last week by Appa­ lachian State University An annual event, the Southern Conference meeting for all Chief Stu­ dent Affairs Officers and Student Gov­ ernment Presidents brings together students and faculty to continue the flow of ideas among different institu­ tions, said Vice Chancellor for Student Development Dr Gregory S. Blimling. "For the past 15 to 20 years, the conference has met to talk about is­ sues and mutually work to solve prob­ lems," said Blimling. Blimling led discussions among the Chief Student Affairs Officers, cov­ ering issues of student travel, health services, student activities, and drug use. Wright Waters, Executive Direc­ tor of the Southern Conference and keynote speaker, spoke on the future of the Southern Conference, how it compares to other conferences and the communality among the institutions.

While Into the Streets has tradition­ ally been spearheaded by members of Appalachian and the Community Together (ACT) and the Student Government As­ sociation (SGA), this year's week was co­ ordinated by a broader coalition of vari­ ous campus personalities, said SGA Ex­ ternal Affairs Chairperson Ehren Meister. Meister, whose SGA position in­ volves him with all community concerns, said SGA has never taken a huge role in Into the Streets. However, this year SGA and other groups joined forces with ACT to provide varying viewpoints to Into the Streets. "We offered both financial and or­ ganizational support," Meister said. "It was a group collaboration." Representatives from 14 campus or­ ganizations and departments collaborated on Into the Streets, said program coordi­ nator and ACT staff member Emily Danahey. "We're hoping the word will get out through this strong coalition," said Danahey. Danahey said the annual week of service will not only provide students with potential volunteer experiences, but will also serve as an opportunity to earn points toward the annual Homecoming point competition. "This year, the university thought volunteering was so important that it made it a part of Homecoming activities," said Danahey. Organizations volunteering with Into the Streets will earn 40 Homecom­ ing points, the most point§ offered for an event in the competition, she said. see Streets on page 3 Student named Watauga County Humane Society's top volunteer Leslie Hitchcock shelters and kennels, and pro­ ceeds from the non-profit con­ cert directly assist the cause, he After proving it is possible to juggle said. school and volunteer work, Appalachian Alston said he foresees State University student Gideon Alston other benefit concerts and plans will be named Watagua County Humane to produce a non-profit concert Society's Volunteer of the Year. every semester.

With feedback as a main ob­ jective, several schools took ideas and suggestions from Appalachian's book rental policy, in hopes of revamping their own bookstores, said Little. Little was pleased with the conference. "Everyone left with at least one idea to take back with them, and that is what it is all about," he said.

The first Watauga County ra­ bies case in six years was reported two weeks ago when a young boy was bitten by a rabid cat in the western part of the county. The recent report has prompted Watauga County's Ani­ mal Control Department to in­ crease vaccination check-ups and keep persistent watch for other possible rabies cases. Assistant County Manager Robert Fry spoke for Watauga County Animal Control. He said, "We believe this to be an isolated incident since the last report was six years ago with the same kind of animal." Dogs are popular pets among these students should be con­ cerned about the rabies case. Of 126 bite reports from 1996, twothirds of that count came from both on and off-campus ASU stu­ dents, said Watauga County Health Department representative John Alley.

There are also several rabies warning signs, said Alley. The "furious" form results in an animal becoming very excited and extremely aggressive, usually foaming at the mouth, said Alley.

According to SGA treasurer David Bowling, money for the judget is received from student fees at a rate of $1.88 per student. Of the total budget, $10,800 provides salaries for the Executive and Legislative Cabinet positions, a $600 decline from years past. This decrease is due to the elimination of the Mountaineer Escort cabinet position. However; the money was disbursed through­ out remaining line items, Bowling said. The newly-adopted SGA budget also filters needed money for supplies, travel, programs such as homecoming, advertising, other services such as Appalnet and other fixed charges, Bowling said. A slight rise was seen in printing and advertising costs, partially due to a change in the student discount card. This is up from last year, because we did not charge the businesses participating in the program," Bowling said. The SGA also allots $50, a fixed charge, for a subscrip­ tion to the Charlotte Observer. If SGA should run out of money, they have the option of going before the budget coun­ cil and requesting a one time allocation of up to ten percent of the yearly budget. Page ^ FRESHLY SLICED OVEN ROASTED ROAST BEEF S R N D UJ I C H Helm explains both state-allocated budget and student fees Leslie Hitchcock said. Staff Writer University budget concerns ind an update on campus contruction were discussed by Vice ;hancellor of Business Affairs lane Helm's address to the Stulent Government Association \iesday. Helm focused on the state mdget for the university, as well is student fees associated with it. "Fees are separate (from the mdget) for services apart from he basic academic program," she Briefly explaining the break­ down of the state-allotted budget, Helm discussed university fees and their impact on students. The factors that influence fees are the level of service, types of students, other sources of rev­ enue and economies of scaie," said Helm. Helm explained that main fees directly affecting students are athletics fees, health service fees, student activity fees and educational and technological fees. "We are limited on how much we can raise fees. We try to meet the needs of students before we make recommenda­ tions (for changes)," she said. Helm also discussed con­ struction of the convocation cen­ ter, the rerouting of River Street and the impact on both the uni­ versity and Boone. In old business, a motion to accept a new cabinet appoint­ ment was approved. In new busi­ ness, legislation was sent to the rules committee for screening. The week's activities begin tonight at 6:30 with a kickoff event in the student union's Attic Win­ dow Room. Groups and individuals will sign up for volunteer projects to focus on throughout next week, Danahey said. In addition, a list of poten­ tial group volunteer projects is al­ ways available in the ACT office in the student union, she said. Students who sign up for vol­ unteer activities will receive both project ideas and potential con­ tacts within volunteer organiza­ tions. Groups and individuals will participate in service projects all week, Danahey said. In addition, residence halls will hold canned food drives next week for a donation to the area Hunger Coalition, she said. The week culminates next Saturday with a Contra Dance in Legends. Students bringing one canned food item will receive free admission, Danahey said. Members of the community can receive a discounted admission if they bring a can of food, she said. Students or organizations interested in participating in Into the Streets are encouraged to at­ tend the kickoff event tonight. However, Danahey said those interested can join Into the Streets through Oct. 24 if they would like to organize volunteer activities through ACT. Itreets from page 1 In addition to these new elelents, the traditions of Into the treets remain. Through Into the Streets, inividuals and organizations may ledge to improve the university ampus and Boone community trough various service projects nd activities, said Danahey. The main focus of Into the treets is to help individuals and roups find positive volunteer exeriences, Danahey said. "People often have bad volnteer experiences, especially due ) fear of people they work with," le said. "Challenging (one's) normal phere takes guidance and encourgement.

The construction work bejg done on the roofs of Doughton, Lovill, Winkler, lone and Hoey are under way to renovate the Bttered tops. Now is a perfect time to be doing the con­ traction, when students are in full swing with lasses and studying. Students are trying to conentrate on their important studies that will proel them to heights that can only be reached with i college education. Or a huge crane. That might be a little far fetched, but why ias the construction just begun in the middle of be semester? It is like one of those term papers issignea at tne beginning ot the semester, but is lot worked on until the night before. Appalachian State contracted someone to vork on the roofs in June. The earliest the conractor could have started work was in July. The ontractor gave eight different schedules to the iniversity to when they would start. They could lot figure out a time to do it, and ASU was at the nercy of the contractor. The summertime seemed to have been the inly solution, right? Well yes, but there are still tudents in the halls with summer school, camps ind other conferences. ASU knew that anytime vould cause students discomfort, but it had to be lone sometime. V\fell, the only schedule that seemed to work vas the middle of the Fall semester. The work is ilmost complete on Winkler, and the construction ias only lasted about two weeks. Is that a small price to pay for a new roof vhich will protect students from the rain and the now? Yes, but why don't we go to the workers' tomes and take a hammer and beat on their bed rame to wake them up in the morning? That vould feel good. This problem and the other construction probems like the connecting road beside the steam ilant being totally cut off for eight weeks are be;inning to seem absurd.

The game beginning with the national anthem, serving pop-corn and hot dogs, what could be more "Ameri­ can" them a father-son afternoon at Yankee Stadium? How do sports function in society? In this day and age of communication, one must also ask, how does sports media function in society? Sports media and political propaganda have a tendency to equate "good American football, baseball, etc..." to "the good American war." To dislike sports is considered unAmerican, so what happens when the two are re­ lated as equal? A few examples of political propaganda in refer­ ence to the one-sided slaughter in the Gulf War are as follows. A U.S. general explained the war's out- come in the Washington Post, March 2, 1991, "You had a high school team playing in the Super Bowl against the New York Giants and they got their — whipped." On Jan. 17,1991, an officer observed on NBC: "Our team has carried out its game plan beau­ tifully." A few days later, a pilot inter­ viewed on CBS said, "We ran our first play; it worked great. We scored a touchdown." Sports media also seem to pro­ mote nationalism and separatism. They have a tendency to demonize politically opposing teams. When the U.S. Olympic hockey team defeated a secondstring Soviet team at Lake Placcid, New York, on Dec. 9,1983 (our most immediate enemy at the height of the cold war), an NBC Nightline announcer stated, "The Americans withstood an all-out Soviet assault." When the Soviet Union defeated the USA in basket­ ball in the 1988 summer Olympics, NBC announcers described the sporting event as, "...the Soviet on- slaught...never let up their attack...a relendess jug­ gernaut." A Washington Post sportswriter (Dave Kin­ dred, Jan. 31, 1983) suggested that the Redskin of­ fensive line be sent to President Reagan because, they were "...of such size, strength, and irresistibility that they could carry the MX missiles around the desert," and, "run the you-know-who's out of Afghanistan." American society has an overwhelming ten­ dency to equate sports and war. The Olympics could function to pro­ mote international good­ will and the appreciation of athletic ability in nations throughout the world. The problem does not he in sports, but in the atti­ tude tacked onto sporting events. Healthy competi­ tion and good sportsmanship are not the same as war. We need to acknowledge war as a destructive force and stop candy-coating it throughout aspects of our daily lives. It is detrimental for us to allow our children to hear sports and war constantly re­ ferred to as equivalent. "(Sports media) have a tendency to demonize politically opposing teams." Don't believe everything that you read Sam Streed Columnist Upon reading the Appalachian editorial page, some readers, I've unfortunately discovered, have dismissed the Opinion section, and indeed the en­ tire paper as being uninformed and radical in its concentration on local issues and its deviant stances concerning issues of both local and national impor­ tance. While this sentiment is explainable and even somewhat justifiable, those who are quick to point out the "shortcomings" of local independent media organizations fail to recognize the profound impor­ tance of such agencies, specifically to the college stu­ dent. As the NBC, ABC, CNN, TBS and Microsoft cor­ porations proceed to consolidate the media networks into a uniformly opinionated monster, the only reli­ able sources of alternative, if indeed deviant, opin­ ion, are the independent news agencies like the Ap­ palachian. If it were not for such media organiza­ tions, the masses would merely have exposure to the opinions of those few news networks that have the capitol to corner the media market. The interconnectedness of small media stations and pa­ pers to parent corporations goes vasdy unnoticed. A study on bias in the media dictates that as indepen­ dent media organizations are purchased and become affiliates of the major news conglomerates, the opin­ ions of the corporation gradually, and by no accident, are adopted by the once independent affiliate. Repeated studies in communications show that the financially powerful have nearly exclusive access to the media networks. However, the opinions of these high tiers of American society neither repre­ sent the entire spectrum of opinion nor that of the masses. The powerless left wing, therefore remains virtually without representation. This phenomenon serves to strengthen the position of the ultra-conser­ vative businessman for lack of alternative stances for the masses to be exposed to. We live in a mass me­ dia oligarchy. Mass media organizations deny the common reader the ability to compare different stances, spe­ cifically in editorials. Our opinion section's focus on local issues is not widespread naivete of national and international issues, but rather a void-filling institu­ tion designed to enlighten the reader's awareness of what is happening directly surrounding them. Inde­ pendent commentary on local issues and major po­ litico-economic issues of national importance alike present a viewpoints that would otherwise go unno­ ticed: those of the college student and of the minor­ ity. College students exist as a unique demographic political unit. Their economic status and their edu­ cation level combine to create a body that will soon become the decision-makers of the country The col­ lege student of today will inherit the country, and presumably the conservatism, from the baby boomers. Hearing the opinions, whether mainstream or radical, of fellow college students is essential to developing the college students' identities as fellow members of the future of America. Our generation is not the equivalent to the baby boom generation, nor should be our standards and ideals. Without papers like the Appalachian, we students would be blindly following the ideology of all the Ted Turners of the world. There is no doubting the enormous affect the media has on our generation.

Ben Keisler ASU Box 14286 Wal-Mart gives it back To the Editor: This letter is in regards to the column writ­ ten by Emily Miller about Wal-Mart. In it, Ms. Miller asks whose community does Wal-Mart serve? Not ours, she claims. After reading this article, though, it seems to me that Ms. Miller didn't do very much research regarding the matter. Until recently, when I went back to school, I worked for Wal-Mart for nearly 4 years, the last year in management. While I may not agree with some of Wal-Mart's policies, I defi­ nitely do not agree that Wal-Mart does n6f sclK#* its communities. Ms. Miller says that Wal-Mart will put the small proprietors out of business when it comes to town. Granted, I won't deny that that does happen in some small towns, but I've found from experience that the majority of the time, this is not the case. From talking to customers my­ self, I have found that most of them will con­ tinue to go to the small stores out of customer loyalty. They go to Wal-Mart for the items can't get elsewhere. Ms. Miller fails to mention, however, the money that Wal-Mart does put back into the community. A small business employs maybe 6 to 8 people, 10 as a high estimate. Again, from experience, I know that, depending on the size of the store, Wal-Mart employs between 100 to 200 people. That's 10 to 20 times more jobs than any small business could ever put into a own. .. p ii^. Probably most importantly, See Letters p?.~„ t> m �The Page 6 Traffic results in dead squirrels Letters Justin Bell Columnist If a man with a gun walks up to you while you are in your car, and uses the gun to get your money, it is considered stealing. If a man walks up to your car, with a gun, and takes your money be­ cause he doesn't like your driving, it would also be stealing. Unless he is a cop. Elaboration: A man is driving down the road when a fast car runs him off the road. If the man tries to stay on the road, he will be forced off the road by a band of the fast cars. After pulling over, a person with a gun, a stick, and some pepper spray walks over and demands money. I forget, what did pirates do? We live in a democracy. I am told. Supposed to be something about freedom and voting on things, I believe. So, on a road, the speed limit is the speed you are not supposed to go over. I think. But whenever I am driving, an overwhelming majority of people are going faster than the "speed limit." The majority are going faster than the speed limit. Back to that democracy thing. If the majority of people are unhappy with the speed limit, why doesn't it get changed? It seems to me if the majority of people are going over the speed limit, whoever made the speed limit is a minor­ ity, thus a very sneaky dictator. So I plead to the common man, let us gather some turtles, get some pan­ cake mix, and head to the White House to raise a little hell. Our society has a lot of traffic. Why is everyone out there so pissed off when they are in their cars? When I drive up to Boone from Burlington, truckdrivers, grand­ mothers and children cut me off at high speed and flip me the bird. Our country has many different races, religions, and people in it, and all of them drive like terrorist Sa­ tan worshippers hell-bent on getting somewhere, anywhere, and very quickly. It seems to me most of us don't really have anywhere that important to go. Most of the people who are driving like there's a prize stoplights. Pavement as far as the eye can see. Everything is made of brick or cement, and every­ thing has a sign on it. Someone out there has the job of storing the world's dirt, and it is my theory that they use Boone's road system for the bulk of the goods. Hence, I can't drive across town without stopping twice to wash the car Sometime, when you are at the intersection of Hwy. 321 and Hwy. 105, at Wendy's, or waiting for that godforsaken stoplight, do me a favor. Look around at the scenery, and then look at the people in their cars. Most of them look quite unhappy and some of them appear to be in a coma. So what it comes down to is a bunch of people breathing in "When I drive up to Boone from Burlington, truckdrivers, grandmothers and children cut me off at high speed and flip me the bird." at the end are actually going home to watch television and heat up something in the microwave. Ev­ eryone is in a hurry and I can't fig­ ure out why. People are more con­ cerned with watches and schedules than each other. I hope somebody out there is still living life instead of flying through it swearing at people who are only going 10 miles above the speed limit instead of 20. Calm down. Enjoy life. Things aren't naturally hectic, we just make them that way. Most roads are exceptionally ugly, but nobody seems to notice. They are too busy cutting off people in wheelchairs and running over children in order to get to Back Yard Burger a few seconds faster. Roads have no shade and no trees for the most part. Litter and cigarette butts line the road. There is constant stopping and starting at signs and exhaust fumes, who are all con­ vinced that wherever they are go­ ing is better than wherever the guy next to them is going. This occurs in scenery that could depress Satan himself, who personally oversees the majority of Boone's road con­ struction. The least we can do for each other as we try to avoid getting hit by high speed AppalCarts is to be a little considerate of each other. Sadly, we have developed a society where driving and/or traf­ fic are unavoidable. If only we had had the foresight to create a society where sex and water parks were unavoidable, I think we would all be a lot better off. I worry that our society is not about people; that it has become misdirected. People breathe air and the cars poison it. But we love our cars. Every year you are see Traffic page 7 Appa|achi aill6f t o t h e L d i t o r - c o n t i n u 62 doesn't take into account the mil­ lions of dollars each year that Wal-Mart gives to charity- namely the Children's Miracle Network. I have seen firsthand the good that this money does. I was on a fund-raising committee at one of the stores I worked at in the Little Rock, AR. area. The committee was invited to the Arkansas Children's Hospital to see where the money we raised went. While there, I met a great number of chil­ dren with life-threatening illnesses. Most of these children's fami­ lies would not have been able to pay for treatment of these illnesses had it not been for the Children's Miracle Network and the money it receives from Wal-Mart. This letter is not meant to change Ms. Miller's mind about Wal-Mart. She is entided to her own opinion. I'm only asking that in the future she think about what she is writing and do some re­ search before bashing a company. Hate Wal-Mart for other reasons, but not because she thinks they don't help a community. As far as the little blue bags "dotting the country-side," well, that's because of certain members of the public. They're the ones who litter the sides of the road. Maybe she should do a column about that. Nate Corbitt ASU Box 9906 Blow it out your...

Our home crowds are quiet as a mouse during the entire game except for a couple of cheers after scores. This is something that needs to change. For those loyal fans who made the trek to Clemson, I commend you. That was the loudest bunch of ASU fans that I have heard since I have been here, even at our home games two years ago during the 11-0 season. Friends of mine who were cheer­ ing for Clemson and sitting com­ pletely on the other side of Death Valley were shocked and amazed at how much noise we made- noise that was easily heard over the tens of thousands of Tiger fans (Divi­ sion 1-A fans who are used to some yelling). However, the next two games at home, it was so quiet that if Yosef sneezed, it would call at­ tention to Kidd Brewer Stadium. Come on App fans, if you could have seen the reaction of our play­ ers on the field in Death Valley to a small section of gold and black yelling ourselves to a headache in the midst of a sea of orange, it would give you something to cheer about. Those guys were pumped and played some of the best ball I have seen all year. The crowd does make a difference! Start yelling, for crying out loud!

(3) Vf >V Vc Ratings Guide I III Robert Davis Save Ferris and Dance Hall Crashers have a lot in com­ mon. Both are female-fronted pop-ska bands which have re­ mained relatively unknown, de­ spite a very radio-friendly sound (although Save Ferris has not been around quite as long as Dance Hall Crashers). Both re­ cently released excellent albums that belong in everyone's CD player, "It Means Everything" and "Honey I'm Homely,"respectively. Each band will also gar­ ner inevitable and inaccurate comparisons to No Doubt. There are similarities between the sound of the three, but for the most part these commonalities are superficial. Anyone who calls either of these bands No Doubt knock-offs is completely clueless. Dance Hall Crashers was founded as a side project of former Operation Ivey members Tim Armstrong and Matt Free­ man (who are both now in Ran­ cid) in 1989. Numerous changes eventually resulted in the current lineup of Elyse Rogers and Karina Denike on vocals, Jason Hammon on guitar, Mikey Weiss on bass and Gavin Hammon on drums. Dance Hall Crashers are the exception to the rule, a ska band with no regular horn section. Borrowed brass members of Hepcat make guest appearances on about a third of the songs, but even on these songs the horns are almost superfluous. The band's last album of original material, "Lockjaw," fea­ tured no brass at all and suffered for it. On their album before that, "1989-1992" (re-released as The Old Record earlier this year), the horns played too much of a role. With this album, they come closer to the ideal ratio for their style. By far, the focal point of the band are the incredible vo­ cals. Denike and Rogers combine to create some of the best harmo­ nies you will hear this year. Whether playing off of each other or singing together, they're the highlight of a great album. While the h0r Ferris play a more feah the vocals are still a * of the album.

To which we need to listen and re­ spond: For example, we seem to crave carbohy­ drates when we need comfort. Judith Wurtman, Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, explains it like this: After you consume carbohydrates, your pancreas produces insulin, which initiates a series of chemi­ cal reactions that makes the brain produce serotonin, a substance that makes us feel "calmer and better able to cope." So, when you reach for a chocolate candy bar, you may be trying to lessen the effects of stress or depression. According to Dr. Wurtman, an apple would not be a good substitute as fructose, the sugar present in fruits, doesn't stimulate insulin production as ef­ ficiently as sugary or starchy foods do. Another mood-food connec­ tion has been suggested by Susie Greene, a counselor at the ASU Counseling Center. She points out that when we are in sad or de­ pressed moods we tend to eat foods that are soft, like tomato soup, oatmeal, or apple sauce, while more angry moods lead us to eat crunchier foods, things that make noise, like popcorn or pea­ nuts. As you can see, using food to help cope with moods is not necessarily unhealthy. It does not mean that one has an eating dis­ order. An eating disorder, like an­ orexia, bulimia, or compulsive overeating, involves the feeling of being out of control in regard to food or eating. In the case of an eating disorder, thoughts of food, planning meals, and avoiding food, overwhelms the individual and takes up a massive amount of their personal time. Thinking about food, eat­ ing food, and/or ignoring food takes energy and provides a focus that allows the person to uncon­ sciously distract from other more negative or distressing feelings or experiences. For example, an indi­ vidual may feel depressed. Rather than attend to this depression by seeking support from friends, fam­ ily, or other resources, this person "stuffs" his or her emotions with large quantities of ice cream or other foodstuffs. This person then feels depressed because she or he has eaten such a great deal. But, again, rather than acknowledge and honor these feelings, this per­ son continues to "stuff" or shut out his or her emotional self, eating more or maybe forcing herself or himself to throw up, leading to more sadness, guilt, shame, etc. The point is, these feelings, this very significant part of oneself, is ignored and not attended to in a manner that would allow them to communicate needs and nurture their feelings. When you feel like munching, it is helpful to think of this type of "hunger" as an emo­ tional hunger rather than merely a physical one. Are you stressed? Do you need nurturing? Are you lonely? Are you bored? Did you get a bad grade or are you upset about a re­ lationship? Identify the emotion and try to do something to deal with it directly. One can continue to turn to food, but the "hunger" is never really satisfied. The hunger can be a hunger for friendship, affec­ tion, attention, nurturance, inti- CLASSIFIEDS Students!

Jenkins said that the way he meets most of the people he dates are through friends and work and wants to continue that prac­ tice when he graduates. He prefers to date people who are open about their sexual­ ity and feels that only comes with maturity. Jenkins is currently not dating anyone and is content with that. "I just choose to be single and wait to be in an environment where there is more to offer." Jenkins said that he doesn't think there will ever be a time when he would want to be with a woman over a man. "In life, you know what you want. If you've tried in the past to change, and it has not worked, and it's not normal to you, then it's not going to be any dif­ ferent in the future," Jenkins said. Jenkins does want to get married some day but wonders if it will be legal when that time comes. He does not want any chil­ dren. He said that he would not want to put children in an envi­ ronment where they would be dis­ criminated against because they have homosexual parents. Jenkins also said that he is very greedy and independent and wouldn't want to take care of children. Despite what society says and his own feelings, Jenkins feels that homosexual parents are just as capable of raising children as heterosexual parents are. "As long as there's love in the relationship, there's love in the support. I don't think it matters if it's two men, two women, one man, or one woman. As long as there's love in the family and there's that sort of support and security given to the child to let them know the parents are here s' * for them no matter what," Jenkins said. He said he thinks that ho­ mosexuality will be more accepted as time goes on, but never as fully accepted and tolerated as heterosexuality because it is not in the "norm." "I think as more genera­ tions come, there's going to be dif­ ferent thinking, different laws, dif­ ferent societal influences, and en­ vironmental influences,' Jenkins said. Homosexuality has be­ come a reality in today's society. It has become a reality on our cam­ pus. To accept it or not—that is your choice. But Jenkins doesn't feel that he has a choice in accepting it any longer.

The Mountaineers (4-5-2) (etted four goals in the first half, png the school record for goals icored in a single period, as they jowned the Buccaneers, 4-0, in iquthern Conference action. "We went out and played lir style and the girls looked for aeir point of attack," Appalachian lead Coach Ben Popoola said. Sophomore forward ishton Robinson had little iroblem finding her point of ttack. The Huntersville, N.C., bgive netted two goals for the (cuntaineers, while firing seven iipts on goal during the contest. Robinson's first score one just over nine minutes into ie contest, as she lifted a shot, just faring the hands of ETSU goalie :slie Maczka, giving Appalachian le early 1-0 lead. Twelve minutes later, abinson struck again, this time inding a pass from freshman inda Nilsson, and routing it past n out stretched Maczka at the nn.tr> • 23:18 mark. The two goal evening for Robinson marked her second two-goal game of the season, and the fourth multi-goal game of her career. Nilsson extended the Mountaineer lead to 3-0 as she netted her second goal of the season, finding a pass from Appalachian defender Katie Hand at the 25:56 mark. The assist marked the first point of the season for Hand, who extended her school record for career assists to seven. Freshman midfielder Shelley Brooks all but sealed the victory for the Mountaineers at the 34:59 mark. The High Point, N.C., native netted her second goal in as many games as she chipped a shot that drifted over the head of Maczka, and found the far left corner of the net. The 4-0 win marked the second largest margin of victory for Appalachian at Kidd Brewer Stadium since their inception in 1994. The largest margin occurred in their inaugural season, as the Mountaineers blanked Greensboro College 5-0. The Appalachian defense continued to prove tough on their opponents. The Mountaineer backfield yielded only two shots on goal against the Bucs, both of which came in the second half. Junior Allison Wahl and freshman Lauren Hutchinson «- combined in goal on the shutout, the fourth of the season for the Mountaineers. On the year, Appalachian's backfield has allowed 16 goals which stands as the third lowest goals allowed total in the league. "Overall, I thought we played real well," Popoola said. "I thought we still had problems finishing some shots, but overall I was pleased with our performance." Appalachian begins to wind down the 1997 regular season as they begin positioning themselves for the Southern Conference Tournament. The Mountaineers battled Wofford last night, and take on league rivals Furman and Chattanooga before completing the season against a pair of non-conference foes. Unlike years past, the Southern Conference has adopted a conference tournament format similar to women's basketball. The top four finishers in the league at the end of the season will host the lower four finishers in first round games on campus sites. The semifinalists then travel to Davidson to compete foi the title. Currently Appalachian stands in third place in the league, and would host Furman in a first round match-up if play ended today. . .. Linda Nillson runs down an errant pass.

Thomas delivered a speech desig­ nated as the Joan Askew Vhil Memorial Lecture last Thursday night in Farthing Auditorium, addressing a crowd eager to learn the dirt on past and present lords of the White House. Thomas discussed her experiences as a White House reporter, including her current position as White House Bureau Chief for United Press International (UPI). She also spoke of the futures of journal­ ism and the American political system. A graduate of Michigan's Wayne State Uni­ versity, Thomas in 1943 joined UPI and the Washing­ ton Press Corps. She wrote radio news for 12 years for UPI and eventually cov­ ered news on the government, FBI and Capitol Hill. During her first White House assignment in 1960, covering president-elect John F. Kennedy, Thomas started a considerate tradi­ tion of closing presidential press conferences with the now-famous comment, "Thank you, Mr. Presi­ dent." This has en­ dured to this day in conferences with President Bill Clinton. Thomas is a seasoned veteran of journalism but has maintained the drive for truth and excellence that began when she saw her first byline in her high school newspaper. "I saw my byline in the high school paper when I was a sopho­ more, and my ego swelled," she said. "I said, This is great.'" Over the years, Thomas said she has never lost interest in her profession.

"I think that there is something so rewarding about our profession, that so much rides on (journalists)," she said. A shift into the technological era has led many to believe that newspa­ pers will be obsolete and that has wor­ ried Thomas.

"Radio has come really into its own again and it has kind of done the full circle. I think that we all should be tuned in, car radio or whatever, to know when there is a disaster or castastrophe," she said. An advocate of accountability, Thomas has seen journalists take a beating in light of the controversy sur­ rounding the recent death of Princess Diana. Thomas described the media as a "neccessary evil," claiming it has been a major influence on the nation, and poli­ tics, from Watergate to Whitewater. By covering the Watergate scandal and revealing the story to the world, the media in essence "saved the country," in the words of an unidentified man who spoke with Thomas during a presidential conference of former President Gerald Ford. "I think that people do not really un­ derstand what the role of the press is," Thomas said. "There would be no democracy without the media or an informed soci­ ety. We have to be fair. We have to be ac­ curate. We have to be accountable. We have to be all those things." She added, "We would be ignorant without them." see Thomas on page 2 Grad student, alumnus campaign for Town Council spots Editor's note: The Appalachian is not affiliated with the political views of either candidate; rather, their cam­ paigns are featured in this issue due to proximity to the student body. Pamela Formyduval Staff Writer Leslie Hitchcock Staff Writer Students at Appalachian State Uni­ versity have the opportunity to elect one of their own in today's Boone Town Council election. Running under the campaign "You're invited to vote on Oct. 7," gradu­ ate student Stephen Gore anticipates serving Boone as a fair and consistent voice for students. "It is important for students to have a voice in town matters," said Gore. "Everything that happens in this town revolves around students." Gore's goals, if elected to the coun­ cil, include a synchronization of Boone stoplights; the creation of a student resi­ dential zone; a decrease in commercial rates for water and sewage; an expan­ sion of the university's Alternative Trans­ portation Plan; and the creation of more student jobs. Gore made several comments about his platform goals. A synchronized stoplight pattern could alleviate most Boone traffic prob- Stephen Gore lems, he said. Gore said traffic is the first problem he will look at if elected, de­ scribing the problem as one that can be fixed by the town council. In addition, Gore said commercial rates are the reason students pay high rents off-campus. "[City] rates are $20 to $25 while commercial rates are $40 to $60," said Gore. In an attempt to keep students out of residential neighborhoods, Gore pro­ poses a student residential zone approxi- see Gore on page 2 modes of transportation. He chose that area to enhance his own personal interests rather than to fit a particular career. Norris is presently working at Doe Ridge Pottery, located on King Street, where he has worked since 1991. He also teaches a class there. Something that correlates more with his degree is an internship he is do­ ing for the Sierra Club that is targeted at working on air pollution.

Norris, a 1996 Appalachian State University graduate, is not your typical politician. Norris, along with four other can­ didates, seeks your vote today to fill three seats on the Boone Town Council. Originally from Alabama, Norris came to Appalachian in 1991 and now see Norris on page 6 calls Boone his home. A strong advocate for the environment, Norris received a Bachelor of Science degree in industrial technology, concen­ trating in alternative energy with a minor in sustainable de­ velopment. In other words, he stud­ ied alternatives to modern so­ ciety. He studied ways to get away from traditional forms of energy—oil and coal—and looked at solar energy and windmill power instead.

While he has actively cam­ paigned for the Town Council po­ sition, Gore said he has no inten­ tion of remaining in politics after serving on the council, if elected. Disagreeing with the ideals of politicians, Gore said he will not use the council as a stepping stone into further politics. "I think that anyone who uses people for [their] personal advantage is wrong," he said. Currently, Gore pursues a master's degree from the Depart­ ment of Health, Leisure and Exer­ cise Science and studies sports management. Last year, he re­ ceived an undergraduate degree from Appalachian in commercial recreation management. As for the Boone Town Coun­ cil itself, it is the governing body of Boone, said Town of Boone clerk Frita Vanallen. Council members make decisions for the town con­ cerning tax money and different town ordinances. The town council elections are non-partisan, so prospective council members run for office unaffiliated with a certain politi­ cal party, said Vanallen. There are three seats open on the five-person council, Vanallen said. The top two candidates will serve for four years, while the third highest person will serve a twoyear term.

Scholarship opportunities easily found through free on-line servjC( Bryan Scott Staff Writer In past years, private compa­ nies have charged students like those attending Appalachian State University hundreds of dollars to perform scholarship searches. Now, the growing popularity of the Internet has given rise to companies who perform this ser­ vice on-line at no cost to students. The largest of these free Internet search ser­ vices is FastWEB. Ac­ cording to FastWEB President Bob Michelson, 25,000 students visit their site every day. Every year, one million new visitors request up­ dates from this corporate-sponsored search service. "Our goal is to put a student in a po­ sition to get a scholarship. If it's out there, no matter how unique, we want to find it," said Michelson. Students who visit the web site are asked to fill out a question­ naire that asks about the student's major, college or university choice, hobbies, area of study, and grade point average. In addition to these questions, information concerning parent affiliations and income are also requested. After completing the profile, student information is compared with the company database to find scholarships available. FastWEB's company data- WE LL GIVE YOU 10 WEEKS.

Heather Mai* �rhe Appalachian 7 October 1997 Page 3 Opinion rhe Appalachian Fairness, Accuracy and Public Service since 1934 You can't write about Ms. Clinton How would you like to be told that you could not write your opinion because it was not news­ worthy? What if there was a rule put down spe­ cifically not to write on a subject? Would that be censorship? Why don't you ask the First Freshman, Ms. Chelsea Clinton. Stanford University recently had a prize stu­ dent enter their campus. This fall, the daughter of the most powerful man in the world entered college for her freshman year Of course, she is just like every other student. Whatever The reason for this is that The Stanford Daily's editor-in-chief did not think Chelsea was like ev­ ery other student. The editor enforced a new rule exclusively for the First Daughter, a rule intended to give Clinton some of the privacy she deserves. The new rule stated that no one was to run any article on Chelsea that was not "newswor­ thy." This rule was made up just for her. She is probably the only student to ever have a rule spe­ cifically made for her The problem is, a columnist for The Stanford Daily wrote an "unnewsworthy" story about Chelsea Clinton. The article did not run, but he was fired. The reason for the firing was the col­ umnist did not do a revision of the article, which the editor claimed was the newspaper's policy. How can that be justified? How can a ruling come down to protect one individual? Granted, the role of the editor-in-chief is to be responsible for all content and to judge the newsworthiness of each article. But in this case, it was an opinion piece concerning a relevant Stanford University topic. And ironically, the article was on the media coverage of Chelsea. Censorship has always been a controversial issue in the United States, and this is clearly a case of censorship. Everyone has an opinion about something, and this is The Appalachian's opinion: How can a ruling be brought down because of someone's reputation? Say our chancellor did something insignifi­ cant. Someone did not agree with it and wrote about it. Why should that be published? Why shouldn't it be published? Is he "important" enough to warrant a ruling? Is he more important than a special daughter—or is he in the same league as Clinton? The story was not a "news" story. It was an opinion piece, an article designed to give an origi­ nal side of an issue, event or idea. There are other students on the Stanford cam­ pus that are not as well-known as Chelsea Clinton. Okay, maybe none are as well-known as Chelsea, but they are not protected from scrutiny. Those students can be written about if they simply walk down the street. People may not agree with all opinions, but all opinions should be heard. Hav­ ing a rule or policy that states it is forbidden to voice a relevant opinion simply stops that voice from being heard. Granted, there are opinions considered radi­ cal and offensive—but they still need to be heard, rhe more options, opinions and information known, the better we can form personal opinions. In the case of The Stanford Daily, protecting one individual over all others is preferential treat­ ment at an institution that should promote indi­ viduality. Should not all students then be pro­ tected from others' opinions? This goes for you too, Mr. President.

Whether it's Palestinians vs. Israelis, Mac vs. PC, or Batman vs. the Joker, one group or person always has their panties in a bunch over something. With the recent court cases involv­ ing the tobacco industry and their admission that smoking actually is bad for your health, this issue has come to the forefront of society. Eventually, it trickled down to Appalachian State University, most notably with Sam Streed's column advocating not only a smoking section in Tradewinds, but a manda­ tory smoking rule just for entry. Sorry Sam, but your reasoning has gone up in smoke. Mr. Streed says that, "the exquisite fusion of the gentle aroma and flavor of coffee with the smooth, relaxing draw of a cigarette" is "one of the most holy and perfect combinations." However, the exquisite fusion of cigarette smoke and a nonsmoker's lungs is not "holy and perfect." How many times have you been seated next to the smoking/non-smoking line and had the wind from a nearby window blow grey clouds of cancer into your mouth? Kind of makes that steak mignon hard to enjoy, doesn't it? Apparently, by not allowing smok­ ing, Tradewinds is, "robbing the cof­ fee connoisseur of this simple yet important privilege." Since when do I have to smoke to enjoy coffee? You don't see Juan Valdez and his donkey with a cigarette in their mouths, now do you? Personally, I can enjoy coffee without pausing ev­ ery five seconds to cough up a piece of my lung. The way I see it, if a coffee con­ noisseur wants to "enjoy" a cigarette, he/she/it can take themselves outside the student union and puff away. Nowhere in the student union is smoking allowed. Should we change this rule exclusively for Tradewinds because it takes away from the coffeehouse experi­ ence? I don't think so. At the heart of the column, Mr. Streed advocates not just a smok­ ing section of Tradewinds, but that customers should be required to smoke or be charged extra. To again quote my favorite good 'ol boy, Hank Hill, "What in the hell?" Smokers have the option to go outside to smoke if they need a cigarette that bad. By requiring smoking or facing an extra fee, non-smokers have no option. They must either light up or cough up (literally) the cash. I don't know about you, but I'm the average, ain't-got-cash-to spare college student. If smokers want to smoke so bad, let them pay a charge. After all, they're already shelling out hard-earned cash for a quicker death. They should have to pay to impose on the rest of us. And now I quote from a study on smoking: "60 percent of Americans favor a complete ban on smoking in all public places. Non-smokers who live with smokers, or are exposed to a smoking environment, have a 10 percent to 30 percent chance of developing lung cancer or heart disease. Lung cancer from secondhand smoke results in about 3,800 deaths per year. Two thousand five hundred of the deaths were from people who have never smoked in their life, and the others were former smok­ ers." Enough said. As for implementing the smoking change, Mr. Streed admits that, "over­ coming the obstacles of health restrictions and uptight administrators would prove to be a feat much to great for any lone vigilante." Don't you just hate those pesky health restrictions? Geez, if it weren't for health restrictions, people would still be eating mad cow disease-infected meat and getting can­ cer from working around asbestos. I don't know about you folks, but I kinda When I decided to run Sam Streed's story on smoking in Tradewinds, I had no idea the kind of response that we'd get at the paper. I certainly didn't antici­ pate the response on campus in general. I thought people would see the article for what it was: a tongue-in-cheek look at the way smokers are treated, with a satirical twist aimed at non-smokers. Apparently, I was wrong. I can imagine that some of you didn't understand Sam's story. Smoking and the concern over second-hand smoke is a big issue in America right now and for a lot of people, including some smokers, it's no laughing matter. Cancer is a serious problem. Sorry, but so tire personal freedoms and the infringement on them. It doesn't require a degree in rocket science to know that there are two sides to this issue and that both have not been repre­ sented equally. Smokers have been horribly ne­ glected in this argument. Simply put, I saw Sam's story as an opportunity for a smoker to have his say. But, darn, I forgot that if you don't go with the majority's opinion, you tend to get labeled an idiot. You get hate mail. You get everyone in a tizzy. I too am a smoker and have had to deal with people looking at me funny. I've had little kids come up to me say­ ing that smoking is bad for me. I've been asked, while sitting in the smoking section of a restaurant, to put out my cigarette because it "bothers someone." I'm sick of being treated this way, as I can imagine many smokers are. I have rights too. We've been so preoccupied with other people's rights that smokers haven't had their own jus­ tice. I can understand that some people don't like smoke, or are allergic to it, and do not like being in a smoking environment. Well, sorry. I want to have the same opportu­ nities as non-smokers, to sit indoors and enjoy a cigarette over coffee and conversation just like nonsmokers do. I don't like to go outside everytime I want a cigarette. There are places that could be designated smoking areas and Tradewinds should be one of them. It's my understanding that when Tradewinds was the Pub there were venti­ lation systems put in it to accommodate smokers during concerts and other events without depriving non-smokers of their space and air. 1 doubt that such intricate systems would have been removed just for the coffee shop. I am also aware of the split in the Food Court. Smoking sections are avail­ able under similar ventilation systems and non-smoking sections are available less than 15 feet away. This set-up seems to work pretty well. Why wouldn't it work in Tradewinds' I can also anticipate the counter-arguments that some of you might offer. "Quit smoking" or "Deal with it." Smoking is an addiction, a very difficult one to quit. In addition, most smokers don't want to quit at this point in their lives. Some of us enjoy it. Why should we have to sacrifice one of the few pleasures we can legally enjoy for the sake of someone else? We don't have to deal with it. We have just as much right to demand space for smoking as a non-smoker does for their space. One of the most ridiculous things I've heard about the response to Sam's story is that there's apparently some sort of lookout warning on him when he goes jnto Tradewinds. Whether or not this is true, it's totally laughable. Are they scared that he's gonna spark one in there or is this some mad rumor started to keep him out? I'm not trying to make it safe for Sam to go back into Tradewinds or any­ thing. I'm certainly not making excuses for him. I'm just showing some of that see Butts page 4 see Smoking page 4 r-t Letters to the Editor Streed goes up in smoke To the Editor: I have to say that Sam Streed's article on smoking in Tradewinds Coffee House is the most idiotic article I have ever read, and it seriously undermines his credibility in my mind. If some­ one wants to smoke that is their business, and if they don't want to patron a business that doesn't allow smoking, then that is their choice. How­ ever, saying that smoking should be required by the coffee house is like saying marijuana should be required at a Widespread Panic show. I enjoy the smoke-free atmosphere, and I know a lot of other people do also. I also don't want to see the student union that we are pay­ ing for be ruined by a stench from the coffee shop. If you have to have tobacco to enjoy cof­ fee then you can go to BeansTalk or Espresso News. Something else you might want to know, when the student union was looking for possible renters, they asked if the no smoking policy would be a problem. All of them said that they preferred it to be non-smoking, because the smoke ruined the flavor of the beans. So, your smoking habit would actually lessen your coffee house experience. Finally, 1 have to comment on the part of the article that you say, "The risk of lung cancer is comparably small to the gratification of a pleas­ ant cup of coffee and a cigarette." That is like saying that the risk of AIDS is worth the feeling of unprotected sex. Also, I don't see how any­ one can enjoy anything when you are hacking up a lung. If Mr. Streed's addiction to tobacco is so strong that he can't drink coffee without a cigarette, then I suggest that he take it outside. Chris Dinwiddie CD16519 To the Editor: Ever since I read the first issue of The Appala­ chian this year, I have been disappointed with ASLFs so-called 'newspaper.' The poor editing, irrelevant articles and poor writing have led me to dismiss it as a legitimate work of serious journalism. Yet for some reason, a sense of morbid curiosity perhaps, I found myself picking up the latest issue, and therein I read an article entitled 'Tradewinds: Up in Smoke." Never in my life have I encountered such a shoddily argued point of view. It is clear that the article lacks any semblance of validity or coherence. The main point of the article, that the long term risk of cancer is jus­ tified by immediate satisfaction is, for lack of a bet­ ter word, ludicrous. Granted, there is an element of tongue-in-cheek to the article, but that does not ex­ cuse the writer from having to account for the mes­ sage that he is sending to the more receptive of The Appalachian's readers. Smoking cigarettes causes 'cancer1. This is a fact, and to disagree is to ignore the warnings of count­ less physicians around the world. It seems disrespect­ ful for the writer to sling around the word 'cancer1 as if it were nothing more than an item of clothing that one could remove at will or a common cold that blows over in a few days. Cancer is a painful, debili­ tating condition that robs years from the lives of many patients. To imply that the risk of can­ cer is justified by mere "gratification" is insensi­ tive, insulting and immoral. Any risk is simply too much and the fact that the writer would sub­ ject anyone to that chance—even himself—is equally revolting. Obviously, the grounds on which he bases his entire argument are shaky at best. Supplementary points made by the writer are equally insipid. He asserts that "smoking is a necessity," with his support lying in the asser­ tion that it is 'cool'. He coos about "exotic ciga­ rettes tenuously dangling" from mouths to show that Smoking is a desirable habit, when in fact it is not. Once again, the writer places two un­ equal values next to each other and tries to say that the ridiculous supersedes the reasonable. How can the value of 'coolness' possibly com­ pare in importance to a life without cancer? The • answer, simply, is that it cannot. So besides be ing almost laughable, this argument is a worth­ less defense of smoking. Of course, one could easily delve in to the world of the abstract and expose the writer's erroneous points concerning "perfection," smok­ ing imperatives in Tradewinds, Appalachian State University parents "getting their money's worth," the good of one versus the good of many, and smokers' rights, but what need is there to add insult to injury? Suffice to say that the writer see Letters page 4 �Page 4 The Appalachi^ 7 Smoking from page 3 solidarity that he spoke of in his article. I'm a smoker and, well, I smoke. I like it. But more and more, smokers are being singled out as the lepers of our time. We're being forced out of the city gates to wallow in our disease, or, more Letters to the Editor-continu, specifically, we're forced to brave whatever elements may be present outside in order to have a damn cigarette. What doesn't make any sense to me is that we know the same things about smoking's dangers as we did 20 years ago and only now have people decided that it "of­ fends" them. Everybody's suddenly a smoking-phobe. It's hip to shun smokers. As a result we're forced to segregate ourselves from nonsmokers. So what if some militant nonsmoker doesn't want me smoking next to them? I've been forced to separate myself from where I want to be for too long in order to smoke. And, remember, separate is not equal. Give us back our space. Even if it has to be right next to some nose-pinching, faux-coughing nonsmokers. Make them deal with it. Butts from page 3 like those health restrictions that allow me to breathe nonsmoky air whenever I so choose. This country was founded on the principles cf, "Life, lib­ erty, and the pursuit of happi­ ness." By being forced to inhale secondhand smoke, my right to the pursuit of happiness is com­ promised. It's your right to kill yourself, but it's not your right to kill the rest of us. unsatisfactorily backs up a nearly indefensible point—that smokers have the right to poison other people for their own trivial satis­ faction. Andrew G. Greenberg ASU Box 8558 I.G. is O.K. To the Editor: This letter is in reference to the Opinion article published Sept. 30, "I.G. Greer's super cin­ ema not so hot." I have worked at I.G. Greer for three years and have been on the APPS Films council for four Believe me, I know the I.G. Greer is not the most ideal place to show movies, but I don't think that your bashing was appropri­ ate. I am glad that you recog­ nized that APPS tries to bring movies to campus that would not be shown in Boone, but you also have to recognize that APPS has to work with what it has. APPS does bring you the best deal there is; $2 gets you into a movie, pop­ corn and a drink. Two dollars dosen't even buy you popcorn at The Appalachian theatre. First of all, the print of Chas­ ing Amy that was sent to us was "Hey.... You Woolly ought to be there!!" 20^ Annual Woolly Worm Festival a poor print, the sound and bad focus had nothing to do with the projector, the employees, or APPS. It was due to the fact that we got a bad print. Granted, the projec­ tor is not new, but it is not terrible. We also show movies on video with a video projector that we just got last year. So I am afraid that movies are not going to be mov­ ing from Greer any time soon. Second of all, I am sorry if you are sentimental towards The Flick, but face it, it's gone. I liked The Flick too, and was sad to see it go, but maybe the bagel place will be good. However, I have been at The Flick when movies have broken and were hard to hear. APPS does not make profits from movies. Any money that we make over our ex­ pected revenue (not what we ac­ tually spend), goes into getting better movies for the second se­ mester. Essentially, there are no profits to split. I don't think you should propose inane ideas before doing any research. Besides, I don't think bagels and movies quite go. I am sorry that you did not have a good experience at I.G. Greer. I hope you are willing to try it again. I am not saying that Greer is perfect, but as an APPS member and an employee of Greer, I can assure you, we do the best we can for you to have a good ex­ Allison Najman ASU Box 11056 Kudos to carnivores ® We would also lif°ur readers for thp?' mput to The AppallCo'. gretthatwecS5* To the Editor:' I would just like to commend the writer of "Meat-eaters should not be tenderized", the article in the Thursday (Oct. 2) edition of The Appalachian.

The changing of the leaves: why do they do that? Adrian Cho Staff Writer They're coming. You can already see hints of them around campus, a tinge of gold here, a of crimson there, a scattering of russet along thesidewalks. They bring tourists to town, money to local businesses and a quiet joy to all. The fall colors are descending upon Boone. But what makes the leaves change color in the first place? According to Gary L. Walker, asso­ ciate professor of Appalachian State University's Department of Biology and an expert in forest ecology, the answer to this question lies in the subtle biochemis­ try of photosynthesis, the process through which plants gather and store the energy of sunlight. But, before we try to understand why the leaves turn yellow, orange and red in the fall, we first need to know why they are green in the spring and the sum­ mer. Where the colors come from: Living leaves are green because they contain large amounts of chlorophyll, the essential ingredient in the recipe for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is a pigment that ab­ sorbs red and blue light, but reflects green light. Within a living leaf, chlorophyll soaks up energy in the form of sunlight and converts it into energy in the form of a chemical compound. This compound, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), then fuels the process in which water and carbon dioxide are combined to produce glucose. Chlorophyll thus enables the leaf to store energy from sunlight in a simple sugar. It is because chlorophyll reflects green light that living leaves appear green. When leaves die: Fall leaves are colored by different pigments. Some of these - the carotenoids and xanthophylls - have been present throughout the lives of the leaves. they are over­ whelmed by the green of the much more abundant chlorophyll. But once a leaf dies, the chloro­ phyll within it quickly breaks down, exposing the sturdiei caro­ tenoids and xan­ thophylls and turn­ ing the leaf yellow. Moreover, as the leaf is dying, it con­ (photo by Jeremy Ball) sumes the sugar it Others - the anthocyanins - are produced has stored in its tissue, thus producing only as the leaves die. anthocyanins and coloring the leaf orange Found in small amounts in leaves or red. throughout the year, the carotenoids and How bright will they get? xanthophylls are known as accessory pig­ Since anthocyanins give fall leaves ments because they assist chlorophyll in the liveliest colors, and since these pig­ extracting energy from sunlight. ments are made from sugar, it is the "The accessory pigments capture amount of sugar in the leaves that deter­ light energy at different wavelengths than mines how vibrant the fall foliage will be. chlorophyll," explained Walker. Walker said, 'The more sugars in "They then pass that energy along the leaves, the more reds and oranges and to chlorophyll, thus broadening the action purples you get." spectrum of a leafs ability to absorb light," Two factors determine how much he said. sugar there will be in the leaves.

If the Anthocyanins are produced when summer is dreary or too dry, the leaves dying leaves metabolize the sugars that will contain less sugar. they have manufactured. The second factor is how much "The anthocyanins are produced sugar gets trapped in the leaves when from a colorless precursor," said Walker. they begin to die. This depends entirely "Binding sugars onto this precursor turn on the weather during the first few weeks it red or purple," he said. of autumn.

The leaves of a tree die when a rubbery gasket of cells grows between the bases of their stems and the flesh of the tree. This gas­ ket, the abscission layer, blocks the flow of water and nutrients between the leaves and the tree. The growth of the abscission layer is triggered by a drop in temperature. If the temperature drops suddenly, the abscission layer forms quickly, trapping lots of sug­ ars in the leaves. If the temperature drops gradually, the abscission layer forms slowly, giving the leaves ample time to pass glucose into the tree where it will not be wasted. If the temperature lingers on the warm side, photosynthesis will continue in the leaves even after the abscission layer is formed, causing what sugar is trapped in the leaves to be turned into colorless starch. Walker said, "You kind of set the stage depending on rainfall and growth conditions and density of the canopy through the spring and summer. But what really tips the balance are the last weeks of September and the first couple of weeks of October. If we get an early froc fol­ lowed by cool, clear weather, then that's setting the stage for a really spectacular fall." He also said, "What you want to do is to trigger the formation of the abscis­ sion layer and the breakdown of the chlo­ rophyll simultaneously." This year's leaves: Because it depends on the weather during a few specific days, Walker warns against trying to predict the quality of the fall colors. He guesses that because this summer was particularly dry, this year's colors are likely to be rather mediocre. Still, he notes that if we get an early frost, the foliage could be better than av­ erage. For now, those who are particularly fond of the turning leaves can only wear long sleeves and hope for cold weat young German girl from Hamburg forced to leave her Jewish family to seek shelter with a British woman. This movement, dubbed as the "kindertransport," allowed thousands of young Jewish children to find a safe haven as World War II broke, al­ though most were never reunited with their parents. The memories uncovered by Evelyn's daughter reveal a great deal about the young girl torn from her home many years ago. Through a series of poi­ gnant, emotional flashback sequences, young Eva is presented as a girl who at first had great hope that her parents would join her in England. Senior Sloan Muller was fantastic as the young German girl When this information is uncov­ ered by Evelyn's daughter, an emotional battle ensues: Evelyn has tried her best to forget the past, and her mother, who has always encouraged her to do so, stands firm in her support. Howe Faith does not understand w, won't share the memories with her—after all, she says, it's a pan of the family his­ tory. Here, the true struggle of survival is evident.

A smooth combination 1 °caust of flashback sequences and present-day struggles with the past gave "Kindertransport" a powerful message that the Jewish struggle did not end after the liberation of concentration camps. Directed by Department of The­ atre faculty member Linda Weldon, "Kindertransport" focused on Evelyn Miller. Portrayed by senior Lisa M. Whitten, Miller is a seemingly ordinary English woman—but she has an extraor­ dinarily secretive and hidden past. It is not until Evelyn's daughter Faith, played by junior Marianna L. Clark, uncovers a box of memories in the attic that Evelyn's true past unfolds: Evelyn Miller began life as Eva Schlessinger, a with a thick accent who begins her jour­ ney with the utmost innocence and hope—two feelings broken by the harsh realities of the Holocaust. As time progresses, Eva is en­ couraged by her new English mother, played by junior Kelly Miller, to assimi­ late into English culture and forget her heritage—and that includes giving up hope for a reunion with her parents. Eventually, consumed by a fear of being swept away once more by a figurative man called "the Ratcatcher" (portrayed by senior R. Scott Warren) she changes her name, her religion, and even her birthdate as a means of forgetting the past. See Theater page 6 �Page 6 The Appalachian Norris from page 1 Appalachian. Norris was actively involved with SAVE, Students Actively Vol­ unteering for the Environment, and ACES, Appalachian Commu­ nity and Environmental Steward­ ship. The purpose of ACES was for students to have a direct say in the use of their student fees. It was specifically targeted for using money for purchasing 79 acres of land on Howard's Knob for an en­ vironmental park and research area. ACES wanted to make bike paths and walkways that would directly affect Appalachian. The proposal was defeated but it had the largest turnout of voters on campus in Appalachian's history. A senator and external af­ fairs chair in the Student Govern­ ment Association, he also served on special interest projects that focused on environmental issues and felt the two went hand in hand. "I feel like the environment isn't just connected to the ecosys­ tem, it also has to do with the so­ cial strata of what's going on as well," said Norris. Norris tried to raise aware­ ness for bike paths and more use of bicycles. He tried to enact the idea of "critical mass" bikers, which is when a significant amount of people, a critical mass, act to change things. "My education that I received here at Appalachian was tremen­ dous," said Norris. Norris said that his college experience wouldn't have been as great without extracur­ ricular involvement. "I would encourage all students to try and par­ ticipate as much as they can because you only get one shot at this kind of ex­ perience ... college was the best time of my life," said Norris. Norris said that de­ cisions made by the town council affect the students greatly.

"You've got to keep trying to score and hope you have enough when the game ends." For the Buccaneers, scoring wasn't a problem Saturday, as they mauled Appalachian State 51-28 at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The Mountaineers kept the game close until the 7:46 mark of the fourth quarter when they saw their chances of victory slip away as freshman Buccaneer quarterback Todd Wells connected with Antonio Stringfield for an 86-yard touchdown pass, "That was the edge of the game," said Appalachian Coach Jerry Moore. Led by a flawless offensive attack, East Tennessee State never had to punt the ball. As a result, the Buccaneers racked up 707 yards of total offense against the Mountaineer defense. "If you can't force a football team to punt the ball, you have very little chance to win the ballgame," said Moore. ETSU controlled the ball for 35:28, wearing down Appalachian in the long run. With a tired Mountaineer defense on the field, East Tennessee State outrushed the Mountaineers by nearly 300 yards, 330-41. "We put a lot of pressure on the defense," said wide receiver Joey Gibson. "They were on the field a long time and that's our fault." However, the Buccaneers didn't really start to dominate in the rushing game until the second half, when they outrushed the Mountaineers 221 yards to -26 yards. In combatting the offensive effort of the Bucs, Appalachian had an offensive game that would have brought them a win against almost anyone else.

Sunday, against new confernce rival Wofford, Appalachian State cruised to a 3-0 victory, led by junior Paula Levay with her 14 kills and seven digs. Also pacing the Mountaineers was Lorri Schott, who had seven kills and eight blocks. Christine Wendell contributed 39 assists and five service aces to the winning cause. For the most part, the match was j blowout for the Mountaineers, who shut >ut the Lady Terriers 15-0 in the second natch. Wofford made an attempt at a comeback in the last match, forcing \ppalachian to score four extra points, before falling to the home teaqi 19-17. Wofford was led by Katie Adams vith nine kills, while Meredith Koslick idded eight for the Lady Terriers. Meredith Knox had 27 assists in the losing ause. Last Friday, the Mountaineers lefeated visiting Furman 3-1. Led by the lay of Paula Levay who had 19 kills, •ppalachian beat the lady Purple Paladins 5-11,16-14, 9-15,15-7. The 9-15 loss was te only game the Mountaineers have lost i the homestand. Appalachian State received aluable contributions from Lori Schott, cnnifer Rumfeldt and Stephanie Young, ho each made it into the double digit alumn with 10 kills each. Christine fendell also added 48 assists. Furman gave the Mountaineers a ither hard time with the 9-15 loss and im victories of 15-11, 16-14. However, f the time the fourth had rolled around, Purple Paladins spirit was broken. As result they dropped the game 15-7. With the two victories in hand, he volleyball squad has evened out their ecord at 9-9. Up next for the Mountaineers will be non-conference foe Vinthrop Tuesday night, who will make he trip up the mountain from Rock Hill, .C. The Appalachian State men's soccer team was dealt another blow Saturday in Statesboro, Ga, as Georgia Southern, 9-1-1 on the season, defeated the Mountaineers 2-0, marking the Eagles' second consecutive shutout. The win was the seventh consecutive for the Eagles, who hold a 6-3 lead in their series with Appalachian. The teams remained tied at zero for most of the first period. Georgia Southern's Jeremy McClure broke the stalemate at the 29-minute mark, scoring off a Tim Blom assist to put the Eagles up 1-0. ,,, Following the trend set in the first period, scoring was non-existent for most of the second half as well. Until the Georgia Southern scoring tandem of Tim Blom and Jeremy McClure proved effective again. Assisted by Blom, the sophomore McClure found the back of the net in the final six minutes of the contest, constructing a 2-0 victory for the Eagles. The Mountaineers shot the ball 11 times Saturday, twice more than in their past two contests combined. Appalachian's three week road trip is now more than halfway over. The Mountaineers will travel south Thursday to take on UNCAsheville. An Oct. 14 visit to the Keydets of VMI will cap off their fivegame road stint. The Mountaineers will return to Kidd Brewer Stadium to host firstyear Southern Conference member UNC-Greensboro on Wednesday, Oct. 17. Following that, the Mountaineers will have just five matches left before the Southern Conference Tournament, which gets underway Nov. 4.

"We played real hard for the first | tninutes, got the goal, and then relaxed et them (UNC Asheville) get back into game," Appalachian head coach Ben 0ve Popoola said following the contest. Brooks' goal put the Mountaineers in the lead early in the contest. Junior Allison Osborne lofted a corner kick at the 16:23 mark that caromed off the leg of freshman Sara Daliey, falling in front of Brooks, who then snuck the ball past Bulldog goalie Christine Geske. "I was just in the right place at the right time," Brooks said. "Allison's (Osborne) kick was in a great spot and I managed to get an open shot in front of the net." The Bulldogs knotted the score at 1-1 shortly before halftime. Strehle connected on her first goal of the evening, off a pass from forward Mackenzie Miller, at the 42:53, pushing the ball past outstretched Mountaineer goalie Leslie Beckman. Beckman, who did not start the contest, subbed in for junior Allison Wahl after she went down with a leg injury at the 42:00 mark. The second half saw both teams' defenses hold each other in check. The Appalachian backfield of Katie Hand, Christine Monica, and Becky Neal kept the Bulldog forwards from getting into a favorable scoring position. With time running down in regulation, the Bulldog connection of Strehle and Miller would strike again, netting the game winner at the 83:25 mark, sealing the UNC Asheville victory. Despite the loss, the Mountaineer offense showed signs of being back in sync after the four game scoring lapse. Along with the goal from Brooks, Appalachian see Soccer on page 8 Ashton Robinson closes in for the kill, (photo by Melissa Henao-Robledo) �The Appalachian • Page 8 The Appalachian see Soccer on page 8 moved the ball on offense well, returning to their slick passing style that proved successful at the beginning of the season. "After we let them get back in the game like that, I think we just lost our composure, and that led to us losing the game," Popoola said. On netting her first career goal in the contest, Brooks added: "It was a great feeling when 1 saw that ball hit the back of the net. I just wish that, as a team, we could have won tonight. It was a tough game to lose." Appalachian battles Southern Conference opponents in four of their final six contests, beginning with East Tennessee State tomorrow night. The Bucs, in their first year as a Division I soccer program, have defined the term "struggling on offense", netting only five goals in their first eleven matches. Three of their five scores came in a 3-1 victory over Belmont, which lifted their overall record to 1-10 on the season. Appalachian's remaining conference matches will take place away from Boone, as the team travels to Wofford, Furman, and Chattanooga. The Mountaineers have split two previous matches with Wofford and took three contests from Chattanooga last season. Appalachian has only downed Furman one time in seven previous encounters.

On the bright side, a few Mountaineers were also able to break a couple of records in the loss. Quarterback Bake Baker threw for 346 yards and four touchdowns, both career highs for the Kinston native. Wide receiver Joey Gibson had a career record 133 yards receiving on just four catches.

This pattern of offense proved to be the trend for the Bucs as they scored a touchdown on every possession in the half. The Mountaineers will have little time to dwell on the loss as they travel to South Carolina to play Furman, next weekend, a team that they have won only six games against in 26 meetings. "I told the players in the locker room that there's nothing we can do about this ballgame," Moore said, "The thing we've got to do now is focus on the next several weeks." Senior defensive lineman Jackie Avery also added, "If we dwell on a loss like this we definitely won't be winning the conference. You've got to put it behind you." Thurs.

Through numerous projects aimed at promoting free enterprise, SIFE stu­ dents gain the important skills, beyond those learned in the classroom, necessary for their careers. These projects range from educat­ ing students in nearby elementary schools to traveling to Washington, D.C. to gain awareness of the national debt. SIFE teams from colleges and uni­ versities world-wide are challenged by annual competitions that judge the qual­ ity of the projects they've accomplished throughout the year. Chad Kauffman, a junior marketing major, attended the 1997 SIFE interna­ tional competition in Kansas City. He said, "Going to the SIFE compe­ tition took me from an interest [in the pro­ gram] to a goal geared toward starting SIFE at Appalachian." Kauffinan feels the biggest benefit SIFE has for students is its networking opportunities. "I had the opportunity at the com­ petition to be in a professional atmo­ sphere, meeting and interacting with cor­ porate executives as well as other SIFE students," he said. Another feature of the SIFE program is its availability to students with varied college majors and interests. "We need people who are interested in business, graphic design and commu­ nications," Kauffman said. "A successful SIFE team also needs students who have good writing and speaking skills," he said. see SIFE on page 2 Statues commemorating the work of former university chancellor W.H. Plemmons and the centennial year of Ap­ palachian State University will soon be added as permanent campus fixtures. The centennial sculpture will be un­ veiled in the fall of 1999, Appalachian's 100th anniversary year. To mark the occa­ sion, the new sculpture will stand where the old fountain is on Sanford Mall. A nationwide competition invited artists to create a sculpture based on sev­ eral things. These criteria required pieces to be realistic, figurative, and cast in bronze. In addition, each work was to in­ clude multiple figures and be scaled at life size or larger. Each sculpture was to rec­ ognize the diversity of the university popu­ lation. Artwork illustrating the involve­ ment of women in the university was also encouraged. Finally, each sculpture was to be in­ tegrated with the site to promote physi­ cal interaction with the Appalachian com­ munity. All of these criteria were published in a pamphlet distributed across the coun­ try. The contest first drew fifteen entries, a number eventually narrowed to three finalists by the university's centennial sculpture commitee. Hank Forman, Director of the university's Catherine Smith Gallery and member of the centennial sculpture com­ mittee, said the three artists selected as finalists were asked to submit a model of their proposed sculptures. The finalists are Jay Warren of Sugar Grove; Myra Weisgold from Bala Cynwyd, PA; and Alexander Tylevich of St. Paul, MN. Forman hopes the addition of the centennial sculpture in 1999 will positively impact the university.

Thomas serves as White House Bureau Chief for United Press Interna­ tional (UPI). Her address, "The White House Years: Kennedy to Clinton," will be presented tonight at 8 p.m. Her lecture will run approximately 45 minutes. A question-and-answer ses­ sion will follow the lecture. Thomas comes to Appalachian as part of the Office of Cultural Affairs' Fo­ rum Series, according to Denise Weissberg, the office's director of mar­ keting. Weissberg said a committee within the Office of Cultural Affairs suggests and researches possible speakers for the Forum Series. Other personnel contract speakers and arrange their visits to the university, she said. The office attempts to in­ vite a variety of speakers each year, Weissberg said. Lecturers of varying back­ are grounds considered to contribute to Thomas the diverse academic climate of the university. "The series really strives to compli­ ment classroom learning," Weissberg said. Thomas' lecture has been desig­ nated as the 1997 Joan Askew Vail Me­ morial Lecture, said Weissberg. \fail was an Appalachian professor for 25 years. Following her death in 1990, her husband established an anuual lec­ ture to honor his wife's committment to teaching, said Weissberg. �The Appalach:ian2 Page 2 Sculptures from page 1 hare," he said. Vice Chancellor of Student bevelopment Dr. Gregory Blimling said the sculpture ties in with themes of the centennial. "(That) will be our centennial year and we want to focus on our core values of teaching and student learning," he said. The sculpture of W.H. Plemmons is being prepared by Sherry Edwards, an art depart­ ment faculty member. Edwards was asked by Blimling to sculpt the former chancellor. Edwards said she is using a composite to form her sculpture and is also relying on pictures of Plemmons, particularly shots from his younger days. The statue is slated for placement in front of Plemmons Student Union on the side facing Sanford Mall. Edwards said she first ar­ rived at Appalachian in 1969, just as Plemmons was set to retire. Edwards said she cannot recall an unkind memory of him. "I am totally involved with the man (Plemmons) and his his­ tory and I would like to create a likeness of Plemmons that reflects on the memories of those who knew him best," Edwards said. I Edwards hopes students, Other finalist pieces in the centennial compe­ tition are from Alexander Tylevich of St. Paul, MN (left) and Jay Warren of Sugar Grove (below), (photos by Melissa Henao-Robledo) faculty and staff can look at the sculpture and learn something. "I hope people will realize the history that surrounds them, and are able to see Plemmons through the eyes of the people that knew him," she said. "I think the support [for SIFE] from the business commu­ nity will be strong," he said. Parrish said SIFE could have several direct benefits for the uni­ versity. At regional and international SIFE competitions, banners for each participating school are car­ ried, he said. Parrish foresees an "ambas­ sadorial exposure" that could draw prospective students to Appala­ chian through SIFE. Interested students should attend an informational meeting about SIFE tonight at 7 p.m. in room 1018, Raley Hall, Parrish said. "I'd like to see a lot of stu­ dents show up at the meeting to learn about the SIFE program, to learn about what it does, most importantly, what it (SIFE) can mean to students in their career development," said Parrish. Freshman Amanda Roulic plans to attend SIFE's informa­ tional meeting and may join the 1997-98 team. She is hopeful about the or­ ganization. Roulic said, "I hope to gain a better understanding of free enterprise and make connections for a job in the future." Roulic hopes SIFE can also help her decide on a college ma­ jor, she said. Roulic said she has an inter­ est in marketing and graphic de­ sign. "I feel the combination of my interests would benefit the SIFE team at Appalachian," she said. "I am a good oral communi­ cator too, which is needed for many of SIFE's programs and the competition," she said. SIFE from page 1 1, L ]l| I I > ' ! "We can incorporate a lot of the student body here at Appala­ chian (since) SIFE is a universal organization," said Kauffman. With the help of Tim Burwell, assistant dean of the School of Business, Kauffman re­ cruited William Ffcrrish Jr. to be the advisor of SIFE for the 1997-98 school year. Parrish, director of the university's Small Business Tech­ nology Development Center, proved a match made in heaven with SIFE, Kauffman said. "He has constant interaction with small businesses and entre­ preneurs throughout the state," said Kauffman. Parrish feels Appalachian students and faculty will benefit greatly from the SIFE program since it has the capacity to incor­ porate so many interests. 0ctSrhe Strep throat season in fujjjF swing, infirmary says | Health Perspective Sherrie Huffman group "C" strain.

The day-long event brought a group of 88 students and faculty who converged to celebrate the exceptionality of college-level honors programs with speeches, small seminars and a luncheon. Participants came from sev­ eral North Carolina institutions, including Elon College, North Carolina Central University, North Carolina State University and Eastern and Western Caro­ lina universities. The convention's keynote speaker was Andrew L. Abrams, Senior Vice Chancellor for Institu­ tional Research and Planning at the College of Charleston. His address aimed to inspire honors students to give back to the community for all of its efforts on their behalf. Other presentations covered the incorporation of the Internet into honors courses and ideas on student organizations. Dr. Don Saunders, co-chair of NCHA and the university's honors program coordinator, said the main intent of the meeting was to learn how to expand the honors program's resources and promote Appalachian's own program.

Kevin Burnette Columnist What the hell is wrong with people? Can some­ one explain to this mild-mannered mountain boy what makes them do what they do? Especially tour­ ists. What the hell is wrong with tourists? Were 90 percent of them dropped on their heads as infants? Of course not, otherwise most of us would have brain damage, and obviously that's not the case. Maybe, (this is a stretch) maybe, these folks just come from a world that is choking on its own technology and basically dulling the wits of its own common sense. Scary thought, isn't it? It's even scarier to see it up close. Being in the fortunate or unfortunate (you take your pick) position of catering to these quasi-adventure seeking Americans and foreigners, I came across some sterling examples. My hometown, for instance, is one of the tourism capitals of western North Caro­ lina. Everyone who grew up there or even lived there for any length of time could spot "ye olde tourist" at 1000 yards. Now, there were usually three types of tourists: #l-the old folks, mostly retired Florida trans­ plants (yknow, they're the people who try to pass themselves off as Florida natives when they're really from New Jersey or Ohio); #2-the family vacation­ ers, parents and their 2.5 children — the Griswald mold; #3-the groups of mindless teens on youth trips, >hn O'Brien John Starling Opinion Editor Manager atia Huskins toduction Manager Jeremy Ball Features Editor ®thany Parrish hotography Editor Justin Griffin Sports Editor momma was a white squaw that the braves took on a winter raiding party" The real fun came from class two, the family vacationers. These tourists are always jerks. I guess the reason why was that 2.5 children factor of scream­ ing, fighting and whining on a 10-hour drive (I'd be on edge, too). I don't know if these folks just aren't with it all the way, or if they've just experienced too much of the great Ameri­ can outdoors of carbon mon­ oxide and burnt hot dogs.

Sometimes you'll run across the hostile breed of old farts who think that the world owes them something just because they can remember the neolithic age and have a senior citizen's discount. Avoid this small sect of class one. The only real problem I could see with old folks is that they might make it to the speed limit in their yacht-sized Cadillacs if a bolt of lightning shot up their tail-pipe. But hey, they don't care, they're retired. They can take life as slow as they want to, it's all down hill for them anyway.

McAlisteris comments are in regular type while Padgett's are in italics. Welcome to the inaugural run of the "Everybody's a Critic" movie reviews. My name is Chad McAlister and this is Brandon Padgett. Hello. The first movie to go un­ der our tandem microscope is the 20th Century Fox Movie Network production The Edge." Chuck's Miserable Rotten Life by Chuck Cundiff The film stars Anthony Hopkins, Alec Baldwin, and film veteran Bart the Bear. The movie begins with the billionaire mogul Charles Morse (Anthony Hopkins) accom­ panying his loving super model wife Mickey (Elle Macpherson) on a photo shoot in rustic Alaska. I ' m sure she married him for love. Well maybe just his intel­ lect or wonderful personality. Anyway, the shoot is led by eager fashion photographer Robert Green (Alec Baldwin). A photo opt excursion leads to the inevitable stranding in the wilder­ ness of Charles, Robert, and Robert's flunky assistant (Harold Perenean). The three men are left with only Charles' theoretical knowledge of wilderness survival. While in the woods, the central plots, both psychological and dra­ matic, begin to evolve. First, Charles discovers that Robert has become a little too friendly with his wife (Maybe she didn't marry him for love). More! Tuesdays are College Nights with drink specials and a great happy hour spread ... Mondays it's time for football and half-price specials on our famous "Hindenberg" subs ... Every day you can find quick lunch specials, great food and good times ... at Macado's! 64-1375 It's directed by Lee Tamahori of "Mulholland Falls fame. 539 W.King St. ours: Sun.-Thurs. 9am-12:30am; Fri. & Sat. 9am-l:30am Told you so. Here lies the perfect con­ flict: will Charles, a regular Martha Stewart in the outdoors, help Robert, who is trying to steal his wife, survive in the forest, or will he simply allow him to erode in the wilderness? Second, sim­ ply for drama, the survivors are stalked during their brief layover by a 2,500- pound, blood-thirsty kodiak bear (Bart the Bear). Needless to say, their struggle for survival takes hold of every clich6 that has ever existed in a "lost in the wilderness" story. The men have to fight the ele­ ments and animals that nature sends them and deal with the de­ ception of camaraderie between them. Baldwin and Hopkins turn in average performances that leave no great impression on the viewer. There is, however, one performance that comes across as Oscar worthy. Bart the Bear eas­ ily becomes the star of the movie. Not since Chewbacca the Wookie has an oversized, furry creature commanded the screen and stole the spotlight from the highly-paid, prevalent actors. Extra loose. Extra comfortable. Men's Loose Fit Jeans What about Silent Bob? Duly noted. The anger that he shows during his chase scenes actually had me believing that he is in fact a bear. In the book of Mother Boyle, the word comfort is defined as loose fit jeans. Nothing fits better, or feels better, than these 100% cotton heavyweight denim jeans with Columbia's Biowash™ finish. Copper rivets, woven Columbia label. Columbia • Sportswear Company® Makes you think twice about future camping trips. Tamahori takes full ad­ vantage of the magnificent land­ scape. The scenery is breathtak­ ing and the fight scenes entail sev­ eral innovative shots which add a little life to a culture desensitized to modern day violence.

On our scale of 1-5 (see sidebar) I give it a 3.5. Au contraire mon frere I give it a 2..5. It's hard for me to be­ lieve that two green socialites can be thrust into the wilderness and sud­ denly become a couple of modern day Grizzly Adams. However, the film was a visual treat and the addition of Bart seemed to make it more bear­ able. Sorry, / couldn't resist. 'The Edge" shows daily at the Chalet Triple Theatres at 7:00 and 9:10.

Duke up by a goal. Senior Matt Shattuck added two goals, as did junior Josh Henderson, as the Blue Devils went on to win with a 9-1 score. The Wake Forest visit was not exactly the rebound the Mountaineers were looking for. The Mountaineers stayed within reach during the first half, but the Demon Deacons turned on the afterburners in period two, outshooting Appalachian 35-7. The fifth-ranked Blue Devils got on the board early as freshman Ali Curtis scored at 4:47 into the contest. After seven unanswered goals, Appalachian limped off the field, falling 9-0. Appalachian tied the score at 1-1 with a Naoshi Yamauchi penalty kick less than five minutes later, but Duke's fire was spreading. The remaining points in the contest would belong to the Blue Devils. Luckily, The Mountaineers' next contests do not involve ACC opponents. The squad will travel south Saturday to take on Southern Conference rival Georgia Southern. After appearances at UNC-Asheville and VMI, the Mountaineers will return to Boone to face UNC-Greensboro on Oct. 17. Rob Holliday Staff Writer One victory, six losses, and a tie.

The Buccaneers, who are ranked 14th nationally, have only a 3227 loss against James Madison on their record. The game, which will start at 1 p.m., is the first game of the year for the Mountaineers with playoff implications, and ultimately, the contest may decide the Southern Conference championship "The games just get bigger every week," Appalachian State Coach Moore said. "This is a game vital to both teams, in terms of a Southern Conference championship." To date, ETSU has been one of the Southern Conference's more potent offensive teams, with players leading the conference in nearly every statistical category. "East Tennessee State may be the hottest team in the conference right now," said Moore. "They very well could be at 4-0 right now." Last year, East Tennessee State defeated the Mountaineers 31-10 behind the running of Brandon Walker, who gained 147 yards in the contest and ran for two t o u c h d o w n s . Quarterback Greg Ryan passed for 164 yards as ETSU gained 421 yards of total offense in the outing. For ETSU, the win was a turning point for their program. The 31-10 drubbing was the Buccaneers' first victory over ASU since 1981. Gone from last year's team are Coach Mike Cavan and quarterback Greg Ryan. However, little has changed from last year's team. This year's team leads �Appalachian- The Page 10 Drought from page 9 the conference in total offense, averaging 434 yards per game. Individually, freshman Buccaneer quarterback Todd Wells leads the conference in total offense with 227.5 yards per game. Brandon Walker leads the conference with 107 yard rushing per outing. However, Appalachian has a few guns of their own with senior quarterback Bake Baker, who runs a close second to Wells with 227 yards of total offense per game. Wide receiver Joey Gibson leads the conference in receptions with 7.3 a game. As a team, Appalachian leads the conference in passing offense with nearly 233 yards per game. Leading the Buccaneers will be first year coach Paul Hamilton. A graduate of Appalachian State, Hamilton served as the quarterback coach at Air Force for seven years until receiving the call from the boys at ETSU. Incidentally, this will be Hamilton's first meeting with Appalachian State. "I know coach Hamilton is looking forward to bringing his team to his alma mater," Moore said. "We know they will be well prepared for this game." With national rankings and the Southern Conference championship hanging in the balance, this is a premier Division I-AA football game, and one which could make or break the season for either team. he writ.

This semester, Ap­ palachian State University received ap­ proximately $3.4 million of equity fund­ ing, money the university should have been awarded earlier from the University of North Carolina system. A committee was formed within the UNC system several years ago to decide if various schools in the system were be­ ing underfunded, said Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Bill Ward. Appalachian was underfunded and received compensatory money from the UNC system, said Ward. The $3.4 million is part of the ex­ pansion budget and will be dispersed this semester, according to Ward. Ward said the funding is appreci­ ated. "We are not adequately funded even still, but we very much appreciate legis­ lation coming through with some addi­ tional support for us," he said. This supplemental money will be added as part of ASU's annual budget, said Ward. The money will be distributed Ward said a new Institutional Re­ throughout the university as needed, ac­ search assistant will be hired to conduct cording to Ward.

"We're pleased [to receive the money]," said Mitchell. "Our purpose is to provide the best range of intellectual resources, and now we'll be able to do [that] better," Mitchell said. The library will purchase many new books and will upgrade many databases, as well as installing new ones, said Mitchell. New journal subscriptions will be made, and three new FirstSearch ports will be installed to supplement the cur­ rent five that are used, Mitchell said. From a librarian's standpoint, Mitchell is pleased with the funding. "For years we have worked hard to receive the needed money. It is gratify­ ing that the work has finally paid off," said Mitchell. Ward said ASU is not in a completely equitable position just yet. "Although this additional $3.4 mil­ lion, in our view, does not get us into a totally equitable position with respect to the other institutions in the UNC system, we are extremely happy to have this op­ portunity to offer more resources to our students and faculty," he said. Breakfast makes Borkowski accessible to students Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski shows his casual side during a meeting with The Appalachian staff. Students may see this side via Breakfast with Borkowski. (file photo by Marvin Evans) Katie Ward Staff Writer While enjoying a continental break­ fast, select Appalachian State University students have the opportunity to help re­ store the student voice in "Breakfast with Borkowski" sessions this year. The program is a platform goal of Student Government Association Presi­ dent Fernando Little and Vice President Jake Parker. Through Breakfast with Borkowski sessions, students can talk openly with Chancellor Francis T Borkowski and voice concerns and discuss campus issues. This informal discussion will hope­ fully open doors of communication be­ tween the administration and the student body, according to Parker. "We are very excited about complet­ ing this platform goal, and we hope to make the chancellor seem like more of a person to the students," Parker said. Vice chancellors and other adminis­ trators will be invited to attend breakfasts as guests, according to Parker. However, the main conversation will revolve around Borkowski and students attending the meeting, Parker said. The inaugural breakfast was held Sept. 16 and included the SGA Cabinet and members of the university Leadership Cabinet. Parker said the first discussion was a success and provided a good mix be­ tween the cabinet and other student lead­ ers. Parker hopes the breakfast meetings will prove successful and grow into a con­ tinuing Appalachian tradition, even after the Little-Parker term is over. "We hope this program will continue, while helping the chancellor access the students and allowing students to get an­ swers to their questions," Parker said. "We are always willing to hear the concerns of our constituents," he said. Breakfasts are coordinated by SGA Student Affairs Chairperson Stacey Bern. Bern and other cabinet members oversee the selection of students to attend the breakfasts. Recommendation forms will be sent to clubs, residence halls and academic departments, Bern said. Each organization may nominate students who might benefit the program. Based on the applications, a fiveperson student committee will select a panel of 15 to 20 students to attend the morning discussion with the chancellor, said Bern. "We hope to get a wide range of stu­ dents with different points and ideas," Bern said. "The flow of communication be­ tween the administration and the students can happen," she said. Chancellor Borkowski was unavail­ able for comment on the breakfast meet­ ings. The second of five breakfasts will be Tuesday, Oct. 21 in Welborn Cafeteria's east wing. Proposal suggests 1998 freshmen lease laptop computers from university Leslie Hitchcock Staff Writer Future freshman back-to-school checklists may soon include a computer as a required item. An increasing student population and a leveling of the numbers of com­ puters available has made the Appala­ chian State University administration consider requiring incoming freshmen to bring a standard model of computer. Vice Chancellor for Academic Af­ fairs Bill Ward said this idea is in the form of a proposal presented as a two year pilot study. Starting in 1998, 200 incoming freshmen will be invited to lease a stan­ dard laptop computer model, he said. Freshmen involved in the pilot study will be academically and socially diverse and will be enrolled in classes taught by professors proficient with the same laptop computer, said Ward. The proposal suggets that 200 ad­ ditional freshmen lease'an identical laptop computer in 1999. At the end of a three-year period, the entire incoming freshmen class will potentially lease the same model of computer. In four years, the entire undergradu­ ate population could be skilled with the same model of computer, Ward said. "(This proposal) is going beyond merely requiring that every student have a computer. It's prescribing a specific com­ puter so that in effect we're all on the same technological (page)," said Ward. The proposal will not affect the ad­ mittance process, said Associate Vice Chancellor of Enrollment Services T. Jo­ seph Watts. "If it is a requirement that all stu­ dents (bring a specific computer), it can be part of the financial aid budget," said Watts. Placing computers in the budget will enable students to procure grants, loans or work studies to allow them to purchase the computer, Watts said. There will also be an institutional commitment to raise money to support students who could not afford the required computet The estimated cost associated with the two-year pilot study is $1.7 million, said Associate Vice Chancellor for Admin­ istration, A1 Rapp. Rapp said costs associ­ ated with the pilot study are connected with capital and annual costs, which reflect the cost and maintenance of the computers. The computers will not affect current computer labs, said Director of Computer Management and Information Technology Services, Jeff Wil­ liams. "The current (computer) labs will make a transition into more specialized labs (with) higher equipment than what students (will) have," Will­ iams said. Current computer labs will be adapted for research and teaching for the indi­ vidual departments, said Wil­ liams. The university is not try­ ing to place burdens on stu­ dents, Williams said. "We are trying to see how we can help our students, competitively," he said. Freshman Cristen E.

Even a trip into orbit. Now, for some exuberant six-digit amount, u too can ride aboard NASA's pride and joy: e Space Shuttle. An article was published in the Thursday's ediin of the USA Today stating how a start-up firm iace Adventures is taking reservations for subbital flights beyond the Earth's atmosphere. The oject has been held over since the Challenger cident. The flights will take passengers to an altitude 62 miles, about as half as far as shuttles go iw. The trips will last from 30 to 90 minutes d the passengers will experience weighdessness d see the Earth from above. Oh yeah, it will only cost from $75,00000,000. Pocket change. It just seems ludicrous that even a hefty lount of money can interfere with NASA's origi1 intent to improve humanity's knowledge of ace. The room for crew and equipment would cely take a cut. The experiments that teach us i much in preparation for further exploration of iace will undoubtedly suffer while Niles and iffy sip their cosmic champagne in Atlantis's irgo bay. Would NASA be responsible for the training vilians need before venturing through the stratoihere? Astronauts certainly don't go up there lysically unfit, ready for a pleasant jaunt in the ild weightlessness. It's debatable whether a cilian could survive without the training that is andard for military personnel. Not many of the ealthy would be willing to break a sweat over lything, much less what they would see as a ication. Although the amount of time spent in orbit ould not be great and the funding would be priite, why waste the money? Why waste money aiding ships that can go up halfway when that oney could be taken to further advance missions Mars or other space exploration. This is not the )'s and Reagan is not president. Simply put, space is not the place for sight­ ing. Sure there's that breathtaking view of irth. When you're done gaping at this sight, you in always stare into the purple-blue of space, 'ow. The only way that it seems feasible to allow vilians into space is to devote a single shuttle to >ace Tours. What a waste. There's many more ings that the space program could be using its chnology for. Too much time and energy have me into making our country's space program putable to be thrown away by glory-hungry tours who want to say, "Hey I paid to go into orbit!" Although it's a sad concern to bring up, what there's another Challenger-type mishap? Can i risk losing more face in the eyes of the world ' allowing civilians to die, as opposed to miliry and scientific personnel who know full well iat they're getting into? It's not cool for anyone die in such a fashion, but imagine the horror of e world if it was a ship full of Joe Civilians. They rtainly wouldn't be seen as martyrs for the exoration of space. Even though the venture is private, there is ore at stake than someone's money. One of the ain concerns should be with the integrity of nerica's future in space. Whether it's because f the danger these civilians are putting them:lves in or the wasted time, effort and money, >ace exploration is putting itself on the line. Is it worth all this for a few minutes in space? The Appalachian is published every Tuesday and lursday of the academic year with the exception of lected holidays and breaks.

Darin Glass Editor-in-Chief like Daniels Beth Bliss lanaging Editor News Editor °hn O'Brien John Starling usiness Opinion Editor u'ia Manager Huskins r°duction ethany Manager Parrish hotography Editor Jeremy Ball Features Editor Justin Griffin Sports Editor Columnist In our turbulent world of clashing ideals and mismatched associations, there exist but a few per­ fect combinations. These dynamic duos provide the solace which gives the populace that much needed comfort and aura of rightness with the world. Among these perfect matches are peas/carrots, ice cream/ apple pie, mashed potatoes/gravy, hot chocolate/ marshmallows, peanut butter/jelly, cookies/milk, frat guys/cheap beer, sororities/hairspray and Marv Albert/muzzles. These are the foundations that can be justly counted on. However, one of the most sa­ cred and holy of perfect combinations was intention­ ally excluded from the preceding list. That combination, of course, being the exquis­ ite fusion of the gende aroma and flavor of coffee with the smooth, relaxing draw of a cigarette. Al­ though it may seem a travesty to not include this coupling first and foremost on the list, the logistics behind its exclusion defdy explain the reason. The recent addition of Tradewinds Coffee House has been greeted with utmost approval by the ASU student body. It stands as a center for fine art, gour­ met coffee, and friendly chitchat. The tragic flaw of this so-called "coffee house" is its despicable no-smok­ ing policy. No coffeehouse can exist in perfection when lacking the quintessential ingredient to fully appreciate the subde delicacies of premium Java. To rob the coffee connoisseur of this simple yet impor­ tant privilege is no different than spitting hawkers into the air pots or mixing gravel with the coffee grounds. Smoking is a necessity. Tradewinds should therefore not only inte­ grate a new smoking section, but make the en­ tire shop re­ quired smoking. This would be a monumental fa­ vor to the cus­ tomer and pro­ vide a feeling of security to AppCard-paying parents who are unsure whether they are getting their money's worth. Anyone who cannot provide proof of their impending tobacco ex­ perience shall be charged extra as punishment for desecrating the true qualities of their coffee. Granted, the fear of smoking carcinogens has left Tradewinds' hands tied. The risk of lung cancer is comparably small to the gratification of a pleasant cup of coffee and a cigarette. There is something utterly disgusting about strolling into a coffeehouse and not seeing the familiar haze of silver smoke. What are the chess players without the billows of smoke rising from their thoughtful fingertips? What are the philosophers without an exotic cigarette tenu­ ously dangling from their mouths? What are the beat­ niks without the wisps of smoke clinging to their black turtlenecks? All are nothing but a congregation of fools sipping bland coffee. Health concerns are but a small consideration when dealing with the enjoyment of coffee and its surrounding ambiance. However, accomplishing muchthis needed im­ provement would not be the easiest task to undertake. Living on a campus with virtually no smoker-friendly buildings has left smok­ ers' morale virtually gasping for breath. Overcom­ ing the obstacles of health restrictions and uptight administrators would prove to be a feat much too great for any lone vigilante. The solution lies in the masses. Let the ruling classes tremble at a smokers' revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to smoke. Smok­ ers of ASU unite!

The threatre is hot, the seats are uncomfortable, year after The Flick on Hardin Street closed. In fact I think APPS does a pretty good job of and the sound is poor. For much of the first half of the movie I had trouble understanding what the ac­ getting movies that aren't likely to be shown down- town and that students will want to see. However, I think a lot more students would go to see these movies if they were being shown in a better venue. My suggestion is this: ever since The Flick closed it has been sitting there doing nothing, at least until the bagelry opens there. And even when that does open, could a bagelry possibly fill up two movie the­ atres? What I propose is that APPS and the owner of Durango Bagel get together and figure out a way that APPS could show their movies there and in exchange, the owner of the ba­ gel shop could make part of the profit from the tick­ ets and get the business of having students eating his bagels and whatever other food he plans to serve for about two hours. I don't even eat bagels but I would go there and try some if a good movie like Chasing Amy were showing there. As long as the projector doesn't break.

Letters to the Editor Coach Moore needs to loosen up the offense and blow teams out on occasion. Everybody's doing it. To the Editor: Jeff Davis Alumnus-1993 JDAVJ@aol.com I am a bit puzzled with Head Football Coach Jerry Moore following Saturday's 27-23 win over Eastern Kentucky. I was under the impression that this season we were committed to a passing of­ fense. With Bake Baker's late season success a year ago and continued success in his opener against Clemson, it seemed our focus would be on passing and not the "up the gut" running attack to which we have all grown accustomed. However, I witnessed Jerry Moore's Mountain­ eers rush the ball 40 times and attempt a mere 22 passes. This would mean the Mountaineers aver­ aged roughly five pass attempts per quarter. In the season opener we managed to pass for nearly 300 yards against a Clemson defense rated as one of the top defenses in all of college foot­ ball. Yet against Eastern Kentucky we could only manage 122 yards. It seems to me that Coach Moore is content with playing on the level of his opponent and is quick to abandon the passing at­ tack and return to his conservative comfort zone, the run. In what was a season of high expectations, I feel that we the fans are doomed to anther con­ servative, ground based style of boring football. Oh, we'll win win most of our games on sheer su­ perior athleticism but will lose a few wallowing in the trenches when we could have passed our way to an easy win. Coach Moore, loosen up, it's OK to open up Promise Keepers rock To the Editor: I read with interest your article on the NOW state conference in which the guest columnist indicated that the workshop will "address tactics to combat the Promise Keepers, a national anti-woman ...group." I personally know several men who have attended a Promise Keeper's convention, and none of them are "anti-woman." As a matter of fact, all of them have the utmost respect for women and their actions indi­ cate such. I reviewed the seven promises that men are encouraged to make as a Promise Keeper, and found that only one of them deals specifically with women and that it is anything but anti-woman. It reads as follows: "A Promise Keeper is committed to build strong marriages and families through love, pro­ tection and Biblical values. All men, whether mar­ ried or not, can further the work of God by honoring women and supporting their families. If married, a Promise Keeper intends to convince his wife that she is the most important person in his life (apart from Jesus Christ). He is learning to honor her by listen­ ing and by regularly praying with and for her. In the same way he is committed to honor his children, set­ ting an example for them of what a godly man should 'p be." The guiding principles of the Promise Keep­ ers are Christian and, therefore, teach that men are to take the leadership role in their families. I am sure that many feminists feel threatened by this. However, our country needs more men who are willing to make a strong commitment to their families based on Biblical values of respect, honor amd love; and I, as a woman, am thankful that we have an organization like Promise Keepers that is encouraging men to do just that. Lois Evans Office of Student Development Blood drive coverage missed To the Editor: I have always been very happy with the fact that The Appalachian covers many activities on campus, especially events that promote things for other people. One of the things that has impressed me in the past is the coverage The Appalachian gives to Red Cross Blood Drives. However, I was deeply disappointed to note that there was no coverage for the blood drive on campus on Sept. 10 in the Student Union other than the short note to let people know it was coming. The Blood Drive on Sept. 10 had 193 people donate blood. Of these 193, 164 units were us­ able. For each pint of blood, three people were helped. That is a total of 492 people!

Cassie Bair ASU Box 07650 Bum 'rush' to the sororities To the Editor: Greek organizations have long been scrutinized. I must say that I In November, 1960, Helen Thomas began covering then President-elect John F. Kennedy, following him to the White House inJanuary, 1961 as a member of the UPI team. She was the only print journalist traveling with then-president Nixon to China during his break-through trip in Januaiy, 1972. Since then, she has traveled to China with then-Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Presidents Ford, Reagan, and Bush. She has traveled around the world several times, covering economic summits with Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush and Clinton, and now serves as UPI's White House Bureau Chief. was extremely disappointed to see that in the Tuesday, Sept. 16, 1997 edition of The Appalachian, our college newspaper, which claims to promote "fairness, ac­ curacy, and public service", did just the opposite. The rush process is not at all perfect. However; I can say that the process is as fair as it can pos­ sibly be. Sororities are concerned with campus involvement, lead­ ership, and community service. When we rush girls, questions regarding such activities are al­ ways asked. It would be almost impossible and quite pointless to require each girl to come up with and write an essay as part of the rush application process. Pro­ spective rushees could easily fab­ ricate their essays, and with 200300 girls going through the rush process, it would be impossible for each member to read each indi­ vidual essay within the week-long time frame. "Cheesy songs and cheers", as The Appalachian called them, show spirit and enthusiasm for Greek life and sisterhood. If a girl chooses a sorority based on the songs or the appearance of the sis­ ters, then sadly she has chosen so­ rority life for the wrong reasons. Sorority life is about friend­ ships, sisterhood, encouragement and involvement. The sorority women on this campus are in­ volved in many activities outside of their particular Greek organiza­ tion. Each woman has found a sorority which fosters her personal growth and particular academic needs. I am sad to see that The Appalachian did not acknowledge that in their Opinion column. Nor did they acknowledge the fact that our GPA is higher than the all- women's average on campus. What angers me most is that the "Sororities should 'rush' into the 90's" column was written by the staff of The Appalachian. The article was not the opinion of one member of the staff, rather it is seen as the opinion of the (entire staff of) The Appalachian. It was far from an accurate representa­ tion of sorority rush and it most certainly was not at all fair to the current and future members of Greek organizations. A formal apology to the entire Greek com­ munity would be very appropriate. Where did you get your facts from? Have any of the members of your staff been through the rush process? I would never discour­ age any student from joining an organization because I did not ap­ prove, yet The Appalachian did just that. The article stated that, "we would hope that college women wouldn't want to join an organization with a teddy bear as Psychotherapy Associates of Boone Bill Lindau, M.

There are lots of great musicians out there who often play loud, discordant music. Sonic Youth and the Flaming Lips come to mind. However, many modern bands rely on noise and drama rather than talent, and recycle old ideas instead of creating their own. Face it, any fool can scream. True musical pioneers are few and far between. One of them, lucky for us, is from North Carolina, and for a short time attended ASU. His name is Eric Bachmann. Eric has been the vo­ calist/guitarist for the band Archers of Loaf since its inception. In 1995, however; he took a little time off to record a solo album, Barry Black on Alias Records, an independent label. This album was a total departure from all of his previous work. It combined jazz, classical, folk, synth, and rock to cre­ ate truly unique and fresh music. Like the first, the second Barry Black album, 'Tragic Animal Stories," is almost entirely instrumental. It follows the standard of quality set by its prede­ cessor, but at the same time is totally original. Bachmann uses a different combi­ nation of musicians on each track to give every song on the album a different feel and flavor. Bachmann often utilizes non-tradi­ tional instruments, such as alarm clocks, samplers, tape machines, and e-bows, to create an album that follows no formu­ las or melodic "rules." Highlights of the album in­ clude "The Horrible Truth About Plank­ ton," and the second track "When Sharks Smell Blood," a hauntingly beautiful piece featuring musicians Cookie Jack­ son and Jennifer Alexandra Johnston on cello. The songs on "Tragic Animal Sto­ ries" do not follow a collective theme, instead they take separate directions that explore different sounds and musical tex­ tures. Go buy this CD and listen to it with an open mind; you will find it with the Archers of Loaf records. Kindertransport This Department of Theater and Dance performance begins at 8 p.m. Oct. 1-5.

Managing Editor If ever a team looked destined to win from the moment they walked onto the field, Appalachian State did Saturday night in Charleston. The Mountaineers took the ball 73 yards on the opening drive and ate up eight minutes and 28 seconds of clock time as they drove down the field and through the hearts of The Citadel defense en route to a 7-0 lead and an eventual 40-15 win at rain-soaked JohnsonHagood Stadium. 55 Moore, who had only a 1-3 record against the Bulldogs in Charleston, coming into Saturday's game, said "All in all I thought we played really well." The drive, which Coach Jerry Moore said, "set the tempo for the night offensively" for the Mountaineers, included 18 plays and six third down conversions before ending with a sevenyard touchdown connection between quarterback Bake Baker and wide reciever Joey Gibson which came on a third and goal. • To highlight some of the brightest spots, the Mountaineers were able to throw for 252 yards, despite the weather, run for 202 yards, pick up 23 first downs, record three sacks on Bulldog quarterback Stanley Myers, and force The Citadel to HOW THEY STAND Southern Conference records & stats through September 27 APPALACHIAN 1 • 1-0 In Southern Conf.

Two of the team's last three games were at home against Virginia Commonwealth and Davidson with the Ohio University contest being the lone road game of the three. The latest game for Appalachian came when Virginia Commonwealth made the trek to Boone this past Sunday. The game was a defensive stale between the two squads. VCU prevailed with a score of 2-1. Appalachian's lone goal came from Menkveld at the end of the first half. V i r g i n i a Commonwealth scored the deciding goal towards the end of the game. That goal proved to controversial, but it was not overturned. 'Those are the kind of games we're going to have," said Appalachian Coach Cathy Burleson., "We have to play 90 minutes of all out hockey." Thursday, Appalachian's played Davidson in a rescheduled match at KiddBrewer Stadium due to rain at Davidson a week earlier. The Mountaineers prevailed with an The Mountaineers were indeed sharp in the first half as they racked up 21 points and controlled the ball for almost 18 minutes. "We knew that if (the offense) kept the ball for a long time that the defense would be well and rested," said Gibson. When the Appalachian defense was forced to trot onto the field, they played well enough to ratde the Bulldogs from their game plan. The Mountaineers allowed The Citadel 62 yards on three first downs in the first half. For the game, they forced the Bulldogs to fumble four times, to go1-3 on fourth down conversions, and were in Myers' face almost as much as the rain was. The Mountaineers continued their dominance in the second by coming out with a six play, 71-yard scoring drive on their first possesion in which Baker ran the ball into the end-zone for his second touchdown of the season. On the day Baker was 16-24 with three touchdowns passing the ball. On the ground he picked up 12 yards and the touchdown but did a lot more running than the statistics give him credit for, as The Citadel defense forced Baker to scramble and make creative plays several times to avoid the sack. One such play occured early in the second quarter when Baker, out of options on third down with three Bulldogs closing in on him, lunged foward and sidearmed an ugly pass to Gibson in the front of the ;arios Horton Edwards.) end-zone for the Mountaineers second touchdown. "I just saw two white jersey's out there as I was falling and I just threw it in that direction and fortunately Joey made the catch," Baker said of the play. As for his unforeseen passing performance, Baker said "Coming into the game we had planned on throwing the ball and when it started raining we kind of thought they were going to expect us to run the ball a lot more so we felt like that might open up our passing game some... we just stuck with it and it worked." With the win, the Mountaineers aggressive playing style. Appalachian topped Davidson 3-1 in the Thursday afternoon match. Scorers for Appalachian were Kim Blackwell, Jodie Chrystal, and Menkveld, all with one goal. Heather Temple assisted Chrystal's goal. Katherine Pearson had five saves in goal for the Mount-aineers. The early aggressive play impressed Coach Burleson, but the team's lackadaisical play towards the end of the game was not thrilling. "We came out strong from the start, but we sat back the last 15 minutes," Burleson said. "The game became a boxing match when Ohio goalkeeper Michelle Hinnman charged Annemieke Menkveld & punched her in the face."

Reuter got the call. Reuter was contacted and told to fly to California to participate in the game synonymous with big money, big prizes and big smiles from Vanna White: Wheel of Fortune. He came home from this trip with $19,000 cash and a trip to Colorado. But this wasn't the most important aspect of his trip. "I went on the show to have fun," Reuter said. 'That was opportunity enough." Charlotte native Reuter auditioned for the show last March when Wheel of Fortune held an open casting call in his home town. "I thought, 'What the hell—I'll go home for the weekend, do some laun­ dry, see some friends and audition for Wheel of Fortune," he said. Reuter first auditioned in a large group and made the final cut of 24 potential contestants, he said. He and other hopefuls played mock rounds of Wheel of Fortune and took written tests. Reuter said he was also asked to tell a little about himself and thinks the fact that he is a fairly involved college student made him more appealing in the eyes of the game show staff. Reuter was called a week after his audition and was asked to be a con­ testant. However, he had to be willing to come to the studio when Wheel of Fortune called him—which could be months away—and provide his own transportation to and accommodations in Los An­ geles. Game show personnel called Reuter Aug. 27 and asked him to tape a show Sept. 12. With that, Reuter said he made plans for Cali­ fornia and the bright lights of the NBC studios. Wheel of Fortune allowed him to bring up to five guests; however, only his sister accompanied him to Los Angeles, he said. Scheduled to tape on Friday, Sept. 12, Reuter arrived in California a day early to see the sights of Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, he said. When the taping day arrived, Reuter was told to be at the studio at 9:30 a.m., although he didn't actually play the game until 1:30 p.m. "Wheel of Fortune tapes five shows, one week's worth, in one day," he said. Contestants were coached by Wheel of For­ Mason L. Reuter tune personnel to make the show run more smoothly. "We were told to speak loudly and to enunci­ ate, especially on letters (easily confused) like 'P' and 'B'," he said. Reuter had to wait several hours after arriving at the studio, but said this time didn't make him more nervous. "I was kind of nervous, but I don't - Senior Senior Mason L.

(photo by Steve Crise, Wheel of Fortune) see Wheel on page 2 Hear them roar: NOW state conference coming to Boone Special to The Appalachian Editor's note: Following is a guest col­ umn from Kirstie Fischer, an Appalachian State University senior and member of the campus chapter of the National Organization for Wo'men (NOW). An intense year of rape awareness, protest marches, media attention and grassroots organizing put Boone on the map in 1997 for having the largest na­ tional feminist organization. This will culminate this weekend, as the North Carolina chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) comes to Appalachian State University's campus this weekend to host the annual state NOW conference. Focusing on women's rights, civil rights, lesbian rights and reproductive rights, the conference will feature work­ shops by several world-renowned activ­ ists operating within the unifying theme, "Feminists Unite: Take Back the Right!" Open to anyone who supports women's issues, the conference begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m. on Saturday, and runs from 9 a.m. to noon on Sunday in Plemmons Student Union. For a cost of $10 with identification, students may register between 8:30 and 9 a.m. Saturday to attend any workshops and entertainment for the entire week­ end. The lineup features workshops fa­ cilitated by local teachers, students and alumni. International activist and Action Vice President of the national NOW chap­ ter, Rosemary Dempsey, will deliver the keynote address Saturday at 1:30 p.m. She will be joined by Mandy Carter, field di- rector for the National Black Lesbian and Gay Leadership Program. The workshop is open to all and will address tactics to combat the Promise Keepers, a national anti-woman, antichoice, anti-gay, right-wing group orga­ nized by the Christian Coalition. Dempsey organized Fight the Right Wing campaigns in Oregon, California, Washington and Maine. She plans to edu­ cate women's rights activists about the threat of the Promise Keepers and stress the importance of mobilizing diverse coa­ litions. Other highlights include workshops, panel discussions and brainstorming ses­ sions for building diversity and coalitions, press and media training, violence in the media, and North Carolina feminism to­ day. A variety of activists, including Ali­ cia Cole, Tanya Smith-Jackson and Robin Davis, president of N.C. NOW, will present these events. Of the weekend, Davis said, has one of the most active NOW chapters, at both the town and campus level. Their most recent work on sexual assault was extremely important, and this conference is one way of recognizing that. We're ex­ cited to meet where the action is." Organizers have included a balance of work and play, with Saturday's session culminating in a BYOB party from 7-11 p.m. in the Alpine Lounge. The party will feature the live enter­ tainment of two of Boone's women-ori­ ented bands, the Feminazis and Pink Col­ lar Jobs. Recent developments toward women's issues make both campus and lo­ cal activists feel the conference is happen­ ing at a convenient time. "Boone Area NOW has received Clancy Nolan, president of the ASU chapter of NOW, finalized plans for the conference at a meeting Tuesday, (photo by Casey Gabriel) national attention for its activist efforts, and we're looking forward to meeting with people (from) all over the state to learn strategies for dealing with right-wing movements that restrict tolerance and women's rights," said Eva Hyatt, faculty advisor to campus NOW. �Page 2 The Appalachian 25 < Harris Teeter Your Neighborhood Food Market Sale Starts Wednesday, Sept 24th Hunter All Natural Ice Cream dw w y i a g t&e V+Jtr VK Cardfad $crv* Hist 8 r : Harris Teeter |j Potato Chips : Wheel from page 2 get very nervous about anything," he said. "I was more anxious than nervous." Prior to taping, Reuter spent time with fellow contestants and said he met people of varying ages from across the nation.

'There were only about 100 people in the audience," he said.

Accuracy and Public Service since 1934 . Pay attention to intellectual stuff You know the continuing mentality of Appazhian students: there's nothing to do in Boone, ey say. Of course, every so often APPS may have peat concert like The Indigo Girls or some blockister movies showing in I.G. Greer over the weekd. However the general attitude is that the good iff happens out of the town limits. Regretfully, though, many students don't take U advantage of the intellectual climate of Appazhian State University While a lecture may not ipear to be the most exciting evening activity, idents may be surprised when they see what a de culture can do for them. For example, consider the opportunity arisg next Thursady, Oct. 2. White House journalist :len Thomas, a forerunner in the craft of politi1 reporting, will come to Farthing Auditorium deliver a lecture on her time serving United ess internation from the terms of John F. nnedy to Bill Clinton. The lecture begins at 8 m. and is free to the public. Many students may not know who Helen Tho- as is, but this is truly a great opportunity for all. lurnalism and history majors should be aching r a front row seat: here is a woman who grilled veral presidents and had access to information rfy available to a White House reporter. What a entor she could be. • Students who have no interest in journalism • history should attend also, just so they can say ey saw Thomas speak. Surely many people atnded the Indigo Girls' show just to say they saw national act—this is the same principal and ould truly be worth an evening sacrificed. Opportunity does not stop with lectures. The liversity also sponsors a Visiting Writers series at brings nationally and internationally known titers to the supposed nowhere town of Boone, 'riters Jan Karon, Jill McCorkle and Clifton lulbert have visited the Plemmons Student Union ready this semester. Sure, these people aren't jusehold names like Stephen King or Danielle eel, but they are major names in southern/reonal writing. Visiting Writer forums feature a lading or lecture from each author and most mally have a book signing or reception to folw. Most are well-advertised through news briefs i The Appalachian and through fliers posted TOSS campus. Literature readings are definitely different genre than dancing till dawn in a nightub, but this series is a way to break out of stagint nightly activities. The university also offers various forums each tnester—for example, the diversity series sponred by the Multicultural Center. A representa'c from the center called The Appalachian this sek wanting coverage of a panel discussion beuse she, thought students didn't know they ex:ed, and perhaps this is true. This series has held veral forums already this year, with topics rangg from men's issues to interracial relationships. These forums last approximately one and a ilf hours. Again, they are in another league when mpared to hanging out at a crowded party; but is is something different to do, something that uld lead to a topic for a speech, a research pa­ ir or just something to share with your children, ho knows? The college experience is all about a wide nge of activities, from studying and exams to Haying and football games. A little intellectual imulation should be thrown into that melting ot. Who knows? You just might learn some>ing—and maybe have fun doing so. 'Although you hit me hard, I come back.' - Jeremy Enigk Down on my knees in Suburbia What affect has growing up in the suburbs had on our generation? John Starling Opinion Editor Hi, I'm from suburbia. You know, that all too comfortable place held deep in the hearts of many Americans? That place of great sterility and mo­ notony where many of us come from? I'm a child of the mass-produced houses in selfcontained communities where everyone scrutinizes everything you do. I've seen neighbors come and go on a regular basis, while some stay as long as my family has. I was the only child my age in the imme­ diate vicinity, which happens to include the major road through the neighborhood. Heavy traffic kept me inside or in day-care for most of my childhood. I took on the persona of a mysterious recluse to the few friends that I managed to make at school, who wondered what the hell I was doing in that house all the time. I certainly wasn't playing with them. I ended up learning too much too soon at the expense of common sense. I live in a row of houses built on exactly the same floor-plan, an immaculate example of uniformity and blandness. There are few differences at all. Those that are present are a result of augmentation. Ev­ eryone has a flowerbed and a plethora of pine trees. Everyone has a tool-shed. Everyone smiles. Every­ one is happy. Or so it would seem. I know I wasn't. It's one of those things that's really difficult to pinpoint. If you've ever lived in a subdivision, you may know exactly what I'm talking about. If not, think of it this way. Suburbia is a lot like the ghetto. Not the present definition of "ghetto", but the older one where groups of the same nationali­ ties or races lived together in shel­ tered unity. Sub­ urbia just has a nicer image. Like a ghetto, the burbs often are racially, religiously, ethni­ cally and politi­ cally homog­ enous. It be­ comes comfort­ able' for like people to co-exist, inter-marry and re­ turn to the 'burbs' to rear their own kids. I know I'm the third generation, at least, from my family to grow up in suburbia. Make no mistake about it: it's easy to get trapped in the vicious cycle of suburban life. I think suburbia's relative youth in our society is why we haven't heard too many complaints about it yet. Suburbia is still a glowing image of perfection to most of the population. Not enough of us have come along who can say we've been genuinely scarred by it. The presence of American suburbs is a rela­ tively new phenomenon, starting with the legendary Levittown following World War II. We, as a society, have only had around 50 years to get acquainted with them. From talking to people around campus, I've dis­ covered that many of them come from a suburban background. Some have similar feelings to mine. Others wouldn't have come up any other way. It's all dependent on per­ spective, just like any­ thing else in life. Many of us are more than acquainted with the burbs'. Many of us don't like what we know. I can't help but think of a song by David Bowie when I think about this. It's one of the most pen­ etrating lines I've ever heard: "Down on my knees in suburbia/ Down on myself in every way." That's almost exactly how I feel about it. No matter what I've done, I'm always screwed. No matter how much I try to sepa­ rate myself from it, it always gets to me. I feel like I have no real experiences. Everything I know is the same stuff that everyone else knows. So what's the point? That's just what I'm beginning to figure out lately. That's the point of growing up. You learn what suits you and what you despise. You become an individual or you become one of the masses. Sure, it's a lot easier to go with the flow, but it's definitely not as much fun. "Many of us are more than acquainted with the burbs. Many of us don't like what we know." A penny for your thoughts... What do all those cliches really mean? Matt Bielejeski Columnist You know those happy little sayings that your grandmother has crocheted on little doilies hanging around her house? Yes, you know what I'm talking about. Those witty euphemisms that make you won­ der where in the hell they came from. It is now my job to guide you through some of these clever turns of phrase and explain more in-depth what they truly mean. Someone once said, 'There's no such thing as a free lunch." I think that they couldn't have been more right. Just when you think something is too good to be true, there's always a catch to it. Example: your biology professor says that he is more than willing to drop your lowest test grade if you come have dinner with him. No problem, you think, I can deal with this. The question is, can you deal with choking down liver and onions, not to mention pulling the weeds out of his garden and repaving his driveway? I didn't think so. Of course he conveniently left out that information when inviting your entire class. Beware of overly kind professors. Ah yes, the famous, "Never look a gift horse in the mouth" quote. You gotta love that one. Just the idea of some nag's crusty molars and poor dental hygiene is enough to make my stomach do a triple gainer with a half twist. Apparently it means don't look for faults in a free gift. I believe it goes back to the old days when you could determine the health of a horse by looking in its oral cavity and seeing if its wisdom teeth needed to be pulled. Or something like that. "Don't make a mountain out of molehill" is also a classic. I don't know about you, but I have never, in my short but fascinating existence, ever seen a mole, much less a molehill. I think that a molehill is where the mole makes its home and stockpiles the heroin stash for distribution to the smaller woodland drug dealers. The whole gist of this quote is not to make something bigger than it is. However, I think some guys like making their molehill seem like a mountain. Whatever While we're talking about the animal kingdom, how about, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush?" To quote Hank Hill, "What in the hell?" This quote encourages the nation's youth to try and hunt birds by hand, effectively crushing them to little more than a pulpy mess of feathers. It says, "if you have a bird in your hand that you can strangle for some per­ verse enjoyment, it is the equivalent of two more birds in the bush waiting for imminent birdicide." To end on a happy note, we can't forget the clas­ sic, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." I figured the road to hell was paved with hot tar and asphalt, considering it gets pretty dang toasty when heated. I thought that was the whole idea behind hell: the heat. Good intentions sound like they would be nice, cool ice cubes and air conditioners. I just wonder who came up with these things. Whoever it was needs to cut back on their daily con­ sumption of crack rock. No wonder the country is going to "hell in a handbasket."

However, a web of apathy and the bration of youth occasionally reaches and tangles a student into a college •; the trap of the ten year college ca• or the "Ten Year Club." An extended stay in college is not unusual occurance. The great ospher David Spade even tackles the ect in the movie Tommy Boy. "A lot of people go to college for en years," he says sarcastically, a/re called doctors." The Ten Year Club is a slang term describing the student who has prob5 leaving school in a timely fashion, period of time spent in college does have to be ten years, however. The usually encompasses all students reaing in college for more than six years btain their first degree. Reasons for delay seem to vary, rthing from changing majors to undeible grades have forced students to ad the "real world" for an extended iod of time. The overabuse of freens (staying out all night, excessive iking) also tend to add a few years. ;re are also the people who just do not it to leave. The majority of Appalachian stuits who have entered the Ten Year Club e the same attitude as David Spade. :y realize college can be what you make t. They just make a lot more of it than average student. Ray W. Hutchinson, a senior from ensboro, is one of these optimistic pie. Ray came to Appalachian in the Page 5 Campus Life fall of 1991. As he began college, he told his parents not to worry; four years and he was out. He had the best of intentions and his freshman year moved along at a normal pace. Then he hit his first snag. "My second year would have been a lot smoother," Hutchinson said, "if it hadn't been for my .67 gpa." Hutchinson attributes his first year of apathy to taking advantage of too many extra-curricular activities. Even though the dismal perfor­ mance of his first sophomore year pro­ longed his academic career, Hutchinson maintained a positive attitude. "It has taken me a little longer to graduate, but I try to not look at it as a negative thing. I really like Boone and I'll only be young enough to enjoy it once. I figure that ten years down the road, when I have an actual job, I will be glad that I had the extra time to spend in college," Hutchinson said. "Besides," he said, "I've been here long enough that I am just about to get my own parking space." Another member, who was not as proud as Hutchinson and did not want to be identified, said his extended college time was inevitable. "It takes a while to graduate when you avoid all morning and Friday classes." Boredom or laziness is usually not a characteristic of club members. Quite honestly, doing too much is a reason why many have gained membership. "Between clubs (school and dance) and partying, I began to spread myself too thin," said the aforementioned, unproud member. "Classes really began to get in the way." "I guess I really don't mind stay­ ing in college a little longer than most other students. I've never really had a problem with staying in Boone," he said. Even if students don't mind, there is one group that does tend to have The Career Student a problem with the students' extended stay: the administration. Over past years there have been several university poli­ cies focusing on students who do not ex­ emplify adequate college progress. Several examples are: a sur­ charge after an accumulation of 140 credit hours, limitation of financial aid benifits, possibility of making at least one session of summer school mandatory and a change in the number of hours considered to be a full-time student from 12 to 15. The actions of the administration do not seem to hinder most members of the Ten Year Club. They claim their mem­ bership is increasing. "I know plenty of people who have been here as long as I have," said Hutchinson, "and others who have been here only three years but are not close to graduating." For those wishing to join the Ten Year Club, the application process is rather easy. Just make sure to drop a couple classes, drink a little too often, and do not .under any circumstances, get enough sleep. Or, you could just join too many organizations. But to those who are looking for guidance, you will have to look to some­ one besides Hutchinson. The end of his long scholastic ca­ reer may come to an end soon. He intends Chad McAllister Staff Writer to do his stu­ dent teaching in the spring and gradu­ ate in May. When that day comes, he will have no regrets. With the true spirit of the Ten Year Club, he has only one thing to say about graduation: "When it takes you several years longer to leave school, the graduation party is just that much better." jive a helping hand to other nations on native soil nities that sur­ round Appala­ chian State University. imee Yawn taff Writer Picture in your lind a little boy sitng alone.

The Russian packed his men up in a plastic baggie and folded up the battlefield. It had been a good night for him. The American, though defeated, left with the consolation that he could come back next week at the same time and try again. The scene of the battle was the weekly chess club meeting held in Tradewinds coffee shop last Tuesday night. The "commanders" were Denis T. GrigcJriev, a graduate student from Moscow in the Russiaq Republic, and Steve F. Tysinger, a sophomore from Wilmington. Although they didn't wear uni­ forms, aside from the sticker Grigoriev wore that read "Hello my name is Denis," it would have been difficult to tell that it was only a chess game from the intensity on their faces as they tried to wipe each other out. Grigoriev said, 'The prevailing el­ ement of chess is fighting." That's part of what makes the game of chess so enjoy­ able for him, he said. For most Appalachian State Uni­ versity students chess is a game reserved in their minds either as a game for nerds or as a game so complicated, they only sit down to play when they really want to give someone the impression of having some smarts. Very few have probably ers. "Working with SAF is a great way to take part in your community," said sophomore Kris A. Adams, a fine arts ma­ jor from Raleigh. "You don't have to be a third-world studies major to do this." The group originated in Durham, in 1992 as a non-profit organization in­ volving a service-learning class about farmworker issues and a ten-week sum­ mer internship program with various farmworker agencies in the area. It has grown to incorporate ten regional colleges and universities. Some students hope Appalachian will be formally included among that num­ ber soon with a charter organization. Student Campus Coordinator Myah K. Cook, a senior anthropology major from Greensboro, said she would like to see a group form at Appalachian to coordinate events and create awareness about the lives of farmworkers. "It is hard to carry op the work of SAF with the minimal support we have here. We want to create a charter on cam­ pus to help get the word ouf about SAF," for children of migrant workers.

But Grigoriev and Tysinger did. Tysinger is rated as an ex­ pert by the United States Chess Federa­ tion (USCF). He said his love for the game "must be genetic" be­ cause his father and grandfather played. Tysinger began learning the game at the age of six. Soon, he started com­ peting, and after match after tense match he gained his rat­ Denis Gregoriev and Steve Tysinger battle it out in Tradewinds during the weekly Chess Club ing at the expert meeting (photo by Richard Thomas) level. When he returned to school this year he was happy attending the meetings.

He was even more excited you can expect to find between 12 and see page 6 to find a player the caliber of Grigoriev 20 humans every Tuesday night in Chess �5 and 7:30 p.m. Tysinger said there are hundreds of people involved at the competitive level across the state. The state championship is October 26. He plans to take Gregoriev to 3 tournament soon so he can get a USCF rating. After Gregoriev beat him in their final match Tuesday night, Tysinger said that .although Gregoriev doesn't have a rating in America, he is already good enough to be an expert. That might be because in Russia chess is considered more than just a nerdy passtime. It is an obsession. Gregoriev said chess is a long established tradition in his homeland. "The Party (Communist) stimulated chess. To them, it was a symbol of our intellectual supe­ riority to the rest of the world," he said. There are even chess schools in Russia. Gregoriev at­ tended one in Moscow between the ages of 12 and 17. Gregoriev said his love for chess began with his father. "He was a great fan of chess. But he IN MANY COMPANIES IT TAKES YEARS TO PROVE YOU'RE MANAGEMENT MATERIAL. WE'LL GIVE YOU 10 WEEKS Ten weeks may not seem like much time to prove you're ca­ pable ot being a leader.

Gregoriev said that the first year he started playing his father would beat him every time. But Gregoriev read a lot. Then one day he said that the books "made a transition in my head." He started beating his fa­ ther every time. Among the chess players at Appalachian, Gregoriev has re­ ceived a lot of attention. Usually there are several people watching him, especially when he plays Tysinger. When Gregoriev won Tuesday night he explained how he won. If he loses, Gregoriev said he will tell his opponent, "Thank you for the lesson." But he doesn't lose very often unless he is matched up against someone very good, like Tysinger. "Americans are prone to attack too quickly. Russians are better strategists," Gregoriev said. Strategy is what the game is all about. It's what makes it so intense. Gregoriev said people get very nervous while playing. "We used to call it an ill­ ness. You shake. After you play you need about five minutes of rest," he said. He said he used to have a lot of that. But now he is usually very calm. Gregoriev said for those interested in beginning or in im­ proving their game, "to play chess well you're supposed to read better than ab0ut(to ! books." lar P°Pulatio ? n It's good to play, he said, S1° eompetitioB« ' but to develop the understanding 5 of the game that is so important he said.

"It was a lot easier, because we knew how to play together," he said. Howard University, one of Clemson's top rivals at the time, also carried a handfull of former Nigerian players. "At that time, Clemson I think was an all international player team, and Howard was the same," he said. "Playing against each other was an experience," added Popoola, "it was always a great match." Following his days as a Tiger, Popoola began playing soccer professionally in the United States. His pro career began during a nation-wide swell of the sport's popularity. This boom, sparked by the large number of international players in the NASL, was highlighted by A concerned Popoola walks the sidelinesduring the Georgia one of Popoola's old adversaries.

"We played some of our best volleyball in this match," said Appalachian Coach Dave Markland. In the victory, Stephanie Young had 13 kills and a hitting percentage of .346. "She hit the ball very vfell." Jennifer Rumfeldt had 12 kills and 10 digs for the Mountaineers. Markland said, "Rumfeldt played a good all-around game." Appalachian also served the ball well, with nine service aces. "We passed the ball very well and we haven't been doing that very well." The match was the opener in the UNC-Charlotte Volleyball Tournament this weekend. Later that day, Appalachian fell to Coastal Carolina 3-0. It marked the second time Appalachian has played the Chandeliers, and the second time they have lost to them 3-0. Young led the Mountaineers in the losing effort by continuing her excellent play with 12 kills. Sunday, Appalachian lost 3-0 to Big Ten power and top 20 mainstay Minnesota, dropping their record to 7-6. "We weren't scared, we played hard, but were never in the match," commented Markland. "Fatigue was not a factor in the weekend losses, the competition was," Markland said. The goal for the volleyball team still remains a Southern Conference crown. "There is no clear favorite to win the conference," Markland said. "We need to improve our passing and continue hitting well." VS.

They have only lost twice in their past 14 conference openers. Ironically, those two losses came at the hands of The Citadel in 1989 and 1993. Jerry Moore is 4-4 against the Bulldogs in his career; but only one win at The Citadel. The Bulldogs are coached by Don Powers, a former Catamount player. Powers is in his second season at The Citadel and lost his only game against Appalachian last year. Keys to the game will be the play of seniors Bake Baker and Gerard Hardy. Last week, Hardy rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown while Baker was 12 of 22 passing for 154 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver Joey Gibson caught five passes for 70 yards against Eastern Kentucky and has 16 catches for 184 yards on the year. Last year against the Bulldogs, Appalachian only had 50 yards passing. Baker is averaging nearly 200 yards passing per game this season. Another key to the game will be the play of freshman wide receiver Daryl Skinner. Last week's efforts earned Skinner Southern Conference Freshman of the Week Honors. Skinner touched the ball twice last week and scored two touchdowns. One was on a reverse and the other was an amazing one-armed grab in the back of the end zone. 3. Western Kentucky C A T H E R I N E 4. Villanova 5. Northern Arizon J. S M I T H 6.

The upgrade will take place over fall break, Oct. 9-10, described as "the opti­ mum time to keep it from being a prob­ lem for...students," said Assistant Regis­ trar and SIS Coordinator Don R. Rankins. When shut down Oct. 7, the system will be revamped to SIS "Plus" to allow administrative users more direct access to student information. The upgrade will "consolidate sub­ systems and improve the functionality (of the old system)," said Rankins. Upgrading will enhance aspects of the current SIS. "(The SIS upgrade is simi­ lar to) upgrading from DOS to Windows," Rankins said. "It is the next logical step to getting (the) system (updated)." System improvements include class­ room management options, enhanced records information, expanded course and registration controls, improved class lists, on-line placement scores, and schedule in­ formation, Rankins said.

A system-to-system migration of aca­ demic records from 1985-88 began Sept.12, Rankins said. A migration of all current student information also took place. The migra­ tion of student records involves moving transcript information, GPA and current status., said Rankins. The migration and proofreading of a quarter of a million records will be the most difficult part of the system upgrade, said Rankins. During the upgrade process, the uni­ versity will provide extra staff in affected university departments to answer ques­ tions and access information while com­ puters are inaccessible. All university offices will be affected in terms of updating information, said of­ fice of the registrar representative Diane F. Beach.

Mountaineers top EKU 27-23 It may seem crowded to some, but Appalachian State University's final fall en­ rollment is only 1.7 percent higher than 1996 figures and 0.4 percent above ex­ pected numbers, said Director of Institu­ tional Research & Planning Bobby Sharp. Measurements taken as of Sept. 12 show Appalachian's total headcount at 12,108 students. This number includes new students admitted in 1997, continuing students and students readmitted this semester after a leave of absence, Sharp said. These figures show an increase over last year's, but indicate a small overall growth rate, Sharp said. Enrollment in 1995 totaled 12,020. Figures declined last year with 11,909 to­ tal enrollment and rose again this semes­ ter. Figures fluctuate yearly but eventu­ ally round out, said Sharp. "That's (1997) only about 90 above where we were two years ago,"Sharp said. "(The university) is trying to grow be­ tween 50 and 100 students per year." 'That's the growth plan for this de­ cade, and possibly (also) for the next one," Sharp said. "We're trying to grow at a very, very small rate." The university's total full time equivalent (FTE) is 11,576, a difference of 2.1 percent over 1996 and 1.3 percent as compared to expected results, Sharp said. Sharp described FTE as a means of "converting people into equivalencies as though all were full time (students)." For example, since students are con­ sidered full-time if they carry a course load of 12 or more hours, a part-time student with three course hours would be deemed 4/12, or 0.25, FTE, Sharp said. The University of North Carolina al­ locates funds based on FTE numbers, said Sharp. Tuition-free students, such as univer­ sity and/or state employees, are exempt from the FTE count, Sharp said. Enrollment figures are projected two years in advance using a statistical model, Sharp said. Projections are made this way be­ cause schools are funded biannually. Sharp said this time frame can make pro­ jections harder to do because certain fig- see Enrollment on page 2 Line shortage may mean busy signals in ACUS Katie Ward Staff Writer Due to a lack of available phone lines, Appalachian State University stu­ dents may have problems placing long­ distance calls between the prime-time hours of 9 and 11:30 p.m., according to a department of housing spokesperson. Director of Housing Brad Reid said numerous dormitory residents have com­ plained of receiving unexpected busy sig­ nals when trying to dial long-distance numbers via the campus service, AT&T's ACUS system. The ACUS system allows students to dial long-distance numbers by enter­ ing an individual access code, Reid said. However, problems within the sys­ tem release a busy signal before the code can be entered. There are approximatly 1800 avail­ able lines, Reid said. This number can­ not accommodate the estimated 2,000 stu­ dents who wish to use them during this time frame, he said. In order to correct the problem, Reid said AT&T is planning to install a T-1 line, which will increase the capacity of the sys­ tem and hopefully accommodate excess users. We are keeping our fingers crossed and hope that is what is causing the problem," Reid said. Reid encourages students to re­ port their problems in order to have them documented and analyzed further. If a problem is experienced, stu­ dents need to contact Glenda Wheeler in the Department of Residence Life at 2622278 and be prepared to answer a series of questions. Questions may include the number dialed, the time of the call and how long see ACUS on page 2 After trying several times to dial out with the ACUS service Megan O'Malley, a freshman resident of East Hall, resorted to the pay phone to make a call.

Watts said this is a common misconception and simply is not true. Fall enrollment figures indi­ cate a slower growth than that perceived by the university com­ munity, he said. Watts reemphasized Sharp's statement that Appa­ lachian State has tried to maintain a slow, yet stable growth rate of 50-100 stu­ dents per year. "We could be a lot big­ ger than we are, but we've chosen to grow this way," he said. "We actually haven't ~™~ grown that much." Growth has also been based on what the town of Boone can handle, Watts said. Also, any growth is a com­ promise to continuing trends in higher education, he said. "We (the university) have a responsibility to educate more of our population," he said. "The fact that we're growing is responsive to that (responsibil­ ity)," he said. Yesterday, students i na .

"We hope students are not just tolerating problems without reporting them," Reid said. This is the first time a prob­ lem of this sort has been experi­ enced, but there were similar system difficulties last year, Reid said. Parents could not get through to campus during cer­ tain times of the day, and some students had difficulty making local calls. Bell South installed NAR lines to eliminate this problem, said Reid. A number of states also changed their area codes with­ out reporting the change. As a result, some students may have trouble calling out of state, especially if they are un­ aware of the change. "Unless someone reports the change in area codes, the AT&T system will not recognize the problem," Reid said. Suzonna Schlenk, a fresh­ man from Asheville, said she has been affected by problems within the ACUS system and, as a fresh­ man, was unsure of how to handle problems she encoun­ tered. "I did not know what to do or even how to call long distance (when I first got here)," Schlenk said. "After I got the busy signal, I called the ACUS 800 number and they said it would take seven to eight minutes before someone could help me," she said. To avoid problems, some students* like freshman Jason Kovalcin of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., resort to other long-distance call­ ing means, "I did not want to deal with the code and trying to get through, so I use my own calling card," said Kovalcin.

All changes to records will be noted by operators. However, changes will not be implemented and computerized until after SIS Plus is installed, she said. For example, students who call the phone registration system to drop a class during the Oct. 715 time frame will have their calls rereouted to the registrar's office, Beach said. Students will speak to an op­ erator, who will document the in­ formation as record until it can be updated within the new computer system, said Beach.

Saliers said that their environmen­ tal and humanitarian work has kept them humble. "We live in a fantasy world. This isn't reality," Saliers said. So, why do they do it all? Saliers said, "We seek justice." The Indigo Girls said that they havn't gotten involved with their specific causes because of their individual back­ grounds, because of their "human back­ ground," Saliers said. "We're just Southern," Ray said. Where do their songs come from? "We just write what we feel," Ray said. She said that they don't think of themselves as poets. Poets or not, the Indigo Girls showed Appalachian last Friday that they are more than just musicians. If nothing else, they are activists and humanitarians. They are women with a heart and a love for the human race and the world we live on. And they will fight anyone who shirks in their responsibility to live with respect for others and for the Earth.

At that time, John Kimball, Dr. Kimball's brother, was working as a gradu­ ate student in Allen's lab, using the AFM to study silicon dioxide, the stuff of microchips. Knowing that flint is primarily silicon dioxide and that the AFM afforded unsur­ passed sensitivity, Dr. Kimballl saw a unique opportunity to study the polishes on flint tools. Schlichting, then an un­ dergraduate working with Allen, was drawn to the project by its novelty. "It was something differ­ ent that was related to physics," says Schlichting. He explains that he was particularly intrigued by the "aspect of putting the physics and the anthropology together." In principle, an AFM gath­ ers information about the surface of a specimen in much the same way as a sight-impaired person reads by running a finger over the bumps in a Braille text. The typical AFM consists of a tiny silicon nitride tip on the end of a hair-like silicon append­ age called a cantilever. (In Allen's AFM, the cantilever is roughly 50 millionths of a meter long, and the tip is between 40 and 100 billionths of a meter across.) The tip sweeps slowly across the surface of a specimen and is deflected whenever it runs into a bump or irregularity. Such deflections are detected by shining a laser off of the gold-plated cantilever and into Schlichting and his microscope (photo by Richard Thomas) an ensemblage of photodiodes, the output of which is fed into a com­ puter. When the computer senses a deflection it quickly moves to counteract it, raising or lowering the tip so as to relieve the stresses on the cantilever. By recording the minute electrical signals it sends to the devices that move the tip the computer maps out the features of the surface. The images that Schlichting has produced look like pictures of the craggy surface of Mars. Each is a three-dimensional relief map of a square patch of polished flint measuring 15 mil­ lionths of a meter along each side. Schlichting uses various statistical methods to quantify the roughness of images. He compares the num­ bers for the different polishes and tries to detect definite patterns. The results are promising. Schlichting has shown that flint worked with antler, plant, wood, or ochred hide is quantitatively smoother than unworked flint. In contrast, flint worked with meat of dry hide is about as rough as unworked flint. These findings suggest that the polishes can be separated into two classes, those generated by cutting meat and dry hide, and those generated by cut­ ting other materials. Still, the work is far from complete. Allen and Kimball hope to find a way to distinguish be­ tween polishes within each class. Moreover, they would like to study the mechanisms by which the flint is modified as it is worked. Allen said, "Ultimately that's what we want—to find out how these polishes form." Unfortunately for Allen and Kimball, they won't have Schlichting's help as the project continues. Having defended his master's thesis on the 5th of Sep­ tember, the 19 year denizen of the High Country and holder of both a B.A. and an M.S. from Appala­ chian State is leaving for the Navy's Officer Candidate School at Pensacola, Florida. There he will begin the Nuclear Propulsion Of­ ficer Candidate program.

From that point, Eastern Kentucky went on to score another touchdown off the strength of a Bob Washington fumble recovery in the endzone. With the fumble the Colonels captured the lead for the first and last time at 14-7. The third quarter saw the Mountaineers start a 96yard scoring drive that started at their own four yard line and culminated with a five yard touchdown by Hardy with 14.55 left in the game. It was during this drive that Hardy compiled 78 of his total yards. "I think that (the 96-yard drive) was a momentum swinger for them and us." said Appalachian head coach Jerry Moore. The Colonels again answered with a touchdown when Fuentes hit Rondel Menendez with a 57 yard touchdown "It wasn't a great route, it was just a good route," said Moore of the play. "It was a good throw." With the win, the Mountaineer's record improves to 1-1. Appalachian will travel to Charleston next week to take on The Citadel, who lost to Western Carolina this weekend 45-25 in Cullowhee. Game time is set for 7:00 p.m. Women's soccer picks up big victory against Georgia Southern David Jackson Staff Writer Over the weekend, the Appalachian State University women's soccer team took two very big steps towards becoming a team to reckon with in the Southern Conference race. The Mountaineers downed then undefeated Georgia Southern University 2-1 Friday night in come from behind fashion. Down 1-0 at the half, head coach Ben Popoola changed the Appalachian offensive attack, and attack they did. Freshman forward Christine Monica knotted the score at 1-1, as she found the back of the net off a free kick at the 65:00 mark. The goal was the first of Monica's career, and the third goal of the season scored by a newcomer. Fourteen minutes later, junior Allison Osborne netted the game-winning goal as she danced around two Eagle defenders, then placed a shot just wide of Georgia Southern goalie Marry Perry. "We decided at the half to send the ball up to their front more often, and that was a change that proved well for us," Popoola said. The Eagles did not go away quietly. With less than two minutes remaining in regulation, junior midfielder Vanessa Vickery chipped a shot that Appalachian goalie Lauren Hutchinson managed to deflect over the crossbar to keep the Eagles out of the net. "The win was a big one for us," Popoola said. "We were down early, then we came right back. I was real proud of the way the team played. That is a sign of a good team." After knocking off the Eagles, who were tied for first place in the Southern Conference heading into the match, the Mountaineers set their sights on a battle with defending league champion, Davidson. Despite a 0-4-1 record coming into the match, the Wildcats are still picked by many to be a major player in the Southern Conference stretch run. After 120 minutes of play, neither team could push the ball into pay dirt, leaving the match at a 0-0 tie. Both Appalachian and Davidson had golden opportunities to score before the end of regulation. With 3:18 remaining on the clock, sophomore forward Ashton Robinson sprinted ahead on a breakaway, only to have her shot ricochet off the leg of Wildcat goalkeeper Allison Noznesky. Freshman Linda Men's soccer team drops 1-0 game to Furman The Mountaineers became the first team to defeat Georgia Southern (photo by Melissa Henao -Roblelo) Nilsson chased down the deflected ball, then skimmed the ball over the top of the crossbar. Davidson's chance came less than one minute later as forward Ginny Dye launched a shot that passed just wide of the Mountaineer goal, setting the stage for overtime. Both teams again had a solid chance in the overtime periods, but could not capitalize. Noznesky, 1996 Southern Conference Playerof-the-Year, finished the match with Volleyball Staff Writer The Appalachian Men's soccer team fell to 1-4-1 on the season with a 1-0 loss to Furman Wednesday at Kidd Brewer Stadium. In their first Southern Conference match of the season, the Mountaineers stayed tied with Furman for the majority of the game. Maintaining a competitive offensive attack in the first half, Appalachian seldom crossed into Furman territory in period two. The Palladins outshot the Mountaineers 8-2 in the second portion of the game. The deciding factor in Furman's victory came in the form of cornerkicks. Virtually magnetized to Appalachian's goal, Furman posted eight corner kicks to Appalachian's one. Allowing only one score in nine attempts, Appalachian goalkeeper Eric Gibney said that there was "not much you can do" in a comerkickladen situation. Furman's height and deep throws in the back played a key role as well, Gibney added. T h e Mountaineers will be the visiting team in their next five contests, not returning to home astroturf until Oct. 17. Despite the adverse road ahead, Head Coach Art Rex remains optimistic about this season. "We have some tough ACC competition coming up. I think in the long run it will make us a better team," Rex said. "[Our players] tend to rise to competition." "We have some tough ACC competition coming up. I think in the long run it will make us a better team... our players tend to rise to competition." - ASU Soccer Coach Art Rex With 5:14 left in the contest, the Palladins found a hole in the Mountaineer defense. Furman's Pete Santora connected off a Todd Jackson pass to make the score 1-0. THE COLD WEATHER BRRRKENSTOCK in some key situati.

Senior Neil Middlesworth is in­ volved in a lawsuit with Property Services, Inc. (PSI) seeking rent recoupment and other reimbursement for damages sus­ tained from roof damage in a unit of Brookwood Apartments of Boone. PSI, a major apartment leasing ser­ vice housing a large percentage of uni­ versity students, owns and maintains the complex. Middlesworth sought money for a table damaged by the alleged leak and for rent recoupment of $80 per month. Under rent recoupment law, Middlesworth said he had to prove that he had paid his rent on time, that PSI maintenance crews were paid through his rent, that maintenance crews did not re­ spond in a timely manner to his repair request and that he had lost use of a cer­ tain amount of living space when rain­ water leaked through his roof. The case was not proven in small claims court, and Middlesworth was awarded only $300 for damages to his table. At this point, Middlesworth said he was willing to let the case drop. "If (PSI) was going to pay the $300,1 would have let it rest," he said. "But they appealed it and it went into arbitration." Once in arbitration, both sides of the case were heard by an arbitrator, Middlesworth said. The arbitrator felt Middlesworth had sufficiently proven need for rent re­ coupment and awarded him $800 plus $150 for damages to the table. Middlesworth said the roof first be­ came an issue during his first week of oc­ cupancy in the apartment in August 1996. Middlesworth said Boone experi­ enced heavy rains that day, and he said he came to his apartment to find water pouring in through a windowsill. Appointed in August, Gail Hearn (right) began her duties as Chancellor Borkowski's executive assistant this semester. In this position, Hearn will work largely as a transmitter of information between ASU and Town of Boone officials, (photo by Amelia Mann) The water came from a leak in the tial Rental Agreement Act.

Hearn of Blowing Rock was recently appointed as the new executive assistant to Appalachian State University Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski. Hearn will serve as a connection between ASU and the Town of Boone. She will meet with the Chamber of Commerce and government officials regularly. "I will also work with major donors and board of trustee members and coor­ dinate conferences for the chancellor," said Hearn. In the executive assistant's position, also Hearn serves the university by com­ municating with the state Department of Transportation to solve campus traffic problems. Hearn, a former campaign re­ searcher and coordinating member of the Florida State Congress, supervised U.S. Congressman Andy Ireland's 10th District office in Florida. She also served as executive direc­ tor of the Manatee Community College Foundation in Bradenton, Fla. Hearn received her bachelor's de­ gree from the University of North Caro­ lina and has been extensively involved in "An Appalachian Summer," a summerlong cultural events program. Heam's appointment is for one aca­ demic year, but at the end of her term she. will have the option for contract renewal. Heam said she hopes to continue her work for the chancellor and is happy to have this position in the university. "I am ex­ tremely impressed with the students and faculty (at Appalachian)," she said. "I enjoy interacting with the stu­ dents here (because) they are fantastic," she said. Heam was preceded by Bob Snead, who held the executive assistant position for 40 years.

Leslie Hitchcock Staff Writer With the addition of newly elected student senators, the Student Government Associa­ tion (SGA) commenced its new term Tuesday evening. Keynote speaker, Vice Chancellor Dr. Gregory Blimling addressed the senate on the sat­ isfaction rating of Appalachian State University. He noted that even though students are satisfied with the university, "there are places to improve, and this year (the ad­ ministration is) going to work on those areas." The issues of improvement included the homecoming parade, the centennial celebration, a 5 per­ cent increase in student fees, the student life task force and budget concerns. Blimling also addressed vari­ ous questions from the senate in a 15-minute session. Concerns voiced included construction, future parking situ­ ations, a new library, enrollment expansion, the use of equity funds and future computer labs. Funding for a new library is "at the top of (the administration's) list (for 97-98)," said Blimling. He said, "Adding more onto what we have is not the answer."

Mascots from around the country make Appalachian*s mascot look tame • Matt Bielejeski Columnist ~ Occasionally, I hear people on campus cracking on our mascot. Usually something like, "How in the hell did we get some bearded hillbilly to represent Appalachian State?" Well, I'm no rocket scientist, but considering he's a mountaineer and we live in the mountains, I think there's some sort of connec­ tion. Apparently, his name is Yosef. Where that name came from is anybody's guess. I would have chosen a classic mountain-type person name like Billy, Jim Bob, Bo or Cletus. Then again, that's probably why the administration didn't ask my opinion on the sub­ ject. To prove a point to the naysayers of our fair bearded hillbilly, there are institutions of higher learning that do have us beat as far as names go. Trust me. •The Battling Bishops- Ohio Wesleyan University •The Fighting Missionaries- Whitman College How in hell (or heaven in this case) did mem­ bers of the clergy get picked for school mascots? Okay, maybe it has something to do with religion. But turning symbols of the priesthood into partici­ .I t tl. • r>' * . • _ * I * ** f»L _ J. pants in the Ultimate Fighting Championship? That's a bit too fan •The Student Princes- Heidelberg College Gee, does this school have an ego problem or what? Apparently every student thinks they're roy­ alty—at least until they figure out that just because you're noble doesn't mean you can grease the professor's palm. •The Running Rifles- University of South CarolinaSpartanburg Wow, the NRA really gave a lot of money to this school. But what does a rifle have to run from? •The Banana Slugs- University of California-Santa Cruz Of course. The rifles can run from the killer ba­ nana slugs on a rampage across the city. Kinda sounds like something Godzilla had to fight in a bad Japa­ nese B-movie. •The Blue Hens- University of Delaware •The Geoducks-Evergreen State While we're talking about mutant animals, how about some poultry? Delaware really likes the Smurfs, so they adapted Smurf color to their hens. Clever. Really clever. And the Geoducks? Evergreen State must be pioneering the field of pheasant homi­ cide- determining the best types of rocks to throw at innocent birds •The Poets- Whittier College •The Professors- Rowan College Whooooo-boy. These are two schools that strike fear in my heart. Oh no, they might start quoting -- - _ _ a •• « i Walt Whitman at. me before I frh I tackle them. As I go to dunk, they'll send me to time-out. Please. •The Muleriders- Southern Arkansas University Yee-haw! Come on, John, let's go rope us some mules and ride off into the sunset! Southern Arkan­ sas is hosting the first annual Mule Rodeo later this year •The Lord Jeffs- Amherst College Here comes nobility again. If your name is Jeff and you go to this school, you're treated like a Lord. I'm going to call my congressman and protest, by God! •The Turtles- College of Insurance When I think of insurance, pretty much the last thing I think of is turtles (the last thing is ice cream sundaes). I think I missed the correlation here. Turtles? Insurance? Anyone? Bueller? •The Moundbuilders- Southwestern College What? They're building mounds? Are these burial mounds of their vanquished enemies? Maybe I should be scared of these guys. •The Claim Jumpers- Columbia College Now wait a minute. Shouldn't the Claim Jump­ ers be the mascot for the College of Insurance? Send the turtles to Charleston. And last but not least, my personal fave: •The Nads- Rhode Island School ot Design How can you go wrong with a school named for a body organ? Answer: you can't. Okay, everybody cheer. Left side says, "Go!" Right side says, "Nads!" Ready? Go!

But wait, some taxes pay for scien­ tific research, and we all know how much fun that is. Science gives us incredible facts that most of us knew about anyway, like research proving second­ hand smoke is dangerous. Yes, that's right, and sec­ ond-hand venerea] diseases are too. But even though science may waste a lot of money on things like, well I don't know, making the same goat twice, they give us interesting trivia. Contemplate the following: 1. The moon is slowly drifting away. 2. Everything causes cancer. 3. My great, great, great, great grandfather had con­ siderable grooming skills and a tail. 4. When a mouse is injected with two gallons of hero­ ine, it promptly dies. 5. No really, everything causes cancer. 6. Your appendix does little or nothing. 7. There is nothing good in space. That's right, if you've ever done it, thought about doing it, or seen somebody else doing it, you are one step closer to cancer. If it was fun, it was even worse. Things that taste good are also bad for you. Thank you science. Things that feel good are also bad. Sci­ ence told us that sex was not about love but a chance to contract a disease. Science seems to be the art of pointing out things that are dangerous, or in the event there are none, making them. News flash, life is dan­ gerous. Yes, science replaced our sticks with sharper sticks, and then guns. Well, I for one was quite happy with my sharpened stick. It was simple, it got the job done, and no stick permit was required. "And now from the same people who brought you the lava lamp: nuclear warfare. It's fun, safe, easy and even the kids can't re­ sist nuclear fall­ out!" The prob­ lem with science is that it never gets anywhere. It ignores people and concen­ trates on objects. When it is forced to deal with people, they become objects. Science never improves society. It is the art of finding new questions. I keep hearing this crap about how the Internet will create a global community. Wow, information at everyone's fingertips? Try a global community of porn. How about a generation of kids who never got around to developing social skills? Now you can cut off people you don't like talking to. Enjoy a 3-D virtual version of the real world. Experiencing it first hand is just too dangerous these days. Enjoy the world from the relative safety of your own home. A world of smut where psychopaths can speak with your children. Been needing the Anarchists' Cookbook? Download a copy. It's just that easy. It only costs a couple thou­ sand dollars to get started. Yes, there is useful information on the Internet, but there's been useful informa­ tion in libraries for years. When televi­ sion first came out everyone said that it could be used to educate and improve the world. But the Discovery Channel just isn't that popu­ lar. People don't care about learning. People like entertainment, and sci­ ence is the mighty provider. People made bombs that can destroy the world. People made diseases that can kill everyone over night. Man-made diseases, and man-made bombs. The most incredible things science ever made were "The problem with science is that it never gets anywhere. It ignores people and con­ centrates on objects." see Science page 4 Campus Perspectives Question: What do you think Yosef is?

Any singular member of any organization inevitably attributes the moral righteousness of the whole to themself merely because they belong to that group. Conse­ quently, the individual also mistak­ enly deems any adverse response to their own faults as prejudice toward the whole. Since there exists no prereq­ uisite in regards to moral fiber when joining such an organiza­ tion, individuals cannot base their righteousness on the single fact that they belong to that organiza­ tion.

Your friends pass by in uproaris laughter and a couple even splash you di their paddles. These are the trials and tribularjis of canoeing one of the many great ®rs of North Carolina and surrounding lies. I had the oppurtunity to canoe the »jv River recently on a two-hour trek that roved to be exhilarating while at the joie time, frustrating. The outfitting company that I se was Rivercamp USA in Piney Creek. After sitting on the porch of their Ire for 15 or more minutes one of their :f members loaded us onto a van with ither group. The van took us to our rop-off point. After one van change and fifteen linutes of a very disturbing ride, due to ie mere fact that we thought the van's ^ de would snap in two, we reached our stination. I looked at the river that awaited ^ iy challenge. All the while, going through iy head was the thought, "Man, this is aing to be great.

I paddled on y left and the person up front stroked to r right. For the first couple of meters we ided straight down the middle of the ew River. I thought to myself, "this is >ing to be a breeze."

The two of us, still holding onto the side of the canoe were forced to jog down the river and across the rocky river floor, barefoot. The other per­ son was left standing, holding one the paddles. Mostly out of panic, she threw her paddle in the river towards us and we watched it float by some 20 yards away from us. She refused to move without her shoes. I walked a few meters back in order to throw the shoes to her. We waited back at the ca­ noe in a calmer area of the river, as the third person walked to the shore to put her shoes on. She rejoined us in the canoe and we continued our venture down the river. By this time, all three of us were worn out, and it seemed liked this trip would never end. Accompanying our sore shoul­ ders were numerous cuts on our feet. All together, I had nine, one nearly footlength. As we reached our stopping point, we guided our canoe to the side of the river, pulled out and emptied it of all its water. The river was a little shallow, which provided many oppurtunities to get stuck. It also provided some great canoe­ ing along with it's many challenges. The whole experience was exhausting, but it was well worth it. Though this was not my first time canoeing I would definitely do it again. There are several places in Boone or in the surrounding areas that offer ca­ noe trips as well as other exciting activi­ ties. Rivercamp USA, which is the out­ fitter we chose, is in Piney Creek and has several different trip offers. For a 2 to 2 1/2 hour trip it would cost $18 per canoe. A 3 1/2 to 4 hour trek would cost $25 per canoe, while a 51/2 hour trip costs $30 a canoe. If one would choose an overnight trek it would cost between $50 and $60. They also offer group discounts.

Remember, when you're out on the river be safe and always wear a life preserver and don't stand up in the canoe. In addition, keep our rivers clean. If you have any trash you brought into the canoe don't throw it into the water. Wait until you're out of the canoe to throw the trash in it's proper receptacle. Communication is more than lip service Ask Uncle Sigmund Dr. Demise Glassman Guest Columnist Counseling Center How often do we communicate about commu­ nication? It seems as if we give the issue a lot of lip service, but do we actually communicate with each other? Do we actually say what we mean? Do we really listen? Relationships, including those shared between family, friends and lov­ ers, all require communication. In or­ der to know what another person is thinking, feeling or needing, we need to express ourselves. We need to talk but also to be heard. This type of interaction re­ quires us to actually be working to­ gether, speaking and listening. Easier said than done. Have you ever wanted to say something to someone and you even knew exactly what you wanted to say, but couldn't bring yourself to have that conversation? Or, have you shared a feeling with someone, and in response he or she became defensive and didn't seem to understand a word that you had said? They verbally attacked you, and even brought up issues that were irrel­ evant to the original conversation? These experiences are common, and the solutions are actually simple if you are willing to adjust your communication patterns. In thinking about communica­ tion as a process, we might consider the message you intend to send, how you actually say it (facial expression, tone, posture, content) and how the listener interprets it. It might be helpful to realize that what we say verbally constitutes 10 percent of all we communicate. The other 90 percent is nonverbal, includ­ ing how we look and sound as well as all the interpretations we make of what others say. For example, one com­ munication trap that we often fall into is mind reading. We assume what others are thinking or feel­ ing and react according to these assumptions, even though some­ times nothing has been said. Let's say that you as­ sume that because your room­ mate isn't talking to you, she is mad at you. You might respond the same way by ignoring her when she comes into the room. Likewise, she is involved in some mind reading herself, and because you've ignored her, she thinks you're upset with her and doesn't invite you to join her and her friends for dinner. We could go on in this drama as a scary conflict continues, but the point is that a dangerous cycle usually unfolds. The best way to avoid this com­ munication trap is to check out your as­ sumptions. You could say, "Julie, you weren't talking to me today, I wonder if you're mad at me." In response, Julie might say, "No, I'm just not feeling well," or "It has nothing to do with you, I'm upset with my boyfriend," or "Yea, I am feeling angry about you talking on the phone and keeping me awake late into the night." Now, you're communicating. You have identified the problem and can hopefully continue to talk about this is­ sue, perhaps work out a time that would allow for late night conversations with out infringing on the other's sleep pat­ tern. The above example also illus­ trates another communication tip, "1 Statements." An "I Statement" is a ver­ bal expression that starts with "I" and includes your thoughts, feelings and needs. There is certainly a difference in hearing someone say, "I am feeling an­ gry" versus "You are making me mad." The second sentence usually will end up in the recipient feeling blamed and criti­ cized and retaliating with another nasty comment, resulting in a verbal punch­ ing match. "I Statements" require you to take responsibility for your experience while still communicating it to some­ one else. In this way, you might be more inclined to work together toward a so­ lution rather than creating distance and increased animosity. Now, you may be careful about how you verbalize your experience, but it's also helpful to consider that we each hear information based on personal fil­ ters. These filters are made UD of feel­ ings, past experiences, biases and anxi­ eties. The more life experiences we ac­ cumulate the more clogged the filter gets. Regardless of what we intend to say, what is ultimately heard is depen­ dent on the listener's filter. If your fil­ ter is made up of many painful experi­ ences, for example, you may perceive hurt where there is none. If your filter is made up of unexpressed anger, you may perceive anger where there is none. Imagine this scenario: Your boyfriend may tell you that he is not able to see you tonight because he's going to a friend's house to watch movies and hang out. You, having experienced hurt in a past relationship breakup, may per­ ceive his desire to be with his friends as a sign that he's losing interest in you. Your filter may lead you to experience rejection even though that was not the intended communication. In order to help alleviate this confusion and conflict, it is important to try to understand ourselves and our filters as the filters of others. The more you empathize with yourself and oth­ ers, the better you'll communicate. So, are you ready to communi­ cate? That is, are you ready to really say what you mean and actually listen to what others say? Communication joins us, unites ideas, clarifies conflict, identifies problems and generates solu­ tions. Communication is actually a mechanism of change, but like any tool, we have to use it properly for it to work. �Page 6 The Appalachian Introduction to equity sity, from the rainbow multiplicity istrators in reaching and under­ that makes us each who we are is standing of all sides involved in an the real challenge.

"I don't know what the open date ans until after the game," Moore said, 11 know that you can use all the time can get to prepare for Eastern itucky." It's possible that the open date provided Appalachian with a chance to revive a running game that totalled only 28 yards against Clemson two weeks ago. Kareem Young led the Mountaineer rushing attack with three carries for just 14 yards, while tailback Gerard Hardy was held to just10 yards on nine carries. The Apps need a big game from Hardy, who rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns in ASU's 21-14 victory over EKU last season. look for sophomore wideout Joey Gibson to be a prime target. In his first career start, Gibson caught 11 passes for 114 yards against a stingy Clemson defense and became just the fifth Mountaineer to catch more than 10 passes in a game. This doesn't bode well for Eastern Kentucky, a team that has given up 58 points in its two losses. The Colonels will likely attempt to air it out against ASU. They are featuring a new quarterback in Simon Fuentes, and Rondel wideout Menendez shredded the Mountaineer defense last year for 97 yards and two touchdowns.

Saturday, >tember 20 at high noon, the intaineers play their first home game ie friendly confines of Kidd Brewer. The fodder for the Mountaineers be an Eastern Kentucky team that has kicked around in it's first two games now has an 0-2 record. It's always been interesting seeing a team reacts to a little adversity in early part of its schedule. Do they angry and decide to put it to the next a they play? Or do they lay down and over for the next team? More often than not, the team over and dies. However, Roy Kidd, Eastern dicky's coach will make sure none of that happens. Kidd has been one of the few permanent fixtures in Division I-AA football. Opening at Clemson could have been a potentially devastating game for Appalachian, but the Mountaineers despite the loss, proved they have what it takes to win the conference championship. On the sidelines at Clemson, I could hear the bone crackling hits of a secondary that was considered to be lackluster by many people. If that was lackluster, I would hate to hear what outstanding sounded like. An offensive line that was largely inexperienced played every down of the game, protecting ASU quarterback Bake Baker well enough for him to hit 29 of 50 passes. In Baker's outing against the defense of Division I-A nationally ranked Clemson he managed to pick apart their secondary for 292 yards. It also appears that Baker has plenty of capable recievers to throw the ball to. Joey Gibson hauled in 11 passes for 114 yards againt the tigers. Maybe Appalachian will be known as the "Air Mountaineers." Potentially the running game could be explosive for the Mountaineers with tail back Gerard Hardy and Kareem Young at full back. However, very little of that potential was realized against Clemson, who historically has had a strong defense against the rush. People can try to predict how a team will play over the course of the season, but very little is clear until the team has played their first game. Look for the big bright lights of the Fox Sports South Camera Saturday when the Mountaineers take the field. Appalachian over the years has compiled a 14-8 record when in front of the tv camera. Five out the last six televised games ended up in victory for ASU, with the loss being to Marshall. The void left by Dexter Coakley probably won't be filled for the next couple of years, but the Appalachian has already See Mountaineers page 10 VS.

Mountaineers Adam Niehiesel and Jon Duncan recorded double digit tackles against Clemson. The bottom line is that Appalachian has a better team than most thought at the beginning of the year. Unless injuries overcome the Mountaineers, everyone had better go ahead get ready for a play off game in Boone. Around the conference, many of the teams ranked higher than ASU lost their first games of the season. Furman lost a tough one to pyrennial powerhouse South Carolina State 17-6 while East Tennesee State lost their first game of the season to James Madisson by the score of 32-27. Furman's pair of losses caused them to drop from ninth to eighteenth in the nation, while East Tennessee State, who was the highest ranked Southern Conference team in the poll at number 6, fell to 14 with their loss. With one more loss the Buccaneers may find themselves out of the rankings much like what happened to the Colonels. Meanwhile, after four seasons of hardship, UTChattanooga has experienced a litde success and has found its way into the poll at the 22nd spot. But, overall, it seems like sportswriters across America have acknowledged the fact that Appalachian is the best team in the conference. Is this just voter loyalty on the part of the national media? Is Appalachian a bandwagon that nobody wants to get off? The answer is NO. Appalachian is for real and although writers and coaches may just hoping on the ride, it dosen't look like the Mountaineers are going to play bad enough to throw them all off. 4. Western Illinois' 5.

The survey, commissioned by the University of North Carolina system's gen­ eral assembly, asked select sophomores to rate the university's performance in vari­ ous areas, including faculty performance, supplemental classroom assistance, cam­ pus safety and offices that exist to serve the student body. Survey results said the university had the system's highest ratings in the following categories: faculty dedication to student academic success; evaluation of instructors; overall education offered to students; registration services; financial aid services and staff effectiveness; cam­ pus food services; services for commut­ ing students; and university opportunities for development of leadership skills. Certain aspects of Appalachian faired poorly with students surveyed. Survey results said Appalachian State re­ ceived low ratings on its library services and on the effectiveness of graduate as­ sistants in the classroom. Director of Institutional Research and Planning Bobby Sharp said survey results are indicative of both positive and negative aspects of the university. "Clearly, we're doing some things right, some things students perceive as high quality," said Sharp. "But students also pointed out some places (needing) attention." Survey results will also be used to determine university funding. Sharp said the general administration will use the results as part of an incentive funding pro­ gram, through which schools will be finan­ cially rewarded to keep student ratings high. "Program improvement is a main focus," Sharp said. "(The survey) is not just a matter of making (the university) feel good; there are funds attached." All schools within the UNC system were asked to poll sophomores with 44 to 59 credit hours, 30 of which had been completed at the institution, said Sharp. This excluded transfer students as eligible sources, but Sharp said this was necessary for the survey. "We didn't want to (survey) transfers who hadn't had enough experience (at Appalachian) to be measured," he said. The survey was initiated by the general administration as a system-wide assessment tool, and Sharp said it is one of three surveys used to grade the university's performance in several catego­ ries. "(The survey) is part of the informa­ tion-gathering process at the administra­ tive level," Sharp said. Last spring marked the pilot year for the sophomore survey, but it joins surveys for incoming freshmen and outgoing se­ niors, both of which are conducted annu­ ally. Sophomores were added to the sur­ vey list because the general administra­ tion wanted another perspective, Sharp said. The survey focuses on a student's first two years at Appalachian and features questions associated with the general edu­ cation program. "We catch students coming out of their lower-level experience at (Appala­ chian). The senior (exit) survey focuses on the upper-level experience in their major area," Sharp said. Eligible sophomores were contacted through their academic adviser or through the mail. Junior Summer S. Wright of Greensboro demonstrates why ASU Food Services received high marks from sophomores, (photo by Melissa Henao-Robledo) Of approximately 1,100 distributed surveys, around 600 students returned us­ able information.

Sponsored by the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce and the ASU chapter of the American Marketing As­ sociation (AMA), the fair showcases 3040 local businesses, including Back Yard Burger, Boone Drug, Wachovia Bank, French- Swiss Ski College and many oth­ ers, said Wes Avett, AMA president. For the past four to five years, busi­ nesses have gathered to Share goods and services while providing possible job opportunities to university students. Simply by visiting the vendors, students will also be eligible to win prizes do­ nated by individual businesses, Avett said. Avett said the business fair is ad­ vantageous for businesses as well as stu­ dents. 'This is a good opportunity if you are looking for a job. Businesses offered several temp(orary) services at last year's fair," Avett said. The Chamber of Commerce's Vice President for Business Affairs, Dan Meyer, encourages students to attend the business fair to learn information about local businesses, including business lo­ cations and services offered. "I would encourage students to come by and find out what is available. This is a good opportunity to meet the owners of the businesses as well," Meyer said. Meyer said the Business Fair has been a great success in the past and hopes the tradition will continue.

This wonder­ ful product will hit the stores just in time for Christ­ mas, the peak aggressive driving season. Nationalist propaganda is the root of war Emily Miller Columnist The ideology of the governing peoples of the United States of America does not allow the possi­ bility of peace. The system we have created and allowed to fester has only room for ideas like patrio­ tism and militarism. Each of these ideologies main­ tained by our government not only eliminates the possibility of peace but also creates a necessity for war and war-like themes throughout society. Patriotism, or loyalty to one's nation-state, teaches people to love one's country and to hate and demonize the most immediate enemy. In World War II we were taught to hate the Germans and the Japa­ nese. Yet, directly afterwards, Russia and China, who were our allies, became our enemies? Patriotism focuses on the good deeds done by one's nation and the bad deeds done by the enemy nation. This pro­ cess distorts the view of the enemy and thereby pro­ motes war. Similarly, militarism functions to promote war. A militarized society is based on the concept of fear. The people are in constant fear of the enemy to whom all of these missiles and nuclear warheads will be delivered. Since we are in such "constant danger", it is necessary for our war department to withhold in­ formation from the public out of fear that this mys­ terious enemy will discover our strategies and de­ feat us. The government does this under the blanket of "National Security". The Military Industrial Complex is systemati­ cally manipulating and propagandizing the Ameri­ can public by seeking out targets to pose as potential enemies in order to gain public approval, as well as admiration as they take more money, kill more people, and allow, even encourage the wars to con­ tinue. In a society where we are in constant danger of these imaginary enemies, the military takes pre­ cedence over all other organizations of people occu­ pying a vast amount of natural resources as well as most of the research talent. At the peak of the Cold War in 1988, the world­ wide military expenditure was $923 billion per year (World Military and Social Expenditures, R.L. Silvard, 50). The War Resistor's League published a flier with projections of the 1997 fiscal year budget based on the Budget of the United Sates Government, Fiscal Year 1996 in which 22% of income tax money is di­ rected to the current military expenditures and 30% of the income tax money is directed to past military expenditures. I find it very disturbing that over 50% of our income tax money is dedicated to protecting us from an enemy that we do not have. With these ideologies indoctrinating our people, how could we hope to be free of war? It is time that we decide to stop the fighting. This premise calls for a major overhaul not only in our policies but also, in our minds. I believe in peace through international­ ism, the unity of all men and active peace-making. The 1986 Seville Statement on the biological neces­ sity of war conducted by an international team of biologists, psychologists, ethnologists, and geneticists adopted the statement that follows. It is scientifically incorrect to say: we have in­ herited a tendency to make war from our animal ancestors, that war or any other violent behavior is genetically programmed into our human nature, vio­ lence is neither in our evolutionary ancestry, nor in our genes, that humans have a Violent brain', or that war is caused by instinct or any single motivation. "Internationalism does not mean the end of in­ dividual nations. Orchestras don't mean the end of violins." —Golda Meir 7" Letters to the Editor Drugs are ignored as problem To the Editor: I could say many positive things about my ex­ perience here in the United States, for example, the unique opportunity to meet people from all around the world, seeing new places and getting to know wonderful people but lately, I have no­ ticed a problem which I believe requires more at­ tention. How do I see this University? What is the per­ ception I have about the people? These are im­ portant questions because, like me, other exchange students return to their native countries and tell their families and friends what life is like in America. I wanted to get to know the soul of American culture but much more the intellect, because I be­ lieve this is the only way for me to grow person­ ally; to be able to touch the fiber of human nature in this country. That is why this problem strikes me so deeply. I am talking about the use and abuse of drugs. I had the good fortune to make many friends in the short time I've been here. However, I have pro­ found feelings because I observed talents in these friends which have gone to waste due to the use of drugs. They have potential in every aspect: intelligence, warmth and promising futures but they insist relentlessly on a virtual suicide, "con­ sciously" and systematically. The contact with the problem again reminds me of the questions I stated earlier as well as the one question I faced when I lost a friend to drugs. Why? But even worse, why does no one talk about it? Is it possible that you live it as a personal op­ tion? If this is so, I think it is a mistake because in the world of drugs, not everyone survives. If a person does survive, he or she may never be to­ tally complete again, emotionally, physically or in­ tellectually. If you don't care what's happening now, equally important to the ones who have strived maybe tomorrow you will have to say "my son is a for accomplishment. We live in a patriarchal so­ vegetable because he wanted to be" or "my girlfriend ciety that all too often undervalues the multitudes is dead because it was her personal decision" or "my of people who are less driven to be leaders or ath­ brother never finished school and is in jail because letes or dominat in some way over others.

This year's convocation speaker, Julia Alvarez, was passionate and exciting. The required summer reading of her novel, In the Time of the Butterflies, and her convo­ cation address fit so well together that the practice should become a tradition. It is impossible to please ev­ eryone. Thankfully we cannot say that the entire student body enjoys the same taste in literature or speakers. The story, however, of the Mirabel sisters is surprisingly relevant to today. In light of the death of two admirable revolution­ ary women, Princess Di and Mother Teressa, it is beautiful to read that women have been giv­ ing their lives to make our world a better and more human place. Julia Alvarez's novel has united ASU in being a part of a much broader community. Her novel is based in the Dominican Republic, but the spirit of her book is not bound by political or geo­ graphical boundaries. There is a current movement of Chicana and Latina writers; this is an enthusi­ astic spreading of the diversity of what it means to be American. What the butterflies were fighting for is to live their lives the way that they wanted—free. Even though we don't live under the dic­ tator, Trujillo, who was in power for 31 years, we are still fighting. Our fight is a call for a kinder and healthier world. This is how we are free—loving each other in our differences. "Long live all of the butterflies." Catch these Macado's Specials... fir I wanted to comment to the writers of the Sept. 9 article en­ titled "Convocation should have more to do with ASU." I am a jun­ ior here at ASU, and because I'm in a class called Chicano/Latino Literature taught by Silvio Sirias, I was fortunate enough to be able to read Julia Alvarez's novel In the Time of the Butterflies before her visit to ASU. Having read her novel certainly made her visit more exciting; however, I thought her speech at Convocation was very inspiring, even without the back­ ground of the novel. Convocation is intended to get everyone geared up for a new year, right? Well, don't you remember your freshman year? Didn't you feel at all intimidated leaving home for probably the first time?

Call for details To the editor: I thought that a convocation speech geared towards the fresh­ man class was a great idea. They represent over one-fourth of the undergraduate student body. The numbers alone make them signifi­ cant. At the same time, I didn't feel that Julia Alvarez left anyone out in her speech. I was very im­ pressed with the wide range of people she quoted thus enabling listeners, familiar and unfamiliar with her work, to relate to her talk. If, as you say, Appalachian's message to the freshman class was, "Excuse us, let us tell you how to think," by having them read (Alvarez's novel), they certainly picked the wrong novel. This novel allows readers to expand their small-town USA ideas and think about things that most of us have never encountered. In your article you write, "There's nothing wrong with try­ ing to give students a different taste of things.

First of all, who is this we? You sound a lot like you're trying to speak for the whole student body. Secondly, don't you realize that Appalachian State University has very little di­ versity? Don't you realize that the real world isn't like that? I praise the University for their recent con­ vocation speakers. We absolutely need some diversity and culture here. That is what a college ca­ reer is supposed to do. We are supposed to graduate with ideas, former ones now tested or new ones now developed, that we be­ lieve in. The ideas people were raised with can be their founda­ tion, but until they leam to listen to what is going on in the world today, and what other humane, human beings are doing, then they will never really grow. Also, in your article you write that "a national figure who just happens to be willing to share some time with us would be inter­ esting." Maybe you failed to no­ tice, but Dede Mirabal who is an acclaimed national figure did come to our little school and spend time with us here. I encourage you to read Julia Alvarez's novel so that you too will be able to understand the rel­ evance of her words. 238U;?73POUn<k« 238, the most toxic known to man, 0n.

Dependng on what your interests are, there is omething out there for you.

Other cheap favorites for the week:nd include hanging out with friends and vatching movies, listening to music, (finking beer, Kool-Aid, what-have-you. "I like sitting around my apartment with friends, just hanging out and listen­ ing to music," says Aimee' St. Charles, a senior from Jacksonville. Her favorite hanging -out music is techno-drum-andbass dance music. If you are more into the dancing and bar scene, Boone, although it may not be Charlotte, can still keep you from sitting at home bored and alone. Cheryl F. Stankavage, a senior from New York, says she likes going to Charlie Horse with her friends to dance and just hang out. Still feel like there isn't anything out there for you? Well, don't give up hope yet. You can always find something to do if you have the right frame of mind. Senior Charles L. Corpening of Morganton says he likes going to WalMart and hanging out at the picnic tables, just to watch people go by. He says that you can see a lot of interesting people that way.

Three of them ire recent college drop-outs. Do you think the neighbors complain ibout the noise? Probably not. These ire the men of Jump Little Children and hey know how to make music. Last Thursday night they proved it to in intense Appalachian State University :rowd of 573 jumping students. When Jump Little Children finally vent on stage, the crowd at Legends went razy. The audience, as hyped up as the iand, jumped along with the band to the st beat songs. With the band's unusual instruments nd the silly signature questions such as, ybody in the marching band?" or Who here likes to waltz?", the Legends oor was filled with loud, yelling fans. Obviously, living with the people they 'ork with hasn't hurt the band. If anyling, it has made their sound and their ond tighter. Evan Bivins, the band's rummer, said, "All these guys are as luch my brother as my real brother." The band includes Evan Bivins on rums; Matthew Bivins, who plays acousc and electric mandolin, harmonicas, a border, the melodic (a little keyboard ©king instrument that you blow into) id sings; Jay Clifford, who is the lead icalist and plays electric and acoustic nitar, Jonathan Gray on upright bass and ony vocals; and Ward Williams on :llo, electric guitar and harmony vocals. day, Evan, and Matt write most of the ngs for the band.

His advice to his fans Js to look out for their web page that °uld be coming out soon or go to aipLC@aol.com to find a list of conn dates. J Page 5 The band and the crowd weren't the only ones jumping Thursday night. A group of local guys called Weekend Ex­ cursion jumped at the opportunity to open theshowthat theyalmost stole. E v e n without a sound check, Weekend Excur­ sion rocked Legends as the opening band for Jump Little Children, prompting a crowd of about 100 to dance in front of the stage and compelling a few of the wilder, braver fans to try stage diving (with little success.) Weekend Excursion consists of six, easy to talk to, laid-back, yet dedicated, guys. The band has four members that attend Appalachian, Chris Groch on lead guitar, Jeff Foxworth on rhythm guitar, Cas Edmens on drums, and Danny Donavan on bass guitar. Aaron Shephard, the band's lead singer, goes to UNC-Greensboro and the violinist, Mike Ferry, goes to UNC-Chapel Hill. In between being full time college stu­ dents and having two members a good driving distance apart, when do they have time to practice? Well, they don't. They get together once a month and work on writing new songs and on practicing some of the old ones. Their other time to practice is during the gigs they have lined up almost every weekend. They basically have one show. But they get away with it since they play at a variety of places for different crowds. You could never tell from hearing them play last Thursday that they're pressed for prac­ tice time. The band has played together for about two and a half years. All except for Mike, went to the same high school. Mike met Chris at their church youth group and joined the band in 1995. The band does not write down any of their music and usually improvises a lot of it on stage. They sometimes do cov­ ers of other bands such as Dave Matthews Band, Bare naked Ladies, Jimmy Hendrix, and Notorious B.I.G. At Thursday night's concert, the band played 11 original songs. People in the audience compared Weekend Excursion to Hootie and the Blowfish or to the Dave Matthews band. Whomever they resemble, Weekend Excursion is on the road to making a name for themselves. The band recorded a CD this past sum­ mer in Durham. When asked about their future plans, Aaron, the lead singer, said, "[We're] tryin' to move on up, get as far as possible and take it as far as it goes." Weekend Excursion will be playing in Winston Salem at Ziggys with Life in Gen­ eral, Oct. 7. They will hit Boone again Oct. 18 at Klondike and Nov. 8 at Rafters. Check out their web page for more infor­ mation on concert dates: www.geocities.com/~weekendexcursn.

The general bulletin for Appalachian !te University states that internships r^n serve as the bridge to careers after Uation." Student interns can earn academic credit, a small salary, or both. Gray Kurfees, a junior, said, "My in­ ternship broadened my educational expe­ rience by giving me a hands-on opportu­ nity. It gave me job experience that you just can't get sitting in a classroom." Kurfees is a public relations major and interns at the Hunger Coalition. Kurfees got a job offer last week, his first week as an intern. So how do you get involved? Besides talking with your advisor, turn to Bob Webber. Bob Webber coordinates the Internship Program. With a computer database that contains information on close to 500 companies, Bob Webber works individually with students. The first step in the program is IstPlace. 1st Place is a registration system that al­ lows students to create a resume online. And it's user friendly. By clicking on a few choices in the program, a student can then transmit his or her resume to prospective employers via the World Wide Web. IstPlace also lets a student know what companies are interviewing on-campus. Even Walt Disney wants Appalachian stu­ dents. Internships allow a company to "test drive" a student for future employment and allow a student to "test their major firsthand," said Webber. There are still more options for intern­ ships.

Both the Univer­ sity and Boone support the Hospitality House. Food Services on campus donate leftovers at the end of the day to the Hospitality House. Fast food chains and restaurants in the area do the same. In the past, they have joined efforts with fraternities and so­ rorities to organize benefit events. Four radio sta­ tions and three newspa­ pers in the Boone area do promotional work for the Hospitality House. Companies interview students for internships early though.

"It's a full-time responsibility and our schedule is around football," he said. The main goal for this season ardy says, is consistency. According to ar'dy, making the playoffs is also high his list of priorities. During spring drills Hardy moved from quarterback to tailback. "It wasn't a hard move," Hardy said. "(While) playing quarterback, most of the plays that were given to me were running plays." "It's just a different position where I'm getting the ball in a different way," Hardy said. Appalachian Coach Jerry When asked what his best memory is while playing for the Mountaineers, Hardy mentioned the now legendary win over Marshall in 1994 when the Thundering Herd were the top-ranked team in the nation and App fans carried the goal posts around town before they ended up in the Duck Pond. Throughout his career, Hardy has received his greatest support from his family. Hardy says his role model is his father. "I don't know many people who would do the things that my dad "I feel good about this year's had done for his kids," Hardy said. "My dad had been a focal point in team.

Southern Conference head coaches, who voted to determine each squad's predicted finish, gave the Lady Mountaineers eight of 10 first-place votes. The women's conference will take on a new dimension in 1997 as four new schools join the conference. Virginia Military Institute and The Citadel, two formerly all-male institutions, will make their first attempts at competing in women's cross country. Wofford College and UNC-Greensboro, altogether new entries, will also appear on the schedule this fall. East Tennesee State University, the 1996 men's conference champions, are forecast to repeat in the Southern Conference as well. Appalachian, who fell short to the Buccaneers by three points in voting, is predicted to finish second. UT-Ghattanooga placed third in the poll with 101 points followed closely by Western Carolina University with 92 points. Heading out the worst teams in the conference for mens'cross country will be Wofford and Davidson according to the men's Poll VMI, The Citadel and Wofford strive to stay out of the cellar in the realm of women's cross country. David Jackson Staff Writer For one afternoon, the Appalachian State University women's soccer team matched a feat that it had only accomplished one previous time in their three-year history. The Mountaineers downed UNCWilmington Saturday afternoon, 1-0, raising their record to 2-1 on the year, marking the second time in history the Apps' record stood above .500. The last time Appalachian's record eclipsed the break-even mark came at the beginning of the 1995 season, when the team defeated Liberty in the season opener. Mountaineer freshman midfielder Linda Nilsson tapped in a ball that ricocheted off Seahawks' goalie Carla Linebarger to secure the game for ASU. The score marked the first career goal for the Loberod, a native of Sweeden, and stands as the first-ever goal scored by a Lady App that hails from outside the United States. Freshman goalkeeper Leslie Beckman tallied eight saves on the afternoon, recording the first shutout of her career. As quick as the Mountaineers blanked one squad, they had the favor returned by another. East Carolina became the second team of the 1997 season to shutdown the Appalachian offensive attack by shutting out the Mountaineers 1-0. The Pirates controlled the pace of the game, out-shooting Appalachian 23-6 on the afternoon. Beckman managed to keep ECU out of the net, turning back nine shots, bringing her weekend save total to 17. With the game heading towards overtime, East Carolina substitute Beth Bernabe chipped a shot, over the head of Beckman, into the back of the net with just 3:33 left in regulation. Appalachian managed two shots on goal before the final whistle, but could not find pay dirt. The loss evened the Mountaineers record at 2-2. Wednesday's match against Elon was suspended at the 61:08 mark due to lightning, with Appalachian leading the Fightin' Christians 3-1. NCAA rules state that a game does not become official until the 70:00 mark. Officials with both Elon and ASU will make a determination later this week as to when the match will be continued. Appalachian kicks off Southern Conference battle this weekend as they play host to Georgia Southern and Davidson. The two schools were picked to finish second and third, respectively, in the preseason coaches poll. GSU comes to Boone having captured the last four meetings with the Mountaineers, including a 5-0 shutout victory in the final meeting of the 1996 campaign.

Page 10 Stallone's "Copland" is arresting Liotta, Harvey Keitel, and Robert deNiro, who have starred in such great films as "Goodfellas," "Ca­ sino," and "Taxi Driver." H o w ever, I was unfamiliar with the di­ rector, James Mangold, who also wrote the script. And the fact that Rambo (oops...) Sylvester Stallone had a starring role in the movie also made me skeptical. Nathan Hall Staff Writer I went into the film, Copland," with a few reserva­ tions.

To apply, please contact your career services office to register for: To my relief, though, Mangold's work is high quaility, and Stallone's performance almost entirely redeems him for years of cheesy action movies. The film takes place in Garri­ son, New Jersey, a town just across the Hudson River from New York City. The town is populated almost entirely by New York City police officers who have come there to escape the everyday madness and violence of the city. But instead of protecting the public, they turn to lawlessness. Stallone plays the sheriff of the town who faces a moral dilemma. He must choose between the loy­ alty he feels toward his friends in the town, and his civic duty to curb their illegal activities. Harvey Keitel plays a corrupt cop intent on preserving the lifestyle he has created in Garrison, and Ray Liotta plays a cocaine addict. Both give excellent performances. Robert de Niro's part is small, but crucial to the plot, and his acting is as flaw­ less as usual. Method Man, a.k.a Johnny Blaze from the Wu-Tang Clan also makes a cameo. He plays a crazed crackhead who wounds one police officer and kills another by throw­ ing him off a building quite con­ vincingly. I thoroughly enjoyed "Copland." It is well written, intelligent, and entertaining, and is edited and filmed extremely well. It is scary to see a group of actors who have played the role of ruthless gang­ sters so well in the past turn around and play the part of police officers so perfectly. It makes me wonder if the line between cop and criminal is really as thin as it seems in the movies. Go and see this movie while it is still playing in theaters. You will not be disappointeed. I give "Copland" four stars. INFORMATION SESSIONS Alonzo Drake, killed 3/17/91 at 10:53pm on Robbins Rd., Harvest, AL.

Field Hockey opens season with win Fairness, Accuracy and Public Service since 1934 Appalachian State University Boone, North Carolina 28608 Beth Bliss Book Sale Did the public kill their princess? One copy free September 11,1997 In the News Sports: Due to a lack of space, Appalachian State University's New York City loft will change location by Dec. 31, said Director of Instructional Technology Charles Kreszock. Kreszock, who is responsible for management of off-campus residential fa­ cilities, said several factors contributed to the need for a new loft. Shortage of bed space, decline in neighborhood status and increasing popularity and use of the loft all account for the need, said Kreszock. Although the location of the Appa­ lachian loft will change, Kreszock still wants "to maintain a presence in New York City and to make (city) resources available for the students, faculty and resi­ dents of Appalachian." Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs Jane Helm said five possible locations have been established. All prospects meet necessary criteria. Due to heavy use of the loft, a new building of 4,000-5,000 square feet is needed, Helm said. This is an increase over the current loft space of 3,000 square feet. The university accessed the current loft through a lease. However, Helm thinks procuring a building will be a smart uni­ versity investment. "Purchasing (a loft) gives us a more stable place (for students)," she said. Helm is enthusiastic about obtaiiiing a new loft. "New York has much to offer and (the loft) has made it accessible to students," said Helm. The original loft, located in the South Houston (SoHo) district of New York City, was the brainchild of a former member of the art department, according to Senior Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Af­ fairs Clinton Parker. Parker said the loft was primarily used by art students in its earlier days. The current location of the Appalachian New York loft, pictured here, The current loft was originally leased was renovated from an old warehouse, (photo courtesy of ASU News by the university because it seemed the best option to accomodate large groups Bureau) of people, said Parker.

Residence hall security replaced by Campus Action Project Jonathan Beck Staff Writer Residence Hall Security is a thing of the past. Described by a residence life official as "an outdated and misunder­ stood program," the program has been remodeled and replaced by Campus Ac­ tion Project (CAP). Assistant Director of Residence Life Scott Ranger said the former program used student employees as security assis­ tants nightly from 12 a.m. to 5 a.m. Student employees made rounds, signed guests in and verified resident i.d. cards when necessary, Ranger said. This was the extent of their duties. "Nowhere in their job description was providing security," Ranger said. Ranger said modifications have been made to the residence hall moni­ toring program. "The new program di­ rectly claims that its primary function is not to provide security, but to provide cer­ tain services in the resident halls (to) make the building safer," said Ranger. "CAP provides the same service as Resident Hall Security, but with a few changes," he said. Start-up costs for the program are approximately $300,000. However, Ranger said the average annual cost for employee wages and other expenses will round out to approximately $150,000 an­ nually. "We want to use student housing fee dollars wisely," he said. Ranger feels optimistic about CAP and its differences from the old residence security program. "CAP is more pro-active and lets stu­ dents get involved on their campus and in their community," he said. Ranger thinks the program can be successful, but said it must be fully staffed to ensure best results. An incomplete staff means one per­ son may have to cover two buildings, or a building may be left without a monitor, Ranger said. Graduate student Josh Bartholomew, who worked with Ranger to develop and implement CAR said the program needs a dependable staff to be effective. Currendy, the program has only 55 employees, and Bartholomew said this number is too low. "There are eighteen residence halls that need (coverage) and some people only work one or two mornings a week," he said. "Ideally, we would like to have enough people (to) cover each hall every morning." Bartholomew said employment opportunities are available to students and that students can benefit from a position with CAR "If (students) really want an oppor­ tunity to create a better environment to live in, this is it," he said. Bartholomew said certain re­ quirements must be met before a student can get a position with CAR Students mus have a 2.0 GPA and no major violation on record with the university.

So why are we mourning just one of them? How can we as a society practically ignore a figure who gave so much of her time to the sick and underprivi­ leged? Mother Teresa lived a simple life under the watchful eye of God. Her life was a service for God and she was selfless in her actions. She rep­ resented all that was good and kind. She did not leave more than a pair of shoes and extra cloth­ ing behind. Diana and Teresa were two of the most im­ portant women in the 20th century and we are focusing on the cause of death. AreTve forgetting how rare both of these women were? They did so much for so many people around the world. They will never be replaced and we must remember what they stood for. In today's world we are plagued with so much suffering and pain. These women have brought so much hope and love to so many people. Both deaths are a tremendous loss but we should learn from them. Even Mother Teresa's. It is weird how much Diana's life was held in the spotlight and that is the tragic way she died. She left behind so much unfullfilled promise, two young men who need their mother and a country in need of their princess. Diana was always in the tabloids and on the television. She even used the media sometimes to further her causes, but only in the name charity. She loved children and tried to console those in need. She was not without fault. She had inner struggles as well as the ones that we could see. She battled with the eating disorder bulimia. This disease affects millions of women every year Diana worked tirelessly against the use of land mines in war and helped to battle A.I.D.S. On the same hand, Mother Teresa worked literally her entire life to better the lives of others. It's unfair to compare the lives of these two extraordinary women, but it's a shame that Diana's accomplish­ ments have been accentuated more than Teresa's. The latter's legacy will undoubtedly be remem­ bered longer as one of love and giving. While Diana did do many noteworthy things in her life, her death represents more of the end of a public romance than the death of a signifi­ cant humanitarian. Mother Teresa died as she lived, in an unrecognized way and working up until she couldn't move anymore. Some of the strong public reaction can be summed up in these women's ages. Diana was in her mid-30s, while Mother Teresa was in her late80s. It was expected that Teresa would go some­ time soon, while Diana's life seemed to be cut off in its prime. The suddenness of Diana's death is what caused such an outpouring of affection. She was just beginning to recognize her position as a good­ will ambassador for Britain and her role as a hu­ manitarian. We may never know the things that she would have accomplished had it not been for a drunk driver and photographers. Mother Teresa lived a glorious and accom­ plished life, filled with acts of giving and love that will never be forgotten. She is a figure who will be greatly missed in a world without much love. Regardless of the hype surrounding these women, only one will be truly remembered for her life, not her death. Mother Teresa gave hu­ manity the ultimate example of love. And that is the way she should be remembered. The Appalachian is published every Tuesday and Thursday of the academic year with the exception of selected holidays and breaks.

Responsibility for Princess Diana's death falls on each of us John Starling Opinion Editor "Princess Diana of Great Britain dies in Paris car crash; photographers, drunk driver blamed." This is the world we live in, isn't it? This is a world where a human being is relegated to being just a headline, a story or a photograph if they are unfortunate enough to be of any notoriety. Here I sit, guilty of the very thing I chastise. But that's my job. I can't escape that glorious obliga­ tion. I'm in a compromising position, just like the major press around the world was when news of Diana's death spread: how is this to be handled? Ifs situations like this that make it hard to ac­ cept my position as a member of the media, how­ ever small a position it may be. Despite the good responsibilities we have been endowed, I can't help but question the bad responsibilities we have taken upon ourselves. Is there a line between "news" and -privacy as it relates to celebrities? Should we be concerned with that line or, damn the torpedoes, this is too good of a story to pass up? I've heard it a million times from others. Don't let anything get in the way of a good story. Are we not supposed to have a conscience? Are we not sup­ posed to discriminate? I think we are. Maybe that means I'm not meant to be a hard-nosed, no-holdsbarred journalist. Maybe that just makes me a hu­ man being. I subscribe to the latter. How many lives are we going to take? We've claimed so many, living and dead. The list is long and muuuua.

How many times have you wit­ nessed a bar brawl or an act of physical violence with­ out first witnessing some form of verbal violence? People seem to pawn off verbal violence as "just words". Arguments have winners and losers because we see arguments as war. It would certainly be more peaceful and productive if we could develop an association between argument and compromise. Maybe, someday, even war could mean compromise. Peace is very much concerned with how we see the world. One way we view the world is through our language. We must determine if our language is war-promoting. To examine this, I looked up the words black and white in a thesaurus. The word black is synony- I, you, she, and he are often perceived as accusatoi synony­ c mous with words like darkness, evil, smudge, smut and isolating. Words lil we and us are all inclusiv like murky, etc. The word white is synonymous with terms that put everyone on the same level, unity pro words like light, purity, fair, etc. These words, com­ moting. monly used to describe entire races of people, obvi­ Also, words like should and must are de ously carry very distinct positive and negative con­ manding and forceful.

If you feel you have any of these symptoms, see a doctor immediately. The ACS also recom­ mends that women have their first mam­ mogram by the age of 40. There's a variety of treatments. One option is having just the tumor removed, but sometimes a woman has to have the entire breast removed. This is called a mastectomy. New developments are be­ ing made every day in cosmetic surgery and prostheses, so women don't have to fear looking abnormal. But that's a heck of a price to pay when it could possibly be avoided. Susan said, "If I had checked myself every month, I would have found it sooner." Susan's advice to young people is "Get to know your body. Don't be embarrassed to check your breasts every month." Susan discovered her lump by pure accident. The type of cancer she had was considered to be an aggressive type. "There is no telling how long I had had the lump, and it had spread to my lymph nodes." "I was 39 years old at the time. There are women in their early 20's who have gotten breast cancer." Other treatments include chemo­ therapy, radiation therapy, and hormone manipulation therapy. Matt, a freshman at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro who also declined who have his entire name printed, is a cancer survi­ vor who was treated through chemo­ therapy. Matt said, "I thought it was funny because' chemotherapy was supposed to make me feel better, but it made me feel awful. I felt completely dead after a treat­ ment. I lost all the hair on my body." It changed his appetite a lot. He can't eat sweet stuff anymore. "It makes your sense of smell so keen. I could smell perfume all the way down the hospital hall and it would make me sick." If you detect breast cancer early, chances are very good that you'll survive and lead a normal life. The American Cancer Society reports that the five-year survival rate for localized breast cancer has risen from 78 percent in the 1940s to 94 percent today. It is extremely important to do selfexaminations on a regular basis, because if the cancer has metastasized at the time of diagnosis, you only have an 18 percent chance of survival. Breast cancer and its detection are serious matters. Please check out your family's medical history and remember to do a self-examination at least once a month. Over 46,000 women died of breast cancer in 1995. Don't become a statistic, and don't forget that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Wear a pink ribbon to show your support! Breast self-examination guide Womenwho regularly examine their breasts are likely to discover a lump by the time that it reaches a diameter of 1/2 inch, whereas women who do not wil most likely not find a lump until it reaches a diameter of 11/2 inches. Follow these simple steps to help detect a lump quickly. 1. Get to know yourself The better you know your breasts, the more likely you are to notice any irregularities. Take note of their shape and size and the color and texture of your skin. Remember, it is normal for one breast to be larger. Your breasts will also naturally change in shape and size with age. Repeat the process with your arms above your head, hands on your hips and while bendingforward. 2. Lie down to examine your right breast Lay with a pillow under your right shoulder. Bend your arm back at a 90 degree angle. The area within the dotted line is where you need to concentrate. Pay extra attention to the shaded area. 3. Use the padded area of your fingers to examine your breast Use your middle three fingers on your left hand to make small, circular motions on your right breast. Concentrate on the area outlined with the dotted lines. 4. Do the same with vertical strips Make vertical motions with the same three fingers, feeling for any lumps or irreularities. Start at the armpit and move just below the breast. You should cover the entire exam area with up and down motions, from your collar bone to just below the breast. 5. Relax your arm and examine your armpit Your breasts extend into your armpit s as well. Relax your left arm at your side and examine your armpit for any irregularities. 6. Check for fluids coming from your nipple Squeeze your nipple gently. Any fluid coming from your nipple should be reported to your doctor immediately. 7. Repeat steps 2-6 with your left breast Many women repeat the examination while in the shower or bath. Also, if you do discover a lump don't panic. 80 percent of lumps are not cancerous.

Alpine Tower offers students a natural higjj Jonathan Beck Staff Writer II i •I I * offers climbers like me all sorts of challenges at different skill levels. There is a swaying balance beam, swinging logs and two cargo nets. The main goal in climbing the Alpine Tower is not necessarily to make it to the top. The real goal of the tower is to challenge your­ self and to push personal limits, and learn how to trust the people around you. Rich Campbell, the director of Group Interaction Courses and Al­ pine Tower trips at Outdoor Pro­ grams, explained that for him the Alpine Tower symbolized "self im­ posed limitations that we set for ourselves." "ft helps healthy growth and the development process and it builds trust in a group. And it's a lot of fun!" Now here comes the simply amazing part, anyone can climb the Alpine Tower. When I went the second time I was climbing with a group of graduate students and their professor. Any Appala­ chian Student group, class, etc. could sign up and climb the tower. The Alpine Tower is run through Outdoor Programs. Frank M. McKeon a freshman from Washington, NJ, had the op­ portunity to climb the Alpine Tower in his Freshman Seminar class. He said, 'Throughout the entire trip each person in the group relied on trust, laughter and limitations set for themselves." "If anyone who asked me if they should climb the tower, I would tell them to just do it. Do it to build trust in a group and use the experiences that you gain there and relate it to your life away from the tower," McKeon said. ASU students could get in­ volved with a trip to the tower by signing up either through open en­ rollment or through a class. The cost for an Alpine Tower trip is $10 per person and the group size needs to be between 10 and 20 people. Trips are arranged as often as there are large enough groups for them. So, if you can get your RSA or club together, or if you can coerce your professor, you can go too. Just call Rich Campbell at 2622745. For those of you that are wor­ rying about getting hurt on the tower, don't. The most severe in­ jury that has happened on the Al­ pine Tower has been very minor, a cut lip. The tower is very safe, and most of the trouble comes from the perceived risk. Learning how to conquer that is what helps in the real world. The Alpine Tower is all about risk taking and building trust. Campbell said, "We want to build character." I thought I was going to wet my pants. The swaying balance beam that I was trying desperately to walk on jerked and bounced with my every clumsy step. Sure, at first I was thrilled at the opportunity to climb the Alpine Tower again. I remembered how it felt when I finished last time. But when I got out to the site last Saturday I suddenly remembered the sinking feeling that maybe I hadn't gotten all the straps tight enough or that I had tied my fig­ ure eight knot wrong and would hurdle through the trees to my death. The fear of falling is the worst thing, especially when, like me, you're afraid of heights. Once up on the Tower, though, I pushed myself upward. 'Just one more grip." Climbing up the vertical pole to the balance beam and swinging my legs over was enough of a problem. The real problem once on the beam, though, was that every time I tried to stand up the beam shifted and I slipped back onto the pole. I gritted my teeth, hesitated, and made a final move. Staring dead at the ground about thirty feet below I remembered my love - hate relationship with the ground. I'd love to be on it, but I'd sure hate to hit it. Finally, though, I made it to the top. There is no feeling in the world that could compare to what I felt. The forty-five foot drop to the ground did not bother me any more. I had faced my fear and no one could take that away from me. As they lowered me to the ground, I thought about all my preconceived goals about making halfway or three-quarters of the way. Instead, I went straight to the top.

Rob Holliday Staff Writer It's that time of year again. On nature's calendar, the typical seasonal changes we expect with the transition into fall are right around the corner. On the calendar of Major League Baseball, the usual shift into the post­ season will still occur, but will take on new shape this year. While the customary color changes and temperature drops associated with October will resume their same form, the baseball post­ season the month is known for will not. With the introduction of interleague play this season, the unprecedented possibility of pre-World Series match up of American League and National League finalists now exists. Even though it brings the tradition of a first-time meeting of pennant winners to a halt, inter­ league contests have helped and will continue to benefit the game of baseball. Under the former scheduling policies of Major League Baseball, the teams in the National League played only National League teams; the American League functioned along the same lines. Therefore, the only time a National League team could face a franchise from the American League in a non-exhibition contest would be in the World Series, after both members had clinched the titles from their respective leagues. Starting this year, each team in both leagues played a schedule which included games with teams from the other league. For the first time, the Chicago White Sox, members of the American League, took on the Pittsburgh Pirates, a National League entity, in a regular-season affair. To critics, these AL/ NL match ups during the regular season will have ravaging affects on baseball's October culmination. In the eyes of numerous league officials and fans, the deafening excitement present in the World Series will be reduced to dull murmurs if the two participants have already played each other. One advantage of interleague scheduling over conventional scheduling is the variety it provides to the most important aspect of the game, the players themselves. Unless a player is traded to or signs with a team in the opposite league, he will most likely play the same schedule "In its trial run, interleague scheduling has already proven that can spark a fan's interest." each year. This means facing most of the same players in the same ballpark and sometimes even lodging in the same hotel season after season. When a National League team plays a schedule including American League teams, a whole new array of options is opened. Players can play in stadiums they have never before played in and against teams they have never faced, at least not during the regular season. To some players, this possibility might even allow the fulfillment of a lifelong aspiration. This past weekend, Atlanta Braves ace Tom Glavine got his wish—an appearance on the mound of Boston's Fenway Park— as a result of interleague scheduling. A Boston native, Glavine dreamed of pitching for the Red Sox but due to draft circumstances, which not only placed him on a different team from what he desired, but in a different league altogether, his dream grew more and more difficult to achieve. As a member of the National League Braves, the likelihood that Glavine would face the American League Red Sox was narrow. With modified scheduling, however, Glavine can count on many mound appearances, not only in Fenway Park, but in numerous other American League stadiums as well. It is no shock that the sport which has been known for decades as "America's Pasttime" has experienced declines in recent years. The sport has been criticized for lacking the excitement younger audiences expect and attendance has gone down in recent years as well. The implementation of interleague play can help remedy these trends. Baseball fans, either at the ballpark or watching on television, will be more interested in a game between teams and players who have few meetings in their histories. In its trial run, interleague scheduling has already proven that it can spark a fan's interest; ticket sales increased during interleague match ups. Another dimension that AL/ NL pairings bring to the fan is contests between teams that reside in the same city, but are members of different leagues. The New York Mets played the New York Yankees; The Chicago Cubs played the Chicago White Sox. A diamond rendezvous between two franchises with few prior meetings or the rejuvenation of an old crosstown rivalry could help bring back the excitement and fan loyalty baseball has experienced in the past. The most dynamic way in which interleague, as opposed to solely intraleague play, will benefit baseball is by adding a heightened emotional dimension to the World Series. Take, for example, the Atlanta Braves and Baltimore Orioles, the two teams who, at this point anyway, See Interleague on page 8 Vomen's soccer hammers Liberty Flames 4-1 'd Jackson Writer What a difference a year makes.

Between June 13-15, the visiting Orioles swept the Braves in three contests at Turner Field. Not only did the Braves fall to the Orioles three times, but did so in front of a home crowd. If these two teams do face each other in late October, both will have emotions present that they may not have had otherwise. The Orioles will be striving to maintain their win streak over the Braves; the Adanta club will be trying to vindicate the hometown sweep brought on by the Baltimore squad. Along with the typical surge of adrenaline, World Series participants could have emotional factors in the mix as well. If other sports are any indication, regular season match ups between eventual finalists have had little negative impact on the season finale.

This Week in the Arts Walk for Awareness Lunch With Uncle Sigmund The following isa transcript of the speech given by Leigh Wallace at the Eight Annual Walk for Awareness held September 2. Wallace, who survived an abduction and attack by the same man who killed ASU student Jeni Gray in 1989, is honored each year at the event. The Counseling and Psychological Services Center will present "Lunch With Performing Arts Series Uncle Sigmund" on Mondays at noon in the New River Room in Plemmons Student Union. Center staff will present informtion and lead discussions on The Canadian Brass psychoeducational topics. Topics and dates for September are: I sat down yesterday to gather my thoughts and to prepare what I would say tonight. But it soon became apparent to me that I had very few thoughts to gather, or at least I was having difficulty coming up with the right thoughts. This disturbed me. Sept. 15 Sept. 22 Sept. 29 I felt that surely there wassome powerful and meaningful message thatI could share with you. After all, this is the seventh or eighth time I have spoken at the walk for awareness, and I've always felt good about my message each year. But still, I came up with nothing. So I did what I always do when I'm having trouble thinking and need to clear my head-I went running.

Fairness, Accuracy and Public Service since 1934 One copy free Appalachian State University Boone, North Carolina 28608 Convocation speaker incorporates themes from novel in address to students, faculty WarH Katie Ward Staff Writer The importance of "becoming a but­ terfly was the focus of keynote speaker Julia Alvarez's address at Appalachian State University's tenth annual convoca­ tion, held Sept. 4 in Varsity Gymnasium. Alvarez's speech, "Chasing Butter­ flies," was specifically aimed toward the class of 2001 in hopes of encouraging stu­ dents to achieve their goals and fulfill their dreams while becoming an ethical person. A tenured literature and creative writing professor at Middlebury College, Alvarez is the author of "In the Time of the Butterflies." Her novel, which inaugurated the freshman summer reading program, played center stage at this year's convo­ cation ceremony. Alvarez said the butterfly is a Greek mythological symbol for the soul. She presented the three key steps in "becom­ ing a butterfly," or developing a soul. The first step involves simply being a caterpillar, Alvarez explained. "Although there is no promise of wings, you must risk failure and work hard in order to fly," she said. The second step, Alvarez said, is to always remember where one is going. Alvarez related this principle to her own life by explaining that her first novel was published after 20 years of writing. After spending time as a caterpillar and gaining sight of one's dreams, the third step in Alvarez's philosohpy is to spread one's wings, she said. "Wingstroke by wingstroke, word by word, we achieve our goals," she said. Alvarez said the pur­ pose of this metamorpho­ sis is to pass on what one has learned in the hope of freeing some­ one else. S h e quoted au­ thor Toni Morrison when she said, "Each of us has our own talent. The challenge is to find out what it is, use it, and pass it on." " T h e journey to become a butterfly is what life is all about," Alvarez added. Dr. Silvio Sirias, assistant professor of foreign languages and literature, preceeded Alvarez's address by describing ASU as a "community united by (her) novel." Sirias spoke of Alvarez's capacity to "astound readers with the ability to breathe life into her characters." Sirias also accredited Alvarez as one of the "brightest points on the literary ho­ rizon." Other featured speakers at convoca­ tion included Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski, Board of Trustees Chairperson James T. Broyhill and Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Harvey R.

Other univer­ sity professors were recognized at the convocation cer­ emony as recepients of various staff awards for the 199596 and 1996-97 aca­ demic years.

Dougherty Administration Building, (photo by Marvin Evans) ASU turns 100 in 1999 Centennial committee plans year-long party Sherrie Huffman Staff Writer On the eve of a new century and a new millenium, Appalachian State Uni­ versity will throw a landmark bash—its 100th birthday party. Co-chairperson of the Centen­ nial Planning Committee and former Ap­ palachian history department faculty member Bettie Bond said Appalachian will hold a campus-wide, year-long cel­ ebration to commemorate its centennial year. The motto for the centennial celebration will be 'A future worthy of our past." With that in mind, Bond said one of the purposes of the celebration will be to start or continue Appalachian traditions. "V\fe want people to come away from the celebration with a very posi­ tive feeling about who we are, where we've been, and where we are going," Bond said. The committee began planning the celebration last August, she said. From Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 1999, sev­ eral activities will take place on campus, Bond said. The centennial celebration will begin with an opening gala celebration in January 1999. Special monthly activities will in­ clude, but are not limited to, lectures, musical performances and historical pho­ tograph displays, she said. Bond said activities will be de­ signed to appeal to all aspects of Appala­ chian, including the interests of students, faculty and staff. Faculty members will also be eligible to apply for funds to implement their own birthday celebration see Centennial on page 2 Personal resolutions and a positive musical message put a different spin on the eighth annual Walk for Awareness, held Sept. 2 on the Appalachian State Uni­ versity campus and in the town of Boone. Begun as a tribute to the 1989 mur­ der of Appalachian student Jeni Gray and the abduction of fellow student Leigh Cooper Wallace, the walk is viewed by many students as an opportunity to raise awareness of violence against women, both on and off campus. The atmosphere surrounding the Walk for Awareness was an optimistic one. As described by Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski, who ad­ dressed the crowd gathered outside B . B . Dougherty Administrat io n Building before the Walk, "(This) is a night of sym­ bolism—(symbolic) not only of life taken from us, but also of what our society has become." Borkowski encouraged students and faculty to use the evening as an opportu­ nity not only to remember Gray, but also to "make a resolution that all of us will be vigilant, will reach out, will care...to enhance our learning environment." The chancellor's comments were echoed by North Carolina senator Virginia Foxx and Board of Trustees member Marva MacKinnon, both of whom ad­ dressed the need for awareness of simple acts of violence and cruelty. Foxx said people should be aware of harm that can result from offensive comments and jokes. "We have to start at that level," she said. "It may sound trivial, but our language is important." Fbllowing tradition, the Walk's route wound through the Appalachian campus and extended into the Boone community. Traffic on King Street was temporarily blocked and many drivers called out to students, asking why they were walking. The procession ended at the Jones House Community Center on King Street, where students were given candles and resolution sheets. Representatives from the Appalachian student body read their own resolutions for safety and awareness. Leigh Cooper Wallace also ad­ dressed the gathering of students and facu 11 y. Wallace's speech paral­ leled t h e theme of the evening, as she e x plained to the crowd t h e "new level of existence" she reached fol­ lowing her abduction and attack. Wallace encouraged other victims tc resolve to "let go of the daily memories. Return to next year's Walk not as a vic­ tim, but as a survivor." The evening ended with a song from the Black Student Association Gospel Choir. Walk participants were encouraged to join the choir's a cappella rendition ol "Never "Riming Back." As they left, participants were giver white ribbons to wear to promote violence awareness.

Due to budget changes, Academic Computing Services (ACS) has been able to add more computers to White Hall, Belk Hall, Sanford Hall and the stu­ dent union's Profile Trail Lab, ac­ cording to Doug May, director of ACS. May said certain changes in residence hall security, such as the 24-hour lock down of all halls, may limit the use of com­ puter labs within White, East and Belk residence halls. However, the Student Union Lab is open and operated by a lab assistant 24 hours a day to provide students computer access as they need it, May said. The ACS and Belk Library lab are open for regular operating hours. One modification of ACS is the removal of all dot matrix print­ ers from campus computer labs. May said the money formerly al­ located for maintenance of dot matrix printers was used toward the purchase of new computers and printers. "We have removed all dot matrix printers from all labs, and instead have increased the avail­ ability of laser printers," May said. "That was demanded by the stu­ dents." Other changes have been made to offer students up-to-date internet and e-mail services, May said. ACS now has a web site ac­ cessible via ASU's home page. Stu­ dents can see lab hours of opera­ tion and the programs available in each lab, May said. Also, students can now change their e-mail passwords using Netscape or Internet Ex­ Centennial from page 1 plans. 'We have asked [the uni­ versity] that everything have a centennial focus or theme for that year," Bond said. Some special activities have already been proposed for the centennial celebration. Bill Fri­ day, former university president, has been invited to speak at the 1999 convocation, Bond said. Also, Bond's committee has proposed that new banners and flags be purchased for each aca­ demic department for occasions like convocation. Bond said the centennial committee is also planning the biggest homecom­ ing celebration the campus has ever seen. Bond hopes the centennial celebration will emphasize cur­ rent Appalachian traditions and possibly produce some new ones. Bond hopes new traditions will come from both student and faculty. "(The centennial commit­ tee), welcomes student participa­ tion because it is imperative to therielebration," she said. Junior Christy Barrick, stu­ dent representative for the cen­ tennial celebration committee, said the committee will propose that representatives from each class be elected to supplement the student voice in planning the centennial event. Barrick said the committee plorer, May said. Passwords can also be changed by calling the campus Voice Registration Sys­ tem. May invites students to send suggestions or comments through the ACS web site or through email. "Our interests are to help the students any way we can," May said. "We are open to sug­ gestions." Even though the changes were made to cater to student de­ mands, some residents resent ACS for removing the dot matrix print­ ers. East Hall resident Rebecca L. Robinson, a freshman from Char­ lotte, feels the dorm labs are less useful without printers. "I don't see the point in hav­ ing a computer lab in a residence hall for convenience if there are no printers in the lab," she said. "(Residence hall) labs are good for e-mail, but that's not the primary reason I use (the) computers." Walk from page 1 also proposed that a Centennial Cup be passed among campus or­ ganizations as a display for the group who wins the most points by means of community or cam­ pus philanthropy during the cen­ tennial year. If this challenge is'implemented, Barrick hopes it will be a lasting tradition among Appala­ chian organizations. The centennial will also in­ spire small changes, Barrick said. For example, Appalachian football players will wear jerseys accented by the celebration logo. Barrick emphasized the im­ portance of student involvement in the celebration. "Students should keep up with (scheduled) events so they can get involved in events that interest them," she said. "This is going to be a very big event and students are the people who are going to make (the cel­ ebration) happen," she said. Students can access more information about the centennial plans through Appalachian's home page on the World Wide Web (www.appstate.edu). A "Centennial" prompt on the side of the screen accesses the home page. Barrick said the plan­ ning committee welcomes com­ ments and suggestions from stu­ dents and faculty and hopes every­ one on campus will make an ef­ fort to get involved. Awareness, a common attitude was evident among many walk ers: most walked to advocate awareness of violence against women. Junior Gretchen G. Woodall of Rocksboro attended the event with fellow Alpha Phi sorority sisters. "As a sorority, (Alpha Phi) is walking to pro­ mote awareness of women's is­ sues," Woodall said. Other students had more personal motivations to walk. Graduate student Joshua G. Mcintosh of Washington, D.C., walked not only to promote women's liberation, but also to support fellow residence life employees. "I'm here to support my (residence assistant) staff, who are out here getting (on-campus) residents to walk," he said. Sophomore Elizabeth J. Hayes of Fayetteville not only walked to promote awareness, but also to encourage her male friends to participate and felt it important for other women to do the same. "I think it's a big deal for women to know that we have (men) here to support us and (to know) that all guys aren't bad guys," Hayes said. Many students attending the event had at least perfunc­ tory knowledge of the history of the Walk. Many in attendance knew it was first organized to recog­ nize the abduction and death of Gray and to honor the survival of Wallace. Low, low prices: Continuous library Sale offers deals for bookworms Beth Bliss News Editor Forget major retail chains: Belk Library has the best book prices in town. A continuous book sale in the library's main lobby features used tides that should appeal to readers of all tastes. Library acquisitions staff member Dee Dundon said the li­ brary receives an enormous amount of used book donations each year. Donations arrive from all sources, including professors, stu­ dents, and members of the com­ munity who may be moving or wanting to get rid of old books. However, this year library personnel found themselves with excessive donations and little storage space. "Everything is a matter of space and room," Dundon said. Dundon said Belk Library has held annual book sales in the past to make donations available to the public, raise funds for the library and make room for new donations. However, Dundon said the book sale has lost its appeal to both students and faculty. "It's outlived its time," she said. "We're trying something new." The continuous book sale offers a new spin on the tradi­ tional book sale. Dundon said the sale features approximately 250 books displayed oft shelves in the library's main lobby. The books will range in sub­ ject matter from paperback nov­ els to hard cover encyclopedias, she said. A selection of books will re­ main on display for 15 days. At the end of a selling period, un­ sold books will be recycled and a new, randomly-selected set of 250 will hit the shelves, Dundon said. All paperbacks are 15 cents and hard covers are 50 cents. Dundon said purchases are made on the honor system by putting money in a locked cash box. While the sale will prima­ rily feature used books donated to the library, Dundon said some newer books with 1996 or 1997 publication dates are also avail­ able. These titles are prominently featured on the display and are individually priced, rather than sold for 10 or 15 cents, said Dundon. Dundon said the sale is an opportunity to put money back into Belk Library All proceeds go tarns Sophomore Eric E.

Dougherty Admin­ istration Building, a burning question ran through my head: What inspired these people to give up an evening and participate in a silent walk across campus? When I asked some students for a reason, I received some pre­ dictable answers: nearly every female I spoke with came to the Walk as advo­ cates of women's safety. Most of them had heard the stories of Jeni Gray and Leigh Cooper Wallace, and perhaps this made them view the Walk as an oppor­ tunity to raise awareness of violence against women. However, the sampling of males I talked to had a different view of the Walk for Awareness. While some were required to be there for a Freshmen Seminar class and others were there simply to see what the fuss was about, a majority of men I spoke to were there "because my girlfriend made me (come)." Two men I interviewed don't even attend classes here; they came to Boone to see their girlfriends for the evening and were told they couldn't have private time with their ladies if they didn't walk. Of the men I spoke with, no one said they were walking to support the rights of men or to advocate men's safety. Now, perhaps it's silly to think anyone would walk for such a thing; after all, men can take care of themselves, right? No, I don't think so. Vice Chancellor for Student Development Barbara Daye, who coordinates the event each year, told me the focus of the Walk changes annually. Daye said the focus shifted somewhat this year because the man who killed Jeni Gray and abducted Leigh Cooper Wallace recently died in prison. Daye and other Walk organizers felt this closed the door on one aspect of the Walk—the part that focused on the victimization of Gray and Wallace. As a result, this year's Walk was centered around moving ahead, a theme evident in Wallace's remarks on considering herself a survivor rather than a victim and in a song performed by the BSA Gospel Choir entitled "Never Turning Back." When I asked Daye if she thought students would have a particular reason to walk, she described the decision to walk as a personal one. In essence, each person who walks should have a personal reason for participating. Now, perhaps the men I spoke with wanted to be at the Walk for Awareness for different reasons, but hid behind the girlfriend excuse simply to protect a macho image. That's certainly legitimate. But I encourage those who attended Last week I participated in the eighth annual Walk for Aware­ ness, a walk that shows that ASU students and faculty won't tolerate sexual violence. I attended last year's walk as a freshman and was deeply moved by the strong show of support from the crowd and from the faculty. It's one thing to say that ASU students should feel safe walking across campus at night. It's something else when people ac­ tually get off their can and do something about it. Critics may say that the Walk is just that; a walk, just people parading around and not saying anything. It's so much more though; every year thousands of ASU students gather together to increase awareness of sexual assault. As the Walk convened at the Administration building, various speeches were given and then it began. As I turned around to watch the Chancellor lead the way, I almost fell over. Hundreds of people were behind me, extending from the Administration building past the statue of D.D. Dougherty that looks like Gandhi. When the crowd moved up past the post office and onto King Street, the blue lights from police cruisers reflected off the faces of the people who cared enough to walk. Once we arrived at the Jones house, more speeches were given, most nota­ bly by Leigh Cooper Wallace, the survivor of a sexual assault by Jeni Gray's killer. This year's speech wasn't contrived and wasn't a rehash of last year's speech. It was an honest portrayal of what she felt; that she wasn't a victim anymore, but a survivor. As the speeches were being given, pamphlets were distributed that had some statistics on sexual assault as well as the words to "Never Hirning Back", a song performed by the Gospel Choir. The most important part of the pamphlet was a list of New Year's Resolutions. These resolutions are what the Walk for Aware­ ness is all about. Many of the speakers advocated resolutions like not standing by when a sexually degrading joke is told, or getting involved in a situation where someone could be in danger. Participants were urged if they see someone walking alone at night, to ask them to join your group for safety. A resolution board was posted outside of the Student Union for public display. All this talk of resolutions got me thinking about what I could do to help. After much thought, I finally concluded that I could make myself more accessible to my female friends who need to cross campus at night. When I'm walking alone at night across campus and I see a group of females, I make a conscious effort not to follow too closely. If I can take an alternate tunnel under Rivers Street, I do. It's a small thing, but whatever I can do to make anyone feel a little less stressful about walking on campus at night, I'll gladly do. How about you? VS. see Walk on page 4 Strike breaks contract with customer Sam Streed Columnist Now that the UPS strike has ended with a rela­ tively quick victory for the teamsters, the time has arrived to review the logistics of this perplexing or­ deal. For those who failed to pay attention to this landmark juncture in the everlasting labor/employer dispute, here is a very brief synopsis: UPS workers, being more than satisfied with their hourly wages, were instead upset about their lack of full-time employment and hence their lack of fringe benefits (i.e. medical/dental insurance). Their con­ sequent strike was a direct result this dissatisfaction. Their 15 day strike resulted in the eventual collapse of UPS into submission and consequently threatened the economy of innumerable businesses and organizations across the United States. Had it persisted, it would have certainly resulted in wide­ spread inflation among certain industries. If the economic aspects of this strike seem very pompous and egocentrical, perhaps a psychological analysis of worker mentality will put things into per­ spective. 1 "f A psychological theory referred to as relative served rights for workers, unions have become noth­ disparity is decidedly appropriate for this situation. ing more than a vehicle for satisfying a group's rela­ This theory dictates that human beings, no matter tive disparity collectively.

Letters to the Editor Be Grateful to Grunts To the Editor: Many of you have probably gone to class and seen someone weraring a US Army camouflage uniform. Don't worry, you are not in bootcamp; this really is ASU and you are attending an academic class with the hope that you will graduate and j become a successful citizen. What you may want to do is go up to that young man or woman and wish him/her good luck with his/her future as an American soldier. It sounds corny doesn't it. After I say what I want to say it will still probably sound corny to the typical unappreciative civilian (UAC if you would). I'll just put it like this...you would not be here if it wan't for that ROTC Nazi (as I have heard some UAC's call them). You don't believe me? Well, let's just think about it for a while then. Have any of you studied British history? I'm not an expert on it, but I can tell you from what I do know that the British were scoundrels who treated their subjects like the stuff you may one day step in on the grounds of Welborn Mall. If that soldier's predecessors, who is in your class, wouldn't have taken up arms and stomped some Redcoats' butts, you might at this very moment be sitting on an expensive British stool wondering why you just paid five dollars for a cup of tea. What about California? I'm sure some of you have been to California and those of you who haven't would someday like to go. Do you know why you can go there? Because people like that ROTC cadet 'f- in your class obtained ownership of it for you. In fact, they obtained ownership of this entire country from Adantic to Pacific for you. I must add this of course...I know a lot of you UAC's are probably whining that we stole this country. I agree with you one hundred percent and I wish it could be undone or corrected in some way. But as you sit there reading this and thinking, "We hurt a lot of innocent people creating this country," I would ask that you bum your furniture, bum your bed, bum your TV in fact, bum your entire house down, quit your job and toss your marijuana. Because if you said to yourself the quote I just wrote or something to the same effect, you are a hypocrite. Anyway, back to i the subject. see Letters on page 4 �Page 4 The Appalachian 9 „ 7 oei Walk from page 5 simply because they were "made" to do so to reconsider their posi­ tion in the event and take a stand for something they should believe in. Last year, Appalachian was rocked by several alleged events, particularly alleged sexual assaults on women. These events brought groups like the National Organi­ zation for Women (NOW) to cam­ pus in full force, rallying for ac­ tion to protect and redeem the al­ leged victim and bring her alleged attackers to justice. However, a fairly noteworthy, yet less publicized incident involv­ ing a male also happened in 1996. As documented by the Nov. 5,1996 issue of The Appalachian, a male student was stabbed twice in the leg during an attempted robbery in an alley between Hoey and Doughton residence halls. The ar­ ticle mentioned action taken by the Department of Housing and Resi­ dence Life; fliers were posted in residence halls encouraging stu­ dents to be aware of their sur­ roundings and avoid walking alone at night. The article said the robbery "has caused heightened concern for the safety of all Appa­ lachian students," but one source said some ASU men seemed hardly worried about the event. ASU stu­ dent Grant Dula, a freshman last year who was interviewed for the article, said, "A lot of the guys (in Hoey Hall) still don't really worry about things like that. It's the girls who are freaking out." This assault generated zero support from anyone other than residence life and university police officials, the folks who are paid to take action. Granted, a sexual as­ sault is different from a mugging, but the same general principal should be present. Why didn't a men's group come forward and protest lack of security on campus? Probably because there aren't any men's advocacy groups on campus. If a woman had been stabbed in a mugging, groups like NOW would have attempted to do something about it—no question. And while men's rights groups aren't present at ASU, they do ex­ ist. An Internet search revealed several web sites for men's advo­ cacy organizations, and although many of these groups focus on men's rights in the areas of divorce and child custody battles, some also have information on violence against men. One Canadian group, Fa­ thers are Capable T o o ridicule to admit it? If men can find their voice, perhaps they can break male stereotypes and initiate posi­ tive change, both on this campus and in society. Men need help sometimes, too. This is not a personal state­ ment proclaiming that women are intrinsically better at protecting the rights of our sex—I'm neither activist nor male-basher. Our soci­ ety has raised both men and women to believe that females are W i l l more susceptible to assault and groups like that men are not victims of vio­ this ever lence; rather, they are continually have ASU depicted as instigators.

Letters to the Editor (continued) If ROTC cadet's predecessors wouldn't have fought in World War I and World War II you might be wondering why your government is at this very moment continuously kissing the German Chancellor's rear side. That's what miniscule countries do to the big powerful countries if you hadn't noticed. Germany, not the good, democratice one we know now either, would be in charge of what goes on in this world. Let's get more modern. Vietnam and Desert Storm: first, that ROTC cadet loves this country so much, he went to Southeast Asia to fight in a war with little to no support from home. But you UAC s cannot even begin to appreciate how badly that can crush someone (yes, soldiers have feelings too). Second, I have noticed a humongous parking problem, which about nobody is doing anything (but that's another story). This fact tells me that a lot of people on this campus need gas. Would any of you like to estimate for me what you might be paying had not that ROTC cadet's active compadres gone to Iraq and tested out their new toys? What, you don't want to think about it? Well neither do I. I'm sorry that the ROTC cadets, nor the active military can solve this campus administration's parking blunders, but I promise you that they will keep you free and allow you to enjoy the rest of your free life. So, I hope that the strange stares that I see people aim at my friends in uniform become stares of admiration and gratitude. Mark A. Seabolt ASU Box 17842 Register to Vote in Boone To the Editor: "I don't want to register here because I'm only going to be here for four years," or "I don't want to vote because I don't know any of the candidates," or even "I live on campus so that stuff doesn't affect me." Any of these sound familiar. Probably so. These are some of the excuses students give for not registering in Watauga County and/or not voting. The fact is what happens here in Boone/Watauga County affects you more than what happens back home where your parents live. Why? You live here, you eat here, you shop downtown, in Blowing Rock, at Wal-Mart, you buy your gas and groceries here. Even if you go home every weekend (and I hope you don't) you spend 5/7 of your time here in Boone/Watauga County. So, yes, you should register and most definitely vote. Understanding the ASU population makes up roughly 1/3 of the county population, you can make a tremendous difference in local elections. Another excuse people give to not vote is, "I don't pay taxes here, so why should I vote here?" The truth is you do pay taxes here. When you pay your rent a portion of that goes to pay property tax, water bill, sewage treatment, and garbage disposal. Everything you do here is affected by local laws and ordinances. Get involved with local politics and you will be amazed at the differences you can make. I got involved and decided to be a part of it. I am a candidate for Boone Town Council.

Chad McAllister Staff Writer Do you want me to draw a butterfly?" - Julia Alvarez and Dede Mirabal sign In the Time of the Butterflies" after convocation. (Photo by Addie Wootn) To most people, a butter­ fly is an over-romanticized, common creature. To the an­ cient Greeks, the butterfly was the symbol of the soul. Now, to many students and faculty members at Appalachian State University, the butterfly is a symbol of strength, persistence, and self determination. Julia Alvarez, in her con­ vocation address last Thursday, illustrated what it is to become a butterfly. "To become a butterfly is to become a person with a soul," Alvarez said. "A person who is an ethical person, a per­ son with compassion, a hu­ mane as well as a human be• „ ing.M "With this,"Alvarez said, "people become a larger ver­ sion of themselves with all the doors and windows of the self open to the world." But just who is this Julia Alvarez? For those who did not read her book, who were the visitors that she brought with her to Appalachian last week? Alvarez's novel "In the Time of the Butterflies" focuses around the life of the four Mirabal sisters. During their life span, three of the sisters, Patria, Minerva and Maria Teresa, helped to form an under­ ground regime intent on dissolving the rule of the Dominican Republic's longest standing dictator, Rafael Leoniclas Trujillo (El Jefe). After Trujillo had the three sisters as­ sassinated, the surviving sister, Dede Mirabal, who was one of the visitors that Alvarez brought with her, became the keeper of the story of her sisters. After the murder of her sisters, Dede was left with the grief and loss of the Trujillo reign. The country was still left facing what was to be the bloodiest year of reign. The underground movement had lost three more leaders to assassination and had many who were still imprisoned. Dede found a way to continue, though. She felt that her strength was needed, not only for the nieces and neph­ ews that were left by the murders, but for the well being of her people. She knew that she had to remain strong or others would begin to submit and the sacrifices of her sisters would have been in vain. Dede was asked how she handles being asked to recall such tragic moments in her life. Through a translator she re­ plied, "You must remain strong and con­ tinue to discuss the times and help people relate." By staying strong and preserving her sister's legend, she has helped inspire the people of her country. By keeping the story strong inside her family, her family has become a part in the functioning govern­ ment of the Dominican Republic. By ac­ cepting the icon status that was thrust upon her without folding, Dede has be­ come a butterfly. As a result of the publication of this story, Alvarez has become one of the fore­ most rising stars in modern American lit­ erature. But Alvarez has risen from beginnings that left little chance for hope. She grew up in the 1950's during the Trujillo reign. Her family was forced into exile from the Dominican Republic because of her father's involvement in an underground plot to fight their dictator. She was forced to attend schools that did not even teach in Spanish, her native language. "At the time, all I could see were the losses," Alvarez said. Alvarez, however, would not let the limited opportunity keep her from reaching her goals, one of which was to be a writer. As she became one of the strongest Dr. William Derrick, the Director of Student Health Services at Appalachian, said "A private gynecologist's office would charge $75-100 for the same procedures we perform here for free. It's really a great deal." And the great deals don't stop there. Due to the rise in sexually transmitted dis­ eases, (STD's), and unplanned pregnan­ cies among college students, the Health Center also provides free STD and preg­ nancy testing, as well as reduced cost con­ traception. Oral contraception, "the Pill," is only four dollars a month, and dia­ phragms will only run you $7.50. Condoms will set you back $2 for nine of them, and Depo-Provera only $23 every three months. "The cost of these contraceptives," said Derrick, "is less than half of what stu­ dents would have to pay in the private sector This will save students money, and will hopefully encourage them to take advantage of our health care program." So how does the Health Center get the money to provide these services so cheaply? ASU does not provide any funds, nor does the state of North Carolina. Only See Alvarez page 6 Attention women! Testing is vital to your health lealth Perspective Emily Smoot Staff Writer Ladies, are your private parts cov­ ed? Luckily, as an Appalachian State diversity student, they are; medically eaking, that is. Female students are fortunate to ive a comprehensive gynecological proam at the Appalachian Health Center. While most students dread tests at hool, doctors agree that there are some sts that female college students can not afford to skip. According to Emory University profes­ sor Dr. Charles Mason Huguley, cancer among women ages 30-50 is on the rise, and early detection could ensure a higher probability of recovery. Huguley said that in 1996, there were 48,000 deaths from breast cancer alone in the United States, and 27,000 from ovarian and uterine cancers. Huguley further says that, "Effective screening can help prevent the incidence of cancer related deaths, but women have to make sure they take advantage of these tests." According to Dr. Huguley, women past 20 years old should do a self-breast exam every month, and have a pelvic exam yearly. Women who are 18 or sexually active should have a Pap test yearly for three negative test years, and less fre­ quently thereafter. The Appalachian Health Center rec­ ognizes the need for gynecological exams, and provides many services for free, or at a reduced rate. The Health Center pro­ vides regular gynecological and breast exams at no charge, while the cost of a Pap smear is $15, due to the cost of pri­ vate lab testing.

Rachel Miller Staff Writer Movie Review "Suck my ...," Lieutenant Jordan Neil yells to the Master Chief at a cliactic moment in "G. I. Jane." This kind of dialogue would usually ; typical in a movie about the macho orld of Navy SEAL training, except that Neil is a woman and, presumably, lacks e necessary equipment for her comand.

Jane" a surprisingly intelligent treatment of is subject for a film that first appears be a only a showcase for Moore's new is. O'Neil is hand-picked for the SEAL 'ining program by an ambitious Texas nator (Anne Bandcroft) who strongms the military into accepting a few >crete test cases for various un-inteated parts of the military. O'Neil is '8ht, fit, and straight: the perfect cante. Here, the stumbling blocks be- Block #1; SEAL training. No sleep, tie food. Freezing water. About •000 sit-ups a day. No wonder there's »0% drop-out rate. Block #2: the Master Chief. This of character has become a screen -hetype. From Clint Eastwood's eartbreak Ridge" to "Platoon" to ^Pes", the relentless, order-barking, always sunglass-wearing drill serlnt's a staple of military movies. This lster Chief (Viggo Mortensen) raises , ar a bit by quoting D. H. Lawrence by actually becoming less hard nosed me movie progresses. "She's not the 'blem. We're the problem," he tells a °w officer after O'Neil survives the ''ally tortuous prison-of-war practice SERE island. Block #3: the Senator. The very woman who helped get O'Neil into the program turns into an enemy when it suits her political interests. Bancroft is wonderful in the role, with every bit as much strength, charisma, and cunning as Mortensen in the Master Chief part. They're hard as nails in careers where only the strong survive. Block #4, and by far the silliest: the Arabs. Here, in a plot twist stolen from brother Tony Scott's 'Top Gun," the intraining SEALs happen to be near a site of actual crisis and are called in for ac­ tive duty. So O'Neil finally gets to fight some bad guys. Now that filmmakers have nearly ex­ hausted the bad-guy potential of the Rus­ sians, it seems Middle-Eastern people will be the next wave of ridiculously stereo­ typical baddies. In a nice twist, O'Neil doesn't just blast her way around the battlefield. She actually uses some help­ ful strategy to save the day. The film is filled with fairly wellrounded characters played by a wonder­ ful cast, with the unfortunate exception of O'Neil. Maybe an actress with greater range than Moore would have brought some subtlety or multi-dimension to the character. However, Moore meets the extreme physical demands of the role with a cred­ ibility that Meryl Streep might not have had. Moore kicks, claws, grunts, and slams her way wonderfully through a movie where her fitness trainer actually gets a screen credit. Director Ridley Scott is the perfect choice for this movie. He has distin­ guished himself in chick-flicks before, such as 'Thelma and Louise." He directed "Blade Runner," another movie where a loner survives a bleak and humorless world. And he directed "Alien," starring the mother of all female action heroes, Sigourney Weaver's Ripley. So while there aren't a lot of surprises or plot twists in "G. I. Jane," and some of the dialogue is screamingly bad, it's a compelling movie to watch anyway. The issue of women in the SEAL pro­ gram is simplified since the main charac­ ter sometimes seems about as human as the Terminator. The strength of the di­ rector and the supporting cast keep the issues on the table, so that overall G. I. Jane is a well-paced look at a part of the military rarely seen on film. Bryan Scott Staff Writer women worked out and had rehearsals un­ til 10 p.m. "There's so much time that goes into [the pageant] that people never realize. People don't realize what you go through," Burr said. On the Friday night before the pag­ eant, a preliminary competition was held in the evening gown and swimsuit com­ petitions. Each contestant also had a four minute interview with each of nine judges. These preliminaries singled out the top competitors according to their resulting scores to actually compete in the pageant on the televised night. Each contestant had to choose her own evening gown to be worn in the com­ petition. The pageant committee supplied the same swimsuit to all the women but they had a choice between three colors. "I'm not a pageant person at all," said Alison Burr, a freshman at Appalachian State University. This August, Burr traveled from her home town of Mission and took fourth place in the 1997 Miss Teen USA Pageant. Burr won her present title of Miss Teen North Carolina in a state pageant on Nov. 8 and 9, 1996. The state pageant was open to any woman between the ages of 15 and 19 years old who filled out an application to participate. Held in the Adam's Mark Hotel in Charlotte, N.C., the state pageant was the first in Burr's short career. One of the prizes that Burr won in the state pageant was an allexpense paid trip to the national Miss Teen USA Pageant, held on August 20,1997 in South Radre Island, Texas. Burr said that it took a lot of preparation to get ready for the national pageant. From the time that she won her title of Miss Teen North Carolina to the day she left for the pageant, she worked out with her personal trainer, who helped her get into shape for the competition. Burr left her home in Mis­ sion for the pageant on August 5. Once in South fedre Island, each contestant was paired with a roommate and given a room in the Holiday Inn. "It was a big experience," said Burr. "You don't know what to expect going to some­ thing with that kind of status." During the week preceding the pageant, the 50 competi­ tors, one from each state in the US, were kept very busy. The pageant committee took them around in buses and policemen followed everywhere they went. The contestants were taken out for lunch and dinner to expensive restaurants. Burr said that they were "showed off" wherever they went. The contestants awoke ev­ Alison Burr smiles as the new Miss ery morning at 6 a.m. and had (photo provided by Alison Burr) breakfast. After breakfast, the Teen On the night of the pageant, no one was allowed to go backstage with the com­ petitors. Each woman had to do her own makeup, hair and anything else she felt necessary to prepare herself for the com­ petition. The women remaining in the compe­ tition had to compete in each of the events from the preliminaries. The last event was an interview with each contestant where a judge asked a question. The contestants had no idea what the question would be about. It was entirely up to the discretion of the judge as to what he or she would ask. "A lot of people stereotype pageants. They think it's all based on looks, but it's a lot more of the inner person," Burr stated. After the pageant, the contestants were invited to a coronation ball. Donald Trump, the spon­ sor of the pageant, introduced the winners. "I've always been inter­ ested in [pageants], but I never really thought about it until two years ago," said Burr While watching the Miss Teen USA Pageant last year, Burr decided that the pageant was something she would like to try. At the end of the tele­ vised portion of the pageant, Burr saw a phone number for women to call who were inter­ ested in participating the fol­ lowing year. She called the number and received informa­ tion and an application to com­ pete in this year's Miss Teen North Carolina Pageant. "It was really just some­ thing that I'd always dreamed of doing and I was lucky I had the chance because not many people do," said Burr. According to Burr, her parents were skeptical at first and didn't really want her to do it. Howevet; when she decided to enter the competition, they were very supportive, she said. "I did it. It's over. I'm proud of what I've done, and I'm glad to be here, (at ASU)" said Burr She said that she doesn't N.C have plans to enter any more pageants. �Page 6 The Appalachian 9 sept( Alvarez from page 5 SHOWS * and more prevalent Latino writers, bits and pieces of the story, hear it became evident to her that she the account of the last remaining would have to write a novel deal­ sister, Dede and then take on the ing with the plight and legend of task of writing the story of the he­ roes of her homeland. the Mirabal sisters.

Does the Mountaineers' performance signal Clemson's demise Justin Griffin Sports Editor Many have written the Appalachian State football team off due to hefty losses and the performance of last year's team. Should the Mountaineers be so easily discounted? The Associated Press has East Tennessee State tied with Appalachian for third place in the Southern conference race. Ranked above the Mountaineers are Georgia Southern and Furman. This weekend, while ASU was gearing up for Clemson, Furman destroyed Division II lightweight Samford by 30 points on Thursday night and Georgia Southern lost a heartbreaker to William and Mary, 28-27. ETSU, the Mountaineers' supposed equal, polished Elon, a team that just moved up to Division 1-AA, 34-13. All of this was happening the same time Appalachian was giving Clemson a scare in Death Valley. Does Elon equal Clemson? How ranks of the nation's elite in college about William and Mary?

Carolina - a school whose football coach was called a "used car salesman" by Florida coach Steve Spurrier. Well actually Steve, UNC football coach Mack Brown sells new cars. Oh, the immense pressure West must be under at Clemson. How much longer will Clemson fans and boosters tolerate their football team's mediocrity? The last time Clemson won an ACC championship Ken Hatfield was coach. Hatfield had a string of 10 - win seasons and a couple of ACC Championships and that wasn't good enough for Clemson. It turned out Hatfield wasn't the politician he needed to be in order to survive. Hiring Danny West was Clemson's attempt to atone for their sin of firing Danny Ford after scandal hit the program in the mid 80s. It just so happens that West was one of Ford's assistants. Experience? West had a ton of it! He was coach at Tennessee Chattanooga for a full season where he amassed a record of 3-8. Even in victory there was disappointment for Clemson."

Getting into the swing of things The Mountaineers gear up for the 1997 campaign Brook Clark Staff Writer With eight starters returning from last year's conference championship winning squad, things are looking up for Appalachian State field hockey this year. Throughout the 1997 season, coach Cathy Burleson will rely on the leadership and play of stand out seniors Katie Shulzitski, Jodie Crystal, Miki Bingham, Kim Rohors, Kathryn Pearson and Anne-Mieke Menkveld. With two starting seniors out due to injuries, the freshmen on this team won't be able to sit back and let the upperclassmen do all the work. Burleson is counting on great play from them as well, namely goalie Chelsea Dailey. After last year's strong finish, this year's team aims to continue the winning streak. The schedule is tough with at least three of their opponents ranking in the top 20 including Duke, Wake Forest and Virginia. Also on the schedule is rival Davidson, whom the Apps beat twice last year, once during the season and once during the conference tournament. In the last week, Mountaineers have defeated Cata and Louisville 4-0 and 2-0, respect Preparing for the season at Kidd Brewer (Photo by Addle Wo �Page 11 ,e Appalachian 9 September 1997 Does baseball really need a tune lp? Ashley Wooten Staff Writer The great and mighty ball owners think they need a tic plan to save baseball. The uus owners have discussed lS that would change the ;nt game to a spiffy, new and oved game. Does baseball really need vior? Acting Commissioner Selig and other owners :ve something drastic needs to 3ne to combat low attendance •es. While they say they are trying to save the game, they probably just trying to pad wallets. Any math major will you that lower attendance als fewer dollars for the ers. Owners have been ling various ideas that will, in • opinion, improve the game, changes include the wildcard offs, three-division leagues interleague play. One of those changes is rleague play that began this r. Tor the most part, rleague play has been a ess. Games between the New ; Yankees and the New York s and the Chicago White Sox Chicago Cubs were sold out were praised by almost everyone as great for the game. Apparently though, interleague play is not enough to energize the sport. Owners have other ideas that could change Major League Baseball forever. The most controversial plan is a major realignment of both leagues. This plan calls for up to 14 teams to switch leagues, creating geographic leagues. The National League would be comprised of all the teams west of St. Louis. Every team east, including the Braves, would be in the American League. Under the radical plan, the National League West would consist of Anaheim, Los Angeles, Oakland, San Francisco, Colorado, Seattle and San Diego. The Central Division would include Texas, Houston, the Chicago Cubs and White Sox, Kansas City, St. Louis, Milwaukee and Minnesota. The American League would have an Eastern Division with Baltimore, Boston, Montreal, the Mets and Yankees, Phillies and Toronto. Atlanta, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit Florida, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay would make up the other division. Major League officials pitched the plan to citizens in different polls. Pollsters asked people if they like the radical plan. Over half the people polled favored the plan. However, most of the people polled had never heard of the Florida Marlins or Colorado Rockies, teams that entered the NL in 1993. Even more did not realize the Arizona Diamondbacks and Tampa Bay Devil Rays, two expansion teams, are to enter the major leagues next year. Since the poll results were released, support for the plan has dwindled. Many baseball experts such as Chris Berman of ESPN and Dave Costas of NBC have not favored the plan. I do not favor the plan. I prefer the tradition of teams like the Braves and Yankees in the World Series. Moving teams from their leagues only lessens the tradition of the great game. Many people would argue that the wild card teams, threedivision leagues and interleague play ruined tradition. I can see their point, but those plans are not as radical as this major realignment. . I can see positives with the radical realignment. Less travel for the players and more geographically oriented rivalries come to mind. These advantages may seem great, but fan interest will eventually wane with the new plan. I admit attendance to games this year is low. But I do not believe there is any problem with the game. Many fans avoid the ballpark because they still resent the baseball strike of 199495. I wish there could be a quick fix to make baseball America's favorite sport again. I do not believe this radical realignment is the best thing for baseball. I just hope the owners make a decision that is best for the fans, and not their wallets.

However, Kelly said the club will undergo an outside transformation and will soon be equipped with a new bar and cooler systems to provide faster, more efficient service.

Cash hopes this incident will increase drivers' awareness of pe­ on destrians campus. "We need to be more observant and slow down when driving around campus," she said. The accident victim was unavailable for comment. Legends improved inside and out Construction workers begin a frame for the convocation center. A bid date for the center is set for Oct. 21. (photo by Richard Thomas) Campus construction activities have begun to take shape as several projects have met or neared completion, said Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs Jane Helm. The new steam plant became opera­ tional this summer when the old plant was demolished. Helm explained the steam plant is still in Phase II construction and it will be fully completed by January. The site of the former plant is now vacant. Helm hopes the area will be reno­ vated this year to provide greatly needed faculty and staff parking areas. Helm said a bid date was made for the Appalachian Convocation Center for Oct. 21. The contractor will pass sealed bids with university officials to budget the total cost of the building. Helm said the bids must be low enough to comply with the allotted bud­ get for the building. If this cannot be done, she said officials will have to "value engi­ neer" and reduce the cost of the center. The new science building, scheduled to be finished by January 1998, will prob­ ably not be completed until February, said Helm. Also, the new baseball field should be finished by November, she said. Helm said the university is not over­ whelmed by the cumbersome construc­ tion. Attitudes within the administration are still enthusiastic, she said. "Everything we're (the university) doing, we feel is critical," she said. Helm said some smaller-scale main­ tenance projects will begin soon, includ­ ing new roofing for older buildings, win­ dow replacements and sidewalk repair. Is the construction still on schedule? According to Helm, the work has been slow but with constant progress. "I'd rather have it done right," she said. Helm feels the construction projects will positively affect student life. For ex­ ample, the completion of the John Tho­ mas Building last year allowed for combi­ nation of the student business affairs of­ fices, making university/student transac­ tions easier for students, she said. Student reaction to the construction has been less than enthusiastic, accord­ ing to junior Jason Blankenship. "I don't pay much attention to it," he said. Blankenship feels he speaks for many students when he says he doesn't think he will be able to take advantage of many of the new buildings in the near future.

Kelly said Legends' bar was originally designed to store canned beverages. As times have changed students have brought more alco­ hol in bottles, storage has been a problem, he said. Further problems arise at crowded Legends events, such as concerts, Kelly said. Such events can produce long lines for alcohol retrieval. "That's a disservice to customers," Kelly said. "We needed to stop that." New coolers equipped with glass doors will make it easier to store and locate alcohol for pa­ trons, said Kelly. Legends will also have sepa­ rate lines for checking in and pick­ ing up alcohol, which Kelly hopes will make the overall alcohol check-in system better for patrons.

The building is in need of a face-lift because the current blue wood exterior is decomposing, ac­ cording to Kelly. "It's deteriorating, and it looks bad for the university," he said. "It looks shabby." The club has had the same look since it was remodeled from a grocery store in the 1960s, and Kelly hopes a new brick exterior will blend with the more modern style of the newer buildings on ASU's campus.

Emily Miller Columnist Children of the DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program aren't we all? Most of us, as college students today, were once guinea pigs for a drug prevention program developed in the early 80's. We all remember the yellow folders and still see reminiscent bumper stickers plastered on our nation's interstates and highways. Though the DARE pro­ gram was originally a community based on organi­ zation, it was a direct product of the war on illegal drugs implemented by the Reagan Administration. The DARE program is just one example of the failure of the war on illegal drugs as both drug pro­ duction and consumption are both on the rise since the 80's. The war on drugs in fact had many ulterior mo­ tives. The first of which lies in that it serves to un­ dermine the Bill of Rights upon which our country was founded. The fourth ammendment, which pro­ tects us from search and seizure, is often violated under the grave necessity to rid our streets of drug users. Random locker searches are now common in High Schools throughout the nation. The war on drugs is also commonly used to crush political dissension thereby destroying our system of checks and balances. In the late 1960's the govern­ ment made a high level decision to destroy the Black Panthers in which many were tried on drug charges (Political Prisoners and Trials of the US, J.R. Bennett). The war on drugs is blatantly biased in its proce­ dures. The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) under director Willie Jones lists 165 characteristics of drug users upon which people can be searched. Every person, upon being searched, has had their rights violated, myself included. Another huge flaw in the existence of the war on drugs is that it is based on morality rather than pub­ lic health interests. Our government, the paragon of virtue that it is, decides to launch a war on drugs excluding both cigarettes and alcohol? The National Institute of Health reported in 1981 (the year after Reagan took office) 3,618 cocaine related deaths, 2,743 heroin related deaths, 395,000 tobacco related deaths, and 0 marijuana related deaths. The tobacco related deaths may very well be so much higher because tobacco is legal and more readily accessible, yet, still, this was not the focus of Reagan's attack? The reasoning behind this is, of course, that legal drugs are very lucrative. The to­ bacco industry and pharmaceutical companies bring in billions of dollars every year. It is my opinion that the war on drugs masks a much more serious problem. When one compares a drug dealer's sentence to that of a corporate crimi­ nal a very disturbing discrepancy exists (Washing­ ton Post, Nati weekly edition, Oct 21-7,1996). We are neglecting the real crimes to the people. The government's intent is to create an enemy for the people out of fear that if we are not distracted we may begin to notice what is really happening. Of course, nothing turns out the voters like a national super hero fighting against drugs and crime. In the end, fighting against drugs wins votes. We are now at a point that we can view the war on drugs with hindsight. The ulterior motives are painfully obvious. The important aspect to acknowl­ edge is that the very same propaganda from the drug wars is now redirected into other areas. We are as blind now as we have ever been. We are bound but we think we are free. If we don't scru­ tinize the government then, where is our system of checks and balances? The war on drugs functioned in many ways though obviously not to reduce the countries con­ sumption. What are the government's ulterior mo­ tives before us today? Living in a place that has more of its citizens in prison than any other industrialized nation, one must examine the policies. If only my belongings heard me...; Imagine how cool things would be if inanimate objects could obey every command Matt Bielejeski Columnist Did you ever notice how some people talk to plants as if they could actually respond and say, "Why yes, Gladys, I'd like some more water and just a dash of Miracle-Gro?" Just where does this sort of insane reasoning come from? Most likely from the same people who decided that the "Quickie Mart" would be even faster if the spelling changed to "Kwik-EMart," substituting bad grammar and a hyphen for the correct method. Is society as a whole just get­ ting plain lazy, or is it just me? Anyway, back to the talking plants. Imagine if speaking to inanimate objects could actually get them to respond to your wishes. Just think what stupen­ dous effects this power could have on the average person's life. Example: Joe Schmoe (or Joette Schmoe, what­ ever) rolls out of his bed and smacks his noggin on the not-so-unforgiving hardwood floor. As he at­ tempts to stem the flow of blood from his head, he begins the chant to invite the Band-Aids to come to his aid: "Oh mighty Johnson & Johnson, I entreat you to come to my assistance. Bring forth your powerful and infection-defeating soldiers, the Bands of Aid, to cleanse and bandage my hangover-induced lacera­ tion." And just like that, the box of. Band-Aids leaps from the medicine cabinet, dances across the floor, and proceeds to apply themselves to Joe/Joette's in­ jured gourd. Now that our hero/heroine has gotten himself/ herself/itself/ themselves together, he decides to have some breakfast. Upon this decision, he does the tra­ ditional breakfast summons: "Mr. King Thin? Oh Mr. KING Thin? Don't you want to come out and play in my nice Black & Decker 4-Slice Swimming Pool? Ooooh, yeah, you know you do. And what about you, Ms. Florida Gold, don't you want to jump in my glass?" And so on. You get the picture. The real benefit of inanimate object mobility comes to the one thing that rules our lives: money. Yes, I know. "Money only rules your lives if you let it" or some jive like that. Well I can't help it if you're wrong. Just accept that and work with me here. Example: Joe is two weeks late on last month's rent. His landlord, Mr. Roper, has called in two goons who like the sound of breaking bones. As they are breaking down his door, Joe begs his wal­ let to get him out of this jam. "Oh please, Mr. Wallet, just this last time. I swear I'll keep up with all my bills. I'll feed you regularly. I know I've been kind of sparse provid­ ing you with cash, but it'll be constant from now on, I swear. Please, you gotta help me!!" After hearing enough pleading, Mr. Wallet fi­ nally coughs up the $300 needed for Joe to keep his femur in its current healthy position. The beautiful thing about talking to inanimate objects is that they, like most real people, have per­ sonalities and egos that would have to be accounted for. Because of this, you couldn't demand your wallet to keep a constant stream of $100 bills flow­ ing without taking it on a vacation to Tahiti and finding a nice Italian handbag for it to schmooze with. So just keep these scenarios in mind next time you start begging your last square of t.p. to last a little longer... Greed motivates attacks on tobacco companies Money is the reason many states have taken the tobacco giants to court. Is it good business or a dangerous precedent? Pavel Zemliansky Columnist CNN has reported that Florida's State Govern­ ment had just won a financial settlement case with guess who... if you guessed "tobacco industry" you are absolutely right. The state government will receive $11.6 billion, allegedly to compensate the Medicaid expenses re­ lated to treatment of smoking-incurred diseases. The $11.6 billion comes in addition to more than $300 billion, won by anti-smoking campaigners in the fed­ eral financial settlement case earlier this summer. If Florida has won the case, it is almost certain that other states will follow suit and will replenish the states' budgets at the expense of the tobacco com­ panies. Each of these cases have two sides. The first and the most obvious one is money. The anti-smoking campaigners make no secret of the fact that treat­ ment of smoking-related diseases is necessary, and it is expensive too. The Medicaid budget needs to be replenished from time to time, so the government might just as well get the money from the people who incur these expenses, rather than from other taxpayers. Besides, if anyone really thinks that the tobacco industry will loose profits and will be forced to change its "evil ways" after paying the sums which to us, "ordinary" people sound astronomical, this is not going to happen. Let me give you an example. In the country where I come from, one of the most successful industries is tobacco and manufacturing of cigarettes. No, we don't grow the stuff. It is just that the tobacco factory in my city was fortunate enough to attract several bil­ lion of dollars worth of investment from Philip Mor­ ris several years ago. The factory is working well, wages are good, cigarette costs in the city are going down all the time. Several months after Philip Mor­ ris had pumped the first portion of the investment in then troubled factory, I made of the project manag­ ers from the tobacco giant at a party. When I asked him whether it was safe enough for his company to invest so much money into such an unstable economic environment, he said: "Philip Morris is reach enough to lose $10 billion over several years without notic­ ing it. We are just breaking even now and we don't expect any profits before the year 2000." Thus, abandon hope anyone who thinks that pro­ duction of cigarettes and therefore poisoning of smok­ ers will be reduced by imposing heavy fines on ciga­ rette manufacturers. The other side of the conflict between cigarettemakers and the public is, to my mind, about money as well. Although far away from believing in the ex­ istence of an X-Files type plot to wipe out the ciga­ rette industry as such, I am inclined to think that there is a hidden agenda behind declarations about the necessity to preserve public health by strangling the tobacco companies. Yes, smoking is harmful for your health, yes, I personally would rather choose the non-smoking sec­ tion in a restaurant over the smoking one. However, it seems that cigarettes are being made a scapegoat, and a lot of people do not notice, or are made to not notice the harm that other products may cause, prod­ ucts that are advertised daily on television and in newspapers. If you eat too much ice-cream, you will have a high level of cholesterol. If you drink too much alco­ hol, you will have a sick lever and a weak heart. If you spend too much time in front of the most ad­ vanced computer monitor with "radiation protection," you may develop sight problems. Who will pay for the treatment of your diseases then? Medicaid, pos­ sibly... Proponents of a smoking-free environment seem to be taking on too big a task - answering for every­ one. Although I am a non-smoker, I will respect my neighbor's right to buy cigarettes and smoke them. Earlier this summer flight attendants employed by a major airline sued the tobacco companies be­ cause they had to work in the smoking sections of planes thus developing health problems. If anything, they should have sued their employer who did not provide a healthy workplace. But, enough steam... It seems that tobacco com­ panies do not mind paying the gigantic settlement sums. When the first $300 billion settlement was reached, a TV station mentioned that to reimburse the costs, the tobacco industry will have to increase the price of cigarettes just 10 cents per pack. Any of you smokers our there, would you pay these ten cents, or would you rather quit smoking? The CNN news presenter smiled and stud: "We have another story related to tobacco-industry this morning. RJ Reynolds has been accused of unfair advertising. Their ads claim that the cigarettes con­ tain no additives when in fact there are six percent of additives." Well, next time you watch "fat-free cookies" or "perfect headache medicine" commercials, make sure they are "fair." �Page 4 TheAppalachl;n28 '''T Letters to the Editor Hope for Appalachian community not lost To the Editor: There is a great moment in the movie Contact, featuring Jodie Foster as a brilliant and passion­ ate young astronomer, when Foster's character charges her former boss with having lied pub­ licly in order to gain popular ap­ proval. When Foster confronts him, he chides her for her naivete, telling her, "we don't live in that kind of a world." "That's funny," Foster's character retorts. "I always believed that the world is what we make it." I was so struck by this simple and elegant principle that I printed it out in large letters and posted it above my desk: 'The world is what we make it." If you don't want to live in a world full of liars, be someone who tells the truth. If you want to live in a world in which people are courageous, be coura­ geous. If you want to be respected, treat others with respect. We hear a lot about the loss of public civility these days. Open a newspaper or turn on the TV and someone will be mourning the demise of common courtesy in our public interactions-rude drivers, people who curse, spit, or drop cigarette butts in public places, store clerks (or customers)who don't say please or thank you. Those who report such news sound somber; we as hearers shake our heads. No one wants it to happen, but there you have it. Public life has lost any sense of civility. We act as though civility was some rare species that, once vanished from the earth, can never be re­ stored. Yet, the world is what we make it. If we want to live in a world in which people behave civ­ illy, we need to start doing so our­ selves. Appalachian is an intentional community, not some chance gath­ ering of stranger. Webster's defines community as a group of people who live together with "interests, work, etc. in common"; a "friendly association" or "fellowship." At Appalachian, those of us who serve the meals, take the classes, mow the lawns, shelve the books, teach the courses, and fix the comput­ ers all depend on one another. We can make each others' lives miser­ able through our thoughdessness and self-centeredness, or we can live as a true community in which we acknowledge our interdepen­ dence. With this in mind, I offer a modest proposal for living in com­ munity: * Interact with people you don't know. As you walk across campus, look people in the eye. Smile and say hello. Strike up conversations. * Think about the people around you. Before you act, con­ sider those who will hear you, see you and have to clean up after you. * Be slow to assume that other people are stupid. More likely the student, professor, cashier or park­ ing attendant who angered you was distracted, tired or otherwise at the end of his or her rope. Be generous with forgiveness. When you disagree, do so respectfully. * If you're wrong, say so. If you've offended someone, apolo­ gize. Be more concerned with the other person's feeling that with defending yourself. * Adopt the language of civility: Thank you. Please. Excuse me. Help to create the kind of com­ munity you want to live in. The world is what we make it. Dr. Kristina K. Groover Department of English We want writer to show their stuff on a regu|; basis.

You came here because you hoped to lived in a panoramic display of awe- inspiring moun­ tains, surrounding a quaint little college town. OK. Well, maybe Boone's not so quaint. And your hiking boots haven't served a purpose other than to compliment those khakis. If only you could get away and do some hiking! Realize your dream. Just within the Boone area there are many great opportuni­ ties to get out and hit the trails without spending more time driving than hiking. Joe Quinn, the Coordinator for Land Based Activities with the Outdoor Programs Department, said the area around Boone is filled with good, "well established" trails. You can choose hikes of different degrees of difficulty, de­ pending upon your experience and the type of hike you would m it tea If you're a beginner or just interested in a beautiful,but relaxing, hike, many trails in the area are not extremely strenuous but still offer /' many chances to view spectacular scenes. One popular choice is the trail system at the Moses H. Cone Memorial Park on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Quinn said these trails are great "just for the joy of hiking." He said that he often drives up to the parkway when he has a couple of spare hours and hikes these trails. There is a 0.6 mile trail that runs in a figure-eight pat­ tern located on the 3,517-acre mountain estate. The trail is self-guided and features many different medicinal herbs along the path. In addition, there are more than 22 miles of old carriage trails. These trails connect with trails for other hikers, equestrians, and cross-country skiers. A more moderately strenuous trail is the Tanawha Trail located near Grandfather Mountain. The trail has been designed, constructed and supervised at the cost of $700,000, resulting in an exceptionally beautiful and well-maintained trail. The Tanawha Trail is 13.4 miles long and inter­ sects with such trails as the Boone Fork Trail, the Grandfather Trail and the Rich Mountain Trail sys­ tem. The Rich Mountain Carriage Trail is a terrific hike which receives little traffic. Along this trail one can view such wonderful sights as Gran tain, Calloway Peak Overlook, Raven Rocks Overlook and the Linn Cove Via duct, not to mention lush forests filled with hardwoods, rhododendrons, witch hazel and blueberry bushes. In many parts of the trail, the areas surrounding the paths are very frag­ ile as they pass over rocky overhangs. It is an ideal place to have day hikes, but camping overnight is not permitted. Camping can be done, however, in nearby Price Park or in the Grandfather Mountain Park. Fee permits are required for both hiking and camping in Grandfather Mountain. Obtain permits at Footsloggers for $5. A little further down the road is the Linville Gorge Trail'.' This is a strenuous trail with an elevation change of 2,025 ft. In order to get to the trail it's easiest to follow several other trails in from the junction of NC-183 and SR-1238. There is a parking area where Pine Gap Trail will lead to Bynum Bluff Trail and finally to the Linville Gorge Trail. The trail itself is 11.5 miles long. If you're planning on venturing out on any of the hikes listed, there are several things to keep in mind. First, stay out of the poison ivy. Second, practice low impact hiking. v Use common sense and don't litter or leave human waste exposed. Trails are there for a purpose, so don't trek off into the wilderness and give it any more of a human touch. Large groups will almost always leave a dent in nature. ^ Third, observe the laws. Several parks and forests have fees for hik- ,ijfc, ana. - ing. Grandfather Mountain is the most •' notable. The trails have to be main. r-i# tained and preserved somehow.

Postcards from Germany iethany Bethany Parrish Photography Editor take. take We were students from Appa­ lachian State University and The University of San Diego. Forsak­ ing our homes, language and cul­ ture, we allowed ourselves to be Germans for a summer. Two ASU professors, Kevin Kennedy and Anneliese Foerster, awaited our arrival in Wurzburg, Germany. From July 1 to July 31, we were immersed in an entirely different culture and an entirely different language. We stayed in dorms with stu­ dents from Germany. Our group was split into three classes: Begin­ ning German 1010-1020, Interme­ diate German 1040-1050, and Con­ versation 1-2. The trip consisted of two classes that lasted a total of four hours per day and traveling excursions in the afternoons and on weekends. Each morning we rose from our dorm-room beds and trampled across the street to our classroom. But the cafeteria ladies were nice and saved us all the leftover food and gave it to us for free. So each day began with a piece of bread, a slice of cheese and some meat products, if you chose to par­ " The food was an experience all in itself. Our first meal in Wurzburg was a group dinner where we were served mystery meals. After they were already in our stomachs, we learned the soup's litde white and greyish balls were bone marrow and liver. After the appetizer came two pieces of meat and a big knudel. A knudel is a very tasteless combi­ nation of potato and bread rolled into an extremely large ball. I took Intermediate German 1040-1050. My class was taught by Ms. Foerster. We learned very neccessary phrases that would help us function about the city and interact with the locals. We did skits, sang songs, viewed televi­ sion, worked from a text book and conversed during class sessions. Upon arrival, we knew basic vocabulary and grammar. We were weak in what would seem to be simple pronunciation, but be­ ing in the midst of German culture, you quickly pick up everyday phrases. Weekends and afternoons were left for group activities or free time to shop and tour the town. Some of our group activities were having meals together, going to festivals, visiting the concentration Chuck's Miserable Rotten Life by Chuck Cundiff " - « Amy Todd and Bethany Parrish prepare to descend into the caves of the Austi (Photo provided by Bethany Parrish) camp in Dachau, exploring the interiors and exteriors of fortresses, palaces, and the c a s t l e headed for Baden-Baden, Baden-Baden is a city in Germany known for its great N e u s cn wa n stein and travelling to other cit­ ies in Ger­ many such as Munich.

In a year in which many expect this season to be a rebuilding one, Breedlove said, "Yes, technically it is, but it's still important to have high expecta­ tions." But how far can a team with no seniors and only three juniors go? Breedlove said, 'The goals for this year are to be competitive for the regular sea­ son championship and the tournament championship." Breedlove's coaching style will be very much like Robinson's, but she plans on running a few more offensive set plays. The Mountaineers will continue to be ag­ gressive with their man-to-man defense. They plan to continue to run their up­ tempo motion offense. "I expect the jun­ iors (Erica Mathies, Beth Schoolfield and ' Tamara Stewart) to step up this season and be leaders on and off the court," said Breedlove. " The sophomores will also have to step it up an extra level also." The recruit­ ing class is one of the best that Breedlove has ever seen at Appalachian. There will be five freshmen joining the Mountaineers this season, three of which played in the North Carolina EastWest All Star game. 'The freshmen will get a lot more playing time than freshmen normally do, especially since they make up half of the team," Breedlove said. Barbie Breedlove is from Asheville and is a graduate of Brevard College. She also attended Springfield College before getting her master's at Appalachian. She was an assistant at UNC-Asheville.

One problem Clemson has had in the past is not being able to complete vital passes. For example, in 1996 the Tigers couldn't beat Louisiana State University in the Peach Bowl because of the passing problem. The most troublesome area for the Tigers is their secondary. Due to the youth present in the secondary, Clemson will be susceptible to big plays. However there is experience in Clemson's defensive backfield. Leading a foursome of experienced players is strong safety Antwan Edwards. In order for the Mountaineers to have a chance of sneaking out of Death Valley with a victory, they will have to capitalize on Clemson's mistakes. However, this series has had little to do with Clemson's mistakes. ~ftrO r*» i ! •* 96' VJ - SH A ~ rS 4 )l r * !U • - •' ; * Jr-j**. • < 2 Appalachian defensive stand out Jackie Avery prepares for Clemson (Photo by omen s Soccer: Not the same game in '97 • )avid Jackson Staff Writer The Appalachian State University 'omen's soccer team ended the1996 seaon a bit of a sour note.

Junior Mark uphill led all Mountaineers h 51 shots on goal while shing fifth in points with six on season. Along with the addition of hman Gabe Story, the Apps uld feature a solid scoring ick and the leadership essary to field a competitive n in the Southern Conference. Rex believes that the key to this season is getting out of the gate quickly. Four of their first five opponents had a combined record last season of 35-41-1. "If we start out hot, we'll be on a roll come time to play Furman," Rex said. "Last year we were an average college soccer team, we just got off to a bad start. in the National Soccer Coaches Association/Umbro poll in 1996, spending most of the season ranked 2nd. This year, the Spartans begin the season ranked ninth nationally by the NSCA and 10th by Soccer America. With 1996 SC regular season and tournament champion Furman set to have another strong season, positioning becomes vital as the season progresses. Similar to women's basketball in previous years, the top four teams in the standings at season's end will host a first round playoff game, with the winners traveling to Greenville, S.C. to compete for the t o u r n a m e n t championship. This new scenario gives Rex' team added incentive to keep pace in the conference race. "Our goal is to be in a position to host a playoff game here at Appalachian," Rex replied. "We want to remain competitive for the conference championship all year, and our kids know what it takes to play at that level."

Correction A news brief that ran Aug. 21 listed the date of the Douglas Miller/John Coffey Faculty Recital as Monday, Aug. 26. The correct date is Tuesday, Aug. 26. Get in Touch Darin Glass: 262-6149 Easiness Office: 262-2157 & Sports: 262-6233 News Features & Editorials: 262-3104 News Editor Open visitation was approved by14 campus residence halls last week as 3,723 students exercised their right to choose. Effective Wednesday, Aug. 27, all dorms will have 24 hour visitation privi­ leges. Students were asked to vote for one of three possible visitation options. Op­ tion A offered visitation from noon to midnight Sunday through Thursday and from noon to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday. Option B allowed visitation hours from noon to 2 a.m. Sunday through Sat­ urday, and Option C proposed open visi­ tation. The voting options brought 95 per­ cent of the on-campus population to resi­ dence hall lobbies, where 93 percent of residents favored Option C. Option B received votes from 1.4 percent of residents and Option A was chosen by 0.5 percent. Approximately 5 percent of residents did not vote. Assistant Director of Residence Life Scott R Ranger described voter turnout as amazing. "We're all a little taken back by the amount of (voter) support," he said. "People took investment that (visi­ tation) would affect them." Though new to some students, vot­ ing to decide residence hall visitation poli­ cies has been used in the past, said Vice Chancellor for Student Development Gre­ gory S. Blimling. Blimling said students voted annu­ ally on visitation up until two years ago, when visitation was decided for each resi­ dence hall based on historical precedence within each dorm. Dorms that tradition­ ally chose open visitation through voting were assigned such. Lovill, Frank, and Belk Halls were the only dorms with restricted visitor ac­ cess last year, according to Blimling. The decision to ask students to vote on visitation came from a recommenda­ tion made by the chancellor's task force Civil case filed against ASU officials Darin Glass Editor-in-Chief A complaint was filed against Chan­ cellor Francis T. Borkowski and Vice Chancellor of Student Development Gre­ gory S. Blinding on August 6 by three stu­ dents. The plaintiffs in the case are Kendrick Byrd, Gordon Fenderson and Rodney Thomas. All three were on the ASU football team last season. Last semester a university judicial board found five male students guilty of "lewd, indecent, or obscene conduct". The charges stemmed from an incident with six students and a female freshman. Fenderson and Thomas were among the five. Byrd was acquitted on all charges. Thomas transferred to the University of Northern Alabama before the end of last semester. According to records filed in Watauga County's Superior Court, the complaint claims the defendants' actions violated the plaintiffs' rights under cer­ tain articles of the North Carolina Con­ stitution. Other claims by the plaintiffs' law­ yer state violations of public policy and violations of the plaintiffs' rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the federal Constitution. The complaint asks for compensa­ tory damages for mental anguish, pain and suffering and harm to the plaintiffs' economic opportunities. see Civil case on page 2 Dormitory visitation policy vote results Dormitory Total Residents Option A votes Option g QptionX % for Option C 281 94.3 289 97.6 Lovill 197 86.8 White 228 83.8 Coffey 98 93.3 283 96.3 329 93.7 Gardner 263 91.0} Coltrane 278 96-.2 Justice 305 95.6 165 89'.2 215 95 .6 270 j * u 296 351 Frank jynmaBIwn c6&eib Bowiiffj | *HHk _ Doughton, Newland and Winkler Halls, Appalachian Heights and Mountaineer Apartments id not have to vote since the majority of their residents are upperclassmen. on student life. Blimling said options of­ fered to students in this year's vote were formulated from options presented in pre­ vious years. However, options offered to students could change before next year's vote, Blimling said. "We might add a fourth option next year," he said. "We're open to suggestion." Blimling said future options could be formed based on input from students, describing Appalachian's Campus Resi­ dent Student Association (CRSA). The chancellor's task force also rec­ ommended that each vote be passed by a certain percentage of residents of each hall. "(We) wanted to see a fair represen­ tation of all people in the building, since visitation affects everyone," Blimling said. When asked if he was surprised by the results of the vote, Blimling said, "Sur­ prised that students voted for the maxi­ mum amount of freedom within the resi­ dence halls? Not really." AppCards accepted at Tradewinds Kevin Burnette Staff Writer AppCards equipped with a univer­ sity meal plan are now accepted as ten­ der at Tradewinds Coffee House in the Student Union. Since its opening in spring of 1997, Tradewinds has accepted only cash and Appalachian Express cards. "(In the past) the meal plan for the students had been used explicidy for the university food services," said Director of Food Services Ron Dubberly. Dubberly said Tradewinds initially offered the university a cut of the profit last spring. Top: ASU student Brandon C. Waite uses his AppCard to buy a cup of coffee from Tradewinds employee Andy D.

Jason Foster Staff Writer The summer of 1997 marked the inauguration of a re­ quired reading assignment for incoming freshmen, an assign­ ment to be completed before the start of the fall semester. The required text, Julia Alvarez's "In theTime of the But­ terflies," tells the true story of four sisters who risked their lives by participating in the resistance to the Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo in 1960. The book was chosen by a committee of faculty members because of its powerful mes- sages of personal development, freedom and courage. The com­ mittee felt such messages should be heard by college students. After reading the novel, freshmen participated in discus­ sion sessions led by faculty mem­ bers during Phase II Orientation. In addition to the initial dis­ cussions, the book may be dis­ cussed in more detail in classes such as Freshmen Seminar and English 1000 and 1100. "We wanted the students to start their semester with an aca­ demic emphasis, but in a way that would also engage students," said program co-chairman Jimmy Smith.

Derrick added that student health fees paid with tuition are not enough to cover all costs, so the health center must make stu­ dents pay for certain items. Derrick said the student health fee has risen about four dol­ lars this year to compete with sal­ ary increases. Further increases are not realistic, as the general admin­ istration of the University of North Carolina system is attempting to restrict the amount students can be charged in fees. With this, Derrick explained, the health center is placed in com­ petition with other campus depart­ ments for funding. In the future, health services will be forced to either generate their own funds or decrease the services that they offer to students, Derrick said. This decision will depend on student input. "I'm really committed to making the student health center accessible (to) students," said Der­ rick. Although it is too early in the semester to determine student re­ action to the price increases, Fotta said many students have already purchased health maintenance items without complaint. "Students are surprised (by the increase), but are still willing to pay the price," he said.

The Appalachian Fairness, Accuracy and Public Service since 1934 Bumper to Bumper: Parking problems at Appalachian Part one Now that ASU students have started classes and problems with professors start to arise, there is one more problem added to the list: parking. The site for the new Convocation center is being built where the Brown parking lot used to be and Raley parking lot is no longer an option for students. Where are we supposed to park? Does the North Carolina University system know that with expansion comes parking problems? If you look around campus, beyond the in­ creasing number of orange cones and barechested construction workers, there is limited Space for expansion and much less parking. Expansion is inevitable whether we like it or not. The university cannot really help it, but they can try to lessen the blow. It is not only getting crowded on campus but in Boone in general. Even on a Monday af­ ternoon there are delays everywhere you go. Students make up the majority of the town and with more coming in each year the situa­ tion gets worse. Parking spaces are a valuable Commodity and when some of those are taken away for expansion, there needs to be compen­ sation. Students are not the only ones suffering the pinch in the parking lot. Even the professors have had a hard time squeezing into spaces. How would you like to get to campus sev­ eral hours before class starts and have no park­ ing spot when the university acctually pays for you to be there? The situation in Boone is getting so bad that plans for a bypass around Boone are in the works. They have to build a way around us now because we are getting too big for our britches. Another important question: does Boone ; have the capacity for anymore expansion? Will die locals be pushed over the mountainside? Will this expansion be worth it in the end or will we be left with hundreds of trees cut down in the name of education? Some students now try to park on King Street trying to dodge the parking officers who roam the street in search of those parking longer than one hour. Is it less expensive to pay some of those parking tickets or to pay some guy for a parking spot outside his garage? These are the sort of dilemmas that students and professors do not need when burdened with classes that take up so much time and energy. The old adage, "That's life," does not cut it in this situation. The university created the prob­ lem with extensive construction and they should help to alleviate it. Read Thursday for possible solutions Rock around the clock Well, we are indeed surprised. The students of this fine institution have let their voices be heard and boy, was it loud. The staff of The Appalachian commends oncampus students for telling the powers-that-be what they want in no uncertain terms. With a mandate like the one delivered last week, there is no way the administration can ignore what students want. We hope you guys get the kicks you want out of the open visitation. See what happens when you care. Opinion :'A.' Sam Streed Columnist "Didn't find what you needed today?" is the phrase in bold print on the little green slips avail­ able in the front lobby of Belk library. Chances are, if you frequent Belk library, you have this problem often. In a comparison of North Carolina libraries taken in 1994, Appalachian's Belk Library is figured as hav­ ing a mere 54 books per student available. At first glance this statistic may not seem bad at all, but when pitted against other North Carolina university librar­ ies, this figure is incredibly embarrassing. In this survey, Belk Library is ranked behind such state schools as UNC-CH (191 bps), UNC-A (118 bps), UNC-G (83 bps), and Western Carolina (80 bps). Less funding pier student is allocated to Appalachian stu­ dents for library resources than any other of our state's universities (only $72 per student behind Fayetteville State). Keeping these figures in mind, along with an in­ terminable list of similar statistics, there is little ar­ gument that Belk Library, to put it harshly, sucks. There is money for more books but no shelves to put them on and its seating capacity is 50 percent below national recommendations for college libraries. The solution to this problem is obvious: build a new library. This solution may seem simple when considering the numerous other construction endeav­ ors the ASU administra­ tion has chosen to em­ bark upion. But if it is that simple, how can one explain the giant mud pit that will eventually become the illustrious convocation center? Why were millions of dollars allocated for this monstrosity when a new library is so badly and evidently needed? One word answers these and so many other questions: bu­ reaucracy. The reason the con­ vocation center is pri­ oritized above a new li­ brary is deeply rooted in administrative efforts As evidenced by these empty shelves, Belk Library is suffering in to gain clout and invest­ the midst of extensive construction.

What could they be doing in there? Everything you wanted to know (and didn ft) about women's bathrooms Matt Bielejeski Columnist My article this week is focused on the perspec­ tive of the male reader. Females may be slightly of­ fended by this piece. If so, you can't take a joke and need months of therapy. Chuck and his best friend Ron are having dinner with their respective others, Cordelia and Lulabelle. Dinner is a special occasion, as today marks each couple's five month anniversary. Appetizers have already been devoured and the prime ribs are on their way. Suddenly, Lulabelle excuses herself to the ladies' room, and Cordelia immediately follows. Ron and Chuck are left to discuss football, pork rinds and microbrewing until the females return to elevate the level of conversation. Has this ever happened to you? A pleasant din­ ner is occurring, then the migration begins. What most people don't know is this: the communication between females at a dinner table is very similar to CIA operatives. The first female who feels to urge to go to the "powder room" employs a number of techniques to alert her female companions to the impending exo­ dus. The first step is eye contact. The initiating fe­ male, hereafter referred to as the "culprit", scans the eyes of all available females at the table, hoping to catch their attention. After their attention has been captured, the culprit uses a series of winks, glances toward the restroom area, and various facial contor­ tions to signal her intent. If the eye contact is not working well, the culprit moves on to step two: footsie. It is at this stage that men developed the idea that footsie is some sort of sexual game. However, this misconception was due to incorrect footsie applications by the culprit. Footsie used for its true purpose is a very difficult signaling technique to master. This is why it can be used in­ correctly so easily. Proper footsie use involves tap­ ping the other female's shins in the Morse Code sig­ nal for S.O.S. A signal this complex can easily be misapplied, resulting in the rubbing of male legs in the attempt to communicate the message. Step three is the least used and most dangerous step, nicknamed "the Clumsy One." Usage of this step almost always includes the culprit having to foot the dry cleaning bill of some sort. To effectively use the Clumsy One, the culprit must have unsuccessfully attempted the first two steps twice each, both to no avail. At this point, she selects a male victim. Once the victim is selected, the culprit must ex­ amine the dinner table and choose a food or condi­ ment that can easily be knocked onto the unsuspect­ ing victim. Items such as ketchup, mashed potatoes or mixed drinks work well here. Using her arm, hand or any other needed appendage, the culprit "acciden­ tally" douses the selected victim with the chosen food or food condiment. As the male rises to go to the men's room to try and eliminate the stain, the fe­ males bolt for the ladies' room, using the chaos cre­ ated by the "accident" as a backdrop for their true purpose. Once the herd of females have entered into the bathroom en masse, the ritual application begins. Right next to the soap dispenser at the sink is a simi­ lar dispenser which has a blue-looking liquid con­ tained within. This dispenser is the reason that women go to the bathroom in groups: easy applica­ tion of the Cure for Baldness. The Cure for Baldness, developed in 1900 by a woman scientist named Dr. Susan Powters, gives the user's hair follicles a jump-start for hair production. In short, a hair-growing steroid. Think about the number of bald men in the world compared to the number of bald women. This ratio is staggeringly lopsided. The reason? The Cure for Baldness, of course. Now that the women have arrived at the hair sanctuary that is the ladies room, the application process begins. In order for the Cure to be applied evenly and without blotchiness, someone must help the applicant get the spots on the back of their head that they cannot see, hence the need for women go­ ing to the bathroom in groups. Without others to help the applicant, the applicant's head could re­ semble Papa Smurfs own blue chrome-dome, result­ ing in male comments about the blue substance that would lead to discovery and eventually mass-mar­ keting of the product for male use. So now, when you're at dinner and the females start getting jumpy, you can smile to yourself and be self-assured that you actually know what's going on in there. Of course, now that this article is published, the Hair Club for Men will start secret operations involving cross-dressing undercover agents to obtain a sample of the Cure. But that's a whole different story... Campus Perspectives Question: What do you think of the parking situation at ASU?

I am hearing nasty rumors that the As the article implies, there are 82 students, the majority if not all of which are freshmen, living in temporary or crowded living con­ ditions. I would imagine this would make for a bad college ex­ perience, which would thus lead to a higher number of transfers or dropouts and would require in the next year to import more freshmen to keep up quota. Since returning students get priority, the housing committee which won 'Best Lawn' three years in a row would be forced to house the horde of in­ coming freshmen in the pool's locker room and somehow cause the world to convert to cannibalism. It seems that those innocent envelopes were the folly of this school. Instead of seeing freshmen comfortably and sanitarily moved in, and actually providing a place for them to stay, this institution is focusing on merely getting fresh­ men enrolled.

"You know, Jenkins, freshmen are known for their resiliency; studies show they can fit into shoe boxes...It's all so convenient really, since we don't have enough space for them in the first place."

You start to panic. There is no way that you want to miss The Simpsons and waste countless hours searching the stacks. So, instead of taking the time to go all the way to Belk Library and search for the right Library of Congress number, you succumb to the wisdom of your roommate who tells you to just go look up your topic on the internet. Within a few seconds, your computer screen is filled with links to various rel­ evant sites. Now you're ready to write your paper, right? User, beware: this may be hazardous to your GPA's health. It seems easy, but there are many pro­ fessors who might not look kindly on a paper with the Internet as a main source. Pat Morgan, a professor in the Politi­ cal Science department, only allows his students to pull information from two Internet sites when writing a paper. "I do this because I've found that the quality of information on the Internet is less than other sources," said Morgan. Morgan added that sometimes stu­ dents get information from sites that go off-line quickly, making it hard for him to check up on the information.

Guess what? It's so Ptetty good. ^ .Cameron Poe (Nicholas Cage) is a Fmer Army Ranger who talks like , est Gump and kicks some serious butt. He goes to jail for killing a hick in a bar brawl and is paroled after serving a couple years of hard time. Apparendy, the time Poe spent was not hard enough to break the perky good atti­ tude he displays throughout the movie. He is put on the first prison transport plane home to see his wife and the daughter he has never met. Of course, the rest of the plane's oc­ cupants are the worst criminals in the state, led by Cirus "The Virus" Grissom (John Malkovich) and Diamond Dog (Ving Rhames). These guys are just oudandishly bad enough to be lovable. They hijack the plane, and guess which parolee has to save the day? This movie moves too fast to breathe. It is best compared to an AC/DC album; both are immature, overblown and very loud, but are still a lot of silly fun. If the dialogue or the acting in this movie had been any more preposterous the movie would have been a disaster. Thankfully, all of the crucial compo­ nents fall into place. The cast is composed of experienced actors and actresses who have a lot of fun with the parts. John Cusack plays a U.S. Marshal who must drive really fast and scream really loud to make sure a rabid DEA agent does not blow the plane out of the air. Steve Buscemi (Mr. Pink from "Reservoir Dogs") seems to enjoy the role of a laid-back se­ rial killer who is taken along for the plane ride. In addition to great actors, Simon West directs with a flawless sense of tim­ ing that matches the action perfecdy. Most of the movie is unbelievable. But, it's definitely worth the $1.50.

Not so hot dogs Meg Mulhearn Staff Writer Health Perspective From ballparks to street vendors, the hot dog has become a symbol of the American junk food culture. But hot dog eaters, beware. Those American favorites may ensure that consumers don't see many more ball games. A March 1994 study appearing in "Cancer Causes and Control," by Sara Sarasua and David A. Savitz of the Uni­ versity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, links the consumption of all-meat hot dogs with cancer. In the study, children who con­ sumed one hot dog a week faced twice the risk of a brain tumor as those who ate none. Andnow, thisfrequent guest at cookouts, barbecues and supermarkets around the world is making a fresh appearance on the ASU menu this se­ mester. Suzanna K. Roberts, a freshman from Greenville, has her own opinions of what may be in the meat product. "(Hot dogs) are disgusting and full of fat," she said. "I mean, they are the intestines of a pig." But, what really is in those things? The actual contents of the All-American hot dog has always been a source of mystery for the nutritionally-minded. According to Oscar Meyer, the lead­ ing ingredients in its all-beef hot dog presently served in Cascades are beef water, salt, corn syrup, and dextrose. But the real concern is whether or not they contain heterocyclic amines (HCAs) which may be formed by the browning process of the meat and may be carcinogens. According to a 1996 USDA survey on college eating, 56 percent of students say that they regularly watch the amount of fat they eat. In response to the demand for lower fat foods and the pos­ sibility of other health risks, ASU Food Ser­ vices has started of­ fering fatfree and meatless hot dogs at Cas­ cades in the s t u d e n t "They [vegetarian hot dogs] taste about the same [as the all-beef hot dogs] to me without all of the carcinogens," Cardwell said. The vegetarian hot dogs contain seven grams of fat, only one of these saturated. Saturated fats are those most responsible for heart disease and caitEnosdeiosis. T h e vegetarian hot dogs are also a good source of protein, an essential nu­ trient found in meats but often lack­ ing in many vegetarian's diets. I think it adds a new flair to the avail­ ability of foods for vegetarians on campus," said Megan Henkels, a freshman union. Kara M. Downie, a freshman from Char­ lotte, is a fre­ quent nonfat hot dog con­ sumer. "I think it's great that they f r o m don't have Greenville, any fat," she SC. said, "but I'd Ta k rather eat ing the hard them in Will W.

Along with the loss of perhaps what many consider to be the best line­ backer tandem in Mountaineer history, with Dexter Coakley and Joe Dibernardo, there are questions that remained to be answered about this part along with ev­ ery other part of this young Mountaineer squad. What the Mountaineers do have is an experienced quarterback in Bake Baker. Baker proved he was one of the better passers in the league, coming in during the second half of the Georgia Southern game last year and lead­ ing the Mountain­ eers to a 35-28 victory in Jerry Moore, Baylor, 1960 Statesboro, Geor­ (62-33 ASU,89-81overall) gia.

With the loss of 22 seniors, and ie fewest returning starters in the South­ ern Conference, with six, it's not a likeli­ hood that Appalachian State will be in contention for the Southern Conference Championship. "We're awfully young, but we do have good leaders," said Mountaineer coach Jerry Moore. "There are a lot of kids that have been around the program for four or five years." The Mountaineers in short Coach: Moore's record: ASU's All time record: Last playoff apperance: 1996 record: Top returning players: Key losses: Key Games: Definite Wins: Predicted finish: ing the football." Moore said, "It seems to me that we have a good group of re­ ceivers." However, don't look for Ap­ palachian to abandon the running game. Starting at tailback this year, will be Gerard Hardy. After a less than stellar performance in the first five games at quarterback last year, Hardy will be in the backfield doing what he does best, rushing the ball. "The real reason why Gerard was at quarterback to start out with was his running ability, not his throwing abil­ ity." Moore commented. "If you give him(Hardy) the ball 25-30 times a game, good things are going to happen. I think Gerard will have a good year at running back" Shawn Clark, who moved from guard to tackle, anchors a vastly inexpe­ rienced offensive line. Guard Tony Bequette (6-1, 254) and center Scott Wil­ liams (6-4, 268) saw time last year, and Cedrone Hodges (6-2,273) who changed positions from defensive tackle, and redshirt freshmen Bryan Metts (6-1,262), Billy Young (6-5, 270) and Jason Godlewski (6-4, 295) will all hold to­ gether the offensive line. Defensively, the Mountaineers will be led by Jackie Avery at defensive tackle. Joining Avery up front will be defensive ends Steve Carson, (6-2, 241) and Rocky Hunt (6-1, 2.43) Appalachian considerably lacks depth in the secondary. The status of Ken Byrd and Gordon Fenderson is question­ able at best. Byrd and Fenderson were disci­ plined along with two other players af­ ter a student said she was sexually as­ saulted last January. August 12, a judge granted an injunction preventing the school from barring the students. Byrd has been practicing With the team while Fenderson hasn't. Returning for the Mountaineers however will be Elando Johnson and L.J. Brooks both at cornerback. Jon Duncan and Chuck Payne, who both saw consid­ erable time at strong safety will be back for the '97 season. Former line­ backer Earl Hunter has moved to strong safety and is expected to make a heavy impact. Bake Baker will start this year as the number one signal-caller for the Mountaineers. Balance of power changes in SC with departure of Marshall Justin Griffin Sports Editor up for grabs in the parity-ridden Southern Conference. No team except Appalachian State has fewer than 15 starters returning. Furman looks to take advantage of the situation with every major starter back from last year but quarterback Branniff Bonaventure. "I think everyone picks Furman," said Appalachian State Coach Jerry Moore. "Georgia Southern will be better." If Furman's offense doesn't produce, the title could go to Georgia Southern, who returns the best quarterback in the Southern Conference, Kenny Robinson. The Eagles return 18 starters from a team that finished the season with a sub-par 4-7 season, Georgia Southern's eighth losing season in history. Third place in the conference race will either go to Appalachian or East Prediction #1: Marshall will not Tennesee State. The Mountaineers return win the Southern Conference six starters and will have better team speed Championship. In fact, Marshall will never this year, but have lost a great deal of win another Division I-AA championship experience along the offensive line and again. With Marshall defected to the Midspecial teams. America Conference, the title is once again East Tennesee State lost quarterback Greg Ryan and coach Mike Cavan at the end of the 1996 season. New coach Paul Hamilton returns 17 starters and will be expected to put a competitive team on the field for his first season. The rest of the conference will be rounded out by Wofford, The Citadel, VMI, Western Carolina and Tennesee Chattanooga. Tenn - Chattanooga, aided by the construction of a new state-of-the art football arena, is trying to rebuild a program that has been in shambles for the past couple of years. Chattanooga will be the host school for the NCAA division I-AA play-offs for 1997-98. Wofford comes into the conference a mediocre talent at best The Terriers are experienced from last year, returning 20 starters, but played a schedule consisting of mainly Division II cupcakes. Wofford's Dan Williams is listed by The Sporting News as the Southern Conference's top NFL prospect. Williams, a 6-3 325 pound center, had 20 knock down blocks in a six game period during the 1996 season. With Williams paving the way, Wofford had the second best rushing attack in Division I-AA. Western Carolina returns an excellent backfield and plenty of overall team experience. However, game experience is not the same as experience in winning. The Catamounts return the Senior tailback Gerard Hardy gets ready for his new spot in the Mountaineer offense at practice last Friday. Hardy was Appalachian's starting quarterback at the beginning of last season, (photo by Melissa Henao) conference's top passer in Josh Brooks, who amassed 1,718 yards and 13 touchdowns last year. Newly hired VMI coach Ted Cain will try to find a way to fill the void left by departed running back Thomas Haskins, who rushed for 1,698 yards. All the other components from last year's 4-7 team remain. The Citadel returns their backfield from last year of Stanley Myers and Kenyatta Spruill. Myers hadl,073 yards of total offense and Spruill rushed for 924 yards In what will be one of the more parity-ridden years for the Southern Conference, anyone could win the championship. There is no team that is going to run away with the title. The only one prediction that will end up true in the end is this: Marshall isn't wining it.

The event, which has drawn be­ tween 5,000 and 7,000 students since it began in 1994, was canceled by the Chancellor's cabinet because a suitable site could not be chosen to hold such a large volume of people, said David Robertson, director of Student Programs. "We were prepared to have (the block party). We just had no place to hold it," Robertson said. Sanford Mall and the Whitener Hall parking lot were initially considered as sites for the block party, but both loca­ tions proved to be problematic, Robertson said. Sanford Mall was considered be­ cause of its central location to campus, but the potential damage to the mall's extensive landscaping disqualified it. "The university has spent a lot of money of the last few years to get the mall in shape and make it a nice place for students to hang out," Robertson said. "Having that many people there might have done a lot of damage to it." "With all of the construction going on, it's also one of the few green areas we've got on campus," Robertson said. Whitener lot was also considered, but its proximity to the town of Boone made having the party there an impossi­ bility. "The block party typically goes on until 3 a.m.," Robertson said. "We were worried that some of the loud music might disturb the town's residents." In place of the block party, Student Programs offered several smaller activi­ ties which included a cookout on Sanford Mall, basketball and volleyball at the Quinn Centei; bowling and billiard spe­ cials at Plemmons Student Union and an outdoor presentation of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off' at Duck Pond Field. Upper Stadium, last year's party site, now dances to the music of bulldozers, (photo by Bethany Parrish) "We had a problem for which there was no easy solution," said Barbara Daye, associate vice chancellor for Student Development. "We hope the students understand that." Students did express some dissatis­ faction. "I'm really disappointed," said Emma Johansen, a freshman from Char­ lotte who had heard about the block party from friends. "They told me how great it was last year. I was really looking forward New franchises offer dining variety Jay Konstantaras Staff Writer If you build it, they will come. Two national fast food vendors, Chick-Fil-A and Stone Willy's Pizza, became the latest additions to Appala­ chian State University's Food Services earlier this week. Chick-Fil-A, which serves chicken sandwiches and other chicken products, opened for business Hiesday in the east side of Welborn Cafeteria. Stone Willy's Pizza, a pizza vendor serving mostly colleges and universities, opened Sat­ urday in the Food Court. Director of Food Services Ron Dubberly said the process of bringing both restaurants to campus took a lot longer than expected. "We approached several franchises several years ago, but we kept hitting road blocks," he said. Fast food chains with existing franchises in the area were prohibited from opening restau­ rants on campus, making the search for new vendors dif­ ficult, Dubberly said. "The existing franchises already had the rights to the Junior Monica L. Glover visits the new Chick-Fil-A. (photo by Bethany Parrish) see Dining on page 4 to it." 'The whole point of the block party is to see everybody," said Andrew Adair, a junior from Burlington. 'The smaller stuff is nice, but you don't really see anybody." Some students didn't mind that the party was canceled. "I usually don't go to the block party anyway," said Nancy Gradia, a junior from Jacksonville, Fla. "It's not really my atmosphere." "I'm disappointed, but not crushed," said Donna Laramee, a sophomore from Lincolnton. "I've found several of my friends already anyway." Whether or not the block party will be held in the future has yet to be decided. Robertson said he would like to see it re­ turn when the necessary space becomes available. "It's become a great way for students to socialize and get re-acquainted," he said. "It's been a good move in the past."

Staff Writer �Page 2 The Appalachian 2l ^ % Dorm overflow an expected problem Loss of space forces parking reassignment New residence hall may not he best solution to annual overcrowding Beth Bliss News Editor A need to ensure full occu­ pancy in campus residence halls has left 54 students living in over­ flow space until permanent assign­ ments can be made, according to Brad Reid, director of housing. Housing officials expect this situation annually. "History has told us (to expect) 40 vacancies due to no-shows and withdraw­ als," Reid said. Overflow students are as­ signed temporary living space in residence hall seminar rooms. Cur­ rently, 24 women and 16 men are living in groups of four in 10 semi­ nar rooms located in Belk, Frank and Bowie Halls, Reid said. The rooms accommodate four students and are furnished with beds, storage space and a table with four chairs, Reid said. In addition to the 40 ex­ pected overflow students, 14 women have been placed in tem­ porary assignments in East Hall. The women are grouped in "triples," a term used by Reid to describe a two-person room occu­ pied by three people. The additional shortage re­ sulted when unexpected freshmen were admitted this summer. "(Their admittance) was very late in the game from a housing standpoint," Reid said. The women living in triples will receive a $15 account credit per week until they are placed in permanent positions, Reid said. They should have rooms by the end of this week. Those in seminar rooms should be reassigned within the next two or three weeks, Reid said. Reid explained that this problem has potential to worsen each year. Further overcrowding issues may arise if more students choose to return to the residence halls each year. Reid said students who re­ claim their assignments are given first priority for housing, followed by freshmen and transfer students, respectively. The number of "priority one" students has steadily increased for the past three years, Reid said. Of 4,880 beds available in 1997, 2,752 places were filled by stu­ dents returning to the dorms. Complications also ensue if new freshman enrollment exceeds that of the previous year, Reid said. As overcrowding within the residence halls seems to worsen each year, is budding a new residence hall the best so­ lution? According to Director of Housing Brad Reid, the answer may be no. Currently, only one project is being considered. Reid said a proposal for a "liv­ ing learning center" has been offered. Such a building could house both the Watauga Col­ lege and university honors pro­ grams, with space for resident rooms, classrooms, faculty of­ fices and possibly staff apart­ ments, Reid said. However, a new resi­ dence hall is not the ultimate solution. Reid said many prob­ lems surround proposals for a new dorm. A new building is not an Because freshmen are re­ quired to live on campus their first year, Reid said finding a space for everyone can be an issue. Associate Director of Admis­ sions Cynthia Weaver verified that freshman enrollment is on the rise, immediate solution, as plan­ ning and constructing a new dorm would take approxi­ mately three years, Reid said. Location is described by Reid as the biggest roadblock. Coffey and East Halls, which currendy house the honors and Watauga programs, respec­ tively, are centrally located. More prime space simply may not be available. "A living learning center needs to be in close proximity to campus," he said. Cost is also a factor. "The building would have to be state-of-the-art," Reid said. "You're looking at a building with a nice price tag on it." The living-learning cen­ ter is, for now, only a proposal. Reid said it is the only current talk of new residence hall space. but explained that more freshmen must be admitted to meet overall enrollment requirements. Weaver said the university expected 2,200 freshmen this year, which is 168 more than expected for the 1996-1997 term. have changed for cheioJ Sherrie Huffman i!™_Accordi"s to Reconstruction of the parking system may leave some students struggling to find prime parking spaces on or near Appa­ lachian State University's cam­ pus. Approximately 400 parking spaces were lost due to construction on campus, said Roy Tugman, director of Public Safety and University Police. Student parking assign­ ments have been reassigned to accommodate the large number of incoming freshmen and re­ turning students who wish to bring cars to Appalachian, Tugman said. According to Tugman, previous policies allowed fresh­ men to park at State Farm and Horn in the West parking lots. Sophomores and com­ muters typically parked at South lot or other "outlying areas,"such as the Legends parking lot. Jun­ iors and seniors could park at South or Stadium lot.

Higman recommends that students deal with the changes in parking by finding alternatives to driving, such as riding the Appalcart, biking or walking to close destinations. Student views on the parking problem are varied. Some, like freshman Ashley Jones from Murfreesboro, Tenn., understand the problem. "I'm not really happy about (parking) because (my car) is so far away," she said. "But I'm willing to sacrifice transportation to have a nice campus." Sophomore Dan Carroll of Raleigh said, "I think it's ridiculous to put upperclassmen farther from campus. They should raise costs of parking or eliminate some spaces. "Upperclassmen deserve priority because (some people) al­ ready parked at State Farm for a year." Until changes can be made, Tugman suggests students, faculty, and staff adjust their lifestyles in order to deal with the parking dilemma.

MASTERCARD, AMERICAN EXPRESS �The Appalachian 21 August 1997 Page 5 Opinion The Appalachian Fairness, Accuracy and Public Service since 1934 Hypocrisy on campus What's to be done on an average college cam­ pus, where students want their freedom and ad­ ministrators are under constant pressure to keep things relatively calm? Usually, opinions clash and one group, usually the student body, ends up whin­ ing, screaming or posting fliers across the cam­ pus. Such a situation has come to Appalachian in full force: alleged rapes and assaults that occurred on campus and in the residence halls last year have initiated a debate on visitation policies within the halls. Under order of the administration, all dorms will be on 24-hour lock-downs, and halls must vote to agree upon a visitation policy. (See news briefs, front page.) As with any decree by university powers, the decision has been met by a lot of whining and an overall sense of hypocrisy from dormitory resi­ dents. After alleged incidents occurred on cam­ pus last year, officials were publicly chastised for supposedly "doing nothing." Press conferences were held and banners and fliers were hung, pro­ claiming that violence against women would not be tolerated on this campus. But now, talk across campus is filled with complaints that student rights are being taken away and the university has no authority to do so. It's incredibly ironic: essentially, many students have the mind-set that the univer­ sity has no right to make Appalachian a safer cam­ pus. Instead of focusing on the seemingly dictato­ rial actions of the administration, students should focus instead on their own faults and the faults of their classmates. Regardless of what the univer­ sity does to enforce safety in the residence halls, it should still be recognized that the alleged inci­ dents of last year all appear to be date or acquain­ tance rapes. In each case, the alleged victims ap­ peared to know their alleged attackers: these women were not assaulted by knife-wielding psychos lurking in dark shadows. Alcohol sup­ posedly played a role in each incident, proving again what can happen when people make fool­ ish choices that may cloud their judgment. Essen­ tially, the alleged incidents that plagued the news last year were not wholly the result of unlimited visitation hours; they were, however, a direct re' suit of bad decisions. The student body has a choice, and they can­ not complain if they do not exercise their right to make that choice. To implement a 24/7 visitation policy, 80 percent of residents within a dorm must vote in favor of the option. In larger dorms like Gardner and Coltrane, this could be quite a feat. Students with an opinion should voice their con­ cerns to fellow residents and make them aware that, finally, their opinion will specifically affect their lifestyle in their home away from home. Stu­ dents should encourage each other to vote and not just to stand by and watch their rights be de­ termined by those who do not vote. The simple truth is that students do have the final word in this situation. Do we trust each other enough to have open visitation? Or are we suspi­ cious of each other? One thing to keep in mind is that no matter how tight security is in the dorms, students will still encounter each other on cam­ pus. After all, this vote is little more than a refer­ endum on how much we trust the people we go to class with, not to mention the ones we live with. Students cannot whine anymore. The decision is literally in their hands, and the administration can no longer be accused of opressing the students' right to choose. If they don't get what they want, they won't have anyone to blame but themselves.

Never eat right before a class or you'll go right to sleep. Get your books early to avoid long lines. Simi­ larly, never go to eat at the prime dining hours of 121 p.m. or 5-7 p.m. That is, unless you like long lines or are starving. Avoid burning food if you must eat late at night. You run the risk of being ravaged by the other resi­ dents of your dorm for the friendly fire alarm. If you must drink, do it in moderation. Excess in any­ thing is stupid. Besides, no one likes a drunken ass. If your friends get plas­ tered and you're not, take care of them. Believe me, they will re­ turn the favor. Take time to talk to mom and dad. They appreciate it. Never, never, never do anything you don't want to do. Don't be pressured into something you're suspicious about. Your gut instinct will probably be right. The signs that say "Restricted Parking Area" mean it. Another important lesson I learned was to get involved. For one thing, you meet lots of cool kids. You also get something to put on your resume. Two big plusses already. Also, it can get really boring sit­ ting around the dorm all day twiddling your thumbs. Always remember though, take it easy. Don't burn yourself out.

Monopoly; a dog, a thimble and greed Matt Beilejeski Columnist Ah yes, the classic board game Monopoly. Many have played, few have prospered and even fewer have driven all other players into complete and utter eco­ nomic ruin. Sounds like a happy little game to teach the principles of economics to the younger genera­ tion, doesn't it? Sorry, but I don't think so. This vile, twisted game is the bane of all things good and wholesome. This column will reveal the not-so obvious intricacies of this bible for self-centered capitalism and materialis­ tic greed. On the other hand, the so-called "Real Estate Trading Game" from Parker Brothers does paint a somewhat accurate portrait of American economic society. Okay, you and your friends have decided to crank out another match of Monopoly. The first decision is to pick a game piece that will represent yourself ac­ curately on the game board. This decision is the first place where economic divisions are shown. Of the ten game pieces, four are symbols of basic labor: the wheelbarrow, the thimble, the boot and my favorite, the iron. Then come the military game pieces: the cannon, the cavalry rider and the battleship. The pieces that are left are symbols of affluence: the car and the top hat. The dog doesn't really fit in any­ choice. where, except I like to make him ride in the car.

As always, all trips are led by stu­ dents with a lot of experience but not a lot of attitude. Sign-ups are from 1-5 p.m. in the Outdoor Programs office in the Stu­ dent Union. Prices are very cheap, but the trips are going fast. The Whitewater Kayaking Overnight Expedition filled up the first day sign-ups were open. Many other trips, from nature hikes to caving are still available, however. 5 . The Appalachian Cultural Museum. No, this is not a moonshine exhibit. The Appalachian Mountains are a region rich in a heritage studied by scholars the world over. So, why does a University-run mu­ seum committed to that heritage go so neglected by students? See the article below for more information on why you should visit this year. 6 . Art on Campus. Metropolitan we ain't, but Appalachian does have a fantastic art program. This year there are 11 new sculp­ tures on campus, ten of which will be gone at year's end.

For those 20 freshmen, back breaklg work was a part of their first week at ppalachian as they dug in and volunered to help out the community at Cove reek Elementary School. Stan Steury, a volunteer with the Parit Teacher Student Organization (PTSO) Cove Creek said, "Usually we have ree or four volunteers show up, but toay we've got 20 . . . It's great to have -ople come help us out." Cove Creek was one of many sights here about 80 freshmen volunteered to ork. The event was co-sponsored by the terfraternity Council and the anhellenic Council. Students also volunteered at other haritable organizations like the Humane ociety, Habitat for Humanity and the merican Red Cross.

Phil Arnold, APPS Films advisoi; said the focus of this year's council is indepen­ dent films that have not come to the Boone area. "We've got some really awesome films that you'd have to go to a big city to see," he said. Included in the line-up for this semester are "Breaking the Waves" and "Secrets and Lies," both of which were nominated for Oscars. All shows are only $1, the cheapest deal in town. For more information, stop by the APPS offices in the student union. Weekend Activities Tuesday. Chancellor Francis T.

The party, hosted by Museum Educa­ tion Director John Peterson, opened with Orville Hicks telling his Master Jack tales. "Daddy didn't care much for stories so mamma would have to wait until he was out of the house. Then she would gather us around the table and round off her Jack tales," says Hicks. A Jack tale, explains Hicks, is a story about a clever boy named Jack, (does 'Jack and the Beanstalk" sound familiar?) who does not use his strength or size to outwit his enemies but uses cleverness and hu­ mor instead. Hicks' mother learned most of the sto­ nes from her mother and her grandmother and so forth down the line. The children would gather around the table and shell beans or shuck corn while listening to the stories. "I'm sure that some of the stories be­ came stretched in order to keep us work­ ing as long as possible," Hicks chuckles. Frank Proffitt, Jr. was the second per­ former of the day and a master on the Orville Hicks recites a "Jack tale" banjo and dulcimer. Proffitt belted out his to listeners Sunday.

A third cousin of Orville Hicks, Proffitt also had a few great tales to share with the audience. Other musical performers included Mary Greene and Rachel Nelson, both well-known performers and teachers in the area. These two talented ladies played almost every instrument that you could think of including the guitar, dulci­ mer, fiddle and hammer dulcimer. They had the audience singing and tapping their feet to their renditions of traditional bluegrass songs of the area. The final performer for the day was Appalachian's own Charlotte Ross, a na­ tive of Georgia and ninth-generation sto­ ryteller. A communication professor at Appalachian, Ross tells mostly stories about mountain women. As a young girl Ross says that her fam­ ily did not have a television until 1956. "All we did was sit around and watch each other and laugh until we cried," says Ross. This is how Ross collected most of her stories. Recording to Ross, the best place to collect stories about people, however, is to go the funeral parlor because whei everyone gathers to commemorate one' death, they tell the most marvelous sto ries about the individual. In a perfect Delta Burke southern ac cent, Ross gave her accounts of the moun tain women in her life when she was grow ing up. Ross believes that mountaii people offer the most unique stories. "Mountain people have an edge to us We are not saccharin sweet," says Ross.

"Having been very successful as a collegiate coach, she was looking for other things, " said athletic director Roachel Laney. 'To lose someone of her caliber is a concern because she's been Mountaineers prepare for 1997 season Season begins with Clemson Justin Griffin Sports Editor The Appalachian State football team has been gearing up for what will be an interesting season this year. With Marshall out of the picture and Wake Forrest missing from the schedule the Mountaineers have found opponents elsewhere. Instead of the traditional opener at Wake Forrest, Appalachian will play Clemson in Death Valley for only the fourth time in history. The series with Clemson has proved to be anything but friendly to the Mountaineers, who have only scored seven points against the Tiger's122 points in three meetings, the last contest between Appalachian and Clemson was a 34-0 drubbing in Death Valley on September 7,1991. Things don't appear to be any more in Appalachian's favor this year with Clemson being ranked twentieth in the nation. The rest of the schedule looks to be more manageable for the Mountaineers with less formidable oppenents from the new - look - Southern Conference. The Southern Conference will gain two new schools in the coming year with Wofford taking Marshall's place in the Football schedules and UNC - Greensboro joining the conference for all other sports. At the helm, Quarterbacking the Mountaineers will be Bake Baker, who took over the job against Georgia Southern with Four games left on the schedule. Baker ended the season on a positive note, passing for 330 yards against Virginia Millitary. Prior to Baker's performance, the last quarterback to pass for over 300 yards was Bobby Fuller, who also had 330 yards against Wake Forest on November 19,1988. Gerard Hardy, who last last year played the role of a running back trapped in the body of a quarterback will get the chance to follow his calling to run as the team's starting "I" back. Blocking for Hardy will be Kareem West at full back, who saw quite a bit of time last year as a reseve. On both the offensive and defensive lines, there is sufficient talent and experience, but little depth. Injuries could prove to be devastating. Leading the Mountaineer's defensive line will be Jackie Avery, who is °ne of the better defensive linemen of the Southern Conference. Avery capped off 1996 with 73 tackles, 14 sacks and was a first- team All Conference selection. Anchoring Appalachian's Offensive Line will be Shawn Clark. The 6-5,288 pound tackle is the only returning AH - America Selection in the Southern Conference. Clark who originally hails from Charleston, West Virginia, is only the fourth lineman at ASU to twice play 500 snaps without allowing a sack, and has not allowed a sack in the last 929 snaps. The Southern Conference race could prove to be an interesting one this year. The majority of the teams have more than 15 starters returning except for Appalachian, who has six starters returning. For the most part, the schedule for this year's football team is monotonous at best. There are four trips to South Carolina in store for the Mountaineers. The Four trips will be for the Clemson, - See Football page 12 with us so long and because of the tradi­ tion here and the quality in the program that we've had," Laney said. Robinson began coaching at Ap­ palachian in 1984. During her tenure she compiled a record of 337-173, with only two ifesing seasons to her name. The women's basketball program has had 14 winning seasons since its in­ ception in 1970, with 11 of those seasons under the guidance of Robinson Robinson was named Southern Conference Coach of the Year on four different occasions. Under Robinson the Mountaineers won Southern Conference Championships, in 1987,1988,1990,1991, and 19%. The team also made NCAA Tournament appearances in 1990, 1991, and 1996. Currently the athletic department is in the process of interviewing candidates for the head coach position and hopes to reach a decision within a week. One internal candidate is being con­ sidered for the job, but no names have been released at this time. Players are participating in the interview process as well to ensure a smooth transition. It is not anticipated that any player will leave the team because of the coaching change. "There is no good time for change but there are more critical times," Laney said. "Anytime you have change it can be hard on people. It can be hard on play­ ers, other coaches and on family so it impacts a lot of people. We're looking at that and trying to make the change as positive as possible."

"We are happy for Linda for what she chose to do," Laney said. We would still like to have Linda as our coach, but this has been her decision entirely, so we wish her well with her en­ deavors and look forward to working with her in her new position."

After thirteen years and eleven winning seasons with Appalachian women's basketball team, Linda Robinsop, recently resigned as head coach. "I realjy have loved being a basketball coach. I'ye wanted to coach ever since high school apd I knew I wanted to coach in college^" explains Robinson. "I have always hdd other interests other than just sports, 6r just basketball." "When you coach, its a lifestyle choice. In my opinion I couldn't coach the way I felt like I wanted to and really da a few of the other outside interest that I would like," states Robinson. "I really believe there is a time for me to have some other things to experience professionally. To learn about some topics, thoughts, and issues that have always been on my mind. I enjoy cooking, and tennis, lifting weights, running, and doing social things. You can do that in coaching, but I really put 30 much of my energy in the job." When asked about how she f^lt about her time here at Appalachian, Robinson said, "I'm really pleased. ;i walked in here at a very good time. The program was probably the lowest in tHe Southern Conference so anything that I did that was positive, people were probably gonna smile at it." Before Robinson came Go Appalachian we had only two winning seasons in the history of the university. Robinson explains, "I came at a very good time when something needed to be done and they needed a shot in the arnj. Women's basketball was becoming ;a priority at that time and I was received vefy well. I feel very proud to be involved in the program for 13 years knowing how We came form the cellar and most people really feel that we know have a modfel program." Robinson does not feel that her resignation will affect this year's team. There are six new freshmen on the team and no seniors. Robinson says, "There is no easy time to leave a program. In one regard it was an easy way because we lost so many seniors that have grown up wich me, and in another way maybe one of tl]e hardest times to leave because We recruited, in my opinion, six of th(e brightest kids I have recruited since I'Ve been here. I'm pleased with the way I'fn leaving the program." With her new job in the equity office, Robinson will oversee all Title IX work and facilitate the office's outreadh program. The equity office was established in 1996 and investigates issues dealing with discrimination, harassment and other forms of inequitable treatment occurring on campus. She will continue to work with the students as well as the faculty here at Appalachian. "I feel blessed to have been able to coach and continue to work with young people at Appalachian. We attract a certain type of person that I personally enjoy working with. I'm very excited about working with the different community populations," explains Robinson. "I wfll have the opportunity to work with facility, staff, administrators, and students abopt trying to do things the right way for tlje right reason. This is a wonderfpl opportunity for someone to have and I fefel very fortunate to have been a coach arid had that experience. Now I have tHe opportunity to go into a whole new career that I also believe in. I feel like one of the luckiest people in the world." �Page 12 1997 Fall Sport Schedules Field Hockey Women's Soccer Aug. 30 at Catawba Sept. 3 at Catawba Sept. 6 at Duke Sept. 7 LOUISVILLE Sept.11 at Wake Forest Sept.14 at Davis and Elkins Sept. 20 $ Ursinus Sept. 21 at Ohio Sept 24 at Davidson Sept 28 VIRGINIA COMMON Oct. 8 DAVIDSON Oct. 9 at Sacred Heart Oct. 11 at Quinnipiac Oct. 12 at Columbia Oct. 17 MIAMI OF OHIO Oct. 19 RICHMOND Oct. 26 # Virginia Oct. 30 at Radford Oc t. 31 $ at Deep South F.H.A.

Borkowski for approval. Brad Reid, director for housing operations and chair of the task force, said the actual recommendations are still in the process of being edited and polished. There were over 40 recommendations discussed and voted on at the Friday meet­ ing. According to Reid, one recom­ mendation will make coaches accountable for the behavior of their players. Steve MacDow, task force member, said if there is a repeated pattern of misconduct of players, the coaches will be held respon­ sible. "I can attest that [Coach Jerry Moore is] a good coach," said Bake Baker, ASU's quarterback for next year's football season. "He's handled things extremely well. Through it all he's always preached to us good morals. It seems like they're putting things on him and he's a great man." While The Watauga Democrat focused on this recommendation in an article in its Monday edition, MacDow said in the task force spent about ten min­ utes looking at it. Visitation will remain the same as it has in the last few years. "Dorms will that no one be allowed to enter the block still be allowed to vote (on visitation)," party after midnight. They also recom­ said Reid. He also said the 24 hour visita­ mended that there be three locations fea­ tion policy will still remain an option. The turing different forms of entertainment. residence hall will keep the visitation policy it had the prior year on the opening day of the school year. Reid also stressed that residents will be required to at­ tend an educational program about their rights and responsi­ bilities as it pertains to visitation in the resi­ dence halls. Students will be taught about Steve McDow the policies they have Bake Baker to choose from as well as the regulations of each policy. Reid also stated that the task force recommended This is to ensure that all students have a that a certain percentage of residents vote chance to have fun. "This will help stu­ dents remember the message of the block before visitation can be change. Reid said that even though the party," said Reid. Outside law enforcement would task force makes these recommendations the ultimate power lies with Borkowski. be notified about the block party. Reid "He may still change visitation," said Reid. also said the task force is also looking at The chancellor can approve the recom­ changing the name of the block party. Another recommendation is pub­ mendations or ask for changes in policies licizing the guidelines of the party to all if he chooses. Another issue the task force dis­ people who will be attending. The task cussed was Appalachian's annual block force would also like there to be strict party. Reid said the task force recommends guideline enforcement at the party. Cs Reid also said anyone who leaves the party cannot get back in with more alcohol. Another recommendation is to provide close monitoring for underage drinking during the party. Another recommenda­ tion is scheduling more morning classes and classes on Fridays'. The task force wishes to reinstate the public damage policy, which would bill the residents of a floor for any damages incurred for the year. An­ other recommendation is the devel­ opment of a Phase Three during ori­ entation during a freshman's first year and a more extensive orienta­ tion process. In the residence halls, the task force calls for full-time patrol of the dorms. Reid stressed that these officers will have no power to enforce law and will not replace the security assistants in the residence halls. "They will compliment those (SAs)," said Reid. Reid also said that freshmen semi­ nar will be required for freshmen but not for another four years because it is still in the works. Reid said the task force does not want to change any rules or policies al­ ready on the book, but they do want bet­ ter enforcement at the university. According to Reid, the Chancel­ lor should have a complete copy of the recommendations for review by Thursday SGA cabinet set for '97-98 year Glass to Renee Cagle Managing Editor Fernando Little and Jake Parker, the new student government president and vice-president, are getting a head start for the 1997-98.

For those of you who are new to this town, much has changed over the past four years, and when I look around the campus and see all the construction taking place, I begin to realize just how much this place has grown since I've been here. Sadly, I also realize how much more it is going to grow after I have left. , Growth is good, but as Anheiser Busch tells us on a regular basis, everyone needs to know when to say when. There comes a time when we all need to take a look around and decide exactly where our pri­ orities lie. I'm afraid that Appalachian State has failed to do this. I don't have any regrets about my time spent up here and I don't intend to question the integrity of this institution, nor its ability to educate those of us who wish to be given a well rounded education. However, it seems to me that this university has taken the whole growth and expansion thing too far. There are far too many people up here as it is, and a school growing as fast as ASU only brings more congestion to an area with limited space. I don't believe ASU has asked themselves the question, "Will increasing enrollment have a detrimental effect on the environment and uniqueness of this area?" It undeniably will. Part of what makes this such a wonderful place to go to college is its location. It's ilot just the moun­ riot mountains that make this a beautiful and interesting place, it's also the culture and heritage that surrounds and envelops it, creating a unique atmosphere unlike any other place in the world. Meeting the locals who have lived here for all their lives, a part of generations and generations who have given the high country a quality all its own, has been not only an invaluable experience, but also an integral part of my education. It's sad to see that part of the Appalachian experience slowly diminish­ ing. My plea to the youth of this university is to do all you can to preserve the quality and integrity of the community that surrounds this university. Al­ though a seemingly tall task, you are the backbone of this institution. Without your participation there is no university. Oppose any growth that is not vital to the over­ all quality of your education. Get involved in issues that directly concern the town of Boone and sur­ rounding communities. Chain yourselves to backhoes, create picket lines, vote NO to liquor by the drink, write petitions, go to meetings and make your opinions heard. Do whatever you have to do to make the university listen to concerns that are important to the preservation of the uniqueness of this commu­ nity. Without you, the students, who realize what is important to this university and community as a whole, there will be no hope at stopping any bureau­ cratic chaos that insists on building multi-million dollar convocation centers instead of upgrading out­ dated libraries. Don't let the beauty of this commu­ nity and university die with the birth of more bell towers that chime Christmas carols in April or more administration buildings that resemble the Emerald City. I've enjoyed my time spent in the Appalachian mountains and I would love to be able to bring my children back to show them where I went to school and still be able to recognize it. Wouldn't you? taff Perspectives Do You...? "You can spend the rest of your life beating up people and robbing them. But why? You are the scum of society!' - Jackie Chan aya con, )( amigos dios I Q Q III I I Ciao baby by Ryan Price Editorial Editor After an educational career spanning two decades here at App (yeah, that's right), I have come to real­ ize one thing about college; I'm ready to get the hell out. I've had a great time here in the mountains, but sometimes it's just time to get on with your life. Graduation is an event faced by everyone with 120 or so credit hours. For some, it's a dilemma, the cause of a great deal of stress. What are you going to do after you graduate? Work? Get a post-gradu­ ate degree? Will you be able to find a job in your major? For others, these questions are just the begin­ ning of an exciting period in their life. Yeah, you definitely enjoyed coUege, but you're ready to get on with it. Some people look forward to moving out on their own, some to strange cities where they don't know a soul, others back to their hometown but out of Mommy and Daddy's reach. The sink or swim philosophy is appealing to many people, but in this era of slackerism, who wants to work? Hey, you're only young once, you're relatively debt free, and you're single. What better time in your life to go and try something new? Take a chance with something you've always wanted to do. Me, I'm gonna follow my lifelong dream of being a writer for dog food commercials. You know, jingles and such. Example: "When you're in a pinch and you can't afford to feed your dog more than a scoop, try the high-fiber dog food that's a cinch to make him poop!" Pretty good, huh? Anyways, after eight long years of going to classes, student loans, and trudg­ ing around in the snow, I'm off to Purina, Montana to pursue my dream. Wish me luck. Farewell to valley daze I am originally from Florida, but I've been up here for so long I feel that I'm now a full-fledged North Carolidiot. There are several noticeable dif­ ferences between North Carolina and Florida, the largest being the friendliness of the people up here. Florida is much more fast-paced, and for the most part the people are as rude as New Yawkers (not all "think Dr. Borkowski should change his name from Francis to of 'em, but enough to count). There are a few things something cool like Butch or Spike?" about Boone that I have not become quite accus­ tomed too, and I doubt if I ever will. -Text by Ryan Price First of all, there's this thing called grits. One word: nasty. About the only acceptable version of these are the ominously named "cheesy grits," and that's only if you're really inebriated and in dire need of sustenance. Oh yeah, one more thing. I've always wondered what would happen if I ordered just one grit. Would the waitress laugh? Snicker? Threaten to call the Southern Hospitality Indoctrination Team? I dunno, but I've never had the opportunity to truly present itself to find out. Another Boone-ism that I have neglected to adopt is some of the language. Now, while I do have nonSoutherners tell me that I have a bit of an accent now and then, I try not to use a lot of the slang words that are so pervasive in this valley culture. John Starling, Features Editor Ryan Price, Editorial Editor I've never seriously used the word "yonder" in a "I think he should change his name to "1 think he should change his name to sentence, and I have made a concerted effort not to something nifty like Buddha Jones, Puck. It's one syllable, and when the replace "have" with "got" every time I need some­ Afrikaa Bambatta Borkowski, Dr. Aristotle thing. Guerilla Grrls protest next year they can Example: "I went down yonder hill 'cuz I gots ta Startle. He'd be a cool punk rocker." chant '-uck Puck, -uck Puck!" gits me a grit." Another difference is waving at people while you're driving. If you go through virtually any small town in NC, you need to have one hand free at all times to wave. It doesn't have to be a full-fledged wave, with wrist action and all, but can be a little more subtle than that. The raising of two fingers from the steering wheel is the easiest, and usually the most appropriate. This also keeps your wrist from getting strained, I because if it's a busy traffic day and you do the "fullfledged wave" too much, your wrist will feel like you're Lil' Miss Tobacco in the Winston-Salem Smoker's Appreciation Day parade: tired, ragged, | and fussy. Greeters beware though; never raise just one | finger in salute to your fellow motorists. They may Vanessa Urruela, Editor-in-Chief Renee Cagle, Managing Editor think you're flippin' them the and may make "Nope.

In Florida if you wave to someone, they're likely to turn around and follow you and more than likely want to fight. Them: "Why'd you wave at me?" You: "Uhh, I'm sorry." Them: "What'd you say?" You: "Uhh, it was an involuntary reflex that hap| pens'cause I hit my elbow on the dashboard. (Wave) See, it just did it again!" If these conditions persist, always confuse your fellow agitated motorist with a foreign dialect. Them: "For the last time, why'd you wave."

In the ensuing confusion, jump in your vehicle Matt Russ, Writing Coach Darin Glass, Future Editor-in-Chief and vamoose. Problem solved.

The crowning moment of the evening was at the very end of the show. I heard rumors from someone that they had been playing the occasional Camper Van song at recent gigs.

I bought it, it was decent but aren't there some b-sides, demos or outtakes worth putting out? We'll have to go back to the boots to hear those. Time's been good to David Bowie, I just wish he'd done another art-crime al­ bum instead of Earthling. I'm a fan, but' it's been awfully trendy to give this album a lot of undue praise. Bush: where's the herbicide when I need it. Marilyn Manson: I wish their image was growing up as much as their lyrics. Antichrist Superstar was the surprise of the year. I never thought I'd say that about a band with such a cliched, cheesy image, but damn, it was an impressive album. One more note to top this off. I'll be stepping next door to editorials next year. I'm looking forward to hearing from everyone's opinions, even those contrary to me. And like it's always been, if you don't like it, either learn to love it or do something about it. I hope you prefer the latter. Year end staff picks Since it's the end of the year, it's only fair that we indulge ourselves a bit.

The team struggled through a 1512 season in which they showed only brief shadows of the team that had rolled over almost every opponent they faced in '96. Perhaps the worst loss of the season was the one that ended it against Marshall in the Southern Conference tournament at the Greensboro Coliseum.

Kathy Beam Staff Writer The Southern Conference Tour­ nament took place last weekend in Charleston, South Carolina. The Tour­ nament was hosted by the Citadel at Charleston's new Joseph E Riley ballpark. The Mountaineers faced off against Georgia Southern in their first game of the double elimination tourna­ ment. Georgia Southern blasted Appa­ lachian State for 14 runs to defeat them 14-5 in game three Thursday afternoon. "Obviously Georgia Southern is a good ball club, but we can't give them four and five outs in an inning and still win," said Mountaineer baseball coach Jim Morris of Appalachian's error-ridden performance. Two Georgia Southern errors gave the Mountaineers a 4-0 lead in the top of the third inning. The errors by Georgia Southern paled in comparison with Appalachian's five errors. It wasn't long before Georgia Southern corrected Mountaineer recruits height McFadden Mike Coffey 6' 5 6' 7 Marshall Phillips 6'5 However, there were some bright spots in this year's football season. The most notable was Coach Jerry Moore's breaking the school record for wins by earning his 58th against The Cita­ del on September 28. In the same game star running back Damon Scott became just the fourth Mountaineer ever to rush for 3,000 yards. But the man who broke the most records for Appalachian in his four years here was Dexter Coakley, who became one of three Mountaineers to get picked up by an NFL team last week and had another fantastic season at linebacker for the Mountaineers in '96. Overall the 1996-'97 athletic year was one of change. Some teams had new coaches this season and some have hired new ones for next season. Some teams gave us a glimpse of the future, while others tried to hang on to their past. Next year, hopefully champions will be the word used to describe Appa­ lachian athletics. their mistakes with seven runs in the 2 for 5 with 2 RBI's.

Both teams got one run in the ninth, including Osborne's 15th home run of the year, to send it into ex­ tra innings. In the top of the tenth, Furman scored three runs and the Moun­ taineers could only muster one run in return. Furman was aided by four Ap­ palachian errors, which made the differ­ ence in the game. Fisher picked up the loss for the Mountaineers and ended the year 2-3. On the tournament, Appala­ chian head coach Jim Morris said that: "Our kids showed great effort to over­ come all the obstacles that they faced this season. It took a lot out of them, but they showed a lot of heart and never quit. We just beat ourselves too many times and that was the case in today's game. It was a tough way for our seniors to end their careers." Kenny Osborne is the single Mountaineer representative on the All Southern Conference team. The senior outfielder finished the regular season with .364 batting average,14 home runs, 39 RBI's and 15 doubles.

March 1, was probably the worst day of the year for Appalachian sports fans because later that night the men's team also saw their season come to an end against the hated Herd from Marshall. Fans in Huntington, many of whom were on hand and yucking it up that day in Greensboro, will probably relive that day forever. Another day that Marshall fans will have fun telling stories about some day is October 6,1996. That was the day the top ranked Herd met Appalachian for the final time on the most important battlefield for these two schools, die foot­ ball field. 23,000 some odd fans packed Kidd Brewer Stadium on that rainy day only to see Appalachian fall 28-10 and end any hopes they had of making the playoffs. Like the women's basketball team, the Appalachian football team was coming off of a record season in which they did ev­ erything but win a national championship. And, like the Lady Apps, the Mountaineers were unable to even give themselves a chance at winning one by failing to make the post-season playoffs with a 7-4 record that included losses to rivals such as Marshall, Wake Forest and East Tennessee State. For the 22 seniors that made up what was possibly the team's most tal­ ented class ever, the season was a huge disappointment. The worst part was that things may have been radically different had the Mountaineers dropped their pre­ dictable option offense lead by quarter­ back Gerard Hardy and gone with Bake Baker and his wide- open style earlier. On top of that, the team is still suffering from the alleged rape scandal that rocked the school in the spring and caused the university to make the deci­ sion to break up the football team in Jus­ tice Residence Hall for next year and spread them all over campus. sports commentary "We almost felt like prostitutes. It was very degrading," said Lisa Stern, a former student at Brown University. This was in response to the elimination of Brown's gymnastics team after budget cuts in 1991. To compete her freshman year, Stern and the others on the team were forced to raise the money on their own. In one instance the team was able to raise a "couple of hundred" dollars by doing social attitudes about women. The Supreme Court evidendy flips on the campus green for donations. agrees with Stern and the other athletes This prompted the comment by Stern that she felt almost like a prostitute as it refused to review the case after a because she was having to degrade her­ lower court found Brown University guilty of discrimination. self to get funds.

The problem with this seems not changing the view of women's sports and to lie in the increase in women's ath­ letics but in the subsequent decrease in men's athletics. Sports such as football are very high maintenance and expensive sports to keep up. With this new draw on funds many believe that male sports will begin to see the impact. High exposure sports such as football, baseball, and basketball will most likely see no effect. These sports, however, will now have to draw their funds away not from women's athletics but the lesser male sports. Soccer has began to see a surge in the US, but it may be subject to budget cuts in the wake of the "big three sports". The major worry lies with sports such as lacrosse, rugby, and track because their funding is already so small. Some sports may suffer the same fate as the Brown gymnastic team faced in 1991, elimination because of lack of funds and lack of popu­ larity. �The A Page 12 PPalach: 'an 29 APrii Appalachian News, offdal University News and Ann pears in each issue of the paper.

Cranford credits the accomplish­ ments of this year's SGA to the hard work of the Cabinet and student senators, de­ scribed by Cranford as a vital part of the organization. After the resignation of Jason Yepko in the fall and the appointment of Poole as his successor, both Poole and Cranford began the task of accomplish­ ing the goals that formed the CranfordYepko election platform. "I took over Kaye and Jason's platform and made it my own," Poole said. "I worked diligently with Kaye to accomplish as many platform goals as possible." Several of those goals were ac­ complished before the conclusion of the fall semester, Poole said. Goals fulfilled included installment of call waiting in campus residence halls, audible alarms for campus blue lights, e-mail and com­ puter instruc­ tion for fresh­ men during Phase II Orienta­ tion, Operation Outreach and support for volunteerism for Hunger & Homelessness Week. Other goals reached by SGA members included senate elections and training, Home­ coming activi­ ties, formation of a student dis­ count card, transfer of the Mountaineer Escort service to the uni­ versity and two forums addressing safety issues, Poole said. In addition to these goals, Poole said the SGA Cabinet also set personal goals to be accomplished on a monthly Passing the gavel "I'm happy to say that during the first semester, we accomplished every goal we set for ourselves, not just platform goals," he said. Student government representa­ tives continued their work in the spring semester, Poole said.

Burwell is positive that the needs of the students will be met. "Some courses are filled up now (for students), but we will meet the demands of the students." Burwell did not comment further on any of the specific positions that will be cut or what areas they will be in. Many students are wondering about the availability of their classes for next year and will have to wait to see what happens in the fall. Avett said how well-liked both Shelley and Milam are and he would hate to see any of the professors lost.

Both pieces of legislation re­ quired extensive research by senators and SGA committee members, Poole said. In addition to new policies implemented via legislation, Poole ex­ plained that many SGA accomplishments have not been reached solely through legislation. "(Goals have been reached) with hard work, contacting the right people, doing the right thing to get things done," he said. "Everything that gets done in student government does not require leg­ islation. A lot of the time, it just requires a phone call or a meeting." As the Poole and Cranford leg­ islation prepares to pass the gavel, Cranford admits President-elect Fernando Little and Vice-President elect Jake Parker have a challenging year ahead of them, but that she wishes them the best of luck. Cranford hopes future SGA rep­ resentatives will be willing to have an open-door policy. "(They must) be willing to hear the concerns of all students and be a re­ source for students," she said.

Assistant Dean of the College of Business Dr. Tim Burwell has dispelled some of the rumors. He said that a memo was given to him at the beginning of the fall term by the Provost, stating how many positions would be returning to the college and how much money they would be getting for the year. "The positions were allocated to us from Academic Affairs. One of the main reasons for the decline in positions was the decline in enrollment," said Burwell. Burwell said the decline in enroll­ ment has been felt across the country and not only at ASU.

Recently, I noticed a list m Financial World nam­ ing Wall Street's top earners, and on the top of this list was George Soros, an offshore hedge fund man­ ager. Soros earned in 1995 a total of, get this, $1.5 billion, and that's not all. Most of this is accruing tax-free in the Netherlands Antilles. How does this [date to you, me, and junk bonds? Milken made most of his salary selling junk bonds to investors be­ cause they provide a higher rate of return. Soros used vehicles such as junk bonds to achieve higher rates of return. This article's purpose is to set die record straight for junk bonds by giving reasons for [heir growth and use, what benefits they provide, and risks associated with them. Junk bonds are not a new innovation and, according .0 Milken, have been Moundforever Ajunk bond is simply a lower rated bond, rated BB or less by Standard and Poor's. The lower rating implies a higher degree of risk. To offset this increased risk, the bond includes a higher interest rate. Junk bonds made available vast amounts of capi­ tal which Milken used to help many companies to raise money and stay competitive including MCI, McCaw Cellular, TCI, Viacom, Turner Broadcasting, and Time Warner. Drexel Burnham Lambert and Michael Milken will be linked to junk bonds forever for bringing them to their apex and downfall.

Why did the junk bond market grow? There are basically four reasons for its growth: increasing unnopSity of private placed bonds, development of market makers, changing risk perceptions, and Sports Editor Private1placed bonds, which are bonds that are sold to a small group of investors privately, became unpopular for two reasons.

The people who funded the high-yield deals of the 1980s in the savings and loans and the insurance companies had to get out of the junk bond business for regulatory reasons, and ; there wasn't an immediate replacement. There are many misconceptions about the per­ formance of junk bonds; one being that they have ' significantly higher default rates, and most investors • lose principal. According to a study done by Altman- , Namacher from 1974-1984, default rates averaged ) only 2.1 percent for the period.

Restrictive covenants are restric­ tions that the purchasers require from the issuers before purchase, to limit the actions the firm can take. In addition, there were no standard contracts for bonds, which made secondary market sales hard. The unpopularity of private placements created an op­ portunity for public issues. The second reason for growth of junk bonds was the development of market makers. Market makers are entities serving as an agent of liquidity in facili­ tating sales between buyers and sellers. This was a major factor in the growth of the market. Drexel Burnham Lambert became the active market maker. The third reason for growth of the junk bond market was a change in investors' risk perceptions of these types of bonds. Investors began to believe that the risk associated with bonds was less than what they had once perceived. Default rates of bonds were far less then originally believed.

A subsequent column offered a conciliatory list of nice things about Appalachian and the High Country, few of which had anything to do with why you or anyone else should bother to go to college. My particular concern is with the complaint in the first editorial Traffic police considerate To the Editor, I know that a lot of students seem to have various complaints with the University's Traffic Department and some of them are more valid than others. What concerns me is when the staff makes no attempt to be somewhat accommodating towards those students who are physically disabled. I was diagnosed with cancer two years ago and underwent extensive chemotherapy and various • surgeries to remove tumors. The doctors had to remove over one-third of my lung tissue due to the way in which the cancer had spread. The operation has left me with limited breathing capacity and as a result it is at times very difficult to make it around Boone, The State of North Carolina has issued me a handicap parking permit which I use to try and park as close to class as possible. However, I left class on Wednesday of this week to find one of those glorious yellow parking tickets on my car. My car was parked in one of the very few spots designated for handicapped students but never- that Appalachian requires a Core Curriculum having nothing to do with a student's future. I know a good deal; but, even at 53,1 still don't know what does and what doesn't have to do with my future. And I don't know anything, how­ ever painful, that I wish I didn't. W. H. Ward Chair, Core Curriculum Council theless the offcer saw fit to fine me forty dollars. I don't think I need to tell anyone of the students at Appalachian how far forty dollars can be stretched on a college budget. I gave the officer the benefit of the doubt, maybe he/she had not seen my pass hanging in the window. I made my way to the Traffc Department and waited to speak with one of the officers. The lady at the desk directed me to Cpt. Loretta R. Harmon, who I am certain is one of the most inconsiderate people on the face of the earth, Cpt. Harmon was not interested in seeing my pass, the only thing she could say is: "You can appeal it if you want." Sure Captain, I'm going to try and appeal this ticket so I can be denied and charged more money for reviewing my appeal, It certainly is nice to know that Captain Harmon is working for our beloved Appalachian, I hope that no one ever decides to follow in her footsteps and charge her if she ever becomes disabled, To the Editor, I recently had a major- 35% of my total grade- paper due in a re­ quired major course and thought it might be helpful to have some­ one proofread the draft. I took my paper to the ASU Writing Lab, where a female En­ glish professor read my paper for grammatical and transitional er­ rors. The proofreader found sev­ eral mistakes, which is not uncom­ mon for my papers. When I turned in my final copy of my paper, my professor handed it back with many marks. I had made a C (74) on the paper and could not believe my eyes. Not to be conceded, but I usually make B's or better on writing assign­ ments. My professor cited my paper was confusing, lacking structure and transitional flow. My professor's confusion was because of the changes the writing center had made. Not to say I had no part in the confusion, but the writing center was little if no help at all. This was my first nightmare experience with the writing lab and it will be my last. I wild also go so far as to say I will never recommend the ASU Writing Center to anyone and will always tell this story of woe any­ time the subject arises.

The * .. ary staff introduced its new selfSut system for students last week. «syStem" is actually a small ma­ ilt inside the library lobby. After st j j— j a a student ID card, the machine x o bout" Iks out" books placed under its scan& leaves the student with a receipt for the book's due date. Ideally, this all happens at the student's convenience, and doesn't ever have to involve the help of any library staff. Currently, ASU boasts the lowest li­ brary staff to students ratio in the North Carolina University system. This advance­ ment is an attempt at alternatives to ex­ tra staff, since the ASU staff budget has not increased this year. The new system is the result of a one­ time allocation made to ASU from the University system budget to be used for technological advances. It makes Appalachian one of only three schools in the state system with such a checkout system. According to Catherine Wilkinson, Coordinator of Access and Information Organization in Belk Library, the selfcheckout system will not be introduced at the expense of student employees. She says that, "Though our budget for student employment has not gone up,' the checkout machine was purchased with other funds and will not draw from the money available for student help. Some students currendy working at the main circulation desk will be shifted from that area to stacks maintenance. "We will reallocate our (student) re­ sources more to areas of need," Wilkinson said of the rearrangement of student employees. Wilkinson also does not expect the self-checkout system to ever completely replace the main circulation desk. Videos and audio tapes, as well as computer disks, must all still be checked out at the main desk. Any problems with checkouts will be dealt with at the main desk, while all quick checkouts can utilize the new ma­ chine. Belk Library has also instituted a selfrenewal system for students convenience. As of this week, library materials can be renewed either by telephone or on-line on the ASU Internet web page. The self-checkout machine, which is equipped with easy directions for hesitant first-timers, is on from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for now, and should be available later into the night shortly. Secret Naval facility in Varsity Gym? The evidence is still there. Just go down to the Health, Leisure and Exercise Science Department. While the space has been converted to classrooms, the three inch metal doors, disconnected security systems, fire proof vaults and ventilation system still remain. JeffSprouse Reporter Imagine you are a student attending ilachian in 1969. Chaos is all around, j yell at doves. Nixon is president, j while playing a pick-up game at the it Varsity Gym, underneath you is a Jed Naval Emergency Communicas command Post operating 24 hours lay. •'How can that be?" you ask. A senaval facility underneath one of the it used spaces on campus? Well up 1982, the Navy paid rent on the The facility, which operated for 20 years, was an emergency command post. In the event of a domestic war, military personnel would have been operating from the facility. It was stocked with a large supply of emergency food and wa­ ter. The post was manned by a full-time "Civilian" employee of the Navy who was the only local resident with access to the facility. The Navy originally contacted then president, Dr. Plemmons about utilizing some campus space in 1962. Arrange­ ments were made for the Navy to utilize space in Broom-Kirk Gym until better fa­ cilities became available. This occurred in 1968 with the con­ struction of the Varsity Gym. The Navy worked with the gym's architect on how their facility would be constructed. They had special needs, such as a ventilation system that could filter radioactive par­ ticles as well as special lighting and wir­ ing. One wonders if Naval involvement greased the wheels of government in or­ der to obtain the over two million dollars needed for construction. When the gym slfcfife. « 4 F-\ A M F V] l V. was completed, it was hailed as a state of the art sports facility, including a never before seen roof system. The facility's existence was hidden from the general public. In an interview with the Appalachian conducted in 1988, then Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs, Ned Trivette stated, 'Those of us who worked with it had a security clearance, and we could not talk about it then." Details of the daily goings on are sketchy. In the attic of the gym was a vast array of antenna. The Navy held yearly drills. Curious faculty and students were turned away from its doors. At press time of the 1988 Appalachian, the Navy had not commented on the fa­ cility. In the same interview, Ned Trivette said, "It was a communications facility with radio equipment, lots of files and that was basically it. There's no secret under­ world down there." Whatever its purpose, it was once a closely guarded mystery on campus. Ru­ mors of its existence sparked fear that ASU was a designated target for a Soviet mis­ sile strike or a manufacturer of nuclear bombs. If it was just a communications facil­ ity, why was its existence such a closely guarded secret? We may never know. Most participants have moved on. There is no reference to it in the University ar­ chives. The Navy has no comment and the files are classified.

Linebacker Joe DiBernardo and tackle Chad Groover were signed by the San Diego Chargers and Cincinnati Bengals respectively this week. DiBernardo, who played linebacker opposite the newest member of the Dallas Cowboys, Dexter Coakley, found out Monday afternoon at 5:00 p.m. from his agent that the Chargers had offered him a contract after he'd been "camping out by the phone" for the past two days. DiBernardo was first noticed by the Chargers back in March when two of their scouts came to look at he and Coakley work out. Coakley said that "He (DiBernardo) worked out with me when they were here and I know he impressed them." Coakley said that he thought that both he and his DiBernardo going on to the NFL is an "accomplishment for both of us." Coach Jerry Moore also expressed this sentiment saying that "It's a great opportunity for both of them." Moore added that having players like these guys and Matt Stevens from the Buffalo Bills make it in the NFL not only helps recruiting for the football team but that "it helps the entire school." DiBernarndo described his feelings about getting to the pros by saying "I can't even explain it. It's a dream come true... I'm kind of lost for words." The other Mountaineer who has been signed by an NFL squad is left tackle Chad Groover who went with the Cincinnati Bengals after receiving offers DiBernardo in action during the Mountaineers loss at East from six different teams. His reason for Tennessee State in which he had six of his 122 tackles in the picking the Bengals was that they will Appalachian loss, (file photo) allow him to play guard for them. The other teams interested in him wanted him just as a tackle. Groover also said that he was nervous over the weekend as he watched the draft in hopes of seeing his name Height: 6-2 come up. Groover's wait was shorter than DiBernardo's however, as he received calls Weight: 238 from teams on Sunday afternoon. Groover said that the whole waiting game "was real tense." Position: linebacker As for his feelings about being an NFL player and what it's like to be one, Hometown:. Miami, Fla. Groover said "I don't think it's really sunk in yet." Groover said that most of the focus has been on Coakley but that ASU accomplishments: This past season, DiBernardo after a "everybody's been real supportive," of solid season where he amassed 122 tackles, was tabbed an Ailboth he and DiBernardo American by Hansen's Football Gazette. Damon Scott, the Mountaineers star running back this season has had several offers from teams in the Canadian In 1995, the Miami native had 111 stops. DiBernardo is only Football League, but none from any NFL the tenth Mountaineer to collect 300 tackles. He is the third all-time teams as of yet. However, Moore said that leading tackier in Appalachian history. the Philadelphia Eagles have shown some interest in him.

All R o b i n s o n . There is however a giant question mark hanging over Probst at this time as she has not yet met all N C A A requirements for eligibility. The final recruit that has signed recently is Sharonda Green out of Greensboro. Green is very young in her basketball career but shows signs of developing into a vi very good player according to Robinson. There are Wo scholarships still available for the Mountaineers to use and two possible recruits to fill them but see Recruits page 10 Flyers should be last team standing in quest for cup Mike Daniels Sports Editor sports commentary I know that there may not be many of you since this is the South, but for you hockey fans out there, this past week marked the start of the second season, the playoffs. It is the time when both contenders and some pretenders get a shot to see who can remain the last team standing after two month's worth of bone-crunching, exhausting hockey. The NHL playoffs are probably the most physically demanding post­ season in the sports world. For two months, April 16 through June 17, players must endure pain and injury at all costs to take the ice every other night and give it their all or face elimination. For many of the teams in the field, the playoff fever has been in full swing for a couple of weeks. Teams like the Montreal Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators had to battle hard just to make it to the playoffs. Now they face extremely difficult odds of even winning more than one game. The eighth seeded Canadiens face the New Jersey Devils, with their boring but effective defense and stonewall of a goalie, Martin Brodeur, in the first round. The seventh seeded Senators face the same problems against Dominic Hasek and the Buffalo Sabres. I cringe to say this, but the Devils are one of the favorites to take home Lord Stanley's Cup in June. After rolling over Montreal in the first round, the Devils should beat their less talented copy, the Florida Panthers, in the second round. The other contender out of the east will be the Philadelphia Flyers. The Flyers can outmuscle anybody with big men like Eric Lindros, John LeClair and Joel Otto and they are deeper than any other team in the playoffs. The only weakness they had coming into the playoffs was their goalie situation, but Garth Snow seems to have solved that problem. In the Eastern Conference Finals I like the Flyers over the Devils.. see NHL page 11 �The Page 10 [Mountaineers gear up for SC tournament Justin Griffin Assistant Sports Editor The Appalachian baseball Jteam enters the Coca Cola/ J Wendy's Southern Conference ,tournament on a roll after J winning their last four games of t the year, and winning five out of * their last ten games, including a (three game sweep of Davidson.

The 1 win this year was only the second i. time that Appalachian has ever | defeated Georgia Southern, the • all-time series record is at 2-22 in * favor of the Eagles. Charleston has not been •a kind city to the Mountaineers in the past. Appalachian has only managed to pick up three wins out of 16 tries. 1 Recruits from page 9 This year, Appalachian prefers high scoring affairs. The Mountaineers are 8-1 when scoring ten or more runs. On the other hand, defense has not been a trademark this year for the Mountaineers. Appalachian has allowed ten or more runs this year 16 times. Players who need to have a good tournament in order for Appalachian to end the season on a high note include John Anderson, Kenny Osborne, and Cliff Cameron. Anderson has contributed greatly to what success the team has had this year as a pitcher, first baseman, and designated hitter. The senior is tied for second on the squad in RBI's with 39. As a pitcher, Anderson earned victories against Tennessee Tech and Davidson. Against Wake Forest, Anderson struck out seven batters in five innings of work. Osborne leads the team in seven offensive categories including batting average, at-bats, runs, hits, doubles, home runs, slugging percentage and stolen bases. His home run total of 14 this season is good enough for third all time ASU single season list. Osborne has been the Lou Gherig for the team, being the only player to start in all 45 games. Cameron leads the team with .452 on-base percentage while ranking third on the team with 35 RBI. Cameron enters the tournament on a five game hitting streak. Sunday's 21-17 victory over Davidson demonstrated that the Mountaineers can put runs on the board, but also showed their defensive weakness. Against the Wildcats, Appalachian blasted a school record eight home runs. Six different Mountaineers knocked the ball out of the park for the Mountaineers. Two different players grand-slammed, including Pete Snitzer and Cliff Cameron. This afternoon at 4:30 in Charleston the Mountaineers will take on Georgia Southern, who defeated Appalachian twice by scores of 5-3 and 17-6 at Watauga High school earlier this year. The last time the Apps met Georgia Southern in the SC Tournament, the Eagles prevailed 6-1. Appalachianl7 a tfarris Teeter Your Neighborhood Food Market Begins Wednesday, -April 23, DoiiarSaq USD-A.

Renee Cagle Managing Editor Dexter Coakley"s wait in the NFL draft came to an end Saturday night when he was drafted in the third round. Coaklev will be playing for the Dallas Cowboys in the upcoming year as a line­ backer. Everyone at Appalachian knows Coakley for his football playing prowess, but who is he really? When you ask Coakley"s friends they all mention the same things. Dexter is described as quiet, kind and is greatly respected by his fellow Appalachian play­ ers. In the April 19 edition of The Char­ lotte Observer Coakley was described as "a great symbol of the school." Coakle/s gentle personality be­ came even more evident when a group of elementary students visited Appala­ chian rzecently. According to The Char­ lotte Observer, Coakley told the students to listen and work hard in school. After­ wards he let a few of the students feel his biceps and even lifted some weights with them. Coakley grew up in Charleston, SC. His father, William, works as a brick mason while his mother, Barbara is a di­ etician. Coakley has three sisters and a step-brother. Coaklev will be graduating from Appalachian this May with a degree in communications and a GPA of 3.0. When Coakley graduated from Wando High in South Carolina, he did not make a high enough score on his SAT to attend a four year college or university. Instead of at­ tending a community college, he went to see Coakley p. 2 For a closer look at Coakley's football career at Appalachian, please see related story on page 9. Department of Theatre and Dance gains accreditation ASU News Bureau The Department of Theatre and Dance at Appalachian State University has received full accreditation from the Na­ tional Association of Schools of Theatre. The announcement came during NAST's annual meeting in Louisville, Ky., in early April. Faculty, staff and students in the department have been involved in official accreditation preparations since the sum­ mer of 1996, but they have been working toward this goal for a long time, said Su­ san Cole, department chair. Cole noted that accreditation will help recruit quality students, give the de­ partment a national identity and serve as an endorsement of the program's quality. "It gives us a stamp of approval that means we meet the high national stan­ dards established by NAST," Cole said. The accreditation process in­ cluded an extensive, in-depth self-study of all aspects of the department's academic and production programs, Cole said. NAST representatives talked with Appa­ lachian administrators and others who work closely with the program, as well as theatre students and faculty. They re­ viewed library holdings, visited classes, looked at records and attended a produc­ tion in Valborg Theatre. Appalachian's program was one of six chosen for full membership in the or­ ganization. A total of 109 colleges, uni­ versities and academies across the coun­ try are currently accredited by NAST.

The award was for his (work and support in international promotion of art and education education. Borkowski's contribution to the intellectual and artistic coopera­ tion among Polish and American universities was a major factor in the determination of the award. "I have always taken pride in the history and tradition of Po­ land, and the will and fortitude of the people," Borkowski said. Borkowski is a second generation American who speaks fluent Polish. It was the only lan­ guage that his immigrant grand­ parents spoke. Borkowski is very excited about the progress that Poland is making. "The country is on a fast track.

Borkowski said that Po­ land will be invited to join NATO within two years which will help the country establish itself. The culture of the Polish people made a great impression on the chancellor as well. "I found it striking that the audience in the opera I attended was at least 60 percent under the age of 30." The university is also in close contact with Poland as well. Five ASU communication profes­ sors will be teaching in Gdansk for a couple of weeks this summer.

Not to say that all music outside this atmosphere On-Campus residents make opinions known Security has been a hot topic on campus lately. Ever since the incidents this past year, and the ac­ tion taken by Chancellor Borkowski to make this a safer campus, students have been talking about this issue. Well, there seems to be even more to talk since residence hall visitation was mentioned at the first forum held on March 25. Students have been in an uproar about visitation. Yes, it is true that visitation is an issye- being discussed by both the Task Force on Student Life and the Campus Security Commit­ tee. However, no recommendation or final decisions have yet been made. On April 3, a voting issue was brought to the Campus Resident Student Association (CRSA) body. This body is composed of student representatives, one from each residence hall on campus. These stu­ dents represent their halls' Resident Student Asso­ ciation. This voting issue was with regards to visitation in the residence halls. There are currently several halls on campus who have a 24-hour visitation policy. A few other halls have certain limits set on the times visitors are allowed to be in the buildings. In the last two weeks, there have been numerous misunderstandings about who wrote the forms and where the options came from. If you were one of the lucky ones to receive e-mail about it, you know exactly what 1 am talking about. I would like to clarify any questions as well as clear up any of these misunderstandings. Guest Editorial by Kim Vuttenhove CRSA President First of all, the voting issue was written by me and my advisor. It was intended to give the resi­ dence halls a voice, one that would or would not be listened to, but one that would definitely be heard. The representatives took the form back to their resi­ dence halls where they voted on, and then ranked the following options: Option 1) Sunday-Saturday: W 1 Begin-10 a.m. End- 2 a.m. Option 2) Sunday-Saturday: Begin-12 p.m. End- 2 a.m. Option 3) Sunday-Thursday: Begin-12 p.m. End- 2 a.m. Friday- Saturday Begin-10 a.m. End-12 a.m. These options were chosen at random but were primarily based on the system we had in the halls a few years ago. The halls were then allowed to vote, at the beginning of the year; for the type of visitation that they would have for that year. In giving these options, the representatives were told they were not limited to these options and they could come up with their own opdon on which to vote. Option # 1 was ranked first for Cone, Eggers, Hoey, Justice and Winkler. Other halls added their own top rank as follows: Belk, Sun-Thur 10 a.m.-2 a.m., Fri-Sat 24 hours; Coffey, 7 days a week- 7 a.m.-2 a.m.; East, Fri-Sat 7 a.m.-3:30 a.m., Sun-Thurs 7 a.m.-2 a.m.; Lovill, Sun-Thurs 12 p.m.-2 a.m., Fri-Sat 24 hours. These will be listed in the same manner and given to task force members as well as the Chancellor. The intent of this voting issue was for the stu­ dents to realize that their voices can be heard if they take the time to show they care. I was very pleased with the way some students reacted. It brought more attention to one of the many issues that the Task Force and the Committee are having to discuss and decide upon. Neither of these bodies have made their recommendations to the Chancellor. As of early this week, they have not yet decided upon what these recommendations will be. This voting issue was sent out so that if a recommenda tion for a change in the visitation policy is made, There is some information as to what the residence halls would prefer. As students, we need to have our voices heard if we want things to change or remain the same. I would like to thank the halls that participated in the process and showed that they care. However, just because this voting took place does not mean further action will be taken. The information is simply out there if it is needed. We have no control over who will listen.

Jeremy Ball Assistant Features Editor It's two a.m. You awake to the sound its beating on a door across the hall Jan officer yelling, "Police, open up!" rlier that evening you had to open your mdows because the smell of pot from ross the hall was so overpowering. It is the fourth bust that week. Your next door neighbors are hippies d play the Dead at three in the morn- You've seen men wearing dresses to 1 iss in your dorm. The people you live with are freaks, wis and pot heads. What dorm do you live in? Chances are, you just answered East hall to that last question. OK, we've all heard these dorm stereotypes: the jocks (and parolees) live in Justice, Lovill and Eggers are the Virgin Vaults and East is just really scary. Only hard core feminists and people who wear either beads or black live there, right? Katherine A. Buchholz, a sophomore from Washington, doesn't think so. She says that the common stereotype given to people in East is that "we're all a bunch of druggies and freaks." "Anybody who hasn't been here thinks that we're freaky. But, once they get here they seem to stay." Buchholz says that she feels that the reputation East has for being a drug in­ fested, freaky dorm is undeserved. Buchholz says that the stereotype stems from an article in "High Times" a couple of years ago which ranked East as the number one party dorm in the country. But, she says "most of the rules are more strictly enforced" in East and that the drug problem isn't any worse than any other dorm. What about all of the freaks? Buchholz says "We've got metal heads, punks, hippies, holy rollers and even a few sorority girls. We've got scholarship win­ ners and obvious losers." Buchholz has lived in East for two years and she says that she has "loved it more than anywhere else." "It's one of the safest dorms on cam­ pus. It's small enough so that you know everybody by the end of the year; if not by name, then by sight." East hall is also the home of Watauga College. It is a college within a university which allows incoming freshmen the op­ portunity to complete many of their En­ glish, History and Humanities require­ ments by the time they are sophomores. Classes are small and focused on indi­ vidual contact with professors. Most pro­ fessors have their offices and many of their classes in East. Watauga College gradu­ ates graduate with honors from the uni­ versity. East is also the home of an interna­ tional hall which pairs up international students with regular college students and allows them to live with each other for a year. There is also a sub-floor which houses mostly sophomores and upper classmen. It is co-ed. So, yes, East hall is unique. But, with Watauga College students forming the backbone of the dorm, international stu­ dents having a strong presence and the small size of the dorm helping to form a community where everyone knows every­ one else, East hall hardly sounds like a place to be scared of. It sounds like exactly what Appala­ chian has been trying to form campus wide; academics as the center of student life, diversity and community. Oh, and no one should forget that East, has some of the biggest rooms on cam-' pus. Not bad. Six Degrees too hot Chasing Amy Controversial play put on by Theatre and Dance John Starling Features Editor America is at the tail end of what will obably be labeled in the future as the ftically Correct period. American lib^ in particular go out of their way to *asPC. as possible. Very few things have come along to ^enge that "correct" way of acting and ^king. One of those things is John "Jare's Six Degrees of Separation. This critically acclaimed play will be Rented by the Theatre and Dance De­ cent and the Charlotte Repertory leatre from April 23-27. in Manhattan, the play details the Jty of a gay black man, who claims to me son of Sidney Poitier. Flaunting such credentials and knowledge of the family, he works his way into the lives of a wealthy white family. He eventually cons them, as he has several of their friends. The fact that the leading male is gay recently stirred up controversy in Char­ lotte, where the play was last presented. Mecklenburg County Commissioners cut off funding for any art that wasn't in sup­ port of so-called "family values." "I consider it a non-issue in Boone," says Dr. Susan Cole, of Theatre and Dance, of the controversy surrounding the play. "(Six Degrees is) a play that we wouldn't normally be able to do at Appa­ lachian," says Cole. She says that it deals with current issues like dysfunctional fami­ lies, communication problems between college students and their parents and the guilt of white liberals. Though the play mixes humor with its politically and socially challenging drama, Cole warns that this is a perfor­ mance for mature audiences only. Performers include Kevin Free, Rebecca Koon and Graham Smith of the Charlotte Repertory. Theatre and Dance performers include Paul Davis Early III, C. Bradford Fairbanks, Jennifer Hilton, Matt Lewis, Jeff Madar, David Rikard, Sarah E. Ross and Ed Pilkington. Scenery, lighting, costumes and sets were designed and built by members of the Theatre and Dance Department. Six Degrees of Separation will start at 8 p.m. from April 23-26 and 7 p.m. on April 27. Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for non-students and are available at the Valborg Theatre box office. iroquai fravefs far, Picks from the pasf . r> dny Trampush Reporter lling Without Moving ••• luai's new album, Travelling ving, has given this U.K. band an and fans in the U.S. He band formed in 1992, fans k and disco knew they were aing.

Renee Cagle �Page 8 ™acnian22 R.F.D. by MIKE MARLAIUD Picks from p. 7 -i>\\\N\WVx\ I'm a late-comer to all things cool. I can't help it. I was raised in an area where no "cool/alter­ native/college" rock was available. The hip things were Motley Crue, Poison, Def Leppard and other spandex-clad, misogynist, teasedhair rockers. The first things even remotely cool (which I still think are very cool) that crept into my musical life were the Beastie Boys, Inxs's Kick and the Sex Pistols. Through I friends, I was able to pull myself, . quite willingly, from the throes of ' schlock-rock boredom by high . school. I was like everyone else for a while. Digging by teeth into grunge was a pleasant experience. Alice in Chains was my first en­ counter, but of course, what are they but a really interesting metal band? Nirvana became an inter­ est pretty late. I played in a band with a very cool fellow who lived in Australia for a while. He turned me on to Kurt, along with the oc­ casional Ween and Primus. By the end of school, I had a bit of a clue. The point of this history, which probably means little to you, is to say that it's never too late to get into better music. And, yes, this is a blatant insult to several shallow genres of music that offer no sub­ stance. I can't apologize for listening to crap for most of my life. Crap happens. There are a few albums out there that may help you out if you want something old, but still very fresh.

The task force was charged by the chancellor on Feb. 24 to investigate these issues. There have been 30 issues brought up and four subcommittees are review­ ing the issues. The committee will come up with recommendations and submit them to the chancellor on May 1. Not many students attended the meeting, but those who did voiced their concerns and asked many questions rang­ ing from potential changes in the visita­ tion policy to possible elimination of the Block Party. White Hall Resident Student As­ sociation President Olivia Pleasants said, "We feel that taking away the Block Party will cause more problems in the long run. There will be partying in the streets and off campus (which) will filter into the Boone area." Director of Housing Operations and task force member Brad Reid said, "Our minds have not been made up on any single issue at this point." Reid also stressed that the stu­ dent input is very vital to the decision making process. On the issue of student rights, some students felt if visitation policies were tougher and drinking rights were re­ voked on campus, this would be infring­ ing on their rights as a student. If any changes occur affecting housing like having no alcohol, then there will be a notice to all students during the summer to inform them of the change or changes. Reid said if changes do occur in housing, then students may be able to be released from their housing contract if they would not be happy living under the new conditions. All of these recommendations will be looked at during the Task Force ses­ sions. The task force members stressed that living on campus is a privilege and if the decision was made to eliminate alco­ hol on campus, it would not be violating student rights. There are many other issues that the task force will tackle as well. The mem­ bers will meet again on April 25 in a large meeting with all the members and discuss the issues in depth. Brad Reid, director of housing operations discuss concerns of students about Appalachian student life.

Business center to promote industry ASU News Bureau Western North Carolina indus­ tries large and small are being encour­ aged to tap into the state's growing ex­ port markets, and Appalachian State Uni­ versity is playing a major role. Paul Combs and Jean Pierre Courbois, both economics professors at ASU, have received $250,000 through Ap­ palachian Regional Commission grants to help manufacturers explore and improve their export options and to establish the Appalachian International Business Cen­ ter, part of the Broyhill Institute which Combs directs. North Carolina's exports totaled $17.5 billion in 1996. The top grossing exports were industrial machinery and equipment, chemicals, transportation equipment, electronics, textile mill prod­ ucts, apparel and and agriculture. But exporting isn't limited to big business or big-ticket items. Smaller in­ dustries, however, may need more assis­ tance exploring their options and getting started. That is where the AIBC comes in. "A lot of the smaller firms don't have knowledge of international markets or resources to devote to getting started in international trade," Combs said. "We can help supply resources for those who can't afford to devote a lot of time and energy themselves." Through the AIBC, business stu­ dents and the professors can provide ba­ sic background research on a product's international market potential and help industries develop marketing plans, ex­ plore what markets to pursue, determine pricing, packaging and distribution of a product and if a product should be rede­ signed to meet foreign needs. The center also refers businesses to state and federal agencies offering ex­ port assistance. Students and other cen­ ter staff will help businesses use the Internet to learn about exporting and to communicate with others about the logis­ tics of developing a foreign customer base. "An important part of our origi­ nal concept was using technology to help others learn about trade," Combs said. Few manufacturers, however, have access to the Internet, so AIBC staff will help businesses find a local Internet provider and train individuals to use the technol­ ogyA web page, located at http// www.bibd.appstate.edu/aibc, provides links to online international business re­ sources, an export tutorial, and informa­ tion about import/export firms. Additions will include a "bulle­ tin board" where businesses can list in­ ternational job opportunities, where those looking for international opportunities can post their resumes, and where AIBC. members can participate in on-line dis­ cussions about export-related topics. To further assist others in explor-1 ing world export opportunities, the AIBC has revived the N.C. World Trade Asso­ ciation Foothills Chapter and is providing administrative support to the organiza­ tion. Combs believes both the NCWTA chapter and website are valuable "vehicles for increasing awareness about trade." The grant has also funded a sat­ ellite center at Western Carolina Univer­ sity which works with businesses in the western corner of the state. "Our goal is to build western North Carolina's export capacity and in the process provide excellent educational experiences for our students," Combs said. �T1»e Appalachia, Health Fair attracts a crowd Wednesday the student union hosted a health fair along with a blood drive.

In the past, Leadership Cabinet members have I to discuss extremely important issues such as :ty, the sense of community among students business issues such as student fees. This year, Blimling called an emergency meetof the Cabinet along with Dr. Barbara Daye Chancellor Francis Borkowski, to discuss lal assault and safety on-campus.

Eventually I came up with three speakers that I thought would be perfect. Bear in mind that we have more than one commencement so we could use all three of these guys if we wanted to Here goes: (Hunter S. Thompson (journalist)- Here's a guy that knows about being controversial. Thompson , would be ideal since he's engaged in just about ev­ ery variety of misbehavior known to our society (at least the more fun varieties anyway) and he'd prob­ ably show up at the commencement drunk as a skunk. Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind anybody as a speaker if they were drunk as a skunk. The best part about Hunter S. Thompson is, he's totally insane. G. Gordon Liddy (former Nixon era FBI man and current talk-radio personality) - This is a guy that knows how to make people mad. If protestors got too close to him, he'd lay 'em out with a 10mm. This is a man who's been in prison and likes to burn his arm with a lighter to show his endurance of pain. In his speech Liddy could make mention his advice on shooting at ATF agents (aim for the head not for the chest) or he could talk about his role in the Watergate scandal. What's Watergate you ask? Read a book. Again, the best part about Mr. Liddy is, he's to­ tally insane. "Macho Man" Randy Savage (professional wres­ tler) - If you want to see a speaker who wouldn't be averse to attacking the chancellor with a steel chair, then here's your man. While everyone else would be wearing somber black caps and gowns he'd be decked out in a bright yellow cape and a pair of sunglasses. I'd get Randy just so I could here him say, 'The graduates of today are our future, oh yeah." Do not tell me you would not want to see that. And need I mention, the Macho Man is totally insane. There you go. Let me just finish by making a personal appeal to Grand Moff Borkowski and Darth Blimling to try there best to get at least one viva­ cious and interesting speaker for this year's gradua­ tion. I don't mean an inspiring speaker, I mean an absolute nut. It won't be pretty but it will be memo­ rable. And you know that's what matters. Like Lou Reed says, gentlemen, "Take a walk on the Wild Side." Letters to the Editor'^p I bathe, don't Our name drink and smoke speaks for itself To the Editor, I am biting my tongue and writing in response to Daniel Bothun's "Auto Racing is a Waste of Oil." This opinion column was one of the most unfounded that I have ever read for two reasons: 1 )The infor­ mation was inaccurate, and 2) It was very stereo­ typical. First, NASCAR is used for apurpose by American auto manufacturers. It aids the design engineers in the development of more aerodynamic designs which will, in turn, lead to more fuel efficient cars. That is fact! Next, is the stereotype that you so cleverly, in your own mind, describe. How many greasy haired losers do you know that can fork out $70-$100+ for a single ticket to a NASCAR event. There are a class of people that somewhat fit your warped description who attend the races but they make up only a small part. Personally, I bathe, don't drink, and don't smoke. Wow! How can I be a NASCAR fan and be like that. The truth is, auto racing has become so corporate that it is hard for a lower class person to go to an event. That is why you see rows of $250,000 mobile homes there. A final note to add to your world of thinking. Since NASCAR is America's #1 spectator sport, does that mean that the majority of sports fans are greasy haired, drunken, chain smoking losers? Jason Sutherland ASU Box 07383 To the Editor, I am writing concerning little Daniel Bothun's April 10th column on NASCAR racing. I have never in my short life read such a great article. I love the way that lil' Dan shamelessly attacks NASCAR be­ cause the cars use gas, oil, and other forms of petro­ leum. He suggests that all forms of auto racing be stopped because it uses oil, instead of suggesting that maybe NASCAR would take a realistic, more mod­ ern step towards helping the environment by actu­ ally making race teams recycle motor oil. Lil' Dan (God) Bothun also notes that NASCAR generates no useful products in society, as opposed to other sports like NBA basketball, in which players like Dennis Rodman serve as great role models to today's kids. Lil' Dan also noted that all NASCAR fans are beneath him, since they're all nasty, greasy guys who do nothing but sit around and drink, and abso­ lutely none of them are nice, middle class people who live in nice suburbs and are the only ones who can afford $75 tickets to races in Charlotte. I just wanted to say thanks, Lil' Dan, for using your highly informed, highly justified opinions about NASCAR and NASCAR fans to write yet another great article, in The Appalachian, a newspaper who's name speaks for itself when it lets really cool people like you write for it.

I'm sure those of you who with Bob Hutton ow what I'm talking about are now releasing a colective groan. For those of you who are new to ASU Columnist this year, let me fill you in. Last spring, the administration scheduled Sena­ tor Jesse Helms as the commencement speaker for the business college. That announcement initiated a cacaphony of complaints the likes of which has never been seen at ASU. Oh friends, it was awful. Angry letters were writ­ ten. Nasty signs were posted.

Little ASU Box 14250 Dance ensemble kicks butt To the Editor, In the three years that I have been a student at ASU, I have attended every Theater & Dance pro­ duction (with one exception) since the Valborg The­ atre opened it's doors in 1994 with the inaugural "A Midsummer Night's Dream", as well as dozens of plays in I.G. Greer Arena theater. As with all theater departments, some productions fly, others crash. But what never fails to soar is The Appala­ chian Dance Ensemble's spring presentation of dances choreographed by both students and faculty. It is con­ sistently the highlight of the season. Dance professor Marianne Adams and her colleagues always deliver a performance that is fraught with insight, inspira­ tion and artistry. Friday night, I came home a very happy specta­ tor, for this year's production was magnificent! This is particularly rewarding considering that ASU does not offer an undergraduate degree specifically in Dance. They have always been the "David" defend­ ing itself against the "Goliath" of the Theater depart­ ment, fighting for its share of money, attention, and respectability. In the third area, David always tri­ umphs. With a minimum of departmental resources, the choreographers and designers have always delivered work that challenges and entertains our hearts and minds. I enthusiastically applaud all those involved in The Appalachian Dance Ensemble, this year and in years past. They have created a level of artistry that is so far unmatched by other, greater financed and touted theatrical productions in the Valborg. I ap­ preciate the tremendous joy and wonder I experi­ ence each time I attend their spring show. Another knockout for David.

Jenifer Bubenik • Jason Childers ASU Box 6456 Box 15014 important Leaders are people too To the Editor, In regards to the article on the Task Force, there was mention of the difference between a "common student" and a "student leader." My question to you is, what con­ stitutes a difference between the two? Is a student leader not a com­ mon student, and if not, do they have some distinguished advan­ tage to being members of the com­ mittees chosen by the Chancellor? From an administrative point of view, if one was concerned about issues, who would he/she choose: someone who has shown a con­ cern for such issues by taking simi­ lar roles in other student organi­ zations that address those issues, or a "common student" who may not be familiar with such an issue? Those who continue to show dedi­ cation and commitment usually are the ones chosen to be a part of the team. For example, if you are in the stands of a football game and a player is injured, would you choose a fan who has seen all the games, or a sideline player who has practiced with the team and knows all the team goals? If you believe that "common students" should be involved, then why not get involved? Prove yourself to have a legitimate reason for being chosen, prove yourself to others of your commitment, and prove to others that you would be a valu­ able asst to the team and you might get chosen to play the game.

What kind of students be­ come leaders? In my interaction with fellow student leaders, I have come to see some common traits we share. Student leaders have most of the same concerns of other stu­ dents. We deal with classes, end­ less papers, having no money, pull­ ing all-nighters and trying to make time for fun just like every other student. We don't get any special tu­ ition breaks or insanely high pay for what we do. Some of us have other jobs and most of us have other involvements with on-campus organizations. Many of us de­ vote at least 30 hours a week to our leadership positions- time which takes away from our aca­ demic and social lives. The major difference I see be­ tween what Rikard called, "com­ mon students," and student lead­ ers is that leaders seek responsi­ bility. Student leaders have sim­ ply chosen to devote themselves to leading an organization whereas "common students" have chosen to participate at a regular member­ ship level. Student leaders go the extra step and take on the de- h i a n 1 ,, mands of leading an organization. Many times, these students seek such positions at the urging of their peers who encourage them to lead. NEED WE BUY USED CD>SU What's it like to be a student leader? To answer this question, I en­ listed the help of other student leaders. "It's a very demanding posi­ tion to have on-campus, said Kim Uttenhove, CRSA president. "When people see you off-campus you have to remember that they still you in your leadership role and not just as another person. Jonathan Mauney, station manager for WASU (90.5 The APP) expressed another point of view. "I'm a student too. It doesn't mean I'm out of touch just because I have a leadership position. I live in a residence hall just like any­ one else, I take classes, and other than that I have a job that just hap­ pens to be a student leadership position," he said. Todd Poole, SGA vice-presi­ dent, had yet another take on the question. "Student leaders are 'common students' who are in­ volved. Through our involve­ ments, we are able ot interact with students from different areas pro­ viding us with insight on the cam­ pus and student attitudes," he said. Speaking of the Task Force mem­ bers Rikard referred to, Poole said, "We all have the same goals on the Task Force whether you consider yourself a leader or a common stu­ dent. We want to make ASU and the ASU community a safer place." 965 Riyers 265-2287 (CATC OPENEVERYS UNTIL MlDNifJj , APPLETREE Ap??f Two Blocks from c.^" Furnished 2 BR lif"1 Washer-Dryer Dishwasher, micro#.

The station that got its start as a IOHO FM station in a small room in _ lapel Wilson Hall has now grown to put heights and is celebrating 25 years broadcasting. The APP went through several names eluding "Boone's Rock 'n Roll Animal," IRock," and "WASU" before adopting 0.5 The APP" in the fall of 1995. The station, now located on the third »r of Wey Hall, broadcasts in stereo aery kind of program that one can think Wright, the first student on the air back in April of 1972. Wright, who now works in sales for an AM station in Greensboro, will re-en­ act the first morning on the air with his show, "Great Awakening." The show will be in correlation with "Tim and Sherry in Climbers present slide-show of Venezuelan trip up waterfall wall the Morning." The "Great Awakening meets Tim and Sherry in the Morning" show will start off at 6 a.m. Throughout the day The APP will mix music from 1972 into their regular rota­ tion. There are many things you can do to get involved at the radio sta­ tion. The APP is always looking for volunteer? to help out with their various programs, and if you're interested in being a DJ, there is a DJ class that you can take. In order to get on the air, you have to make a certain grade in the class. According to Music Director Scotty D. Immel, a senior from Long Island, New York, the station is a great music market. "It gives you high quality music with a personal touch." Congratulations to The APP for all of its hard work! They have come a long way! Due to unforeseen^ budgetary issues, we will not run crossword puzzles for the rest of this year. have a good time and learn how to get involved with groups trying to make a dif­ ference in the area," says Williford. The festival is being held at Turkey Tom's Music Park near Ferguson, N.C. and should provide a beautiful atmosphere for such an occasion. It's located on a lush, green field with a large pond. There will also be a Kiddie Village set up for the little ones. Carpooling is encouraged, so load up the van or bus or whatever mode of trans­ portation you happen to use and come out and celebrate the day dedicated to Mother Earth. How to get there; take 421S 9.9 miles past the Parkway bridge, just beyond the end of the four lane; turn right onto Lewis Fork Church Road and ride it out to the dead end, then turn right; go 8/10 of a mile and turn right on Mt. Zion Road; the festival will appear about 6.4 miles on the left; the trip should take you about 40 minutes if you're doing the speed limit. Have fun and be safe.

"It's an opportu­ nity to come out and Reporter This summer, Amy Talley, Michelle Steiner and Kris Adams will spend ten weeks involved in an experiential learn­ ing internship and leadership develop­ ment program with Student Action with Farm Workers, or SAF, in Western North Carolina. SAF is a non-profit organization that allows students to perform services with farm workers, an unrecognized and un­ derpaid, yet, hardworking segment of our population, and agencies and community groups which are constantly in need of human resources. The summer service-learning project known as Into The Fields is coordinated yearly by SAF to give students the oppor­ tunity to work in the farm worker com­ munity. Through their participation, in­ terns promote justice and respect for the men and women who provide the food we put on our tables. A primary result is the supportive at­ mosphere farm workers will be a part of, which they hopefully will come to expect. Farm workers, including migrant farm workers who are transitory in their search for employment, commonly work unbear­ ably long hours for low wages. Many workers are from other countries that suf­ fer from economic difficulties, forcing them to seek other alternatives in order to provide for their families or simply themselves. Others are from rural areas of the United States and depend on farm work for sustenance. Interns provide much needed skills and energy to organi­ zations serving farm workers, and in re­ turn are rewarded with a life-changing experience. To promote awareness of and to edu­ cate the Boone and ASU communities about the struggles which face workers daily in the United States, the film El Norte will be shown on campus at 8 p.m. in the Alpine Lounge, April 24. The interns are selling raffle tickets, for which over 30 great prizes have been generously donated by local Boone busi­ nesses. The drawing will be held May 1. Tickets cost $2 apiece and will be sold at the El Norte showing. The interns will also hold two yard sales at the Unitarian Universalist Church on Saturday, April 19, and the following Saturday, April 26, beginning at 8 a.m. All proceeds will serve to fund the women this summer during their internship. Any persons wishing to donate items to be sold at the yard sales, please contact Amy Talley at 264-0871. Transportation to pick up the items can be arranged, and all donations are welcome and appreciated.

When it seems like a player is on the verge of washing out he makes a bee-line for wrestling. It really wasn't that surprising when Dennis Rodman came forward with the news that he was going to be a "wrassler." If there was ever a character in the NBA that belongs in the ring, it's Rodman. The man cross-dresses, freaks people out, and most importantly, he is frequently seen in his underwear. What else do you need to be a wrestler? Steve McMichael, a former Chi­ cago Bears defensive stand-out, has been in the WCW for awhile racking up retire­ ment dollars. Now the former All-Pro is going to fight another All-Pro, Reggie White, in the ring. Yes, Reggie White. The match will take place on May 18 at the WCW's Slamboree pay-per-view show in Charlotte. WCW officials refuse to comment on how much White will make for the appearance. In the same arena, on the same ticket., Kevin Greene is going to wrestle. It was ironic listening to the an­ nouncers call White a wimp and calling football a "fake sport" on Monday Night Nitro, the WCW's answer to Monday Night Football. Wrestling, despite the athleticism of the performers, is not a real sport. It is as, features editor John Starling put it, a soap opera geared toward men. Amusingly enough, the WinstonSalem Journal covers WCW wrestling, not in the Sports section, but in the Enter­ tainment section along with the television listings. No self-respecting Sports Editor would consider giving "wrasslin'" the space. In Trouble again Trouble is in the making for Jerry "the Shark" Tarkanian yet again. Attor­ neys for Fresno State point guard Derrick Young have filed suit against 'The Fresno Bee" concerning reports that Young is the focus of a point shaving investigation. The report said Young has con­ sorted with illegal bookies, gamblers, Robinson see page 11 Get off the couch and play Danny Sink Staff Writer sports commentary I can still remember the day when I finally realized that I was never going to be an NFL quarterback. You enow, back when we were little we all tad those pictures of what we were go­ ing to be when we grew up. Those were the days. No thoughts of responsibilities beyond mak­ ing it home before dinner and washing behind your ears. Back then I was just sure that I was going to be a big-time quarterback. Never mind that I could not get the ball two feet in front of me. I was, after all, just a kid. As I grew the real­ ization that my arms were like jelly com­ pared to the John Elways of the NFL brought the realization that I was not exactly pro material. Sometimes at night I still have those childhood dreams. I am the back­ up QB in the big game, the starter gets knocked out, I hear the coach call "SINK, get over here!" It's fourth down, 20 seconds left in the game and 80 yards to go. Well, you know I air the ball out for a touch­ down. But enough with my own dreams. I do not want all you people in psychology to start analyzing me. There is no telling what kind of weird things might be hidden in my psyche. The point is that deep down in all of us there is this person that longs to make the big play. All of us want to feel that spotlight shining down on us and hear the praise and envy of every­ one. This is where the backyard as­ pect comes in. Here at ASU we have something that is sometimes hard to find: a good community. Any night of the week I can go up to the Quinn with friends or by myself and find a basket­ ball game. And I stink at basketball. (Hey what do you expect out of short fat guy?) In the winter after a snow all you have to do is go to Duck Pond field and there is a game of football, in the spring ultimate Frisbee. In these "back­ yard" games I am able to live out those dreams of my youth. Okay, ask any of the guys that I have played against and they will tell you I still cannot throw the ball, but I can get out there and play. On those rare occasions that I catch a pass or bust through the line on a hand-off I am in that spotlight that haunts my dreams. This is what loving a sport is all about. There is always a big fuss over how the pro players are overpaid and have lost the love you must have to play the game. In this same way I look at a lot of sports fans and wonder where the ove is. Is there love in sitting on the couch all the time and watching the games? No. To truly have the love for a game means that you not only enjoy watching a sport, but you love playing it. The challenge of competition brings out the true fanatic in all of us and re­ minds us why we loved the sport in the first place. The only way to truly enjoy watching another perform in a sport is understanding that sport in a way that only a participant can. Watching a Michael Jordan soar through the air or a Kevin Greene bust through an offen­ sive line is so much better when you realize how difficult it is to do what they succeed at. 1 do not mean to attack those people who simply watch sports and do not participate. 1 only want them to re­ alize that there are ways out there for every student on this campus to partici­ pate. Backyard sports have been a way of life for me. Sure I have played on organized teams from T-ball in el­ ementary school up to track my senior year in high school. But nothing beats those backyard games. Chances are there are not go ing to be any strange voices beckoning you to "build it and they will come However, by just grabbing a ball and some friends you can turn just about any field in the Boone area into your very own field of dreams. Play, and you'" see where I am coming from. �The Appalachian 17 ^ Page 10 Mi997 ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SPORTS? lalai ifApP' you might want to consider a part-time Job in the exciting field of sports journalism writing for The Appalachian.

"An Evening of Comedy" One copy free Appalachian State University Boone, North Carolina 28608 Discussion educates students in latest AIDS breakthroughs Katie Ward Reporter An AIDS Awareness discussion was held in the Multicultural Center of Plemmons Student Union last Wednes­ day in hopes of presenting some new, positive information on the virus. The discussion was led by Dr. Patricia Geiger, a physician at Appalachian's Health Services. Dr. Gei­ ger stressed the importance of reviewing the old information, as well as keeping up with the latest breakthroughs. This once nameless disease, first known as a strange illness in gay men, appeared in 1981. However, it was not until 1985 that the causes and a diagno­ sis were fully understood. The HIV virus is transmitted through the exchange of bodily fluids, such as through the blood or semen. Al­ though present in saliva, it is not in large enough amounts to be transmitted this way. Although not often mentioned, there is a 25 percent chance that the vi­ rus can be transmitted maternally to the fetus, including passage through the breast milk. "In our twelve years experience with this virus, it has not been shown to spread in any other way, " Geiger said. Geiger stressed the importance of knowing that once contracted, the vi­ rus is contagious from the time it enters the body, regardless of how healthy you may appear. However, it may take as long as three months to appear on the HIV antibody test. This sensitive antibody test is the only known method of determining Dr. Patricia Geiger presents information about AIDS. (Photo by M. Evans) whether the virus is present, and accord­ ing to Geiger it has proven to be almost 100 percent effective. "There have been cases of false positives but not false negatives,"she said. There have also been limited HIV cases that are medically referred to as nonprogressors. These patients have no sign of progression from HIV to full blown AIDS. Geiger commented on one of the latest breakthroughs, anonymous home testing. Most of the home tests examine a blood sample, but a limited number also test the saliva. "From what I understand, it is a good test. I like the way it is done," she said. The treatment for HIV has changed over the past several years, and the most commonly heard of drug for pa­ tients is AZT. The virus attacks the im­ mune system by entering certain cells, replicating, and eventually destroying the cells. AZT has proven to slow the pro­ gression by slowing the replication pro­ cess. In the last year, however, there See AIDS, p3 lampus NAACP sponsors affirmative action debate Singers present concert Get in touch: Advertising- 262-2157 Story Ideas- 262-6233 News & Sports- 262-6233 Features & Editorials262-3104 Above: The panel waits for a question from the moderator at the recent Affirmative Action forum.

Volume 71, Number 43 There will be an open meeting of the Task Force on Student Life today and tomorrow from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. in the Student Union. Brad Reid, the director of hous­ ing and the chair of the task force, said that the purpose of the open meetings is to "listen to students." The task force hopes to get stu­ dent feedback on proposed recommenda­ tions it has considered giving to the Chan­ cellor and to hear what students believe would improve the environment on cam­ pus. Chancellor Borkowski organized the task force at the beginning of this se­ mester after a wave of violent acts against students. Reid said that none of the committee's decisions are set in stone and that is why they are seeking student in­ put. Because the committee is consid- "I'm not a student leader, but I can tell you more about what's going on in the residence halls." -R.D. Rikard, junior, responding to the fact that only student leaders were chosen to be on the committee ered a public body, all of the task force's meetings are announced to students. At the task force's first meeting on February 14 Borkowski charged the organization with examining such issues as drug use and abuse on campus, sexual assault and harassment, alcohol use and .abuse, residence hall visitation and cam­ pus safety. The task force, which Reid called "a diverse group" is composed of faculty, student leaders, parent and OASIS repre­ sentatives and Board of Trustees members. Task force members are respon­ sible for making recommendations to the Chancellor on or before May 1. At the last committee meeting, several students and faculty members voiced their opinions on campus issues. There was discussion about rumored pro­ posals such as restriction of residence hall visitation and 24 hour card access to the residence halls. Committee members assured stu­ dents that no recommendations had been decided upon yet and that student input would be heavily considered before any proposals were made. Some students, however, felt frus­ trated by the committee's actions so far. R. D. Rikard, a junior from Black Mountain, said that in the end average students have little opportunity to give their input to the committee. He said that since only student leaders were chosen to be on the committee that the "common students" didn't have a voice. "I'm not a student leader, but I can tell you more about what's going on in the residence halls." Task force members hope, how­ ever, that meetings like those this week will help to get more student input from a broad range of students. Reid said that students must come, however, and be ready to voice their opinions. �Page 2 TheAppalae hianis APri] Gaither delivers CEO series lecture The°utd^>- Speech interrupted by fire alarm, evacuation _ T-* Hi ' • pany.

Jeff Simms Reporter With graduation an especially timely issue, being only weeks away, many stu­ dents are wondering what to expect from the post-graduate job market. What majors produce the most em­ ployed graduates? What types of skills are employers looking for in 1997? Dr. David Ball of the Career Devel­ opment Center says that employers ap­ proaching ASU graduates tend not to be "major specific" in what they're looking for, but with today's job market, they have become more "skill specific." In other words, according to Dr. Ball, there are "certain things all students can do to enhance their employability, regard­ less of (their) major." In his opinion, the job market is stron­ ger now than it has been in years, and he reiterated that, "People hire people. They don't hire diplomas or majors." He went on to say that college ma­ jors shouldn't limit a student's horizons, but should actually broaden them. Communication and technology skills were among those Ball cited as vital in today's job market. He also mentioned that employers today look for analytical and problem solving skills, as well as the ability to work well in teams. Academic accolades such as GPAs and other honors, along with co-curricular activities, are looked at by employers, though he again stressed that the multi­ dimensional student leaves school with a distinct advantage. Internship experience and foreign language ability also definitely work to a student's advantage. "With the globalization of the market­ place, there is a developing need for bi­ lingual graduates," said Ball. Students preparing themselves for post-graduate work can also get a head start with the Career Development Center's on-line resume service, located on the third floor of the new John Tho- see Job on p.8 Singin' In The Rain One of America's favorite musicals, Singin In The Rain, is coming to the Ap­ palachian campus tomorrow night at 8 p.m. in Farthing Auditorium.

I pulled up my $14.56 hip waders, to from Wal-Mart, and pulled on my st, loaded with cheap flies and a re­ ady purchased North Carolina Compre­ ssive Fishing License. Which is important, because it's the "to have one. The man is out there looking for the poachers. I know, I've waited in a courtroom while the judge overslept to be sentenced for fishing with­ out a license. Years ago, two fully armed game war­ dens ambushed me while I was urinating in some bushes. Twenty miles from the nearest house, three miles from the near­ est dirt road, they had successfully tracked the most vile criminal, a poacher, red handed. Ah, the law, but I digress. For my first day of the year, I chose the Watauga River, with its wide open bed, perfect for the short cast and the rusty angler. I was below the Appalachian Angler, right off 105. With a modified noose, which I tied with the skill of an old Eagle Scout, I attached a number 12 Bead Head and a couple weights. Casting above a pool, into the ripples, the fly submerged and dragged along the bottom, perfectly imitating a nymph, com­ mon food for the little bastards this time of year. But no luck. No hits. Up stream and try again. Must be the fly. Sun comes out and the little bastards are hitting the surface. Bottom fishing is fine but I prefer the dry fly. I tie on a number 14 Quill Gordon, and with short true casts, probe the stream where I last saw the bugger strike. Then things fall apart. My line gets caught in a tree across the stream. While wading over to free it, I fall, filling my rubber waders with water. On my face, rod downstream, death by drowning emi­ nent, I come to the revelation that I really do need professional advice on how to do this sport. Under the guise of a reporter for the school newspaper, I wander up to the Appalachian Angler for free information.

This year's judges, Charles Johnson, owner of Charles Johnson Custom Color Inc. and Jim McGuire, professional pho­ tographer, have been chosen from Char­ lotte. Johnson is the owner of a well known and respected color lab in Charlotte. He works directly with professional photog­ raphers on a daily basis and limits the numbers of his client base so that he can provide the greatest possible professional service. McGuire is a freelance professional photographer who operates his own stu­ dio in Charlotte. He is primarily known for his unique lighting, point of view and leading edge portraiture. Entries in the contest will be judged on both technical and creative achieve­ ments. Prizes in the contest include a $100 purchase prize, a $200 grand prize and additional awards and prizes. Last year's winners were, ASU gradu­ ate Molly Baldwin for first place, senior Krysti Adams for second place and junior Troy Hittle for third place. Work chosen for the exhibition will be on display at the Looking Glass Gal­ lery from April 28 through May 9. Only photographs selected by the jury will be displayed in the exhibition. Winners of the Third Annual Creative Photography Contest will be notified dur­ ing the Looking Glass Gallery Exhibition. Opening reception will be held on May 2. who along with his identical twin brother Theo, owns the Appalachian Angler. Haden, smoking a Camel, entertains me. Professional hunters are by nature a very seiious breed. They usually have no time for hacks like myself. But a vague prom­ ise of free publicity keeps him talking. "The fishing's real good. The fish are happy. The water temperature's rising and they're hungry," Haden says, eyeing me with macho suspicion. Since, I pre­ sume, his shop sells flies, he does tell me what the fish are biting. He recommends smaller Quill Gordons and Hendricksons, number 14 Olive and Black, and Royal Coachman for top fishing. For the bot­ tom, he says try Bead Heads and Hare Nymphs with some weight. I ask him where the hot spots are, but by now he has grown tired of my un­ informed questions and definitely does not want to see me at his favorite holes. So he vaguely refers to the North Carolina back country and its small streams. He gives me some^proaxMional litera­ ture and we say a weak good-bye. I leave feeling small, and with no new informa­ tion. So if you want to do some fishing and are just starting out, go down to the Watauga and park where all the other anglers do or in Haden's lot. He doesn't mind. He also doesn't mind that I mention the free fly casting clinic he gives every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 11a.m. If you really want to experience the best fishing North Carolina has to offer and have one hell of an adventure getting there, buy a map and find a little stream in the middle of nowhere. Maybe you'll come up with a spot that you'll want to keep to yourself like Haden. And remember, if you are lucky enough to catch one of the little bastards, be a real man and let him go.

Most of the faculty have traveled to these countries numerous times and are well known in the field, having published books and articles relevant to the study of the region.

A young tart is taking not just the golfing, but entire sporting world by storm not just ause of his incredible golfing skills, but ause of his breaking of one of the last barriers in the sports world. That man is Tiger Woods of ise. And almost 50 years to the day Jackie Robinson became the first ikman to play Major League baseball, ads became the first black man to win ibe-all and end-all of golf tournaments, Masters. Woods' victory at Augusta only Is to the lore that has been building it this man-child ever since he won record-setting third U.S. Amateur title than a year ago. His Masters record 12-stroke victory over second place finisher Tom Kite marks the beginning of not only what should be one of the most impressive careers of any athlete since Hank Aaron, but a new era in professional golf. The game of golf went through its first breakthrough from a sport strictly followed by the elite country club types to something for that could entertain the masses over 30 years ago when a young charismatic star named Arnold Palmer put professional golf on the map in 1960's. Now, golf is going through a second period of change in which the clubhouse door will open for even more Americans. And it is a change that professional golf has needed for quite some time. For years golf has been the game of the upper class in this country and throughout the world. Although some minority players have cracked into the golfing world, most notably Lee Elder, Charlie Sifford and Ted Rhoades, none has been as good or as promising as Woods. Mike Daniels Sports Editor sports commentary Just look at what the Woods story did for the television ratings. The young star helped CBS to take in a record 8.3 million viewers on their Saturday coverage of the tournament. Although Sunday's ratings aren't in yet, they are probably much higher than that despite the fact that the match was never really close. Nike president Phil Knight, who was probably ecstatic to see the cameras Ipps ink two prospects for next season Justin Griffin Assistant Sports Editor The Appalachian State men's letball team has began their reloading tess for the next season with off-season touts and the signing of two recruits, McFadden, 6-5, 220 lbs., of Danville, and Mike Coffey, 6-7, 230 lbs., from iy County. McFadden played basketball his atyear in Connecticut and moved back taville to play his senior year. Along his familiarity with different styles 'lay along the east coast, McFadden, * pressing 315 lbs., brings impressive "?th to the program. "He's (McFadden) a kid that can & the ball and post up at 6-5," said "1 Coach Buzz Peterson. "We're really excited about what he can do on the floor. He's just a big-sized kid." Coffey, from Avery County High School, runs the court well and supplies the Mountaineers with much-needed size and athleticism. "His (Coffey's) uprise will be in the future. He'll really be a valuable player for us," Peterson remarked. "There is so much potential there. Coffey's arrival will hopefully bring more fan support from the community. "When I went to watch Mike play at the sectionals, (of the state playoffs) Avery County had their section filled up to the baseline," Peterson commented. "Hopefully those people will come over and Mike will do well." As for which of the recruits will end up contributing more next year, Peterson takes a wait and see attitude. "It may be easier for Coffey to make the adjustment than McFadden," said Peterson. "You never know how young men mature and what there reaction will be when they get on campus. Despite the two signings, the Mountaineers still have one scholarship available. Peterson may or may not fill it in the coming week. "We want somebody with some post skills, (who can) take people off the drive, somebody with leadership skills," remarked Peterson. "We want the best mix of the three." Other than recruiting, Appalachian will also be working in the weight room and in the gym in the off­ season. Each player has a weight plan and takes a thousand shots a week. "I've instructed them that this is the most important part of the season for us, " Peterson said. "This is where we have got to get stronger and get better."

Are you interested in Sports? you might want to consider a part-time job in the 0rts journalism field writing for The Appalachian. So continually pointed towards Woods and his Nike apparel, said that "He creates a lot of drama even when he's way ahead." That was definitely true Sunday as the drama seemed to build only greater as Woods increased his lead. Golfs first "revolution" opened the door for middle class, mainly suburban, Americans to hit the links. Now Tiger Woods may open the door for many lower class and minority Americans to take up golf. That is not to say that Woods is a lower class American because even before he played in his first professional tournament and got his multi-million dollar contract from Nike, Woods was what most Americans would consider to be upper class. But it is hard to deny that despite his background, Woods has taken on an almost symbolic role as a liberator to many because he is the first black golfer to make a serious impact on the golfing world. Mountaineers continue to struggle in series with Bulldogs Kathy Beam Staff Writer Appalachian State again met with defeat this week at home and on a road trip to Charleston, S.C. The Mountaineers lost to Wake Forest in their home game in Hickory and were swept jy The Citadel Bulldogs in the three game series. Wake Forest beat the Mountaineers 7-2 in the Wednesday game. Dave Malecki and Cliff Cameron 30th went 2-4 at the plate with one RBI during the loss. Appalachian had eight fits but only two runs on the night. John Anderson pitched his second loss of the year, leaving him at 0-2. The first game of the weekend series, which was the first part of a Saturday afternoon doubleheader, ended in an 8-6 victory for the home team. The Citadel took the early lead by scoring a run in the first. The Bulldogs sealed the ead with three runs in the third inning, and another three in the fourth. Kenny Osborne and Andy Cheek went 2-4 during the game, scoring two runs each. Appalachian's offense put together eight hits in the first game. Dan Stutzman picked up the pitching loss for the Mountaineers, dropping his record to 2-3. The Mountaineers' troubles got worse as they dropped the second game 6-5. The loss marked the third straight time that the Apps have dropped both ends of a doubleheader.

Southern Conference Baseball Standings ETSU le Because of Woods, many young minority children may begin to pick up a golf club and take an interest in what is a fun game despite the fact that it is extremely boring to watch on television. But that is an entirely different story so I won't expound on it any further. Golf is a fun game to play mostly because it is the only game in which the competitor competes not only against others, but against him or herself. I know from experience from having spent many fun and frustrating hours on the golf course playing by myself and with others. I have always thought that more people would enjoy the game if they just had the opportunity or desire to play. Although Tiger Woods cannot buy clubs and pay greens fees for every child in America who cannot afford the game, he can help instill in them the desire to play. Hopefully that will help to knock golf down a little more from its status as a game open only to America's elite.

The countersuit was filed in re­ sponse to a defamation of character suit issued against Coone in February by Kendrick Byrd, Fredrick Sellers, Kevin McLain, Gordon Fenderson, Rodney Tho­ mas and Desmond Adams. The defama­ tion suit came after Coone accused the six men of raping her. Court documents state four de­ fense claims against the plaintiffs in the countersuit. The first defense states that any statement from Coone was truthful and cannot constitute slander or libel. The second part is that any state­ ment allegedly made by Coone was in ac­ cordance with an absolute privilege and cannot be libel or slander. Another claim was that any al­ leged statement about the lawsuit was made in accordance to a qualified privi­ lege. The last claim states that the plaintiffs had already consented to the statements that Coone had already made. Those statements are the basis of the law- Jay Konstantaras Assistant News Editor Coone requests that she should see Countersuit p. 2 Senior Jason Hatcher, former defensive lineman for the Mountain­ eers and a basketball cheerleader, was found guilty of assault on a female and sentenced to 24 months probation on March 25. b site workshop An HTML Web Site Workshop be held today at 6 p.m. in Kerr Scott auditorium.

Hatcher was arrested, and later freed on $500 bond. Hatcher initially received a sentence of 30 days in Watauga County jail for the misdemeanor as­ sault, but the sentence was suspended in favor of probation. Hatcher played in all 13 games for the Mountaineers this year. Although he is enrolled for fall semes­ ter classes, he will be ineligible for the team. Student dies in auto wreck Beth Bliss Staff Writer Kenneth Dale Potts, 21, a junior at Appalachian, was killed in an automo­ bile accident in Guilford County Mar. 22. Potts, a technology major from High Point, transferred to Appalachian last semester. He lived on-campus in Justice Residence Hall. Barbara W. Daye, associate vicechancellor for student development who spoke with Potts' mother following his death, said Potts loved the Appalachian atmosphere and was excited to attend school in Boone. Potts was active in intramural and recreational sports on campus, Daye said. Last semester, Potts played intra­ mural flag football and basketball, and had joined a co-recreational softball team prior to his death, said sophomore Demiko M. Ervin, a friend of Potts and fellow Jus­ tice Hall resident. Outside of intramural activities, Potts enjoyed watching wrestling and playing basketball with friends, Ervin said. Ervin said Potts will be remem­ bered for his outlook on life. "He was a really positive person, no matter what kind of week he had," he said. "He always found the bright (spot) in each situation." Flowers and a memorial album were placed in the Student Union in Potts' honor. Students, faculty and staff signed the book which was later given to the Potts family on behalf of the university. �The Appalach ian 10 Page 2 Alternative dissection bill on SGA agenda proposal heads to rules committee before senate vote by-laws and a suggestion for dis­ distribute the work load of the section alternatives in core curricu­ yearly election. lum science courses.

The AAA prepares a chart each year rating new vehicles on safety features and results of crash tests. The Auto Safety Hotline (800-4249393) can provide crash-test data on vehicles tested since 1979. Tips for buying a safe car • Conduct a safety check. Nearly one in nine drivers is involved in an automobile collision each year. Some tips for determining which vehicles offer the most protection: • Make safety a top priority. During the test drive, make sure head restraints, roof structures and windshield designs do not interfere with your visibility. Avoid models with control knobs that stick out of the dashboard, increasing your chances of injury. • Consider vehicle weight. - SOURCE: Automobile Association of America (AAA); research by PAT CARR Luncheon Buffet Call Auto Safety Hotline 800-424-9393 Hext week: Teaching children about wildlife $4.95 Monday through Saturday J Gift Certificates Available Watauga Village Shopping Center (Across from Holiday Inn) Blowina Rock Rd.

Coone claims to have sufJ ]0sses and damages exceed510,000 from the plaintiffs. ' The defamation against claims that the allegations ne 'jg against the male students were false and without merit. The defamation suit is still pending and will not be tried for some time. The incident between the Coone and the six football players occured in January on two floors in Justice Residence Hall. Court documents indi­ cated that Coone was intoxicated at the time she said she was sexu­ ally assaulted. Coone never filed a crimi­ nal suit against the students but charged the men with vicflating The Code of Student Conduct un­ der the categories of misconduct and sexual assault. A university judicial board heard the charges and found five of the males guilty of "lewd, indecent, or obscene con­ duct." All six men were found not guilty of forcible or non-forc­ ible sex offense. One student was found not guilty on either charge. The five students were required to perform 25 hours of community service and receive counseling in addition to the pro­ bation and suspension sanctions. Because the countersuit and defamation suits were filed with the Watauga County Superior Court, Appalachian has no juris­ diction in either of the cases of defamation or countersuit.

C^p Letters Women's B—Ball is all that To the Editor, I am writing in response to Todd Goodman's "My Turn" concerning the WNBA which was printed in the April 3 edition of The Appalachian. To begin with, I feel the need to point out that Mr. Goodman completely overlooked any positive qualities of women's basketball. For example, the WNBA will provide positive role models for girls ev­ erywhere. Not that all NBA players are bad people, but coverage does tend to glorify traits that are gen­ erally considered as ill behavior by most, which young people then interpret as proper ways to behave. I doubt the ladies of the WNBA will engage in too much belligerent crotch-kicking or arrogant rim-swinging. And another thing, the "Vancouver Blowdryers?" If you would open your eyes to real women, Mr. Goodman, you just might realize that being pretty for you isn't necessarily what we are all about. to the 1 Editor^ seeing people who dressed the same. It was like a fishbowl of clones. Not once did I see dreadlocks, drums, love beads, or tie dye. Seeing nothing but khaki shorts and white t- shirts was downright bor­ ing! If you don't like Appalachian, leave, you were not force to go here. I'm sick and tired of the media being so negative. Why not stress the positive, so people will feel happier about being here?

Please Fernando you can't fool Letters cont. p. 6 Rebecca Jinnette ASU Box 10710 If you don't like it, leave To the Editor, I am writing in response to the April third article entitled "Reasons to Love ASU". If you don't like Appalachian State, then why did you decide to come here? College is not like high school in the sense that you are not forced to attend a college solely de­ pendent on where you live. You had a choice, and now that you are here, love it or leave it. I love ASU. I can hike in my backyard, and even though I am earless, I can sign up for an outdoors program for a small fee. If you don't like living in a dorm, why don't you get an apartment? It costs the same (I've been told). As far as food goes, one word- The Haggan Daas bar and it's on the mealcard! That is enough incen­ tive to stay here for five to six years instead of the usual four. You can buy as much candy as you want, without anyone nagging you about health. We have a mexican section instead of Taco Bell, a sub shop instead of Subway, Trivette for Italian food, the Piz­ zeria for Pizza, and you don't have to walk far to get to these places. If you don't like the food, quit whin­ ing, get a low meal plan and take the money saved and eat off campus. ASU provides students with countless employment opportunities that are flexible and convenient. Core curriculum was developed so as to give the student a well rounded edge. Think about when your child asks you to help them with their math homework, and you can't because there was no core curriculum that taught you advanced math skills. How embarrass­ ing! The VAX is effective and speedy if you go to a computer lab verses a personal computer. TRS is fast, efficient, and if all else fails, there are people to help you with problems. As for walking places. Oh no! (Gasp)! Could you possibly be exercising and get­ ting in shape? How awful! Since moving up here, I walk everywhere and am in the best shape that I've ever been in. I love diver­ sity. This was one of the reasons I choose ASU. I vis­ ited Baylor U in my college tour. It was frightening, Two l>«». �1 J * A p l c i n^, p aa ha , .

I can't blame you for every­ thing after all the student body did prove just how shallow minded they are when they elected the Little/Parker ticket. I encourage students to focus on the issues and do their research before they cast their vote in the future. Remember to look past The Appalachian for information. This so called publication is a far cry for the motto located below the title on the front page. It reads "Fairness, Accuracy, and Public Service since 1934." It should read "Injustice, in­ accurate, and a Dis-service since 1934. A better title would be the "Crappalachian". I wish I could take credit for this but it came from an alumnus. I hope you enjoy the show this coming year. Don't blame me, you get what you pay for. The amusement and deceitfulness will be infinite.

Positions available are: Writers Country Retreat App isn't for (oxy)morons To the Editor, During my attendance at Ap­ palachian, I must say the majority of experiences encountered have been pleasant. Some courses are harder then others but that's what an education is about. It's not sup­ posed to be easy. When it comes to other items of concern coming into play, the oxymorons just continue to pile up. There are terms like professional­ ism, competency, courtesy, com­ mon sense, and general intelli­ gence. These words are not con­ sidered to be oxymorons until used in conjunction with terms like A.S.U. Security, campus cable sys­ tem, and certain administrative decisions. It brings to mind the construc­ tion of new buildings and not con­ structing adequate parking facili­ ties to accommodate what is al­ ready in place. Why put in a Con­ vocation Center when parking should be a priority for those want­ ing an education? Programming for a defunct on-campus cable system should be reconsidered to fit the desires of those paying money to live on campus, not to the whims of some administrator that lives elsewhere. A.S.U. Security? That's an oxymo­ ron in its own and I don't have the space allocated to go into depth on it.

These include Clyde Roper's "Deceit" and Vallery Thompson's "White Buffalo". One of the points of the festival is to expose North Carolina film-making. In addition to the student films, which were obviously made in the state, House of Pancakes was shot on location in Wilmington, North Carolina's own little Hollywood. "A lot of people don't realize how much film-making goes on in North Caro­ lina," says Pratt.

Students get ripped over spring break Amy Foster Staff Writer Some Appalachian students Planned a Spring Break they wouldn't forget and that is exactly what they got. Trips to Cancun were planned trough Take a Break Travel. The sched­ uled time to fly out of Raleigh was 10:24 ®. on Saturday, March 1. When travelers arrived at the air­ port, they were told to pay $20 for gas for the plane. They paid the money, hien, they were told that their plane Wouldn't leave until 6 a.m. the next horning. So Saturday night, over 180 People spent the night in the concourse. Sunday rolls around and still, no Plane. Everybody was put in a motel Sunday night and told to be at the air­ port bright and early Monday morning. Travelers arrived as early as 6 a.m. Some, before the pilots showed up. Their plane finally took off at 8:30 p.m. and it arrived in Cancun at 10:30 p.m. Spring Break seemed to be get­ ting shorter and shorter by the minute. Take a Break Travel uses AV At­ lantic as their charter service. Two of their . three planes were grounded so one plane had to do all the work. The return trip was just about as bad. Some flights had to leave a day early, some left on time, and some left a day late. Some people got on another airline to make it home. Shane Owenby, a senior from Hendersonville said, "We were all really tired of being told one thing, and then something else happening. We were ex­ pecting so much from this vacation, and then it turned out to be a nightmare." Last year, a similar situation oc­ curred with Take a Break Travel at UNC. A class action lawsuit was filed on behalf of the students and it was settled out of court, individually with the students. 'Take a Break Travel took advan­ tage of college students. Had we been adults out of college, I believe something would have been done to speed up the process," said Christy Barrick, a sopho­ more from Raleigh. Many students have talked with a private attorney to file a claim for ASU students. Barrick has filed a claim with the Attorney General and the Better Business Bureau. "We need to keep Take a Break Travel from taking advantage of other stu­ dents in the future." BLURS If music is your slice of cake, there's a few things for you to check out this week and weekend.

(file photo) old face comes home to Appalachian • Bob Hutton Reporter After a four year absence from lountaineer football, David Knauss has (turned to the Appalachian State coachi? staff. Replacing the departed Ruffin IcNeil as linebacker coach, Knauss has pent the last four years coaching at )uthern Methodist University in Dallas. Its been a drastic change in atlosphere for Knauss. Southern Methodtis a relatively small private school in a prawling metropolitan area, the virtual ttithesis of Appalachian's small-town IK university setting. However, Knauss iys that its a welcome change. . "There's so many familiar faces," e says, enthusiastically naming all of !t coaching staff he had worked with w years ago. "It's almost as though I ever left." Primary among these familiar faces is Head Coach Jerry Moore whom No doubt Knauss was also eager ger Knauss has known for 27 years. Besides to get away from the recent milieu of con­ his seasons with Moore at Appalachian troversy surrounding the Southern Meth­ from 1989 to 1993, Knauss also worked odist football program, due to the alleged with Moore at Texas Tech from 1981 to recruitment infractions of a few seasons 1983. ago. Knauss expresses no "I'm glad to have him strong feelings concerning his back," said Moore, "he's a good former school's record of NCAA football coach, a classy man, sanctions, but does say that and we're just pleased that he's SMU is "still struggling" with here." the problems of past years. Earlier this year Nevertheless, judging by Knauss had heard that there his general strategy for next was going to be a vacancy in season, the enthusiasm Knauss the ASU staff and got the call expresses for Appalachian's from Moore soon after. It current condition is genuine. wasn't just Coach Moore's per­ KnailSS According to him, the 1997 suasiveness that brought him back Mountaineer defense should be using the though. For Knauss, coming back to the "same basic defense" as it did in 1996, Mountaineers was an opportunity too despite the fact that the team had its worst tempting to pass up. record in three years in '96. "It was the opportunity to come According to Knauss, despite the back and work with a staff that's top relatively disappointing outcome of the notch," he said. "Right now, Appalachian 1996 season, Appalachian had a good is in the upper echelon of Division I-AA." defense that he says needs no drastic re­ arrangement. Knauss expects to retain ret the four man front backed with three line­ backers. Although Knauss plans on stick­ ing to the previously used formation, he does expect the Mountaineer linebackers will be practicing more of a zone based defense than before. "My comfort zone is more zone orientated than man orientated," he said, indicating a strategy that may prove more effective in the face of a running offense. Coach Moore is expecting good results from Knauss's conservative approach but adds that we will be seeing a lot more blitzing in the Mountaineer backfield. "He's not gonna change it (the defense) a lot," said Moore, "but we will have more of a pressure offense. I'm very confident about things." Until fall, however, creating the perfect Mountaineer backfield won't be the only endeavor Knauss will be engaged in. "I'm trying to find a place to live right now." ^alachian ends losing skid with 3-2 win over Ashevi'e Justin Griffin Assistant Sports Editor SeA e Appalachian baseball team slugging it out last weekend against Wofford. (Photo by Richard Thomas) Appalachian ended a nine-game losing streak Tuesday, defeating UNCAsheville 3-2 in Granite Falls. John Anderson's home run in the ninth inning with one out proved to be the difference as the Mountaineers improved to 11-25 on the season. The Mountaineers were able to pull the win out, despite three er­ rors. Anderson's sixth home run of the season broke a 2-2 tie and tarnished an impressive pitching performance by Asheville's Fred Resk. The senior right­ hander pitched the entire game, allow­ ing only one earned run. The win was credited to Andy Cheek, who earned it in relief. The freshman Cheek, who hails from West Jefferson, pitched five shutout innings and gave up a single. Getting the start for the Mountaineers was Chris Buttram. The Bulldogs took a quick 2-0 lead in the top of the first frame. Willie Stewart doubled to lead off the inning and scored on another double by Eddie Woods. Woods later scored on a passed ball. Appalachian tied the game in the bottom of the second on the strength of RBI singles by Chris Behne and Patrick Rhyne. Neither team could score again until Anderson's decisive blast. The Mountaineers will attempt to chalk up another win as they travel to Charleston take on The Citadel this week­ end in a doubleheader on Saturday and a single game on Sunday. The surround­ ings will be a warm-up for the Mountain­ eers, as Charleston is also the setting for the Southern Conference Tournament at the end ->f the season. Oh yes, springtime. When men's thoughts turn to romance, love, and professional sports. That's right ladies, just when you thought you were out of the woods with football, their back: athletes from another season. Spring - the roar of those NASCAR engines, the crack of the bat with the return of Major League Base­ ball, the excitement of the NBA's ap­ proaching playoffs - toss in the run for hockey's Stanley Cup and I better get a bigger TV Now I know there are those of you out there who just cannot get over the loss of college hoops and NFL, but there is hope. Think that nothing can replace the bone-shattering hits on the frozen tundra? Try the frozen pond! Hockey does after all have one thing that football does not; weapons! It is a common rnispei caption thar those sticks the players are carrying all over the ice are for knocking the puck around. No, no, no. Those sticks are for pounding the ever-loving $#@* out the opponents. So who should you watch to take the Stanley Cup? The answer is the Bangers. I know, I know, your look­ ing at this saying "Danny have you re­ ally gone as nuts as those other wt tei s at the Appalachian?" No, all I am saying is that the Rangers come from New York. The town where people can drive, cuss you out, and eat all at the same time. They should have no problem out skating, cussing, and shooting the other teams. What about that pastime of past times, baseball. There's nothing like the cheap seats (that's because there are no cheap seats), a hot dog, and a worn out glove on a sunny day. Baseball finally seems to be re­ gaining some of the lost respc it once held,.unless your name is Alomar (BOOOOOl). So who is my pick for the series this year? It will come down to the birds and the fisherman as the Ori­ oles edge out the Mariners. Why the Orioles? Cal Ripken! Okay, sb maybe Ipo iaSlize the man* but ii"; true, 'lie < ,y • a bill and )The odd game:, thon,d : rices to gh i the other teams a chance by chang .ig positions. He comes out ana in five games knocks three homers. Give the man some respect. And it is not as if the rest of the Orioles are chopped liver. Before the Baltimore loss, Brady Anderson led the American league in batting percentage with a .556 average while Ripken came in fourth batting .476. The pitching staff for the Ori oies has shown some good signs in the early season as Jimmy Key holds a 2.25 ERA and Beritez holds a respectable 2.45. As for the NBA playoffs, I'll make this short and sweet. DA Bulls. With a chance to bring home another 70-win year by winning seven of their remaining eight games there is still no team out there that can consistently do it against the man. M.J. (Sorry Heat, close but no cigar.) Finally, NASCAR! The early season has not been very kind to the man in black. Dale Earnhardt has found himself in crashes, or near the back of the pack more this year than I care to admit, yet I am a huge Dale fan. Jeff Gordon has likewise .run into some bad luck, finding himself be­ hind the Texas Motor Speedway's pit wall this past Sunday. The Iceman, Terry Labonte, has played the part of Mr. Con-3 sistency and finds himsek second in the points. The man who everyone has been chasing is Dale Jarrett. His blue and red T-bird has found itself in the top five or victory lane more times than not here at the first of the season and he holds a 95-point lead going into Bristol this weekend. see Spring page 101 �Page 10 The Appalachian 10 Ap,;i l99? — Are you interested in Sports? be A If so you might want to consider a part-time job in the sports journalism field writing for The Appalachian.

Other matches included a tightly contested loss for Sabrina Justin Griffin Assistant Sports Editor The Appalachian State women's tennis team dropped Jones, who lost 6-4, 6-4, 5-7. The match was never really close for the Mountaineers as Radford won all of the single matches but one and all of the doubles matches.

Dale has shown steady improvement over the past few weeks as the team be­ gins to settle in with the crew chief change.

Ben D. Quinn of Atlantic Beach and Glenn W. Wilcox Sr. of Asheville are new members, and John A. Alison IV and former U.S. Sen. James T. Broyhill, both of Winston-Salem, were reappointed. All will serve four-year terms, beginning with the trustees' September meeting. Quinn and Wilcox replace Rich­ ard T. Howerton III of Charlotte and C. Kenneth Wilcox of Boone who both served two terms, the maximum number al­ lowed. Quinn, who earned a bachelor's degree at Appalachian in 1955, retired as superintendent of the New Bern/Craven County Schools in 1989 after a career in 'education. He is a former professor of education at East Carolina University and educational consultant with the N.C. De­ partment of Public Instruction. He also worked with school systems in Onslow and Hyde counties. He is currently a partner in Carolina School Planning and Research in Raleigh. A native of Cherryville, Quinn earned a master's degree at East Carolina and an Ed.D. at Duke University. He is a member of the Yosef Club, Chancellor's Society and the Former Athletes Associa­ tion board at Appalachian. Wilcox, a prominent Asheville businessman, founded Wilcox Travel Agency in 1951 and Blue Ridge Printing Company in 1974. He is also chairman of the board of United Broadcasting Enter­ prises Inc. and Tower Associates Inc. He is a former member of the development Vanessa Urruela Chris Kinner Editor-in-Chief News Editor A margin of only 148 votes put Fernando Little and Jake Parker over the top as they narrowly won the Student Gov­ ernment Association election for president and vice-president for the 1997-98 aca­ demic year. Winning 12 of the 19 resi­ dence halls and the off-campus vote, Little and Parker pulled ahead of Mike Hagerty and Jewel Irish by receiving 1094 of the 2040 votes cast. Hagerty and Irish won seven resi­ dence halls including Gardner Hall where they received 116 votes to 30 for Little and Parker. Vice-president elect Parker said that he and Little plan to sit down and talk with the current administration a number of times to ensure a smooth tran­ sition. "Fernando and I plan to work with them extensively," Parker said. "We hope to get an idea of where they were at this point last year and where they are now and be able to pick up where they leave off." Little and Parker will officially take office May 1 when they are sworn in by the Chancellor at a transition banquet. "It's kind of hard to believe right now, we worked so hard at it and cam­ paigning was so intense it's hard to get my bearings," said Parker. Parker said he and Little are cur­ rently working on assembling their cabi­ net. "We are taking nominations and will make final decisions by May 1," he said. The election drew only 31 fewer voters than the run-off elections held March 19 and 20, with a total of 1811 oncampus and 229 off-campus votes cast. see Election page 2 Construction at ASU progressing entrance street, the redevelopment of the baseball field as a park, a major steam line extension under Rivers Street, the The sounds of steel crashing and ce­ reconstruction of Center Street, the clo­ ment pouring will be with us for a little sure of University Drive entrance from while longer as ASU plans for growth in Blowing Rock Road and the extensive installation of new walls and lighting the high country.

Chances are Itifyou're reading this then you either p a hippie or you know three or four eople who are. But before I even start (or before jjieone tries to tie me up with hemp upe) let me reiterate that the purpose /this series is to break down stereotypes. That's hard to do, though, without g fun of the stereotype first. So, shall I take a second to define y what I mean by the stereotype of pie"? OK. Here's the test.

If you answered lege kids subtly rebel­ ling against society and yet finding them­ selves all looking like each other? Or does the lifestyle reflect per­ sonal convictions? Melissa G. Bost, a freshman from Ra­ leigh, says that the ste­ reotype doesn't really bother her. In general, she feels like the hip­ pie lifestyle is some­ thing that reflects her beliefs and interests. "I wouldn't re­ ally call myself a hip­ pie but if someone were to stereotype me that's probably what I would be called". Bost says that she feels that the mod­ ern hippie movement has a spiritual side which she likes. She also adds that many hippies are concerned Hippies or just like us.? Tate Rawl, Lydia Cray and Serene Jorgenson enjoy the about the environment warm weather by lounging on Sanford Mall, (photo by Bethany Parrish) which she also values.

Modern hippies were, af­ You're just like everybody else! But, Bost says that she is not lazy or Are hippies just another group of col­ ter all, not always hippies. No matter how drugged out. She is, after all, working to complete a college degree and is planning to teach kindergarten. There are many things about the hip­ pie stereotype which Bost doesn't like. "Petchulli smells like dirt", she says. She is also quick to add that she does bathe regularly. "There something to be said for hygiene". Bost also says that she likes the Dead but they're not her favorite band. "I like Phish too but I've heard a lot of bad things about the following they've attracted now". "A lot of people say that "hippie is a state of mind" but that there are a lot of hippie hypocrites", Bost added. Bost says that she also can't stand the hippie jive. "People come up to me and say "hey man, that's some diggidy-dank, what's going on brotha'" and I'm just like shut up." In the end, it's pretty clear that it is pretty silly when certain judgments are made about people based upon their ex­ ternal appearance. Bost added, "People are so much more than their stereotype. You can be judged by what you look like or who you're with or where you are, but it's not really who you are." Just because someone likes different things doesn't make them lazy or a drug addict. This writer found Bost to be very well informed and articulate. If that's what a hippie is, I'll trade in my Doc's for Birkenstocks any day. A day in the life of a parking enforcer Jeff Sprouse Staff Writer The pale blue Parking Enforcement bzer pulls up behind a Volkswagen Jetta th a kayak strapped to the roof. Ri [ikamura, parking enforcer, checks the iicle's sticker, and immediately knows is got a freshman dead to rights. From a window high in the Coltrane tsidence hall come the usual chants. Traffic Nazi!", "Get a real job!" the face­ ts hecklers shout. Nakamura calls for a tow truck, le he waits for it to arrive, the vehicle's ler emerges from the building. His id is down and he keeps saying, "Dude, ide, I'm just picking up some of my friends." Nakamura just shakes his head. "Well you should have gotten a loading permit from the traffic office," he says, while try­ ing to call off the tow truck. But it is too late. The tow truck has been dispatched. In .a way though, the freshman is lucky. While he still has to pay the $20 summons, he'll save $20 on the tow by "settling" the matter with the driver. "I don't like to find freshmen, it's a lot of bucks. I put four kids through school and know how it is. But he is depriving someone who paid good money for that spot from getting it," says Ri. Prior to ticketing the freshman, Ri had to ticket another student who had parked behind Coltrane, right in front of a "no parking" sign. The student came Market boy to the rescue it now?

The name does evoke a cersee Market page 6 ^ superhero-like flavor. Can't you hear running out (It's funny how the appear­ ance of a traffic vehicle can bring so many people to their cars). At first, the student took the ticket without argument. But as Ri pulled away, the student could not resist the human urge to transfer blame. "I would have parked out front but it's full. Maybe if you did your job and got rid of some of them I would not have parked illegally." But its all in a day's work for Ri Nakamura. Only on the force since Octo­ ber, he's heard all of the excuses and knows all of the tricks. Like leaving the hazards on. "All that means to me is that I should check for an emergency. That's like leaving a sign on your car that says give me a ticket." Or the ever popular backing in a spot to hide the fact you have no permit. "Do that and be sure we'll check it out." Other tricks Ri is wise to include the note left on the car saying "batteries dead" or "keys locked in door." "We can offer assistance in these situations. Often times if you sit and wait, sure enough someone will come along and start the car right up." Contrary to popular opinion, Ri is not an ogre. Far from it. Tall and lanky, a gentle voice and disposition, he does not fit the stereotype of the fat, dumb traffic cop who could not get on the real police force. Nor is he mean and vindictive. He does not take pleasure at the misfortune of others. "I try to treat everyone with respect and I expect them to do the same. After all, it's just a job."

When finances became a little tight, Ri took the job as a parking officer to supplement his income. While there was over $400,000 col­ lected in fines last year, the university cur­ rently only has five "temporary" parking officers and three student officers. Tem­ porary is in quotations because although these people work 40 hours a week, they do not receive benefits nor any sense of job security. They are severely understaffed, ac­ cording to Ri. But this does not mean your chances of getting a ticket are less, because they cover a lot of ground. So take the bus, park where you're supposed to, or steal official state license plates because they can park wherever they want with­ out recourse. One man shares his story Wallace and students. (B.Parrish) and the rest of the ASU Post Office staff work all summer long, though he hardly seemed to mind. "The same operation goes on, you just see us a lot less," Wallace concluded with a smile. Cult suicide helps spread comet fever Jeff Sprouse Reporter The sharks smell blood and they are in a feeding frenzy, myself included. The 39 Heaven's Gate members who commit­ ted suicide are the prey. Any news pro­ gram, newspaper or magazine promises full coverage of the tragic event. Journalists are searching in every cor­ ner for dirt, no matter how relevant. Like the headline of Monday's Watauga Demo­ crat, "Cult Leader Lived in Boone." It seems that Herff Applewhite was the musical director at Horn in the West in 1963, long before he joined the cult. Just think, you may have eaten at the same restaurant, sat in the same movie theater seat or urinated in the same uri­ nal as the now dead cult leader. It chills the bones to think you may be connected in some strange way. But he was not weird back then, nor was he in the limelight. To get noticed he and his followers had to kill themselves. But first they had their beliefs. Formed in the early 70's, the cult believed that a spaceship would take them out of this realm to the "True Kingdom of God." They spent their time preparing for this exodus, wearing baggy clothes to de-em­ phasize gender, and surfing the web. After a failed reunion with a UFO in the late 1980's, the cult bided their time. Then came the appearance of Hale-Bopp, and the rumors of a UFO hiding behind it. "Hale-Bopp's approach is the 'marker' we've been waiting for," the cult stated on their web site. So they took their exit from this world. Strangely, it coincided with the Christian see Comet page 6 �Page 6 The look at Yeat's poetry and his crazy notion about the circular nature of doesn't it? time.

In 1910, when Halley's comet came towards " earth, astronomers detected poi­ sonous cyanide gas in its icy tail. People, thinking the world was coming to an end, started kill­ ing themselves.

And although all the poor Caroafans around here may not be able to kit it, Monday's championship game probably the best one in this decade. Think about it, some day ma's championship run will be looked kk on the same way as Villanova's or C. State's is today. Arizona became the st fourth seed ever to win the tourney the first team ever to knock off three lmber one seeds as well. All this while having finished a meager fifth in the underrated Pac-10 con­ ference and having a young team who did not really gel until the tournament. As for the game itself, I think it featured two of the most evenly matched teams in all of college basketball, which is why it was such an exciting contest to watch for any basketball fan. Watching Miles Simon and Mike Bibby of Arizona glide down the court like gazelles and pin­ point the weaknesses in the Kentucky zone was truly amazing. I don't know if there has ever been a guard tandem with as much speed and finesse as those two. As for Kentucky, the play of big man Nazr Mohammed was what caught my eye the most. Just a JV player a year ago, Mohammed has become in one sea­ son probably the most valuable sixth man in the country. It was truly exhilarating to watch these two teams battle each other with the momentum swinging back and forth with every lead change and the intensity rising with every passing second as the end drew near. I would say that the se­ quence which occurred in the last 30 sec­ onds of regulation, in which Anthony Epps was able to knock down the three-pointer and send the game into overtime, will probably be the most memorable highlight Remaining Spring Sports Schedules Baseball Apr. 5 Apr. 6 Apr. 8 Apr. 9 Apr. 12 Apr. 13 Apr. 15 Apr. 16 Apr. 19 Apr. 20 Apr. 24 Apr. 25 Apr. 26 Apr. 27 %WOFFORD %N.C.

But under the one game system round one-and-done like the tourney and "The best thing about Arizona winning it all is that it shows why college - not professional - basketball is the best game on hardwood." that we have now, Arizona, not Kansas, won it all. As it is, the NBA playoffs lag way behind their college counterparts not just because they play more games but because they just aren't as exciting as the Big Dance. Coupled with the fact that the NBA is more about individual stars and less about team play and good coaching, its product will always be inferior to that seen on the college courts of America. I think Big East Commissioner Dave Gavitt summed up the difference between college and NBA basketball when he said 'The college game is about the name on the front of the jersey. The NBA is about the name on the back of the jer­ sey." As for Arizona, its good that the Wildcats became the first upset champ of the nineties. After all, State, 'Nova and Kansas were able to pull off Cinderella championships in the eighties, so its about time that there was a dark horse champ in this decade. In fact the only thing bad that I can say about the grand finale of this year's edition of March Madness is that I have to wait eight months for the next college game. Spring sports are fun too!

Darin Glass Staff Writer The new academic support building, John E. Thomas Hall, was for­ mally dedicated in a formal ceremony Friday. Friends, family, faculty and stu­ dents were on hand to pay tribute to the man who served as Appalachian's fourth chancellor. Thomas was named chancel­ lor in 1979 and retired in 1993. Provost and Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs Harvey Durham said, "One of his main interests was his divine and genuine interest in the welfare of Appalachian students." Thomas paved the way for tele­ communications on campus by providing the students with campus-wide cable tele­ vision and a satellite uplink, which joined the campus with the western North Caro­ lina region and the world. "Students will come to Thomas Hall not only for instructional purposes, but to be counseled by our admissions and financial aid officers, register for classes, manage their student accounts and secure housing," said Associate Vice Chancellor for Enrollment Services Joe Watts about the function of Thomas Hall. Construction started on the $9 million facility in April, 1995 and opened last fall. The building stands where fac­ ulty houses once stood and where the Thomas family once lived.

Through the new Summer Read­ ings Program that will be instated during Phase I Orientation, freshmen will have the opportunity to read a book and dis­ cuss it with faculty members upon arriv­ ing in August for Phase II Orientation. The Summer Readings Program will not only add something academic to Phase II Orientation, but it will also intro­ duce students to college-level discussions, said Jimmy Smith, Mathematical Sciences Department chairperson and supporter of the program. "We (want) to provide some sort of common intellectual experience for stu­ dents as they come into the university," Smith said. "(Appalachian) needs to be an academic community, not just a commu­ nity of football-goers." Smith collaborated on the Sum­ mer Readings Program with Nancy Spann, director of General Studies. Smith and Spann presented their plan to several people and organizations on campus to receive feedback and seek support. Once this support was found, a 20-member committee was appointed to work on the program, Smith said. Students will be given a book at Phase I Orientation and will be asked to participate in the program by reading the book before they return in August. The books will be paid for through Orienta­ tion fees that are assessed to every incom­ ing freshman, Spann said. The book chosen for the inaugu­ ral Summer Readings Program is "In The Time of the Butterflies" by Julia Alvarez. Published in 1994, the book revolves around "themes of power and oppression, and standing up for one's beliefs no mat­ ter the sacrifice," Spann said. This work will hopefully stretch the intellectual abilities of incoming fresh­ men and offer them a global perspective, Spann said. The book was chosen by the Sum­ mer Readings Committee which is also in the process of recruiting faculty members to serve as discussion facilitators at Phase II Orientation. Spann said approximately 110 faculty members will be needed. In addition to discussions facili­ tated at Phase II Orientation, freshmanlevel English classes and Freshman Semi­ nar classes could integrate the themes dis­ cussed in the book, Spann said. In addition, both Smith and Spann hope the Summer Readings Pro­ gram will impact Convocation in the Fall. There is a possibility that Julia Alvarez, author of the book, may serve as Convo­ cation speaker, Spann said. However, there are some negative opinions about the Summer Readings Pro­ gram.

This program is designed to "prosome sort of common intellectual experience for >nts as they come into the university," according to iponent. A single book is going to provide this expe•> And what is the need for such intellectual comlity anyway? Isn't this university supposed to be rting diversity, diversity of background, opinion, toil thought? This new reading program is also supposed to jdan academic aspect to the summer orientation ses1 (nSj as though entrance and placement exams were > ^enough. Incoming students do not need to concen0ie 0n college-level academic work the first time that levset foot on campus. It seems the university should i ereceptive to enhancing incoming students' social dedopment rather than academic development, for they I g have four (or five or six) years to achieve in the I fldemic realm. There is a great difference between poial interactions in college and those in high school, trhaps a program that addressed these areas would be ,orc beneficial than the Summer Readings Program. There is also likely to be some debate over which , ook is chosen for incoming freshmen to read. Currently, tot title is selected by the Summer Readings Committ. Certainly, limiting summer reading to one book is jnyerous. This book may not appeal to some students, , [it may be offensive. The committee should compile a tading list, providing at least nine alternatives to the kosen book. The program is also supposed to encourage pllege-level academic discussion among incoming stu­ nts. Once again, students have a great deal of time to irn how to speak their minds in an academic setting " iring their tenure here. Let them take that time. One proponent stated that there is a need for "" ppalachian to become an academic community, notjust |community of football-goers." Look all around—ASU shi lalready an academic community. Students regularly iieract with professors and other students in an acatmic manner. How busy is Belk Library? Are the stulu ents slaving in there not focused on academics? Also, I' jtalattendance at football games this year dropped. The orchestrators of this program must also ® alize that many of these incoming students will simply " loose not to read the text. It is their last summer be­ ne they make the jump to college, and many of them ill have priorities to attend to other than reading a 1 ook, such as a summer job or time spent with friends rfore they all go away. The faculty assigned to lead scussion of the book during Phase II Orientation may id that the discussion is nonexistent. What happens len? Class dismissed? Another main problem with the Summer Readigs Program is that students will receive no academic redit for the work they do in the summer. What incenive does this offer incoming students to complete that ork? None at all. If a book is going to be required, and scussions of that book made mandatory, students should I least receive some sort of credit for their labor; for tgument's sake, we'll say five per cent of their English 100 grade. An opponent of the new program stated that it similar to asking a mental patient to "start improving 'fore coming to therapy." We at The Appalachian find irselves in agreement with this assertion. Time and loney would definitely be better spent improving the nlity of incoming students' education while they are ffe at ASU, not before classes begin.

At the time, the president was staying at Australian golfer Greg Norman's Florida home. Did Clinton just "fall," as was told to the media? Or was he pushed? Drunk? Being chased by Hillary? Perhaps it was a subversive plot by the Australian government to disable the Golfer-in-Chief. All of these could quite possibly be true, but we don't have the answer.

Kaye Cranford, SGA President "He really injured his knee because he had a few shots of bourbon and he was going out to get a supersize fry from McDonalds and he fell." In the past, I've picked up a lot of criticism for some of the things I've written in this column. Some people have said I am inflammatory, arrogant, abra­ sive and overly pessimistic. They've even said things about me that weren't true. Despite it all, I've managed to come through with a healthy self-esteem. In other words, when I cry myself to sleep or throw furniture, it has nothing to do with my readers. That's not to say that criticism never affects me. Any published writer who tells you it doesn't is lying through their teeth. Often, in the midst of one of the spasmodic laughing fits that seize me when 1 read letters to the editor about my columns, a point made by one of my readers will really hit home. Well, maybe not often, but sometimes. Well, actu­ ally, a couple of times. Well, okay, once. That one instance was the letter from last se­ mester that accused me of being too negative. The writer (who shall remain nameless because I can't remember his name) said that, instead of always being critical of everything, I should take the time to praise things now and then. I take it that this guy must really like our features section. What do you expect though? Off the top of my head I can't remember the last time I saw an opinion column by any of our writers that was in praise of any individual, organization, or idea on this campus. It's just not done. When you've got something good, you shut up and keep it to yourself. Otherwise, somebody else wants it. But when you've got something bad, you complain about it. That's just the way it works. The guy's letter made sense though, and he made me decide to change my ways. Starting with this column, I will have nothing but good things to say about everything and everybody at ASU. This is go­ ing to be difficult so please bear with me: • I'd like to give a big thumbs up to the rest of the staff at the Appalachian. They dress real nice. • Hats off to the guys at the Student Union pool hall. The pool balls are very round and roll very well (give me some time, I'm just getting the hang of this compliment thing...). • Here's to all the dogs on campus for keeping Sanford Mall well fertilized. • Speaking of dogs, I'd like to thank the American Kennel Club for promoting inbreeding. This insures that nice, docile, mentally deficient dogs will stay en vogue and we'll never have to worry about dogs tak­ ing over the world. Keep sending those evil mon­ grels to the pound. • Thanks to the Administration for promoting cam­ pus diversity. Did you know that our campus has more than half-a-dozen different species of trees? And that's without quotas too. • Kudos to the architect who designed our new com­ bination smokestack/bell tower. Now there's an idea I never would have thought of. • May I express my appreciation to the Child Devel­ opment Center for keeping those kids behind a fence. They scare me. • Mazeltov (I'm Mr. Multicultural) to the Sigma Nu house for not being attacked by hoodlums this se­ mester. Not yet anyway. • Accolades to the Guerrilla Girls for appearing on tv and giving this university the publicity it deserves. Now all we need is a skinhead pancake breakfast. • Thanks to my editor for talking me out of doing an entire column in ebonies. • Thanks to what's-his-name that wrote in a few weeks ago for adding the phrase "freaky white girl" to the campus vernacular (by the way, I'm down for whatever). • Much appreciation is due to the Food Court for throwing a little Romaine lettuce in the salad bar every now and then. I love Romaine lettuce. Its so green. • A big salute to the Tradewinds coffeehouse which is much nicer than I expected. I thought that it would blow (Get it? Tradewinds? Blow?). • Thanks to the Young Republicans for never reveal­ ing themselves to me, • the College Democrats for never trying to recruit me, • and to NOW for never trying to lynch me. And finally... • Thanks to everyone on this campus who's a ninny. You've made great subject matter. Whew. That was tough. I hope everyone now understands why I never do this. Who am I kidding, this was a bad idea in the first place. I tell you what, since I'm so bad at this, why don't I just stop right here and go back to being my old self with my next column? Thanks.

I am appalled that a portion of my student fees pay for, in part, the writing and publishing of such journalistic gar­ bage. As an observer to the debate, I found that questions asked by the debate panel (i.e. The Appala­ chian) were merely softballs. Ms. Cagle objects to students question­ ing candidates in depth about ex­ perience and budgetary require­ ments of platform issues. Could this be because these issues could have a negative effect on the can­ didates that The Appalachian sup­ ports? Furthermore, Ms. Cagle, do you really believe that the majority of the students present at the debate where there to become informed voters? All of the students present were supporters of one of the tick­ ets. To believe otherwise is "pomp­ ous", "arrogant", and ignorant. MS. —' .a"u ignorant.

Many people seem to confuse the Opinion section with the News section. The Opinion section is a< forum for people's individual thoughts, feelings and ideas. The News section is the place we re­ port facts. When people have called, written to me, and showed up in our offices I've tried to explain to them that Renee didn't do any­ thing wrong when she wrote her editorial. She took a topical, per­ tinent event and wrote about her reaction to it. She was harsh, but honest about her feelings. Students who put themselves up for discussion and criticism, as Lave the SGA candidates, should expect to be criticized publicly. That's part of the whole political process. If candidates can't take a little criticism, perhaps they aren't fit for office in the first place.

Such a piece would probably bore cu silly since it would be so unbearably Jjg. Let's cut to the chase, shall we: how iere they, what do they sound like, are jey worth seeing? To answer those questions briefly, •great", "too many sounds to summarize" ud (emphatically) "yes!!". Let's get to item individually. Wherever It Goes started the festival iff in good fashion. For a band that I had lever heard of, much less seen live, I was jandily impressed. After talking to the land, and finding out that it was an "off" light for them, I would be very eager to ice them when they were "on". Their sound literally is wherever it Des. Anything goes. They've really got jmething for everyone. Progressive, endrix-esque runs, psychedelia, jams nd straight-ahead rock can hit you all at nice from these guys. Tossed in between reat originals were blistering covers of antana and Pink Floyd tunes. There irere a few moments when the jams could idii know have been a little shorter, but on the whole a very good performance. Garden of Sirens rounded off Friday evening with a bit of an uneven set. There is no question that when they rocked, they rocked. But when they chilled, they were a little too mellow. Maybe it was the melo­ drama. Or the dancer. They were unquestionably very tight. I m not implying at all that they sucked, but I think this might have been a bit of an off night for them. I'm interested in seeing their goth-flavored rock again. It did seem very good. But then again, maybe I was paying more attention at the few moments they lulled. They are very much worth seeing, if you get the oppor­ tunity. For me the most pleasant surprise of the two night show was the Feminazis. It's been a long time since I've heard a band effectively blend humor and politics in such an enjoyable fashion. Their music interestingly bounced between slow punk to folky type rock to pseudo-camp. I could tell that they were either new or hadn't practiced in a few days. They weren't that rusty. They were, in fact, almost smooth. On the subject of smooth, I was par­ ticularly blown away by a song with a re­ frain that went something like "Hairy legged, man hating lesbians, lesbians." The melody and the words were topnotch, in my opinion. These ladies' voices were perhaps the most beautiful voices I've heard in a long, long time. They're women, they're proud and...oh, you bet­ ter believe they're strong. No surprises from Pink Collar Jobs: Great as usual. In fact, I would venture to say that they stole the show. They were tight as hell, with propulsive guitars and bass and frenzied drumming standing out. Wait a minute, that's the whole band. I guess that's my point. Their almost fast-as-light punk/hard core was as entrancing as it was danceable. Let's not forget the punked up version of Poison's "Talk Dirty To Me" (come on, you all had a copy). I had seen them once before and was semi-impressed, but without a doubt became a fan Saturday night. I wish I was wearing bobby-socks, because they would have blown me out of 'em. Don't miss any opportunity to see them. It'll be worth the few bucks. I promise. Agent Ink ended the festival after their "triumphant tour of Charlotte", according to guitarist/vocalist Rob Gaddy. Gaddy said a bucket full of memorable one-liners during the course of the band's set, due in part to chronic bass amp problems. One would think that this would dampen the band's show. One would be wrong. Though they couldn't deliver the goods quite as well as they're capable of, they made their way around the problems with commendable professionalism, even killing time with a nod to Pink Collar Jobs by doing Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", briefly. I can't in good conscience give them the rating I think they deserve, because of the amp problems and, might I add, the poor mixing of the sound at the board, One more note about this performance. I had a person with me who had never seen these guys before. She was thoroughly blown away, For this ability to persevere in the face of bad odds and still be able to pull of such a feat, they rocked. I must give my personal kudos to APPS for pulling this off. It was great to see so much local talent in the span of two nights, just a short walk from my dorm. Way to go guys!

And I'm not talking about the smut id filth of Blonde, Hard bodies or Bigteasted Babes. No, this is something far ore unbelievable than a woman with EE breasts riding a donkey. What I'm talking about is a plot by a liadow government to unite the globe in New World Order and the various mili1 organizations that have formed to fight f If you, like me, take everything you read and hear literally, then I will relate to you what my editor told me. "Any nut with a computer can have a web site. I don't know how believable some of this stuff is, Jeff." Yeah, well where will he be when Satan's dark forces conquer the world? For those wondering what the New World Order is, here is a definition from WWW.GEOCITIES.COM: "The NWO is a system in which the independence of in­ dividual nations will be subject to the limi­ tations set forth by a world government." The document goes on to say that the roots of this world government can be seen in the United Nations. Under their direc­ tion, national militaries will be disbanded in favor of a common military force. The document also says that NWO will be instituted by a shadow government that already exists and has already set into motion its grand scheme. These organi­ zations are the Bilderburgs, the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission. Poor were the details on the groups. So I went to WWW.LD.CENTURYINTER.COM. And "Any nut with a com­ puter can have a web site. I don't know how believable some of this stuff is, Jeff." woah, was I stunned. All these groups are made up of Elites. They meet in secret and do not allow nonmembers to attend. At a meeting, they form foreign policy, regulate international trade, fix world prices and generally scheme to take away our freedom. Then they "advise" world government on their opinions. Included on the web site were some of the members of these groups, some of which are very well known. I will not jeop­ ardize my life by putting them in print here. Their histories are also too sordid and vast to publish here, so go to WWW.IMPROPAGANDA.COM for all the twisted details. Sounds pretty bleak, eh? Well not to worry because here in the good old USA there is a rising tide of patriotism, known as militias, organizing to fight the fascist internationalists. And they're on the web. Go to WWW.NETPAT.NET, and enter the North Carolina Citizen's Militia web page. Here you can enjoy the constitu­ tional basis for forming a militia, info on how to join and links to such pages as Jews for the Preservation of Firearms.

Cap­ tioned, "The A-Team - Prowlin' and Growlin," at the bottom it says, "Bad boys, bad boys, watcha gonna do, watcha gonna do when you come for us!"

Some of the sites are only advertisements for magazine sub­ scriptions where you can find the real truth. Others get bogged down in religious and racial. .. Hold on a second, someone's at the door.

' new life and hope. any people ask how the egg got ved. vVell, for ancient people, the egg symbolized new life. When the shell was broken, new life emerged. The egg-rolling contest is sull a very old and popular game. Children roll hardboiled eggs down a hill and when they hit each other, usually, they break. The win­ ner is the child with the last egg to break. Dolley Madison, the wife of the fourth President of the United States, James Madison, started the most famous eggrolling Contest on the lawn of the White House in the early 1800s. As to where the concept of the Easter bunny originated, no one really knows. All that is recorded, is that the rabbit is the symbol for the abundance of new life. According to the Bible, Jesus died on the cross on Friday, and on Sunday morn­ ing, when people came to his grave, it was empty. An angel came before them and said, "Why seek you the living among rhe dead? He is not here but is risen." There­ fore, new life began. As for what people eat for Easier, many people eat ham. Many countries consider the pig to be a sign of good luck; hence the term, "piggy bank.'\jf Another little bit of information is, in earlier times, when a young man would send a pair of gloves to his sweetheart, this was considered to be a proposal of marriage. If she were to accept the pro­ posal of marriage, she would wear the gloves on Easter morning. There are certainly many different meaningsto different people for Easter. "When I think of Easter, I think of being together with my family at the beach. I also think of church and things being beautiful outside," said Brooks Gurley, a senior from High Point. "To me, Easter is a time to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. I usu­ ally spend Easter with my family at church," said Steve Norton, a sophomore from Charlottej "Easter is an important holiday that I really enjoy because it is a time when my whole family is together. It also reminds me of the beginning of spring when the weather finally turns warmer and the flowers are blooming," said Stacie Diehl, a graduate student from Durham. No matter how people celebrate Easter, it is the beginning of spring when ev­ eryone comes out of hiding from the cold weather and welcomes the sunshine. For all students, it's a time of celebration with the end of the semester being just around the corner. Concert Review • •••• Seven is a good number and in this case, as most would call it anyway, it's the perfect number. Seven musically diverse individuals convened at Legends last Thursday night to throw a party, as they probably would have called it, in front of a packed house of dancing, wannabe flappers. Squirrel Nut Zippers is a band that is fairly new on the scene, and although they have two CDs and a third on the way, they have just recently made it to the big time. Their single "Hell," from the appro­ priately titled CD Hot, has even made it to MTV Let's just hope the I'm-too-hipfor-you "alternative" music network doesn't take this talented group of musi­ cians and run them into the ground. The Zippers put on a show at Appa­ lachian last semester that had everyone drooling for seconds, including all those who simply heard about it. They came on stage about 10:20 p.m. clad in their unique 20s/90s attire to a roar of applause and cheers. Their hu­ morous stage manner immediately set the tone for the rest of the night. They broke into song, and dancing pursued. The Zippers combine a multitude of sounds with instruments ranging from horns and saxophones to guitars, resona­ tors and chandeliers (and yes, even a uku­ lele), providing the listener with a jazzy funky swing sound. The diversity in musicianship which makes up the band members themselves is astounding. Players switch back and forth among varied instruments to com­ pensate for the particular sound they are creating. During the show Tom Maxwell alters nated primarily between a rhythm guitar and a trombone, Jim Mathus alternated between guitar and alto sax while Katharine Whalen alternated between banjo and her Betty Boop/Ella Fitzgerald vocals. They share the spotlight and to­ gether produce an electrifyingly vibrant sound. They opened with several songs froip their latest CD which is yet to be released. They played some old songs and also sat­ isfied the crowd with tunes from Hot. They played for about an hour and a half and then left the stage, only to return in encore style fashion to play for another half hour. Aside from the superb musical qual- Zippers see page 6 �The APPalachian2 The Squirrel Nut Zippers go to ity, they spiced up their perfor­ mance with personas of utter joy, a crazy fun if you will, feeding off the frenzied crowd. They left them red-faced and sweating, with grins of satisfaction upon their counte­ nances. Those of you who participated in the bonanza can be amused that you saw such a vibrant band on the up and up in such an intimate setting.

I've been to shows where the line crawls and by the time you get in, the open­ ing act has already done five or six songs. Once inside, I noticed how orderly the handling of alcohol is. People bring their own stuff and check it with students who work behind a counter. During the show there were APPS staff members going around to collect bottles from tables and the floor. This wasn't a necessary effort, just a nice thing to do on the part of that staff. The sound was awesome, lights were just right, and ashtrays were emptied regularly.

The Mountaineers made things close in the end, scoring seven runs in the last two innings, but were never able to finish the deal. The losing pitcher for the Mountaineers was starter Andy Cheek. Leading the way offensively for the Mountaineers was Shane Sigmon with three hits and two RBI's. Skip Travers and Cheek both drove in a pair of runs. The heavy rain caused the Mountaineers' bout with Virginia Tech to be dropped at the last minute. No information has been announced concerning the make-up game at this time. However, the Mountaineers will get their shot at the Hokies tonight at G.R Deal Stadium in Granite Falls.

Keith Helms and Jay Adams of hitless relief to pick up his fourth save more runs and put the nail in the coffin Justin Griffin Assistant Sports Editor Justin Griffin Assistant Sports Editor Mike Waddell, assistant sports director at Charlottesville Broadcasting Corporation out of Virginia, has been named director of external operations at Appalachian State University. The appointment was announced on March 19 by Appalachian State Athletic Director Roachel Laney. Waddell will fill the vacancy left by Brian Estrige's departure at the end of 1996 for the University of Miami, Ohio. These duties will include the play-by-play announcing for the Appalachian Sports Network broadcasts of football and basketball games. "We are very pleased to have Mike join our department," said Laney. "He brings excitement, and dynamic energies to the external operations position." The Newton native has been the women's basketball, men's soccer and baseball play-by-play voice for the University of Virginia for the past three seasons. In addition to Waddell's sales and marketing duties, he also served as a sideline reporter at Virginia football games. While he was in Charlottesville, Waddell was also the host of the UVA women's basketball television show. Before his stint at Virginia, Waddell spent three years with the Tar Heel Sports Network in Chapel Hill as production coordinator. During that time, he also founded Group "W" Productions which produced a 27-affiliate radio network for the North Carolina High School Athletic Association football -and basketball championships. Waddell also handled play-by­ play for University of North Carolina women's basketball, while serving as assistant sports director at WCHL Radio in Chapel Hill. Waddell's past experience extends beyond the scope of college athletics into the world of professional sports. From 1990-91 Waddell was the Media Relations director for the Greensboro Monarchs Hockey Team. The 1991 graduate of Guilford College in Greensboro begins his new job at Appalachian April 2. CBS: Coverage of Basketball Stinks I have been very frustrated with CBS's coverage of the NCAA Tournament. The first night or two of the tournament, I was not that upset. I just assumed that since my television was acting up, that it was that and not the network. After the fine people from residence life came over and fixed the cable hook-up and improved my reception, I came to the conclusion that it has been so long since this network (CBS) has had a major sporting event of any kind, they have forgotten how to cover one. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? The problem is everything. From the game selection to the announcers for the games. This network does a terrible job. I would much rather see ABC, ESPN or Fox do the job. For me the problem became crystal clear with the coverage of the Tennessee Chattanooga-Illinois game in the second round of the tournament. Understandably so, the UNC-CharlotteUtah game was covered instead of the Chattanooga game. But there was one twist; the Utah-Charlotte game began 15 minutes earlier than the Chattanooga contest. After the Charlotte game was over, which was, by the way, a twentypoint blowout, CBS switched the audience to the last two and half minutes of the Chattanooga game. After the audience had seen enough of the Chattanooga game to get interested, CBS switched us and what I imagined to be at least a couple of thousand angry fans away from the games. For what? The first couple minutes of the Wake Forest game, and Justin Griffin Assistant Sports Editor sports commentary Billy Packer's pregame mumbo-jumbo about his alma mater. A number 14 seed was beating a number six seed and about to earn a spot in the sweet 16. Indeed it was a rarity. But in CBS's opinion, not rare enough to cover. So there I was throwing stuff at the screen, screaming obscenities at Billy Packer, everyone's favorite antiperspirant-roll-on-sports announcer. I really wish this blubbering sycophant would find employment in a field other than announcing basketball games. It is not really hard to figure this guy out. He loves the team that is winning. He roots for whoever is in front. It was rather interesting listening to him during Stanford's victory over Wake Forest, which kept his Demon Duncans out of the sweet 16. For some reason whenever Wake Forest is playing a game on CBS, ABC, Raycom, or whatever network, there is a written rule that Packer must do color commentary for the game. Packer is always right. For me one of the more entertaining aspects of watching a game that Packer does is listening to him contradict himself over and over again. The man goes back on everything he says at least eight or nine times a game. Maybe he should look into politics. And what about George Ravelling? This guy should have never picked up a microphone. I am sure the man is a decent coach and maybe, just maybe, he should consider getting back into the coach's box. He belongs on the floor, not in the broadcast booth. Raveling's voice is this incomparable thing that makes me want to turn the sound down and watch the game in dead silence. His delivery isn't much better; he gets too choked up and his delivery is lacking most of the time. The rest of the commentators doing games for CBS are a bunch of nobodies that I haven't seen too much so I don't really have that much of an opinion on them. During an NCAA tournament game Packer decided to get in a sparring match with Utah Coach Rick Majerus. The conversation started about asking where Rick was during one of the games and ended up with Majerus saying: "I had to get my own damn caterer, the food that CBS puts out sucks." When coaches are trashing the food bar for a network, there is definitely a problem. If a multi-million dollar network can't get the food part of the tournament right for the coaches and press, well then the question is simple. How can they cater to the basketball appetites of millions of fans?

They fielded questions from students and a panel con­ sisting of representatives from the Appa­ lachian and WASU. The candidates were Cliff Fitte and Michelle Lawrence, Mike Hagerty and Jewel Irish, and Fernando Little and Jake Parker. The panelists were Renee Cagle, Ryan Price, Beth Bliss and Kelly Reynolds. The questions ranged from safety concerns, student voice, experience and leadership. The candidates tried to answer the questions in the hour and half session. "We are really excited about our campaign this year and our agenda of re­ storing the student voice," said Little of their main goal for the students. Responding to a question of how will they work for the students, Lawrence replied, "We want to take the student gov­ ernment to the students." Lawrence talked about having senators going to club and committee meetings to be educated on what is hap­ pening on campus. They were concerned about educating the students because they feel that the student body is not informed enough about issues on campus. race or sexual orientation. It is about all of us work­ ing together toward one goal," said Lawerence of how diversity is important to all the candidates. "We want to give our senators more di­ verse training when they come into the position at the beginning of the year and as they go through the Outreach program," said Irish. In the area of commemorating veterans, Mike Hagerty said he wanted to see a plaque in honor of the veterans.

I told him that I wasn't sure what rules were about such advertising, but that I'd into it. Doing a little research, I found out that it is i jirimately my decision as to whether ads are api Lpriate for publication. The only exception to [is are alcohol-related ads which are already lim^ by the state government. So, here's what I've decided to do about this situation in light of all the circumstances. First, the company that placed the ads has paid £ in advance to run the ad for the entire semester. He don't have the extra money to give back to them a exchange for our pulling the ad. So, we can't stop the ads from running this semester. What I can do about the situation is write a •ecommendation for next year's editor and hope tliat he or she follows it. In year's past the staff has town up policies at the beginning of the year about ads and that's what I'm going to suggest to my suc­ cessor. The professor made a good argument when be said that such ads take away from the academic integrity of the paper as it encourages people to cheat. He was right. Buying term papers and turn­ ip, j them in as your own is not only ethically horrid, it's also against the law. Perjury is a serious crime. We aren't doing public service when we companies' money and enable students to 1 tut Another aspect that the professor's question jf brought to light was that students often times fall ire;' to scams. 1 My thinking about this is that if something sounds too good to be true (ie a $150 all expenses paid trip to Mexico), it probably is. The Appala­ chian can not be held accountable for the behavior of the companies advertising with us. Whenever possible we try to validate the claims made in ads, hut we can't do all the work for you. When responding to ads, don't ever give your credit card number out to someone you have a bad feeling about. Don't send money until you have a in writing and never assume that you'll get a refund if you aren't satisfied. Above all use your head. And, remember that even if next year's staff Joes decide not to run the ads, U. Magazine does we'll certainly still run that publication as an insert in ours. And, as Dino DiBernardi said about a bought paper that was faxed accidently to his office, "I don't blow why anyone would want to pay for a paper that bad anyway." He said there were so many spelling mistakes it was hardly readable. The Appalachian is published every Tuesday I Thursday of the academic year with the excep1 of selected holidays and breaks.

No, I am not talking about an election involving Jesse Helms. I am talking about the behavior of the SGA candidates, current SGA senators and the tickets' own campaign workers. Before I get into this opinion let's set the cast of characters in the farce. First, we have Mike Hagerty and Jewel Irish. Then there's Fernando Little and Jake Parker. Last but not least, Cliff Fitte and Michelle Lawrence. I served on the debate panel along with other members of the student media. After the panel fin­ ished, questions were taken from the audience. When I say this, it is supposed to mean students not con­ nected with either ticket or SGA has the chance to ask questions. It was a good idea but_it did not hap­ pen last night. Once the debate was turned over to the audi­ ence it became like a WWF event. The questions from the audience were planned and delivered as personal attacks on the ticket of Fernando Little and Jake Parker. The first question was asked by Student Affairs chair Jenny Ruggieri; she asked the Little/Parker ticket about the feasibility of their direct call button on blue light phones. Once the question was an­ swered, the girlfriend of Mike Hagerty ran up and asked Fitte what he had found out about the same subject. Once Fitte explained the cost of installing these buttons, it became obvious that it was all a set­ up on the part of Ruggieri and Mike's girlfriend. I must say I am personally disappointed in the behavior of both. It is pretty pathetic when a candi­ date has to get his girlfriend to do his dirty work. If you are going to play dirty, get a backbone and do it yourself. The next question came from an SGA senator and personal buddy of Hagertys. Not only was this guy pompous and arrogant but he asked a question that had already been addressed during the panel questions. He said experience had not been an issue addressed yet and he wanted each ticket to tell their experience in SGA in years. Hello? Vanessa Urruela Editor-in-Chief Cagle ing Editor rfe Kinner ps Editor ' Konstantaras ant News Editor Matt Russ Writing Coach Julia Huskins Production Manager John O'Brien Business Manager Price John Starling lotial Editor Features Editor Prny Ball tent Features Editor stin Griffin Slstent Sports Editor Mike Daniels Sports Editor Bethany Parrish Photography Editor Experience had already been drilled into the ground. The reason this was an obvious attack on two of the tickets is because Fitte, Lawrence and Parker have not been senators. But they are/or were cabinet members of SGA. This person knew this al­ ready but felt the need to bring it up again to make Hagerty and Irish look good. In my eyes it made them look petty and conceited. The question after that came from a very visible worker for the Hagerty/Irish ticket. I have seen her several times and have spoken with her about the ticket. She represents them. Her question was by far the worst because she got nasty with Little/Parker, and she also got personal. She asked Little/Parker how they could run for SGA without ever being sena­ tors because they would never understand what it is like to be in their shoes. First of all, this question had been addressed sev­ eral times. Secondly, how could she ask that ques­ tion since she herself is not in SGA. So what right does she have? Anyone can run for SGA. That's supposed to be the beauty of the organization. After this ambush of Hagerty/Irish acolytes au­ dience members from other camps tried to defend their tickets. It began ugly and ended that way as well. Because of these personal and vicious attacks the everyday student was denied the right to ask ques­ tions. Isn't that the entire point of the debate? Here's my problem: SGA already had all of the candidates to one of their meetings for questions. The SGA sena-; tors already had their chance to ask questions. They had their own debate. So why do they feel the need to ask questions before other students who are not affiliated with SGA? Isn't that the point of 'The Stu­ dent Voice" everyone keeps talking about? I also think students who are working with tick­ ets and have obviously made their voting decision need to be banned from asking questions. I know some people will consider this a violation of free speech but what else do they need to know? They have already made their decision. It seems that these people and some of the sena-J tors don't think students can ask good questions. J have one thing to say to them: Get over yourselves! You're not all that. Students know what they want to ask and what is important to them. Let students who are not necessarily involved in SGA or other stu­ dent groups ask their questions. The candidates vis­ ited a lot of student clubs and organizations and an­ swered questions from the members. At the debate there was a huge line of students trying to ask ques­ tions but were never given the chance because of all Debates continued on Page 6 Letters to the Editor Injustice of Justice Stop the hate To the Editor, To the Editor, A female in front of me was wearing a t-shirt I was totally outraged by the photo of the sign of Justice Hall with the word "in" written in with a message on the back. 1 did not know her, and front of Justice.

We need to leave well-enough you. I did not get the chance to see the front of the alone, and try to get back to normal. While, we are on the subject about the re­ shirt to see if it indicated to whom the message was cent events, I would like to leave two thoughts about directed, so I can only assume from context that it the recent events in Justice. 1 an very outraged about was at least partially directed at the world at large. 1 realize that to many people I would seem to the rapes, but yet some people have the philosophy be making a big deal out of a small thing. I am fairly of guilty into proven innocent, when it should be innocent into proven guilty. My last thought on this selective about the messages I choose to display on my person, but I realize there are many who would issue is that people in Justice have feelings too. say, "it's just a t-shirt, no big deal." Either way, I am still disturbed. Thomas Wall For if the young lady chose to display such a ASU Box 11110 message so casually, and if we are meant to receive it so casually, what does this say about our society's attitude towards hate? Are we truly so indifferent to such bitter sentiments? Have we become so callous as to be flip about hatred of others? On the other hand, does it say anything better about ourselves if we have created a world in which Grrls need to grow up >08. E-mail may be sent to: Theapp@appstate.edu.

(Photo by Marvin Evans) To the Editor, "You Live Among Rapists," and, "If you are raped, you might as well enjoy it because no one will believe you." Give Me a Break! Why does it seem like every time something happens around here, some vigilante group plasters ridiculous posters all over campus and downtown Boone? Groups like these do nothing but undermine the legitimate action groups such as NOW and the NAACR (I don't include the ACLU, they're almost as bad, but that's another letter) These are the types of people that started the fires in L.A. after the Rodney King decision. These "Grrrls" must have these posters pre-printed just in case of a non-favorable decision. Instead of making fools of themselves and giving me something to laugh about (which I'm grateful for on a Monday morn­ ing), why don't they devote their energies toward something that willdo some good? These are probably the same people that defaced the Justice Hall sign. Vandalism solves about as much as violence does. So to the "Guerrilla Grrrls"...I say grow up! Jeff Cabell ASU Box 17799 people feel compelled to not only harbor, but to express such a thing openly to people they don't even know? How does one respond to such a thing? There are probably a million ways, here is mine: don't give in to hate, whether heartfelt or casual.

Pasley, a junior from and a member of the Appalachian ^ .Council, suggests that we wise up and learn a little "because we're right smack in the middle of it". It may come as a surprise to some that he Appalachian mountains are just teemng with valuable culture. Just look in the Appalachian collection. There are scores s written about our back yard, but many of us don't know the first thing about it- Well, the Appalachian Heritage Com­ mittee is seeking to put an end to that ig­ norance and it is making a strong effort this week. Things were kicked off in Tradewinds last night with a concert by one of the hottest old-time bands in the world, the Freighthoppers. Old-time is a traditional form of music native to the Appalachian mountains. It usually incorporates a fiddle, guitar, bass and banjo. But the Freighthoppers aren't just a bunch of old folkies. They play their music with an extra kick. This may have been one of the last opportunities to hear this band on cam­ pus. They recently signed with Rounder Records, a major record label. But, if you did miss them they are the opening act for this year's Merl-Fest, one of the east coast's largest acoustic music festivals, held right down the road in Wilkesboro from April 24 to 27. On Saturday the week's festivities continue with the monthly contra dance in Legends. This month the Red Hots will be the dance band and the widely ac­ claimed, Rodney Sutton, will be the caller. The dance starts at 8:00 and it is $1 for students, $4 for non-students. If you haven't been to a contra on cam­ pus yet, this may be a good opportunity for a first try. The callei; Sutton, has taught at many festivals and is well known throughout the area. He should also add a little excitement for the more experi­ enced dancers. And remember, after this dance there's only one more left for this semester. The heritage week is rounded out the following Thursday with a concert by some one that Pasley says "may be one of the best dulcimer players ever in exist­ ence", Don Pedi. The mountain dulcimer is an instrument native to the Appalachian mountains, and is played on the lap by strumming across the strings. He will be performing with fiddler Steve Millard. Pedi has incorporated Tai Chi into his training so that he is able to play fiddle times incredibly fast. Pasley says the amazing thing about Pedi's playing is that he plays the fiddle tunes almost note for note. You're just not supposed to be able to do that. So, if you're bored this Saturday or Thursday night, or if you just want to have a good time, come out to one of these events and learn a little about the culture that surrounds you. current director of NBC Sports television; the principal trial attorney in San Francisco's District Attorney's office; a New York producer, actor and director; the "I learned firsthand about racism, how M&M's are made, cultural differ­ ences, recycling, baking doughnuts and building houses," says Jenny Porter, and show twice a week with cast members from 14 countries.

Like Porter, Up With People cast mem­ bers work on community service projects with locals in every town on the tour (and help them keep it up after the cast leaves). They experience "career days" in several cities to figure out personal interests and strengths. And they go through intern­ ships to learn public relations and public speaking, education, event planning and leadership, marketing and merchandising, business management, fine arts, human resources, logistics management, and tech­ nical performance. Up With People students run cast events and coordinate so/ne cast opera­ tions; they go on tours and take part in other educational events ardund the world; they meet with business and po­ litical leaders; apd many of them find out they're entrepreneurs and marketing whiz­ zes when they raise their $12,600 tuition which covers transportation, room, board, and educational events, (in case you're wondering, that compares to some U.S. private university fees that run as high as $28,900.)

Having just written the above para­ graph, however, this may be one of the years when the awards are spread out to cover all the major films. This will prob­ ably be the case, so look for Fargo direc­ tor Joel Coen to win. He's talented and it's about time he gets recognized. Best Actor: Geoffrey Rush is definitely the front-runner in this category for his performance in Shine. The Academy loves it when actors play characters with dis­ abilities or other problems, as he does here. To be hon­ est, there is really no competition for him. Best Actress: t Picture: I would biggest contendThe English Patient go.

Best Original Screenplay: It's a tossup between Fargo (Joel and Ethan Coen) and Jerry Maguire (Cameron Crowe). Both are from the minds of writers who can mix wit and humor well, so it's hard to say. I'm going to go out on limb and say that Jerry Maguire will take it, though it would be nice, but very unlikely, to see a tie. Best Adapted Screenplay: The swarm of enthusiasm for The English Patient will likely pay off for the film here. It seems like the obvious choice for voters, but I wouldn't be surprised if they give the award to Arthur Hiller for his adaptation of his own classic play, The Crucible. Best Song: There's no Disney song nominated this year so the Academy will actually have to use their brain to choose the winner. Look for 'You Must Love Me" from Evita to take the award. They'll want to give the film something and this is the perfect category. Best Dramatic Score: I would guess it will go to Gabriel Yared for The English Patient, though Elliot Goldenthal's music from Michael Collins could provide stiff competition. However, the voters could choose John Williams for Sleepers because they recognize his name. Best Musical or Comedy Score: The Hunchback of Notre Dame (in accordance with federal law established in 1989 that states that Alan Menken must win when­ ever nominated). I would give it to Rachel Portman for Emma, though. As for the technical awards, look for Twister and Independence Day to take these. Also, expect The Nutty Professor to take the Make-up award.

Appalachian finished with eight wins and a losses in the conference, tied for secmi place. The six conference losses equal e number of combined conference losses r the Lady Mountaineers for the last three seasons. "We lost a lot more confer­ ence games than we're used to," said Robinson.

Mike Daniels Sports Editor With the loss of 22 seniors from last year's football team, including stars like Dexter Coakley and Damon Scott, this year's recruiting class will perhaps one of the most critical ever for the Appalachian State gridiron squad. Last week, Head Coach Jerry Moore announced that Appalachian had signed 20 players to national letters of intent. Moore addressed the fact that of the 22 seniors lost from last season's team, 14 were starters, nine of which played on offense. "We had some immediate needs to fill, and I think we have done that with this recruiting class," said Moore. Moore went on to say that he feels that this class is "going to have a tre­ mendous impact over the next few sea­ sons." He also made a point to note that 12 of the 20 incoming recruits are from in-state. One of the top priorities that the Mountaineers managed to address with this class was the offensive line. Four of the five starters on the team this year were seniors, including All-Americans Scott Kadlub and Chad Groover. Out of the 20 incoming freshman, seven are offensive linemen. Altogether, 15 of the 20 recruits are offensive players, meaning that the defense will most likely have to make due with what it already has next season. 1997 Football Recruits Signee Pos. Hgt. Wgt.

Mocs sweet 16 run good for SC Mike D a n i e l s Sports Editor sports commentary Here's a question that many basketball analysts are asking them­ selves this week: Out of the ACC, Big East, Big 12, Big 10, Pac-10, Atlantic 10, WAC, Conference USA and Southern Conference, which one sounds like it doesn't belong in the sweet 16? If you said the Southern Conference, you're right. However, there is a difference between sounding right and being right, and the Southern Conference being represented in the sweet 16 is right. Nobody, including myself, gave the Mocs of Tennessee-Chattanooga a chance to get out of the first round. Then they went out and beat thirdseeded Georgia. Against Illinois nobody, again including myself, gave the SC champs a prayer of winning. But the Mocs pre­ vailed in that game as well, sending the Illini packing after hearing them chant about going to Birmingham in the locker room before the game. The fact is, this team deserves everything it has achieved. This is a very talented team that was the class of the Southern Conference this season. And for those of you here at this school who believe that anybody who isn't in the ACC does not even count as a real basketball team, the Mocs should prove that that perception is incorrect. WHAT TALENT GAP? The talent gap between the small conferences (like the Southern Conference) and the big ones (all the other ones named in the first sentence) is not always as wide as it may seem or be made to seem by the media. Just look at Marshall's football team from this past season. The Thun­ dering Herd ended up in the top 20 in the Sagarin ratings at the end of the season, and deservedly so. The Thun­ dering Herd were probably the great­ est I-AA football team ever assembled. Had they played a team such as West Virginia or North Carolina they would have had a much better chance of win­ ning than teams those schools face in their own conferences. Now Tennessee-Chattanooga was not nearly as dominating in bas­ ketball this season as Marshall was in football, but the Mocs have proven that they and other lesser-known-conference teams not only belong in the tour­ nament, but can have a serious impact it. I mean, almost everybody who filled out a bracket and played a pool sheet in America who wasn't from Chat­ tanooga thought Georgia was going to be meeting either Duke or Marquette in the Southeast Regional this weekend. Instead we have a match-up between tenth-seeded Providence of the not-soBig East and the Cinderella Mocs, seeded fourteenth. WHY ROUTE FOR UTC? Although UTC is not Appala­ chian State, fans here in Boone should find themselves rooting for Chatta­ nooga. The Mocs getting as far as they have not only brings publicity towards UTC, but the entire conference as well. UTC reaching the round of 16 coincides perfectly with the increased exposure that this conference will receive in the coming years with the additions of Big South power UNC-Greensboro and na­ tionally ranked College of Charleston, who just happened to beat an ACC team (Maryland) in the tournament this year. As a supporter of the whole conference (except for Marshall), as well as the Mountaineers, it is not hard to be encouraged about the future of the Southern Conference. It has always been a powerful football league at the I-AA level, and now it is set to make a name for itself in basketball. �Page 12 The Appalachians., [Baseball from page 11 Marshall drops to 4-14, 2-7 in league PlayAlso in the four-game stretch, the Mountaineers lost to Clemson 174, after allowing 15 hits and commit­ ting five errors. Against Marshall in the first game of a double-header on Saturday Appa­ lachian bounced back, winning 12-4, despite five errors. In the second game against Marshall, the Mountaineers lost despite only committing one er­ ror, outslugging the Herd nine hits to five. Tuesday night the Mountain­ eer were outhit 13-10 as Radford Uni­ versity handed them a 13-9 loss. Radford jumped out to an early lead at the rainy Dedmon Center Park and hung on to win, fending off a five run eighth inning by the Moun­ taineers. The ninth inning was called off due to darkness. Radford exploded for seven runs in the fourth inning to open an 81 lead, and the Highlanders led 13-4 after six innings before the Mountain­ eers rallied for five runs in the eighth. The Mountaineers had the tying run at the plate in the eighth frame, but John Anderson was called out on strikes in what turned out to be the fi­ nal play of the game. Kelly Dampeer, Chris Carr and •hm Thomas each drove in two runs in the game. Mike Potter had three hits and scored two runs for the Highland­ ers. Chris Behne and Pete Snitzer both homered for Appalachian State. Behne drove in four runs on the after­ noon, and blasted a three run homer over left field in the fifth. Chris Buttram(2-5) suffered the loss for the Mountaineers, who will return to action this weekend for two games at Virginia Military.

Belanger was reported missing by her brother Troy, also an Appalachian stu­ dent, to the University Police, according to Officer Patricia Elkins. Belanger is a 27 year-old white female. She has blonde hair and blue eyes. Her height is 5'6" and she is approximately 175 lbs. Elkins also stated that Belanger's vehicle was reported missing as well.

Michael Brian Bentley, an elemen­ tary education major, was working on his last semester in school and was planning to pursue a career in teaching. Robert White, a history depart­ ment professor and a friend of Bentle/s, said that Bentley was a very involved stu­ dent who had a love for learning. "Michael liked to take problems apart.

Dr. Jefferson Boyer, an associate professor in anthropology, said the news of Bendey caught him by surprise. " He cared a lot. He wanted to give something back," said Boyer. "I was just getting to know him. I know it is a loss for ASU and us all," said Boyer of the impact of that Bendey^ death has had on him. Dr. Boyer also stated how he wished he could have prevented tms sui­ cide. "I think if there was a stronger friend­ ship support network, then it might have been prevented." Both professors stressed the im­ portance of students and teachers realiz­ ing the signs of suicide. Depression and withdrawal are just two signs of suicide that are outwardly seen. "We all are our own keepers," said Boyer of how this tragedy could have been prevented. Michael Bentley was a very unique student who was excited about learning and was willing to spread his knowledge to children. He will be missed by professors, students, his family and ASU.

The committee members are Sally Atkins, Howard Dorgan, Mark Estepp, Delbert Goff, Jane Lieberman, Frank Mohler, Joe Murphy, Conrad Oswalt, Tho­ mas Rhyne, Lyle Schoenfeldt, Arthur Unsworth, Gary Walker, David Wood and Faye Sawyer, who is the chair of the com­ mittee. The committee will be asking the question: Is there a better way of doing things? "We may or may not need to re­ organize things. We are looking at balanc­ ing the colleges more," said Dr. Howard Dorgan . Getting greater access for pro­ grams in the colleges and taking a look at the sizes of the colleges are just some of the questions that will be looked into. The committee has only met one time and has not set a date for another meeting yet. The committee plans to have an answer by the end of the fall semester. �The APPalachi atl Breakfast Special... $2.09 f wanna"| !DANCE? - Two eggs, home fries or grits, bagel or toast, and coffee or hot tea.

Besides the fact that both men have proven ^ship experience (Fernando is the president Men's Service Club, chair of an APPS counj and is a Student Ambassador), their platform ^es the most sense and presents the most sig-cant plan for positive improvements. The Little & Parker platform consists of ideas jjjich will bring the student voice back to the unijjsity. Many times students don't feel they are joperly represented by the Student Government ssociation. The Little & Parker ticket promises serai ways to ensure senators will be more re­ vive and attentive to their constituents. In ^er words, they will work to make sure SGA does ijob- serving all students. First, they propose that each on-campus senair be required to attend their Resident Student ssociation meetings in the residence halls. Offsnpus senators would be required to attend "town leetings" so that off-campus students could interitwith them. Second, Little & Parker want to expand the irrent Operation Outreach efforts so that there fould be a new cabinet member responsible to jther student feedback and concerns. He or she ould be in charge of a monthly call-in show on KASU, 90.5 The App. That person would also deck email received in response to issues posted ®the SGA homepage on the World Wide Web. little & Parker have stated that this cabinet posiaon would replace the vacant Mountaineer Escort list, empty since the service was turned over to IS!

The Little & Parker platform also calls for much leeded improvements in our ailing library and offcampus expansion of Mountaineer Escort. They want to get more popular and "student iendly" vendors to participate in the ASU discount card program. Considering that ASU students nake up a majority of the population of Boone at east eight months out of the year, this seems like agood idea.

Although going to the zoo might sound like < jood idea, it isn't. As a matter of fact, going to tht too contributes to the continuing exploitation anc oppression of our fellow animals. Animals are being exploited daily for pure, un idulterated, bourgeois profit. Advertisers use brightl) G000 POGGV— WE(m. :olored pictures of animals in various promotiona nediums to attract customers to the zoo. An example mm Jr of this gratuitous promotion of animals is Sea World Sea World purchases (captures) animals, put; tem on display, and gives them a slave name (e.g hamu). Their slave names are then mentionec extensively in print advertising, merchandise, etc. Did that whale (I refuse to acknowledge its slave tame) benefit from the use of its likeness in adver ising? Clearly, the answer is no. Although, some >eople might say yes, and state that the whales (anc jther creatures) used in advertising get plenty of food water, shelter, and medical care as a reward. This argument is wrong, and will always be wrong. Zoo animals are treated like property that must >e well maintained. If zoos did not perform regulai maintenance on the animals, the animals would get sick and die. Also, sickly animals would attract the attention of animal rights groups. At the very least the zoo would get bad press which might cause the business to lose revenue Much of the time, a court case results from this mis treatment of animals and the guilty party might sui :er a financial loss. Many zoo advocates will say that the animal; are being used for scientific research, which attempt; :o justify their imprisonment. This research, suppos idly, will be useftxl to humans in understanding the jehavioral patterns of the species being studied. Thi: irgument is like a metal umbrella used for protec­ tion in a violent thunderstorm. Animals should be studied in their own natura labitats, not in the confined spaces of a zoo. These confined spaces might affect the behavior of the ani nals being studied, which will lead to unpredictable is this: without having that opposable thumb, many md unreliable results.

Right is W r o n g Viewpoint by Matt Bielejeski Columist As I sit here writing this, my right wrist is in a cast, due to an unfortunate accident involving my­ self, a lot of water and a set of stairs. Now granted, being in a cast sucks, but the situ­ ation forced me to realize a bias in society that is so large, most people don't even think about it. Of course, the bias I'm talking about is the "righthand dominance" bias, or RHD for short. Not being able to use my right hand to its full capacity made me quite aware of the ways in which society forces its right-handed views on the helpless lefties. Examples of this bias may be found everywhere. I'm not joking. Go and get a drink of water. What side is the push button on? Zip up your jeans. What side is the zipper on? Start your car. What side is the igni­ tion on? I think you get the point. Almost everything in our universe is oriented for right-handed people. Remember those tiny chair/desk combination thingies that only had a little island for you to write on? What side was the is­ land on? Just imagine what kind of hell left handed people had to en­ dure when they had to take an essay test. Another aspect that my wrist injury forced me to realize is the importance of the opposable thumb. Yes, that appendage we all know and love that allows us to hold, grasp and strangle. If you believe in the evolution theory, the oppos­ able thumb was what allowed the primates to evolve farther than other forms of life, and therefore, al­ lowed humans to evolve with the thumb. Okay, enough of my evolution lecture. My point Correction In last weeks "Letters to the Editor," Thomas Wall's and Jeff Cabell's letters were merged into one due to a technical error. We apologize and will print the corrected letters in their entirety this Thursday in the "Letters to the Editor" section. is, "Okay, he's right. But what can I do about it?" The answer, unlike identifying the problem, is not so simple. Lobby your congressmen. Picket the White House. Start a petition. Demand action against the oppressive RHD ruling class. Scream about it in the streets. Rant and rave about it in your classes. As Wilford Brimley said, "It's the right thing to do."

"We've put a lot of time and effort into making this happen, and I hope it will be a huge success," said Long.

Artists display photos in Looking Glass Gallery Vanessa Urruela Editor-in-Chief When going through the Student Union, it is easy to walk right by the Look­ ing Glass Gallery without noticing the ever-changing treasures it holds. When passers-by miss the current exhibit, "Paramyth and the Human Experience," they'll be missing quite a lot. Inside the gallery, viewers will see dazzling photographs that convey much more than the average shot taken when the camera person says, "Say cheese!" These photographs are beautiful illustra­ tions of human emotion and natural ex­ istence. Emily McCormick's pieces are very striking portraits of women who are stu­ dents at Appalachian. "My main goal was to present the human experience of emo­ tion through portraiture," her mission statement inside the gallery says. Indeed, McCormick's work show the transendental, universality of human emo­ tion in the faces and expressions of her subjects. One familiar face in McCormick's col­ lection is Darby Weaver, last year's Stu­ dent Government Association president. The works by Jonathan Crumpler are also photographs which use natural ele­ ments combined with human models. 'These works attempt to recapture an in­ timacy between humans and nature as portrayed in the Greek myths," says Crumpler's mission statement. Crumpler's photographs show the in­ nate tie between human beings and the natural world around us. The striking combinations of organic elements like leaves and plants together with humans makes the viewer contemplate the place and purpose of humanity in a world so affected by the environmental decay we have caused. It is important that the Appalachian community see the work of McCormick and Crumpler. Their work is both pleas­ ant to the eye and intriguing. For more information about the Look­ ing Glass Gallery or about whether works are for sale, please call the Student Pro­ grams Office at 262-3032. �Page 8 The Appalachian edge EDG INTRAMURAL EXCELLENCE To get the Men's AAA finals: Women's AAA finals: Show Time vs. Tha Doggs Nothing but Net vs. Don't Matter who beat out PIKA Alliance in quarterfinals and 10 Cent Sandwich in semifinals who beat out The Rage in the quarterfinals and Thrillers in semifinals who beat out The All Stars in Semifinals To get to the Men's AA finals: Pandemnioum who beat out Firm in quarterfinals and Kurts Kids in semifinals Da Bomb's who beat out Corrupted Khaos Rec had a bye •Co-Rec Volleyball* March 25 •5K Road Race •Badminton April 1 Stop by the Grandfather Ballroom in the Plemmons Student Union Thursday, March 20th from 11 am - 2 pm.

I'm a Carolina fan, but I rooted for Fairfield, they needed it." Ogier said the and had no trouble throwing their sup­ port behind the Cinderella Stags, despite the fact that other members of the band be­ sides him were UNC fans. Jackson said that the band originally wanted ano­ nymity going into the game so that they would "have an ele­ ment of surprise against the Tar Heel band." Jackson said that there is "a healthy com­ petitive edge against other bands," citing Appalachian's usual band ri­ valry at the Wake Forest football game and with West­ ern Carolina. Ogier said that it was fun being able to meet bands from other schools that Ap­ palachian nor­ mally does not play. Ogier said that the ac­ Appalachian's pep claimed Indiana (file photo) band "was cheering us on." Jackson also agreed that "the Indiana basketball band was extremely complimentary of our band." Ogier also commented on the Fairfield fans, saying that they were all extremely friendly and appreciative of the band's help. Despite the'large talent gap be­ tween the two teams, the game turned out to be quite a thriller, which made the band's job much easier. The underdog , # • / • .i Stags were able to nearly pull off the big­ gest upset in tournament history behind the hot shooting of Greg Francis before succumbing to the Tar Heels 82-74, in a game that will go down in the annals of sports trivia as the game in which Dean Smith tied Adolph Rupp's career win record at 876.

Outdoor track season opens in Charlotte Mike Daniels Sports Editor The Appalachian State track team got into the spirit of spring this weekend as they opened their outdoor season at UNC-Charlotte Sunday. Competing at the 49ers' new five million dollar facility along with Appalachian and the hosts were Liberty, N.C. State, Winthrop, Virginia Com­ monwealth, Davidson, UNC-Greensboro and Campbell. Although the meet was not scored, Appalachian picked up three first place finishes all in the women's competition. Freshman Mary Harrelson finished first in the 1500 meter race with a time of 4:35.35. Her mark was the fastest ever for a freshman at Ap­ palachian. Senior Ayokka Green topped the field in the shot put with a throw of 45 feet and 10 inches. Senior Rachel Olander finished first in the javelin with a throw of 130 feet. Olander also set a new school mark in the hammer throw with a mark of 135 feet and seven inches, but only finished second in the competition. Senior Rich Latta improved his personal hammer throwing record with a toss of 175 feet and seven inches, which ranks him third all-time at Ap­ palachian. Freshman Jim Campbell had a throw of 172 feet in the javelin compe­ tition to put him at third all-time at Appalachian in that category. Other second place finishers for Appalachian were sophomore Corie Fuchs, who was second in the 3000 7 • meter race with a time of10:26.65, and Green, who was second in the discus competition with a throw of 127 feet and five inches. Mountaineers after .500 season came in I wasn't really concerned about game winning streak, and brought back Mountaineers. "Here's a kid that's got a wins and losses," reflected Peterson. "I some much needed confidence, the three- year under his belt, wrote the freshman was more concerned with laying the game winning streak included victories assists record," said Peterson. "He's only groundwork for the program." Success over conference foes UNC-Greensboro going to get better." Even with the loss of leading happened to be a by-product of Peterson's and Western Carolina. The streak was only a sign of scorer Junior Braswell, the future looks and the team's hard work over the year. Yet the season was, by no means, what was to come later in the season for bright for the Mountaineers. With a cakewalk for the Mountaineers. Perhaps the Mountaineers.

In his senior season, Braswell increased his scoring average from 12 points a game to nearly 20 points a game. "I'm a big be­ liever in leaders. I like to see seniors have big years," said Peterson. "(The team) lis­ tened to what Junior said," Peterson re­ marked. "He had the respect oTall his teammates." The respect was well deserved. Braswell caught the attention of many coaches and players around the confer­ ence with his 43-point effort against Davidson in Appalachian's last regular season game and his tournament average of 27 points a game. The season ended on somewhat of a sour note for the Mountaineers, with an 84-78 loss to Marshall in the confer­ ence tournament. The loss was cushioned by the Apps' victory the night before over West­ ern Carolina. "We were so tired of hear­ ing about how we couldn't beat a team three times in a season," said Peterson of the Apps victory over the Catamounts. "After beating Western, everything else seemed to be like dessert. Instead of look­ ing at the Western game as the main course, we should have looked at the whole tournament as the main course." ^lay-in games should be out of conference tournaments J In conference basketball tournathere seems to be a contest to see |Ujs Quickly the underdog can be disi^.Sed.

L^h ^ated reporter writing for "The ttician," the school paper at N.C. 3 coined the name and it stuck. « With this set-up, the teams, which e Way are already the worst in the 1. *. conference, usually represent a work-out for the number one seeds. If the number one seeds are really that good, why do the worst teams need to be worn down the night before? Do the best teams re­ ally need that much of an advantage? This year's ACC tournament was perhaps one of the best in 20 years. The eighth seeded Wolfpack threw a monkey wrench into everything by winning the play-in game, defeating the top seeded Duke Blue Devils the next day, and then knocking out Maryland before finally los­ ing in the championship game to North Carolina on Sunday. I found this to be an incredible development. Imagining the faces on ACC officials the whole time N.C. State was winning made the games all the more pleasurable. As a fan, I think play-in games take upsets, the best part of tournament games, away. Upsets are what make a tournament. If the top seeds won all the games in the NCAA tournament, would people still watch? I know I sure wouldn't. In short, upsets generate interest. This year, the NCAA tournament has been loaded with upsets. TennesseeChattanooga, the Southern Conference Justin Griffin Assistant Sports Editor sports commentary champion and 14-seed in the tournament defeated Georgia, a number three-seed, and Illinois, a six-seed, to earn a spot in the Sweet 16 next weekend. And let's not forget about fif­ teenth seeded Coppin State's upset of sec­ ond seeded South Carolina. The College of Charleston, who, including myself, no one gave a chance in the tournament, defeated ACC power Maryland in the first round and fell four points short of upset­ ting Arizona in the second round. Could upsets like these have hap­ pened if there would have been a play-in game for some of the lesser teams in the tournament? I think not. A WOMEN'S TOURNAMENT? Yes, I think the Southern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference alike should borrow an idea from the Southern Con­ ference women's tournament. The women's tournament officials in our con­ ference have the best possible answer to a tournament play-in game. That is to have the play-in games on the campus of the higher seed at least two days before the start of the regular tournament. In actuality, the women play their first round games on campus because as of now, there are eight women's teams in the conference, not ten teams like the men have. There are no play-in games for the women, making their tournaments more interesting because of upset possibilities. In the women's SC tourney this year, there was a major upset. Cellardweller East Tennessee State was able to knock off top seeded Furman in Greenville, S.C. to keep the Paladins from making the trip up 1-77. After arriving in Greensboro Saturday, ETSU took Georgia Southern to the limits, only to lose in over­ time by three points. This is the kind of thing I like to see as a fan. I don't think the men's tour­ naments should copy the women's exactly because it's not feasible. But I do see a good idea with the play-in games being played on-campus. D U A T T C T T f A T T V THOUGH, REALISTICALLY T U H T i r o the conference tournament officials will never get rid of those infernal Thursday night games. The extra games mean more rev­ enue from television, more exposure, and ultimately more money for the host city. Whether it's right or wrong, money is an issue and perhaps always will be. The ACC, in trying to make things more interesting, made things a whole heck of lot more confusing. The "Les Robinson Invitational" is now defunct. Next season there will not be a tourna­ ment play-in game for the ACC tourna­ ment, just a ridiculous plan to keep Thurs­ day night in the tournament weekend. The number one seed will play the num­ ber nine seed on Thursday night and the number seven and the number eight seed will also play to see who gets the right to play the number two team on Friday. Coaches, players, and fans alike will gripe and complain about this injus­ tice known as a play-in game until the end of time, or so it seems! The people in charge will, in all likelihood, never do anything to change to format to make it more equitable. The reason why, someone might ask? Money. It's that simple. �Page 10 The Appalachian 18 Appalachian News Ma, Appalachian News, offcial University News and Ann,Ulll pears in each issue of the paper.

Mike Hagerty (left) and Jewel Irish Cliff Fitte(left) and Michelle Lawrence Bill Clinton may have sealed the 1996 national election, but campaign fe­ ver still lingers across campus as candi­ dates have declared their intentions to run for the offices of Student Government Association president and vice-president. Hopefuls appeared before the SGA senate Tuesday to announce their plans to pursue office. Three tickets will vie for the presi­ dency and vice-presidency. The teams of Fernando Little and Jake Parker, Cliff Fitte and Michelle Lawrence, and Mike Hagerty and Jewel Irish will campaign through Wednesday for student votes. Candidates appeared before the senate to field questions from senators. Each ticket discussed platform goals and qualifications for serving as SGA president and vice-president. The team of junior Fernando Little and sophomore Jake Parker (candi­ dates for president and vice-president, respectively) has made restoration of the student voice a main campaign goal. student mam ecuuyaisii aw- "We are the true advocates of stu­ dents," Little said. Little and Parker's platform goals include "Breakfast with Borkowski," a pro­ gram which would allow students to have breakfast meetings with Chancellor Borkowski in order to discuss concerns, a referral system between campus residence halls, mandatory Resident Student Asso­ ciation meetings for on-campus senators and "town meetings" held weekly as an opportunity for off-campus senators to communicate with their constituents. Both Parker and Little feel their varied leadership experiences make their ticket the best choice. Little said that while Parker has SGA experience from serving as Mountaineer Escort director last semes­ ter, he has gained leadership experience through other activities and has gained the knowledge to serve students through these experiences. "We are committed to being your voice at Appalachian State," he said. "We are here to serve students of ASU—not the administration. We accept that role enthusiastically." Juniors Cliff Fitte and Michelle Lawrence (candidates for president and vice-president, respectively) asked stu­ dents to concentrate on the current issues at Appalachian and what may happen next , year in order to determine the ticket with platform goals that will best accommodate the needs of students. "Think about this year, and think about next year," Fitte said. "Look through all of the gunk and comprehend what (the candidates) are trying to say." Platform goals of Fitte and Lawrence include safety seminars incor­ porated into Phase I Orientation and Freshman Seminar classes, improvement and expansion of SGA's Operation Out­ reach program, traffic management im­ provements and concentration on student concerns such as diversity. Both Fitte and Lawrence said their SGA experiences add to their abil­ ity to serve the student body effectively. "I don't think anyone could do a job with­ out hands-on experience," Lawrence said. Experience held by Fitte and Lawrence include cabinet positions as External Affairs chairperson and State Affairs Chairperson, respectively. Lawrence said their positions have al­ lowed them a view of state-wide affairs which could benefit Appalachian. The final ticket of junior Mike Hagerty and sophomore Jewel Irish has organized their campaign around a desire to improve the overall Appalachian com­ munity. "In the past, students have felt that we (SGA) don't reach students," Hagerty said. If elected, Hagerty said, he and Irish would improve this situation through various outreach programs in order to take student concerns to the administration. Hagerty said he and Irish formed their platform goals based upon the opin­ ions of a group of 20 students, with whom they have been working on a campaign since October. Other platform goals include be­ ginning an outreach program called 'The Appalachian Connection," advocating ASU police on mountain bikes, support­ ing the protection and maintenance of University Woods, and implementing a security/student "ride along" program. Both Hagerty and Irish feel the strength of their ticket lies within their SGA experience. Both have served as sena­ tors and cabinet members. Hagerty cur­ rently serves as Academic Affairs chairper­ son, and Irish is the SGA treasurer. "We observe a lot that goes on," Irish said. Voting will take place March 1920. Off-campus students may vote in the student union between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., and on-campus students may vote in their residence halls between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. NAACP reactivates campus chapter • Perrin Avent Staff Writer African-Americans,Whites, Hispanics, and any color of the rainbow of races make up the almost 500,000 Americans who belong to the National Association of the Advanced of Colored People. Since 1909, the nation s largest secular citizens action agency has grown to become the most powerful and re­ spected civil rights organization today. Now, its continuing growth reaches Appalachian State University as the campus officially received its own charter last February. With that charter comes a new hope of respect for the organization and the people it represents. Yet some believe the NAACP's rep­ resentation poses limitations on the color of skin. "One of the founders was white," said President Jackie Poage, a freshman from South Carolina. "We (the NAACP) want to inform every student of the prob­ lems blacks and other minority groups are facing." "The main purpose is to end dis­ crimination, and to make sure everything is equal, and to improve the political, edu­ . i :_i i o«.om,o /-.( ers will be covered up.

"We want to work with the SGA SG. and student development to raise the Af­ rican-American enrollment. We want to go to high schools to recruit." Increased African-American en­ rollment also means an increase in diver­ sity for the campus. However, the NAACP's survival also depends upon it. With this year's African -American freshmen building the backbone of the organization, Poage is certain the next three years for the char­ ter will insure stability. "The NAACP plans to get the in­ coming freshmen pumped up and excited (about the NAACP) especially during Black Awareness Weekend," Poage ex­ plained. "We're not just political, we're also fun, and that's important." Hands are what build and hold the NAACP together. Yet, money is still needed to help ease the support that keeps them there. "The NAACP is not a club. It's an organization," Poage said. "We're still going through funds, and we want a bud­ get. So we're going to ask organizations to set aside certain amounts for next year and ask churches." Support didn't fail, however, to NAACP see page 2 �Page 2 The Appaiark:. NAACP from page 1 come from Vice Chancellor Blinding, the Black Student Asso­ ciation, the Alpha Phi Alpha fra­ ternity, Harry Williams of admis­ sions, or the Council for Cultural Awareness. Yet, Poage admitted that there were certain forces that be­ lieved the NAACP wouldn't make it this far. But, even to those eyes, the NAACP's determination to stay is inevitable. We have the support from the main office, if nothing else, and that's the main thing," Poage said. Appalachian's NAACP op­ erates within the national policies but from a college level, which is what the national NAACP wants every school to have. Even members of the na­ tional organization can still be part of the NAACP at their schools. One of the first functions of Appalachian's NAACP was the in­ duction ceremony for board mem­ bers last month. The newly inducted ex­ ecutive board at Appalachian in­ clude: freshman Jackie Poage, CAMP president; junior LaShona Fulmore, vice-president; freshman Wakeelah Ar-Rahem, secretary; and senior Vontrice Roundtree. Meetings are held every DIVERSITY RECREATI0 U Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in room 214 of the Broyhill Music Center. 'Any­ one can join," stressed Poage. "We're all fighting for the same cause."

The project must stay within the $5.6 million budget to honor a previous promise to the university community not to raise parking fees, Helm said.

To many in the South, the flag is a symbol of pride and remembrance of their heritage. "Heritage, not hate," is a common slogan for defending the dis­ play of this flag. I agree with this statement somewhat, for people should never forget their heritage for whatever rea­ sons. But just because you view the flag as a symbol of pride does not mean that you should blatantly use it for the sole purpose of shock value. If you view the flag as offensive, don't revile the person displaying it and neglect their intentions. This is just as bad as white people discriminating against those who take pride in the legacy of Malcolm X (who many whites find offensive). Heritage is history, and many people find posi­ tive aspects in various objects, whether it be Dixie or Malcolm. Members of our generation must all work to­ gether to overcome the stereotypes that are still domi­ nate our society, no matter how hidden they are. I have met far more lazy, trashy, ignorant white people in my life than people of color, and I refuse to be a non-participant when it comes to confronting someone involving race. This works both ways, of course. Reverse dis­ crimination exists and is just as wrong as when whites do it. Bigotry of any sort is the result of insecurities and inferiorities, so some people feel that they have to tear down others to make themselves feel worth­ while. What easier way to do that than to focus on the most obvious distinguishing physical character­ istic of much of the population? Race is a complicated issue, with several facets that must be confronted, not only between races, but within them as well. We must help put a stop to discrimination, both black and white. We mustn't let overt racism be­ come common in our society again and we must stop the growing amount of closet racism as well. Every­ one must become active participants in diffusing a worsening situation. It is up to the individual to do this, but if everyone puts forth some effort, progress can be made. Perhaps we can pull ourselves out of this racial quagmire that our country is treading further into, and replace the mean-spiritedness that is pervasive­ ness in our country with a feeling of amicability and hope.

ASU was for many of us the only contact we had journalism I have seen in The Appalachian. Ms. with other students in similar situations since we are Cagle's main concern in her article is that we shouldn't "separate ourselves" by displaying the Confederate scattered across the various curricula and at differ­ ent points in the educational process, while this group flag.

The myriad of heritages and cultures con­ Susanne Davis Faircloth tained within our country are what give it strength, ASU Box 7337 and the suppression of such an expression of that diversity as the Confederate flag would serve only to weaken our national pride. Furthermore, Ms. Cagle's assertion that the only thing the Civil War was fought over was "the right to To the editor "You Live Among Rapists." "If you are raped, you keep slaves" blatantly disregards historical fact. Yes, might as well enjoy it because no one will believe slavery was an issue in the conflict.

Instead of making fools of for 132 years this April 9, not 300 years). Lastly, I think that Ms. Cagle needs to take into themselves and giving me something to laugh about (which I'm grateful for on a Monday morning), why account the fact that just because a person is proud don't they devote their energies toward something to be a native of Dixie and can look upon the "Stars and Bars" with pride does not mean that that person that will do some good? Slavery wasn't only issue Grrls need to grow up must necessarily condone slavery. The next time Ms. Cagle looks upon the Confed­ erate flag with disgust and labels it a despicable icon, I would ask her to visit the Cherokee Indian reserva­ tion and ask what their eyes see when they look upon our beloved Stars and Stripes. Sincerely, Michael Bell ASU Box 11496 Quit whining about flag To the editor; I would like to express my opinion of the Con­ federate flag. First off, to those who are offended by the flag, stop whining! There will not be a day in your life when you do not find something offensive. I would also like to uncover for you the guise of "state's rights" being the reason for the Civil War. The primary state right the South wanted to keep was the right to own slaves. Anyone who tells you differ­ ent is ignorant or lying. I was raised on the coast of North Carolina. I am white. "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys", I love country music, and I do drive a beat up, old pickup truck. I am also very proud of being South­ ern. To me it means being hardworking, honest, down-to-earth, well-mannered, laid- back, and fam­ ily oriented. This pride permeates from my actions, it is not and does not need to be evoked from a sym­ bol. Those who need a symbol to be reminded of their heritage cannot be truly proud of it. Russell Evans Minatel ASU Box 18601 Check accuracy on dates To the editor, n In the Feb. 25 opinion column, Managing Edi­ tor Renee Cagle remarks, and I quote, "It seems to me that flying the confederate flag over state houses implies it is still about the South against the North. Guess what? The war has been over for more than 300 years." Well, guess what? Last time I checked, this coun­ try was founded in 1776, making the USA only 221 years old this coming July. The "War of Northern Aggression" happened nearly 100 years later. I don't know if this was a typographical or a copy error, but if it wasn't, in my opinion, this statement served to discredit anything she has to say. "Fairness, Accuracy and Public Service since 1934." Need to double check that accuracy part every now and then.

Box 381 Boone. NC. 28607-038 To the editor, Recently, the newspapers have been inundated with a story about six males and one female. I am not immune to the emotions of this story. Also, I do not pretend to know exactly what went on in this encounter. Having said that, let us pretend for a mo­ ment that she was willing to engage in a sexual en­ counter with these six young men. There is a question that keeps coming to my mind. Did any of those young men question what was best for this fellow human being? After all, can not most of us say that we have needed others to care for us? The idea that perhaps this person would make different decisions in a more coherent state of mind should not seem ludicrous and should never elude us. Hundreds of inebriated individuals decide to drive their automobiles home nighdy. You do not need to be a rocket scientist to see that this is a mis­ take. If we let others make or participate in this mis­ take, we can kill or seriously injure someone. How­ ever, it is a mistake that a lot of us have prevented people from making. Can we not see the similarities between these two situations? Please do not misunderstand. I do believe that above all, individuals are responsible for their own actions. This rule not only applies to the young woman in this situation, it applies to the young men as well. I feel some amount of responsibilityto lead my male human counterparts towards a more com- Channel energy for positive purposes To the editor, As I have watched the recent events unfold over what has come to be known as "The Rape Case," I am steadily filled with disgust. A very unfortunate incident has occurred here on campus and it is not the first of this year Different "camps" have begun to spring up on this issue and they are quickly taking on this fight as though it were theirs. What is going on here? We are fighting with each other and no one is getting anywhere. Instead of reading speeches proclaiming your personal dis­ gust (or that of your organization), standing in win­ dows and indecently exposing yourself to make a statement, or insulting others by tagging names such as "freaky white girls" to others, why not turn this energy to help heal the campus on this issue? Certainly, no one can be a proponent of rape. Therefore, we should be dealing with the problems by discussing and educating ways to eradicate it. Instead of shouting and yelling with no direction, ion. let's calm our voices and begin an effective discus­ sion on ways to resolve the situation.

It was also performed last ^ursday night in I.G. Greer Arena TheI'PF gogosian, who is most famous for his leas Steven Segal's nemesis in "Under Le II," originally wrote the play as a j„e man show, but a multitude of tal­ ked players adopted the quirky mono­ dies, adding their own unique twists. The play is a series of character sketches mosdy performed by one indi­ vidual. Each character is pulled from the fringe of our post-modern, urban society. Characters range from the stereotypical down-andout ex-con drug addict, to a tremen­ dously shallow and pushy yuppie ordering pricey food from a deli. Each monologue reminds the audience of society's penchant for conspicuous consumption, overin­ dulgence, and perceived glamour over drugs and alcohol. All the while, subtle hints are made toward the effects of our consumer driven culture on those at the bottom of the chain. Particularly hilarious was Brad Fairbank's portrayal of an aging, ex-drug addict, rock star, who reminisces with dis­ Need a break?

Little-to-no exprerience and hardly any ability at their chosen instrument are :o hinderance to many of the naiive kids who want to start a band, get rich and tie a moaning rock star. For those about to rock, we forgive you. Not everyone can be like Weekend Excursion, a group of Greensboro natives who have managed to supercede that with-rock complex. The band is: Mike Ferry, violin; Chris Croch, lead guitarist; Cas Edmunds, drummer; Jeff Foxworth, rhythm guitar­ ist; Danny Donovan, bass; and Aaron Shepard, vocals. All but Ferry attend Ap­ palachian State. This sextet rocks in more ways than one. Expect to hear some fine musician­ ship from these guys if you catch their opening slot with Far Too Jones at the Klondike tonight at 10 pm. Their sound bounces between genres ontheir demo tape. The opening track, "Edmund's Basement", sounds very much like the mostly-forgotten Psychefunkapus. The grooves are so deep you could fall in them and never be seen again. The closing track, "Stronger", displays some decent songwriting and a bit softer feel than the other material on the tape. While it would be a bit of a stretch to call them a jam band, Weekend Excursion does jam.

Foy says, "We have both worked so many jobs, opening up this store was just common sense." Both agree they are proud of their hard work and efforts to get where they are today. They only hope that the future will be full of support from the commu­ nity. For two full time, 20 year old college students to open their own store is bewil­ dering. Most students have a hard time getting to class on time. Foy and Talty enjoy serving the community and lend­ ing a helping hand to those who need a place to sell their crafts, Coming up with rent in the beginning timp hard. Especially oin^/a they alcn havp was since also have their lives outside of the store to worry about. Talty says, "Opening up this boutique was definitely worth while, but we won't do it for at least another five years." The crafts they put on consignment allow not only for the seller to make profit, but the store as well. If there are people who are interested in making clothes, they provide material as well. The store's success is based on the community. Foy says, "There is a market for people to purchase hand-crafted items."

They shouldn't have dipped their spoon in cliches before they tried to shove it down the public's gulletts. The Spin Doctors on crack? It's a good possibility. "What time is it?" It's rime to change the CD. There were a couple of songs that I was sure would not sound like all of the others. But I was fooled. Every track eventually gave me of a mental picture of a couple over grown kids in a garage whining about overly pleasant things and trying desperately to give the lead guitarist every opportunity to "rock". Detect a little sarcasm and dissappointment? Good I'm laying it on pretty thick. Leave this one on the shelves, -^r Alan Parsons- On Air, River North Records Alan Parsons just can't seem to get past his relationship with Pink Floyd. On this tritely atmospheric cd he doesn't touch them. Parsons came up with a technological twist to the marketing of this cd- the cd is actually an audio one as well as a cd-rom featuring music videos and short films. The music is the kind you can study to but not the kind that gets stuck in your head. Parsons' has a very produced sound that leaves listeners wanting a little more. ** The Way Store - MCA If I didn't know better I'd swear that Eddie Vedder had twin brother, Sparky Vedder. I would base this theory on the band The Why Store. At times it sounds and feels like Pearl Jam. But it's not. And that's good, at least for this band. Rather than going completely cli­ che, this band is a little innovative and has some interesting songs. Noticible on the CD are several tracks which include classical guitar and organ, quite a shift from the grunge sound. But it works and livens up the CD. Overall, it's worth a listen. 1l3l VI pjOA\S¥<M3 JMlns o| sjDAvsay �Page 8 The Appalachian 13 Super Crossword ACROSS "Of course we have to go back in.

The Keydet grappler won the yweight championship match by virrf a 15-5 major decision over UNCinsboro's Ben Stark, pulling VMI into iree-way tie with Appalachian and 'G for the conference title. Three Mountaineer grapplers led league titles in their respective ses, earning a trip to the NCAA Wresl Championships in Cedar Rapids, a. Juniors Tony Hairston and Derek hel are no stranger to the national h The team co-captains are making r second trip to the NCAA Champion­ ships after convincing wins in the confer­ ence tournament. The two grapplers are the 16th and 17th wrestlers in Mountain­ eer history to capture two league titles during their careers. Hairston breezed through the semifinals and finals of the 118 lb. bracket to earn his second consecutive Southern Conference title. The Walnut Cove na­ tive advanced to the final round after pin­ ning Davidson's Miles Cox at the 0:27 mark. Hairston posted a 10-6 win in the finals over Tennessee-Chattanooga's Mike Waldron to take the crown. "I really think that Tony (Hairston) could place in the NCAA's," head coach Paul Mance said. "He is one of the toughest guys on our team and I think that he has a great chance to per­ form well in the nationals." Strobel claimed the crown at 167, also his second consecutive league title, in a match that would be a factor in the final scoring for the tournament. "Strobel's match was an impor­ tant one," Mance said. "He needed to win for us to have enough points at the end to win." Strobel pulled though for the Mountaineers, winning the championship by a six to three decision over UNCG's Jamie Hensch, avenging a loss suffered to him earlier in the season. The match was the last one of the evening for the Mountaineers as they could only watch and wait to see how the tournament un­ folded. Freshman David Hopper cap­ tured the conference title at 126 by de­ feating UTC's Andy Cook by a six to one decision. The Grove, Oklahoma native took his semifinal match in convincing fashion, defeating VMI's Frank Lucero by a 10-1 major decision. The two tourna­ ment wins for Hopper pulled his overall record to 16-15 on the season. Junior Erik Smith wraps up the list of Mountaineer national qualifiers, earning a wild-card bid to the NCAA Tour­ nament. Smith cruised through his semi­ final match against UTC's Adrian Botchlet, winning by a 10-4 decision. The Penn State transfer fell to VMI's Adam Mickiewicz, Southern Conference Most Outstanding Wrestler-of-the-Year, in the finals by a nine to three score. Smith, along with VMI's Reese Edgington, earned the league's two NCAA wild card entries, which was decided by the conference coaches following the con­ clusion of the tournament. Sophomore Rob Daly posted a one win, one loss record in the tourna­ ment to finish second at 142. Sophomore Jason Brown (150) and junior Carl Barton (158) posted third place finishes in their respective weight classes. Heavyweight Matt Kim tallied a one win, two loss record in the clash, finishing fourth in his bracket. By winning three individual tides in the event, Mance now has produced at least one individual champion in each of his 21 seasons at Appalachian. The Moun­ taineers, along with VMI, are taking a league-high four wrestlers to the national tournament, which starts March 20 and runs through the 22nd at the UNI-Dome at Northern Iowa University.

Last year I wrote a column simi­ lar to this one in which I told people that they should pick Princeton to beat defend­ ing champ UCLA in the first round. Al­ though many people may have thought I was crazy for being so sure of Princeton, it turned out, as I'm sure you all remem­ ber, that the Tigers were able to knock off Jim Harrick's Bruins. This year I can't really help out with people's picks since you've already turned your pool sheets in by now, but I am again going to pick Princeton in the first round anyway despite the fact that they are once again going to be outmatched in almost every way by the Bears. Although the Tigers have a new coach in Bill Carmody, their style of play remains the same. They play an incred­ Kathy Beam Staff Writer Danny Sink Staff Writer ne out of three ain't bad David Jackson Staff Writer Mountaineers unsuccessful over Spring Break ibly slow offense in which they do not shoot until they know they can score, and, for the 13th season in a row, they led the nation in defense, allowing just 52 points a game from their opponents. The scary part is that the Tigers seem to have im­ proved under their new coach, whom the players adore even more than the legend­ ary Pete Carril. Other good choices to go with for first round upsets include Long Island (who lead the nation in total offense av­ eraging over 92 points a game), Old Do­ minion, Texas, College of Charleston, Mi­ ami of Ohio and Fairfield. (Just kidding on that last one.) As for the second round, best bets for upsets could include Temple over top seeded Minnesota, Marquette over second seeded Duke and local favorite UNC-Charlotte over second seeded Utah. Temple and Marquette are both perennial upset favorites every year because they are both extremely well coached teams in good conferences that play incredibly tough on defense. Temple, with its match-up zone defense and its preparation for the tour­ nament by playing one of the toughest schedules in the country during the regu­ lar season, could end up with a rematch against Cincinnati, who the Owls beat earlier this season, in the great eight in the Midwest bracket. UNC-Charlotte is a good pick for an upset because nobody, including most of the people in this state, know how good this team really is. Playing in the shadow of the ACC, the 49ers went 21-8 in the notto-shabby Conference USA this season and actually ended up in the tournament final before losing to Marquette. In fact, in ranking the conferences overall I would have to say that Confer­ ence USA was the fourth best in the coun­ try this year behind the Big 12, the SEC See Madness page 10 f While the rest of us were en- j joying a week at the beach, the Appa- j lachian State baseball team was on the | road playing games throughout both ; of the Carolinas.

After their games at Furman, Appalachian traveled to Spartanbur; S.C. to play the Wofford Terri Wofford defeated Appalachian four to one in a game postponed by rain. The Terriers took an early lead and kept it throughout. Andy Cheek balked to j bring in Brian Maloney, which gave ' Wofford the lead in the first. The Mountaineers only run came in the fifth with Wofford on top two-nothing. Cliff Cameron doubled to bring Berrier I around. Wofford sealed their victo: in the seventh by adding two more run s to their total. Due to this loss, Che record is now at no wins and tint !, « losses. Berrier finished at two for fiv ; and Cameron ended three for four. Next stop was Chapel Hill, to j • face the University of North Carolina ; Tarheels.

The I; Tarheels had a six to nothing lead up ' 1 until the sixth, when Appalachian scored five runs to bring the game within one. The Mountaineers rallied with three runs in the eighth and one in the ninth. They scored two in the ; tenth to take the game. Appalachian had 13 hits on the day, three of them '• coming from Andy Cheek who was in s; the outfield. Berrier and Cameron had two hits each. Will Lathan got credit ! for the win, with only 1.2 innings I pitched.

Berndt joined Appalachian in 1989 as annual fund director and was development officer for the Reich Col­ lege of Education. Prior to that, she was manager of the Boone mall for three years. "It was a difficult decision to leave Appalachian because of our friends in the community and positive experience I had at the university, but Duke offered a professional opportu­ nity I could not turn down," she said. "Her enthusiasm about her work with friends of the university is an inspiration to all of us," said Dr. Siegfried Hermann, vice chancellor for development. "Susan has done an outstand­ ing job for Appalachian and the ad­ vancement division," said Fred Robinette, acting associate vice chanicslor for development. "Her warm and jcaiing personality has endeared her to many alumni, parents and friends. Duke University is extremely fortunate to have attracted such a fine develop­ ment professional."

(Photo by Toni Mazzaglia) Appalachian State University's Library Advisory Board recently acquired six new members. Established in 1994 with eight members, the Library Advisory Board is now heavily involved in plans for Appalachian's centennial campaign, said Patty Wheeler, director of development at Belk Library. The now 20-member board works to raise money for the library, take care of book donations and improve the library's community service. The board is made up of alumni and "friends of the university." The new members are Margaret Hayden and Eleanor Vosburgh, both of Blowing Rock, Pauline Thompson of Boone, Julian Carr of Morrisville, Barbara Freiman of Lenoir, and Dr. James Sawyer of Newark, Del. Both Carr and Sawyer have received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Appalachian; Carr in 1976, and Sawyer in 1980. The new members have diverse backgrounds. Before retiring, Carr was editorial director of the Reader's Digest Education Division and the Globe Book Co. Freiman is development director at Caldwell Community College and Tech­ nical Institute in Hudson. She is a mem­ ber of the board of directors at the Bank of Granite in Granite Falls. Hayden was elected to two terms in the N.C. House of Representatives and now owns Child Wise, an educational con­ sulting firm. She also served as assistant state superintendent of public instruction for policy and planning and recently served on the Year of the Mountains Com­ mission. Sawyer, a former Appalachian faculty member, was division director of the International Reading Association for 17 years. Thompson, a former Florida art gallery manager, is a member of the board of the Appalachian Consortium and the Appalachian Council of International Studies. She was recognized for outstand­ ing contributions to the university's inter­ national studies program in 1987. Vosburgh serves on the Appear­ ance Advisory Commission, the Historical Society board, and the Community Club board in Blowing Rock, and is a commit­ tee member of Boone's Resort Area Ministries. Mathematics department wins award Innovative course gains national recognition Katie Word Reporter The creation of Math 1010, an in­ troductory course specifically designed for Liberal Arts majors, won the Mathemati­ cal Sciences department a first-place award in a national competition this past summer. Students' lack of interest in math­ ematics sparked the Annenberg/CPB Project and the National Science Founda­ tion to host the first annual awards for Innovative Programs Using Technology (INPUT). The competition rewarded the work of outstanding professors and de­ partments who made exemplary efforts to stimulate collegiate math courses. The creation of Appalachian's award-winning mathematics curriculum was headed by mathematics professors Holly Hirst and James Smith. The course was designed to meet the core mathemat­ ics requirement for non-technical majors and covers trigonometry, finance, statis­ tics and linear programming in detail. "We searched for a course we could teach that would be useful and give our students some mathematical power," Hirst said. Along with Hirst and Smith, the entire department integrated writing, computers and cooperative learning into the course, as well as many other handson activities. The curriculum, a workbook and lab activities were submitted in the na­ tional competition last summer. However, it was not until January at the National Mathematics meeting that the department learned of their first place award for Best Quantitative Literacy. The award also incorporated stu­ dent input. Tori Terrizzi and Andrew Foltz are credited for their work on the work­ book cover. Student Warren Potts was commended for creative input on the workbook's title, "How do you know? Using math to make decisions." The course resulted in a $1,000 award for the Mathematical Sciences de­ partment, as well as the honor of being a nationally- recognized institution. �Page 2 The Appalachian 2S Spelling bee to benefit library Marianne Suggs.

When others view this flag they see a symbol of Heri­ tage and Pride. I am one of the latter. A native son of North Carolina, I was raised in the Piedmont. Through my life I have come in contact with many different cultures: Korean, African, Cam­ bodian, Hispanic, Chinese, Rednecks, Country Boys (there is a big difference), Yankees and everything in between. I have seen people that despise the Confederate Flag with a passion un­ matched by many things in this world, and I have seen those who worship the flag as though it were holy. I have seen those who see the flag as a way of life, a sense of pride, and a source of heritage, and those who see the flag as a symbol of supremacy. And though I know I should not pass judgment on my fellow man, I have. And through my observations I have see that those who march with the Confed­ erate Flag and say, "We are the masters, all who are not of the Aryan race must bow down and serve us," these people are ignorant, close minded, and fools. It is this type of person that taints the true meaning of the flag. A meaning that holds the keys to the doors of pride and heritage to all who have southern blood running through their veins. To be southern people should hold a sense of pride in our hospitality, our grace, and our way of life. There is no reason that we, as southerners, should shed our prideful symbol simply because there are a minority of white idiots out there who think that they are perfect only because they are white. No, instead we should reclaim our symbol and state that we are proud to hold the morals, family ties, manners, and decency that a true southerners possesses. There is nothing more fulfilling to me than to stand in front of a mirror and see more than my reflection. To see a collage of all the things that make me the man that I am today, I am proud to say that the Confederate flag flies high in my heart. Shining in my dialect and my dress, my dreams and my hopes, reminding me to hold my head up when I feel the entire world is bearing down on me, because I have a reason to be proud. There are no quaHfications of color to being southern. All that is required is a love of the land and it's peoples, it's traditions and ideals, and a pride in know­ ing that your heart will always be home, no matter where your feet may carry you. Look at the flag and forget your prejudices and preconceptions, for we are all united as southerners, allow the flag to remind you of that. Flying the confederate flag over state houses has got to stop in America. The United States already has a flag so why separate ourselves by flying the rebel flag. This is my opinion on the issue, and I know some people will not agree. Some will not understand my stance and base their misunderstanding on my skin color. This issue should not be just about race because it effects us all. I believe the confederate flag has a place and that place is museums and history books. I'm not suggesting we forget about the Civil War but let's keep it out of our daily lives. I can't imagine living in South Carolina and seeing it wave under the stars and stripes everyday. The thought is disturbing to me and a lot of other people. People who believe the confederate flag is a symbol of Southern pride and solidarity need to look up these two words in the dictionary. Symbols are very important in our society but symbols that are offensive are rarely used by ma­ ture, intelligent people. For instance, do you think Germany flies the Nazi flag over any of its gov­ ernment buildings? No, they don't. That's just common sense. Germany is np longer divided by a wall so why should they split their people with a flag. • The problem with the Civil War is it has been romanticized by books, televi­ sion and movies. We have all seen the war portrayed as a time when gallant Southern gentlemen rode off to protect their state's rights and their indepen­ dence. Let's think about that for a moment. The only right these men were fighting for was the right to keep slaves. It seems to me that flying the confederate flag over state houses implies it is still about the South against the North. Guess what? The war has been over for more than 300 years. We, as a people, need to grow up and stop thinking the South will rise again. The practice of flying the rebel flag is a slap in the face of equality. The two states which have or are flying the confederate flag are Alabama and South Carolina. The former placed the flag over its state house in 1961. It was not removed until 1993. It took awhile but at least they took it down. The latter state hasn't caught up with Alabama. South Carolina began flyr ing the flag their state house in 1962 as part of the centennial of the Civil War. And you know it is still there today. I recently read a letter in The Appalachian from a South Carolinian that said they just keep forgetting to pass legislation to take the flag down. They have forgotten for 35 years! Talk about selective amnesia. I hate to tell South Caro­ lina but there are no valid excuses for letting the confederate flag wave over see Swastika p. 4 Keep food privatization off-campus; Alright folks, here's the deal. A situation has arisen which could threaten the voice of the student Viewpoint body. If you care about that sort of thing, listen up. The North Carolina General Assembly is study­ by Matt Bielejeski ing the feasibility of privatization of state services Columnist which may include Appalachian Food Services. This is where it gets a little complicated, so pay attention. The General Assembly is planning to advocate privatization of Food Services at Appalachian as well Officials for privatizing companies say that they as other services. Privatization would change the food service industry ownership from state to pri­ have more capital to meet the student's needs. This vate. This method offers a host of franchises under statement may be true, but will they be as coopera­ tive and responsive as Appalachian Food Services has one corporation. Ex: Marriot is the privatized company. They, in been for the past 17 years? That's a chance I hope turn, own Kentucky Fried Chicken, Taco Bell and Appalachian students are not willing to take.

Also, all of the above plans are null and void. Whew. Okay, now that I'm through with all the " information, here's the deal. We need for you people, the students, to write the General Assembly and say that we do not want privatization . I know it takes a lot of time and effort to actually do this, so I pre­ pared the letter for you. Write it like this: To Whom It May Concern, I am a student at Appalachian State University. I DO NOT (make these letters real big) support privatization of our school's food service. I oppose it for these reasons: • citizens in Boone will lose jobs • prices will increase if our school is privatized • the students will lose their voice in saying what needs to be done on campus for food availability • Appalachian Food Services has plans for next se- . mester that I support Please DO NOT privatize our university's food service.

Rally pointless To the editor: I recently attended the press conference held by N.O.W.(National Organization for Women) outside of Justice Hall. I was not, however, there to support them. Their entire argument is based on the fact that this girl was definitely raped by all six men, if not more. Where's the evidence?

These men were not found guilty of rape, judge their punishment? All N.O.W. accomplished :i though.

The other problem that I have with the confed­ erate flag are the negative connotations that follow about the South and its residents. The stereotype that comes to mind is redneck. The media also uses the confederate flag as a symbol of the South. In films it is used to show a character is racist and nine times out of ten he or she is from the South as well. ; When I see these characteristics applied to the South ; it s embarrassing because we all look like ignorant, . racist rednecks from the backwoods. As long as we ; continue to use the confederate flag as a symbol of ; pride we will always be put in these categories. How can we stand behind a flag used by the KKK : as a symbol of their message of hate? Whenever the I Klan has a march or rally, there is always one or more : confederate flags waving around. The confederate • flag causes feelings of anger and injustice and those : will never be separated from the flag. We need to realize the war is not still going on. The South is part of the United States. The opera­ tive word being United. Until the states abandon flying the confederate flag I am afraid we will never be one nation under God. « ; Racist, sexist letter wrong ! To the Editor, | I am writing in response to Rolondo Enoch's j letter. For those of you that didn't read it or didn't j overhear every female on campus complaining about I it, it was entitled "White Girls are Freaky", i. He stated that African American males appar­ ently cannot walk across campus without being ac­ costed by a white girl. He says a black man cannot walk into Savannah Joe's without a hoard of white girls trying to "get with (him)". He says "white girls are down for whatever." Rolando, I won't doubt the validity of your ob­ servations. You saw what you saw, right? It dosen't •matter. What you said didn't offend me. The way you said it did. You characterized an entire sex of an en­ tire race as trying to "get with" another entire sex of another entire race. Your comments are racist and sexist. How can they not be? You catogorized an entire group of people as being the same. It is your kind of attitude that feeds difficulties between the sexes and the races. You are the epitomy of a modern racist. Another thing that bothers me is that Rolando is an SGA Senator. He is on the Student Affairs Committee. His current project is Diversity week, (oops) Appalachian^ Letters to the Editor That's like having David Duke as the Headlined Speaker at the NAACR It just dosen't work. How can someone with such racist and inflam­ matory views work on a project that is designed to promote harmony and understanding between ev­ eryone. It just dosen't make sense. Patrick J. Styles ASU Box 6645 Flag represents pride To the Editor, In response to Sarah Madden's February 18th article on the Confederate Flag issue I would like to say that ignorant people should not pass judgment on "Old Dixie" when they have no idea what they're talking about. To review what some may have failed to learn in their high school American history class, the reason for the Civil War was state's rights, not slavery. sive enough for a judgment be made without rea­ sonable doubt. Not guilty is not a declaration of in­ nocence, but the inability to prove guilt. Therefore, under the same circumstances the alleged victim may be found not guilty in the defamation case. Why do we as students feel we must take sides? This issue seems to be dividing our campus into male or female and black or white. This is an issue of campus safety, which is important to everyone. This case is crucial in establishing how justice should be purveyed on our campus. If some students feel the athletes received spe­ cial treatment in this case, the Judicial Board should provide them with a forum to ask questions pertain­ ing to how they came to their conclusion. (If such a forum was offered I apologize, but there were no advertisements of which I am aware.) I realize the privacy of the individuals in this case is important, even though the athletes names and pictures appeared in both the Watauga Democrat and The Appalachian. This can easily be accomplished by only allow­ ing questions that are related to evidence or infer­ ences made from the evidence. Without this forum there will never be any closure for the students who have concerns, nor will there be a way to see if our University Judicial Board is doing the job we expect them to do. My biggest fear is that future rape victims might hesitate to come forward due to fear of hostility and being placed on trial themselves. Chris Redmond ASU Box 11535 I do not support slavery in any way but do side strongly with the Confederacy because of the prin­ ciple of state s rights. Therefore I find it very insult­ ing for Antonio Roberts to label me a bigot because I side with the Confederacy and would have fought in Lee's army in order to protect state's rights. The symbolism of the Confederate flag for me is not of dislike towards blacks or that they are inferior to me, like Roberts says. For me the symbolism of the Confederate flag is best summed up in a bumper sticker I once saw, "Heritage Not Hate." So Sarah Madden, the next time you decide to write an article for the paper it might be a good idea to interview some people whose answers will have even one bit of relevancy on the issue. Matt Dannals ASU Box 9721 To the Editor, To say the least, this year has been one of the most tumultuous in recent memory hctc at ASU.

Out of each broken arger prof tereotype came a message; not to besense (or »ve the role society has relegated you ect for ot! can bete td hornet to, and take responsibility for yourself and to your family. Called a "choreopoem," the play had "choreopoem," rhythmic feel, reminiscent of beat poetry. A monologue would be joined by another, then another, building in volume and emotion until released in a single sen­ tence causing the audience to clap and cheer. Sometimes humorous, other times realistically haunting, the actors per­ formed flawlessly and garnished a stand­ ing ovation for their effort. Performing the play were, Jimmy Logan, Donald Jones, a junior at Bucknell University and Rahim Williams, from New Orleans. They are members of Liv­ ing the Dream, Inc., a theater group based in Columbus, Ohio, and headed by the author J.H. Chapmyn. Comprised of five different troupes, they travel the country performing at universities, high schools, homeless shelters, churches and prisons. The organization and the play itself has had a profound effect on these young actors. Logan, the newest member of the group, stated, "I was at a crossroads. I could have gone a number of directions and not all of them were into the light. This is an opportunity to initiate change and I grabbed the chance." Donald Jones, who is going back to school next fall, hopes to take this expe­ rience and apply it to post-college life. "I hope to open a theater and produce plays such as this. Theater and media today are corrupt. You can't teach the soul, deal with real problems in just thirty minutes. Theater was originally meant to teach I and inspire." and inspire When an audience member asked what message a person should take away from "Black Man Rising," Lo gan answered, "We can't give these kind of answers. We read the papers [concerning racial tensions on cam­ pus]. Hopefully the play will help to heal racial tensions and inspire oth­ ers to initiate change."

Banff festival c e l e b r a t e s o u t d o o r f i l m s events that go on throughout the week­ end, such as displays of the latest in out­ door equipment, clothing, and adventure travel, and also seminars on current is­ sues. Aimee Yawn Reporter For many people, the mountains hold acertain affinity that is unparalleled. Whether it be for its.beauty, its peace, siits mystery, there is a certain aura that draws people into the wilderness and iwayfrom the ho-hum of everyday life. The Banff Festival of Mountain Films, ' eaded to ASU on March 13, is a collecion of some of the best films made feauring the great outdoors. The filmmak:rs showcased in the Banff Festival have imaged to catch their love and wonder if nature in their work. The Banff Festival of Mountain Films began in Banff, Canada back in 1976 when an audience of around 250 people name together for the weekend to view 10 films. In the 21 years since its begining, festival has grown considerably and f draws a crowd of over 6,000 in Banff lalone. | The Festival is an international comition showcasing films from around 21 iuntries. After the films are reviewed Each year the best of the Banff Festi­ a committee, finalists are chosen and val goes on tour through such countries 'ards are given in six categories. Some as Britain, Europe, Japan, and North the awards include, the best films for 'untain Sports, Mountain Environment, America. This year the tour will be trav­ juntain Culture, People's Choice, and eling to several of the United States. T his will be the first time that the festival has 'Grand Prize. The Canadian Festival also has other ever traveled to North Carolina, and it s a tival possible, such as the Office of Cul­ tural Affairs along with Outdoor Programs, Watauga College, the Leisure Studies As­ sociation, and the Curriculum and Instruc­ tion department. Russel E. Hiatt, an ASU student from San Diego, saw a clip of the Banff Festival and said that the films were very inspirational. Hiatt, an avid outdoorsman himself, said that the intense experiences that are shared with other people when doing outdoor activities comes across in the films. "The films showcase or­ dinary people with extraordi­ nary drives," said Hiatt. Keith W. Bosak, an ASU student from Charlotte, also saw the film clips from the fes­ tival and thought that the films were a great illustration of what people loved about the outdoors and why. Hiatt and Bosak said that it was not just the content of the films, however, that made them great. "It was the actual film­ making and creativity that showed the artists' love for the mountains and the outdoors that made the films spe­ cial," they said. About two and a half hours of the films will be shown here at ASU and will feature films such as, "The Tsaatan -The great opportunity for the ASU and Boone area. Rich Campbell, a coordinator for Outdoor Programs on campus, described the films as having a broad appeal and as the ultimate exhibit of multiculturalism. Campbell was a big facili­ tator in getting the festival at Appala­ chian and is very excited about it com­ ing here. Many organizations on campus came together in order to make the fes­ Reindeer Riders." This film was awarded the Grand Prize and the Best Film oji Mountain Culture Award. It illustrates the life of Bat, the leader of the nomadic Tsaatan people in northern Mongolia, whose assertion of life is that, "nature agrees to give if man only takes what We needs." Some of the other films to be showji include, "The Survivor," a story of neartragedy and miraculous rescue while s£i touring the Alps, and "Mountian Gorilla: A Shattered Kingdom," which wajs awarded the Best Film on Mountain Envi­ ronment and the People's Choice AwartJ, and features the daily activities of wild gorillas in Africa. The Banff Festival of Mountain Films will be held in Farthing Auditorium on March 13 at 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the door and will be $3 for ASU students, faculty and staff, and $5 for all others. For more information, call Outdoor Programs at 262-2475. An added bonus to this spectacular event is that there will be a drawing for prizes sponsored by such companies as Merrell footwear, Quest tents, and Sierra Designs. Boone is very fortunate to have the chance to host the Banff Festival. It is a definite must-see. The clips from the films are inspirational, emotional and will defi­ nitely make you want to discover the out­ doors for yourself.

I Braswell scores 43 in loss to Davidson Jones, Hinton, Davis and Thompson after Appalachian's game with Georgia Southern last week, (photo by Dana Gardner) Forward Melissa Davis, who hails from far-off Coral Springs, Fla., has also earned nothing but praise from her coach. "When you have someone as talented as Melissa, it really puts a stretch on de­ fenses," said Robinson. "She makes ev­ eryone on the floor better." Davis is averaging 11.1 points and seven rebounds per game. Last year Davis was ranked sixth in the nation for field goal percentage. Going into tomorrow's game she is only eight points shy of the 1000 point mark for her career. The final senior on the '96-'97 squad is Meredith Thompson. "Meredith is the total package" said Robinson. "She is the player our team looks to." This 5-11 guard out of Oak Ridge leads the Mountaineers in scoring with an average of 15.9 points per contest, good for second in scoring in the Southern Con­ ference. This senior squad has been through a lot since their freshman year, from the growing pains of sitting the bench after having been a high school star, to the joy and pain that comes from last-sec­ ond shots. "It's been a bumpy ride, but I've grown up through it all," said Jones. "Coach Robinson has helped me grow up and mature and become the player I am today and part of the person I am." "The four of us have all been through it. We've been through it to where we have all sat the bench to going out there and scoring 20 points," said Davis. "The seniors have had this connection...we have this chemistry be­ tween us," said Hinton. Many times in sports, teams and players are inaccessible to their fans. This is not the case with these Mountaineers. Involved with the Basketball Buddies Pro­ gram, an organization which allows el­ ementary school age children to meet with players and get autographs after games, the Mountaineers have found ways of giv­ ing to the community. By serving as posi­ tive role models for children in Boone, the Lady Apps have made a contribution be­ yond the confines of the ASU campus, into the Boone community. Each of the players expressed their sincerest thanks to Robinson and the entire Appalachian coaching staff as well as the fans who have supported them over the years. Davis wanted to thank in par­ ticular the Appalachian Basketball Band for their spirited support over the years. Lady Apps head to tourney on losing streak Lose to UTC and Geogria Southern at home to close regular season Danny Sink Staff Writer The Mountaineers ended their regular season on a disappointing note this past Saturday as they fell in their sec­ ond straight home game. This senior day turned into a nightmare as the Moccasins from UT-Chattanooga put a 71-63 loss into the books. After coming off a hard fought 8378 loss to Georgia Southern on Thursday, the Lady Mountaineers were looking to finish the regular season off with a win. Instead, the Moccasins were able to claim their first road victory of the season and spoil the senior day festivities. The Mountaineers came out look­ ing flat in the first half, missing their first couple of shots. "It got started off ex­ actly like we didn't want it to get started off," said Robinson. The Mountaineers were only able to shoot a little over 35 percent from the field in the first half, a number that plunged even lower in the second period. Yet, at the half the Mountaineers were only down by five, 35-30. The second half started out like a bad horror movie as the Mocs came out with al2-6 run in the first six minutes. The Mountaineers forged ahead, making a run of their own with only 5:53 left in the game, but it was not enough as the clos­ est the Apps got was 5. In the Thursday loss to Georgia Southern three App players scored in double figures; they were Meredith Th­ ompson with 19 points and 12 rebounds for the double-double, Andreia Hinton with 12 points and seven rebounds, and Melissa Davis with 16 points and nine re­ bounds. Leading the Mountaineers on Saturday were Meredith Thompson with 18 points and 10 rebounds for her second straight double-double, and Andreia Hinton racking up a double-double of her own with 17 points and 12 rebounds. The Mountaineers return to ac­ tion tomorrow night in"the first round of the Southern Conference Tournament. All in attendance must pay for a ticket dur­ ing tournament play. Tickets are $3 for students and $5 for adults. Appalachian's Cara Sims brings the ball upcourt against Georgia Southern last Thursday, (photo by Dana Gardner) Junior Braswell led the Moun­ taineers with 43 points and five steals in a near-miss 78-76 loss at Davidson on Saturday night. With the score knotted at a 76-all stalemate, Davidson forward Narcisse Ewodo tapped in the winning shot in the clos­ ing seconds of the game. "I thought we had it won," said Appalachian coach Buzz Peterson after die game. "Up three (points), I thought we were in pretty good shape." With 51 seconds left in the game, Blair Adderly was called for fouling Ewodo on a three point at­ tempt. Ewodo sank all three free throws and tied the score at 76. "All I can really say is that I didn't touch him," said Adderly. "It might have looked that way from the referees' angle, but I didn't touch him." The 43 point performance was BraswelTs last effort at Conference MVE "My hat's off to Braswell for one of the most phenomenal performances in this arena," said Davidson coach Bob McKillop. "Without a doubt he's a prime candidate for player of the year in the conference." The Mountaineers fended off a Davidson lead of 13 points several times in the second half, making the closing minutes of the game interest­ ing. The Mountaineers simply would not die. "They made plays," said McKillop. "Junior makes that steal in the open court, just rips it away from one of our guys and makes a three point play a four point play. That's a big-time play made by a big-time player. That's why we couldn't put them away." With the loss, the Mountain­ eers will find themselves up against the Catamounts of Western Carolina in the Southern Conference Tourna­ ment at 9:30 on Friday night. Western, the second seed in the South, is a team that Appalachian has had a great deal of success against this season. In the first match up, the Mountaineers won in double overtime in Cullowhee 81-76. Later in the season in Boone, the Mountaineers found a way to beat Western again 68-66 on the strength of last second three pointer by Junior Braswell. 'They're (Western Carolina) going to be ready for us, they're going to be fired up. We beat them in two squeakers," said Peterson. Also stepping it up for the Mountaineers was freshman Tyson Patterson, who's numbers have been on the rise as of late. On the night Tyson had eight points, seven assists, and two steals. " That's Tyson's game, taking people off the dribble" Braswell said, adding "1 don't think anybody in this conference, let alone anyone in the nation can stop Tyson off the dribble." The clamps were on Tige Darner, who scored 13 points and grabbed four rebounds. "It didn't re­ ally matter what anybody else did, they kept a man on me," Darner said. Davidson was determined to keep Darner out of the game after the Janu­ ary 20 meeting where Darner hit 8 of 10 three pointers, scoring 30 points. Darner leads the Southern Conference in three point accuracy hitting on 28 of 58 threes on the sea­ son, roughly 43% from the bonusphere. Nearly one-third of all his three-pointers have come against Davidson.

Cliff Appalachian State had sev­ eral games this week, including their first three home games which opened conference play. Wednesday, the week started out well for the Mountaineers as they swept UNCA in a doubleheader 12-4, 7-3 for the first time ever in Asheville, with Dan Stutzman and Chris Buttram as the winning pitchers. The Mountaineers slapped out 17 hits in the first game to aid Stutzman in the win. Appalachian scored three runs in the first, fifth, sixth and seventh innings to give them the 12-4 victory over UNCA. The second game was a bit closer. The Mountaineers took the early lead by scoring three times in the first inning. In the second, Appalachian racked up four more runs, including a home run by Osborne, to take a 7-0 lead.

Jay Konstantaras Assistant News Editor Beth Bliss Staff Writer A press conference held by the Appalachian State University Campus Chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) was held outside of Jus­ tice Residence Hall at 10 a.m. yesterday. According to NOW president Kristin Barrali, NOW members organized the press conference to publicly ask ques­ tions concerning the ruling of a univer­ sity judicial board in the case of an al­ leged assault that occurred in Justice Hall Jan. 19.

SGA backs course exclusion policy A senate bill recommending the implementation of a course exclusion policy was passed by members of the Stu­ grade. Under this system, the grade earned after a student repeats a course will replace the grade originally posted and the student will retain the original number of hours earned. However, Prince said the repeat policy can be harmful to students. Hav­ ing to repeat courses, especially courses not needed for a student's major, could mean that the student will not be able to dent Government Association Tuesday. According to SGA senator Jimmy Prince, one of the bill's authors, under Appalachian's current repeat policy a stu­ dent can repeat up to five courses while enrolled at Appalachian. Courses may be repeated for vari­ ous reasons, including a low or failing graduate in four years, he said. Prince said under the suggested exclusion policy, a student will be allowed to exclude up to five courses during his or her time at Appalachian. A grade would remain on a student's academic transcript, but would not be added to his or her cumulative GPA Beth Bliss Staff Writer No kissin1 babies here...

The workshop is to help people understand how hard it is for Congress to balance the budget each year, (photo by Marvin Evans). and would not be counted in the total number of hours earned by the student Prince said. Prince said this option is espe­ cially feasible for students who take classes in one major and do poorly in those classes. If a student wanted to attempt a major in another college, he or she would not need to repeat courses he or she may not need. Rather, under the exclusion policy a student could exclude those courses. "(This) is an option for people who don't need (a) class to begin with," Prince said. "They had the academic ex­ posure by sitting through the class." When asked if the exclusion policy could be used to artificially enhance a student's grade point average, Prince said this could be done. For example, a student with ex­ tra credit hours could feasibly exclude up to five courses before graduation in order to boost his or her overall GPA, Prince said. However, Prince said the exclu­ sion policy probably could not be used to "beat the system" due to the fact that 122 semester hours are required for gradua­ tion. Additionally, Prince said the ex­ clusion policy would be offered only to students during their undergraduate years. Students could not exclude courses from their transcripts after when apply­ ing for graduate programs after gradua­ tion.

"Hopefully the public will be aware of the answers so everything is very open from the beginning." • Barrali said members of the administration were invited to attend the press conference, but that some members declined so they would not "step on the toes" of NOW members during their conference. Several members of the media, including newspaper re­ porters and television news crews, .were invited and were present at the conference. Barrali said the confer­ ence was held at Justice Hall be­ cause the alleged incident oc­ curred there. Barrali said NOW did not intend to target the hall or any of its residents. The conference was orga­ nized because it is in the NOW mission statement that members of the group must serve as advocates for women, Barrali said. When asked what she and other members of NOW wished to accomplish, Barrali said she wants the university to punish rapists. Although the university has taken action to educate students about safety and awareness, Barrali said this is not enough. "Rapists need to be pun­ ished, and I don't think things will get better until that happens," she said. NOW vice president Holly Mullins began the conference by presenting the list of questions from NOW members. According to a press re­ lease from NOW, the questions raised by NOW "(concern) ASU policy and procedure followed af­ ter a student has reported a sexual assault." Following the reading of these questions, a press release was read by Pam Williamson, a representative from the Boone Area Chapter of NOW The press release read by Williamson said the assault case is a classic example of the victim be­ ing blamed for being a victim, and that only Chancellor Frank Borkowski had the power to in­ crease the punishments of the al­ leged perpetrators in this incident. Several residents and staff members of Justice Hall were present at the press conference. Although Justice Hall staff could not comment on the press conference, many residents ex­ pressed an opinion that Justice Hall has been made into a target. "Nobody in (Justice Hall) condones what happened," said junior Chris Gravlee, who has lived in Justice since his freshman year. "It was wrong (and) it shouldn't have happened, but it's not like we're having a party for this later on tonight. It's ridiculous." Task force convenes first meeting ASU News Bureau Housing policies, alcohol and drug use, and safety and se: curity are among the issues the Task Force on Student Life at Ap­ palachian State University is exam­ ining. The task force held its first meeting Feb. 14. It was convened by Chancellor Francis Borkowski following allegations of sexual as­ sault against two students off cam­ pus and a reported assault on cam­ pus. "I have been dismayed and disappointed with a number of activities that have come to my attention over the past year," Borkowski told members. "These actions are regrettable because we have so many wonderful students here." "But we have a number (of students) who have not learned to draw the line between what is respectable, civil and decent be­ havior and what is unacceptable," Borkowski said. The task force is cochaired by Marva McKinnon, an attorney and member of the Board of Trustees, and Brad Reid, ASU director of housing and student life. Others on the 18-member task force are undergraduate and graduate student leaders, faculty members, parents and trustees. Borkowski urged task force members to look at univer­ sity policies and student practices regarding a variety of issues so the university can better prepare stu­ dents to be civil and respectful members of society. "That's part of our chal­ lenge," Borkowski said. "That's what a university is about." The task force will also look at issues raised and recom­ mendations made by ASU students who participated in the campuswide teach-ins held Feb. 4. The teach-ins addressed students' rights, responsibilities and respect. "We will make construc­ tive changes in the environment here, work to enhance and in­ crease student awareness so they understand the ramifications of their actions and lessen the chance of these actions occurring again," Borkowski said. "I have great confidence in the task force and I look forward to hearing its report," he added. "Certain activities are a threat to .the well-being of our campus com­ munity, an attront to eacn anu ev­ ery member of the student body," Borkowski said.

That way, every entering student can be educated about issues such as underage alcohol use and drug abuse. A: (This question was answered by Provost Harvey Durham) s0™ wi,M ^member, the original proposal of the Task Force on p. Educational Goals called for making the Freshman Seminar a required course. However, to do so while keeping Core Curriculum requirements to a reasonable number of total credit hours would have made it necessarv to reduce requirements in some other academic area of the Core In view of this the consensus among our faculty was that we should do everything possible to promote enrollment in the Freshman Seminar (class) but offer it on an elective basis. Precisely because it encourages entering students to think construc­ tively about everything from personal learning styles to the perils of sexu­ ally transmitted diseases, the Freshman Seminar is one of the most valu­ able mechanisms we have for introducing people to the opportunities and challenges that constitute the college experience. This program has done an excellent job in the past of responding to current campus issues. Dr. Rennie Brantz, the director of the program, intends to see that it intensifies its focus on substance abuse, personal safety and other concerns that bear upon the events which have troubled all of us so deeply over the past few months. * 2 Liter Diet Pepsi Or Pepsi Cola In CHI Or Water Chicken Of The Sea Honey Nut Tuna Cheerios Cil die cne Have a concern or question about a campus issue?

Not many people realize the intricacies of the Hanna-Barbera masterpiece about a dog that solves crimes and talks. I brought up the fact that Daphne was the first girl I ever had a crush on, and many guys agreed. The flaming red hair, the legs, the short skirt. Wow. When I was five, I knew that Daphne was the girl for me. Then I began to notice something when I was older, surfing through the channels and stop­ ping on the Cartoon Network Whenever the gang was searching some bombed out mine shaft or a haunted house that was 300 years old, they split up into groups. Thelma, Shaggy and Scooby went one way (the direction that the monster was always in), and Fred and Daphne (my girl) went the other way. For some reason, the way that Fred and Daphne went usually led back to the Mystery Machine. I don't think it's any mystery what was going on in that van. If you watch carefully, the only time you'll see Fred not smiling is when the whole gang is being chased by some demon-spawn. If I had realized the amount of sex that was hap­ pening right before my eyes in my formative years, I would have flipped out (well, okay not really. I just would have watched the show every day, hoping to catch a glimpse of something I wasn't supposed to see). Now Fred was the leader of the gang and Daphne was his whore. What about Thelma? Thelma was quite the mystery girl. She was the member of the gang who put all the clues together to realize some obvious truth about the case they were working on. Of course, whenever she and Shag and Scooby were looking for the monster, she'd lose her glasses five seconds before the Creature from the Black La­ goon came chasing after them. Thelma was a valuable member of the team, con­ sidering Fred and Daphne didn't do much but have fun in the Mystery Machine. Shaggy and Scooby are my personal faves. In Viewpoint by Matt Bielejeski Columnist the course of our discussion, someone pointed out that the Shaggy voice was Casey Kasem. I am not kidding you. Listen to the Top 40 countdown and see if you can't hear the same voice that talks about the Macarena saying, "Zoinks!" Shaggy also had an amazing fashion sense. Al­ though what he was wearing on the show was not "in" in the 80's, you can see his style displayed on guys everywhere. Big (sometimes even green) pants that swoosh when you walk? Yup. Medium length hair that gets in your eyes and looks like a badger tried to make its bed there? Uh-huh. Shaggy was old school before old school was cool. Scooby was just The Man (or The Dog). He even had the show named after him. Whenever Fred wanted Scooby to do something, he would offer him a variety of bribes (a new yacht, a summer home, one night with Daphne, etc.). These bribes never got him to do anything, except for the last one: the Scooby Snack. Now let's think about this, folks. Why would a dog who has his own snack named after him need to be hanging around those losers? If he has his own brand of doggy treats, he should be riding in a limo with Playmate Centerfolds hang­ ing off his every paw. But no, he's looking for ghosts and solving mysteries. Go figure. The strange and mysterious Scooby Snack was never actually shown as more than some brownishred hunk of doggy treat (I'm not even sure we saw that much). I would like to send one of them to a scientific lab to have it analyzed. I truly believe that the scien­ tists would discover THC (yes, the mind-altering chemical in marijuana) in those little treats. Why did Scooby and Shaggy always make those huge Scooby Sandwiches that were as tall as the Sears Tower? How quick can you say, "munchies?" Oh yes, they were high as kites. Did you ever notice how red Shaggy*s eyes always were? Yup, that's what I thought. Or the way he al­ ways walked along, real slow-like, occasionally bump­ ing into the wall? Uh-huh. I don't know what effects THC has on dogs, but from the way Scooby talked and sounded, he was having to keep the drool from slopping all over his face (another THC side-effect). To learn other ef fects on canines, maybe I'll help my cocker spaniel smoke a joint. The one thing that always bugged me about the show was the predictability of the plot. Even when I was five, I could predict each episode with amazing accuracy. They went a little something like this: • someone would come and tell the gang about a strange happening in some place • the gang would go and investigate, splitting up into groups • Thelma would lose her glasses (the cue for the monster to show up) • Shaggy, Scooby and Thelma would run from the monster • they would bump into Fred and Daphne (out for some fresh air and a cigarette) • the whole gang devised a plan, bribing Scooby with a Scooby Snack to act as a diversion • they caught the monster, the police showed up, and • Fred pulls off the mask of the beast, revealing that it was only Old Man X, trying to scare off people and "he would have got away with it too, if it wasn't for those pesky kids." That's pretty much the way it went. However, 1 can't really be mad at one of the greatest cartoons ever to hold my attention span on a Saturday morning. Now I hope you can watch Scooby Doo with your eyes fully opened to the subtle intricacies of this fine cartoon. Letters to the Editor Coverage on rape flawed Letter to the Editor, First of all we must understand that an opinion is just that, an opinion. In my opinion I believe you, the editor- in-chief, should have kept some of those irrelevant comments to yourself. Appalachian is not a planet of its own, everyone is innocent until proven guilty. You believe that your paper was being fair when they printed the word "alleged." Until criminal charges are pressed and the accused are proven guilty, the crime will remain alleged until that time; there­ fore you have no authority to charge the accused as guilty. Obviously your mentality is no better than the accused. Actually this case had more publicity and the accused received a harsh punishment compared to the fraternity case. Your paper did not respond to that case or even respond to the punishment that they received. What was your mentality on that situ­ ation? Why were the two cases treated differently? I hope we all agree that a wrong is a wrong (alleged or proven), but why treat this case differently? Therefore, before you accuse these guys as guilty, you need to get the facts. We are supposed to be able to read the newspaper and believe what is said, but for the last two weeks you have not gone into this case with a clear head. You found these guys guilty from the start, and that's not fair to them or their families. Can you please try to have an open mind and stop accusing, because you have upset a lot of people. Jeneen Madden ASU Box 12032 Don't let emotions cloud judgement Letter to the Editor, I would like to take this time to point out some problems I have with your presentation of the pun­ ishments handed down last week in the alleged sexual assault case ("Rape case decision should anger com­ munity," 2/11/97). First of all, you said, "All I could think about was the fact that The Appalachian had been so fair to the accused, writing 'alleged' in headlines and stories about the case." This isn't being fair, Ms. Urruela. This is the law, not to mention journalistic responsi­ bility. There's this little concept we use in America called "innocent until proven guilty," which you may have heard of. You have to write "alleged" in cases like this; to leave that out would be slanderous. "There are really only seven people who know what happened in the residence hall room." This is correct, and yet, for the first half of your editorial, you act as if you have reason to be outraged over the verdict. "Nobody besides those people can truly say if someone was raped." And yet, you put the word "rape" in the headline of this particular editorial, despite the fact that no criminal rape charges were even filed with the police department! "So, when we get angry about the situation, do we process our emotional response intelligently?" Well, some of us do, but apparently you don't. You should have asked yourself this question before you got halfway through your editorial. I realize that an editorial is basically an opinion, and you are entitled to print it. However, this does not absolve you of having to think logically, or of forgetting your journalistic responsibility to all of those involved, and not just to the "victim." Jeremy Hefner Box 13769 Innocent until proven guilty Letter to the Editor, There are several things in the Feb. 11 issue that are bothering us. We too, are "mad as hell," as Ms. Urruela says she is. However, our anger is not for the same reasons. The first issue we have is about the article on the front page, written by Renee Cagle. Her first sen­ tence implies that the one male student that has been suspended is more guilty of this assault. This is not the case. The men that were found guilty of any charge were all found equally guilty. One of the men was already on probation (from our understanding, nothing relating to any type of harmful offense), and was therefore suspended. Now, we recognize that Ms. Urruela was only stat­ ing her opinion and that she has every right to that opinion. However, we feel that she should be wary of contradicting herself. Someone in her position should be able to recognize simple concepts like the importance of neutrality of the press. Can she de­ fine "so fair"? Either something is fair or it is not. There is no middle ground where fairness is concerned. Espe­ cially in the position of a newspaper. Our understand­ ing is that you, as journalists, are to present the facts to the public. Fair or not, the people have a right to know. As Ms. Urruela stated, "there are really only seven people who know what happened in the residence hall room," and she is not one of them. So how can she state that being so fair to the accused includes printing the word "alleged?" Even to this point, the rape is still alleged. The charges that the accused were facing were lewd, in­ decent or obscene conduct charges and forcible or non-forcible sex offenses. No criminal rape charges have been filed, and the men accused were found not guilty of forcible 05 non-forcible sex offenses.

Anytime anyone is placed in such a position, whether intentional or not, their comments are often taken to be the sentiments of the administration and the stu­ dent body in general. I am sure I am not alone when I speak of how greatly offended I was by the obviously uninformed opinion Ms. Urruela gave in the February 11 edition of the The Appalachian. On the front page of the very same newspaper that Vanessa writes for it was clearly stated that the young men involved in the alleged rape case were not found guilty of forcible or non-forcible sexual assault, therefore how is it that she saw fit to continually speak in such a derogatory way of them? Vanessa proceeded to say that she does not want people who assault women walking around on this campus, well what about the women walking around this campus falsely accusing young men of violent crimes and putting their reputations as well as their futures on the line? I personally feel that people should look less harshly on the young men and begin to take a closer look at the young women. I do agree with Vanessa on one part, I was also "mad as hell" at the punishments handed down by the University Board. I fail to understand why the young woman involved was not also punished for "lewd, indecent or obscene conduct." Obviously, her conduct was more lewd and inde­ cent than anyone, if she in fact was not raped or sexu­ ally assaulted. It is truly a sad time when the highest ranking official of a college newspaper can make slan­ derous remarks about other students without there being any repercussions. I think it is past the time for everyone to stop look­ ing at the young men and judging them because of what they may have participated in and start look­ ing at the young woman for what she did participate in.

In response to the to create awareness about eating jrders, ten different campus organiza3lis will be sponsoring an Eating DisorAwareness Week starting this Mon- Denise Glassman, a counselor in the Counseling Center and the chair of the newly developed Eating Disorders Task Force, says that the purpose of this week is to "turn up the volume" and increase awareness about eating disorders. "Eating disorders are often considered to be a secret, which only adds to the feel­ ing of loneliness that often begins the dis­ order. The increased feeling of loneliness only adds to the problem," says Glassman. She says she hopes that this week will help to get some of the issues out in the open and talked about. Glassman stresses that eating disor­ ders are only signs of much deeper emo­ tional problems. Focusing on food is of­ ten an outlet for emotional pain that vic­ tims don't know how to cope with. The awareness week will start on Monday at 12 p.m. in the New River Room with an "Uncle Sigmund" lecture entitled "How not to Crash Diet into a Bikini."

Glassman stresses that eating disor­ ders are nothing to be ashamed of. She says, "Just go to someone who you know will listen and talk about it". Glassman also stresses that students can go to Counseling Services, the Wellness Center, the Medical Center or a coach if they know they have a problem. There is also a group which meets on Tues­ days from 3:30 to 5:00 in the counseling Center to discuss eating disorders and to help each other. Considering that 8 million Americans suffer from Anorexia or Bulimia, the topic of eating disorders would seem to be a pressing subject, especially during a time in students lives when we are barraged with new emotions and experiences. Hopefully, this week of awareness will help us to learn how to deal with life without damaging ourselves in the process. Eastwood, Hackman are strong, but no Absolute Power \ ~ Jason Foster Reporter Absolute Power Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman Over the past five decades, Clint Eastwood has become one of the most respected actor/directors in Hollywood. Eastwood's latest project as pro­ ducer/director is the political suspense drama Absolute Power. The film centers around an aging pro­ fessional thief/master of disguise and in­ trigue, Luther Whitney (played by Eastwood), who secretly witnesses a to­ me murder involving the young wife of out of the wealthiest men in the country, liter Sullivan (E. G. Marshall) and his protg Alan Richmond (Gene Hackman), who are having an affair. The situ­ ation is unique because Richmond also happens to be the current President of the United States. Naturally, a huge cover-up is put into place with the help of the President's Chief of Staff, Gloria Russell (Judy Davis) and two hard-nosed Secret Service agents, Bill Burton (Scott Glenn) and Tim Collin (Dennis Haysbert). When it is discovered that Luther Whitney was a witness to the crime, the focus of the cover-up shifts to putting the blame on him. Screenwriter William Goldman does a good job of making the story cinematically viable, but in the process turns it into a "smart" film, meaning that some things aren't explained clearly, and leaving the viewers to think for themselves. Elements that appear to be possible plot holes or paradoxes might not be that at all, but just parts that you have to figure out for your­ self: no spoon-feeding. The acting performances here are first rate. Eastwood gives a performance filled with his usual mannerisms and soft-spo­ ken voice, which is always what makes his characters who they are. Gene Hackman gives another great performance as an intelligent but evil antihero, a character he's gotten a good grasp on. Hackman is always convincing, no matter what the role. Members of the supporting cast also perform well. Ed Harris gives his usual strong performance, this time as the Wash­ ington Homicide detective in charge of the investigation. Downtown growth good for Boone Jeff Simms Reporter Ask ten people what they like about pone, and chances are that nine of them would mention something about its quaint, hometown feel. That atmosphere, which is probably nost well defined by the downtown area ® King Street, is what the Downtown Boone Development Association (DBDA) works to preserve, while still fostering healthy economic growth and expansion. The past year has seen nine new busi­ nesses start up, six existing businesses «pand and the beginning of a major con­ struction site with the new public library, litis growth is all facilitated by the DgDA's membership in the North Carolina Mainstreet Program. According to Boone Downtown Co­ ordinator Kaye Edmisten, the Mainstreet fogram includes 37 N.C. cities in which property owners, business owners and Wntown employees work to reestablish fowntown areas as the "heart of the com­ munity." As for how any of this affects Boone, ^misten said that the N.C. Mainstreet ^ogram has allocated $12,000 to our '°wn for a streetscape plan to take place fos spring. The plan would bring in architects to miprove the appearance of Boone's down°wn, with areas to be dealt with, includ­ ing lighting, entryways, pedestrian access and the overall appearance of downtown. Edmisten added that the goal of streetscape would be to "make definite improvements in the appearance of down­ town," while still "preserving the histori­ cal integrity and fabric of downtowns." The question that invariably arises is whether Boone can continue to grow in this fashion and still maintain its small­ town feel. Edmisten said that property owners and merchants are asked to make maximum usage of their space in order to minimize new construction. She alluded to the Wilcox Emporium space as an ex­ ample. After the Wilcox people took over that building from its previous occupants, rather than tearing the building down, they were able to use the existing space, and incorporate over 160 retail outlets into that one building. Not only did the Wilcox Emporium open with no new construction necessary, but it also made an immediate economic impact, as the number of people employed in that building had tripled from its previ­ ous figure. Bob Mowery, owner of King Street's Our Daily Bread and chairman of the DBDA, also welcomes downtown growth as beneficial to all, saying, "More people coming downtown brings more stability to downtown merchants." He added, "A stable (economic) envi­ ronment will ultimately attract more people." Group brings deficit concerns to Boone Amy Foster Staff Writer "Congratulations! You have just been 'Jected to Congress!" said Tom Rogers, ^ad of The Concord Coalition, to a group °f Watauga county residents. Balancing the federal budget is no ^ task, and a group of residents that J fathered at the Watauga County AgriculTxral Conference Center, Monday night, found that out. The workshop, Debtbusters 2002, was invented in 1992 by The Concord Coalition, which is a nonpartisan group. The goal of the workshop was to help people understand how difficult it is for Congress to try to balance the budget each year. Every person who registered to par­ ticipate had a voice in the decision mak­ ing, and voice their opinions they did. Walking by each table, people let one an­ other know how they felt on issues such as health care, transportation, education, See Deficit page 8 The other performances all fall into Ifct the respectable job category. E. G. Marshall is adequate as Walter Sullivan, almost making you feel the character's pain. The performances by Judy Davis and Dennis Haysbert are also only semiimpressive. Scott Glenn gives his usual perfor­ mance of a fairly soft-spoken, but intelli­ gent character. Its kind of funny, the char­ acters Glenn plays are usually people who could have a lot to say, but only speaks (with a low-toned voice) when spoken to, or to reassure someone that something is or isn't going to happen (i.e.-"Don't worry. Everything will be okay."). Glenn can be a great actor, as he is in The Right Stuff (1983), but his roles do become virtually the same after a while. The technical aspects of the film all fit together nicely. The editing is welldone, allowing the film to flow fairly well and the cinematography, music, and sound also do their part to create the right mood. Eastwood is a good director, and this film is an example of his talent. Political thrillers can easily be over the top and cheesy. Fortunately, this one is not. (Absolute Power is now playing at Litchfield Theaters.) 1 • Pay your money, take your chances Jeff Sprouse Staff Writer The nickel ante poker games with friends aren't as fun as they used to be. You lost too much money with your bookie, or your bookie went bust, or you can't understand what an over under means or you don't know what a bookie is. Boone has no Off-Track Betting, so you can't play the ponies. You can't afford a trip up to Atlantic City or Las Vegas, and if you went there you wouldn't know how to play any of the games. If you, like me, get bit by the gam­ bling bug every once in a while, there is no legal outlet in Boone. Fortunately, there is something you can do. Drive three hours south to the Cherokee Indian Res­ ervation, nestled at the mouth of Smoky Mountains National Park. Located at the far edge of a bustling tourist town, where a drive down the main drag gives the tourist multiple opportuni­ ties to buy "genuine" Indian souvenirs, there is a large, aluminum sided ware­ house that houses the Tribal Casino. This is the temporary sight while mega-resort company, Harrah's, builds a new one. There is ample parking and, conve­ niently, three large hotels are within a short walk. Buses of snow-birds and church groups line up at the door, disgorg­ ing grandmas and grandpas of their pock­ ets full of change. While the outer appearance is some­ what drab, wait until you get inside. It too is drab. This is not Atlantic City. There are no waitresses bringing drinks to gam­ blers. In fact, no alcohol is served on the premises. Cigarette smoking is allowed, and the room hangs heavy with clouds of smoke. The clings and jangles and beeps of video poker, slots and blackjack fill the air. Cherokee is light on the amenities, but you sure can gamble. There is something for all. If you are a high or low or holy roller, you can be accommodated. While crowded on the weekends, if you go dur­ ing the week you are sure to find a spot at your favorite game. My favorite game happens to be black­ jack. On my first trip down, however, I was somewhat disappointed. In Atlantic City or Vegas or on a Riverboat in numer­ ous places along the Mississippi, a real live flesh and blood person deals the cards. When you lose, there is a face to blame. Plus, you can be relatively sure there is no cheating, because you actually see the cards being shuffled and dealt. At Cherokee, there are blackjack tables where four or five people can sit, but the dealer is the computer, manifested in the form of a computer monitor above the table. The "cards" are dealt to each individual's little monitor. You do not see a shuffle. If you want a hit or want to stay, you press a button. The subdeties of hand signals are obsolete. One must rest their faith in the hands of those who pro­ grammed the machine. And if you should lose, as I usually do at Cherokee, you can't glare at the com­ puter, and instead have to gripe to the old woman with a cigarette dangling from her mouth that is sitting next to you. If you're one of the lucky few who actually wins money, there are plenty of opportunities to spend it in the area. Just take a scenic drive through Great Smoky Mountains National Park and on the other side is Gatiinburg, Tennessee, a favorite spot for honeymooners, and home of Ripley's Believe or Not and the Lee Green­ wood Museum. Or head on over to Ghost Town in Maggie Valley or spend the day in Dollywood. Just remember that gambling is sup­ posed to be fun. Bet with your head, not over it. Tonight the band Grinch from New­ ark, DE will play two rockin' sets of eclec­ tic rock at Klondike Cafe. They are pre­ paring for the national release of their second album on Attic Records, a Phila­ delphia indie label. Recently several members left the band and were replaced by brothers Jamie Kuhlman on drums and Andy Kuhlman on bass. Scott Alexander and Steve Bailey on guitars share vocals with Scott Forsyth on keyboard. Grinch's music is now described as jazz, folk, punk, polka and metal fused together. Similarities between the Doors, They Might Be Giants and Black Sabbath can also be heard. Grinch will be playing at the Klondike starting at 10:00 tonight. They will also be performing on Friday.

Between Wendy's & Hampton Inn We DELIVER Fri. Feb. 21 9-12 pm iJ (a) Tradewinds Coffehouse �The Appalachian 18 February 1997 Sports Apps win fourth in a row over Bulldogs 74-63 ^ Justin Griffin Assistant Sports Editor The Mountaineers won their final an# at home, defeating The Citadel 74«in Varsity Gym Monday night. "This ,-as a big win for the seniors," said fresh­ en forward Terrence Tyler after the ^e. "I've really enjoyed playing with hem this year." With their fourth consecutive win, je Mountaineers secured third place in & North Division of the Southern Conierence, avoiding the play-in game in the jnference tournament. "That's been a goal, not to finish tarth and have to play in that extra game the tournament," said Coach Buzz Peterson of the Mountaineers, whose jam's conference record is at 8-5 and Overall record is 13-12. "We'll be playing Davidson for second place Saturday night iihe final regular season game). Overall jings are really jelling for us." The winning streak for the Mounaineers is their biggest streak of the year, md marks the first time since the 1991-92 teason that Appalachian has won four -ontests in row. This is also the first time since December 5, that the team has been iDove .500. In the first half the Mountaineers led by as many as 17 points and staved off The Citadel's 28-12 run in the second half, putting the game away in the later stages. "It was a pretty sloppy on our part in the second half, and The Citadel was a lot more aggressive, but a win is a win for us," Peterson said. The Mountaineers as of late have trashed the set offense in favor of an of­ fense based on pressure defense. "We're pressing a lot and Coach said the half court sets were out the window," said freshman point guard Tyson Patterson, who dished out eight assists, grabbed seven rebounds and had three steals on the night. "It's good to see Tyson have the assists and he had the big steals also. He ms very aggressive. I've got on him at ! m, but I have to remember he's just a f kshman. He's really helped us," said J feerson. Junior Braswell, in his final home Ifame as a Mountaineer, chipped in 22 points. "We knew we had to stop him to win," said Bulldog Coach Pat Dennis. "We didn't affect him at all." "And Junior. I wish he was an underclassman. I keep praising him. I hope he's considered for player of the year. His play has been huge for us," Peterson remarked. "It was nice for us to be able to get control of this one early, and for me and Jeremy (Blocker, the Mountaineers' other senior) to go out on a good note," Braswell said. "We've got some momen­ tum going, and that's what you want this close to tournament. We're playing the way we've been capable of playing all sea­ son." Also capitalizing on the more ag­ gressive pressing style the Mountaineers have adopted was Kareem Livingston, who led all scorers with 24 points and seven rebounds. The Citadel was also generous defensively, allowing the Mountaineers to shoot 50% in the first half and 58% in the second. "We didn't play well defensively at all" said Dennis at the game's end. The Mountaineers took control of the game early when Tige Darner hit two consecutive threes in the first half giving them a 12-point lead and striking the first blow; the next strike toward The Citadel came when the Bulldog bench was hit with a technical foul later in the first half for some choice remarks that Dennis made about the officiating crew. Appalachian's biggest lead came in the opening series of the second half when Braswell stole the ball and dunked, giving the Mountaineers a 41-22 lead. Leading the Bulldogs with 19 points was Jamie Jenkins, who sparked a rally in second half. Jenkin's three-point play with 11:15 left in the game closed the gap to 53-48. But the Bulldogs failed to hit the next shot after forcing another Mountaineer turnover, and lost the mo­ mentum. Slamming the door shut for The Citadel was Braswell, who answered the Bulldog run with seven straight points. The Mountaineers went on to take a 7459 lead and cruise to the win. The crowd was also a factor, giv­ ing the Mountaineers a needed lift in the crucial parts of the second half. "We started getting a lot more crowd support here at the end of the season," said Livingston after the game. "It was good to send the fans off on a good note." The Mountaineers will close out their regular season at Davidson on Sat­ urday night. Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m. Blair Adderly goes up for a slam that didn't count because of a traveling violation in Monday's game against The Citadel, (photo by Dana Gardner) Men's Basketball Standings Could there be March Madness for the Mountaineers? Mike Daniels Sports Editor sports commentary As spring break approaches, and college students across the country get ready for a trip to some exotic tropi­ cal destination, college basketball teams, including the one here at Appalachian, are turning their level of play up a notch in hopes of earning a berth to that su­ preme spectacle of the sporting world, the NCAA tourna­ ment. To me, and millions of other sports fans, the "big dance" is the most exciting post-season in sports in what is the most exciting sport to watch, col­ lege basketball, lust look at what happened last week when the first, sec­ ond and third ranked teams in the coun­ try all lost in a two-day span. This is not unusual in college basketball, where rabid fans in noisy little buildings can have more of an ef­ fect on a visiting giants than David's stones did against the Goliath. This is the time of year when every team begins to feel the tourna­ ment fever that is even more conducive to upsets and exciting finishes. Those of you out there who attended the game against Western Carolina at Varsity Gym­ nasium two weekends ago know what I mean. For the first time in a long time Appalachian State is a serious contender to make the tournament. Honest. The team has already guaran­ teed itself at least a third place finish in the North Division, meaning that they will not have to play a first round game in Greensboro on the 27th. What it all comes down to for the Mountaineers is how they do against Davidson this weekend. The winner of this game will finish in sec­ ond place in the North Division and have to face the third place team from the South Division, probably The Cita­ del or Georgia Southern in their opener. If the Apps lose to Davidson and finish the season in third place in their division they would play the sec­ ond seed from the South, probably Western Carolina, in their opener. Also the Mountaineers would get the added bonus of be­ ing in the same half of the bracket with Marshall, their big­ gest rival and a team they proved they can handle when they ran wild on them two weeks ago in Boone. As Junior Braswell said after the Cita­ del game a few days ago when I asked him whether the team would be more motivated playing against Marshall, who they beat 77-69, or TennesseeChattanooga, who they lost to in their only meeting, "Nothing gets this team more motivated than playing Marshall." Although its been 18 years since the Mountaineers, then under the guidance of Coach Bobby Cremmins, lost to Louisiana State in their first, and last, NCAA tournament appearance, that doesn't mean that it can't happen again. There's one spot in the tourna­ ment already reserved for a team from this conference. Whoever wins the "I feel like we can beat anybody in the conference right now."

With 18 players gone from last year's team that went 27-19, this year is going to be a rebuilding season. There have been numerous changes at nearly all the positions, with only 11 returning players and 12 freshman coming in this year. Youth is going to be the key word this season for the Moun­ taineers. Coach Jim Morris, who is in his 24th season at Appalachian, is planning for a four man pitching rotation this sea­ son. Seniors Dan Stutzman and Norm Vest will provide the staff with experience and leadership while junior Chris Buttram will contribute heavily to the outcome of the season. Rounding out the rotation will be freshman Andy Cheek. After an illustrious high school career where Cheek found himself named top newcomer by Baseball America maga­ zine during the preseason, Cheek was selected as an 18th round draft choice of the Baltimore Orioles but ended up com­ ing to Appalachian instead. "The offer wasn't enough to skip college," Cheek mentioned. Cheek later explained he wanted to get the college experience. called for Appalachian to finish seventh in the conference. In recent action, the Mountain­ eers came out of a doubleheader in Greensboro over the Valentines Day week­ end even, dropping a game to UNCGreensboro, 5-6 and giving North Caro­ lina A&T a 10-3 pounding. Snow, ice and rain prohibited play last Saturday in Greensboro so the Apps were forced to play a double-header on Sunday. In the first game against North Carolina A&T, Andy Cheek struck out four batters, en route to recording his first col­ legiate victory, leading the Mountaineers past the Aggies of North Carolina A&T. Cliff Cameron tied an ASU single game record with three doubles. The second game was a little bit closer as the Mountaineers' fate was not decided until the ninth inning. UNCG scored two runs with two outs in the bot­ tom of the ninth. The loss brought Appalachian's record to 2-3 on the sea­ son. Next up for the Mountaineers will be a game against UNC Asheville at Watauga High School. The Mountaineers will find themselves playing in a lot of strange places this year since their old home, Lackey Field, is currently being transformed into the site for the new Ap­ palachian Convocation Center. The Mountaineers will play home games at Watauga High School, Hickory, and other for the Southern Conference champion­ places in the area where they can find a ship. However, Baseball America has dry field. Last year, Stutzman lead the team's pitchers with a 5-1 record and a 2.24 ERA with 64.1 innings pitched. Stephen Fisher also looks strong for this year's team. Last season, he was second on the team with a 4.20 ERA and a 3-0 record. As a junior, Vest was used as a utility pitcher, coming in whenever the Mountaineers found themselves in a pinch. Vest compiled a team high three saves and a shutout while finishing with a 5-5 record and a 4.85 ERA. Vest also led the Mountaineers in innings pitched with 78. At the catching position, there's a toss-up with only a freshman and two sophomores to choose from. None of the candidates have college catching experi­ ence. The only two catchers that had play­ ing time last year have departed. One graduated and the other, a junior, signed with the Cincinnati Reds. So far, Patrick Flhyne and Justin Smith been making the calls behind the plate. In the infield, Brett Berrier has returned this year at second base. He was second on the team in batting average last year, hitting .367. Rounding out the rest of the in­ field will be sophomore John Anderson at first base, freshman Travis Pitman at shortstop and Cliff Cameron at third. Cheek said that the Apps have a �The Appalachian you are interested in writing sports for The Appalach, Justin at 262-6233 or come by the Student Publicatio time during the week.

Residence Life decides to Glover speaks on Confederate flag issue split up football team in fall Sarah Madden Reporter What does the Confederate flag mean to you? On Feb. 13, Sen. Maggie Glover, D-SC, spoke in I.G. Greer Auditorium. Glover addressed the significance of the Confederate flag and demanded that the public be inspired by Harriet Tubman, Malcolm X, Zora Neale Hurston, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Frederick Douglass. Glover encourages everyone to speak out and tell the truth about history in order to secure rights. The Confederate flag was placed on the capital building in South Carolina in 1962 as a slap in the face of the civil rights movement. That flag, in addition to four others, remains flying on the pre­ mises today. There is much controversy concerning the symbolism of the flag. Many point to the flag as a token of Southern pride, heritage and reverence for those who fought for the country. Oth­ ers see the flag as an obvious affront to their dignity. Kim Willis, an ASU stu­ dent, put it this way, "If you're going trickor-treating and you see the Confederate flag in the window, you don't go in that Vanessa Urruela Editor-in-Chief house. You go the other way." Glover posed the question, "How Beginning in the fall of next year, the many times does the losing side get to wave their flag?"

"When I see the Confederate flag, I think of slavery and of the South trying to keep slavery in place. The war's over. It's not anything you should glorify.

"I guess we'll just have to wait and see if it is a good idea," said Ryan Marks, a junior who is a Resident Assistant on the second floor of Justice. "The community seems to be fine, I don't see any problems at all between the football players and other students. I haven't seen any personally and have never heard of any," Marks said. ""I have always lived in Justice. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else," Marks said.

Tierza Watts, assistant director of Residence Life, conducts a program on bettering communication in relationships last week in the Multicultural Center of Plemmons Student Union, (photo by Bethany Parrish) Student government leaders debate affirmative action Press Release A normally benign meeting of University of North Carolina student gov­ ernment leaders erupted into a dispute over affirmative action last month, bring­ ing the debate over race-based programs on college campuses that much closer to home. The UNC Student Government Association was meeting in Chapel Hill to decide what to lobby this year's General Assembly for on behalf of all students en­ rolled in the university system. Each of the 16 campuses sent four representatives. When the issue of continuing affirmative action came up, debate was sparked. And sparking it was Appalachian State University Student Government As­ sociation Vice President Todd Poole, who declared his opposition to Affirmative Action programs. "Personally I'm opposed to Affirmative Action, and I think the ma­ jority of student here at Appalachian are too. I think discrimination for justice is injustice." What happened next was a two and a half hour debate. Affirmative Ac­ tion conjures up different things to differ­ ent people. Some students think that the word only means quotas. Others think it means simply that no individual's back­ ground could prevent them from attend­ ing a North Carolina school. What finally came out was a vote. Using the phrase "affirmative action" was passed by a 20-12 margin. Appalachian split its votes. According to Poole, "We split our votes to represent all of the students at Appalachian. We do recognize that there is a significant number of students who are for Affirmative Action policy." Those for Affirmative Action pro- SeeSGAon page 2 �fage 2 The Appalachian 18 February]^ Visiting writers to appear while April brings poets Nikki Finney and Kelly Ellis, as well as novelist James Welch and novelist and playwright Jim Grimsley.

March will bring poet and novelist Benjamin Alire Saenz, SGA from page 1 grams on campus who knew about tfje meeting, met the split vote Vvith little surprise. "I think it's a popular decision. Most detractors are good-willed, but uninformed. Jt's contra-university mission state­ ment and a bad thing based on shortsightedness," said Dr. Jesse Taylor, assistant to the Vice Chan­ cellor on Minority Affairs. In 1994, statewide Univer­ sity enrollment was made up of 74.3 percent white students and 24.7 percent minority. That num­ ber, however, is skewed because in North Carolina there are tradition­ ally black institutions such as Eliza­ beth City State University and Win­ ston Salem State, as well as tradi­ tionally white colleges. However, a goal has been put forth that his­ torically white universities should have 10 percent black enrollment and historically black university should have 15 percent white en­ rollment. At Appalachian, there are currently 10,338 white students, 80 students of Hispanic origin, 85 Asian students, 37 American Indi­ ans and 293 African Americans, putting minority enrollment at 4.5 percent, 20.2 percent less than the FOR SURVIVING THE 90s cosponsored by the Humanities Thematic Festival as well as the Special Forum Series. There will be a reception following the read­ ing, sponsored by Friends of Belk Library. Grimsley's presentation in the Attic Window Room of the student union on April 16 at 7:30 p.m. will conclude the series. He will also conduct a play writing workshop that afternoon in I.G. Greer Arena Theater at 3 p.m. The Visiting Writing Se­ ries is a wonderful opportunity for students as well as faculty and staff to meet and hear the words of wis­ dom from a wide variety of accom­ plished writers, coming from dif­ ferent avenues of writing.

If affirmative action pro­ grams were indeed based on quo­ tas, then Appalachian would be in severe noncompliance. But affir­ mative action here at Appalachian is not based on quotas, rather a system of recruitment. As mandated by law, Ap­ palachian admission officers must visit at least 384 North Carolina high schools. At each school, the officer must make a special effort to contact minority presence stu­ dents and acauaint them with Appalachian's policy of nondis­ crimination. Adoth&Chancellor to- continue...

Namely, we've noticed the lack of interest pong on campus students towards the one outlet jieyall have for vocalizing their views on how they iant to live, RSA. The Resident Student Association is the voice joron-campus students. You don't have to be fleeted to speak. All you have to do is live on cam­ pus. Yet, it is obvious that few are actually taking jdvantage of the opportunity. Amy Harrington, the RSA president for Lovill hall said that out of the almost 270 residents in her dorm the average attendance at RSA meetings ranges between 30 and 40. Does that mean that only 15 percent of the residents in the dorm actu­ ally care about how they live? This situation is not uncommon across campus. In fact it is the norm. Perhaps residents don't know low the system works. Each residence hall has a weekly meeting called RSA. Each RSA has a representative which it send the CRSA (Campus Student Resident Associa­ tion). The president of this organization is able to give the opinion of the CRSA, which represents the RSAs to the administration. RSA and CRSA are the organizations that the administration looks to to get a consensus for on campus student's opinions. So, if you're not participating then the admin­ istration doesn't know how you feel. Perhaps you feel that RSA doesn't actually do anything. Well, if you're right then get involved and change it. Some things are obviously getting done. Last semester students were able to suggest to the administration where additional blue lights were teeded and where hazardous spots were on cam>us.

RSA is the group that can lobby for residence iall equipment like vacuums and board games.

I wanted to What has snow done for you lately? Down Home with Bob Hutton Columnist Last year (transfers and freshmen will have to take my word for it), The Appalachian carried a col­ umnist named Stephen Mackay, an enthusiastic young Republican who tried to portray himself as the paper's arch-conservative, but instead usually portrayed him­ self as the horse's posterior. In one of his columns, Stephen made the remark that the upper echelon of Republican power in the US. Congress had too many Southerners. At the time, I felt like writing in to the paper to inform Mackay that, without southern voters, his Republican party would have gone the way of the dodo back when Grand Funk Railroad was still on the Top 40. I would have also mentioned to him that if he wanted to write on politics, actually knowing what you're talking about can come in handy. But I didn't write in. I've always prided myself on my self-re­ straint. Another time he wrote a column about how people that don't like cold weather shouldn't bother coming to Appalachian. According to him, there's no other defining facet to the Boone community than our yearly arctic conditions. Stephen must have never visited Expressions. Anyway, that article really got my goat. There's more to love about Boone than just the weather, and I wanted to tell him that. In fact, my desire to re­ spond to that particular column was what originally inspired me to sign on as a columnist. Now you know who to blame. I don't like cold weather myself, but I came to ASU anyway. Despite what you may hear, there's more to this university than just the weather. Personally, I came here because Appalachian sounded like the kind of academic setting that I was looking for: a relatively provincial locality with nice restaurants and ample entertainment nearby, but with a few socialists thrown in to give it that kooky cos­ mopolitan feel that you expect in a college. I have to say that I wasn't disappointed. Nevertheless, winter is definitely my least favor­ ite season, especially here in Watauga County. You catch colds, the residence halls get too hot, the wind makes your ears feel like frozen meat (or tofu, if you prefer), and getting from place to place on campus becomes an exercise in misery. I suppose the primary complaint I have about winter is the one part most people seem to look for­ ward to: snow. Snow is wet and cold and it doesn't have the decency to run downhill like rain does. Snow makes its way into the buildings and makes a soggy mess in front of the door that someone has to clean up. You can bet that the housekeeping staff doesn't look forward to snow; unlike the rest of us, they actually have to work around here and the snow just complicates matters for them. Snow also promotes obnoxious behavior. Snow­ balls are often thrown at complete strangers. This seems to be considered playful behavior among many students, particularly freshmen Floridians and lowlanders who, in frequent cases, have never seen the stuff before and get excited at its appearance. Just remember kids, if you happen to get me in your sights, I don't use snowballs. Snow makes driving difficult. I've noticed that very few of those I hear gushing about how pretty the snow is actually have to drive in it. Those few who do drive are usually the ones that got a brand new Ford Explorer from Daddy last Christmas. I don't know if there is anyone else here who drives a 1978 Malibu like me, but I doubt you'll hear them espouse many kind words about the snow. 'Tiwrj l>*> SENATE HEARINGS ON GllLF WAR ILLNESS Speaking of which, why do people think snow is so pretty? It's white. What's pretty about white? It's the color of nothing. Then again, I can see why some people may think this way. I've found that snow is particularly popu­ lar among those with a predilection toward purity. And it's no wonder; with the world covered by a layer of immaculate, neutral white it appears as if all is pure and serene. It helps us forget that there's any dirt in the world. But don't forget, under that flawless white cov­ ering there's a fot of grass and trees that are dead. Come to think of it, I bet Hitler loved snow. And with the snow comes ski-season. The one question that skiing conjures in my head is, why? Why would anybody want to pay good money and stand in line in order to strap boards onto their feet and slide down a steep hill? Actually, I admit that I can see how this could be thrilling, but I'd rather do it in the summer when there's no cold wet snow to confound me. But then again, I suppose that's what skateboarding is based on and, well, it's just not worth it. Winter spectator sports interest me even less. Hockey is okay, but I'd enjoy it more if players occa­ sionally fell through the ice. Ice skating can be fun to watch for a number of non-competitive reasons, but can you really call it a sport? And basketball, well, let's just say that if I want to watch a bunch of young men running around in their underwear try­ ing to score, I can just go to Cone hall. Still, I think I get along fine around here even though I don't always like the weather. In some ways I like it better this way because it gives me some­ thing to complain about that no one can change. This is important since it insures that I remain per­ petually unsatisfied, a valuable asset for curmudg­ eonly opinion columnists like myself. Besides, so far this has been the mildest winter I've experi­ enced in Boone. All in all, I can think of worse cir­ cumstances. And you can bet you're going to hear about them. �The Appalachian 18 Febru Page 4 THINK YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO CONTRIBUTE TO APPALACHIAN 5TATE UNIVERSITY? V HAT ARE YOU VAITING FOR?

The UNC Student Government Asso­ ciation was meeting in Chapel Hill to de­ cide what to lobby this year's General Assembly for, on behalf of all students enrolled in the university system. Each ofthe 16 campuses sent four representames. The three hour debate was sparked by Appalachian State University Student Government Association Vice :sident Todd Poole, who declared his isition to affirmative action programs. Speaking from his office about his itements, Poole said, "Diversity is very important to higher education and it con­ cerns me the lack of diversity here on campus. When asked why he voted against af­ firmative action being on the platform, he stated, "Personally, I'm opposed to affir­ mative action, and I think the majority of students here at Appalachian are, too. I think discrimination for justice is injus­ tice." What had to be hashed out during the debate was the meaning of affirmative action. Some students thought that affir­ mative action meant quotas. However, UNC's version of affirmative action is sim­ ply to make sure no one's background pre­ vents them from attending a UNC school. What finally came out was a vote. Using the phrase "affirmative action," it was passed by a 20-12 margin. Appala­ chian split its votes. According to Poole, "We split our votes to represent all of the students at Appalachian. We do recognize that there is a significant number of stu­ dents who are for affirmative action policy." Those for affirmative action programs on campus who knew about the meeting, met the split vote with little surprise. "I think it's a popular decision. Most detractors are good-willed, but unin­ formed. It's contra-university mission affirmative action at Appalachian is not statement, and a bad thing based on short­ based on quotas, rather a system of re­ sightedness," said Dr. Jesse Taylor, assis­ cruitment and scholarships. tant to the Vice Chancellor on Minority As mandated by law, Appalachian A f f a i r s . admission officers must visit at least 384 In 1994, statewide University enroll­ North Carolina high schools.

Also, theire are special campus visitation programs for black students, which are used to inform the prospective students of ASU's multi­ racial character, its intent to increase npinority enrollment, and programs of finan­ cial aid that are available. \ Some sticking points in the affirma­ tive action debate are race-based scholar­ ships and grants. ASU currently gives away $47,000 in Minority Presence Grants. It also allocates $45,000 in Afri­ can-American Scholarships. However,! it should be noted that the general popula­ tion of ASU currently recieves more than $2,000,000 in scholarships and grants, most of which goes to the majority popu­ lation. ASU's affirmative action programs are not quotas. Rather, minority students are heavily recruited by the admission staff who look at a broad range of factors in deciding who to admit. As the numbars indicate, no white student is being denied in favor of a minority student. , Oerticaf Horizon, Jupiter Coyote have offerings n Vertical Horizon Live Stages (Rhythmic) Vertical Horizon's new CD is an exer­ cise in redundancy.

It's like through most of "®CD the band has decided that it is defi­ nitely country/rock. But there are mo­ ments when it can't seem to make up its mind what it is. Am I country, am I bluegrass, am I a '°lk band, am I a cover band for whatever group did the Saved by the Bell Gertie song? Overall, the band has a distinctively teuntry feel, though it never crosses over ""to the mainstream. So, if you don't mind a little country mixed in your rock, this CD is definitely '•'orth a listen to. "Jeremy Ball, assistant features editor The Spirits Drive (Island) Listening to this disc makes me won­ der if this is a debut album. It definitely sounds like these guys are still trying to get their feet grounded. Unfortunately they're stepping in some pretty unsavory stuff. Some of the songs sound like the stuff you hear those kids mimic on Saved By the Bell. They're desperately trying to define a current sound, but it's cheesy and makes you cringe after only a few seconds. The title track features some neat eighties-styled atmospherics and the up­ beat "Hope" offers some hope of deliver­ ing the album from its own boredom.. Between the bad lyrics and unoriginal music, though, this album will indeed "Drive" you crazy. -John Starling, features editor Speedball Baby Cinema! (MCA/Fort Apache) •••• Oddly enough, Speedball Baby sounds like a Tom Verlaine-fronted Georgia Sat­ ellites/Stray Cats side project. Even more peculiar, it doesn't sound that bad. The band's interesting blend of poetic musings and outright singing/blues moans makes for halfway decent listening. "Black Cat Moan" displays this style well, while "Suicide Girl" is outright poetry rapped over music. The band's light-heartedness also helps save these songs from sound­ ing trite or cliched.

The fifth century B.C. play by Euripides, adapted into modem language by Kenneth Cavander, begins nighdy at 8 (p.m.) in Valborg Theatre. Tickets are $3 for students and $5 for nonstudents and can be purchased at the theatre box office 2-5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Call 262-3063 for more information or reservations. This classic story of forbidden love, revenge and divine intervention opens with Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love, and her desire for power. Aphrodite becomes enraged that Hippolytus, son of the King of Athens, Theseus, spends his days worshipping Artemis, goddess of the hunt. Aphrodite's jealousy reels out of control, and she devises a plan to seek revenge. Aphrodite plants a seed of illicit love for Hippolytus into the heart of Phaedra, who is married to Theseus. Phaedra's desire for Hippolytus, coupled with Hippolytus's scorn, drives her insane, and she eventually takes revenge on all of those she has loved. The play is presented by the theatre and dance department. Cast members include Kristy Anne Barstow, Douglas Coventry, Marin Conaughty, Russell Poole, Peyton King, Lauren Volkmer, Gail Gregory, Angie Light, Gina Scott, Stella Sexton, Barrett Gregory, Joshua Scott, William Stoneham, Brian Ward and C. Bradford Fairbanks. Pictured above, left to right, are Coventry, Poole, King and Volkmer. "Hippolytus" is directed by Dr. Susan Cole, theatre and dance department chairwoman. Scene and lighting design is by Joel E. Williams. Costumes are designed by Amy Leigh Harrison. The play is stage managed by Catherine A. Tate. Jewelry design and construction are provided by art department faculty and students.

We'll love them even more for this. Can we say, "atmospheric"? The (almost) absence of guitars is covered by plenty of percussion and ambient sounds (strings and sound effects). Good mood mu­ sic (not for what you're thinking, silly). It's pretty hard to pick a spe­ cific track or two to pinpoint as highlights. This is an album in the highest sense of the word. You'll need to listen to it all the way through to get the point. That is, if you can take it. The music is, at times, not there. The bass is way too low in the mix and is drowned out by the drums. There just seems to be unforgivable gaps in the tunes. But, then again, that may be the point.

The crucial three by Tige Darner, that helped us out." Tige Darner, who in the past couple of games has turned his game inside out, led all scorers with 23 points, most coming from the paint or the charity stripe. " Some people probably sit there and think I am just going to shoot the ball, I try to throw the stigmatism completely off and go for the goal," Darner remarked. Also leading the Mountaineers in scoring was Junior Braswell, who chipped in 19 points and five assists. Blair Adderly chipped in 10 points, tying Livingston for the team high in rebounds with seven. In the first half, the Mountaineers picked up the pace, siccing a full court press on the Buccaneers, throwing their rhythm off, something Peterson said his team will be doing more of. The press disrupted the Buccaneers giving Appalachian leads as big as 19 points in the first half. "I think we shocked them with the press. That's the first time we did it all year. I think they were kind of shocked and weren't ready for it and we executed well," Braswell said at the game's end. In the past couple of games Peterson has cut down to an eight man rotation and in all likelihood will stick with it in the next couple of games. "That gave everybody a more defined role, and going down the stretch that's something I think our guys might need right now," Peterson said. "I was pleased with that. It seemed to work pretty well." The win marks the third straight win for the Mountaineers and ties the streak set earlier this year when Appalachian defeated VMI, Western Carolina and UNC-Greensboro. The Mountaineers' last regular season game will be Saturday at Davidson. "Hopefully we'll get a win down there," Braswell said. "The momentum factor is doing a great job for us going into the tournament."

Jeff Sprouse Staff Writer Blimling explains Judicial Board ruling SGA also hears concerns about over prescription of drugs in infirmary Beth Bliss Staff Writer Vice-chancellor Dr. Gregory Blimling fielded questions concerning the recent decision made by the University Judicial Board at the Student Government Association's meeting Tbesday evening. Blimling informed the Senate of the ruling made by the board in the case of an alleged assault that occurred Jan. 19. Blimling told SGA members that the University Judicial Board found the evidence presented to be insufficient and could not conclude that an assault had occurred. "Because somebody makes a charge doesn't mean it's true," he said. Blimling said the case was sent to the University Judicial Board instead of the Student Judicial Board due to the severity of the accusation. When asked if the alleged victim will file criminal charges against the ac­ cused, Blimling said the victim has not yet lodged such charges. However, if the al­ leged victim wants to raise such charges, Blimling said she can do so at any time because rape is a felony charge. Senator Rolondo Enoch asked Blimling if the victim will also be charged for lewd, indecent or obscene conduct. Blimling said he could not discuss the sta­ tus of the alleged victim. Following Blimling's address, Di­ rector of Student Health Services Dr. Wil­ liam Derrick spoke about the current sta­ tus of Health services. Derrick said Health Services is currently working to improve two main student complaints: waiting time and overuse of the antibiotic amoxicillin. According to Derrick, the problem of having to wait to see a doctor is not limited to Appalachian's Health Services; rather, it is a problem faced by all univer­ sity health care facilities. Derrick said stu­ dents tend to come at the most convenient times, usually right after a class, and this - can lead to a long wait. Derrick said Health Services has taken some steps to decrease waiting time. "We have tried to spread out times by offering appointments," he said. In addition, Derrick told SGA members that many students have come to Health Services with concerns that amoxicillin is over-prescribed for infec­ tions. "We are not over-prescribing (amoxicillin)," Derrick said. "(But) we are probably guilty of prescribing amoxicillin frequently, and there's a good reason for that." According to Derrick, the most frequently observed condition in students is tin upper respiratory infection with a sore throat, which often indicates the pres­ ence of Group A, Beta Hemolytic Strep bacteria. Derrick said amoxicillin is effec­ tive in destroying this bacteria, but stu­ dents have claimed that they have devel­ oped a resistance to the drug because they have taken it so frequently. However, Derrick said health ser­ vice faculty shy away from higher level drugs for simple infections such as this because frequent use of such medications may make them ineffective if they are ever needed for more serious infections. Derrick said the future of Health Services depends on many things, espe­ cially the student fee cap which limits the amount the health service fee can be raised each year. According to Derrick, Health Ser­ vices is investigating various ways to gen­ erate revenue through charges for certain services or products. When asked if Health Services has considered allowing students to use fam­ ily or personal insurance to pay for ser­ vices, Derrick said Appalachian has not considered that a viable option because it could prevent some students from attend­ ing school here. Derrick said the process used by Appalachian is the most efficient form of health care: Students pay up front and receive care as it is needed. Charlotte man searches for ASU "hero" Vanessa Urruela Editor-in-Chief John Cutter of Charlotte is look­ ing for a hero. The person he wants to find rescued a Charlotte boy who was involved in a serious skiing accident at Hawks Nest Ski Mountain last year. On Jan. 25, 1996 Jon Barrett Purdue, age 13, was skiing around 9 p.m. when he fell and was seriously hurt. A member of the ski patrol rescued Purdue, who was airlifted from the moun­ tain, and even went to visit him in the hos­ pital. Purdue's family never got the name or any personal information of the patrol member. They credit part of their son's recovery from injuries including a rup­ tured spleen to his prompt rescue. Cutter said the ski patrol person was a white male with sandy brown or "blondish" hair. He thinks the man was around six feet tall and is possibly named or has the nickname "Chip" or "Chuck." This person may or may not still be a student at Appalachian. Anyone with information about the ski patrol member is asked to call Cut­ ter at (704) 334-2849. Cutter's email address is "kcutter544@aol.com ". There is a $100 reward for any­ one who gives information which leads to the person's identification. Cutter said Purdue is feeling much better now and is thankful for his rescuer's help. 1 �; The Appalachian 13 February 19,- Page 2 Center from page 1 with low self-esteem or bouts with depression, and it is almost always linked to a relationship," said Jones. When asked if the con­ sumer-driven holiday of Valentine's Day contributes more patients to the Center, he responds, "No, not really. There may be a few who feel that they have been ne­ glected by their significant other, but there is no significant increase in cases of depression." Concerning holidays in general, Jones stated since the University is closed during the major holidays, there are no visi­ tors to the center. "However, in January, we do see a lot of students coming back depressed after a con­ flict within their family," Jones said. The center also offers fam­ ily and couple counseling, for "stu­ dents when their issues seem re­ lated to their primary relation­ ships," Jones said. The center also sponsors programs outside of the clinical setting. One such program is "Ask Uncle Sigmund," a kind of "Dear Abby" column, which can be found on the ASU Gopher system. "Uncle Sigmund" will answer questions about personal problems, relation­ ships, stress and alcohol or drugs. All questions are answered by pro­ fessional counselors. Also, every Monday at noon, a program called "Lunch with Uncle Sigmund" takes place in the student union. Each session deals with a specific topic, taught by an expert in that particular field. If Uncle Sigmund does not meet your needs, and you wish to see a counselor, you can come in through the Walk-In Clinic.

Sorry folks, can't ilish information we don't even have. When cases are handled through the Judicial airs Office, records are sealed to protect yone's privacy. According to the Family Rights privacy Act, the media has no access to univer,r records pertaining to judicial cases.

The Art of Opinion: 101 Do us a favor and look above this box, at the ip of the newspaper. See the word "Opinion"? It's here for a reason. In every newspaper in this nation, there are iretty standard sections: news, editorials, features nd sports. It's clear what each of the sections are ir. Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary deies the word opinion thusly, "a view, judgement, appraisal formed in the mind about a particular atter." Webster's New World Thesaurus gives the folowing synonyms for the word opinion, "notion, \ sentiment, conception, idea, surmise, impresinference, conjecture, inclination, fancy, imagig, supposition, suspicion, assumption, guess, iiy, thesis, theorem, postulate, hypothesis, pointMew, presumption, presupposition..." and the list goes on. People who are angered or have some other ingful emotional or intellectual response to on pieces in this paper need to understand it they are reading. When people write editori(also known as opinion columns) they are exiing their view. When readers want to make a al response to any article or column, they need write a letter to the editor or contact the author ersonally. We are absolutely sick and tired about people etting all fired up and then writing letters that don't lave a point, aren't the required length, or that are lot signed. Please read our editorial policy at the lottom of this column to see what our standards >r letters are. Don't think for a second that we're oing to publish any letter that isn't signed. Have ome guts and put your name on it. It's fine and dandy if you want to disagree with iur columnists. That's perfectly okay.

Images of bubbling champagne and soft music style mush that is pulsate around the lovey-dovey style mush that is so abundant in the air. This is, however, an unrealistic picture of the way that Valentines Day really works. You see, there are three kinds of people on Valentine's Day; the lover, the idiot, and the lonely. The lover is the person who has carefully planned out an evening of romance. The male lover has pur­ chased the standard roses and candies, made reser­ vations at a fine restaurant, and has plans for a ro­ mantic drive on the Parkway. The female lover has taken great pains to wear the fragrance that her mate is particularly fond of. This Valentine will, of course, be darned in her most faltering apparel accented by a sliver of gold about her neck; last year's Valentine present. The male will arrive at his destination, spend five minutes making sure his hair is perfect in the rear view mirror, and then approach the door. Upon opening the door, said female will be presented with her tokens of affection and offer a kiss for payment. From here the lovers will proceed to a fine din­ ing establishment where the male will spend ungodly amounts of money on a dinner that his date will only barely touch. Later on, the couple will venture out on the Park­ way where they will (among other things) stare up at the sky and share their deepest feelings. The night will then be concluded with the standard good-bye kiss (or is that in the morning?). Then there is the idiot. For lack of a better name and the florists to become richer." Ah yes, the true call of the bum. Anything to save a dollar. Bubba dashes to his Pinto, and drives to his love's I Viewpoint house (where she tries to hide that hurt look when wl w | by Danny Sink there are no tokens to be had). I XT Columnist In the back of her mind she knows that there must be something special awaiting her. As the Pinto crawls into the Taco Bell parking lot, she begins to we will call him Don Juan de Bubba. By some seriously doubt her earlier suspicion. Over their romantic Bean Burrito dinner she be­ miracle, Bubba has actually found a date for Valentine's. He starts his evening out in much the gins to slip in subtle hints such as, "I bet the Parkway same manner as his lover counterpart has. He show­ is beautiful this time of night." Somehow the hinps must have passed Bubba by, or more likely, he did not want to have to fill his car up with gas, because they ended up at Wal-Mart for the rest of the night. To others, Valentine's Day is a tormenting re­ minder of lost loves or loves never had. Looks of longing are replaced by painful wishing and self-pity. As their friends run through the dorm, rushing to shower and shave before their dates, the Valen­ tine-less sit and wonder, "Why not me?" The smells of cologne and flowers fill the air along with roses waiting to be delivered to a pair of delicate hands. The night seems to linger on relentlessly as tfie dateless sit and stare blankly at the TV screen, trying to console themselves with the fact that, "At least]1 didn't miss Matlock." ers, sprinkles on some cologne, and fixes his hair. So what is the moral of this little trip down There is however a difference between the "lover" and the "idiot." There are no roses or candies to Valentine's lane, or is there one? Not really, only a spread their sweet aroma, not as much as a Valentine's simple bit of advice. If you're a lover, good job. If you're Bubba, get card. Bubba is one of those guys that subscribes to the a clue. And if you're lonely, don't sit around in a theory, "Valentine's Day is no more than a commer­ pool of self-pity. You're never going to find a Valen­ cial non-sense, nothing more than a way for Hershe/s tine whining that you are a loser. Rape prevails throughout American culture My Turn by Kirstie Fischer Guest Columnist Contrary to popular misconception, there has not been an increase in sexual violence around our campus. Though many are deluded by this illu­ sion, the sadder, scarier truth is that rape and sexual assault are happening at a constant, steady rate. Only the public attention surrounding these crimes is increasing. Rape is nothing new to most college age women. One in three of us has been or will be raped or sexually assaulted during our lifetimes. Most of us know more friends that have been vio­ lated than we can count on both hands. The threat looms over us everywhere we go, forcing us to be constantly on the defensive. Our world is characterized by mistrust, uncertainty, and deprivation of our freedom and mobility. Some of us wrongly blame ourselves. Some of us are haunted by nightmares and unresolved questions. We confide in each other during late night talks. "It happened to you, too?" we ask in half-comfort, half-disbelief. This is our reality. Collectively, we characterize rapists as men in ski masks who jump out at women from behind bushes. We tell women that they'll be safe by not walking alone. We ignore the fact that 60 percent of rapes are committed by people the victims know. Bear in mind that only one in ten rapes are reported. Even women who report rapes are often discouraged from pressing charges by people who tell them that they will feel further victimized by being in the public eye, that the crime will be diffi­ cult to prove, and that they may have to deal with negative reactions from the community. These statistics, realities, and common reactions indicate that we have a huge problem, not just as a campus, but as a society. We represent a micro­ cosm of the rape culture that permeates society. If we want to break out of this mold, we must all work together to subvert the paradigm that categorizes rape as acceptable. First, we must redefine rape. Changes in legisla­ tion do not equate to changes in consciousness. Though North Carolina law states that having sex with a woman who is intoxicated is rape, the judicial board's "not guilty" verdict of "forcible or non-forc­ ible sex offenses" pinned to the five males accused of raping a woman in Justice Hall proves that our con­ sciousness is far from reformed. We as a society foster notions that it's okay to force sex on women in certain circumstances. Three years ago, I conducted a rape awareness program in a residence hall. Many males admitted that they did not consider forced sex rape if the woman was too drunk to give a response or unconscious. Ditto for women who consensually fooled around with them, women who has slept with them before, and women who first said "Yes" and then said "No". These misconceptions feed our rape culture. Many males enter college with these ideals, and many females are taught the same beliefs and are there­ fore reluctant to report incidents that fall into what they are conditioned to perceive as "grey" areas. A whopping 62 percent of males say that they would force sex on a woman if they knew they wouldn't get caught. These social mores are more prevalent in our community than we would like to think. Therefore, we must reform our strategies for dealing with sexual violence, otherwise we perpetuate the cycle. The first hurdle in subverting our rape culture is surmounted by addressing these issues rather than suppressing them. Where there is silence, there is violence. The more we get the word out and talk about rape, the higher awareness levels rise. Education increases, and causes males to think twice before they act and women to take back their personal safety and be less intimidated to report rapes. It's great that we at ASU, administration included, are beginning to express more willingness to deal with these issues. True, it's taken protests, petitions, speak-outs, and media coverage to jerk them into action, but at least they are finally showing more responsibility. Now that these issues are finally being addressed, we must reform the ways we address them. We un­ fortunately handle rape awareness and education with reactive, not proactive measures. We focus pri­ marily on the victims and preventative measures that women can take. We advocate "Don't walk alone!" and the in­ stallation of more blue light phones. We leave out an important part of the picture and shift focus from the fact that we are usually raped by people we know and would generally associate with anyway. These safety suggestions undermine the fact that rape is a violent attack that stems out of domi­ nation and control. Women are made to feel as though they are somehow encouraging these at­ tacks. We must focus equally on what men can do to help stop rape and acknowledge that we live in a culture that supports it. Education and awareness raising are keys to proactively fighting rape. One way to encourage positive attitudes is by in­ corporating rape awareness into freshmen orienta­ tion. During these programs, we must remem­ ber to clearly define what rape is (especially the instances which commonly confuse some males), why it's wrong, and the maximum penalty for commiting this and related crimes. If someone's morals don't discourage them from raping, perhaps the fear of getting caught will. These programs should extend beyond safety to empower women to handle violations, informing them of their rights and directing them to support­ ive networks. These programs should be followed up in both* freshman seminar and in the first mandatory hall' meetings at the beginning of each school year. More victim's advocacy is also an important! step toward transforming our rape culture. After demands from protestors and increased pressure,' Chancellor Borkowski has indicated that he may] work to implement a victims advocacy center on our campus. Advocacy centers help to support victims and pull all of their aids and options under one roof. Hopefully, this resource will help to comfort, empower, and direct women who have been vio­ lated to dealing with these crimes through the best outlets. Perhaps the biggest area in which we can work to reform our rape culture is within our own per­ sonal lives and social networks. We can educate and support each other. Just as women who are aware of their rights can encourage other women to press charges, men who are educated about what rape is can help keep an eye on and influence other men. Together, maybe we can find the proper tools and strength to kill this beast.

Page 6 Letters to the Editor Lockdowns don't violate rights White girls are freaky Letter to the Editor, As an African American male I have some ques­ tions to pose to my African American brothers. Why is it that we as African American males cannot walk across campus, go to the Quinn Center, or go to a University social function or better yet Savannah Joe's without a white girl trying to "get with us?" Or better yet why do white girls obviously target our African American athletes? Why is it that when you go to a particular residence hall on this campus you can always find a white girl, better know as a "groupie", hanging around "being down for what­ ever." Then, if these questions (and answers) are all so obvious to us, why is it so inconceivable for Vanessa Urella (sic), Chancellor Francis Borkowski and Vice Chancellor Greg Blimling (and there are others as well) to realize this. Could it be that they are just taken back by the thought of a white girl consenting to having sex with one or more African American men? Well believe it, it happens everyday, all day. And yes as I mentioned earlier, they (white girls) are down for whatever. A question for Ms. Urruela. Why did you state in your "opinion" article in Tuesday's issue of the Appa­ lachian, "that some people are going to be angry when they read the punishments the University Board rec­ ommended to the men accused of recently raping a I believe it was placed on the front page of the newspaper that you write for and obviously do not read that the "five men were guilty of lewd, indecent or obscene conduct but not guilty of forcible or non-forcible sex offenses." First of all, why does it matter that she was a first year student? What does that mean? Is she pure and naive? The first year is when these white girls are most "freaky." They get away from home, away from Mom and Dad and want to try the "Black Experience." Also Vanessa, there is no doubt in my mind that there are some angry people, myself included, angry about the non-punishment of all parties involved in the lewd, indecent and obscene conduct. This ap­ plies to the alleged assailants and alleged victim as well. Yes, you are right, there were only seven people who know what happened in the reydence hall so it i^ not for you or me to judge or conlfct either party. Since you mentioned the punishments exacted by the University being too light, by the outcome of the case, it can be concluded that there indeed was n'B case. And lastly Ms. Urruela, do you know who I pity? The men who will attend Appalachian in the coming years and be falsely accused of anything. You said you don't want people who sexually assault women on this campus? Well, I don't want white girls who Want to be with African American men and then for some reason want to scream rape or sexual assault on this campus either! Y'all need ta learn how to spell Letter to the Editor, I am writing in response to the response to (care­ ful folks, this gets confusing) the teach-ins and the campus-wide lock down. I must be the only person who remembers the rage felt by students after the raping of multiple ASU women. This past week the University answered the cries and took action. What happens? All of a sudden we turn into a collection of whining, snivelling (sic) chil­ dren crying about how our rights were "taken away." Now think about this. Imagine walking home from a late night at the library (this is for you men also; you are not invulnerable to rape) and before you can think to scream, your most basic rights are snatched away from you. No, I'm not talking about your right to visit your boyfriend in his dorm. I'm talking about your right to be safe; your right to choose your sexual partner; perhaps even your right to live. You've been raped. Renee Cagla (sic) claimed that last Tuesday felt "oppressive" and that she "didn't like it." If you think no visitation for a day and one man­ datory meeting is oppressive, Renee, then I wish you would consider how oppressed you would feel being gang raped in your own dorm building. The lock down was to increase our awareness of the recent rapes on and off campus. If the lock down made you angry, if it made you feel oppressed, good. It should have. Maybe now we can see what life would be like if we don't take alternative action now. Dena Light aau DUX ITOOO Library seeks input Letter to the Editor, , Should The Appaiacnian evci be considered Appalachian ever "real" newspaper, I would certainly hope a trained and skilled Proofreader would be hired. I cannot count the number of times that I found errors in spelling and grammar. Not to mention the poor quality of the editing. The overall impression I get when I read this newspaper is one of disgust. To be called a newspaper is one thing; to make and ptint errors only leads me to believe that the entire staff of the (sic) The Appalachian just doesn't care enough to do a thing about it. I enjoy reading the campus newspaper very much. Even more enjoyable to me is reading a well produced paper, without the lame and unexcusable errors. Dan Cummins ASU Box 18068 Enough with the apathy already Letter to the Editor, I have been wondering for some time now why the attendance at both the men's and women's bas­ ketball games here on campus is so low. At first I thought it was a lack of interest in sports by the stu­ dent body, yet every other person on campus seems to be wearing Carolina or Duke paraphernalia. There are more than 12,000 students attending ASU, all who get in free to games, and the gym bleach­ ers still resemble a high school crowd on game day. Now I admit there have been a few exceptions, like the men's games vs. Davidson and Western Care where the crowd was of decent size.

We sincerely appreciate your voicing the opinion that the University needs a state-of-the-art library to serve our 12,000 students. Appalachian students clearly deserve a new library.

"We play in a very American style, it pays tribute to roots music, while ing to expand upon it," remarks bass lyer Jay Sanders. The genesis of Snake Oil dates back to the year 1989 in a community living space in Adanta known as the Clubhouse, where musicians, artists and as­ sorted freaks would congre­ gate. Among the inhabitants was George Pond and his future wife and fiddle play­ ing partner C a r o l i n e Bazemore. During these formative years, George began to write songs that would turn up in the Snake Oil repertoire. He eventually coined the phrase and coaxed Caroline into breaking out her fiddle, which she had not used since her days with the At­ lanta Symphony Youth Orchestra. "I'm very grateful to George, he was my coach," explains Caroline. Later, in 1993, drummer Steve Peterson entered the Clubhouse scene. He has performed with Snake Oil off and on 'ocai group sings "Yer Pleasure" Aimee Yawn Reporter No other group can make notes ring Ethey do, generate as much excitement they do, or make girls blush like they i. Viho are they? They are called What's jPleasure, and a pleasure they are ined. j \ ! What's Yer Pleasure is a choral group A.S.U. that originally started about 20 irs ago as an outgrowth of the men's :e Club. Some of the members of the ie Club formed a quartet on their own, learsed, and then performed a song ing the Glee Club concert. The group itinued to grow, and ten years later )pted the name, What's Yer Pleasure, w the group consists of eight members 1 is one of the biggest crowd-drawers campus. What's Yer Pleasure generally sings ber-shop and pop music, and performs ny times throughout the year for such liences as the chancellor and various iferences in the area. The group has 0 performed at the Hiddenite Center, niel Boone Inn, First Baptist Church, 1 has gone Christmas caroling around campus. Last year, for the first time, What's Yer Pleasure split into quartets and competed in the Dixie Classics Competition, coming in first and second in the region. One quartet went on to compete at nationals coming in tenth in the nation. The group says that they would like to make the com­ petition a yearly event. The members of What's Yer Pleasure mainly perform, though, for the pure en­ joyment of the music. Philip H. Owens, a senior from Hickory, said his favorite thing about the group was, "the overall feeling of singing with a group of guys and the excitement of the music, when it's on pitch and the chords are ringing." Senior, Charles L. Corpening from Morganton described What's Yer Pleasure as the, "best music experience that he has ever had." One big thing in the works for What's Yer Pleasure is the chance to sing the National Anthem at a Charlotte Hornets game. The ensemble auditioned back in the fall and is waiting to hear the results. Next time you have an opportunity to see What's Yer Pleasure in action, seize it. It is definitely worth the trip. For more information about the group, you can check out their web page on the Internet listed under the Glee Club. George. 'The current line-up is Snake Oil bluegrass unit number one." Predating the days of the Club­ house, George and his brother Andy took up their study of the guitar and banjo respectively. Upon graduating high school, Andy moved to Idaho to attend college. In 1996, he trans­ ferred to ASU and, more importantly, joined his brother on banjo. Enter the Nash­ ville duo of Jay Sanders on bass and Jason Krekel on mandolin, and the circle is com­ plete. These two attended high school together in Caroline and George married and Nashville, where they both studied music moved to Boone in the summer of 1994 under the same teacher.

He are many former members of Snake Oil later entered the jazz program at the Uni­ scattered throughout the US," explains versity of Tennessee at Knoxville. in the last few years and has just relo­ cated to the Boone area. Krekel's musicianship could be attrib­ uted to his father, an established country songwriter and musician, penning songs for Patty Loveless and Crystal Gale and drumming for Jimmy Buffet during the 70s. Krekel and Sanders both moved to Boone to continue performing music. Sanders is probably best known for his participation and creation of Monday Night Jazz at Beanstalk. The two played in many configurations including Krekel on mandolin and Sanders on guitar, some­ times under the name Lost Dawg. "I look for melody and tone from dif­ ferent types of instruments and try to emulate them on mandolin," added Krekel over the phone. During this time, the two met George and Caroline in the fall of 1995. "We kept saying, just wait until Andy gets here," said George. Sanders would later return to Nash­ ville to study guitar under Reggie Wooten, the older brother of Victor and Roy of The Flecktones. Then, on a hot day in June of 1996, the Pond's, including Andy, con­ vened upon Sanders' living room with in­ struments in tow. Thus beginning the version of Snake Oil Medicine Show that Boone has come to know over the last eight months: George Pond on guitar and vocals, Caroline Pond on fiddle and vo­ cals, Andy Pond on banjo and vocals, Ja­ son Krekel on mandolin and vocals, Jay Sanders on bass, and Steve Peterson on drums. Career Development: get a job! Darin Glass Staff Writer The bottom line is that you, as an ASU student, need a direction. Well, the advi­ sors at The Career Development Center can give you just that. It is a really easy program that can get you anywhere you want to go with its vast resources. The center is hooked up to the Internet and has its own home page. Assistant Director of Career De­ velopment Deborah Lawrence is really excited about the progress that has been made in the department as a whole since moving into the new John Thomas Sup­ port Building. "We have a lot more space now and with the addition of the computer lab, it has helped so much," said Lawrence on the new location. Career Development was located in I.G. Greer and moved into the new loca­ tion last November. Lawrence was con­ cerned about the traffic on Rivers Street but has said that students are finding their way over. Getting started begins with setting up an appointment for orientation. The ori­ entation is only an hour and the informa­ tive session goes through resumes, inter­ views, jobs, career goals and life goals. "We hope to get the students more directed toward their goal," said Lawrence. Once you make your resume, you can send it surfing on the Net and hope to catch a wave into a job or internship. Once your resume is in the system, hundreds of companies will be looking at your resume and deciding if you are the one. Education Recruitment Coordinator Stephen Clemente said, "We get around Valentine's cool holiday Appalachian will be bouncing to the sounds of Jump, Little Children Saturday night The Charleston. S.C. band will be performing in Legends and filling the chilly air with their energetic and genre-jumping sound. Jump, Little Children will be supporting their latest CD, Buzz. The live, six-song EP features such standout tracks as the infectiously fun "Easter Parade" and "Opium (Super Sexy Mix)." Those seeing the band for the first time can expect an experience much like Pave Matthews, They Might Be Giants and the Violent Femmes eating ice-cream in an amusement park. The quirky vocal* superb musicianship and poppy streak of the music are complemented by an off-beat sense of humor and excellent stage presence. Jump, Little Children is an act worth catching. The price is $4 for students and $S for guests. Greasy Beans will be opening. Doors open at 9 pjn. 2,000 hits a week on our students." The "hits" are companies which inquire about the students. Clemente said that the center has three directives, "the resume writing directive, on campus interviewing, and the jobs data base." Clemente is also happy about the new location and is impressed with all the new students coming in. "The whole part of last year we had 797 registered students. Just this semester we have 505 students which are regis­ tered," said Clemente. The computer lab can be used by stu­ dents anytime to work on their resumes or just to see what jobs are out there in their specific field. Graduate students ar^ also encouraged to use the computer to see if it may benefit them. The Career Development Center is hoping that more students will come in and take the world by storm by just sign­ ing up. can be V) a hear no evil method."

The 2500 some-odd fans who jwed up to cheer on the Mountaineers let their voices be heard by both the Moun­ taineers and the badly shaken Herd. Se­ nior Junior Braswell, who led the Moun­ taineers with 17 points, said that he felt "it was the best crowd all year," despite the fact that it was not the largest. The game was highlighted by an eight minute, 14-0 run by the Mountain­ eers at the start of the second half that helped Appalachian to put the Thunder­ ing Herd out of the game both mentally and physically. The Apps actually led by as many as 23 points with under eight minutes to play before Marshall finally managed to figure out how to put the ball in the bas­ ket and make the final score respectable. Yet despite the fact that the Mountaineers were able to win convinc­ ingly in what was probably their final game against the Thundering Herd in Boone, the game did not start out like an easy win for the home team. In the first half the lead changed hands more times than a hot potato as Marshall struggled from behind the three-point arc, going 4- 15 as a team, but managed to get some good looks inside. Appalachian went into the locker room holding just a two-point lead over the cold-shooting visitors. Appalachian Coach Buzz Peterson said that the second half, in which the Mountaineers outscored Marshall 21-2 over a ten minute period to start the half, "might have been our best defensive half of the year." One of the biggest keys to Appalachian's phenomenal second half run was the improved play of players like Josh Grover and Blair Adderly who com­ bined for 23 points, 16 rebounds and two blocks, getting the job done on both ends of the floor. Adderly, who had a doubledouble with 15 points and 11 rebounds, said afterwards that "I knew I needed a big game today for us to win." Also chipping in with 15 points was Tige Damer who surprised fans and opposing players alike with his Michael Jordanesque flights to the basket. Alto­ gether Damer collected 12 of his15 points on the inside while hitting just one threepointer. Another big reason for the in­ spired play of the Mountaineers was that the team was a little more motivated for this game than most others. After all, Marshall is the division leader, the team that beat the Mountaineers by just three points two weeks ago in Huntington and this school's most hated rival in the Southern Conference. Peterson said af­ terwards that "...it doesn't take the kids much to get fired up for (Marshall)." For the Mountaineers, the win was critical in their race for third place in the North Division. If the Apps can finish ahead of either Davidson or VMI and East Tennessee State, they would avoid having to play on the first day of the conference tour­ nament and stay out of the bracket with powerhouse UTC. With the win over the Herd and VMl's loss to Western Carolina Monday night, the Apps have moved into a tie with the Keydets for third place at 6-5 in SC play. The*. Mountaineers now stand at 11-12 over­ all, just one game under .500. The team is also three games ahead of what it had last year in the win column at the end of the season. The Apps will take some time off this week, before traveling up 321 to Johnson City Saturday to take on the Buccaneers of ETSU who just last week­ end upset previously undefeated in con­ ference play Tennessee-Chattanooga in overtime 70-69. Of course the Mountain­ eers also went into the extra period with ETSU before picking up a 77-69 win when the two teams met a few weeks ago in Boone. Following that, the Mountain­ eers will play their final home game of the season Monday night when they take on The Citadel at 7:00 p.m. As for this game, Adderly summed it up best when he said, 'This was our game... we knew what we had to do and we came out and did it." "This was our game... we knew what we had to do and we came out and did it."

I ^ghed and sighed "Yeah right!" 1 I asked questions of the coaches 'the conference tip-off like "How do you tpect the league to stack up?"and, "Who ^ be the dark horse?" I had my misconceptions at the inning, but things have changed over N past few weeks. I, along with every Iter person carrying a press pass at the Hff, expected Marshall and TennesseeItattanooga to run away with the North "d South Divisions of the conference. I wasn't really expecting much "t of a team like Georgia Southern, who ktyear won three games over the course * a whole season. Now Georgia j^thern sits in a tie for second place in South Division, while preseason Writes like Western Carolina, Furman "d The Citadel scrap to stay out of the Terence tournament play-in game. I remember watching the NCAA Ornament last year when the 16th ^ded Catamounts took top-seeded e'due down to the bitter end, losing by % two points. And now after seeing spectacle I am shocked to see that ^tern Carolina is a cellar-dweller! The best example of parity in the "Terence has to be the sad story of East lessee State. The Buccaneers have T every single conference game except those being against Marshall and ^aessee-Chattanooga. The Buccaneers t? ranked as the twenty-first worst team 'the nation according to Jeff Sagarin's Justin Griffin Assistant Sports Editor sports commentary power ratings. Marshall and TennesseeChattanooga are both ranked at least 150 spots higher than East Tennessee State. On paper, East Tennessee State and Georgia Southern do not even belong in the Southern Conference. Georgia Southern is supposedly the fifteenth worst team in the nation, right below the Bucs, according to Sagarin and his "advanced" method of ranking teams. The Sagarin rating system is supposedly a system thought up by a sports/computer geek with too much time on his hands. It rates teams, not by how many wins and losses they have, but by how they perform against other Division I teams and how strong those teams are. Sagarin's system has been embraced by a lot of people in important places. The NCAA Tournament Selection Committee uses the system as pan of their criteria for selecting who will play in the tournament and who won't, and where they will be seede, a practice I definitely have a problem with. The system looks neat and nice on paper, but in real life, it is a mess. The system has proven to be worthless when dealing with the lower echelon conferences such as the Southern Conference. Earlier this year, Appalachian State swept UNC-Greensboro, at the time rated five spots higher than they (Appalachian) in these ratings. The Mountaineers won the first contest in Boone by 26 points and the second game in Greensboro by nine points. The biggest thing that sticks out to me is the amount of shocking games that have occurred in this conference. Virginia Military lost two of their best players earlier this season in Brent Connelly and Andre Quarles, but instead of going on a losing streak as logic dictates, VMI is now firmly entrenched in second place in the North Division, having gotten even hotter since the loss of their two stars. I really don't have any answers as to why things like this happen in any conference. In a league like the Southern Conference, the individual rankings of the teams are suppressed because there are few blowouts. The only way to advance in the Saggarin Rating System is to blow other Division I teams out. A mere victory is not enough to gain respect, Systems like the Saggarin rating system and the Coaches and Presses polls encourage blow outs. It seems to me that when all of this has taken fill1 affect, the world of college athletics wil be a much colder and harsher one. of the second half, and indeed the game, was free throws.

Danny Sink Staff Writer �Page 10 App grapplers crush Davidson David Jackson Staff Writer The Appalachian State wrestling team continued their home-mat dominance Tuesday night as they downed Davidson 37-9, putting the finishing touches on an undefeated season at Var­ sity Gymnasium. The Mountaineers, now 40 in conference and 8-8 overall, completed the home portion of the schedule with a 6-0 record, bring­ ing their winning streak in Varsity Gymnasium to seven matches in a row. The win also sets the stage for Friday night's meeting with VMI, a match that will decide the Southern Conference dual match championship. The match began with for­ feits in the first three weight classes. Davidson's Miles Cox and Appalachian's Tony Hairston and David Hopper all got free victories at their weight classes, giving Ap­ palachian a 12-6 lead. At 142 lbs., Wildcat junior Andy Sterling capitalized on a third period take-down to surge ahead of Lenin Vasquez, taking a 4-2 decision win and cutting the Appalachian to three points at 129. However, that match would be the end of Davidson's scoring for the night as the Apps won the next six matches in row to pick up the 28-point victory. Some of the highlights in­ cluded the 177 and 190 lb. matches, which both ended with pins for Appalachian. At 177 lbs., Danny Bieting pinned Wildcat grappler Bill Cameron at the 2:57 mark to run the Appalachian lead to 28-9. The pin was Bieting's sec­ ond of the year and helped im­ prove his overall record to 10-17. Wrestling in his final match at Varsity Gymnasium, se­ nior Eddy Clark pinned Gray Broughton at the1:20 mark. Clark, a 1996 NCAA qualifier and defend­ ing Southern Conference cham­ pion posted his sixteenth win of the season. The team's lone senior also pushed the Appalachian lead to 349. The closest win of the night for the Mountaineers oc­ curred in the 150 lb. bout in which Appalachian's Ronny Huitt ex­ tended his overall dual record to 5-3 with a 7-6 decision win over Davidson's Ian Kaplan. With the score tied at 6-6, Huitt received a one-point riding time advantage, giving him the victory. "I think the kids wrestled well tonight," Appalachian Coach Paul Mance said afterwards. "Sometimes its hard to wrestle well against a team that has not done well in the conference, but we came out and fought hard." On wrestling VMI for the conference championship Friday night in Lexington, Mance added, "We have to be ready to wrestle on Friday. We need to come out with the intensity and desire we had against (North) Carolina. (VMI) is a talented team. They have had five kids ranked in the top 25 all season. On paper it looks like it will be close, but some of the matches are toss-ups." Both the Mountaineers and the Keydets head into Friday's match unbeaten in league action. The match is the final Southern Conference battle for the Moun­ taineers while the Keydets must face UNC-Greensboro Saturday afternoon.

King St. was temporarily closed Saturday morning after an electri­ cal fire caused structural damage to the building. According to Boone Fire Chief Reggie Hassler, the fire, caused by an over­ loaded electrical outlet, was called into the Boone Fire department around 6:38 a.m. Saturday. Firefighters who arrived at the scene reported seeing smoke and flames coming from an internal wall, Hassler said. The fire was contained within 30 minutes and no one was injured. Damages were estimated at $10,000, which includes $4,000 worth of possessions. The house has been tempo­ rarily shut down until repairs are made to restore structural integrity to the building's second floor.

"We've also offered to let them live in the dorms until their house is fixed." Hassler said the house's smoke detectors, which were inspected about three weeks ago, helped prevent injury. "We inspected them about two to three weeks ago and they checked out," he said. "They may have saved their lives." A University Judicial Board, com­ prised of 10 members, has recommended that one male student be suspended from Appalachian and that four others be placed on probation for lewd, indecent, or obscene conduct in the case of an as­ sault that occurred Jan. 19. A first-year female student al­ leged that she had been sexually assaulted in a residence hall charged the men un­ der the code of student conduct with lewd, indecent or obscene conduct and forcible or non-forcible sex offense. The board found the five men guilty of lewd, indecent or obscene con­ duct but not guilty of forcible or non-forc­ ible sex offenses. A sixth male student charged in connection with the same incident was found innocent of alleged offenses. According to the Code of Student Conduct defines forcible or non-forcible sex offenses as "any sexual act directed against another person, forcibly and/or against that person's will; or not forcibly or against the person's will where the vic­ tim is incapable of giving consent. Nonforcible sex offenses are acts of unlawful non-forcible sexual intercourse." According to Lee McCaskey, direc­ tor of Judicial Affairs, any act that the normal person would consider lewd, ob­ scene or indecent falls under the general misconduct code. see Judicial on p. 2 School violence drops ASU Wind Ensemble in Concert Sunrise."

After the fall semester, enrollment was slightly below this mark See on page 2 Beth Bliss Staff Writer Stable Violence in North Carolina schools has dropped in six incidence cat­ egories according to the third annual North Carolina report on violence. The six categories that have de­ creased in the past year are: assault re­ sulting in serious injury (313 incidents, down from 569); possession of a firearm (206, down from 305); robbery (195, down from 325); sexual assault (190, down from 319); assault with a weapon (161 in­ cidents, down from 241); and sexual offense (146, down from 168). The de­ crease in the in­ cidents occurred mainly at the middle school level. The three most frequently occur­ ring acts continue to be possession of a controlled substance, possession of a weapon (other than a firearm) and as­ sault on a school employee. These acts together account for 85 percent of all acts committed, up from 76 percent the pre­ vious year. This report marks the first time that individual schools reported the num­ ber of incidents. Previously, each school district provided only system-wide num­ bers. The change is due to the Governor's Task Force on School Violence and the Safe Schools Act, passed by the General Assembly in 1993. The law re­ quires individual schools to contribute fig­ ures to the report. The report is issued in an attempt to find a solution to the problems with violence in schools. The report shows educators how to improve the existing conditions of violence in the schools and how to better intervene directly with the problems of violence and crime. This should aid in the School Improvement Plan which is now required of every school. "I think the school systems are safe from when I went there," said Pe­ ter Brown, a sophomore and future high school educator. "Yes, there are some crazy things that go on, but it isn't all violence." Jennifer Hackenholt, a sopho­ more and future high school English teacher had a different opinion. "I felt safe when I went to high school, but not now. I look back and see how my high school has changed. There are just too many re­ ports of vio­ lence, and it makes you think." When asked if Hackenholt was worried about violence in her future school she said, "yes, but not as scared as I should be. It won't keep me from teaching, but it will be in the back of my mind." Another prospective teacher, Louis Solomon, a junior and future high school history educator says that it de­ pends on what schools you go to. He also said that the home life of students is a big factor in school violence. "I'm worried about the prob­ lems kids bring from home," said Solomon. 'The one thing that worries me most about violence in schools is that I am not allowed to defend myself with­ out worrying about losing my job." Some of the strategies used in curbing school violence are school check-in policies, crisis management systems, surveillance systems, educat­ ing students to combat disputes, and parent involvement. "The thing that worries me is...I am not allowed to defend myself without worrying about losing my job," said Solomon. �Page 2 Judicial from page 1 2^PP^chianiiFebrua Stable continued from page 1 In addition to the proba­ tion and suspension sanctions, the board recommended that the five men found guilty of code viola­ tions perform 25 hours of commu­ nity service and receive counsel­ ing. The board recommended one student be on probation through the spring 1998 semester and three through the fall 1997 semester. Students on probation are not allowed to represent the university in any official function or leadership position. The students have four working days to file written ap­ peals to Judicial Affairs.

Vanessa Urruela Editor-in-Chief Renee Cagle Managing Editor Chris Kinner News Editor Jay Konstantaras Assistant News Editor Ryan Price Editorial Editor John Starling Features Editor Jeremy Ball Assistant Features Editor Mike Daniels Sports Editor Justin Griffin Assistant Sports Editor Bethany Parrish Photography Editor Matt Russ Writing Coach Julia Huskins Production Manager John O'Brien Business Manager There is no doubt in my mind as I write this late Monday night, that some people are going to be an­ gry when they read the punishments the University Board recommended be given to the men accused of recently raping a first-year student. As I read the press release detailing the sanc­ tions, I grew furious. Mad as hell to be exact. All I could think about was the fact that The Ap­ palachian had been so fair to the accused, writing "alleged" in headlines and stories about the case. Then I started really processing everything that I had seen and heard about the case. My mind was spinning with questions. First, why was one boy (nobody who assaults a woman is a man) completely exonerated? Why did the boys who were found guilty of "lewd and obscene conduct" only get suspended and not expelled from school? I don't want "lewd and ob­ scene" people who like to assault women on this cam­ pus, at all. They don't deserve any chance to earn a college degree. How can a mere suspension be just punishment for the behavior of these boys? Then, after I realized I couldn't answer my ques­ tions, I began to look at it in another way. There are really only seven people who know what happened in the residence hall room. They were there, participating in whatever happened willfully or not. One woman and six boys. Nobody besides those people can truly say if Viewpoint by Vanessa Urruela Editor-in-Chief someone was raped. Not one single person. So, when we get angry about the situation, do we process our emotional response intelligently? Here's the way I look at it. I would bet that O.J. Simpson is very guilty of somehow participating in the murder of his ex-wife There are really only seven people who know what happened in the residence hall room. and Ron Goldman. However, I think so because I was privy to information that the jurors didn't see during his first trial. We all were. The jurors weren't shown all the evidence that was on tv. If they had, Simpson would be rotting in jail like he probably deserves to be. So, similarly here at Appalachian, only a chosen few were in the room during all those hours when the testimony in the rape case was going on. We don't know what happened or who was present on that night. What we do know is that finally, students and other members of the Appalachian community are talking about safety. Constantly. There are some positive things that have come out of this whole situation. Though handling the case through the univer­ sity exacted a much too light punishment, at least the woman was brave enough to press charges in some way. The fact that she reported the events to the University police in the first place is a positive thing. That takes an amazing amount of guts. We should also be thankful that the university community is finally bringing an extremely serious issue to light. Never in my four years at Appalachian have I witnessed students caring so passionately about one issue. I am proud of the efforts that the university has made to educate and encourage dis­ cussion about sexual assault and other interpersonal/ relationship issues. This is an issue that has been taboo for far too long. Though I hope to God that the boys involved go home and attempt to fix whatever's wrong with their heads, I doubt that this will happen. I pity the women who will attend Appalachian in the coming years when these criminals come back to a place they don't deserve to be.

In January Lugenbeel received the .Army's Accommodation Medal for service ahove and beyond the normal scope of his duty. This award was the result of the cat program's performance in the Army's ual evaluation of cadets looking to be commissioned after graduation. Cadets are required to attend the evaluation be­ tween their junior and senior years. Appalachian's 14 cadet's did an in­ credible job. They came out first among all of the cadet programs east of the Mis­ sissippi. In two of the five categories that ca­ dets are evaluated in Appalachian's ca­ dets placed above every other cadet pro­ gram. Their performance in the other categories was top notch, as well, plac­ ing them in the top one percent. The event was held for a period of six weeks at Fort Bragg, with Lugenbeel's cadets working on infantry tactics train­ ing. Lugenbeel said that they were evalu­ ated in such areas as rifle marksmanship, physical fitness, orienteering and leader­ ship skills. All last school year, Lugenbeel trained them here, on campus. He was recognized for his training because of the astounding performance of the cadets at Fort Bragg. Two other awards were given to the cadets. One was for the Army Physical Fitness Test which includes push-ups, situps, and running. The other was basic marksmanship which involved shooting the M-16. An All Pro Award was presented to Appalachian for being above the camp average in every event and sending 14 cadets to camp. All of cadets from Appalachian re­ ceived the option of an active duty com­ mission after graduation. Lugenbeel said that is extremely rare. Thirteen of the cadets did so well that they were told that they could choose the branch they wanted to go into. The other cadet was given his second choice. "What many people don't realize, is how valuable the ROTC program is at Appalachian. We have one of the best programs in the nation witn tne Pest ben­ efits you could get," Lugenbeel said. Captain Lugenbeel has been at Appa­ lachian for two years as Assistant Profes­ sor for Military Science, Operations Of­ ficer, and MS-3 Instructor. He plans on going to Fort Campbell, Kentucky in April, where he will eventually become a Com­ pany Commander. Lugenbeel credits the program's suc­ cess this summer to three factors. First of Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski and ROTC department leaders present Capt. Brian Lugenbeel with the Army's Accommodation Medal for outstanding work with his cadets. (Photo provided by ASU News Bureau) all, "They were evaluated on infantry tac­ tics and I'm an infantry man", he said. Secondly, he said that he is much younger than most of the cadre selected to lead this type of program, so the ca­ dets were able to relate to him much bet­ ter. "When I tell them something they and instills leadership skills," he says. "When cadets leave this program, they are very prepared to accomplish their goals." If Captain Lugenbeel's training is any indication of the level of expertise among all of the cadets then the goal of national security is definitely in capable hands. know that it's probably true". Lugenbeel said that, most importantly, "I just got a lot of quality kids". Lugenbeel, obviously, has many rea­ sons to be proud of his work and of the school's program. 'This program teaches college survival Keeping dates creative QC-Tgives spring Amy Trampush Reporter Last night, were students' hearts beat­ ing fast for that special someone or did they drink too much coffee at Tradewinds? With Valentine's Day approaching, the Creative Dating lecture last night in Tradewind's Coffee Shop was a help to students who need creative new dating ideas, as well as those who desire to create-a-date before Friday. The Creative Dating lecture pre­ sented by Michael DeRosa was sponsored byAPPS. It received the 1996 lecture pro­ gram of the year award from Campus Activities Today Magazine. DeRosa is the assistant dean of Stu­ dent Development at Florida Tech and travels nationwide giving lectures to high schools, colleges, civic groups and profes­ sionals. With DeRosa's experiences from his student involvement at Florida Tech, he was able to relate to ASU students and provide an interactive and entertaining atmosphere. Many times DeRosa feels people learn more from each other in discussion than the material he presents to them. Some students arrived thinking the program was ASU's version of "Singled Out" which was definitely not the case. However, those who attended did learn how to make a good first impres­ sion, what role interpersonal communica­ tion plays in dating, the impact of alcohol and AIDS in relation to dating, ways to bring back romance, methods of breaking up, and how to make the best of a bad date. The lecture also offered suggestions for ways to impress a woman and ways to impress a man. To impress men it is help­ ful to: be independent and self-reliant, initiate conversation, allow yourself to be treated like a lady, be comfortable with his friends (but not too comfortable), and pretend you enjoy sports (which may not work too well if you don't know why you are cheering). To impress women the suggestions included: flowers, chivalrous acts, call if you will be late, check your ego at the door, and consume alcohol in a social manner only (which applies to women as well). Even if you don't follow these sug­ gestions or agree with them, Creative Dating gave students a new perspective, as well as ways to develop feelings of con­ fidence. Sometimes that's all we need. Danzig: Alive with rock cliches Jeff Simms Reporter Review/Commentary So there I was, wading amidst an ocean of people, swimming in the sea blown as Ziggy's, in Winston-Salem, at By first Danzig show. For those lesser informed, Glenn Danzig has been a punk rock icon for nearly 20 years. He founded the Misfits, quite possibly the classic punk band (a title only disputed by the likes of Black flag or the Bad Brains) in 1977, and upon their demise in 1983, started Samhain, another classic ghoul-punk band. But I digress. The point is that through all of this history, I had never seen Danzig, in any musical incarnation. So when I heard that the band was playing at Ziggy's two Fridays ago, I had no prob­ lem deciding what I'd be doing that night. Upon my arrival, I quickly realized that all of the metal essentials were fully accounted for: lots of smoke, beer, hair, screaming, and most importantly, lots of hlack. As Danzig took the stage, my world forever changed. The show began well, and in all hon­ esty, it rocked. The band was extremely hght, and Danzig has a very well-honed stage presence. The opening chords of Mother" also brought to my attention for the first time the most intriguing aspect °f the night: the girl. The girl to whom I refer had some­ how made her way out onto a platform so that she was standing a few feet above the rest of the crowd, or just high enough for Danzig to see her, her tight pants, and her tight midriff top. Every time Danzig came to the stage right area, this girl would start her sexy dance routine, all the while pointing and gyrating at the metal god himself. The two made eye contact several times, with Danzig and his tour lackeys taking turns pointing at her. One of the stage guys eventually made his way out through the crowd to the girl. I saw him talk to her for several minutes, and then give her and her friend each a piece of paper (surely with a hotel name or a phone number on it) before leaving. By now, the show was just about over, and if I didn't mention it before, it was awesome. The man and his band, metal as they may be, had played a great mix of songs from their six records and had pro­ ceeded to rock my world while doing so. As the evening came to an end, the band exited stage left just long enough to towel off before a two-song encore. It was highlighted by "She Rides," one of the better songs from the 1988 debut LR Even more interesting than that, though, was when I looked to my left and found the space previously occupied by the two girls conspicuously empty. While the band did "She Rides" and one more off the new record, dozens of scenarios raced through my head to ac­ count for the girls' absence. As the show drew to its final close, I poked around their area, expecting them to have left clues as to their whereabouts. Finding nothing but cigarettes and beer bottles, I entertained thoughts of waiting outside the club and following them, but quickly decided against it. Those kinds of things were always better left to the imagination anyway. "I don't think I can do a makeover on you, sir. Have you tried a mortician?"

The Mountaineers came out fired ia the second half as they hit on a jage of threes by Braswell and Tyson ^rson, mustering a 17-8 run and ullng a nine-point lead at 53-44. Again, [Catamounts fought back, cutting the pjto three points at 55-52. With 3:10 j in the game and the score 62-58 in stuck around to see whether or not the referees would make a final call. When they did, it was of course, in favor of the jubilant Mountaineers. Leading the way for Appalachian once again was Braswell with 26 points, hitting on five of seven three-pointers. 'Junior, being a leader, stepped up for us again," said Mountaineer Coach Buzz Peterson. "I can't say enough about the kid." Darner also chipped in 13 points. The Catamounts keyed on Damer and his three-point shooting, trying to prevent a repeat of the January 11 game, where Darner hit a three pointer to send the game into the second overtime. Darner finished the game 0-3 from behind the three-point arc, but still managed to be a thorn in the Catmounts' side. Finally starting to show some genuine signs of improvement in recent games, including Saturday's, has been seven-foot center Josh Grover. Grover led the Mountaineers in rebounds with six, and also matched that total in scoring. 'Josh Grover did a heck of a job for us today, " said Peterson of Grover's performance. Grover attributes his improved ,ur of the Apps, the Catamounts began e end-of-game fouling. The strategy uriied, as the visitors were soon able to !0t the score at 64 apiece. Kareem Livingston was fouled, id hit one of two foul shots and gave the ountaineers a 65-64 lead with 39 tonds on the clock. Western Carolina ent down the court with the ball, jempted a shot, and Catamount forward Biy Wright slammed the rebound back to give Western Carolina a short-lived, i65 advantage with five seconds left on rfcdock. After two strategic timeouts, one each team, Appalachian was finally Je to throw the ball into play. Patterson ibbled through a couple of double ams, passed to Braswell, who took a ibble and hit the game winner from pm rind the three-point arc. The shot was launched so close to the buzzer that ine in the stands and on press row performance to more playing time. "I've been a lot more comfortable getting more minutes, and getting a lot more touches on the inside," said Grover. "Coach all year has stressed not to play scared and to play with a lot of intensity. I think it helps getting a lot more minutes." With the win, the Mountaineers find themselves back in the race to stay out of the Southern Conference tournament play-in game, which goes to the four teams that finish fourth and fifth in the two conferences. The Apps are now in a tie with Davidson for third place in the North Division of the conference. "The goal right now is to get momentum going in our favor toward tournament time," Braswell commented after the game. The Mountaineers will face a stretch of games including East Tennessee State, Davidson, and The Citadel that should get them ready for their quest for an SC title. - EHU Justin Griffin Assistant Sports Editor "I'm still in shock, I don't know 1 would describe the game," said P-ard Tige Darner after Appalachian Il's 68-66 win over Western Carolina -- jday afternoon. 2,876 App fans were -, ^ shock as Junior Braswell hit a three,[er wjth a questionable 0:01 seconds •jjithe game, helping the Mountaineers jl a victory from the Catamounts.

Melissa Davis was fed the D under the basket, the shot was up and :buzzer sounded at almost the identical K it went in, but the shot was ruled sto In the first half of the game the Wildcats jumped out to a quick seven point lead, a lead they were able to hold for the largest part of the first half. The Mountaineers only lead of the first half came after an extended timeout due to a problem with the shot clock. The Mountaineers went on a 120 run with 9:25 left in the first period to go on top of the Wildcats by five. The lead did not last long for the Lady Mountaineers as Davidson mounted a run of their own.

The Wildcats came out of the locker room ready to finish what they had started, managing to hold off the Appalachian runs that would at times cut the lead to as little as two points. With only 5:55 left in the game the Wildcats extended their lead back to a commanding nine points. But the Mountaineers still had one last run left. In the last 4:46 Appalachian went on a 10-0 run, led by Melissa Davis with six points and Andreia Hinton with four, to pull the game to a 76-76 tie. With 20 seconds left in the game Meredith Thompson put Appalachian on top with a three-point basket. The game was still far from over. With eleven seconds left in regulation, the Wildcats managed to get off a three pointer of their own, and the game was once again dead even. The Mountaineers still had nine seconds to work with. After taking a timeout Appalachian began trying to work the ball into the post. The pass finally came with only a tick or two left on the clock. Melissa Davis took the shot, the buzzer sounded, it went in, but all was for naught. The referees ruled the shot too late. In the overtime period, the Mountaineers were not able to capitalize on several free throw opportunities. The Wildcats on the other hand were able to hit from both the floor and the charity stripe, outscoring the Mountaineers nine to five. Melissa Davis and Tiana Tate led the Mountaineers with 23 points and seven rebounds, and 20 points respectively. Meredith Thompson also chipped in 15 points, grabbed six rebounds, and dished out five assists. Andreia Hinton provided an extra spark off the bench with 10 rebounds and eight points. Tiffany Chappell also came off the bench, chipping in eight points. With the loss the Mountaineers fall to a conference record of six wins and three losses. Appalachian is next in action at East Tennessee State University on Saturday. The January 20 game in Boone earlier this year was a 92-61 mauling in the favor of the Mountaineers.

Although East Carolina tried to come back in the eighth, the Mountaineers held them to one run and won the match 8-7. The night before, Appalachian lost a close game to Virginia Commonwealth. At the end of nine innings, the score was knotted up at eight runs apiece. In the tenth inning things fell apart for the Mountaineers, as they lost 9-8 due to a botched routine pop fly which allowed Virginia Commonwealth to score the winning run. Sunday; before coming home, the Mountaineers got a rather nasty going-away present from Old Dominion in the form of a 15-3 loss. The first five batters in ODlTs line up ended up with17 hits, ten of those coming from freshman Joe Trolio and Sophomore Anthony Forelli. Ron Walker, third baseman for the Monarchs, cracked two home runs to demolish the Mountaineers. Andy Cheek, freshman pitcher for Appalachian, suffered the loss, giving up eight hits and six earned runs. This coming weekend, the Mountaineers will regroup and head for Greensboro to face North Carolina A&T and UNCGreensboro.

According to three separate Uni­ versity Police reports, the women said Dr. Young Mann Park "inappropriately touched" them in his office located in I.G. Greer Hall. A university police spokesperson said that a further investigation into the reports is on-going. According to university records, Park was hired in 1996 to teach in the philoso­ phy and religion department. Park was hired as a temporary re­ placement for Dr. O'Hyun Park who is cur­ rently in Japan studying Japanese religion and has been with the university for 26 years. The two men are not related. Dr. Young Mann Park is a native of Korea and a graduate of Berkeley Univer­ sity. After graduating, he was hired at Ap­ palachian. One of Park's collegues, Dr. Frans van der Bogert, said, "Dr. Park was a very seri­ ous, studious and religious man. He was very much into meditation and was very spiritual." Bogert also said that Park had a "cul­ tural misunderstanding" when it came to American society. "He did not totally understand all the customs that we have here. "He practiced Tai Chi on a regular routine and was a very non-agressive per­ son," said Bogert of Park's personality. "I think that their is a double stan­ dard with students and teachers. I don't understand why this stituation was re­ leased and covered so much more than other (similar) situations with students." Department Chairperson of Philoso­ phy and Religion Dr. Alan Hauser, said, "It is most unfortunate that this has hap­ pened and our primary concern is with the students." Aihthe/ Chancellor To get things started for what we hope will be a regular feature, 1 met with Chancellor Borkowski and asked him about a few issues important to students at Appalachian. Below are my questions and Borkowski's answers. -Vanessa Urruela, Editor-in-Chief Que^ttorv: Many students wonder exactly what a chancellor does. Could you sum­ marize your responsibilities for me, briefly? An&wer: The Chancellor plays the role of providing a vision for the University, and also having to be responsible for the uni­ versity achieving that vision. I must in­ teract with multiple constituencies, all of whom have a truly honest, vested inter­ est in the success of the university. I re­ port to a president, and a Board of Trust­ ees, and the president reports to a Board of Governors which makes policies. I also have to be sensitive to and respond to leg­ islators. Clearly, students have an impor­ tant role, as do the faculty, administrative council, and various advisory groups. Also, federal issues require response, such as proposed cuts in federal financial aid. Also, the chancellor works with benefac­ tors. So, it is the reponsibility of the chan­ cellor to listen to several constituent groups and maintain an enormous breadth of relationships. The chancellor needs to be a per­ son sensitive to the history and tradition of an institution, and establish a vision based upon those things. He or she must be a decision maker and oversee the implementation of those decisions. A chancellor must listen long and hard and be responsive to multiple constituents and communicate frequently what the univer­ sity stands for and what direction it should be going in. Questions Growth is a very controversial is­ sue on this campus. With pressure from the UNC Board of Governors to add a cer­ tain number of students and faculty on a strict timeline, what do you see in Appalachian's future. Answer: I think we have a responsibility as a public university to grow and to re­ spond to the access demands of constitu­ ents that want to take advantage of the opportunities Appalachian has to offer. I do not, however, think that we can expand dramatically in Boone. Consequently, we will need to provide programs and courses at off-campus sites. The legislature has already ap­ proved that Appalachian can offer upper division courses at three community col­ leges. We are doing that now and the re­ sponse has been positive. Soon, I will meet with community college presidents and legislators to discuss what has tran­ spired in our current outreach efforts and to see what else we can do. We now offer courses at the graduate level for teachers in the rural public schools through broadcast technol­ ogy that even provides live feedback from the remote sites.

"(Students) are innocent until proven guilty," he said. Smith said that the Student Judi­ cial Board acts upon a policy of prepon­ derance of evidence. According to Smith, the board examines if a crime was more likely to happen than not, and it is the responsibility of the accuser to prove the guilt of the accused. No lawyers are used in the process. The Student Judicial Board may also determine the punishment given to a student, Smith said. According to Smith, the punishment depends on the serious­ ness of the crime and whether or not a student has any prior record. Punishments can range from a "slap on the hand" to expulsion from the university, Smith said.

"I know you can do this," Gardner said to the frightened woman. Gardner's phrase is for everyone. Stereotypes: Are fret boys really drunken party animals? John Starling Features Editor There's plenty of "types" out there on r wonderful campus, some of which ffer from unjust stereotypes. One of the most maligned groups of ople at ASU, and at most other colleges, »fraternity brothers. Despite their best forts to do good in the eyes of the uniisity and the surrounding community, :0ple seem almost unwilling to give aese young men the high regard they fen deserve. 'You only hear the bad news of what's )ing on," says Junior Jason C. Yepko of 'ilmington. Yepko is a member of the appa Alpha fraternity. 'You don't hear about the money we ;d for charity," he continues, "or all community service hours we put in. ien one bad thing goes wrong, that's you hear about." Yepko has a valid point. The recent ry of attention due to the sexual aslts on campus, particularly the one lier this year near his fraternity's se, have brought the behavior of camGreeks under the microscope. How unfortunate it is, indeed, that idents, faculty and community memi choose to scrutinize these aspects of Greeks, especially when there's no if that any Greeks were linked to the iged assault. Interfraternity council president and u Kappa Epsilon member Mason L. uter, a senior from Charlotte, is quick point out some of the good that frater­ nities have done. They held their most successful Christ­ mas toy drive to date and participate in activities with local elementary schools. Is it fair, in the light of the positive things that fra­ ternities do, to write them off as drunkards, party animals, elitists or any other number of derogatory slurs that are often hurled at them? The answer is decidedly no. "The typical stereotype (of us) is just being wild and crazy. All you do is drink. All you do is cause trouble.' You get that a lot of times," says Senior Marc Winstead of Cary, a member of Delta Chi. The typical fraternity member is, in fact, not the party guy epitomized in Ani­ mal House. Most are consci­ entious students who, just like the rest of us, like to have a good time on occasion. Junior Kyle M. McGee of Statesville, a member of Kappa Sigma, shatters this misconception. "People don't join frater nities now for the same rea­ sons they (used to). Maybe back in the 70's they joined them to drink a lot of beer. Now you join fraternities for friendship." This friendship and ca­ maraderie are one of the more admirable aspects of fraternity life. These men These Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity brothers proudly wear their letters during one of this week's Rush events. Despite many of the stereotypes we hold about Greek men, they're not just beer drinkers and hell-raisers. They are mostly dedicated, hard-working students who like to have a good time just like the rest of us. (Photo by Dana Gardner) MAY THE FORCE BE WITH Y0U...AGAIN Jason Foster Reporter •••• • Star Wars Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher If you were born anytime in the '70s, chances are that you grew up with 'tar Wars. For me, as well as many other Gen*ation Xers, Star Wars and its sequels vere what it was all about for a period >f about eight years. Anything dealing with the subject "as good. From the classic "read along" Korybooks and records to those great knner action figures, the film provided ®y friends and I with countless hours of in the early 80s. Like many other college-age people, *hen I saw the original film on the big ^een, I didn't realize exactly what a feat that was. Star Wars was a Stoundbreaking film for many reasons was meant to be seen in a theater. It K almost impossible to truly appreciate the mix of sound and visuals otherwise. Now that George Lucas has released Star Wars: The Special Edition, we all have the chance to see the film the way it is meant to be seen and truly appreci­ ate its greatness. It doesn't matter how many times you've seen the film, viewing it this time will be like viewing it for the first time all over again. With the clean-up job done by Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic to improve the special effects and sound, coupled with the new never before seen scenes, its al­ most like watching a completely new film. The newly enhanced visual effects are nearly flawless. With the new com­ puter-graphics technology, many new creatures were able to be added to the old scenes, a process that would have previously been impossible. One major new scene is the one be­ tween Jabba the Hut and Han Solo in Docking Bay 94 of the Mos Eisley space­ port. This was shot for the original film but left out due to technical limitations. Whether people realize it or not, Star Wars set the pace for most action films we get today: big special effects, lots of chases, etc. I've heard people say that the rea­ son it has been so successful is because the common man can identify with the characters, as none of them are made out to be any kind of superhero. I don't know how true that its, but whatever the rea­ son, it has rarely been seen in movies since. What more can be said about Star Wars? It's a phenomenon that started on May 25, 1977 and has really never stopped. I don't think it ever will. In its opening weekend Star Wars: The Special Edition grossed an estimated $36.2 million. If it keeps this pace up, it will overtake E.T. and regain the crown as the highest grossing film of all time in a matter of weeks. As everybody now knows, its two sequels will also be re-released with new footage and redone ef­ fects. The Empire Strikes Back will be out on February 21and Return of the Jedi will be released on March 7. The latter will feature a brand new musical number in Jabba's palace as well as a new ending. Folks, Star Wars is officially back. Please, if you don't remember what it was like to see the film in a theater, go see it the way its meant to be seen. Don't just watch it, experience it. You will be sur­ prised how quickly it can take you down memory lane and remind you of all the fun you had with it. Star Wars has stood the test of time. How many other films that came out in 1977 can you name of the top of your head? Its a great film for many reasons, too many to cover them all. I'm just glad its back for us all to see again, and for a new generation to see for the first time. form special bonds that go with them wherever they may go in life. "It's more than just 50 or 60 broth­ ers," says McGee. "You have brothers all over the nation. We all have something in common." 'There's the brotherhood, a type of family feeling that goes along with (being in a fraternity). Within a group of differ­ ent people you find a common bond," says Yepko. This bond seems to sport an elitist tag to those outside the fraternity. This is one stereotype that seems to plague Greeks, like Junior Steve T. Sack, a Sigma Phi Ep­ silon member from Boone. "Some people expect that just-because you're in a fraternity that you're not going to talk to other people who aren't Greek, or that you're not going to be just as nice to them as you would be to one of your brothers," says Sack. ! "Look at it for what it is," says Yepko. "It's a social group, a brotherhood." The hazing problem lingers in conf junction with almost any conversation about fraternities, as well, thoughReuter emphasizes that ASU fraternities enforce a strict anti-hazing policy. j Winstead elaborates on this. "People think that all fraternities haze. It's jusj not done." ; Reuter sums up the problem with ste­ reotypes in general. "It's so much easier to stereotype a lot of people than it is to actually get to know them and find out what they're about as a person. "I get upset when people confront me about being in a fraternity because they don't know me. All they see are the let­ ters that I wear on my chest. "Get to know me before you curse me," fee says.

Aether or not Junior Braswell is pouring double digit scores, there is no doubt L he shows up for every game. Many watch Braswell's ^nnerisms on the court and from the lack i j smiles and emotion, get the idea that Mjor has a bad attitude. "I don't smile jut much, it's just not in my personality," j gid Braswell. Appalachian Coach Buzz person hears about it also. "A lot of people ask me, 'Hey, have wU gotten Junior Braswell's attitude lightened out?'" said Peterson. "Junior -ell really doesn't have a bad attitude, 'junior's got a great attitude. He's a great in." For the past couple of years, ell, who by the way is not related to j^ry Braswell at Wake Forest, has been uhe glue holding together the Kountaineers. This year, he's doing whatever he can to win, whereas last season he was doing whatever he could [0at least keep the game respectable. Junior, whose real name is John, tarted getting called 'Junior" when he cas a toddler; the name 'Junior" is not ,ywhere in Braswell's real name. "When iensity- I was a little kid my father would come around and he always called me Junior. The name stuck." Coming from one of the rougher neighborhoods Greensboro, and a single parent home, Braswell started honing his game at an early age by playing pick up games with Tonya, his sister. Tonya was quite a talent h e r s e l f , many times playing in w games where she was the only girl on the court. Tonya was looked at by quite a few programs, and ended up at Bennett College. Her career was cut short by pregnancy. The games with his sister got Junior ready for high school competition, as he found himself lettering three years at Page High School, one of North Carolina's perennial powerhouses in basketball. During Braswell's reign at Page, the Pirates captured conference titles his junior and senior years, and compiled a 67-16 record, losing only one conference game his senior year. On top of everything else, Braswell garnered All-Conference honors his junior and senior years, and ended up in the prestigious North Carolina East-West All-Star Game. For some reason the accolades and achievement didn't prove to be enough to attract much attention if from many colleges, which was | why Appalachian was able to make a steal. Other schools became interested after the East-West game, but it was too late; Braswell had already signed the papers to become a Mountaineer. Off the court, Braswell is criminal justice major who last semester carried a 3.37 grade point average. Once his basketball career ends, whether its after college, grad school, or after a professional career, Braswell plans to use his degree to help kids that are in the same position he found himself in at an earlier age. "There are a lot of kids out there that can do good things. They just need a positive role model," Braswell explained. "I understand since I came from a similar situation." As for the possibility of playing basketball professionally, Braswell doesn't rule it out, but he doesn't count on it either. "If they come, they come, but sometimes those big dreams don't happen," Braswell remarked. The biggest help to Braswell this year on the court has been the arrival of freshman Tyson Patterson, whom Braswell often refers to as his little brother. Patterson, has taken over the role of point guard, allowing Braswell to better utilize his scoring abilities as a two-guard. "The change frees me up, and it gives me more looks at the basket," said Braswell. As for the future of the Mountaineer basketball team, Braswell see Junior page 9 Apps fall again at VMI Maurice Spencer and Darryl Faulkner was too much for the Mountaineers as the two stars accounted for 47 of VMI's points, and all nine of the Keydet threepointers. On the night Spencer scored "I don't know what motivates 29 points and dished out five assists, these kids. I've tried everything," said a while Faulkner poured in 18 points and thoroughly irritated Appalachian Coach six assists.

"Things are going in the right direction with the coaching staff in place. It's all going to start with Tyson," said Braswell.

The end of the 1996 football year marked two things, Green Bay winning the Super Bowl for the first time in over 30 years and a mass exodus of coaches from both good and bad teams. The question to ask is, "Why does all the blame fall on the head coach." After another hapless season in New Jersey, the Jets once again posted a losing record causing Rich Kotite to get the hook. Granted Kotite is no Vince Lombardi but it was his talent that failed the team, not the coaching. Neil O'Donnell, who led the Steelers to a Super Bowl one year ago, was injured most of the year and ineffective the rest of the time. Keyshawn Johnson, the number one selection in the draft, had a big ego and couldn't back it up on the playing field. Management should take a majority of the blame as they have picked a number of busts in the last five drafts, leaving the Jets with little to no good young talent. Do you remember Blair Thomas? I thought not. He is probably pumping gas somewhere in Montana. Let's now travel to San Francisco where George Seifert, the coach with the best winning percentage in the last five years, was forced to retire. He led the 49ers to two Super Bowl victories, numerous championship games, and made the playoffs every year Nick Berry Reporter sports commentary during his tenure. San Francisco was almost back to championship form, but management continued to let them down. By letting Ricky Watters slip through their fingers, the 49ers were left with Dexter Carter to carry the load. Joe Montana couldn't win without Roger Craig, so how is Steve Young supposed to win without Ricky Watters? Both Steve Young and Jerry Rice have been their usual stellar selves and the defense continues to be one of the best. Seifert did not deserve to have to resign for some unproven University of California coach who had a hard enough time winning in the college ranks. Do you remember California being in one of the alliance bowls? I don't either. Finally, I will move on to Minnesota. Dennis Green has coached his butt off for the Twin Cities and led them to the playoff's almost every year of his career. Yet once Lou Holtz retired the press barraged Green with rumors of Holtz becoming the coach next year. Green has managed to win with a 41-year old quarterback and a former UPS driver, Scotty Graham, as their running back. Can you remember the last time the Vikings got an impact draft pick? Management has failed the coach yet he is left to blame. Everyone from John Randle to Cris Carter have praised Dennis Green for his rapport with the players as well as his desire to win. It is unreasonable for the owners to think he must take the Vikings to the Super Bowl with the talent they have. Players and management need to start taking some blame for losses and not just the coaches. Look at the Miami Dolphins; Jimmy Johnson got paid millions to come in and revamp the organization and get them to the Super Bowl yet they failed to make the playoffs. Don Shula didn't have that problem with lesser talent than Johnson had. Players win games not coaches. The proof is with Barry Switzer, if he can do it anyone can. Hopefully, the Green Bay Packers won't fire Mike Holmgren next year if the Pack doesn't repeat. �The Appalachian 6 February Advertise in The Appalachian!

Borkowski has appointed a committee to study student life. The Task Force on Student Life will consist of 18 people who are yet to be selected. Brad Reid, director of Hous­ ing Operations, has been appointed cochair of the committee along with Marva McKinnon, a board of trustees member from Statesville. Reid said that he has recommended eight candidates for the task force to Chancellor Borkowski. The task force will consist of fac­ munity meeting" tonight at 9:30 in all 18 residence halls.

"[It could] take several of these discussions, but I hope this will open the doors and create new awareness among students," Reid said. According to Reid, task force meetings will be open to the public. Meet­ ing times will be posted around campus and anyone interested is invited to attend. Reid stressed that all students' opinions will be taken into consideration, not just the opinions of students on the task force. Wal-Mart opens, Boone residents flock to store Jeff Sprouse Staff Writer u WAL*M ART "We don't want all the business in town. We just want about 95% of it," said Terry Farr, vice president of WalMart. The day has finally come: after months of initial debate, construction and preparation, Boone has a Wal-Mart. With a full parking lot and several hundred spectators, the grand opening celebration officially kicked off Wednesday at 8:00 a.m. The ceremony began with a prayer and a rendition of the National Anthem by Jimmy Townsend, a store em­ ployee. Joe Ratcliff, the store manager, then ran through a slew of introductions. Included in the list were Velma Burnley,. Boone mayor, Terry Farr, vice president of Wal-Mart, Jimmy Hodges, county com­ missioner and Pam Archer, exercise guru, who was there with her latest exercise video. After a brief speech by Terry Farr, it was time for the ribbon cutting. To dem­ onstrate Wal-Mart's commitment to fam­ ily, the ribbon was cut by Benny and Suby Ratliff, parents of the store manager. Af­ ter much applause, the ASU cheerlead­ moms and dads snatched up Match-Box cars for 84 cents, and Star Wars fans pushed and shoved for the latest line of merchandise. Amid the chaos, Wal-Mart associates walked the store in an excited daze. Besides the extra-low prices, sev­ eral semi-celebrities were on hand to greet Tom Richards, star of the TV show "Fish­ ing with Tom Richards," was present dol­ ing out fishing tips. As if that were not enough, a plethora of popular characters such as Garfield, Chester the Cheetah, the Vision Care Bear, clowns and the Energizer Wolf's Lair, brought Spirit, a two and a half year old purebred timber wolf. "Spirit is very gentle and loving. She's very people oriented." When asked why there was so much fanfare, Joe Ratcliff, the store man­ ager said, "We want Wal-Mart to be fam­ ers led the crowd in the official Wal-Mart cheer. Then the ropes were hastily taken down and the mass of consumers was unleashed on the store. The shoppers rushed to the ad­ vertised specials. A shopping cart traffic jam formed around the soft drink section where two-liter bottles of Coke products were on sale for 50 cents. Another busy spot was the toy department, where the customers. David Browning, a "Barney Fife" impersonator, worked the crowd and handed out autographs. When asked his opinion on the impact of Wal-Mart on the community, he stated, "When the one opened in my community, the other big retailers were a ghost town for a couple months." Archer, fitness expert, was there. Bunny roamed the store spreading cheer. The Energizer Bunny, while outside get­ ting some air and catching a smoke, stated "I did about three-hundred and fifty of these things last year. I enjoy it." Adding to the circus-like atmo­ sphere were several displays of wild ani­ mals in the pet department. The Genesis Animal Sanctuary of Beech Mountain had their owls and hawks. Brenda Clark, of ily oriented. Most importantly, we want your shopping experience to be fun. We want Wal-Mart to be your entertain­ ment!" If you go, be prepared for lots of people and lots of traffic. WalMart will have extra staff on hand to handle the crowd. If you want to take a shortcut, try going through the K-Mart parking lot, for it's sure to be empty. s f taw* I ...j- Search and Seizure: One year later called in by residents and security assis­ tants, says that while the police have made more searches, they have made no offi­ cial arrests. Instead, they turn matters over to the Student Judiciary Committee. The It has been close to a year since offender is written a university citation, the University instated the current search then the case is handled by the student and seizure policy.

If the offender is found guilty by the student courts, he or she faces four months of specific probation. This includes the performance of 25 hours of commu­ nity service, the payment of a $25 service fee which helps to pay for drug and alco­ hol education and the completion of a university-sanctioned drug education workshop. Has the new policy reduced drug use among campus housing residents? If the results of an informal poll taken in front of East hall are correct, the answer is no. Almost all of the respondents say they or people they know still use the same amount of drugs. They are just more care­ ful. Some have resorted to an elabo­ rate system of stealth prior to smoking. First, a towel is placed underneath the door to stop the odor from escaping. Then a fan is turned on next to an open win­ dow. While smoking, a device known as a "blow me" or "jimmy" is employed. Home­ made, these devices consist of a cardboard paper towel tube with dryer sheets stuffed inside. This effectively masks the pungent odor of the smoke. The more creative use empty shampoo botdes with holes in the bottom, for they are more easily con­ cealed. Others restrict their activities to off campus. While the chance of detection is less, the penalty for getting caught is much greater. The North Carolina justice system can impose heavy fines, longer community service and probation, and in some instances, a jail sentence. It is clear that the policy has had a dramatic effect on the number of resi­ dence hall students getting caught using illicit substances. In that regard, the policy has been successful. But has it reduced overall drug use? Probably not. Instead, drug using students are employing inge­ nuity and stealth to overcome what they see as an oppressive policy. �Page 2 The Appalachian 4 Fehn^. j «ew Library becoming a reality Dannv Sink Staff Writer Staff Writer portion (will) be state funded," said Mitchell.

"It is to exercise power. It is to exer­ cise control. It is demeaning. It is a debasement of all that is right and good in human kind." Borkowski went on to say how "intolerable" the act of rape is and that Appalachian State would not stand for this kind of disgusting behavior. "Rape is a criminal act and a felony. The perpetrator of the crime is indeed libel to imprison­ ment," added Borkowski. Questions were asked by students to the panel about any safety concerns that they had. Some of the questions were raised about previous events like the rape of the girl last week in a residence hall. An Appalachian Commu­ nity Meeting was held last night, for the purpose of informing the student community about the growing concern over the safety is­ sues on campus. The meeting was in the form of a question and answer ses­ sion from a panel of student lead­ ers on the Vice Chancellor's Lead­ ership Cabinet. The panel con­ sisted of Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski, SGA President Kaye Cranford, Vice President Todd Poole, Editor-in-Chief Vanessa Urruela, BSA President Vontrell Roundtree, CRSA President Kim Uyttenhove and Interfraternity Council President Mason Reuter.

I am constrained by law not to say certain things." Students were also con­ cerned with rumors floating around campus about the crimes. Kaye Cranford said in response, "If you are unsure of a rumor then call the administration or the vice chancellor's office. They will all be more than happy to help you and give you the right information." An idea was also raised for implementing a mandatory Fresh­ man Seminar course, which would have a program about safety in the curriculum. Borkowski said he would be happy to agree with this if it was proposed. In closing the panel's over­ all reaction was to hope that the students could pull together as a community. m i i n * Todd Poole summed up the panel by saying, "Appalachian is a safe campus. It is not 100 per­ cent safe. We need to come to­ gether as a community to deal with this situation." Borkowski also said, "The students have enormous power over each other and can help each other." .Several programs are coming to campus dealing with safety concerns. Teach-ins will be held in the residence halls on Feb. 4 at 9:30. The halls will be locked and programs held on safety. On Feb. 11 Debbie Gardner, of the Survive Institute, will hold a seminar in "personal protection against violent crime for men and women." This will be held in Farthing Auditorium from 7-10 p.m. Admission is free and all students are encouraged to go.

Many voices, one newspaper Here at The Appalachian, the Editorial staff has repeatedly criticized for not representing the Kersity of views on this campus. To try to approach this "problem" we held a 1(jent media forum at the beginning of the year 'dnot ONE person showed up that wasn't on the jf or the radio station staff. How can we know jjat readers think unless we hear from them? Last semester we also conducted phone surveys ^ut the campus media with tons of help from 15, The APP's staff. According to the hundreds of jdents we called, most liked the newspaper and jought we were doing a good job. The students bo did have complaints were direct in telling us bat they were. We have and are continuing to ,prove accordingly. While we welcome criticism and promote dislSsion and a variety of views, we feel that stujnts need to realize that we are a "student" news- 'If I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.' -Eubie Blake Opinion IS t m OFF HIGHWAY 421? n Viewpoint John Starling Features Editor n JCl. The Editorial board tries to provide a forum .student views and how issues (national and lo­ ll) affect our lives as temporary residents here at ppalachian. Our staff itself is very diverse. Geographically ehail from locations from as far away as Venezua all the way to New Jersey. We range in age from 18 year-old freshmen to 25 year-old veteran. Politically we range from an avowed commujt to a libertarian. Most of us aren't communication majors, in fact, t are english, history, business, and education ajors just to name a few. While, as students have pointed out, we are at The New York Times, we have never claimed i be. We do however, try to provide the student ady with well-written, well-researched and inter­ ring articles and columns. Throughout virtually every issue of The Appathian, there are "fake" ads soliciting students to tcome involved. When we create these to fill space le don't purposely leave out any groups. In fact, «often advertise groups none of us belong to. Any individual on this campus is welcome to ecome involved in our newspaper, either through hotography, writing, copy-editing or layout. People who complain about the lack of diverity should do something about it; mainly, become lvolved. We can't employ pe'ople from all backrounds to write unless they show an interest in oing so. Something people don't seem to understand is hat the students writing in the Opinion section are loing just that. Expressing THEIR opinion. The coverage of stories and events in the Etc. ection are products of ideas presented by students nd prior knowledge to an upcoming event. We an't exactly cover events that we don't know anyhing about. To coin a phrase from last semester's "Great lonspiracy Theory" series, there is no conspiracy n decisions made as to what is covered and what snot. We welcome Letters to the Editor and wholeleartedly encourage members of the Appalachian Mnmunity to become more involved with THEIR lewspaper. One last thing, thanks to those who do give us eedback, both positive and negative. Without your nput we may not know which direction to take Ward improvement. Warning. Failure to understand sarcasm may result in a tragic misinterpretation of this opinion (and I emphasize opinion) article. Since most of you out there haven't even the slightest comprehension of such a device, I warn you not to read any further, as you may become enraged for absolutely no rea­ son at all. If you do get pissed anyway, it won't be anything new. The characters in this piece have been left intentionally ambiguous so you can think for a change. This story is just another blatent attempt to cash in on the Star Wars revival, so, if you can take it, kick back and enjoy. "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away:" Star Wars isn't so long ago or as far away as I once thought. After spending the better part of two years at this institution (mental, educational, finan­ cial depending on your perspective), I have finally realized that there are those out there who view this school as nothing more than a little galaxy. It's got its own sinister Galactic Empire and even a nifty little Rebel Alliance. Hell, at this point in the year it even feels like Hoth outside. (That's the ice planet from The Empire Strikes Back in case you don't know.) As in the movie, it's pretty cool to hate the Em­ pire in our neck of the woods. You have to be on the lookout for the Stormtroopers who of course never do what they're supposed to (uphold some semblance of order) but pillage and violate our personal busi­ ness. But they're not the ones most people are con­ cerned with. Let's shift our attention to Lord Darth Vader. Through the whole trilogy, I can't remember a single instance where this character did something so ty­ rannical that I absolutely hated him. We do discover at the end that, despite our dark perception of him, he really is a good guy, with plenty of the Force left in him. Screw the Dark Side. Of course every tyrant has to have his squad of goons. There are those admirals and whatnot that follow the Dark Lord's every whim, though in the movies all I can remember him doing is find Luke Skywalker, speed up work on the Death Star and catch the Millenium Falcon. That's a whole lotta bad stuff, huh guys? But inspite of this seemingly gentile work, there is a rebellion, constantly bickering over what action to take against the Empire depending on what fac­ tion they represent. There's people like the Bothan spies who seem to think that everything that goes on on this campus is their priority to know about. And they somehow find stuff to mess with. Who knows, they might find plans to blow up our Death Star yet. I also have yet to figure out what the hell they were rebelling about in the first place. Then there's the main characters like Han Solo. He talks a good fight and look good to everyone but what does he really do throughout the whole series? Nothing. Sure he comes up from behind to save Luke from Darth Vader (something Luke could have probably managed on his own), but he eventually gets frozen in carbonite and can't do anything for a while. What a great hero. Let's not forget the friend that Han was awfully suspicious of for no reason at all: Lando Calrissian. This is a particularly important character in our little galaxy because he's the only one of his kind: an eth­ nic character in outer space. What a crock. Lando is so crucial to the whole story. Let's no forget that he Hate the was one of the primary organizers in saving Han ass from the "clutches of the vile gangster, Jabba th Hut." The whole rebellion might not have been ne essary if they'd had more brothers in space. Land knew how to take care of business. It only took on movie with him as a primary contributor to the R bellion for the Empire to crumble. How bout that C3-PO is representative of any educated clas He knows his stuff but he ends up talking over e eryone else's heads and has a hard time getting any attention until he gets blown to pieces.

Had he been rejecting a request to use the facili; ties for something other than the purpose for whicH they were built and dedicated, I would back him fully. What he was rejecting, however, was a creation of God who was being moved by the Holy Spirit to unite with other Christians. These actions do not appear to be Christian in nature, much less the actions of & man of God. It is my sincere hope that the view of the entire organization is not reflected by the position of thii one advisor. Any organization that holds this view would only serve as a "museum for the saints" and not a "hospital for the sinners." • What purpose should our missions serve if not to reach out to those who need help and lead therp to Christ?

It has changed along with the judents, and its resurrection from the pd has been nothing short of miracu- ms. According to a Campus Media Surgy 43 percent of the students at Appadiian tune in to the APR while 35 permt tune in to the regular format, main­ tain alternative. This survey shows a dramatic injease in the number of students tuning compared to statistics compiled from search conducted in April of 1995, ihich found only five percent of campus be listening. Station Manager Jonathan Mauney attributes the turnaround to the staff. He says that their high level of pride and pro­ fessionalism has made all the difference. "It's the result of a year and a half of hard work and dedication of everyone at the APP" says Mauney. Programming Director and host of the House of Ska, Nicole Triche, adds, "there is a great deal of loyalty to the station shared by the staff, and motivation to keep on top." Relying on radio industry magazines such as Radio and Records (R&R), Col­ lege Music Journal (CMJ) and Billboard Magazine to follow current trends, the sta­ tion has taken listeners away from the commercial stations in Charlotte and Win­ ston-Salem. "What separates the APP from stations like 106.5 The End, is that we are willing to take chances on a single before the other stations put it into heavy rotation. An example being No Doubt's "Excuse Me Mister," which is just now finding heavy air play on the commercial stations. "The APP started playing it in the spring of 96," says Mauney. Besides the station's regular format, the APP also offers a wide range of spe­ cialty shows ranging from classical, soul, punk and bluegrass to heavy metal and country. Other programming includes 12:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. newscasts, live coverage of athletics, and talk forums that discuss current issues facing our campus. The station's promotions department offers many giveaways and contests on the air via live remote throughout campus. This semester the promotions director, Brooke Kurek, has two contests currently on tap, including a spring break trip to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, and a Matchbox Date for Valentine's Day. Anyone interested in getting involved with the station this semester or in the future should contact Jonathan Mauney at 262-3170. Without the efforts of stu­ dents, the station would not exist, which is all the more reason to keep your dial tuned to 90.5 FM The APR BLOOD DRIVE Free movie channel here': — AROUND l\,P.P.S. Films brings it and more on-campus — THE CORNER Darin Glass Staff Writer Jeremy Ball A s s i s t a n t F e a t u r e s Editor Are you tired of the same old stuff in television? Well, if you like movies then you're in luck starting next week. APPS Films will be sponsoring an addition to the cable services offered to on- campus students in the form of a movie channel. Landon M. Pratt, a senior from Kingsport, TN. and the chairperson of APPS Films said that his council was apached by the company which cur­ tly supplies it with movies, Films Inc., ith an offer that they couldn't refuse. The company offered to supply the council with roughly twelve additional ivies per month, which could be shown Pratt says that he hopes to publish the over the cable system, for free. The films will be selected by the Films films schedule in the Appalachian. The remaining two films will be council each month from a list that the shown in I.G.

Pratt says that he is excited about the are also opportunities for different kinds new offer to students because the films of movies, as well. "The movies tend to be pretty recent, will be picked by students. So if you want to see a movie shown but we're going to try to mix it up a lot". Pratt says that means that there will on campus or you get tired of what's be opportunities for educational films to shown, then join the APPS Films couricfl be shown and possible themes to be ex­ and help make the decisions. plored, such as an AIDS awareness films week or minority films week. He said that because they received the films basically free of charge the council will not be concerned at all with revenue expectations and can, therefore, offer more variety. Approximately ten films will be shown a month. All of the films will be shown each week but the times at which they will be shown will vary from week to week. Blood and ice cream. The two will go together on Feb. 19 in the Student Union as the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) and Alpha Phi Omega co-sponser this semester's Blood Drive. WASU is helping the cause of giving blood with a cool treat. Giving one pint of blood will get you a certificate for free Haagen-Dazs ice cream. It will be hard to top last semester's extraordinary turn out with 180 people coming out and giving 162 pints of blood but the sponsers are hopeful for a great outcome. "Last semester I was very pleased with the showing of all the students and I hope that even more new students will come out," said Bethany Biesecker of PRSSA who helped with the program last semester. PRSSA member, Jodi Quinn, said of the positive experience last semester, "All the people that gave blood were really great and all the nurses that helped out were a hoot." The time of the Blood Drive has changed somewhat this semester to bet­ ter accommodate people and to try to get more people in. It will go from 9 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. in the Grandfather Moun­ tain Ballroom in the Student Union. "We hope that this time change will get the morning crowd in and try to get the lingering people in the afternoon," said Amy Parsons who is helping coordinate the event for PRSSA. Parsons also said, "It is so hard to get everybody in that wants to give blood in one day. But I hope that everyone includ­ ing faculty will come out and help for a good cause." Techno rap meets pop, Widespread Panic blows up John Starling F e a t u r e s Editor Urban music seems to have finally made its way into mass acceptance. Not that rap wasn't already a popu­ lar phenomenon or that techno wasn't the dance music of choice for the under­ ground Itiddies, most of these types of music re­ mained in the privilleged possession of an elite clique of urbanites. Since late last year, the fusion of these musics with other marketable trends in the industry has become one of the big­ gest money makers (and some of the hippest tunes to dig, man). Who could've guessed that Prodigy tvould've had a successful single with "Firestarter"? Or that Luscious Jackson's disco-infected rock would be selling so Well? No one. This mass acceptance, al­ though, is a far cry from being an indica­ tor of the quality of the music being put out. Accordingly, it's only natural that a whole new crop of musicians come to the forefront to strut their stuff. Tricky and Bloodhound Gang are a couple of the young pups forging the way for urban music (or trying to, anyway) to suburbia. Tricky lives up to its name and that of its album, Pre-Millenium Tension. It's hard to figure these guys out as they bounce between styles like ambient, rap, reggae and electronic rock with the kind of uneasiness that shows their youth. The lead track, "Vent", contains an obvious nod to old-school rap with the line "Don't push me cause I'm close to the odge." If you don't recognize that, cry for missing your youth. On the whole, Tricky's Tension is a fair release that shows a load of promise. Can't wait for the next one. Bloodhound Gang, on the other hand, shows little to no promise. The only fhing that could save these guys would be a long stay in a kennel. The big single from this horrible band is the rip-off filled (it may be a tribute for all I know, but it still stinks) "Fire Water Burn." Thanks for admitting that you're middle school in the midst of rap refer­ ences and Pixies (huh?) plagiarism. We could have figured out your age on our own. Besides slaughtering Run DMC's "It's Tricky", there's really nothing to note on this one. In the spirit of this popularization and reinvention of urban music for suburbia, older stars, such as David Bowie, have added a little bounce to their road-tested formulas. Bowie's new album, Earthling, shows the Thin White Duke in his new guise of a raver, with his ever present sense of fash­ ion flailing madly on the cover and in the music. His new single, the far too long "Little Wonder", shows his blending of pop and techno into an almost passable mix. Other tracks of note include "Telling Lies" and "I'm Afraid of Americans", the latter cowritten by Brian Eno. Earthling is the kind of album that could pass as entertaining at an all-night dance party, but has considerable trouble holding its own in the Discman. Though not horrible, it's a must only for Bowie fans and rave kids. Matt Russ Writing Coach bombs and butterflies is an appropri­ ate title for the new disc released by the band of instrumental entrepreneurs bet­ ter known as Widespread Panic. In their eloquent and harmonic style they drop bombs amidst pleasant butterflies. This new CD comes at you with the good ole' familiar driving rhythms for which they are so well known. John Herman's keyboarding is excep­ tional and John Bell's guitar work is just as powerfully driven as always. The rest of the band finds their own unique niche just as expected, rounding out a truly in­ novative sound. The characteristic musicality of "Rebirtha" is riveting, while "Happy" gives you that feel-good aspect ever present in the Panic. The creatively catchy lyrics on "You Got Yours" and "Greta" are token Widespread. This bomb has exploded four stars.

Sports Appalachian's intramural Ail-Americans Kathy Beam Staff Writer Last year, Bad Company went all the way to the national flag football championship, only to lose in the final game. In November, as Appalachian State's co-ed flag football champs for a second year in a row, Bad Company traveled to Wilmington to play the best in the state. And as before they won the honor of playing on the national level. From Dec. 26 to Jan. 2 Bad Company v/as in New Orleans playing co­ ed flag football teams from all over the nation, including some ACC teams from this region. There were 29 teams in all competing for the flag-football national championship in Superdome, the same place where the Florida Gators and Green Bay Packers won their championships this season. Unfortunately, the team from Appalachian again met with heartbreak, losing to the University of Nebraska in the championship game by the score of 2118. A bright spot to trip was that Bad Company had five players named first string Ail-Americans and two named as second stringers. The first stringers were Lynn McDougald, April Caldwell, Scott Smith, Kimberley Andrews and Marcus Kirby. The two second stringers were Kristy-Ann Hamilton and Rob Elenburg. Bad Company's women are Amy Hale, Hamilton, Beth Tilley, Erin Hidell, Staci Langley, Caldwell, Jennifer Manuel and Andrews. The men are Micheal Bond, Kirby, Elenburg, Scott Stillwell, Lynn McDougald, Mac Hodges, Smith and Michael Bowman. Also taking home Ail-American honors from New Orleans was official Jason James, who has worked for the Intramural department at Appalachian State for the past three years. James was chosen to be a referee for the Women's National Flag Football Championship and traveled to New Orleans in December along with Bad Company. James was one of 20 officials out of 96 selected as an All-American. Two teams will be representing Appalachian State in the Schick Super Hoops Regional Tournament. The Schick Super Hoops Tournament is a three-onthree basketball competition. Teams compete within their own schools to win a shot at the regional tournament. The regional tournament is held on the campus of East Carolina University, where Appalachian's representatives will compete against more than 25 champions from different campuses across North Carolina. One team is Ostrich Mayhem consisting of Brad Apple, Shannon Hollar, Derek Rogers and Todd Ford. They battled their way to the top against 26 other teams. The other team is the Cheerleaders with Maria Poindexter, Emily Mustin and Amy Jean Rorrer. They had to defeat five womens' team to compete in the regional tournament which will be held Feb. 21-22.

I'll tell you right now I didn't, and I don't even think the players involved did because most of them were to busy laying out on the sidelines getting a tan and drinking pina coladas. Of all the All-Star games in the four professional sports, football's clash between the best is always the worst. Reason: It is held after, not in the middle of, the regular season. These players have just finished five months of long days on the practice field, hard hits and painful injuries. What do you think they want to do after all that, hit each other some? Of course not. These guys want a vacation and the NFL gives it to them by sending them to Hawaii of all places to supposedly play a competitive football game. I mean, would you be inspired to go out and play your best while being surrounded by sun, surf and free fun paid for by someone else. If the NFL is going to hold the Pro Bowl after the season is over, at least put the game somewhere where the players involved will concentrate on it a little more. I think Green Bay would be the perfect spot. Its cold and miserable there with absolutely nothing to do. I seriously doubt you'll see a lot of these guys laid out on the frosty beaches of Lake Superior in the middle of winter. Besides, how could you not think about anything else except football in the mythical confines of Lambeau Field. Just the name evokes mental images of bonecrunching hits and great plays. However, I think a better way to make the Pro Bowl more competitive would be to have it during the pre-season in August. At that time of year the players are just starting to gear up for the season and getting excited about the promise of leveling somebody. The players would play at much a higher level if the game were held say, a week before the start of the season. The only problem with this is that the Pro Bowlers would be players voted to the squads from the season before. Of course, ideally the game see Pro Bowl page 10 a team get 15 offensive rebounds in five minutes, you are going to have a hard time winning," said Peterson afterwards. Leading the effort for the The Appalachian State men's basketball team has shown its fans this Mountaineers was senior Junior season that it has come a long way since Braswell with 21 points, five rebounds and five assists.

Mountaineers in the However, Coach rebounding department Buzz Peterson still has a lot with seven. of improvements to make Livingston fouled out before this team becomes for the third time this one of the elite squads of year after putting in 26 the Southern Conference minutes of hard work for again. This fact was made the Apps. "Its clear to the Mountaineers unfortunate we weren't this past weekend when Livingston able to use him more," they lost to conference powerhouse Tennessee-Chattanooga Peterson remarked after the game. The loss can't be considered too Saturday night in Chattanooga by the score of 70-57 in game that wasn't even much of a letdown given the recognition UTC Arena, or as it's frequently called, that close.

"Whenever you let see Basketball page 10 �Page 10 The Appalachian 4 February r Pro Bowl from page 9 should be played in the middle of the season the way baseball, basketball and hockey do it. But in the NFL that would probably not work very well because the players would hit each other even less than they do now.

"We wanted to beat West­ ern so badly tonight,' said Appa­ lachian State Coach Linda Robinson after the Mountaineer's 78-57 victory over the Catamounts of Western Carolina Saturday. "Since I have been coach­ ing I've never had to prepare a team to play Western after a loss." The Catamounts hung tough in the first half, going in the locker room down by only two before collaps­ ing in the second half, losing to the Apps by 21. The Mountaineers came out with a mission, to avenge the Catamounts for the 72-70 defeat earlier this season in Cullowhee. The first half of the game was a see-saw battle with the lead being traded 11 different times and tied on six occasions. The largest lead of the first half was a five point advantage for the Cata­ mounts with 3:23 left on the clock. The Mountaineers ended the half on a 9-2 run to take a two point lead into the locker-room. The second half opened up looking much like the first as the Catamounts were able to tie the game twice in the first four and a half minutes. However, after the 15:11 mark, the Catamounts might The Mountaineers Merideth Thompson gets ready to drive for two against Western Carolina Saturday, (photo by Dana Gardner) 26 in second half, extending their winning streak to five games. The Mountaineers had three players in the game score in double digits. Meredith Thompson led the way with 21 points, pulling down 10 rebounds and dishing out nine assists. "Meredith Thompson does everything for us," Robinson as well have started warming up the bus. The Mountaineers went on a 15-3 run, sparked by threepointers from Melissa Davis and Meredith Thompson. The Mountaineers ended up outscoring the Catamounts 45- remarked after the game. "She sure put a stretch on them defen­ sively. I'm certainly glad she's on our team." Andreia Hinton added 16 to the team total along with 13 from Tiana Tate. Erica Mathies added a bit of a spark on the boards, grabbing eight rebounds and pouring in nine points. Mel­ issa Davis also chipped in nine points, nine rebounds and five as­ sists. The Mountaineer's next game will be Feb. 8, against the Wildcats of Davidson. Tip-off time is set for noon and Sports South will televise the game.

The Code of Student Conduct prohibits students from engaging in, among other things, lewd, indecent or obscene conduct and forcible or non-forc­ ible sex offenses. North Carolina law sets no time limitations on filing felony charges. Uni­ versity administrative action does not pre­ clude the possibility of criminal charges. The investigation by university police is continuing. Under the code, defendants have the option of (1) pleading innocent and having charges heard before a nine-mem­ ber university Judicial Board comprised of faculty members, students, Office of Student Development personnel and the dean of the defendant's college or (2) pleading guilty and accepting administra­ tively imposed sanctions.

Appalachian community talks about safety Darin Glass Staff Writer An Appalachian Community Meeting was held last night, for the pur­ pose of informing the student community about the growing concern over the safety issues on campus. The meeting was in the form of a question and answer session from a panel of student leaders on the Vice Chancellor's Leadership Cabinet. The panel consisted of Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski, SGA President Kaye Cranford, Vice President Todd Poole, Editor-in-Chief Vanessa Urruela, BSA President Vontrell Roundtree, CRSA President Kim Uyttenhove and Interfraternity Council President Mason Reuter. Chancellor Borkowski started out by defining rape from a male to female pespective, "It is to exercise power. It is to exercise control. It is demeaning. It is a debasement of all that is right and good in human kind." Borkowski went on to say how "intolerable" the act of rape is and that Appalachian State would not stand for this kind of disgusting behavior. "Rape is a criminal act and a felony. The perpetrator of the crime is in­ deed libel to inprisonment," added Borkowski. Questions were asked by students to the panel about any safety concerns that they had. Some of the questions were raised about previous events like the rape of the girl last week in a residence hall. In response to a questions about ' a cover-up of last week's rape Borkowski said, "I cannot disclose too much infor­ mation about the crime. I am constrained by law not to say certain things." Vanessa Urruela added, "If you want to get the correct information, then go read it in The Appalachian or get it from another reliable source." Students were also concerned with rumors floating around campus about the crimes. Kaye Cranford said in response, "If you are unsure of a rumor then call the administration or the vice See Safety page 2 the University of Richmond, Furman Uni­ versity and Trinity College in Texas will visit Appalachian on Feb. 2 to assess cam­ pus security and advise administrators on possible ways to improve it. The Univer­ sity Security Committee, recently ap­ pointed by Borkowski, will meet with the consultants on Feb. 5. Teach-ins will be held in all 18 of Appalachian's residence halls on the evening of Feb. 4 in a mandatory campuswide discussion of interpersonal relation­ ships, values, self-esteem, and respect for others. The chancellor has suspended vis­ iting hours in residence halls from 7 a.m. Thesday, Feb. 4 to 7 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 5, to focus campus attention on the ses­ sions. Residence halls will be locked for the 24-hour period, rather than the nor­ mal period of 9 p.m. to 7 a.m., and access to each hall will be limited to residents. Appointments are being made this week to the new Task Force on Stu­ dent Life charged with reviewing all ar­ eas of student life, including residence hall operation, sexual assault issues, and cam­ pus policies and student practices regard­ ing alcohol and drugs. The task force will be co-chaired by Marva L. McKinnon, a member of the university's board of trust­ ees, and Bradley Reid, director of hous­ ing. SGA back to work Bill proposes all clubs receive central office space Beth Bliss Staff Writer The Student Government Asso­ ciation passed two senate bills and ap­ proved appointments to the elections com­ mittee and executive and legislative cabi­ nets at their eleventh business meeting on Tbesday. Introduced by senators Stephen L. Gore and Brad Manning, Senate Bill 030-005 suggests that SGA "support the addition of Veteran's Day to the Auxiliary Services calendar." According to its creators, the bill was presented out of concern that while Veteran's Day is recognized nationally, it is not observed by Appalachian's Auxiliary Services calendar. A second bill, introduced by sena­ tors Lisa Bender and Mandy Palmer, was amended at the meeting. After the amendment, the bill stated that SGA would "support the cre- ation of a central office space for all rec­ ognized clubs, equipped with adequate materials necessary to fulfill basic opera­ tions." The creators of the bill said their hope in writing the bill was to obtain SGA support in favor of campus clubs and or­ ganizations desiring a central office space on campus to be used by all clubs to store equipment and provide working space. Both resolutions of support were passed by the senate. In addition, the senate voted on appointments to the elections committee and the executive and legislative cabinets. Senior Amy Parsons, junior Robin Ann Aylor, and freshman Krista Whitt were approved as members of the elections committee. Approved cabinet appointments included senior Tina Ball, secretary; sophomore Lindsay Phipps, assistant sec­ retary; junior Jenny Swofford, rules chair­ person; and senior Tom Flippin, assistant rules chairperson. Legislative branch of SGA working for students I .. Beth Bliss Staff Writer Members of the legislative and ex­ ecutive branches of the Student Govern­ ment Association are more deeply in­ volved with the workings of SGA than the iverage organization member. The main difference that exists between the two branches is that while the executive branch works under the eye Df SGA president Kaye Cranford, the leg­ islative branch is overseen by vice-presiient Todd Poole. Members of each branch give committee reports and discuss probems with their respective leaders. Positions found within the legisative branch of the cabinet include the student affairs chairperson, external afairs chairperson, academic affairs chair­ person, rules chairperson and assistant rules chairperson. In her position as student affairs hairperson, sophomore Jenny Ruggieri esearches and investigates "all student :oncerns on campus, from food to health services to environmental concerns," she _ j _ ec-: -t : — serves as academic affairs chairperson.

Fitte echoed Swofford, saying that some students stereo­ type SGA members as pawns of university administration that aren't active. "That's just not true," he said. Legislative cabinet mem­ bers, however, noted more positive benefits than negative ones. Many cabinet members said they enjoyed the sense of being "in the know" about university happenings. "If anything happens within the uni­ versity, it's almost as if we know about it first," said Hagerty. Members also noted the benefits of being a part of positive change within Appalachian. "I've really seen change come alive," said Ruggieri. "Knowing I was involved makes me feel good."

V 1 ii a t! �Page 3 1t» *ppjl,'chian 30 Januarv 1997 Opinion The Appalachian fairness, Accuracy and Public Service since 1934 Our Opinion... A brand spankin new library? Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski recently an­ nounced the university is committed to building a pew library facility rather than to renovate or ex­ pand the existing Belk Library. We at The Appala­ chian applaud the university's decision. As we all know, Belk Library is somewhat lackjpg in many areas, particularly space. The library is continually adding volumes, periodicals, news­ papers and microfiche to its inventory of titles. The jimple fact is that Belk Library cannot hold this everjjicreasing amount of material. Library officials estimate space needs for the library at 231,000 square feet, an increase of 64% over the current 140,000 square feet. Adding onto the existing structure of Belk Li­ brary is not feasible. There is no room to expand pvvtward. Additional floors would have to be added on top of Belk. At any time of the year, the addi­ tion of these floors would be a serious inconvelience to all who use the library. The noise generited by construction crews stomping and poundon the roof would most certainly disrupt the iet study area on Belk's top floor. The addition if new floors would also be likely to close Belk temirarily. Could academic work continue to be purued, fulfilling one of the missions of the univer­ sity, were the library closed? Belk Library is also not quite as user-friendly as it could be. The human resources at the library are adequate, but the design of the library is conusing to say the least. There should be some logi­ cal arrangement of various sections of the library. Anew structure, designed with that particular puriose in mind, would be helpful. Color-coding the lifferent sections of the library, even painting coled lines on the floor to serve as a directional aid would assist students using the facility. Also, traitional doors (you enter on the right, not the left) 'ould reduce some of the confusion . If a new library is constructed, the additional ce would allow for the acquisition of more tech­ nological equipment, more computers to find reI sources, more area for group and solitary study sesI sions and more shelves for more books. Many steps will have to be taken before a new brary becomes a reality at ASU. First and forelost, the long and tedious process of acquiring iding for the project will take place. Then, of •ourse, the long and tedious process of construc­ tion will occur. With the weather situation in Boone, we all know that completion dates are often ex­ tended (for instance, the Plemmons Student Union :pansion). However, this project seems well worth the wait. The construction of a state-of-the-art library will improve availability of resources and knowledge as well as mitigate problems students have with the existing library. Just imagine: a university with an academic acility (a new library) rather than an athletic fa­ cility (the Appalachian Convocation Center) as its crown jewel. We urge students to support the university in its dedication to building a new library.

I am against any form of abuse, sexual harassment, sexual assault, date rape, and rape, and those found guilty of such violations should be punished accordingly. I am also a strong supporter of a women's center. Now with that said, let's move on to the issue at hand. I witnessed something the other night that fright­ ened me. A certain sorority was having a function, (on campus), in which they were performing skits for the new members and pledges. Every skit that I saw had strong sexual connotations, and showed how much fun alcohol is. What are they trying to say here? That alcohol and sex go good together? What made it even better is that when they were done with their skits they sang a rallying song about how great it was to be a member of this sorority. Oh, I am sorry I misinterpreted the message. It is, that being a member of this sorority, drinking alcohol, and having sex are great. First off the obvious, most of the girls this was tar­ geted too were not of legal drinking age. Second of all can anyone tell me a more dangerous combina­ tion than alcohol and casual sex? What are the lead­ ers trying to tell these new members, most of whom joined for a sense of belonging, and want desper­ ately to be part of the group. I guess they are saying that if you want to be a part of our sorority you will engage in this kind of fun. I can guarantee you there was at least one person in that crowd that was not comfortable with that mes­ sage, but will engage in those activities just to fit in. That isn't peer pressure, that is mob rule. The other thing that I witnessed, was after the men were let in. There was a new member walking around with a sign on here body that said, "If you are a, (member of a certain fraternity), I will give you a kiss, because my BIG loves me." Am I the only one who sees a problem here? With today's problem of sex related crimes on cam­ pus, what are you people doing? Please do not get me wrong, I am not against the Greek system on cam­ pus, nor do I believe in anyway that a woman should have to change her lifestyle just because things are not as safe as they should be, and in no way do I mean to imply that anyone who is assaulted is just asking for it. But, I am not going to walk down a street in the middle of the night, in a bad part of town, with money hanging out of my pocket. Why are the leaders of this sorority putting their girls on that dark street? I think the leaders of the social organizations on cam­ pus have a responsibility to teach their members safety, responsibility, and common sense. Unfortu­ nately we live in a society that is struggling everyday to come to terms with the reality that sex crimes ex­ ist, and that they happen everyday, not just to fe­ males, but to males, not just to adults, but children also. Until men and women, adults and children have full equal rights with their sexuality, we have to take care in the messages we give, for our safety and the safety of others. Thank you for your time. Michael Ackerman ASU Box 10126 Apathetic Apps Letter to the Editor, If you have never seen the App basketball team in action, you are missing one of the great experiences of college life. Even if you have attended a game you are still missing the experience of a good college bas­ ketball game due to the lack of enthusiasm of our apathetic ASU "fans". Although we are impressed with the increasing attendance at the games, we still feel that there is lack of support for our players. No, we are not of ACC stature, but we are a division one basketball team and should give our team the home court advantage they deserve. We are fortunate enough to know many of the bas­ ketball players since we live on the same hall with them. They also notice the lack of participation from the crowd. In recent conversations with some of the players we were told that home games feel like road games because of the lack of support from the fans. This lack of support was evident at the Monday night game against ETSU. The game was tied with 8.3 sec­ onds remaining on the clock and Appalachian had possession of the ball. No one cheered, clapped, or yelled. Not until the crowd was assured of a victory did the fans show their support. This is known as a fair weather fan. With three home games remaining, there is more than enough time to start supporting your basketball team. The games are free to students —' and can be a great deal of fun if the students would come together and have a little bit of fun. This is our school and our team. Whether you yell, clap, or cheer, do something to show appreciation for our basketball players. If we appreciate them then they will appreciate us, the fans. It is a travesty that instead of hearing "Go App", we hear 'This crowd sucks". Loyal Buzz Backers, Phillip Buckbee ASU Box 7957 Melissa Carey ASU Box 13649 Amanda Crider ASU Box 10475 Price misses a point on rape To the Editor: I am writing to address Ryan Price's, "Don't Let Rape Divide Our Community." I agree with Mr. Price's clos­ ing sentiments on community responsibility however, the rest of the article was appalling. The tone of the article was defensive and dangerous. First, rape will, unfortuneately (sic) continue to divide our commu­ nity if people have attitudes like Ryan Price. He be­ gins his article by defending the chancellor, he then proceeds to defend men and finally, he finishes by attacking women. Not the type of thing I would have written directly after a rape on campus. My advice to Mr. Price is for him to see rape as an attack on women. It should not fall into the hands of women to prevent rape. That responsibility should go to the men who are actually committing a crime. The statement "Rape is never a woman's fault," is true, however Price contradicts himself when he gives several examples of how women can prevent rape. Would it be too outrageous to ask men to take responsibilty for them­ selves and their actions. Perhaps we should ask men to prevent rape by not committing it. We must view rape as an attack on women and a problem in our community and we must unite in order to fight it. Defensiveness (sic) is not effective.

Ten years ago, without rate councils are communicating and not ^ppS, students were leaving in droves creating scheduling conflicts. Each of the smaller councils is respon­ Irecause there was nothing to do. Now and the new venue of the Tradewinds Coffee Shop. Special Events covers the events that lie outside of usual program­ ming, such as the Super Bowl party last weekend. Appalachian Heritage is responsible for bringing in events and activities which inform the student body about the traditional culture of the Appala­ chian mountains. The Council for Cultural Awareness is respon­ sible for addressing mi­ nority entertainment needs. Each of the councils is allotted a certain amount of money according to their programming needs. Concerts, for example, receives the most money ($30,000 in 1996 according to the same budget summary) because it hires the highest profile bands. APPS is moving to two different venthe medium size shows which are held in Club Shows is responsioie tor the and Tradewinds coffee house. For those smaller shows held in the Alpine Lounge groups which are not required to produce sible for a different area of programming. Films brings movies to campus. Concerts is in charge of the large acts which come to campus. Most of these are held in the Varsity gym, which can hold about 3,000 people. Stage Shows is responsible for all of a revenue, Tradewinds has become a good venue for hosting. Organizations can not charge for events in there because it is privately owned. The Appalachian Heritage Council, which is not required to produce a rev­ enue, is hosting a night featuring female traditional musicians next Tuesday in Tradewinds. What has APPS done so far? As Vest said, he believes it has been largely respon­ sible for the high retention rate at Appa­ lachian. According to Vest, the main difference now, as opposed to ten years ago is that when Dave Robertson, die APPS advisor and the Director of Student Programs, was hired to change student popular program­ ming he took what had been in the hands of faculty and gave it to students. APPS is run, for the most part, by students. Vest says that has made the programming very successful because "if you get students involved, and their time and energy in­ volved, they'll bring acts that they would enjoy. They'll turn out and they'll bring their friends". See APPS page 8 Ways to safeguard yourself from sexual assault Sandy Edwards Reporter and Kristi Graves Contributer I The issue of Sexual Assualt has come to the forefront in our community. Such events are startling, and may leave the survivor with a wound that can take years to heal. These incidents also have an impact on the community. Responses from fear to percieved immunity may •sweep through the community, bringing •about cries for more to be done. The Wellness Peer Educators agree something must be done. We commend Steve Peake for his ar­ ticle last semester which expressed the mcem that society should change its attitude toward sexual assault. Change if society, although a noble idea, can only occur after individuals of both sexes be[in to change and work together to comiat the problem of sexual assault. As a group that provides education to the ASU community on this and other wellness issues, we would like to enunci­ ate some ideas that apply to all students. ASU is not unique in its fight against societal stereotypes: one in four women in universities across the country will experience sexual assault before leaving colassault betore ience lege; one in every 6-10 males will experi­ ence sexual assualt before the age of 18. This number is staggering, and as peer educators, we would like to provide guidelines that are similar for both men and women. We realize that men can also be assualted by women or other men, and that women can be assaulted by women. We do not wish to portray all men as per­ petrators or women as victims. We chose this perspective because a women is sta­ tistically more likely to be assualted by a man. Women: 1. Be aware of your surroundings. Recognize where you are, who you are with, and what is happening around you. If you find yourself in an unsafe situation, you can leave or call a friend. 2. Use the buddy system. When you go out, bring a friend. Do not leave a friend at a party alone. Be aware of where the other person is throughout the evening. 3. Watch out for "Roofies" Roofies, are also known as the "rape drug," and when put into your drink can knock you out, so that you cannot remember anything the next day. Roofies are here at ASU, and you want to make sure that you do not accept a drink from someone if you have not seen where it came from. 4. Be aware of your limits. or This statement refers both to amount of alcohol consumption and "social interac­ tion" limits. Define what you want and expect out of the evening before you go out. 5. Be assertive. Be a clear communicator. Walk with your head and chin up, your shoulders back, and a determined look on your face. This will inform the world that you are not a "victim." Make your limits clear, and ex­ press your opinions openly. If a person is infringing on your personal space/rights, say, "I DO NOT WANT YOU TO DO THAT. STOP NOW," very loudly and clearly. Do not worry about drawing attention to yourself, that is what you want to do, so the other person leaves you alone. You can be assertive and ward off potentially dangerous situations. If you choose to begin any sexual ad­ vances, make sure that what is happen­ ing is O.K. with the other individual. The only way to be 100 percent sure of this is to ASK! A word of caution: the law in North Carolina now states that if either person has been consuming alcohol, then sexual intercourse is considered rape. Now, this is not to say that two consent­ ing partners cannot have intercourse af­ ter drinking alcohol. This law was cre­ ated to protect individuals who are too intoxicated to give proper consent (i.e. not being able to sav NO or heinv loo uiiuaiheing ame inu Being luu intoxi- . i cated to accurately assess the situation). Any indication of indecision by your part­ ner should make you stop. Men 1. Be aware of your surroundings. Are the people around you comfortable? Are you in a situation that you feel com­ fortable in? You can do an awareness check every now and then to make sure that you are in an appropriate place and situation. 2. Use the buddy system. Men can use this system as well. You can have a friend check up on you , and do the same for him or her. Keep track of each other throughout the night. 3. Be aware of your limits. Alcohol affects each individual differently. For all people, it lowers inhibitions. How­ ever, make sure that you are not reading other people's signals in a misconstrued manner because of your lowered inhibi­ tions. Check your own limits for both al­ cohol consumption and behavior. 4. Be a clear communicator. Before you begin any sexual advances, make sure that what is happening is O.K. with the other individual. The only way to be 100 percent sure of this is to ASK! A word of caution: the law in North Caro­ lina now states that if either person has been consuming alcohol, then sexual in­ tercourse is considered rape. Now, this is rov that rnncpntino partners not to say rKot two consenting nartnpr cannot have intercourse after drinking al­ cohol. This law was created to protect in­ dividuals who are too intoxicated to give proper consent (i.e. not being able to say NO or being too intoxicated to accurately assess the situation). Any indication of indecision by your partner should make you stop. Above all, rape and sexual assault are very personal crimes, crimes that leave behind very deep emotional scars. There is a grave tendency to pretend that we are not susceptible to such a crime. Because we believe this couldn't happen to us, we find excuses for why it happened to some­ one else, often laying the blame on his/ her shoulders. We are all human, we are all vulnerable, both men and women, and we are all at risk. Every time an incident such as sexual assault or rape occurs, we are all responsible. The law protects our rights and gives us freedoms of expression and voice. Yet, always remember that not everyone re­ spects our personal freedoms. By the time the law intervenes, the crime has already been committed. Once it happens, noth­ ing can be done to make an individual the same peron he or she was before the inci­ dent. The Moral: Be the first to protect yourself. Be aware, be assertive and know your limits. Growing pot in the high country ASU students fight fires Jeff Sprouse Staff Writer There are felons among us. Sitting next to you right now could be a person actively committing a felony. He or she may not necessarily look like a criminal, but in their closet, basement or spare bed­ room, the illegal plant called marijuana grows under artificial light. He or she does not want you to know their activities. Most go to great lengths to conceal them. Growers black out win­ dows, regulate power bills and keep in­ formation of their activities on a need to Itnow basis. Because, as this half of a two Part look into the life of a marijuana grower will show, it is an extremely risky hobby. Marijuana is a schedule VI controlled substance under NC law. "It is unlawful for any person to manufacture a con­ trolled substance classified in schedule VI. A person who violates (this law) shall be be punished as a class I felon." (NC GenSraLStatutes. chapter 90-95). This is the minimum, for depending on the amount, where you grow it or who you give it to, the degree of felony in­ creases. If convicted, the offender could recieve a minimum of four months, and that's only if the individual has no prior record. That's also assuming the offender has been caught with less than fifty pounds. It's important to note that most law enforcement agencies weigh the the entire plant, minus only the root system, h's also important to remember that if convicted of a felony, the individual looses some basic rights, such as the right to vote during incarceration and probation as well as right to own a firearm for five years following conviction. That's the worst that could happen. Due to prison overcrowding, more judges are handing down deferred sentences and probation, which usually includes a sig­ nificant amount of community service hours. Also on cases such as these, Dis­ trict attorneys are giving more plea bar­ gains to lesser charges. Tom Rusher, the District Attorney of Watauga County, estimates that he saw thirty-five to forty cases involving the cul­ tivation of Marijuana in Watauga county. It is one of the more popular cases. How­ ever, this number pales in comparison to neighboring counties, such as Wilkes and Madison. A State Bureau of Investigation offi­ cial stated that these counties are nQtorious for marijuana growth. He adds how­ ever, that the number af arrests are in de­ cline. Ten years ago it was not uncom­ mon to find hundreds of acres of the green stuff, hidden in valleys and hollows. They now find only a tenth of that. The official would like to think this is due to inter­ agency interdiction efforts, but more prob­ ably is a move to indoor growing and an influx of the drug from Mexico. A student who wished only to be iden­ tified as KGB is someone you would never guess was a grower. Typical appearance, typical student with a good GPA. He could be sitting next to you right now. KGB has been growing pot for over a year. He lives in a relatively remote area, but it's only a fifteen minute drive to cam­ pus. In a secluded closet in his basement KGB grows marijuana. Hanging from the top of the cieling is a 250 watt high-pres­ sure sodium growing light. The sides of the closet are lined with tin foil and typi­ cal flourescent shields. Also augmenting the light is a 100 watt metal halide, (sto- len from the front of a local retailer) and another 75 watt hps. While the plants are young, KGB has them in potting soil. They will remain there until they are sexed (male plants do not bud and therefore contain no THC). Once the female plants have been determined, he transplants them to a con­ tained hydroponic system, in which the roots are suspended in water which con­ tains all the essential nutrients to ensure healthy and rapid growth. With his sys­ tem, the buds (most intoxicating part of plant) are ready to be smoked in three and a half to four months. KGB was understandibly hesitant to tell his story. He has developed a real paranoia. "The key is to keep it on a need to know basis only." He says the only people who know about his activities are his roommates. Another key to his se­ crecy is an absentee landlord. He is also careful about fluctuations in his power bill. He has heard horror stories of unwitting growers whose power bill doubled due to the massive amounts of electricity needed to power the lights. Such fluctuations prompted the utility company to ask questions, sometimes al­ lowing them to notify the authorities. When asked why he grows, his an­ swers reflect the problems most mari­ juana users have when dealing with a un­ derground and often corrupt procure­ ment system. "Good buds are way too expensive. I don't have the money to drop for a hundred dollar bag of kind bud. Plus, when you buy, you never know what you're getting, or if the bag weighs. By growing it myself, I know what I'm get­ ting and it's way more affordable. It's kind of like my hobby, you know. I've got it down, but it took me several times of trial and error." Danny Sink Staff Writer It seems that at one point or another all children fantasize about shiny red fire trucks and big yellow helmets. As these children grow up, many of them leave these dreams behind. However, there are those few indi­ viduals who choose to follow their dream and stare the flames in the eyes. These fire fighters risk their lives every­ day. They are the em­ bodiment of the word "hero." Among the stu­ dent body at Appala­ chian exists just such a group of individuals, sacrificing their time and security to make the University and community a safer place to live. Among this elite group is Junior James Hall of Greensboro. Hall has fought fire for four years, two of which he has served on the Boone squad. He is currendy the only student-fire fighter to obtain the level of fire fighter one. In the fire fighting profession there are three levels of fire fighters. There is the probationary fire fighter, the rank of fire fighter one, and fire fighter two. The pro­ bationary fireman is someone who has not yet completed their training for fire fighter one. This type of fire fighter can arrive on the scene and work the truck, attach­ ing hoses, pulling off equipment and the like. To become a level one fire fighter, you must become state certified by taking over 20 different classes. Once you have ob­ tained the rank of fire fighter one, you are able to begin the actual fire fighting. Fire fighter two requires another 15 or so classes that fine tune many of the skills that are taught in the initial course. For Hall it was a family tradition stem­ ming from his grandfather. "I like helping people," said Hall. "I've had my legs fall through floors and ceil­ ings come down on me." Yet, Hall keeps on, daring the flames, to do his job. "It's an adrena­ line rush." said proba­ tionary fireman Chad Scoggins, a sophomore at Appalachian. Scoggins has been on the Appalachian force a litde over a year now, and has been an active fire fighter since 1994. So what exacdy does a Probationary fire­ man do? According to Scoggins, they unload hoses, act as gophers, and do everything but go into the actual fire. Sometimes if there are houses close enough together, the Probies may spray the unaffected homes down to keep the fire from spreading. One of the more rewarding things that a fireman can do is teach children fire safety. "We do our best teaching fire preven­ tion and education," said Hall. "We teach children how to put out grease fires, StopDrop-and- Roll, and show them how to escape from a burning home. "When you go to a fire, you just have to put it out. You're saving people's memo­ ries and tokens," Hall said. "If s just re­ warding to know you're helping people." �Page 8 What shows has APPS brought to campus? Remember two little bands called Hootie and the Blowfish and Dave Matthews? You could have seen them here first, both of them appearing at campus only weeks before they signed the record contracts that made them so popular. APPS also brought Leftover Salmon (who will be back again on February 19), Coolio, Cracker and George Clinton and P-Funk (who will also be returning on April 4) . Club Shows hosted their first event of the semester in the Alpine Lounge last Friday night, featur­ ing the Warmers and Monorchild. In the future, Outkast will be coming to campus and, according to Vest, APPS films will be spon­ soring a new channel on the cable system which will feature movies for on campus students, beginning in February. APPS is open to any student or faculty member who wishes to join. You can contact the APPS office at 262-2855 for meeting times. Members of the councils decide what shows come to cam­ pus and they often receive certain benefits. Some events are consid­ ered "all APPS", which means that members get in free. So, if you like what we have on campus and you want it to con­ tinue, or if you want to see some­ thing change, join a council and do something about it. Grapevine Top Ten 1.

Justin Griffin Lady Apps drop UTC Down Moccasins 81-67 Danny Sink Staff Writer The Appalachian State women's basketball team was back in action Monday night in Chattanooga, where the Lady Mountaineers extended their winning streak to four games in a row as they downed the Moccasins of UTC, 81-67. The Mountaineers got big games out of Melissa Davis with 17 points, six rebounds and three assists, Tiana Tate with 16 points and seven rebounds, Noel Dolan with 14 points and three assists, and Meredith Thomp­ son with 11 points and five rebounds. The win puts the Lady Mountaineers back on top of the Southern Conference standings above Furman and Marshall with a 5-2 record in conference play. Now at the top of the stand­ ings for the first time this season, the Mountaineers will face an important test this Saturday as the Catamounts of Western Carolina come to Varsity Gymnasium. Earlier this year the Cata­ mounts downed the Mountaineers 7270 in Cullowhee, breaking Appalachian's long-running conference winning streak that dated back two seasons. Western Carolina comes into the Appalachian game in the midst of a two game slide, having lost to Ten­ nessee-Chattanooga in overtime and to Georgia Southern by eight. The Moun­ taineers, of course, have been on a hot streak, winning their last four games, two of which were on the road. The Western Carolina face-off marks the only stop in Boone for the Lady Mountaineers in the midst of a six-game road trip which will see the Apps face off next week against Davidson, Furman, ETSU, and Marshall. Game time this Saturday is set for 2:00 p.m. The Mountaineers' Tige Darner executes a no-look pass during Monday night's win over ETSU. (phi by Marvin Evans) Where's our hockey Here I am again, looking for something else to complain about. There are quite a few things that get on my nerves in the wide world of sports. The first of the irritating questions that pop into my mind occasionally would be: Why don't we have a hockey team at Ap­ palachian? Does it not get cold here? Are there not enough white people here? To me, Varsity Gymnasium reminds me of a miniature hockey rink, Most of the time I see the Gym, the wooden basketball floor is down but it looks as though it could be taken up for hockey. For many years in Boston, there was no problem taking the basketball flooring up for the Bruins games and likewise putting flooring down over the ice for the basketball games. WHERE THE HECK IS MY HOCKEY TEAM?? You would think I re­ ally care about this sport but I don't. Hockey is just as mindless as NASCAR rac­ ing. The only sports I really care for in­ volve a ball, and golf doesn't count! Justin Griffin Assistant Sports Editor sports commentary Which brings me to another thing. Who really cares about golf? Why watch? If I ever get so bored one day I ever de­ cide to turn on golf, I will know that my life has come to an end. I can't think of anything as boring as sitting there on the couch watching some old man, who should have probably been sent to a rest home ten years back, tee up, hit a little white ball, and spend a whole darn day chasing the thing all over some else's lawn! And the hidden racism in the media covering the PGA! My god! How pathetic! The overexposure of Tiger Woods has been shameless. Mind you, this guy is a talent. He can play with the best of them. After seeing what the media puts him through, I don't know why the man hasn't gone into hiding. Unlike the other people in the media, I really don't find it that hard to believe that a black man can play golf with the best of them. ESPN and just about every other sports news source treat the man like an oddity. I think there are quite a few people out there that are trying to plot out Woods' failure. It seems like every time Woods has a re­ ally good outing, he gets mentioned briefly and every time Woods has a not-so-hot showing there is nearly15 minutes of cov­ erage of it, almost to say, "Hah! I told you so!" I'm really not an avid fan of golf. Heck, I don't even know how the scoring system works. I guess I'm kind of mad that this inferior game (it is not a sport) has been forced on me. NASCAR has got to be one of those things. Yes, it is a thing, there is no way, I will ever call it a sport. Do you know why? Because its NOT! I have lived my life in sheer pain residing in a state where racing is so popu­ lar. I believe I am one of the few people who is happy that racing left Wilkesboro. racing coverage does not belong on the front of any sports page. 1! team I'll never understand the fa nation of mindlessly following a coi of cars around a track.

"I handle anything that deals with money through SGA, from supporting events to making travel possible,"she said. Senior Tina Ball assumed the po­ sition of SGA secretary this semester af­ ter serving as assistant secretary in the fall. In her new position, Ball is responsible for taking roll at senate meetings and over­ seeing senator attendance, recording and posting meeting minutes, and perform­ ing other various clerical duties.

The primary duties of Public Af­ fairs Chairperson Christy Barrick include planning Homecoming activities during the fall semester and working with repre­ sentatives from various campus organiza­ tions through the Operation Outreach pro­ gram. In addition, Barrick, a sophomore marketing and hospitality management major from Raleigh, NC, said she has the added responsibility of writing to news­ papers throughout the state to inform them of various incidents occurring on campus and what Appalachian and SGA are doing about such incidents.

However, all members of the cabinet view their experiences with the group as positive ones. Members made note of the fam­ ily-like relationship that exists be­ tween cabinet members. "We've gotten really close," said Farwell. "This is one of the strongest cabinets I've seen. We have (many) different kinds of input." Cabinet members also said being a part of this group has allowed them to meet many new people, from campus senators to university officials. "The people I've met are unbelievable," said Lawrence.

Dyson, who is currently the director of the Institute of Af­ rican- American Research at UNCChapel Hill, recently attracted na­ tionwide attention for his contro­ versial commencement address during December graduation ex­ ercises at UNC-CH. The free lecture, which is open to the public, is presented in conjunctive celebration of Martin Luther King's Birthday and Black History Month. The lecture is cosponsored by Appalachian's Afri­ can-American Student Center and the annual Forum Lecture Series held by the Office of Cultural Af­ fairs. Dyson is one of the nation's most distinguished and visible public intellectuals. New Yorker Magazine says Dyson is becoming a prominent figure among a generation of black think­ ers that are "the most dynamic force in the American scene since the fifties." In regards to Dyson's writ­ ing, Time Magazine says that "in Gtne tell his prose, one hears the fervor of a Sunday sermon; in his ideas, one sees the analytic scrupulousness of a man who knows a thing or two about tenure com­ mittees." Dyson has published two books, Reflecting Black: African American Cultural Criticism, and From God to Gansta' Rap: Notes on Black Culture. His upcoming book is entided Race Rules, and consists of essays on a broad spectrum of top­ ics, from the O.J. Simpson trial to gender issues in the film Waiting to Exhale.

It is the good man's trasure and the bad man's refuge.' -Lao-tzu Opinion The Appalachian fairness, Accuracy and Public Service since 1934 Don't let rape divide our community Our Opinion... Diversity shouldn't be a dirty word Ryan Price Editorials Editor Did you know that less than 5 percent of stu­ dents at Appalachian are non-white? The number of faculty who are minorities is even lower than that. With lots of talk about diversity creeping into jll of our conversations (it's almost February, you lorow) it's time to really stop and think about di­ versity and what its place is on a university cam­ pus. Look around you in your next class and count the number of students who (at least) appear to be of a minority group. That number is almost cer­ tain to be able to be counted on one hand. Have you ever even had a class taught by a person of color? The truth is, and a painful truth it is, that di­ versity has hardly any place on this campus. It's bad enough that Boone is so sheltered, you would think that the student body of a somewhat liberal university would care more about incorporating a wide variety of cultures on this campus. There have been some signs of improvement in this situation as of late. We're proud of them. They are, the rise in the number of faculty and staff hirees of color, the meeting last night of people interested in regenerating a campus chapter of The National Association for the Advancement of Col­ ored People (NAACP), and the Multicultural Center's success. The Multicultural Center is sponsoring a "Di­ versity Series" that runs until the end of April. The series is made up of eight lectures and workshops on topics that range from date rape to AIDS aware­ ness. Upcoming series events include one on improv­ ing communication in relationships on Feb. 11, a March 17 talk by Carol Stack who is the author of African Americans Reclaim the South, and the March 26 lecture called, "Racism & Its Effects." Attendance at the events is free and the loca­ tion is the Multicultural Center located on the first floor of Plemmons Student Union. For more infor­ mation call the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership at 262-6252. And we say diversity we do not mean just Afri­ can Americans. We mean women, Hispanics, Asian Americans, etc. So far the majority of the diversity speakers have been African American. Appalachian needs to incorporate all these different cultures and race into their diversity programs. Diversity shouldn't be a dirty word here at Ap­ palachian. We need your feedback... With the most recent alleged rape on campus, there have been several steps taken by the adminis­ tration to alleviate concerns of students and faculty over these incidents, while criticism of Chancellor Borkowski abounds. The definition of rape Oh, and the word is rape, not sexual assault. "Sexual assault" is the politically correct way of say­ ing rape. It's like the term "spousal abuse." No, it's called beating your wife. "Sexual assault" isn't as nasty a word, so it cleans up the mental image a bit, while projecting a more ambiguous meaning at the same time. Rape is defined in Webster's International Dic­ tionary as "an outrageous violation." Chancellor Borkowski described it accurately as an "abuse of physical power, about control and humiliation." Borkowski is not to blame Borkowski has been blamed by many for the go­ ings-on of this campus. Now, while the Chancellor is, in theory, responsible for everyone's health and well-being here at Appalachian, he is not Superman. He cannot be everywhere at once. Borkowski cannot control what some idiots do and he cannot chaperone every individual in the resi­ dence halls. I've heard the sentiment articulated around cam­ pus that the Chancellor needs to do more in regard to off-campus students' safety. Like what? The mandatory "teach-ins" that will be held at every residence hall were requested by Borkowski. Off-campus counseling sessions are scheduled as Ryan Price Editorials Editor Jeremy Ball Asst. Features Editor Jay Konstantaras Asst. News Editor Bethany Parrish Photography Editor John Starling Features Editor Mike Daniels Justin Griffin Sports Editor Asst. Sports Editor 1 Matt Russ Writing Coach 1ifj Preventive measures We must also take measures to ensure our own individual safety. Although it is unfair, much of the preventive responsibility is placed upon the woman's shoulders. Rape is never a woman's fault, but that shouldn't stop one from acting sensibly. I'm sure everyone has heard some of these "rules" before, but I still see lone women walking the "loop" late at night, and I just shake my head in wonder. • Women should not walk alone at night, around town or on-campus. Use Mountaineer Escort or call a reliable, responsible friend (male or female; there's safety in numbers). Boone is not crime free. • Women should try to careful about who they go out with, on dates and casually. • Women should watch who they party and drink with. Growing up, your parents always told you not to go into that "bad" part of town alone or at night. Same concept here. Don't get sloppy drunk with a bunch of people you don't know. When you let your guard down, anything can happen. As Director of the Equity Office, Melissa Barth said at a campus crime forum last semester, "While all of the preventive measures are helpful, it is still up to the individual student to help protect them­ selves." I Community responsibility As members of the Appalachian community we must all join together and become more responsible and responsive to these situations. The University has acted responsibly in promot­ ing education, awareness and safety. We must work together and support each other so that one day the word "rape" may indeed be un­ necessary to use in our society. I' i Iri I "What do you think about safety and security at Appalachian and how the university is handling these issues?" "I think a lot of people need to take responsibility for themselves. There are things you can do to keep yourself from being a target. I think it's good that they have Mountaineer Escort." -Elise Landry, sophomore Vaness'a Urruela Editor-in-Chief Renee Cagle John O'Brien Managing Editor Ad Manager Chris Kinner News Editor Policies and Programs Besides the "teach-ins," there have been several programs and policies implemented by the adminis­ tration, such as: the Appalachian Community Meet­ ing, tomorrow night at 6:30 in the Grandfather Moun­ tain Ballroom, the creation of the Task Force on Stu­ dent Life, the turnover of Mountaineer Escort from SGA to University Police (for more efficient and ef­ fective management), the future addition of audible alarms to the blue-light system, and the publishing of information and crime statistics on the back page of The Appalachian. All of this points to the respon­ sible and sensible actions of the administration to somewhat alleviate students' concerns of a lack of safety. As students, we all need to join together and help one another deal with such a terrible crime as rape. Women should not blame every person with a penis, and must realize that all men are not like the sick individuals who commit such atrocities. Campus Perspectives The Appalaachian needs letters to the editor. We need to hear from you, our public. A letter does not have to be negative, nor does it have to be about the opinions page. Tell us what you think about the job we are doing here. We can take criticism. Let us know what you like as well as what you dislike. There are only a few rules. You need to type your letters and they must be 150 words or less. You need to put your ASU box with your name. The Appalachian also has the right to edit your letters for space constraints. So don't be shy, we want to hear from you. The Appalachian is published every Tuesday and Thursday of the academic year with the exception of se lected holidays and breaks. The Appalachian welcomes letters to the editor. These should be 150 words or less, typed, double spaced and include the author's name, address, phone number and campus affiliation, if any. The Appalachian reserves the right to decline publication of any letter or to edit letters for the purpose of space and clarity. Letters should be de livered to offices on the second floor of Plemmons Stu dent Union, or mailed to: Editor, The Appalachian, ASU Box 9025, Boone, NC 28608. E-mail may be sent to TheApp@conrad.appstate.edu. The opinions expresed in The Appalachian are those °f individual columnists and not necessarily those of The Appalachian. well, after the halls are completed. Off-campus stu­ dents are second, not because Borkowski cares less for them, but due to the fact that on-campus stu­ dents are centrally located and easily accessible. Blaming Borkowski for rapes committed off-cam­ pus is brainless and unfounded. About 10 years ago, a student was murdered with a handgun at a party, right here in Boone. Was Chan­ cellor John Thomas responsible for that action? Of course not. As unfortunate as serious crimes like rape and murder are, it is impossible for the Chancellor to prevent them, and totally unrealistic to assume so. Dr. Dan Jones, the interim director of the Coun­ seling and Psychological Services Center says that the administration has, in fact, done very well coping with a difficult situation. "I think they're trying to do everything they can to address the problem, it's something that in some ways is out of their hands. "They don't have any control about what people are doing at parties off-campus, or apartments, but they can address issues that occur in residence halls." The question has also been posed as to why, all of a sudden, there seem to be more rapes this school year than in the past. "I think there have been more reported, there has been a greater reaction by the community spurred by the media coverage and everything," says Jones. Jones, who has worked at several different universi­ ties adds, "I don't think that there are more rapes here than at universities of equal size." All of this brings us to the question of what the University is doing in regard to students' requests to promote campus safety. "I think that security's doing the best they can. I don't know what needs to be done about it" -Chauncey Greene, junior "I feel that the state of campus security is kind of sorry, and that if I were the girl involved in the incident this past weekend, I would be asking the city or county police to handle it" -Shannon Hoyt, senior "I really don't know. I've felt safe, but I can understand where the female population is coming from." -Stephen Kuney, sophomore "I've never had any problems on campus... I haven't really encountered anything that would frighten me personally, but just from what I've read and heard, there's more out there than we think." -Sean Hirsch, sophomore "I applaud the university's efforts to involve the entire community in dealing with this problem, and I'm sure that a solution will be reached." -Fernando Little, junior (not pictured) "Security is doing a pretty good job, unfortunately they're not getting a lotof help from [students] because a lot of people think that security's not for them." -Megan Woolshlager, junior �The Appalachian 28 Janua ry 19s- Page 6 Iftftftftftftftftftftftftftftftftftftftftftft Advertise j & • O Professional Body Piercing • • ft 3 Years Experience _ CAMP WINADU FOR BOYS & ft ft Auto Clav Sterile * CAMP DANBEE FOR GIRLS ft IN THE MOUNTAINS OF MASS.

Well, every last Saturday of the in Legends you can. gut this is not your run of the mill ^day bump and grind. This is con- , dancing- Contra dancing is a New England of dance which was derived from jsh country dancing. When most people think of country i they think of Hee-haw and red ,ndannas. So, has Appalachian been invaded by Jed Clampet wanna-bes? Jennifer L. McSwain, a junior from Shelby who is also a member of the Appa­ lachian Heritage Council, the APPS coun­ cil which sponsors the event, says, "No. This isn't Hee-haw. We don't wear ging­ ham dresses and there are no crinolines". Contra dancing is actually a very or­ derly form of dancing, quite unlike the stereotypical ho-down. There are several different types of country dancing native to the United States. Square dances, ironically, are usu­ ally done in circles. This type of dancing is native to the Appalachian mountains. Contra dances are done in lines. In proper dances, males and females stand across from each other, hence the name contra. In improper dances, the two lines alter­ nate male and female. The dances at Legends are composed of both squares and contras. Most, how­ ever, are contras. Live bands play acoustical sets with a caller leading the dancers by calling out commands to the dancers on the floor. McSwain says "at first it's a little con­ fusing, but after a dance or two it's really easy to pick up. Every one's really help­ ful too". The dances move in time to the mu­ sic. Contra dances are traditionally done to New England style traditional music which is strongly Celtic and French-Ca­ nadian influenced. Most of the dances in Legends, how­ ever, are done to the music of the tradi­ tional music from this region, Old-time music. This music resembles the New England style, but has a distinctly south­ ern twist, with the notable addition of the banjo. This style of music is the prede­ cessor of bluegrass. Both Contras and squares are fastpaced and done with partners. So, you might not just dance with somebody but get a date out of it, too. Program Coordinator of Student Pro­ grams, Brad Vest, is excited about the monthly event, mainly because it's a great way to have fun safely and re­ sponsibly on a weekend. "There is no alcohol in­ volved and ev­ erybody can do it. It would be impossible to do it with alcohol and it is so much fun," said Vest. A n d students aren't the only ones to take advantage of the dances at Legends. Nancy Mamlin, a fac­ ulty member, was the caller This group of people dance the night away at Saturday s Contra Dance as the band plays on. (Photo by Karen Walters) for the last dance. McSwain says that it's a good opportunity for students to interact with other members of the com­ munity. Dances run from eight and end around 11:30. The cost is just $1 for stu­ dents and $4 for adults. In a day where most social interac­ tion has been reduced to work and school environments and where social activities are seldom remembered the morning af­ ter, contra dances provide a rare opportu­ nity to interact with both students and members of the community on a social level. McSwain says one reason why she likes it is because everyone is equal and required to get along. Oddity: Little beauties visit Boone ing babies, girls with names like Chastity, Dixie, and Destiny smiled and waved to impress the judges. For a basic fee of thirty-five dollars and additional charges for a range of catego­ ries from fifties wear to talent, these girls and boys competed not only for the title of Boone Cover Miss but also to have their .-beautiful smiles enlightened the one-hundred dollar beauty fee paid for the tall" (Shane Wallace, ASU Student) state finals.

Whatever your opinion, last SaturMarley, who's been organizing pag­ laythe Boone Cover Miss and Cover Boy eants for ten years, had a lot to say about ageant was held in the Boone Mall, the positive aspects of these contests. "I tneath a table laden with trophies and have mothers call me about what this Ik background din of Muzak and cry­ meant for their children: the poise, the uper Bowl self confidence, they're able to speak up in class, take an active part in things. This is a confidence builder!" She also noted that beauty pageant's have the largest scholarship program in the whole world. Janna Reed, North Carolina State Cover Miss, is the epitome of poise and confidence. She traveled to Boone from Charlotte with her mother to sing as well as help give away the trophies. When asked what she got from the pageants, she said, "I get to travel around, meet new people and entertain." Janna hopes to pursue a career in the entertainment in­ dustry. Her mother, from whom it is evident Janna got her good looks and charm, ech­ oes Marley^ sentiments. "I think it's great for [the children's] self-esteem. I think the pageants are a very rewarding expe­ rience for most children." However, it's not all "Here she is", ti­ B ASU students got together Sunday to watch the Green Bay Packers take on the New England Patriots in SuperBowl XXXI.

While Marley says her pageants have been blessed, she said, "Where the problem comes in is these par­ ents who want the crown." She went on to relate the story of a pageant she orga­ nized in Mooresville. A little girl who didn't win but re­ ceived a participation'trophy ran off the stage to her mother, beaming over her accomplishments. The mother grabbed the trophy and said, "You didn't win noth­ ing! That's just a little old participation trophy." Therein lies the root of the critic's ar­ gument, which is that the pageants are put on more for the parent's ego than the ben­ efit of the child. Camille Paglia, professor of Humanities at the University of Penn­ sylvania and noted author, stated in a re­ cent interview that "these pageants mark a deep sexual disturbance in the society, a cannibalizing of youth by these vampiric adults." The audience, while primarily com­ prised of families and friends who often coached their children on stage, had it's detractors. Groups of teenagers sipping cherry Icees giggled at the glamour. Older shoppers going from store to store made secretive disparaging comments to each other. John Hawkins, an assistant manager at Blockbuster Music, located next to where the pageant was held, said, "I think it teaches children to be egotistical at a young age." Whatever your opinion, the fact still remains that the Boone mall was graced by these beautiful, talented young men and ladies. I saw no evidence of overbear­ ing parents or captive children. The over­ all points winner may have been Adena Biggers, but in my mind, the real winner was all who participated. What's going on...

The Mountaineers didn't throw in towl. They cut the Georgia Southern j to as little as four with only 5:12 left in the first half. Dispite the efforts in the first half, the last couple of minutes of the half must still seem like a blur to the Apps. With just under five minutes in the half the Eagles mounted a 15-6 run to push their lead up to 44-31 going into the locker room. In the second half the Eagles came out strong, push­ ing their lead to 17 before Ap­ palachian was able to break out with a run of its own. Nailing five three pointers within the next ten minutes, the Apps came charging back. At the 9:52 mark Melissa Davis knocked down a three-pointer that gave the Mountaineers their first lead in the second half, a lead they never gave up. From there, the Mountaineers cruised to a 15-point victory. The Apps shot an impressive 57.1 percent (8/14) from behind the three-point arc, and a went 74.4 percent (29/39) from the char­ ity stripe. The Mountaineers were led in scoring by Meredith Thompson and Erica Mathies who both put up 18 points. Andreia Hinton rung up a double-double with 15 points and 14 rebounds, Three other players also hit double digits in scor­ ing including, Tiana Tate with 13 points, Melissa Davis with 11, and Noel Dolan scored 10, nine of which came on threepointers. Dolan also led the Mountain­ eers with six assists The Mountaineers now stand at 11-7 overall and 4-2 in the conference. After returning from Chattanooga Tues­ day, the Mountaineers will have a couple days off before they face Western Caro­ lina Saturday in Varsity Gym. Tip off is scheduled for 2:00.

Hopper, 2-8 in dual competition, winced in pain after every move through the final two periods, but relied on spirts of energy to win the bout. Maybe there is something to be lid for "home court advantage", or in this ge "home mat advantage." With only one win in eight latches away from the friendly confines [iforsity Gymnasium, the Mountaineers on their fourth dual match in a row on e home floor, defeating conference riil Tennessee-Chattanooga 25-10 Saturiy afternoon. Over the past two seasons App grapplers have taken eight of their jtlO contests at home, including five of e last six. Coach Paul Mance's appeared i tady to run away with Saturday's match the early bouts. The Mountaineers won e first four matches in a row, posting a lead heading into the 150 lb. match. With Appalachian's Ryan ugh prince winning by forfeit at 118 lbs., hat would turn out to be the match of day followed. Grove, Okla. native avid Hopper battled a shoulder injury istained in the first period to defeat TC's Andy Cook in a 9-3 decision in the 9-3 decision. With the win, Strobel ran his record to 8-1 at 167 lbs., and 11-2 over­ all. The Mountaineers and Moccasins At 134 lbs., Mountaineer Jeremy split the last four matches, securing the Hart became the squad's first 20-match win for the App grapplers. The victory winner as he outlasted Adrian Botchlet in gives Appalachian an early advantage in a 6-4 decision. Hart, down 3-0 early in the conference title chase. The two squads have been responsible for the match, scored six straight the past eleven Southern points in the match and held Conference titles, with the off a late surge by Botchlet for Mountaineers taking the the win. last two. With Appalachian "We needed to leading 15-0, the Mocs finally come out and wrestle with got on the board in the 150 intensity and we did," lb. bout. UTC's Heath Mance said. "Our guys re­ Eslinger recorded three take­ ally supported each other downs in the final period to today, and that really was win by major decision over the key." ASU's John Mance, cutting the On the return of score to 15-4. Strobel, Mance added Mountaineer junior Carl Barton thwarted the Mocs comeback "With Strobel back, our lineup is a little with a major decision victory at 158 lbs. more solidified. We showed that we have over Adam Duncan, paving the way for a decent wrestling team and we can com­ the return of 1996 NCAA qualifier Derek pete for the conference championship." Appalachian will attempt to pick Strobel. Strobel, inactive for the past six up their fifth home win in a row Saturday weeks due to a knee injury, picked up as they host UNC-Greensboro in a key where he left off at the time of his injury Southern Conference battle. The first by defeating UTC's Dante Berlingeri in a match is slated for 7:00 p.m. Marshall, 70-67 in Huntington Justin Griffin Assistant Sports Editor Kareem Livingston and Junior Braswell scored 18 points apiece in a losing effort as the Thundering Herd of Marshall tip toed past the Mountaineers 70-67 Saturday night in Huntington. Down 70-67, The Mountaineers had a chance to win the game in the last 30 seconds, but ended up passing the chance away as Braswell threw up an errant shot in the last seconds. "Kareem had an unbelievable first half. He was doing just about any­ thing he wanted to." Said Appalachian's Coach Buzz Peterson on the play of Livingston. Other than Livingston and Braswell, Tige Darner also scored in double digits with 16 points on 3 of 7 three point shooting. The effort for the game left Peterson anything but disappointed. 'I'm pleased with the effort of the team," Peterson remarked, " we were very physical and extremely aggressive." Despite Marshall building leads of nine, 10 and 11 points respectively, the Moun­ taineers kept clawing back. The loss is a hard one to take, but with the physical play and the ag­ gressiveness of the Mountaineers it seems like Appalachian found a dent in the armor of Marshall. In the North Division of the Southern Conference the race is going to come down to Marshall and Appalachian ° ate. Virginia Military Institute, the other contender for the North Division title, has run into problems with key players Andre Quarles and Brent Connelly out for the rest of the season. The loss hurts, especially since Brent Connelly is the team's leading scorer. The two were suspended for not adher­ ing to military regulations. They were suspended from the school for two se mesters, but ended up getting a semes­ ter knocked off through appeals. Both will return next year. Southern Conference fey Mountaineer fans; Varsity Gymnasium Standings (through 1/27/97) ihouldn't sound like Belk Library h Last Tuesday night, I went to larlotte to cover the UNC Charlotte-Cinnnati game. The fans were all decked it in green, shouting obscenities at the imposing team, booing the likes of Ciniti forward Danny Fortson, shouting ated!" repeatedly, almost like it was trsonal. I was sitting on press row, try­ 's to fit into the little area I had been signed, listening to what seemed to be %ear old lady spit out a stream of curse ords, all directed at Cincinnati coach Bob Uggins. As you should be able to tell by Halton Arena is truly a hostile envitiment for any visiting team. It would be nice if things were fen remotely like this in the confines of Usity Gymnasium. Our students can be st as rabid, can't they? WRONG! Guess gain. Appalachian students resemble the ine and cheese crowd one would run into 'a golf match. The main difference be'8 golf crowds occasionally clap and 'aer once in a while.. This year, the men's basketball am has managed to beat some teams 'at have destroyed past Mountaineer ams. Earlier this year, Appalachian travad to Cullowhee and beat Western Caro'ta, last year's Southern Conference touriJtient champion. More recently, Appaahian soundly thrashed Davidson, last ^'s regular season conference cham'0n' The Mountaineers swept UNC taensboro in regular season play, a team 'at has been atop the Big South for years. only scratch my head and wonder, ''tat the hell does it take to gamer any Merest on this campus? Sitting in Varsity Gymnasium atching the Mountaineers play often 1 *ttis like being at attendance at a home 1 "tie at the North Carolina School for the 1 aaf. The whole concept of fans is some'tat silly to me; from the beginning of e year, I've thought we were letting the ageless into the games for free so they stay warm. The sad truth is this: he students at the Mountaineer games it outcheered by the alumni, who look e they are knocking on death's door. *ybe we should start giving out free »ts to the people at the Brian Estates Justin Griffin Assistant Sports Editor sports commentary (the local rest home). Just about anywhere the Moun­ taineers go on the road there is a decided home advantage for the other team. For instance, in Charlotte, a whole fraternity sits right above the visiting team's bench and jeers them the whole game. After the game Cincinnati Coach Bob Huggins com­ plained about the fans. "It's not fun to sit there and listen to them talk about your mother, your children and everything else," Huggins said after the game. This all doesn't seem very nice, but to me it demonstrates that people can get up for non- ACC basketball. There are rednecks who I look at and think to myself "Did he go to ANY college?" sitting on the front row and hurling insults at the referees the whole game. I am not saying that our fans should go after the referees, Other coaches might complain about the crowds and how personal things get, but hey, that's what they get paid the big bucks for. getting jeered should be part of the job description for any coach, especially when the coach is on the road. I love it when I'm at a game and it feels like the fans are so livid they're going to charge the court at any minute. My friends, that's what is called a home court advantage. All this season, with the exception of the Davidson contest, Appa­ lachian has been playing home games that should have been considered neutral court games. It's impossible to understand why there are people who would rather watch a North Carolina team that is three hundred miles away lose on a given night than to watch their own school play a tightly contested game at Varsity Gym, only a hop and a skip away. To all you Dallas Cowboy, Chi­ cago Bull, and Tar Heel fans, I know you are always looking for a winning team to root for. The Appalachian State men's basketball team is starting to turn the cor­ ner. There will be a bandwagon. Why wait? Get on now! Be among the first. There are three home games left. Like it or not, everyone who attends class here has already paid to go see the games. It's not like anyone needs to buy a ticket or spend any money. Unlike some schools, all that is needed is your time and enthu­ siasm.

Spruill and Smith are ASU students who won a prestigous Police Corps award last week. Vanessa Urruela Editor-in-Chief More than 2400 copies of a uni­ versity press release will begin appearing under the doors of on-campus residents today as Appalachian's administration attempts to deal with another alleged rape of a female first-year student that was reported to residence hall staff and Uni­ versity police early Sunday morning. According to the release, the woman reported that "she was sexually assaulted while visiting a residence hall late Saturday evening or Sunday morn­ ing." "I am committed to fundamen­ tally changing the environment whereby responsibility, dignity, and civility in in­ terpersonal relationships become the ac­ cepted norm," Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski said Wednesday afternoon. The press release (the full text of which appears on the Backpage of The Appalachian) describes two measures Borkowski has asked university officials to take. The first is a series of what the release calls, "teach-ins" which will take place in the residence halls and will be "mandatory" for on-campus residents. The "teach-ins", which are described as "seminars on building positive interper­ sonal relationships with peers," will be scheduled to occur in all 18 residence halls within the next ten days. The second measure Borkowski has called for is a review of "student in­ teraction, sexual assault issues, opportu­ nities for entertainment-based activities, residence hall operations, and campus policies and student practices regarding alcohol and drugs," by the Task Force on Student Life. The Task Force was recently created and members include under­ graduate and graduate students, members of the faculty, parents, and trustees. In response to student sugges­ tions about the way past incidents were handled by the university, the administra­ tion sought student input when deciding how to handle concerns about safety. An emergency meeting of the Vice Chancellor's Leadership Cabinet was called Tuesday afternoon to gather student leaders and university officials to gener­ ate ideas. The students on the cabinet dis­ cussed possible ways to communicate to their peers the facts about the alleged sexual assault and how to increase safety on the Appalachian campus. "Two products of our suggestions have already been implemented," said Nakia Hardy, president of the National Panhellenic Council and member of the cabinet. 'The first is the distribution of the press release to on-campus students as well as publication of it in the newspa­ per, and the second is An Appalachian Community Meeting which will take place next week," said Hardy. The meeting will be hosted by the Leadership Cabinet and was organized so that, "students and community members could hear the facts and respond in a pro­ ductive way," said Hardy. Cabinet mem­ bers will form a panel along with Borkowski and members of the university staff such as University Police Captain Larry Foster who will be available to anwer questions. According to other cabinet mem­ bers, An Appalachian Community Meet­ ing will occur some time next week with a date and meeting place to be announced soon. "I am always deeply concerned when something this terrible occurs here at Ap­ palachian," said Kaye Cranford, president of the student government association and cabinet member. "I am supportive of the previous and current efforts of the Appalachian admin­ istration to ensure Appalachian's environ­ ment is conducive to learning," she said. At press time University police said that no charges had been filed in relation to the alleged sexual assault over the weekend. The press release issued yes­ terday stated that University police imme­ diately launched an investigation of the alleged incident and that the woman has been "strongly encouraged" to file crimi­ nal charges. Captain Foster said he could not comment on the investigation. SGA meeting covers Gray's murderer dies new diversity program Beth Bliss Staff Writer The Student Government Asso­ ciation resumed Tuesday evening with its tenth business meeting of the 1996-97 school year. The SGA senate was addressed by representatives of the Diversity Advo­ cates program, which is currently being established by the Multicultural Center of the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership and the Multicultural Commit­ tee out of the Office of Housing and Resi­ dence Life. According to speaker Maria Zale, residence director of Coffey Residence Hall, the Diversity Advocates program is being pioneered with the hope that uni­ versity students will have a group to talk to if they have questions concerning di­ versity on campus. "(The Diversity Advocates) will be a group of students who will facilitate discussions concerning religion, sexual preference, race, and other areas of di­ versity," Zale said. "Many people come to Boone and think diversity involves see­ ing 'granolas' on campus. Diversity in­ cludes much more." Zale said the Diversity Advocates will work closely with people from the Counseling Center, campus ministry and other departments in order to train mem­ bers. Diversity Advocates will be trained in order to answer questions, facilitate discussions and handle disputes within such discussions. "Basically we'll be working with everyone we can get who is certified in (these) areas," she said. According to Zale, the Diversity Advocates will go to campus residence halls, classes and meetings of groups like SGA to present programs on different top­ ics concerning diversity. Members of the group will also attend mandatory bi­ monthly meetings in order to "educate (themselves) in order to educate others," she said. Speaker Maggie Lance, resident assistant at Appalachian Heights, told the senate that the Diversity Advocates will also be available to students who wish to publicize various hate crimes or verbal abuse that occur on campus. Lance said the group hopes to "attack issues before they happen again" and make sure such crimes are docu­ mented and recognized, even through something as simple as a information posted in each residence hall. Lance said that the Diversity Ad­ vocates will do more than simply present programs to students. It is hoped that members will also encourage classmates and friends to increase their tolerance for others. "It's an overall attitude," she said. Applications for the Diversity Advocates are due tomorrow and can be obtained from the Office of Residence Life in the John E.

Renee Cagle Managing Editor w Students receive Police Corps Scholarships ASU News Bureau Two Appalachian students have been awarded competitive Police Corps scholarships valued at up to $30,000 each for four years of educational expenses. The students are Thomas Bradley Smith Jr. of Hope Mills and Fred Spruill of Edenton. The awards were presented Jan. 17 by Richard Moore, secretary of the N.C. Department of Crime Control and Public Safety. "Police Corps is one of many efforts by Governor Jim Hunt and the State of North Carolina to support local law en­ forcement agencies," Moore said. Smith, a freshmen, was sponsored for the award by the Fayetteville Police Department and Spruill, a sophomore, was sponsored by the Chowan County Sheriffs Department. Smith plans to major in criminal jus­ tice and his ultimate goal is to join the N.C. Highway Patrol. Spruill is a computer information systems major. His father is a sheriff in Chowan County and his brother is a deputy sheriff in Perquimmons County. Spruill said he recognizes the in­ creased use of technology in law enforce­ ment and wants to use his talents in that area. "We are... especially proud of the two young men who have so very early in their lives expressed a desire to serve others," said Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski. The scholarship covers educational expenses, including tuition, fees, books and supplies, transportation, and room and board. Each student participating in the program agrees to work for the sponsor­ ing law enforcement agency for four years upon graduation. �every 3 minutes in the United States (FBI statistics) One out of 3 women can expect to be assaulted during her lifetime. College students are more vulner­ able to rape than any other age group. One out of every 6 female college students has been a victim of rape or attempted rape. Over 80% of rapes on college campuses were committed by people known to the victim. More than 90% of college rape victims did not report the rape to police and more than 33% did not discuss the experience with anyone. In one study, 64% of college men reported that they might force sex on a woman if they were reasonably certain that they would not get caught.

Editor's Note Vanessa Urruela •• • • • • • As a member of the Vice Chancellor's Leadership Cabinet, I would like to extend an invitation to the students, faculty and staff here at Appalachian. As indicated in the article I wrote about the alleged sexual assault which was re­ ported to have occurred on campus over the weekend, fellow members of the Cabinet and I will host An Appalachian Community Meet­ ing next week, in the Student Union. Though the date has still not been con­ firmed, I think that this event is certainly not to be missed. Statistics tell us that about one in every four women will be sexually assaulted in her lifetime. In many cases, sexual assaults hap­ pen while a woman is in college. Did you know that the most common time period that college women are sexually assaulted is dur­ ing their very first semester? Sexual assault is one of many safety is­ sues that have come into the public's atten­ tion recently here at Appalachian. It is im­ portant that members of the university com­ munity work together to take steps to pro­ hibit as many crimes as possible from hap­ pening in the environment we either live, study or work in. An Appalachian Community Meeting was organized by members of the Leadership Cabinet to bring the administration and staff of the university together with students and faculty to provide a venue for constructive, pro-active discussion. Here's what you can expect to see and hear during An Appalachian Community Meeting: the Chancellor and other adminis­ trators expressing their genuine concern for student welfare and safety, members of the Leadership Cabinet (who are students) tak­ ing action, and other special guests like Cap­ tain Larry Foster who works hard to provide as much security as possible on our campus. A question and answer session will be held after a presentation of brief comments from the panel. Please, if you have any spare time on the night that this event will be held, come and join us. Even if you just sit and listen, you will add to the number of people who are sincerely interested in working to effect posi tive changes. It's time for the university community to come together and stop blaming individuals and organizations for the way that safety is handled at Appalachian.

My Turn As most of you already know from a flyer under by Matt Bielejeski your doors, Booth Communications changed their channel line-up and now offers 67 channels. I didn't Columnist know there were that many channels (maybe the Brazilian Sumo Wrestling Channel is included) out there. Because of ASUs current cable receiving facili­ ties, we can only receive channels 2-39. Some dorms may be able to receive a few more, due to their prox­ to me that we're paying for something we are cur­ rently not receiving. imity to the houses across the street. To get a reply to this all too important question, After talking with Dr. Alfred Rapp, the Associate I talked to Robert Feid, the Associate Vice Chancellor Vice Chancellor for Finance, I was told that a rough estimate of the cost to receive all 67 channels was of Student Development. He explained that ASU $200,000. Money has al­ ready been allocated and is waiting to be used. How­ ever, school engineers are working on the installation process as we speak. In simplified terms (the only kind I know how to give), the fiber optics for the dorms to receive all 67 chan­ nels are already in the ground. What we need now is a stronger main receiver to receive the signal from Booth Communications. From that main receiver, signed a contract with Booth Communications that there needs to be a unit in each residence hall to gave ASU the power to receive the cable signal for a receive that signal and splice it to individual rooms. significantly less amount of money than normal cable Whew! That's quite a mouthful. There are two subscribers pay. When ASU first signed this contract, the option of having the school purchase a satellite things that bug me about this whole situation. The first fact that rubs me the wrong way is that dish was investigated. Finding that the contract with we pay around $810 a semester for room and board. Booth Communications would be more economical, Included in that cost is cable service. Well, it seems ASU signed the contract. Question number two revolves around the let­ ter that Housing sent to us. The letter reads, and I quote, "We were notified on December 4,1996, that Booth Communications was going to change the channel line-up effective Monday, January 6,1997." Okay, if Housing knew about the channel changes on the 4th, why was no attempt made to contact stu­ dents, all of which were here (or supposed to be here) on the 5th and 6th of January? If a response that quick would be deemed for the likes of Super-Notifi­ cation Man, why not tell us during exam week, when the majority of the student body was here? Person­ ally, 1 (like many residents in East Hall) would like to know if the channel that airs Jerry Springer is no longer, available. I tried to get in contact with Brad Reid, the Di­ rector of Housing, four times, but he was either in a meeting or out of the office. Now of course, ASU has not been lax in trying to stem the flood of the cable problem. Equipment is on order for receiv­ ers which will allow us to receive 6 more channels, which are: CNBC Discovery Channel A&E TLC C-Span History Channel God knows I watch every one of those channels reli­ giously. But the reason given by Robert Feid for choos­ ing these channels was, "that they revolved around academics." Okay, okay. I guess 1 can understand that. My question is: why were we not told earlier? If Housing knew about the channel changes on December 4th, why was no attempt made to contact students on the 5th or 6th of January when everyone was supposed to be here? The Emperor Strikes Back Voters in California and Arizona sent a firm message to state officials opposed to propositions 215 and 200, which called for cannabis to be allowed for medici­ nal use. Leave doctors and patients out of the war on drugs. The propositions were successful and marijuana's medicinal properties were officially ap­ proved by the majority of voters in the two states. On December 26, 1996, I was fortunate enough to talk with Jack Herer (the man whose research for his enlightening book, "The Emperor Wears No Clothes," began the modern hemp movement), about federal government attempts in California to convince doc­ tors that if they prescribed cannabis they would be prosecuted under federal laws against marijuana. Four days later, drug czar Barry McCaffrey and At­ torney General Janet Reno held a special press con­ ference to publicize their ideas on the issue. Their ideas were to arrest doctors who prescribed mari­ juana, arrest caregivers who might grow marijuana for terminally ill friends who are unable to, and fi­ nally, arrest those patients who use marijuana as medicine. In short they have chosen to, as Herer put it, "outlaw the natural." McCaffrey and Reno based this attack against democ­ racy on the implication that the bills were designed to give children access to more marijuana. Children in this country, who have never had a voice in poli­ tics, have been used as scapegoat scare tactics against the public's knowledge and freedom ever since the beginning of marijuana prohibition. (Rent the movie "Reefer Madness." It's a prime example of what the public was taught prior to federal laws against the drug being passed.) How could patients smoking marijuana possibly af­ fect the percentage of young smokers more than pro­ hibition does? In 1995, before the two propositions Viewpoint by Andrew Harley Columnist were even known outside of their respective states, the number of marijuana arrests in the U.S. broke the world record for any country, of all time, with a stellar 588,963 arrests, 86 percent of which were sim­ ply for possession! Nationwide, however, marijuana use among eighth graders is sky-rocketing, proof enough that stringent marijuana policies do not ef­ fectively curb adolescent use. They also told Americans that voters in the states involved with the two propositions (in California es­ pecially, where the vote was close), were lied to and "tricked" about marijuana's medicinal benefits by "drug addicts" with enough money to pay for media time. That's an insult to anyone who voted. Yes, donations came from marijuana smokers, who are by no means "drug addicts," and who funded the proposition for compassionate use reasons. Geneficiaries also included non-smokers, who funded it for the same reasons as the smokers. No one from the pharmaceutical industry funded it, you can bet on that. Medical marijuana means billions of dollars up in smoke for them. They currently donate mil­ lions of dollars to anti-marijuana groups such as the Partnership For a Drug Free America. The question is, however, how does our federal gov­ ernment justify refusing the requests of patients who can benefit from natural medicine, by trying to over­ rule medical marijuana laws, while ignoring Ohio's new marijuana initiative, which, in reality comes closer to decriminalization? While the feds have raised hell over the public's support of smoking can­ nabis to alleviate numerous ailments, they have ig­ nored the new law in Ohio which makes cultivation of under 99 grams of cannabis a misdemeanor. Any­ thing more than 99 grams and less than 200 grams is a fourth degree misdemeanor. Previously, Ohio marijuana smokers would have faced a 6-10 year prison sentence for growing that much cannabis. Is it ironic that state laws decriminalizing casual use and growth of marijuana are virtually ignored and state laws stressing the medical use of the same flower are worthy of federal intervention? Or is our gov­ ernment protecting the financial interests of a phar­ maceutical industry which has held a monopoly on medicine since cannabis prohibition laws took effect? The U.S. Federal government has been engaged in a unique "war" since 1937, a war against it's own people and the extremely resourceful hemp plant. Our gov­ ernment was founded on the idea of individual lib­ eration from one-sided tyrannical rulers. They made that clear when they told the world that human be­ ings "are endowed by their creator with certain in­ alienable rights." I personally believe that elected officials should have to memorize the Declaration of Independence as a prerequisite to being sworn in, and after they take office they should carry a copy of the United States Constitution with them wherever they go. Maybe then they will realize it was written as a sort of insurance for the people, protection from these "central authority" types of legislative abomi­ nations against the personal freedoms that America was founded upon. Letters to The Editor One dog's lucky day Bob's hate mail To the Editor, Today I was at work in Trivette Hall and saw something very courageous along with everyone else in the office. I saw a dog step onto the ice on the duck pond. He slid on the ice and fell into the water. He tried effortless to get out of the water onto the ice. It was so sad to watch him reach but not get anywhere. People started to run toward the pond. A young man who was at the edge of the pond, stripped down to his t-shirt and shorts and jumped in the water to rescue the dog. I am a student worker inTrivette Hall. I was grateful for the young man who saved the dog and we, the staff, would like to thank and applaud the young man who saved the dog. This proves that good Samaritans still exist. And as my cousin says, "Every dog has his day." I am just glad that stranger cared enough to save the dog. To the Editor, I'm sorry Mr. Hutton that you are so jealous of Ms. Stanley's hate mail. It must be terrible for you. But Joy's article contained something that yours rarely do. Thought. Although I don't agree with her, and I think that her article shows no proof of any research, she put a ton of thought behind every, and that is very evident. It must take a lot of energy to write an article slamming rap music. I don't exactly dig on rap, really now - what's the point in slamming it? If you don't like it, do listen to it. Simple. Your most recent article, sadly, shows about as much research as Stanley's. The only exception is that her article was written with more maturity. (No sweeping suggestions of hallucinations of Bippo Monkey) The only reason people were outraged was because of the lack of research put into her article, some pans were just plain wrong. I find it also very saddening that you have formed stereotypes of people who smoke marijuana based on Cheech and Chong. (I bet Newt Gingrich's mind is still "fried" from his experiences with marijuana in college..whatever) People who toke, do it for themselves, not to enter­ tain those who strive to get hate mail and fell that they need to be trivial in the face of something that is extremely important in today's society. I won't in­ dulge into all the uses for the marijuana plant, be­ cause we all learned that last semester. Sorry you new freshman/transfers, I don't mean to exclude you. I hope that this suffices your thirst for hate mail, but if you want to receive more responses, write some­ thing worth talking about. Just a thought.

We are antici^ting careers, experiences, making our jgnt in the world, loves, life. Boone Jeff Sprouse Staff Writer ."Some people are easily duped, you know?" (The Archangel Michael, chan­ neled through Jeanne Hatch) The Archangel Michael seems to be popping up everywhere these days. The legendary leader of God's army that de­ feated Satan for control of the afterlife has one of the top grossing films of 1997. He is the focus of many sites on the internet, and on Wednesday, January 15, he appeared in the form of Jeanne Hatch, spiritual healer and channeler. Hatch, a late middle- age woman who eerily resembled my grandmother, sat in a wooden rocking chair and held crystals in her palms. Soon she was overcome by a smile, the signal that Michael was now with us. Hatch's husband John started the f tape recorder(tapes of this session as well as others are for sale), and Michael be­ gan to tell us his: How different would our outlook be if we knew that we were not supposed to still be alive? What would it be like if we lived with the constant reminder that no one is guaranteed a moment of life; that everything that we consider to be impor­ tant could instantly become very insignifi­ cant when compared to the question of whether or not we will live to see the next day? What if we faced death very day? Steve Sawyer does. He is HIV posi­ tive and has full blown AIDS. He has al­ ready outlived his life expectancy. Steve's time has run out. Sawyer is a hemophiliac. He con­ tracted the HIV virus through a series of over 100 blood transfusions back in the early 80's when the supply wasn't screened as well as it currently is. In 1990, when he was only 15, he was told that he had the HIV virus. During his senior year in high school he had his first serious bout with the virus. He lost 27 pounds in two weeks and his T- cell count was at 213 and falling. However, within four weeks he recov­ ered and then went on to graduate from high school. In 1993, he began attending Curry College in Boston. But by 1995 he was too weak to continue with school. He had cirrhosis of the liver due to the virus. That winter; Sawyer's life changed and he felt that he had a new sense of hope that he could share with others. For the past two years, Sawyers has traveled across the country telling his story and offering hope. Todd Williams, a staff member with Campus Crusade for Christ, who initially promoted Sawyer's visit to Appalachian, says, "It's rare to see someone in such a hopeless situation with such a spirit of hope." Williams says that students will defi­ nitely benefit from Sawyer's talk. "Almost everyone knows someone who has AIDS. If not, you will". Perhaps Sawyers will have some per­ tinent words of advice for those of us who don't have to go through what he is fac­ ing. Williams says "someone who faces death everyday probably has a good per­ spective on how to live". Since all of us will eventually be in Sawyer's shoes in one form or another, perhaps it would be wise to start thinking about it now, before we plan for the rest of our lives. Archansel Michael Oddity: channeled at Jones House "Prophecies for the New Millennium" -1997 This will be a year of startling events. Extraterrestrials, whose spaceship is disguised as a comet, will make contact with the earth. They will not be friendly. Michael says that the event will resemble the 80's miniseries "V". They will try to take over the planet. But not to worry, for the world shall unite and repel the invaders. But wait! Do not be deceived. The extraterrestrials, who come from a galaxy in the constellation Orion, are really aligned with Luciferian forces here on Earth (those big corporations, "greedheads" and people without love), who will use the invasion as a means to implant their New World Order. Another way they wish to achieve this goal is through eco­ nomic collapse. Michael says to sell any stocks you own because this year there is going to be a stock market crash. Through economic strife, one be­ comes more dependent on the Luciferian through December 21, a gateway will open to the fourth dimension. We now reside in the third of these dimensions. In order to get to the fourth, Michael says we must lighten our beings by speed­ ing up our vibrations. This can be achieved by letting love into your heart. And you better get on the bus because those that decide to stick around will be subject to the Great Polar Shift that will not only cause en­ vironmental havoc, but also erase all memories, much like a mag­ net does when placed near a floppy disk. Also the nice extraterrestrials (dif­ ferent from those aligned with Luciferian forces) who maintain the shield around the planet will turn it off after the last life is gone. They're getting tired. What shield? Michael says that the individual to ascend to the fourth di­ the sun is in red giant stage and that these extraterrestrials, being very kind, main­ mension. 2012- The Ascension and Great Polar tain a shield so that we will not be disin­ tegrated.

For that I have no an­ swer. I can only relate to you the bizarre energy and coincidences that occurred during the session. Besides the fact that we all payed ten dollars, there seemed to be a telepathic link between the participants, for ques­ tions I wanted to ask Michael were almost verbatim asked by others. He also ex­ plained my inexplicable draw towards the mountainous regions of America (I am a light healer and particular mountains house pyramids that will serve as healing centers in the coming Millennium). Above are only a few details of Michael's appearance and prophecies. There is much more to know. So if you find yourself wondering or scared and need reassurance, find consolation in the fact that you can hear the word of Michael on cassette. It sure is fortunate Jeanne's husband brought along his tape recorder. For more information, drop by Hatch's booth at the Wilcox Emporium in down­ town Boone. Theatre and Dance spring into action Darin Glass Staff Writer The Theatre and Dance Department is planning on a "professionally" run spring semester filled with new and fa­ miliar plays for the public. First off will be "True West"which is being produced in association with Flat Rock Playhouse, the state theatre in North Carolina and will play from Jan. 29 - Feb. 2. Performances will be at 8:00p.m. Tuesday - Saturday and at 2:00p.m. on Sunday. The cast will feature Appalachian alumnus David Matthews and Scott "headway, who is on the staff of the Flat Rock Playhouse. The play will be di­ rected by Terry Loughlin who acts and directs at Flatrock. Susan Cole, Department Chairper­ son, calls the play "very special" and is excited about the upcoming semester. "We have lots for everyone including children this semester," said Cole. She was referring to "Huckleberry Finn" which will be shown in March. There are also several one act plays being presented this semester. The one act plays are directed and produced by the students in the advanced directing class. The plays range from comedy to drama. Each bill of plays includes three works, each of which is performed on each of the three nights. Another familiar play which will be shown in April will be "Six Degrees of Separation." This was recently a major motion picture will Will Smith in the lead role. The Theatre and Dance department is looking foreward to an exciting start and hoping to share it with the students and the public. Ticket prices are $10 for adults and $5 for students.

Electing four steals. Tige Darner led the Mountaineers Davidson spent much of the night frustration, trying to press freshman with 19 points, hitting five three pointers. Appalachian stole the inbound pass and Darner appeared to be fouled as he threw up an errant shot which didn't even touch the rim. "I would like to see the tape; the guy grabbed my arm," said Darner "That's why the ball was so weak in getting up there. I'm interested in seeing the tape, but that's the way it goes sometimes." Appalachian's first conference loss came at the hands of Furman in Greenville, 59-55. The loss broke a threegame winning streak. "I'm very disappointed with tonight's effort," said Peterson of his team's performance. Two games before the Appalachian game, Furman played the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in Greenville on regional television, losing in horrid fashion. The halftime score said it all, UTC 50, Furman 12. "Probably one of the worst things for our team was seeing them on TV Thursday night," Peterson said after the game. Leading the Mountaineers in the losing effort was Junior Braswell with 17 points and 3 assists, while Darner also chipped in ten points on the night. "If there's anyone out there who "It's definitely not a good feeling to lose," said Tige after the game. "To lose this game to them hurts a lot." Senior guard Junior Braswell also chipped in 17 points and six assists. The game itself was marred somewhat by a questionable no-call at the end. With two seconds left on the clock should be tired, it's Junior, he's the one out there trying to get everyone fired up," said Peterson.

After a disappointig loss to Western Carolina, questions ;an to rise as to whether or not this im was as good as last year's squad. ie questions continued for the Mounineers after they dropped another conence game to Davidson 60-58 and a id game to South Carolina 76-63 bee defeating Marshall by a score of 71last week. This past Saturday, the Lady •untaineers defeated the Thundering ird of Marshall. Marshall, who also e into the game at 8-7, was another rn who had come into this season with lot of high expectations. Marshall was »cked as the preseason favorite to win ie Southern Conference in both the writs and the coaches polls. The Herd flexed their outside looting muscle in the first half, hitting ive of seven from beyond the three point rc. The lead was traded back and forth everal times in the first period before larshall finished the half with a flurry Bid took a six point advantage into the ocker room; leading 37-31.

On Appalachian's next posses­ sion, Davis was able to drive down the court for an easy layup. She then fol­ lowed with a three-pointer tying the game at 61. Thompson gave the Moun­ taineers the lead permanently with an­ other three-pointer that gave the Apps a 66-63 advantage with under five min­ utes to go. With only seconds left in the game, Erica Mathies sealed the victory with two critical free throws to push the lead to five, and secure the 71-66 win. The victory could not have come at a better time for the Mountaineers as they pulled their conference record back to .500 at 2-2. Meredith Thompson led the Mountaineers with 20 points and eight rebounds in one of her best games. Andreia Hinton also came up big for Ap­ palachian, cashing in on a doubledouble, scoring 18 points and snagging 14 rebounds for the winning cause. "I thought she was a board monster on de­ fense." said Appalachian Coach Linda Robinson. "She got into some jumping contests with some people her size and taller, and she out-wanted the basket­ ball." In the second half, the Lady Mountaineers were riding the crest of an emotional high. "We came out hyped and ready to go," said Robinson after the game. "Two more times in the game we went down six to eight points, and our kids had the look of wanting to win and stepped up." The biggest thing that came out of the Marshall win was the momentum the lady Mountaineers got. It was evi­ dent how confident the Mountaineers were during the warm-ups for the game against ETSU this past Monday, as they destroyed their conference rival handily See Basketball page 12 Appalachian's Andrea Hinton fights for the ball amongst several ETSU 'ayers Monday at Varsity Gymnasium, (photo by Dana Gardner!

With the Mountaineers only victory coming against Delaware State 43-6, Mance became the all-time winningest coach in the school's history.

Watkins compiled a 240-18 mark in 25 years as head coach, spanning from the inaugural 1933 season to his retirement in 1959. On reaching the Mountaineer coaching milestone, Mance added: "I am very grateful to have followed (Red) Watkins. He is the man who built this program into what it is today. When you have been in one place as long as I have you can do just about anything." Mance was honored for his achievement during Tuesday's match with Carson-Newman.

"I am deeply hurt and grieved that anyone has to go through such a traumatic experience, and we are not going to tolerate this kind of behavior on our campus. "Sexual assault is not about love or caring or caring or respect. Sexual assault is a crime , a felony. It is about abuse of physical power, about control and humiliation.

Volume 71, Number 25 Appalachian State University Boone, North Carolina 28608 A break in a dry sprinkler system pipe in the Appalachian Heights attic sent over 700 hun­ dred gallons of water into students' apartments just after 5 p.m. yes­ terday. According to Dr. Clyde Robbins, director of design and construction, the fire alarm system was triggered by the break caus­ ing students to evacuate the build­ ing before the water spread down­ ward from the attic. The building was closed for more than three hours while clean-up crews worked to remove water and mini­ mize damage. Appalachian Heights resi­ dents experienced a very similar event in January of 1995 when a break in the dry sprinkler system line destroyed about the same number of apartments and caused some residents to move. "Last night's events were so identical to those of two January's ago that it's not even funny," said Reid. "It was almost a mirror image of what happened," he said. Monday night many stu­ dents waited outside the building in cars during the clean-up pro­ cess, wondering what was happen­ ing.

According to Reid, an in­ dependent contractor will soon visit Appalachian Heights to in­ spect the sprinkler system and see what should be done to correct the problem. "We're clearly going to have to take a look at the situa­ tion. This is the second time this has happened and it's just not ac­ ceptable," said Borkowski. "The best part of this whole situation was that residents pulled together to help each other out. On my floor residents helped the women in 108 move their pos­ sessions out and offered them clothing," said Smith. "It was really great to see the residents and my staff helping everyone out. I was so impressed by the way people from the build­ ing pulled together," said Jared Rorrer, resident director at Appa­ lachian Heights. Baby, it's cold outside Borkowski addresses faculty Renee Cagle Managing Editor "We are in the midst of a very creative period at Appala­ chian," said Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski in his address to Appa­ lachian faculty and staff. He dis­ cussed the attitudes toward the university, increased faculty sala­ ries, and campus safety January 6. Last fall Borkowski told the faculty that a four and a half percent increase was legislated and with outstanding performance an additional half percent would be added. "Through a variety of internal reallocations, we were able to increase that salary level to seven percent," said Borkowski. Appalachian faculty received the largest pay increase in the 16 cam­ pus UNC system. The Chancellor also ad­ dressed the recent alleged rapes which occurred off campus last year. He JUIU un. two incidents are nv, said the irru iiiviuuuw ui\— being investigated by local police and the sheriff's department since the alleged crimes happened offcampus. 'The university responded vigorously and responsibly, provid­ ing immediate assistance to the victims and placed the fraternity (where the first incident allegedly occurred) on strict probation for failure to comply with regulations for a social event," said Borkowski. Due to these incidents, Borkowski said he would be ap­ pointing a campus security com­ mittee, which will be reviewing safety issues and recommending improvements. He said that loca­ tions of blue light phones will be reviewed and phones will be placed at State Farm and Horn in the West parking lots. Borkowski also said rape awareness sessions will be strengthened in freshman seminar classes and in freshman orienta­ tion sessions. He also approved the recommendation by SGA that university police assume the job of running Mountaineer Escort. " I want the Campus Se­ vuiu^ Committee to v-Auiiuiiv. such IU examine curity VjWlllllll lothings as campus lighting, the lo­ cation of emergency call boxes, and access to buildings - especially residence halls, and any other ar­ eas it feels need our attention. I want the committee to be particu­ larly alert to conditions that could create opportunities for unlawful activity or cause students, faculty, or staff to be concerned for their personal well-being," said Borkowski later that week. Borkowski also discussed a feasibility study, which looked at perceptions of and attitudes to­ ward the university as well as other issues. The findings were that many praised the "family style" of the university and called the atmosphere of Appalachian its "greatest asset." "ASU's human touch was mentioned frequently by respon­ dents as an institutional character­ istic that distinguished the univer­ sity from its competition," said Borkowski. Borkowski ended by say­ ing," When this decade concludes Appalachian will most certainly be recognized as among the very best comprehensive universities in the vvtu|rtv.ivi».>. new century." College of Education gets 5 year accreditation . . kl _ ASU News Bureau It's one of the best report cards a college of education can receive: continuing accreditation from the National Council for Ac­ creditation of Teacher Education. Appalachian State University's Reich College of Edu­ cation has earned the five-year continuing accreditation. The col­ lege is one of 500 teacher educa­ tion programs in the nation to have the NCATE accreditation. "It's reassuring that our program meets national stan­ dards," said Charles Duke, dean of the education college. "It's a good yardstick in terms of measuring progress." NCATE is the only agency in the United States that accredits teacher education programs, Duke said. The continuing accreditation designation followed an on-site review by a visiting team of fac­ of f ulty from other NCATE accredited institutions. The accrediting team makes its recommendations to the national council based on faculty interviews and a review of the college's program. "The review process forces you to take a good hard look at your program," Duke said. "It see College p.2 Students Tamera Deas and Clayton Coltman discuss the cold weather outside Legends.

How weather makes people lose their reasoning.... We know keeping this campus ice-free is a difultand sometimes a never-ending job but we have me suggestions when it comes to where to put t so necessary, de-icing salt. For instance, most of the many stairs and steps ,-campus are clear after it snows (thanks to the jintenance crew) but what's the point if there is , on all the railings? In order to keep from falling i any patches of ice that may be left, one usually • on to railings but if there's ice on that, you jght as well prepare to take a good fall. Here at £ Appalachian we fail to see the logic in this. What's up with the snow plows in the parking g? What are they thinking? They come through raping the snow and ice only to pile it up behind the cars. If you're in a Honda, you can forget ,out that trip to K-mart. Most students don't have owshovels lying around the room to dig themjves out. Getting stuck in a parking lot because iU can't get your car out is no fun. The snowplowers should realize this and ivethe snow the plow from the middle of the parkglots to the ends of the lots. This would prevent e snow from trapping people. The weather also causes what we like to call hat idiot over there wearing shorts" to become e topic of conversation for people passing along i sidewalks and on the AppalCART. This person is not really a rare sight and in fact, you watch long enough, he or she will pop up hen you least expect it. This person is typically oving very quickly and looks downward to avoid rious stares of disbelief. He or she is usually earing heavy, warm clothes on the top half of the dy and shorts. So, we must ask ourselves, how is it that our oriderfully schizo Mother Nature causes these idisto venture out in too little clothing? Didn't their jther teach them how to stay warm? Winter in Boone is hard on everyone but let's il use a little common sense. Student Union needs to reunite... Did you know the student union is really two fferent buildings? We learned this last year when e fire alarm went off in the new part, while the iginal section's alarm stayed silent. The doors ading to the new edition closed, while our office, e Student Government office, the Center for Stu­ nt Involvemnet and Leadership, Outdoors Proams, and several others offices were unaware that e building was quite possibly on fire. We just sumed the alarms and intercoms would be hooked 'gether between the two. Were we ever wrong. On January 8 we learned the opposite. This as also the night of all the snow. While we were orking and trying to complete our first edition of it spring semester , in walks a union worker askg if we heard the announcement about closing ie union because of the weather. Well of course e hadn't heard because the union is still not unixi. Would it really be so difficult to connect the arms and the intercoms so that everyone can hear Hen announcements are made or so we can save ^rselves from a possible fire?

News Editor Bethany Parrish Photography Editor John Starling Features Editor Jeremy Ball Asst. Features Editor Abortion |A WB My Turn by Joy Stanley Columnist "I stood at the doctor's side and watched him perform a partial-birth abortion on a woman who was six months pregnant. The baby's heartbeat was clearly visible on the ultrasound screen. The doctor delivered the baby's body and arms, everything but his little head. The baby's body was moving. His little fingers were clasping together. He was kicking his feet. The doctor took a pair of scissors and inserted them into the back of the baby's head, and the baby's arms jerked out in a flinch, a startled reaction, like a baby does when he thinks that he might fall. Then the doctor opened up the scissors. He stuck the high-powered suction tube into the hole and sucked the baby's brains out. Now the baby was completely limp. I never went back to the clinic. But I am still haunted by the face of that little boy. It was the most perfect, angelic face I have ever seen." This is what nurse Brenda Pratt Shafer stated after she quit working in an abortion clinic she was assigned to three years ago. She considered herself to be a strong "pro-choicer," but after witnessing the cruel killing of an innocent child, she began to change her mind. It is amazing how people get upset about those who choose to die in the hands of Dr. Kevorkian, or want guilty criminals to be executed with the least amount of pain, but when it comes to the life of a child who cannot express its choice, it does not mat­ ter. Each person on the face of this earth has a pur­ pose, whether they accept that fact or not. Just imagine...what would it have been like if you had been aborted? Think of all the people who would have missed out on being around you, hearing your laughter, or simply seeing your smile? What about those who have helped you through­ out your life? Suppose they were not there? Even though a person may not always think about it, they are special to someone out there, just like that unborn child that is waiting to touch the lives of others when it is born. Yes, there is the exception when the mother of the child is faced with death, but most of the time abortion is used as a form of birth control. From conception, the child is a complex, dy- A Gruesome Reality namic, rapidly growing organism. At two and a half weeks, the baby's blood cells and heart form. And at three weeks, the nervous system forms, which means the developing child can feel pain. At one month, the child is like a one-inch miniature doll, equipped with everything the adult has, only smaller After a month, the child is able to be aborted through the methods of Dilation and Curettage (D&C), and suction. In the D&C method, the child is removed by being cut into pieces with a sharp knife. During the suction method, the child is torn to pieces by a suction machine that is 29 times as powerful as a home vacuum cleaner. At three to five months, the child can be aborted by Dilation and Evacuation (D&E), prostaglandin, and salt/saline solution poisoning. The child is ei­ ther cut to pieces with a sharp knife, stabbed con­ tinuously, or inflicted with innumerable knife wounds until it dies. Prostaglandin is a procedure where the child is subjected to violent muscle contractions as it is forced out of the womb. Sometimes the child may be de­ capitated because of the force of the contractions. The death of the child could also come from the im­ pairment of its heart and circulation of blood. The child has pain similar to that of a person experienc­ ing a severe heart attack. In the salt/saline solution procedure, the child is bathed in a chemical solution that poisons the baby and burns its skin. The salt is so concentrated that it chemically burns human flesh. A baby who is aborted this way looks as if it has been subjected to an attack with napalm. The baby feels the same agony as an adult who has suffered third degree burns over 80 to 90 per­ cent of his body. The baby squirms, throws itself around and shows a grimacing pattern of withdrawal. How can this be possible? How can a life be destroyed so violently? A life created by God that is waiting to live, just as we are now. A child with birth defects or conceived from rape is of no less value than the others. They should have a chance to live also. At the time, the child may seem to be a mistake or burden, but in the end the child may be a bless­ ing. That child may have been one of the doctors who would have found a cure for cancer or AIDS. In today's society, it takes courage to stand up against all of the pressures and inconveniences which push towards abortion. And it takes even more cour­ age to keep a child. Abortion appears to be a conve­ nient way to avoid the consequences of an unwanted pregnancy, but it is actually the ending of an inno­ cent human life. Abortion may be legal, and it may seem right at the time, but it is the death of a child...not an insig­ nificant mass of cells. Just remember, for every time a child has been aborted, the world has lost a pre­ cious jewel...a treasure. Are you an official moron? From late night fire alarms to new drivers Viewpoint by Matt Bielejeski Columnist Did you ever wonder how stupid people manage to make it from day to day? Now, I'm not talking about people who are mildly dense or slow to catch on to jokes, I'm talking about the people who still haven't figured out why the concept of "Instant Wa­ ter-Just Add Water" doesn't work that well. A perfect example of the kind of stupidity I'm talking about occurs about once a month on cam­ pus. Some fool hasn't figured out how to nuke pop­ corn in the microwave properly. In the process of their feeble attempt at late-night nourishment, the popcorn bag catches on fire, setting the fire alarm off and forcing the whole building to evacuate. For those of you lucky enough not to have heard a fire siren in your building, allow me to describe it to you. The sound emitted is a alternating high-low pitch that reminds me of whale mating sounds from a National Geographic special. The first time I heard the alarm, I didn't evacuate because I thought it was someone down the hall playing their "Chant" CD too loud. To make the situation worse, the aforementioned fool (hereafter referred to as "Moron") sets off the alarm at 2:30 a.m., when most people are asleep or at least thinking about trudging up the stairs to their bed. , Compounding the problem even more, the en­ tire population of the residence hall (read: 'lynch mob") is without the benefit of heavy clothing, since they were so quickly moved outside. On top of all of these happenings, the firemen take around 30-45 minutes to show up and give the OK, leaving the lynch mob time to get frostbite and plot the demise of the Moron. I feel very safe if there actually was a fire. I myself have been trying to come up with a suit­ able punishment for those found guilty of doing some­ thing completely stupid. After much pondering and scratching my head, I have devised a system that will identify possible morons before they can cause too much trouble. The process involves teenagers getting their driver's licenses at 16. When someone takes the driv­ ing test, he is also tested to see whether he is truly, inherently stupid. After taking the written exam, another piece of paper is handed to the prospective driver: the Moron Exam. The Moron Exam consists of multiple choice ques­ tions that give various responses to situations in which stupidity could arise. One of the choices is the Idiot Response. Out of 20 questions, if more than four answers are Idiot Responses, the examee gets a num­ ber code on their license, explained on the back as being "irrevocably, undeniably, stupid." When the examee (now a tried and true Moron) receives his license, he also gets another laminated card: the Stupid Check Card. From that point for­ ward, before the Moron is allowed to do anything while other people are within a 15 feet of him, he must check with the Intelligence Patrol checkpoint. Intelligence Patrol checkpoints are stationed all over the country, with one checkpoint per quarter mile. Manned by people who passed the Moron Exam, these checkpoints create jobs for the commu­ nity as well as preventing possible stupidity. For example, a certified Moron decides to get some breakfast. He walks into a bagel establishment. Before he orders and says something stupid like, "Do you guys have doughnuts?" he must first go to the Intelligence Patrol checkpoint in the restaurant. The moron asks the question of the Patrol officer, the of­ ficer directs him to the correct question to ask, and the Moron enters the line. Before ordering, the Moron presents his Stupid Check Card to the employee and declares, "I'm stu­ pid. Watch out!" Now that the employee knows that his prospective customer is indeed a Moron, he can watch for warning signs given off by the Moron to alleviate any distress to other customers. Guided by the wisdom of the Intelligence Patrol officer and the alert employee, the stupid problem is solved. Before people start sending Letters to the Editor that scream, "Stupid people have rights too!" under­ stand that most people are not certifiable Morons. But, for those who are, their stupidity does not need to affect society. Ship them off to an uninhab­ ited South Pacific island or something, I don't know. All we know is still infinetly less than all that still remains unknown" -William Harvey Grass Fu The Legend Continues Down Home with Bob Hutton Columnist I am very jealous of Joy Stanley. I sit here slaving over a hot Macintosh, knock­ ing out article after article written with the express purpose of enraging my readers and end up hardly garnering one decent angry response. Ms. Stanley on the other hand, writes one humble article arguing against the legalization of marijuana ("Where Were You While You Were Get­ ting High?", 11/12/96) and seemingly honks off half the student body. The November 21 letter column was full of in­ censed responses in defense of the sacred cannabis cow from people I assume to be our university's most prominent potheads, all of whom calling for the decapitation of my gutsy colleague. Not to mention the "nasty" phone messages received by Ms. Stanley that she herself mentions in the same letter column. It's enough to make this columnist feel almost unwanted. What about me? Aren't I controversial enough for you? What do you want me to do, write about abortion? Don't worry, I'm not that desperate. But don't push me. I know. 1 shouldn't complain. I've gotten my share of less than favorable feedback. I've earned exactly two negative letters to the editor (both of which I'm extremely proud of) and a host of my very own nasty phone calls (of which I'm even prouder). I've even heard from a few people who liked my articles but what fun is that? I don't need other people to tell me I'm right. One phone call from late last semester (received thanks to my roommate's answering machine) that I especially treasure was from a young half-wit who threatened to beat me "to a bloody pulp" for refer­ ring to (c)rap music (I'm compromising by calling it music) as (c)rap. This was hardly a major point of the article in question and I can scarcely imag­ ine how even the most moronically superficial reader could be so angry over a dissenting opinion regarding musical tastes. Maybe he was a rapper himself (1 kind of doubt it though; he didn't begin his message with a "yo-yo-yo"). So 1 really don't have much to complain about in the hate mail/call department. The quantity was one thing but the quality was another. After I got over my jealous fit I took the time to read the letters regarding Ms. Stanley's ar­ ticle and ended up feeling a little better. It turns out that I wasn't missing out on much after all. While most of the letters at least contained a few morsels of validity (well, one did anyway) they led me to question the priorities of some of this school's student body. Man, you kids sure like the grass don't you? No wonder the dealer on my hall can afford such nice stuff. I mean, I never realized that drugs were such an integral part of your little lives. We've got our own little Dallas Cowboys organization right here at ASU don't we (insert comparisons between Chancellor Borkowski and Jerry Jones here)? Seriously, can't you people think of anything more important to get riled up about or is the pos sibility of legalized marijuana the most important thing we have to be concerned with? My favorite bit was the part where the one let­ ter writer said, "Hello, our government is as cor rupt as they come." It made me giggle, not just because he said hello in the middle of the para graph for no apparent reason, but also because he cited that tired but ever-stylish "the-govemment is-evil" line. Now maybe this writer was some sort of deepcover CIA agent who knew some dark and arcane secret about the government's plan to train cap tured Sasquatches to slaughter baby dolphins for their meat to feed those guys that are chopping down the rain forests.. More likely, he was just some guy who thinks the X-Files is real. If you're reading this, Muster whatever, e-mail me and let me know which is the case. Don't get me wrong, I've got nothing personal against marijuana. In fact, I want as many people smoking it as possible. That way, while ya'll are sitting around with your brains fried, I'll have far less competition in the tough job market I sure could use the extra help after graduation, and if you guys want to make it that much easier for me to take advantage of you then I'm all for it. The problem I have with most pot smokers is that they're just not funny. Don't you people know that the marijuana smoker's sole purpose in life is, and always has been, to entertain the rest of us? You people write these uptight letters arguing about THC and how grass is better for you than tobacco. Who cares? What you're supposed to be doing is wandering around looking dazed and telling your • imaginary friend Bippo the Monkey that he's far out. Haven't anyof you people ever watched Cheech and Chong? You need to stop taking yourselves so seriously and start making the rest of us laugh. Oth­ erwise. I see no good reason to legalize the stuff. What it boils down to is, if marijuana is such an important part of your life that some article could enrage you this much, maybe you need to rethink things. Now maybe some of you people who wrote in are dealers and were just trying to defend your profession. That's perfectly understandable. If not, however, you might consider getting a life. Now. how about some of that hate mail? �-V22S* Page 6 The Appalachian 14 January The Appalachian Business Office is seeking applicants for the following postions Driver (Responsible for pick-up of newspaper in Lenoir.

Eating well not that hard at Appalachian Sandy Edwards Reporter Was your New Year's resolution to get in shape and to eat well for '97? I'm sure this seemed like a worthwhile venture when you were home over the break and you had more control over how your neals were prepared. But now that you've returned to school with limited choices, your resolution looks harder and harder to keep. Well, buck up. You can eat better on campus, but it requires a little ingenuity. The first step to eating right is eating regularly. At least three meals a day is considered normal eating according to information provided at the Wellness Cen­ ter. The next step is planning what to eat. Believe it or not, there are a number of low fat (meaning 30 percent or fewer calo­ ries from fat) choices provided by food services. Among your healthier food choices in the meat group, are a beef hoagie sandwich, beef tips with wine sauce, stuffed chicken, and baked fish. The veggie group is complete with corn on the cob (remember as you add butter, you increase the percentage of calories from fat), black-eyed peas, baked beans and baby carrots. In the grain categories, there are such dishes as Spanish rice, Texas toast, bagels, and bean and beef burritos. Hungry for a little dessert? You can choose from yogurt, peach crisp, jello and numerous others. For more detailed information, there is an extensive list available at the Wellness Center. This list was compiled from a senior honors project conducted in 1991 by Ashley Lewis. What should you stay away from? Breaded foods can wreak havoc on the heart. Cream sauce, Hollandaise and gravy are trimmings that should be avoided or used sparingly. And let's not forget those tempting, yet avoidable treats like deep-fried anything. I know what you're thinking, where do I go on campus to eat healthy? Well, that's easier than you think. All of the food service dining areas offer a variety of vegetables each day. The Food Court often has mashed potatoes, corn, peas and a number of beans. The Gold Room also offers a variety of vegetables and meat entrees. If pasta is your delight, then you might prefer to dine at Park Place Cafe. Park Place has the largest selection of pasta dishes on campus, although, you can find old fa­ vorites like spaghetti regularly at three of the four dining areas on campus. Salads are available everywhere except the Caf­ eteria. Other ideas include substituting. If you want to reduce the amount of meat you eat each week, substitute a meat serv­ ing with peanut butter between two slices of bread. Another great substitution is 1/ 4 of a cup of seeds. Sunflower seeds are readily available at most of the food ser­ vice salad bars and at Cascades. In addi­ tion to trade-offs, there are food combi­ nations like pizza, stir fry, and Mexican dishes. All in all, you can satisfy your daily nutritional requirements at all of the food establishments on campus. All the dining areas attempt to provide variety in their menu, as well as some items unique to their service. When thinking about eat­ ing well, it is important not to think in terms of limitations, but in terms of possi­ bilities. There are a range of food combina­ tions that you can undertake to meet nu­ tritional goals. Be adventurous, and try something new! Stereotypes: There must be more to life Jeremy Ball Reporter Well, it's a new semester and so, it's time for a new series. If you didn't buy into our many conspiracy theories (the truth IS out there), don't worry. You'll definitely relate to us this semester be­ cause we're finding out the truth about a subject we all deal with, stereotypes. We've all heard people stereotype others: "They're so weird. He's not my type. How many sorority girls does it take...?" Or, how about these labels: hippies, fiat boys, political nuts, jocks, goths, al­ ternatives, fundamentalists, East hall resi­ dents, rednecks? You've heard them all. You've probably even used them to de­ scribe someone. Perhaps you have heard that every­ one at Wake Forest and Davidson models for J. Crew. Or, that Duke has a special application selection bus that only drives to New Jersey to get students, and NC State has special rooms for its students' farm animals. UNCGay? Offensive, yes, but you've heard it. And what are we? The Mountain­ eers, what exactly is a "Mountaineer"? Well, that's what the features staff is determined to discover this semester. Do we at Appalachian all fit neatly into those stereotyped categories that you've heard thrown around? If so, do the people in those categories meet our expectations? Does everyone who plays a sport have to have at least one neanderthal parent? Must everyone who has a belt buckle larger than his or her fist chew tobacco, support Dale Earnhart, ride wild bulls with cousin Jethro, and beat up at least one member of a minority group a week? Does every person who hangs out on the Mall have to wear hemp jewelry, lis­ ten to the Dead, and own a dog? Where do they keep those dogs anyway? And do sorority girls really have to trade in their brains (and other things) for a bid? "Delta, Delta, Delta, can we help ya', help ya', help ya'?" Is there really a category of "those people" or do we all just think that we're the normal ones? Over the next semester we're going to cover the most interesting part of Appalachian's campus, its students. We're going to find out what you do, what you believe, who you love, and who you hate. So, watch out Appalachian. We're coming, and we're going to find out who you are. Or at least, who you think you are. Students get their groove on at the DJ Dance Saturday night at Legend's.

It obviously cuts them to carry a tune. Not only have they seemed to mas­ ter the quiet-loud formula popularized by Nirvana and the Pixies, they have utilized the production skills of Steve Albini, who has recorded (punk lingo for produced) albums for both bands. Little Kurt (Gavin Rossdale) contin­ ues to annoy with his perpetually constipated-sounding voice. Bush has also found it beneficial to plug a little Smash­ ing Pumpkins into their sound on tunes like "Insect Kin." Another tune "A Tendency to Start Fires," only manages to start one fire in a place I'd rather not mention. Let's just say it hurts, much like listening to this album. Danny Elfman Music for a Darkened Theatre: Film and Television Music, Volume Two (MCA Soundtracks) Danny Elfman, the most far-reaching musical talent to emerge since Prince, presents this compilation of some of his most memorable scores and TV tid-bits. Elfman, also a member of the chic band, Oingo Boingo, lets folks hear of few moments of his prowess on the guitar, as Well as his flair for writing peculiar pieces. Of particular note are the bits from Pee Wee's Playhouse and the Nightmare Be­ fore Christmas. You'll also hear music you're familiar with, such as the samplings from Edward Scissorhands and Batman Returns. This is an interesting, albeit inconsistent, com­ pilation. Fine Young Cannibals The Finest (London/MCA) •• Who knew that these British pop rehashers had any hits? I certainly didn't remember anything other than "She Drives Me Crazy" and "Good Thing." The fact that FYC sounds like elec­ tronic beach music is scary enough. Even worse is that only two of the four recog­ nizable tunes on this compilation were written by the band. Though not an entirely horrible re­ lease, it suffers from the same short-com­ ing as the band: it's just not memorable. The Backsliders Throwin' Rocks at the Moon bad for a band from a town known for its heavy music streak. By The Way... If your into quirky stuff, try to hunt down Rhino's Jackpot: The Las Vegas Story. With tunes from the likes of Liberace, Paul Anka, Sammy Davis,Jr. and Eartha Kitt, it's wacky enough for you. In case you missed it when it came out in the fall, Satchel's The Family is an extraordinary effort from these Seattleites. Of particular note is the tune "Not Too Late." Not everything from the North­ west is grungy, with this band showing a sensitive, piano-playing side. Danny Elfman (right) pleases with his recently released compilation of film and television music. His flair for writing weird music makes for good listening. (Photo courtesy MCA records) Knoxvile, Tenn's Cran Torino (Mammoth/Atlantic) brings its blend of 60s rock •• • i and 70s funk to The Klondike This Raleigh-based band describes their style of music as "Hard Core Honky Tonk," a title that seems to fit them well. This album is very country-tinged, not so much in the vein of Son Volt, but a little more like authentic country. The lyrics border on shallowness at times, but that really seems to be the point. TTiis is the closest thing to alternative country as you could possibly get. The heavy acoustic and fuzz-tone side of the bands conflict at times. The more country-esque acoustic bits are far more fulfilling than the rockier parts. They sound a bit like Alabama, but distinctly updated for a nineties pop appeal. Not on Wednesday, Jan 15. Their live album, Live At The Chameleon Club, hits record stores soon and showcases the nine member band's live energy.

David Jackson Staff Writer After starting off the dual match •eason 0-4 at Central Michigan earlier this 0nth, the Appalachian State wrestling eam bounced back in a big way by parting Campbell 42-5 Saturday night lt varsity Gymnasium. With the victory, Head Coach Paul dance moved into a tie with R.W. "Red" \atkins for all-time victories as wrestling ^ch at Appalachian. With win number i40 under his belt, Mance needs just one "eam victory this weekend at the Wolfpack juals to take over the top spot. "Red Watkins is the father of pestling at Appalachian," said Mance. is the man that is responsible for the access of this program. I will always look jpto him and I feel very fortunate to have allowed him. When you have been here long as I have (21 years as head coach), ^0u can do just about anything." Mance achieved victory number 240 with his squad's overpowering performance against a Campbell team. Vith the Camels out to an early lead by virtue of a Mountaineer forfeit at the 118 lb. spot, Appalachian sophomore August Dennis knotted things back up at 6-6 by pinning Campbell's Gary Hughes with ten seconds remaining in the match. Dennis was dominating the match at the time of the pin, leading 12-2. Jeremy Hart put the Apps in the lead for good as he nailed down his 15th victory of the season by edging out the Camel's Billy Green by the score of 4-3 in the 134 lb. match. Appalachian continued to cruise past Campbell for the duration of the match. In addition to Dennis, 158 pounder Carl Barton and heavyweight Matt Kim won their matches by pins. Three other Mountaineers won by major decisions. Perhaps the most dramatic match of the evening came at the 190 lb. weight class. 1996 NCAA qualifier Eddy Clark came back to defeat Campbell's Hoss Rhoton in the closing seconds of the third period. With Rhoton ahead 3-2 with less than ten seconds remaining in the match, Clark overpowered the Camel grappler, landing him on his back and accumulating two points for the take­ down, giving him a 4-3 victory. After the match Campbell Head Coach Scon Miller was penalized one team point for arguing a stalling call with the referee. At that stage however, one point was not going to make a difference as the Mountaineers came away with a 42-5 win. "I thought our kids wrestled well tonight," said Mance after the match. "Last weekend had an effect on us. Our guys worked hard all week and came into this match with a different attitude. I don't think Campbell is as bad as we made them seem tonight. They are struggling with a lot of injuries right now, much like we were at Central Michigan." The Apps dominated the Camel's without the services of 1996 NCAA qualifiers Tony Hairston and Derek Strobel. The two are sidelined due to injuries suffered earlier in the season. The Mountaineers, now 1-4, travel to N.C. State Saturday afternoon to compete in the Wolfpack Duals. The next home match for the Appalachian grapplers will be a week from tonight, as the Apps host Carson-Newman with the first match beginning at 7:00 p.m. Appalachian's August Dennis in action Saturday against Campbell. Dennis pinned his opponent in less than seven minutes to give the Mountaineers their first points of the day. (photo by Dana Gaardner) Panthers have no need to despair after loss Mike Daniels Sports Editor sports commentary For all of you Carolina Panther ans out there, I know this was a sad week­ end. After getting all excited following the Dallas win, you spent the past week typing up your beloved Panthers before thing them be taken apart in Green Bay Sunday by league MVP Brett Favre and the Packers. The loss was an emo­ tional letdown, to say the least, for a group of rookie fans who had deemed their team a Super Bowl contender after they took the NFC West title, earning a first-round hye and a home playoff game in just their second year of existence. Although I am not a native of the Carolinas, or a huge Panther fan, I have rooted for this team since I arrived at Ap­ palachian in 1995 and have been forced to spend my Sunday's watching their games on television rather than my hometown Eagles. One thing that has struck me about the phenomenon surrounding this franchise is the support of its fans. Hav­ ing grown up in the Philadelphia area, supporting the professional sports in that city, I am amazed at the difference with which the Panthers are regarded in this area than the teams are where I'm from. For one thing, it amazed me to learn how quickly fans in Charlotte were willing to shell out tons of their dough to buy PSEs (Personal Seat Liscense) three years ago for a team that did not even exist. Once those fans who had bought the PSEs coughed up the money to pay for them, they were then asked to pay more money for the tickets themselves. I guess because they don't have much experience in attending profes­ sional sports games, Panther fans must have thought that this w^s a common .thing. Well, let me tell you, its not, and those of you out there who are season ticket hold­ ers and paid for this are getting ripped off. Its just lucky for you that the Panthers were so good this season; otherwise you might have totally wasted this money. Just think about how you'd be feeling right now if the Panthers had won only ten or eleven games the past two years and you had paid thou­ sands of dollars to see it. Another difference between what I would call rookie and veteran sports fans is the way rookie fans, like those of the Pan­ thers and the Jaguars, seem to mildly over­ rate their teams. Now I'm not talking about this year so much as last, when Panther fans thought their team was a legitimate play­ off contender after a few lucky wins. This year's squad, obviously a great team that deserved to get into the playoffs and a serious threat to win the NFC, was, if anything, underrated by sports people like myself. Along with a dominating defense, great chemistry and the best coaching in the league, the team had its jubilant fans to feed off of. It did not surprise me that they went 8-0 in Charlotte during the regular season, although I was surprised when they beat Dallas there. This was a feat I did not think they could accomplish, despite my undying hate for the Cowgirls and their front-running "fans". Basically, what I'm saying is that the Panthers are a great team with a very bright future, so there's no reason for me, or anyone else, to write a eulogy for this squad after their loss. This team is just beginning its run as a dominant force in the National Football League. For the fans, there's no reason for you to give up your coveted season tickets just yet. But just remember how much you're paying for them, and if Jerry Richardson's team ever begins to slack off and its number one priority becomes mak­ ing money and not winning Super Bowls, don't be afraid to dump those tickets. In this business the way to let a team know you really care about them is not through undying support at the games, but through how you spend your money on them.

(photo by Dana Gardner) Justin Griffin Assistant Sports Editor The men's basketball team has been on quite a tear as of late. In the past week, Appalachian has won two road games, whipping UNCGreensboro by a score of 78-70, and defeating Western Carolina this past Saturday in Cullowhee 81-76. Junior Braswell scored 27 points and dished out seven assists on Saturday as Appalachian recorded a double overtime victory over Western Carolina. The game was a battle of wills. " We were fortunate to come out with this one," Coach Buzz Peterson said. "At the end it was like a match between two boxers, slugging it out." Regulation ended in a 60-60 tie. Appalachian scored the first five points of the first overtime and Western Carolina went on an 8-0 run to lead 68-65 with 3.8 seconds left to play. Following a time out, Tige Darner hit a 3-pointer with .01 seconds left to send the game into the second overtime. "I knew everyone in the building thought the ball was going to Junior so I crossed him out," explained Peterson. " I knew Tige could hit it after all those times in practice." The last-minute shot stoked the Mountaineers as they went on to win 81-76 in the final overtime period. Kareem Livingston also gave the Mountaineers a needed lift, cashing in on a double-double, scoring 12 points and picking up 11 rebounds. The bench play was a very important aspect to the win over Western Carolina. Josh Grover, a 7'0" sophomore center, came off the bench to grab five rebounds. Terence Tyler came in to score two points, dish out two assists, and snag six rebounds. "Terence has really picked it up in the past couple of games," Peterson said after the game. 'Josh seems to get better every game." Last Monday, Kareem Livingston scored 23 points and collected seven rebounds to lead Appalachian to a 78-70 road victory over the Spartans of UNC-Greensboro. Peterson said before the game he felt that the main defensive focus for the Spartans was going to be Junior Braswell, who had 26 points in the meeting earlier this season. This time, as the focus of the Spartan defense, Braswell scored 14 points. Starting point guard Tyson Patterson got into early foul trouble, committing three fouls in the first half. The problem didn't seem to deter the Mountaineers. Matt McMahon, a walk-on freshman, came in the game for Patterson, hit a three, had two steals, and dished out two assists all in the course of about six minutes. Ian Adams also came in with some solid minutes. "I can't say enough about the play of Matt McMahon and Ian Adams," said Peterson after the game. Patterson, in 13 minutes played, scored nine points, hitting on 7 of 8 free throws in the closing minutes of the game. The two wins broke a pair of streaks that Mountaineer fans would rather forget. In beating Western Carolina, the Apps broke a five game losing streak that the Mountaineers had endured at the hands of the Catamounts. The UNC-Greensboro win marked the first road win on an opponent's home floor in 16 attempts. The win also marked the first time since the 1993-94 season that Appalachian has swept an opponent in regular season play. With the wins in hand, the Mountaineers started conference play with a 2-0 record, and have won three straight. The last time the Mountaineers won the first two games of conference play was during the 1989-90 season. The Mountaineers last won three straight basketball games during the 1993-94 season. �Page 10 The Appalachian 14 FRATERNITY % RUSH ^ ^ SPRING '97 ^ % KICKOFF w Grandfather Ballroom * Thursday, Jan. 16th ^ 6:00 until 8:00 & Come by and meet representatives from ASU's eleven social fraternities For more information, come by or call the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership (262-6252). rr fradfiW*n^s £°HeQhous, Location: Monday-Friday 7:00am-10:00pm Bottom Floor of Plemmons Student Union January \i% ARE YOU A FEMALE AND LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO LIVE FOR SPRING 1997???

ASU nterior design students preformed the majority of the renovations. (News Bureau Photo) Tradewinds caters to all tastes Jay Konstantaras Asst. News Editor The metamorphosis is :omplete. What was once the empty, dimly lit Hawksbill Pub has been xansforrned into the TVadewinds :offee House, a plush new caf which will open its doors to the public January 13. Tradewinds Coffees, a roasting and distributing company nased in Raleigh, has been chosen :o operate the new coffee house, which shares the company's name and logo. "We felt that Tradewinds] was pleasant sound­ ing, appealing and just as good as anything we could come up with," said Dave Robertson, director of Student Programs. Tradewinds was one of ave vendors who bid for the right to operate the new coffee house. Robertson said that Tradewinds was chosen by twelve home eco­ nomics students who sampled coffees from each of the bidding vendors. "We think students will enjoy the product they put out," Robertson said. Besides coffee-type bever­ ages such as espresso and cappuccino, Tradewinds will serve frozen drinks and ice cream-based beverages. Also on the menu will be cream and Italian sodas. "We want to be able to ac­ commodate non-coffee drinkers," said Tres Watkins, manager of the new coffee house. "Coffee houses are half about coffee and half about atmosphere." One thing Tradewinds won't accommodate is meal cards. Be­ cause Tradewinds is operated by an independent vendor, students won't be able to use their meal cards to purchase their beverages. Robertson said that Tradewinds and Food Services are currently negotiating a deal that would make the coffee house meal card-accessible at some point in the future. "[Tradewinds] would like for students to be able to use their meal cards, we just have to work out the details," he said. In addition to serving coffee, Tradewinds will also play host to low-key entertainment such as poetry readings and open mic nights for jazz musicians, pianists and acoustic guitarists. In the fu­ ture, students will also be able to check out board games and play ing cards with their student ID. The decision to renovate the pub into a coffee house came in October, when administrators and students decided that the pub could be put to better use as a place that, according to Robertson, "would be used by students on a more regular basis." The pub had been practically deserted since additions to the student union pro vided better areas for students to study and gather. Students from Appalachian's interior design classes provided the designs for the renovations, which far exceeded administrators' ex­ pectations. "It's got a real feel and class unlike anything else on campus," Robertson said. Vanessa Urruela Editor-in-Chief Yesterday evening Chancel­ lor Francis T. Borkowski held a meeting with campus women leaders to discuss women's issues at Appalachian. According to Borkowski, the meeting was held to inform students of measures the university is taking to better serve the female population and to get feedback from women. Topics covered in the open discussion ranged from campus safety to a lack of concentrated re­ sources for women at Appalachian. Borkowski said he feels that, "campus safety issues" need to be examined on a regular basis and that the just-forming Campus Safety Committee will "constandy assess policies, procedures and security issues and make recom­ mendations to the various divi­ sions within the university." Borkowski said that an outside consultant will visit Appa­ lachian to examine the university's overall policies, procedures and campus. The consultant will work with the new committee and se­ nior administrators. Jane Helm, vice chancellor for business affairs, reported that Mountaineer Escort has been a turned over to the university and that it will begin its new sevendays per week service from 5 p.m. until 1 a.m. on Monday. She also said that University Police are mak­ ing other efforts to better serve stu­ dents like the installation of more blue lights and the addition of a female investigator to the force. According to Helm, another avenue being explored by the Po­ lice is that of outside consultation. February 2-4, three heads of cam­ pus security from different colleges around the country will meet with university officials to critique the ASU Police Department. The po­ lice chiefs will work with ASU of­ ficials to improve the existing po­ lice system. How students get informa­ tion about crimes was an issue at the meeting. Barbara Daye, asso­ ciate vice chancellor for Student Development said that the admin­ istration has begun running infor­ mation for women and safety in­ formation on the "Backpage" of The Appalachian. Kaye Cranford, student gov­ ernment association president, said that any time students need information or resources, they can call the SGA office for help. The important thing is for students to know what resources are out there," said Catherine Brown, an ASU student. Fee increase for 1997-98 year Danny Sink Staff Writer The Appalachian State University Board of Trustees en­ dorsed a $211.50 per student fee increase last month for the 19971998 academic year. The largest part of this in­ crease is $120, which will be con­ tributed to room subsistence. Bob Feid, the associate vice chancellor for Student Development said the increase is due to higher utilities costs. One of the main reasons for the increase in utilities is the new steam plant, which is under a 30 year bond. Starting in 1998, the pay­ ments on the bond will come to $300,000 per year, accounting for almost 1/4 of the room subsistence increase. Another factor taken into consideration is the raise in mini­ mum wage which will soon take effect. This will require that secu­ rity and office personnel associ- ated with housing gets their share. Feid said there has not been a de­ cision as to whether or not Resi­ dent Assistants and Resident Direc­ tors will receive any increase in payOther increases include a $48 increase to the standard meal plan and a $26.50 increase in transportation fees. This includes a $7.50 increase toward AppalCart and $1.50 toward the Mountain­ eer Escort service. According to Feid, the in­ crease represents a move toward the building of the proposed park­ ing deck. There is currently a $75,000 per year discrepancy be­ tween the amount charged stu­ dents to ride the AppalCart and the actual tab sent to the university. The $7.50 increase replaces the amount currently being taken out of parking fees to cover this dis­ crepancy and allow the university to save up for the parking deck. The $1.50 Mountaineer Escort charge will go toward hir­ ing drivers rather than relying on See Fees p.4 Daye honored for service to the university ministrative positions before being named associate vice chancellor for student development in 1986.

What we don't get is iy every year the Calendar Committee decides to ledule Spring Break so early in the semester. This ir the break is March 1-9 and chances are that • ground will still be covered with snow and that : beaches will be too cold to enjoy. What's the point in even calling the break >ring Break" if it occurs way before spring technily begins? There's nothing spring-like about ending the break at the beach wearing a turtleck and pants. And, it's certainly not fun to have r breaks never coincide with those at other area leges and universities. It would be much appreciated if the Commit; would consider such things when they set up ! class schedule for next year.

Anyway, to ring in the New Year and our first issue of The Appalachian, I have taken the liberty of comprising a list of a few of the things that I am thank­ ful for and look forward to enjoying in 1997: • Spring Break in seven short weeks in sunny Key West, F-L-A • A May 10,10 a.m. graduation • The zone blitz defense, Kevin Greene, and Lamar Lathon • Bay-oo-ti-ful women • The First Amendment • Crazy Boone weather (it really keeps you on your toes) • Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher • $1.50 pitchers at Tony's Pizza • I be hooked on Ebonics • The Blue Ridge Parkway being our backyard • NCAA hoops • The philosophy of "Smalls" Hall ("Hit a spruce, not a pine.") • Big business • My girlfriend (sometimes) • My tree Ben (all the time) • The Rev-ah-run Jesse Jackson • Political correctness • The village idiot in Housing who took CNN and Headline News off of the residence halls cable sys­ Ryan Price tem Editorials Editor • Beavis (heh-heh) and Butthead (heh-heh).

It's a totally different discipline that many mat wrestlers would have a hard time with. I am proud to say that I am a pro wrestling fan and have been so for as long as I can remember. Some of the earliest memories I have are of running around my room dressed up (as close as 1 could get) like my favorite wrestler of the moment. I got to go see a wrestling event as my ninth birth­ day present. It's even more exciting live than it is on TV That's one of the most treasured memories1 have as a child and, again, it involved wrestling. 1 used to rush home from elementary school to my grandparents house in order to catch the after­ noon wrestling shows on cable, in the days when everybody, including myself, didn't have it. I remember the day that Magnum T.A. had his career-ending car accident. I remember the day that Andre the Giant died. I also remember the first time I saw the original Four Horsemen and, in the years to come, the vari­ ous incarnations they went through. I remember the first time Sting wrestled Ric Flair for the World Title at the first Clash of the Champi­ ons. I also remember the day that Hulk Hogan turned bad (again). Then the N.W.O. Then Roddy Piper returned to challenge Hogan and beat him. This helped me maintain some sort of relationship with my father when the distance of college became a barrier to me. Pro wrestling isn't a pathetic pastime that only captures the attention of society's dregs. People of all walks of life get into it. Now that it's enjoying a revival of sorts, maybe it can get some bit of the rec­ ognition it deserves. Don't be ashamed if you love it. You're not alone. Wrestling is a no-brainer. How much effort does it really take to follow this stuff? Somehow, though, John Starling it's very enthralling. Features Editor It's really a peculiar escapist fantasy, in many ways. Instead of taking out violent frustrations on other people, we (the wrestling fans) opt instead to watch overgrown beasts pretend to hurt each other. It's pretty cathartic in my opinion. If there's one thing about the whole wrestling phenomenon that frustrates me, it's the lack of re­ spect that it gets in the athletic community. Professional wrestling is treated like We all have a few skeletons in our closet. I'm cheerleading. It's extremely difficult and choreo­ sure that more jhan half of our student population! graphed.

It's time to break the silence. I can't hide my hands of so-called sports critics. There's still many purists out there who refuse affection for this display of bad acting and moderate to accept it because it bears little to no resemblance feats of physical prowess. It's just plain fun to watch. There is one substantial reason behind every to the classic Greco-Roman style of wrestling.

Sgt. Paula Townsend orTJJeWatagua County Sheriffs Office. Townsend said that punishment for possession of the drug will result in a prison sentence of up to two years and/or a fine of up to $2000. In addition, Townsend explained that if more than four dosage units or a quantity of more that 100 tablets are found in the possession of a person, the charge is upgraded to a Class 1 felony and punishment is more severe. A felony is also charged if traces of cocaine are found in the drug. ag to Dr. William A. Derrick, CtorrtrfyStudent Health Services at Apgyactoai, Rohypnol has yet to be refed on Appalachian's campus. "To my Aedgej this drug is not yet present herfeJDe^ncksaid. 'Typically,(Rohypnol) coisMfto the United States through south Flyida and is moderately common (in that ea). However, it would not surprise me if (the drug) gets here sooner or later" Derrick said that the drug is illegal in the United States because there is no real medical use for it. He also said that Rohypnol cannot be bought at any drug­ store in the United States, and that it is usually obtained on the street. According to Derrick, the company that manufactures Rohypnol offers a free blood test for those who may believe they have ingested the drug without their knowledge. However, several conditions exist with this test, Derrick said. A person must sus­ pect that a crime, such as sexual assault or robbery, has been committed against him or her as a result of ingestion of the drug, and that person must be willing to press charges. Derrick said that the test offered by the company is pan of an "evidence-gath­ ering process" to prosecute anyone who uses Rohypnol. The test is not offered through ASU Health Services; rather, any student who believes he or she has in­ gested Rohypnol will be referred to the emergency room at Watauga Medical Cen­ ter for a test. Derrick agrees with the advice offered to students by the UNC-CH press release. "Students should know about (Rohypnol) before it comes here (to ASU) and pro­ tect themselves," he said. Cruise scores as agent in Jerry Maguire Jason Foster Reporter Jerry Maguire Tom Cruise, Cuba Gooding, Jr. "Show me the money!" This phrase is bound to be heard on ESPN's Sportscenter for the next year, or at least until people stop talking about Jerry Maguire, Tom Cruise's latest Hollywood outing. The film is about a charming, popu­ lar sports agent, played by Cruise, who becomes unhappy with the way his ca­ reer is going and vows to try and change the whole business for the better. Inspired by his own unhappiness, Jerry writes a stirring "mission statement" in which he provides a vision for what his agency (SMI-Sports Management In­ ternational) should focus on. The statement, which was spontane­ ously written on an off night, makes ide­ alistic conclusions that the company should focus on real caring for fewer cli­ ents. In other words, people are what really count—quality rather than quan­ tity. A week after giving the statement to everyone in his office, Jerry is fired, thus I losing his self-respect and his identity and forced to start over again from scratch. To make matters worse, he is engaged to an intensive and ambitious woman, Avery Bishop (Kelly Preston) who can also be very controlling and demanding when it comes to her relationship with Jerry. Eventually all this leads to him calling off his engagement to her. Joining Jerry on his new upstart project are two unlikely allies. already has.

He also used two of his long-time as­ sociates to create the right soundtrack. Nancy Wilson, Crowe's wife and former singer of the group Heart, composed the score as well as two original songs for the soundtrack. Music supervisor Danny Bramson, whose other collaboration with Crowe re­ sulted in the popular soundtrack for Singles, also played a big role in the choice of songs to be used in the film. With Jerry Maguire Crowe taps into a subject that has really never been ex­ plored in film, that of a sports agent. That alone makes the film interesting, and along with Crowe's screenplay, which mixes comedy, romance, and drama while providing a glimpse into this fast-paced and sometimes back-stabbing profession. It comes across as highly entertaining. Not just a cup o'joe DeBroder says, "The only places in the U.S. that grows coffee beans are in Ha­ waii because of the humid climate."

Sophomore guard Ian Adams also came off the bench, scoring six points, while hitting his first three-pointer of the year. "We knew he could hit that shot after seeing hit it in practice all those times.", Peterson re­ marked. T h 25-point loss marked only the second time in ten years that Appalachian has lost two consecutive games by 25 or more points. Before ex­ ams, the M o u n ­ taineers traveled to Athens, Ga., los­ ing to the Bulldogs of Georgia by the score of 85-67. The first half was detrimen­ tal to Appalachians e week before, the Mountain­ eers made a di­ sastrous trip to the midwest to take on Marquette and Montana state, both within two days of each other. On De­ cember 19, Ap­ palachian lost to Marquette by the humili­ ating score of 74-37. "We got whipped. They outhustled us and they outscrapped us.", Peterson quipped. Appalachian hit just 3 of 16 shots from three-point land and shot 25% for the night. Braswell, who had previously been voted Southern Conference Player of the week, was held to 10 points and four as­ sists. Two days later, Appalachian lost to Montana State in Bozeman, Mont, by a score of 96-71. The biggest contributing factor to the loss was 21 turnovers by the Mountaineers. Leading scorers for the Mountaineers were Crosston and Darner, scoring 10 and 16 points respectively. The c a u s e , " T h e r e w e r e turnovers where the b a l l would slip through o u r hands. I haven't seen any­ thing like it all year.", said Peterson at half-time. In the first half things fell apart for the Moun­ taineers. Appalachian amassed 14 turn­ overs, shot 38% from the field and were down 49-19 by the half's end. "At half-time the thing [offen­ sively] that we talked about was to be pa­ tient." Said a relieved Peterson. Appar­ ently, the players listened and took notes. The Mountaineers outscored the Bulldogs 48-36 in the second half. Matt McMahon came off the bench to score six points hit­ ting 2-2 from behind the three-point stripe. The tandem of Livingston and , Braswell led the Mountaineers in scoring with 21 and 22 points respectively. For Livingston, who originally hails from' Marietta, Ga., this was a homecoming of sorts. "I was inspired by BrasweU's play"' said Coach Peterson. On December 5, Appalachian mauled the Spartans of UNC-Greensboro I by a score of 82-56. "I am real pleased with the effort tonight." said Peterson,, after the years' first victory over a Divi­ sion I team. "Tonight, we put the hard work with the execution and it showed." Due to the referees getting stranded in the snow on the way to game, the contest was delayed an hour and 20' minutes. "I went into the locker room and I told the guys that if it gets to be about, eight o'clock, we'll probably call this game off.", said Peterson of the game. "I walked in there [the locker room] and told them we were going to practice, every head dropped." recalled Peterson. For the second straight game, se­ nior guard Junior Braswell led the Moun­ taineers in scoring with 26 points "Junior just keeps on amazing me every game." said Peterson speaking of Braswells' play. Along with the scoring, Braswell fueled the team, pumping in seven assists. In his best performance of the year, reserve forward Jeremy Blocker shot 100% percent from the floor, and equaled the task at the free throw line. "Jeremy did a great job for us. He was very active, I can't believe he didn't miss a shot.", said coach Peterson. The numbers on Blocker for the night were ten points and four re­ bounds. After battling UNCG again on Wednesday the Apps will return to con­ ference play this Saturday at1:00 p.m. at Western Carolina.

At this point, Coach Robinson wanted to have a better record, but is ex­ cited about getting back on track with the New Year. With all the students returning and classes starting again, Coach Robinson said she's looking forward to the players (who have been back since the 29th of De­ cember) getting back to normal campus life. The season goes into full swing with a game against Virginia Tech at home on the 8th, a team which Robinson said has "been sporadic." The Mountaineers will face Furman after that on the 11th at home.

The Mountaineer grapplers first stop on the post-Christmas trip was Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. for the Orange Bowl Sunshine Open. Sophomore Rob Daly and juniors Matt Kim, Tony Hairston, and Erik Smith gave solid performances on the mat to lead the Apps' to a 10th place finish in the 20 team tournament. After a brief stop-over in Boone, the Mountaineers tracked northward to Mt. Pleasant, Mich., for the Central Michigan Duals. National powerhouses like Missouri and Wisconsin proved to be too much for the Apps' as they posted a 0-4 record in the day long meet, also falling to Harvard and, tournament host, Central Michigan. The Tigers of Missouri handed the Mountaineers their first ever shut-out, blanking them 39-0. It was the first time in 822 dual matches dating back to the inaugural 1932-33 season that an Appalachian squad failed to score points in a dual match competition. Overall in the tournament, the Apps' were outscored 138-16 over four matches. However the results compiled from Central Michigan don't shed light on the fact that the team was without returning NCAA Tournament qualifiers Derek Strobel and Hairston, who were both sidelined due to injury. Appala­ chian was also without the services of Smith, a newcomer to the squad who transferred in from Penn State. The Mountaineer grapplers get back to the mat Saturday night as they host the Camels of Campbell University in Varsity Gymnasium at 7:00 p.m. Over the years, the Apps' have dominated Campbell, posting an overall record of 11-1 against the Camels which includes wins for Appalachian in the seven pre­ vious meetings leading up to Saturday's showdown. With a Mountaineer vic­ tory, head coach Paul Mance will move into a tie with R.W. "Red" Watkins for all-time wins as head coach at the school. Mance's dual match record cur­ rently stands at 239-122-8. After Saturday's match with Campbell, the Mountaineers then gear up for the Wolfpack Duals at N.C. State University in Raleigh, a week from Sat­ urday. Southern Conference action be­ gins for the Apps' on January 25th at the Mocs of Tennessee-Chattanooga travel to Boone. Since 1986, Appala­ chian and UTC have been responsible for claiming every Southern Conference title, with the Mocs winning eight crowns and the Mountaineers claming the past two. Once again, this match will showcase the top two squads in the conference. �Page 10 The Appalachian 9 January 1997 There will be a meeting for anyone interested in writing sports for The Appalachian this semester on Tuesday, Jan. 14 in the Student Publications office on the second floor of the Student Union at 5:00 p.m. If you are interested you can call Mike or Justin ahead of time at 262-6233.

Debate and Photos by Bethany Parrish the exchange of ideas are what a univer­ sity is all about," Jane Nicholson, spokes­ person for the university, said yesterday. "[The protest was] about [the university] taking responsibility for en­ suring a safer campus and recognizing the need for women's issues to be addressed through a women's center," Iannacchione said. Some members of the university community don't feel that the university has acted irresponsibly. "There are numerous campus safety programs and policies which have been in place for some time which ad­ dress many of the concerns that have been raised," said Nicholson. "The university is taking steps as requested by [the pro­ testers] to expand on these programs and improve the way information about cam­ pus crime and safety issues are commu­ nicated to students." Cliff Fitte, External Affairs Chair for the Student Government Association, see taking Action 1 Protest p. 2 Equity Office launches study on salary equality Jennifer Sharpe Staff Writer The newly formed Equity Office is preparing to launch a widespread pay eq­ uity study of the faculty at Appalachian State University. The study was initiated last year by Dr. Rebecca Kaenzig, Dr. Stella Ander­ son, Dr. Pat Gaynor and Dr. Jerry Fox and will be spearheaded during the next se­ mester.. The Equity Office specializes in helping those who have become victims of discrimination. The office provides con­ fidential counseling and numerous re­ sources designed to educate the ASU com­ munity about every type of discrimination. Melissa Barth, director of the Eq­ uity Office, said, "We have not actually begun the study yet," but "I am meeting with Dr. Sharp this Thursday to go over the details." Dr. Bobby Sharp, director of in­ stitutional research and planning said his office will participate in the study by pro­ viding the needed figures and statistics. Sharp said that his preliminary fig­ ures show that there are approximately 770 faculty at ASU. Of that number, 62 per­ cent are male and 38 percent are female. Barth and Sharp will discuss these numbers and other relevant issues to form the beginning stages of the pay equity study. Music therapy program to begin ASU News Bureau A new program in the School of Music at Appalachian State University will prepare students for careers in the grow­ ing field of music therapy. The program, to begin in the fall of 1997, will lead to a bachelor of music in music therapy degree. Between 10 to 15 students will be accepted the first year. "We have been working toward this degree program since 1992 and are very excited about its approval," Dean Art Unsworth said. "Many students find this combination of meaningful employment and the opportunity to serve to be very attractive."

He urged protesters to realize that the university administration and SGA have both taken action in re­ sponse to growing fears about safety on campus. "[SGA] recently gave control of Mountaineer Escort to the University Po­ lice to improve that program and audible alarms will soon be installed on the blue lights all over campus," Fitte said. He later added that two forums about safety were held this semester and that SGA had ad­ dressed safety issues during a recent meet­ ing. Protesters at the rally gave out a list of "demands and grievances" to the crowd which they also presented to Roben Snead, executive assistant to the Chan­ cellor. Snead was present in the place of Borkowski whom he said was, "at a meet­ ing." The list of grievances includes the fact that Borkowski was hired by the uni- versity though he was involved ,• he later admitted to be the "misha.of a rape case at the University of; Florida where he was president: coming to Appalachian.

Professor recognizee Professors, students win science prize ASU News Bureau Elihu Thomson first conducted ' his Jumping Ring experiment more than 100 years ago. Thomson's Jumping Ring continues to be a common physics experi; ment today, but four researchers from Ap­ palachian State University used the experi­ ment to win the Department of Energy's Undergraduate Computational Science ' Award. The $1,000 award is part of a pro­ gram to encourage broad use of compu­ tational science in undergraduate educa­ tion. Computational science emphasizes the use of the computer as an essential tool to solve problems in many disciplines. Karl Mamola, chairman of the physics and astronomy department; Terry Anderson, assistant professor of math; Jonathan Lindsay, a senior majoring in physics; and Benjamin Newton, a senior double majoring in math and physics con­ ducted the experiment. Thomson's Jumping Ring in­ volves placing a conducting metal ring over an iron-cored solenoid connected to an electrical outlet. As the electrical cur­ rents flow through the solenoid, the ring jumps several feet into the air. When the ring is cooled with liquid nitrogen, the ring jumps higher. Mamola said their experiment provided the first "thorough quantitative" understanding of the experiment. "We felt to produce the first detailed, accurate quantitative model of the experiment would be exciting and also provide a valu­ able resource to the physics teaching com­ munity," he said. Much of the project's success is due to the mathematical computations done by Anderson. He was responsible for solving the physics equations. Anderson said he is not much of a physics expert, but he saw the project as a personal chal­ lenge and found solving the difficult ques­ tions gratifying. Involving undergraduate students to develop the equations also made the project unique. This is not the first time Lindsay and Newton have conducted a major experiment. Both Chancellor's Scholars have participated in the Research Experience for Undergraduates, a highly selective research program for physics stu­ dents. Lindsay said the experience will be a huge help when he attends graduate school. "I wanted to do a major research project like this one before I went to grad school," Lindsay said. "I want to be a me­ chanical engineer and what I've learned doing this experiment will truly help me." According to Mamola, it is "highly uncommon" for physics students to per­ form a major experiment at the under­ graduate level. Newton said he also real­ izes the value of this experience and the benefits of hard work. "I don't think that we can find anyone who has a model like this and has gone this far," Newton said. Ellen Thomas has been named physical education teacher of the year by the t Carolina Alliance of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. Thes which recognizes outstanding teaching at the college or university level, wa sented to Thomas at the Alliance's annual convention held in Greensboro. Thomas is an assistant professor in Appalachian State University's Health, I and Exercise Science department.

They surpassed that by getting 180 people and 162 pints of blood. However, not ev­ eryone was able to give blood be­ cause of certain factors, such as being underweight. Sonny Sweet, the Execu­ tive Director of the Watauga County Red Cross, said, "ASU set a modern-day record for the drive." Music PRSSA members helped out with the event by signing people in, getting people food af­ ter they gave blood and helping out in general. Food was donated by lo­ cal businesses such as McDonald's, Harris Teeter and Lowe's. There will be more blood drives next semester sponsered by PRSSA. They are planned for Feb. 19 and April 16. They will be held in the Student Union again, be­ cause it is more convienent for the students. Carol Clayton headed up the blood drive and was pleased with the outcome. Sweet said about Clayton, "You and all the members of PRSSA deserve an award for making the event such a success." continued from page 1 The only other music therapy programs currently of­ fered in North Carolina are at East Carolina University and Queens College. Appalachian's music therapy curriculum will combine studies in music theory, music his­ tory, applied performance, and music education with a core of courses specific to the field. Supplementary courses in psychol­ ogy, special education, sociology, and health and fitness are re­ quired, as well as an intense in­ ternship. The program has received provisional curriculum certifica­ tion from the national Association for Music Therapy and should re­ ceive full certification by the time the first students graduate in 2001. Music therapy, an allied health service similar to occupa­ tional therapy and physical therapy, uses music to address physical, psychological, cognitive motor and social functioning. It has been used successfully with all ages and disabilities. The 1991 amendment to the Older Americans Act estab­ lished music therapy as both a sup­ portive and preventive service for older Americans, provided a statu­ tory definition of music therapy, and specified qualifications for music therapists. In 1995, federal regulators identified music therapy as a Medi­ care-reimbursable service for pa­ tients in partial hospitalization programs. Federal law states that music therapy must be provided according to individual need in the education of children with special needs from birth to age 21. The publication "100 Best Careers for the Year 2000" includes music therapy and says there are more job opportunities for music therapists than qualified appli­ cants. The publication predicts that they will be in great demand in nursing homes, rehabilitation cen­ ters, and extended care facilities because of the increasing aging population.

Accuracy and Public Service since 1934 Our Opinion... Read up on the man or shut up already Student fees are like an investment in your future This may come as a shock to some readers, but when Chancellor Frances T. Borkowski was recom­ mended to the UNC Board of Governors to become the new chancellor at ASU in 1993, he was unani­ mously approved. Such support of Borkowski isn't prevalent these days in some circles. Knocking Borkowski seems to have become everyone's favorite pastime since he took office on August 1, 1993. Vicious rumors, untruths and misconcepetions abound on this campus about the man and his integrity. I'm not a close, personal friend of Borkowski's. I have, however had a few conversations with the man and he came to one of our Editorial Board Meet­ ings to discuss recent events at Appalachian with us earlier this semester. He made it very clear to my staff that we could ask him any question at this meet­ ing. I didn't get the feeling that he was hiding any­ thing. His answers were honest. Most of what has formed my opinion of Borkowski comes from what I have read about him and what professors and other university employees have told me about their experiences with him. I honesdy believe that Borkowski is a decent man who has the best interest of students at heart. Some of you are probably thinking, "What is she talking about? Doesn't she know about what he did in Florida?" As a matter of fact, besides the UNC Board of Governors, I am probably one of few people who have bothered to research his personal and profes­ sional past. I have a huge file containing more than 75 articles about him. Many of them talk about what happened at his former university and why he left it. Here's what happened in a nutshell. During Borkowski's presidency of The University of South Money is always a problem at public universipes all over the country. Either the institution joesn't have enough to create new programs and jjie like or it doesn't have enough to pay for "im­ provements" already made. Here at Appalachian, student fees routinely go up from semester to semester to fund many aspects J getting an education here. Although it's still true tjiat many fees will probably go up for next semesp Appalachian still offers one of the highest qualp educations in the state for your buck. Here's the low down on fee increases and why ^e think they are needed. We urge the Board of frustees to vote for the increase in fees so that necjssary improvements can be made here at ASU. First, technology fees will rise about $3. This jril] pay for computer supplies and other lab costs. /g many of you know, getting better computers and pore equiptment will lessen the time students wait gi line to get into the labs. It's not exactly a treat to Ijave to wait an hour or more to work on a paper when you've paid your way into the lab via your fees Student health services have a proposed in­ crease of $4. According to Dr. Gregory Blimling, jjce chancellor for student affairs, there is currently adefecit of about $41,000 in this area. If all 12,000 or so students pay an extra $4, that means the uni­ versity will raise $48,000. Blimling said that the money would help maintain the free prescription policy at the infirmary which helps students stay healthy. The Educational and Recreational Fee will probibly go up about $10 per student. This line item covers things like APPS, SGA, the Center for Stu­ dent Involvement and Leadership, and Outdoor Programs. If you have ever been to an APPS show or if you appreciate the services Outdoor Programs provides, this extra $10 shouldn't be a problem. The big fee increase is likely to be the Substinence Fee which pays for on-campus rooms rfith telephone and cable service as well as a stan­ dard meal option. Blimling cited the forecasted rise it) heating oil costs as a contributing factor toward the proposed increase. Various fee increase proposals include a $3 book rental fee and a $9 transportation fee raise. Since die rental program saves many student money and the majority of student use the AppalCART system sometime during their studies here, these increases don't sound unfounded. The bottom line here is that the university is continuing to build new facilities while the num­ ber of students isn't rising in proportion to the imount of money that needs to go into the budget. Student fees which cover services or goods that itudents genuinely get some use out of or some lenefit from are appropriate. l We urge the Appalachian Board of Trustees to tote for the proposed student fee increases on Frilay during their second meeting of the year. If you're like me (maybe it's time you saw a doc­ tor about that) you hear people complain all the time about how there's nothing to do here in Boone. They come from the big cities like Charlotte, Raleigh, and Greensboro, and go on constantly about how bored they are in this little hick town. I've noticed a lot of these people are the ones who like to go to night clubs, or just "clubs" so that they don't sound so horridly old fashioned. I've never gone to one of these so I don't really know what goes on. But I can guess. I imagine it's a large, hot, crowded room full of androgynous looking people I wouldn't want to know. And if the music isn't (c)rap like I hear everyday in my residence hall, it's probably that subsidary of (c)rap music that consists of electronic noises accom­ panied by an androgynous voice that constantly en­ courages the listener to "get up on your feet" and "move to the groove" as well as other such nonsense. Meanwhile, all those aforementioned androgynous looking people I wouldn't want to know, happily move themselves about in time with the music saying peachy things like, "chilling," and "all-good," to each other (but I'm not going to get into that again). I imagine that I could spend an entire night at one of these places without once hearing the disc jockey (probably an anemic looking fella with a back­ wards marijuana leaf baseball cap who calls himself DJ Juicy Juice and has never heard of Neil Diamond) play "Freebird" or "Come Monday" or "Let's Go Get Stoned." You call that a good time? What I really want to know is, if Boone is such a lousy, boring place to be, why do you androgynous looking people (as well as all of the rest of you ur- fhe next issue of The Appalachian will be pubished on January 5.

Down Home with Bob Hutton Affirmative action divides America Viewpoint by Ric Beard Columnist A touchy subject in America today is Affirmative Action. It's one of those issues that people are either for or against. In the November elections, Californian proposi­ tion 209 was enacted. Also known as the California Civil Rights Initiative, this new amendment to the California Constitution says, 'The state should not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public con­ tracting. This amendment's passing speaks of the lack of need for an Affirmative Action program in America. All Affirmative Action has done in its just more than 30 years of life is remind Americans of the ra­ cial tensions that divide them. Congress passed the measure because of the prominence of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in his calls for equality in the 60's. His call was a valid one. Affirmative Action, how­ ever, is not a valid solution to the problem it has been trying to address for three decades. When President Richard Nixon expanded Affirmative Action to in­ clude goals, timetables, and guidelines by which to achieve them, he merely opened the door for the use of words such as "quota" for anti-Affirmative Action groups to use. Affirmative Action proponents say that goals are not the same things as quotas and that Affirmative Action's main goal is to "level the playing field" by which applicants are hired, by letting women and minorities know that there are job openings at cer­ tain corporations, schools, or companies. They say that this will lessen the chances of people getting jobs based on who they know. An employed will still be more likely to hire a person with an inside line, because making the hiring pool more diverse doesn't make the hired pool so. Affirmative Action proponents also say that mi­ norities and women are not granted equal educa­ tional opportunities. This is true. But is it workable to set standards that will al­ low more minorities to attend college in the replace­ ment of the majority, by giving special treatment ac­ cording to race? The Supreme Court doesn't seem to think so. It upheld a decision by a three-judge panel of the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals stating that the University of Texas Law School's former Affirmative Action admissions policy to increase the number of minority enrollments was unconstitutional. The goals of the policy were, an African-Ameri­ can enrollment of at least five percent and a Mexi­ can enrollment of at least 10 percent. The court said that the reason that the policy was unconstitutional was because of its race-based program. Separate boards to decide upon minority enrollment and lower trust standards were utilized to fill the open spots. The appeals court said that the decision of the Su­ preme Court to allow race-only biases in enrollment procedures was no longer good law. The Supreme Court agreed. The new decision said that a school could consider whether a student's parents attended the college, and socio-economic background along with race, but that race alone was not to be a deter­ mining factor in enrollment. This last clause makes Affirmative Action an im­ possibility. If a college makes a decision based on a student's parents' alumni status, what's to stop a com­ pany from hiring a white male whose father put in thirty years at the company? Hiring personnel now have a Supreme Court decision to help in such argu­ ments. The solution is simple. Get rid of Affirmative Action. The recent Texaco fiasco is an example of a better solution. If the Rev. Jesse Jackson can bring about a nationwide boycott that causes a company to reconsider its policies, then why can't it become common practice among Americans? There's noth­ ing wrong with watchdog groups that keep compa­ nies in line. If they see something wrong in the num­ ber of minorities that a company has hired, they should speak out. Other companies will learn from their mistakes. Just keep the U.S. Government out of it. Like comedian Dennis Miller said, "They can't even pave roads." �Page 6 The Appalachian 5 December V 1 Letters to the Editor Attendance policy beef pable of avoiding or escaping a crisis than those who Laurie D.

The sound of Deacon Brody comes to Boone Matt Russ Features Editor If you can imagine a group of musi­ cs pulling together and writing songs on influences ranging from rock, ptal. pop, swing, groovy hip hop and p then you can imagine what deacon pdy must sound like. If you can't, then ni need to come find out. This eclectic group of electric/acoust aggressive folk rock musicians, as bass Jjtarist Brad Gray and singer/guitarist too Roman call them, will be jamming ithe Klondike next Thrusday, Dec. 12. i The band came together due to a little ft and a little luck. Their geographic ises range from Ashville to Boston and eir musical tastes are just as diverse, i "It's broad and vague," says Gray of gii sound. 'There are different varietj in what we do; some hard, some swing Stomp Off and some groove." "We all have very different influences, but we have a respect for each other's music," says Gray. Right now the band is primarily on the road, just like all the other bands out there trying to make it. They played 11 shows in November alone and they're still kicking. The decision to pursue the musical dream was unanimous among all the band members. They have decided that play­ ing music together is what's most impor­ tant at the present time and that's what they're doing. "We enjoy playing music together and that's what we're doing right now," says Gray. According to Roman, that is the only way to do it. And with such a large num­ ber of bands trying to make it, deacon brody is doing what any band must do. "There are so many bands out there," says Roman, "that you have to play as much as possible and be creative as you can to get your name out." Deacon Brady's name should begin to speak for itself. Their music is creative, their live shows diverse. Getting their name out should start getting easier. "We were all thinking about getting arrested and screaming deacon brody as the cops took us away," says Roman jok­ ingly. That shouldn't be necessary. Their sound and lively personalities on stage should be able to take care of it without the use of blue lights. Be sure to check them out at the Klondike next Thrusday night when they come to town. The Klondike has hosted them about three or four times in the past and they will also be back sometime in February. Don't miss the opportunity to see these guys in such an intimate setting. You never know.... maybe one day when you're waiting in line for reunion tickets you'll be able to say, "Yea back in the day I saw deacon brody in a club no bigger than my living room."

Terri Crook, the styling and profiling mistress of ceremonies showed up herself. Her own Delta Sigma Theta sorority did not represent through competition that night, but nevertheless, was represented. "Stepping is a form of art," Crook said to the audience. "It requires precision, timing and lots and lots and lots of en­ ergy." The Greeks present definitely had the energy that night. Each 15 minute per­ formance displayed the years of influence black Greeks have used to perfect the form of stepping. It took balance and tolerance to do what those five organizations did that night. The Evel Knevels of the world need to slow down before trying this at home. Limbs move around so fast the only thing they might have to show for it is a selfinflicted black eye. This is especially true during the use of canes, sticks, and blindfolds by the dif­ ferent organizations, which never fail to add more tricks to their treats. This is what the five judges looked at when looking for the winners. It may be lonely at the top, but in the end there can only be one good enough to stomp off the rest of the competition. The second place winners among the sororities were the Zeta Phi Beta's from NC State. The Phi Beta Sigmas from West­ ern Carolina took it for the fraternities. The prize? A pretty nice sum of $200 toward their organization. And first place goes to...drum roll please...UNC-Charlotte's Zeta Phi Beta sorority "in-corporated" and the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity from Winston-Salem State. They'll be stepping all the way to the bank with a $1000 jackpot toward their organization, ending the challenge of stepping up or stepping off. The great conspiracy theory Part 3...Sports Mike Daniels Sports Editor Harken back with me if you will for a ite. The year is 1994. The place is >te College, Pennsylvania. | that memorable college football In #son two football teams, Penn State and tbraska both finished their regular sea­ ts undefeated having rolled over the tipetition in convincing fashion. Both •ms then went on to bowl games and in there, keeping them undefeated, •wever, when the final rankings were ade and the national championship fcors were awarded only one team, 4>raska, was rewarded. , Why? I'll tell you why: it was a conitacy. ; That season was Penn State's first as tember of Big Ten Conference, one of ' best leagues in college football. BeF that Penn State had been an indehdent like Notre Dame and Army. Maybe it was the fact that writers ildn't accept eleven teams in a conince that supposedly only had ten (alligh its hard to count Indiana for footI). Penn State won the conference »t year, beating Michigan, Ohio State P everyone else they faced in the teue that season. By doing so the team earned an auhatic bid to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena *ffe they were set to meet Pac-10 Con^nce champ Oregon. As expected, State slaughtered the Ducks who ranked near the bottom of the top 9t the time, scoring over 50 points with Sr offensive juggernaut en route to first Rose Bowl victory ever. Penn State's team that year was spein that it featured, hands down, the ^test offensive machine ever in college tball. The team smashed so many dif*nt school, conference, and NCAA t>rds that I don't even have room to htion them all in this article. One that I will mention however is the record that the team set in the NFL draft that spring. Three players from that offense, Kerry Collins, Ki-Jana Carter, and Kyle Brady were all drafted within the top ten picks. If that's not a statement about how prolific that unit was I don't know what is. No other college team has ever had three players drafted in the top ten even on both offense and defense combined. Four players in all were drafted in the first round from that offense, also setting a record. Yet for some mysterious reason Penn State remained locked at second in both of the major polls after their mid-season win over Indiana. After their Rose Bowl romp over the Ducks, Penn State players, students and fans watched that night as the top-ranked Comhuskers barely held off third ranked Miami in the Orange Bowl, giving them the national championship. Now everybody knows that Nebraska deserved a piece of that title. They were an incredible football team that also domi- nated throughout the season and put an unblemished record. So the big question that still haunts many college football fans even today is why was there not a co-championship awarded? It had been done before in 1990 when Colorado and Georgia Tech shared the honor. Why not Penn State and Ne­ braska? The sad part was that most of the key players on that Nittany Lion squad were seniors so they would not get a chance next season to prove they were wronged. Personally I felt even sadder for Coach Joe Paterno; one of the best college coaches ever not just because he continually puts out great teams in State College, but also because he is a good person whose program and play­ ers are not involved in the kind of scan­ dals and crimes that have been happen­ ing more and more frequently at schools like Nebraska. For Paterno, this marked the third time in his career that he had coached an undefeated Nittany Lion squad that ended up ranked second in the polls. This slight just further made clear the fact that college football needs a real playoff system to determine on the field in a fair way who should be the champ. Paterno, who has always been strong proponent of this, could only argue his point again in vain while Nebraska and its fans celebrated their championship. Both Paterno and Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne said that there should have been a game between the two to decide. Osborne also said that even he felt Penn State deserved a piece of the trophy if the two could not play. As it is, there are still debates today about who should where in the polls and who got ripped off when the national championship is awarded. As for the people who sit back in their smoke-filled rooms playing cards and coming up with the winners and losers in the world of college football, their ongo­ ing conspiracy continues. Farewell December graduates! Sandra Isley Reporter They came, they studied, they con­ quered. Now, armed with degrees, the 1996 Fall graduates are settling down with the rest of the world. So make room. Although their stay at Appalachian was brief, it was enough time to make memories; memories they will take with them, as well as leave behind for others to enjoy. The most memorable thing about ASU is the weather, of course. As senior Jon Philipsen said, 'Tell our 'Chancellor,' if you want to call him that, that when it's in the negative numbers outside to cancel class." Although Philipsen no longer has to worry about this, it is still a vital request for those who do. Senior Darian Ackerman also brought up an important problem that the Chan­ cellor needs to face; parking tickets. Let's hope by the time the reunion rolls around that the parking crisis will be solved. Ackerman also said how she wanted to be remembered. "I'd like to be remem­ bered as a good friend and a good stu­ dent." Soon to be a school teacher, Carrie Duncan had these parting words to say, "Study hard, learn a lot from your profes­ sor, for you will soon enter the real world." What do these parting seniors plan on doing when they enter the real world? The number one priority is to get a job, and as Philipsen said, "Make mucho dinero." Ackerman, who has a 4.0 GPA, would like to thank God and her parents for this achievement. Duncan offers these words as wisdom to all those who are staying behind. "Have fun now for you never know what the fu­ ture may bring." Senior Shea Spell, a member of Pi Sigma Epsilon, said, "Everyone I have ever met has affected and touched my life somehow and has made me the person I am today. I just wanted to say thanks!" Her parting words of wisdom were "PEACE, LOVE, and MICKEY MOUSE!" Spell's final comment was, "Thanks for the best of times with the best of friends." Ackerman's final comment was one we can all relate to. "I'm glad it's over!" In the words of this senior, "How true! I'm looking forward to the future that ASU has prepared me for. See you all when you finally come down from the moun­ tain top." 800 Octane gas up for Portland Jeremy Ball Staff Writer The music scene in Boone is about to lose some of its fuel. 800 Octane is making a move out west to Portland, Oregon after this semester. But before they go, students will get one last opportunity to hear the band's high energy music. And it comes at an opportune time. The Klondike will be hosting the band's final show in Boone on Tues. Dec. 10 night at 10:30 or 11:00. It might be just enough octane to get students through exam week! Paul H. Corbett, a senior from Smithfield, said that the move out west was originally their guitarist, Eric Olson's, idea. He said that the band soon decided that the move was a good idea because of the better music scene in the larger city. And he said it doesn't hurt that "we all snowboard". 800 Octane has been one of the big­ ger band's in Boone over the past three years. "Elvis brought us together" Corbett said. All four of the band's members lived in East and got to know each other on a trip that Watauga College took to Graceland. The four members of the band are: Octane see page 8 �Page 8 The Appalachian 5 December > R.E.M. - New Adventures in HiFi (Warner) R.E.M. finally returns back to the sound they started in Athens. This album does not try to hip or alternative. It'sjust the band we all remember and love. Stipe's lyrics are powerful as is his voice. This album made me love R.E.M. after the aptly titled Monster al­ bum. Renee Cagle, Managing Editor Rage Against the Machine - Evil Empire (Epic) Rage's sophomore effort so­ lidified their reputation as a junch of pissed off young guys who are very politically and his­ torically astute. When I put it on the turntable it made me want to get up and shake my groovin' ass to the funky beat. Ryan Price, Editorials Editor Van Halen - Best of..., Volume One (Warner) This is a great collection of Van Halen's finest work from 30th the Dave and Sammy eras. The two new tracks recorded with David Lee Roth provide both a sense of closure and a taste of BLURB Our picks for '96 * what could have been. -Jay Konstantaras, Assistant News Editor Bootsy Collins - Live From Japan (Bootleg) This album gives you nothing but funk. "Flashlight" includes a bass solo that showcases Bootsy at his best. Collins and his band per­ form a number of P-Funk stan­ dards which sound as good with­ out George Clinton as they do with him. After listening to this record, you'll want to funk all night long. -Chris Kinner, News Editor Nirvana - From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah (DGC) If any album has ever re­ minded me why I love a band, this one did. This live album, which is hands-down the best live album I've ever heard, presents some of the best songs this band ever did in a raw form. The songs from Nevermind benefit most from the glossless treatment. This was Nir­ vana as they were meant to be heard: "Moderate Rock"... -John Starling, Features Editor The Jerk}' Boys - The Jerky Boys 3 This album is arguably their best record so far. The pranksters from the Bronx got creative on this one by expanding their rep­ artee of voices and actually get­ ting people to call them by plac­ ing classifieds in New York news­ papers advertising used lawn equipment. The album is defi­ nitely an inspiration to prankcallers everywhere. -Mike Daniels, Sports Editor Marilyn Manson - Antichrist Su­ perstar (Nothing/Interscope) I have found this album to be intensely invigorating. The mu­ sic and lyrics combine to create a raging sea of horrendous waves crashing across my mind's eye offering incredible visions. So all of you "Beautiful People" out there, I encourage you entice your listening pleasure with the tasty delicacies of Manson's lat­ est. -Bethany Parrish, Photography Editor Top Ten Albums of 1996 1.

Octane continued from page 7 Dave Chaney on bass and vocals, Bryan Walls on drums and vocals, Eric Ackerson on guitar and Paul Corbett on guitar and vocals. In Ackerson's absence Greg Kennedy has been filling in on the guitar. He will perform with the band on Hiesday. Some students may remember when the band used to be Hoss. But last year, they had to change their name due to copyright laws. Along with their name, Corbett said the band's style of mu­ sic has evolved a over time. When they started out, he said they were "a cross between the Misfits and R.E.M." He described their current music as "college punk rock". But, he said "it's almost all our own stuff". They only do one cover about every three shows. The band's first CD, Swank, came out last year and is sold at The Grapevine and at Fat Cat's. Corbett said that hopefully they will be able to produce another CD after they have a little time to get settled in Portland. "That's the main reason why we're moving", Corbett said. "We want to concentrate on our music". He said that it's extremely difficult to play in a band and try to do well in school at the same time. "You have to work around four people's different schedules". Since all four members are seniors this year, the opportunity to try focusing on music couldn't be passed up. Corbett said that he has high hopes for the band's future. "I'd like to make a career out of mu­ sic", he said. One of their main goals is to get out on the road while in Port­ land. When asked if the band has any intention of allowing the east coast fans to hear them again through a tour, Corbett said, "we've got to get settled in Port­ land first!" With the success the band has had so far, though, it's doubtful that it's music will disappear from Boone. If nothing else, their mu­ sic will continue to play on student's CD players.

After having put the lights on East Carolina and Wake Forest in last two games the Ladies were lookto push their season to a 3-1 start. The team from Georgia Tech was ot coming into App looking to loose howWith an awesome forward duo and jtmng push from the senior guard, Kisha ^ the Yellow Jackets were looking to l yt an early sting on the Mountaineers sason. Appalachian would secure the tipget the action started but quickly the ball over off a missed shot, jotgia Tech took the early 4-0 lead courof a Kenya Williams basket and a few free throw shots, but App was not ly to play the sleeping dragon to any ACC or not. Almost two minutes into the ie Appalachian center, Andreia Hinton g to ball in the hole for senior Leigh quickly added a three pointer give App the lead. The first half would prove to be a -saw batde back and forth between the ntaineers and the Yellow Jackets. The ire was tied seven times in the first half with only a few minutes left in the the ies, who period App had taken the lead over the jackets by six. The Apps would go into the break up by three. The story of the first half, and what would prove to be the game, was Georgia Tech's ability to get to the char­ ity stripe and capitalize. In the first half Georgia Tech hit 11 of their 15 free throw attempts in contrast to Appalachian's four. When the Jackets were unable to capitalize any other way, the free throws kept them in the game. Three minutes into the second half Georgia Tech had overcome their halftime deficit and gone up by four. Near the 13 minute mark Tech took a timeout and caught Appalachian sleeping on the in-bounds play. Before the Apps were even out of their huddle Georgia was set up and inbounding the ball resulting in an easy two-point lay up. The first half of the game Appa­ lachian had been able to attack from down low and also up top. The Moun­ taineers were taking shots from the three point line, five shots alone in the first half. App also utilized the play of it's big woman Tiana Tate, putting the ball down low and allowing them to post up.

With 30 seconds left in the game, defensive lineman Jackie Avery sacked A1 Lester, the VMI quarterback, for the Mountaineers' only safety of the year. This gave Appalachian their 26-14 victory over VMI. The game was an emo­ tional one for the Mountaineers, since they are losing 22 seniors. Kadlub said the last offensive huddle was rough. "I knew it and everybody else knew." Moore said that he's going to "miss all 22 of them... I'm proud of those kids." This game finished off what many have considered a disappointing season for the Mountaineers. The team fin­ ished the season 7-4 overall (53 in the Southern Conference), but were shut out of the I-AA playoffs due to their mid-season collapse in which they lost two games in a row to ETSU and Furman.

Appalachian kicked off its season by hosting the Third Annual Mountaineer Open on Nov. 23. Head Coach Paul Mance saw his squad post live second place finishes and win one individual title. MacArthur, W.Va. native Jer­ emy Hart took home first place hon­ ors in the 134 lb. weight class. Hart compiled a 5-0 record and pinned one opponent on his way to the title. Returning NCAA qualifiers Tony Hairston (118 lbs.), Derek Strobel (177 lbs.), and Eddy Clark (190 lbs.), put on good showings by finishing second in their respective weight classes. While most of us were still recovering from a filling Thanksgiv­ ing feast, the Mountaineers traveled to Chapel Hill Saturday afternoon to compete in the North Carolina Open. Strobel continued his performance by winning the 167 lb. weight class, a drop down for him from the previ­ ous tournament. He breezed through the bracket, running his season record to a combined 7-1 mark be­ tween the two weight classes. Au­ gust Dennis (126 lbs.) and Jason Brown (150 lbs.) turned in fourth place finishes in their respective di­ visions. The Mountaineers hit the road, yet again, this weekend as they travel to Rochester, N.Y. to compete in the RTT Invitational Tournament on Saturday. This marks the fourth appearance for Appalachian in the RIT. During the 1994-95 campaign, the Mountaineer grapplers placed third out of the nine teams in the event. The first home dual meet for the Apps' comes after the holidays as the Fighting Camels of Campbell Uni­ versity travel up the mountain on Jan. 11. Upcoming competitions for the Mountaineers include trips to the Sunshine Open in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and the Central Michigan Duals in Mount Pleasant, Mich. �The Appalachian 5 December ';.!

Appalachian came back and made a run t the Jackets and tied the game off a last kond Melissa Davis three point field goal. In overtime, however, the Moun­ taineers ran up against a wall. The Apps were only able to score five points while the Yellow Jackets put up 13. The free throw shooting ability of the Tech team once again came into play as the Apps tried to claw their way back into the game. The deficit was just to big for the Moun­ taineers to overcome as the Jackets took the O.T. victory 88-80. The forwards for the Jackets, Carla Munnion and Kenya Williams, com­ bined to account for 48 of the 88 points scored by Georgia Tech. Also coming up big for the Jackets was their senior guard, Kisha Ford, who had 16 points and 11 re­ bounds on the night. Appalachian had a good overall game with five players scoring in double digits, including the team scoring leader, Tate, who had 18 points. On the defen­ sive side of the coin for Appalachian was Melissa Davis with six defensive rebounds and Meredith Davis with nine rebounds and two steals. "I felt real good about (going into the overtime), but I knew if one team made a run, you could tell if someone went three or four up there wouldn't be time for the other team to counter; and that's what happened." said Appalachian's head coach Linda Robinson about the overtime. Angus Berenato, head coach for the Lady Jackets, said "(Appalachian) just fought, fought, fought." (Appalachian) will go to the NCAA tournament, they'll win their conference again." So the stage is set, the goal clear; the possibilities wide open. The Lady Mountaineers are certainly a talented team with the skill and desire to make the trip to the "big dance." Only time will tell, but if the early season is any indication then there could be another extended season for the Lady Mountaineers. NEED CASH?

According to Blimling, it has been proposed that various student fees be raised for the 1997-1998 school year. "We've tried to keep fees to ap­ proximately a 5 percent increase," Blimling said. According to Blimling, educa­ tional and technology fees have a pro­ jected increase of $3. This fee, Blimling said, covers costs of computer technol­ ogy and various science and lab costs. Athletic fees may raise $10. Blimling said that this increase is due to personnel costs and to various "inflation­ ary items." Students may have to pay an additional $4 health services fee next year. Blimling said that there is currently a $41,000 deficit in this area and that a fee increase may be needed to amend this deficit. The Educational and Recreational Programs fee has a proposed increase of $10. Blimling said this increase will also support a budget deficit in this area. This fee is used to support SGA, various cam­ pus organizations, the Center for Student involvement and Leadership, the Quinn Center, Outdoor Programs and A.EES., Blimling said. In addition, Blimling also said that students may have to pay an addi­ tional $4.50 Student Union fee. The Stu­ dent Union, Blimling said, is currently experiencing a $74,000 per year deficit situation. Subsistence charges (fees that provide a room with telephone and cable service and standard meal option) have a proposed increase of $168.00 for next year. Among reasons for this increase, Blimling said that heating oil prices are expected to increase, and this increase alone is enough to cost each ASU student approximately $30. Blimling also said that some of this extra money will go to Food Services. According to Blimling, the department has tentative plans to renovate Welborn Hall and plans to fund the renovations by gradually collecting and saving money each year to avoid having to borrow money for construction. Undergraduate book rental may increase by $3, Blimling said. In addition, the student transportation fee may be raised to $9 per year. Blimling said that this increase will help the university main­ tain current AppalCart routes, as well as to hopefully expand some routes. According to Blimling, this money will also replace some of the funds that currently are taken from the parking and traffic fund to pay for such services. Blimling answered questions from various SGA Senators concerning the proposed fees. When asked if student medical costs would continue to rise, Blimling said that increases can be ex­ pected. "(Appalachian) provides the most comprehensive medical program in the state," he said. "We spend (approximately) $160,000 per year on pharmaceuticals.

However, Blimling explained that concern has been raised that some students would simply go without medicine (due to lack of money) if they had to pay for it. In addition, the university would have to handle various insurance claims or find ways to bill student accounts for drugs. Blimling also explained that many of the fee increases, especially the Student Union fee and the Educational and Recre­ ational Programs fee, can be attributed to the rising costs of personnel. With the in­ crease in minimum wage, personnel work­ ing in these various departments will need to be paid more. In addition, some facili­ ties, such as the Student Union, have needed to hire more personnel to compen­ sate for growth and increased use. When asked if any alternatives to raising fees had been explored as possible means of revenue, Blimling said that the university already attempts to spend money "as efficiently as possible.

(photo by Carl Stearns) Faculty form task force Beth Bliss Staff Writer A recently-formed task force composed of members of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) seeks to make ASU faculty mem­ bers aware of their rights as employees. According to Howard Giskin, as­ sociate professor of English and chairman of the task force, this group was formed at the start of the semester at the request of the chairperson of the AAUP Commit­ tee on Academic Freedom 8t Tenure. The goal of the task force, Giskin said, is to give faculty members the assurance that they have "somewhere to go" if they feel they have been treated unfairly by a de­ partment chairperson or administrator. "One very narrow focus (of the task force) has to do with any conditions that exist on campus in which faculty (members) feel they are treated unfairly or activities that go beyond required terms (of contract)," Giskin said. "We're looking at faculty relationships with de­ partment chairs and sdministrators." Giskin said that the task force aims to have all faculty members at ASU, including professors and administrators, get along with one another. In addition, the task force wants to insure that "ev­ eryone is treated justly, fairly, and profes­ sionally," Giskin said. "In all likelihood, this is already the case in most circum­ stances." According to Giskin, not only will the task force investigate and identify situ­ ations in which faculty members are treated unjustly, they will also serve as advisors to those who need to know what recourse they may have in the event that they have been harassed or treated un­ fairly by a supervisor. "This is not a strike force," Giskin said. "We want to uphold standards (set) by society as a whole concerning treat­ ment of employees by employers." If a faculty member has a com­ plaint of unfair treatment or harassment, Giskin said that he or she could either ig­ nore it or attempt to resolve it on his or her own through the faculty grievance policies set by the university. The task force, Giskin said, "maps out the middle ground between not say­ ing anything and going all the way with the grievance process, which can be timeconsuming and stressful." A faculty mem­ ber may not be sure where to go or who to talk to if a problem arises, Giskin said, and here is where the task force hopes to provide assistance. The task force is in its early stages, and Giskin said that currently the members wish to serve as facilitators and provide information to each individual concerning his or her situation. Giskin also said that the task force welcomes suggestions and input from con­ cerned or interested faculty members. "We're in the information stage," he said. The task force is only one part of a larger range of activities sponsored by the AAUp Giskin said. 'The AAUP chap­ ter at ASU is engaged in a lot of activities which will, over time, make (Appala­ chian) a better working environment for faculty and administration," he said. "We want to make ASU a friendly and healthy place for everyone to work. " "The happier people are, the more productive they will be, making them better colleagues and better teach­ ers," Giskin said. Members of the ASU community who believe they are now, or have recently been, victims of discrimination have a place to turn for help. The Equity Office was established in August as "a neutral starting place for anyone on campus to seek resolution for any perceived conflicts," according to the office's Program Assistant Alexa N. Maddox. She said that the office's direc­ tor, Dr. Melissa E. Barth, has dealt with a wide range of issues emanating from vari­ ous levels in the university since the op­ eration began. Maddox said the office hopes to provide assistance to students, faculty, staff, administrators and any other individuals associated with the university. She also said that the office was not created due to any increase in discrimination on campus, but was instead the result of Chancellor Borkowski's 1995 commitment to continue Appalachian State University's "tradition of fostering equal opportunities" for everyone. An advisory board made up of fac­ ulty, staff, students and administrators con­ tributed to the development of the office and are now instrumental in its ongoing operations. SGA President Kaye Cranford, who is a member of the committee, said the office offers "a good program that stu­ dents, faculty and staff will feel comfort­ able with." Cranford also said that the new office "is going to be beneficial because it will give everyone equal opportunity and will be very confidential." Maddox said the office will focus on "encouraging acceptance and diversity on campus" through various resources. Although Maddox said the office is still growing, interested individuals may now take advantage of "advocacy, information and referrals, a resource center, publica­ tions, programming and training, and in­ formation via e-mail." According to Maddox, and also evident in the numerous pieces of litera­ ture cluttering the small space allotted for the Equity Office, issues appropriate to bring to these professionals range from ra­ cial, age and sex discrimination to hiring or promotion concerns and pay inequities. Maddox said "the office just wants for people to know what their rights are .. See Equity page 2 �Page 2 ACC forced to shrink Laurie Lyda Staff Writer The original $40 million design for the new Appalachian Convocation Center has been reduced to fit a $35 mil­ lion budget. Despite the new budget con­ straints, university officials insist the con­ vocation center is just being compressed, not short-changed. "We're committed to not losing the integrity of the academic portion of the center," said Jane Helm, vice chancellor for business affairs. The original 24.6 percent of aca­ demic space has been reduced to 24 per­ cent of the total square footage. There will be 10 labs for the health, leisure and exercise science department, six to seven classrooms and 35 offices, rather than the original 41 offices. The academic-related sections will be housed on one floor and wrap around the building's exterior. Dr. Clyde Robbins, of physical plant administration, said that it was "nec­ essary to redesign components" and that there are only "minimal reductions." "We've condensed the building in such a way to preserve most program fea­ tures and achieve the same goal of the ini­ tial design," said Mark Zack of the archi­ tectural firm Hawkin, Corley, Redfoot, Zack. The overall building area was re­ duced from 226,334 square feet to 200,840. Seating has also been reduced by 14 percent, which reduces seating costs by 31 percent. The convocation seating was reduced from 10,300 to 9,034, and for basketball events, seating was reduced from 10,000 to 8,576. Construction is scheduled to be­ gin by spring 1997. Doctor offers advice for winter health Ric Beard Staff Writer With the arrival of cold and flu season at Appalachian, the director of health services has advice on what steps to take to avoid infections and frost bite. Dr. William Derrick said that flu and viral infections are the major concern of the infirmary during the winter months. Upper respiratory infections are over­ whelmingly the most common things we see from now until March," Derrick said. Derrick said that these infections are caused by the actual inhalation of other people's moisture. "A person could cough and someone else could walk through it and become sick," he said. The "droplet spray'' that causes this sickness can also be transmitted by eating or drinking after someone or kiss­ ing. "We're not going to tell people to stop kissing," Derrick said, "but they should know that it does transmit infection." According to the director, the main idea in avoiding sickness is to main­ tain one's immune system. He said that people should eat a well-rounded diet and try not to overload on vitamins. "Megavitamins tend to overload the immune system and prevent its work against in­ fection. Derrick also said that "[eating] something for breakfast is important be­ cause it starts the day with an energy source" to prevent illness. The immune system also thrives on rest. College students have a tendency to try to "catch up on their sleep on the weekends. Derrick said that the immune system doesn't like that schedule. During exam times, students should try to avoid stress because it is also a major problem when it comes to keep­ ing an immune system at work. Derrick said that people should exercise in mod­ eration and avoid large crowds, "particu­ larly during periods when a lot of flu is around." Derrick said to remember that someone does not have to be sick to trans­ fer a germ. People can pick up the mois­ ture that could make them sick and their immune systems might fight it off, but it sometimes takes two to three days for an immune system to do so. These transient carriers can get someone sick while their body is fighting off a virus. As far as frost bite is concerned, Derrick said that layers of clothing are the See Health page 3 tu T h e a r c h i t e c t u r a l exterior design of The Appalachian Convocation Center, (photo provided by ASU News Bui Fe6S contiinued from page 1 spend more than we should," he said. ment of several platform goals in the fall Blimling said the new coffee­ semester. house being built in the Student Union Cranford also commented on the will serve as a means of revenue for the success of Homecoming, Operation Out­ university.

FOR ALL ASU STUDENTS Appalvision students may be bringing campus news coverage to your television screen next se­ mester. According to Appalvision Executive Producer Kelly Reynolds, students have been de­ veloping a 15-minute news pro­ gram which may begin airing sometime next semester. "None of our programs are of broadcast quality just yet," Reynolds said. "We're still using them as part of the learning pro­ cess." Throughout the semester, Reynolds and 15 additional stu­ dents have taped several programs in order to learn more about the production process. She said they have been putting together a 15minute news program which may begin airing Spring semester. "We've been writing our own stories and conducting our Professor denied contract, questions equality Darin Glass Staff Writer Varsity Men's Wear 549 West King Street Downtown Boone 264-3520 own interviews and research," Reynolds said. Appalvision, cur­ rently in its second year of opera­ tion, was created to give students hands-on experience in all areas of television production. "It's a way for students to work with television and get some video experience," said David Spiceland, communications de­ partment professor and Appalvision advisor. Although Appalvision welcomes students' prgramming ideas, they are simply unable to accomadate every idea that is of­ fered. "People have offered ideas before, but it limits what (the staff) can accomplish," Reynolds said. "We're just starting out, but there's a lot of things we'll do eventually in time,"Spiceland said. Reynolds stressed that the finished product is not as impor­ tant as what the students learn in putting the programs together. "We want it to be a learning experi­ ence," Reynolds said. "So far, those involved have really been sticking with it." Equal opportunity is sup­ posed to be for everyone. That is what Bryan Hilliard, a professor for three years in the philosophy and religion department at ASU, thought. Hilliard was passed over for a one-year, full time contract to teach by a lesser qualified ap­ plicant. One more thing: Hilliard is blind. Hilliard is considered an excellent instructor by students and has been published in his field of work. He is also considered the leading medical ethicist in the re­ gion. "I consider myself a good teacher," said Hilliard. Hilliard formerly had a one-year contract for a full-time position, but he had to go over his department chair's head to get it. The applicant that got the job this year will be paid $6,400 more than Hilliard was paid when he worked full time. This is where the equal opportunity issue comes in. "I have turned the results of this situation over to the Office of Federal Contract and Compli­ ance Programs. They think that two federal statutes, American Dis­ abilities Act and the Rehibilitation Act, might have been violated," Hilliard said about what he thought about the situation. Hilliard declined any further com­ ments about the situation. It will be a long process, Hilliard said. Further reports on his story will be updated.

He said to protect the ears, cheeks, nose and hands from the mountain wind-chills. Since skin is the regulator of body temperature, wind-chill is negated by having the body cov­ ered as much as possible. The lay­ ers of clothing tend to create air pockets that serve as insulation in which heat is kept. Derrick said that mittens are better than gloves because fingers warm each other more efficiently than the material between them. Derrick explained that the myth about a wet head being cause enough to get someone sick isn't true. He said that a wet head low­ ers the body temperature and makes a person more susceptible to infection but won't get someone sick by itself. What is (or are) grits?

It's important for students to feel like eir voices are heard and SGA's "Safety Awareness eek" and Safety Forum earlier in the semester ere effective in achieving this. SGA has also tried to get ASU Police to install idible alarms on all the campus blue phones and meras around campus so that the police can onitor campus activity.

It's a good clich that I think carries a lot of weight in today's world. This saying doesn't just include being nice to strangers on the street and always leaving a big tip at restaurants. It also includes knowing when not to interfere in things that you would not want other people interfering in if it were you. A primefoxample; the* U.S. government tell­ ing people what substances they can and cannot put into their own body. Substances such as co­ caine, heroin, marijuana and others. Let me make sure I'm crystal clear about this; the only person who has a jight to tell me what I'm going to do with my own body is me. Period. Personally, I don't see how any government can guarantee "life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap­ piness" in its Constitution and then makes laws to prevent people for achieving this, can be called an even half-decent democracy. It's more like the greatest hypocrisy in the world. I don't understand how a government can le­ gitimately tell people it's okay for them to roll up one kind of plant in a piece of paper and smoke it (tobacco), but not another (marijuana). Appar­ ently some higher power has decreed that the harmful affects of tobacco are acceptable but the : harmful affects of pot are not. Part of the problem is this so-called "moral majority" who think that it's their god-given right to enforce theij: morals on everyone. 1 don't know where these people get the idea that just because they don't do drugs (or at least say they don't) that nobody else should be allowed to either. In some religions doing drugs is very impor­ tant for ceremonial purposes. But I suppose since those religions are minorities in this country, their opinions should not count. Another reason that pot and other drugs are kept illegal is because of the special interest money coming in from alcohol and pharmaceutical com­ panies to keep it that way. It is well-proven that cannabis, heroin and other illegal drugs can hav< many positive uses in the medical world. Yet be­ cause there are big corporations who would lose money if more people became pot-heads instead of pill-popping alcoholics, money continues to be funded towards government anti-drug propa­ ganda and the "war on drugs." Of course these companies don't really care about all of the brutal crime that could be elimi­ nated if drugs were made legal. Making the I« I• streets safer never got anybody rich, did it? 1* If drugs (all of them) were made legal there wouldn't have to be crack houses and drug blocks in cities anymore. You could move the diugs into the drugstores where they belong and regulate the sale of drugs to minors. The drugs could also be carefully screened during production to make sure they are not being tampered with and added to, essentially letting the buyer know exactly what it is they're getting. Remember that scene in Pulp Fiction where Uma Thurman's character has the heroin with a little more lack than she expected and almost died. Well if that heroin had been in a marked bottle that would have said what it was and how strong it was on the labtl instead of a clear plastic bag, she might not have had to require an adrenaline needle to be jabbed into her chest. Now, unlike many people who fight for the legalization of drugs, I'm not just going to write a column in support of the legalization of pot and praise its values. That would go against every­ thing I believe in and be just as hypocritical as thinking alcohol should legal but LSD shouldn't. And Til come right out and say that I think smoking, in any form, is disgusting and pointless, and is something I would never do. And if I ever have kids and catch them doing drugs I will disci­ pline them so harshly that they would be afraid to even carry a book of matches around near me. And if I did drugs my dad would do the same to me. Yet that has never changed my view that it is each person's choice as to whether or not they want to do drugs. In this world every person has one posses­ sion that is theirs to own for as long as they live that nobody can take away from them, and that is their body. Whatever they want to do with it or put into it is up to them and nobody else. And that is why there continues to be a debate about the legaliza­ tion of drugs in this country. Whether they do drugs or not everybody knows this is right, some of them are just to afraid or too sold-out to admit it. ; 11 : i �Page 6 The Appalachian 21 November Letters to the Editor What stoned? To the Editor, When tobacco is to blame for more than 400,000 American deaths per year, and alcohol claims the lives of at least 150,000 more, I find it unusual that Joy Stanley, in her story "Where were you while we were getting high?" could fill the bottom half of the opin­ ion page with her unfounded rhetoric about mari­ juana and its possible dangers. Her first real attack at cannabis came with the famil­ iar accusation that marijuana smoke "contains the same cancer-producing chemicals as tobacco smoke." That statement shows an obvious ignorance on her behalf since there has never been a documented case of lung cancer from marijuana smoking. On the con­ trary, cannabis smoke happens to be nature's best bronchial dilator. There is one more thing that needs to be addressed, and that is her conclusion that if marijuana were legalized then "the money used on programs and campaigns against the drug would be wasted." Better research on her behalf would have revealed that half of the money received by anti-marijuana groups (i.e. DARE, Partnership for a Drug Free America, etc.) is given by pharmaceutical companies protecting their monopoly on legal drugs. It is estimated that anywhere between 20 to 50 per­ cent of prescription medicines could be replaced if crude cannabis was legal. The other half of the money comes from various alcohol producers and a federal VISTA agency. These are examples of the "special interest" groups that invest money, not to keep our kids from becoming potheads, but to insure their own financial success, and in the process making sure our kids remain pill popping alcoholics. A high GPA is unattainable if you smoke weed, To the Editor, This is a response to the article, "Where were right? Wrong again, Stanley. Your arguments are just plain ignorant!

I must admit, her article re­ ally got under my skin. Did any research go into that article? Apparently not. Her first paragraph was very amusing indeed. She states, and I quote, "Tobacco and marijuana are two different substances, and that's the reason why marijuana should not be legalized." Why, because they are two different substances? Tobacco and metal chairs are two different substances, what is your point? She continues, saying pot contains the same can­ cer-causing chemicals as tobacco. I thought she said they were two different substances? What was that old saying? In 10,000 years, no one's death has ever been linked to marijuana. The same cannot be said of tobacco, period. One other little tidbit about cigarettes is the fact that they are incredibly addictive. To make matters worse, it is a physical addiction, like cocaine, hero­ ine (sic), and crack. Pot is merely a psychological one. Stanley goes on to say, "The high usually reaches & peak in an hour, and wears off in about two." What's she talking about, acid?

In the Oct. 24 issue the Appalachian, Denver Hill wrote a letter to editor berating an article written by Jeremy B< response to the hate graffiti of the River Street nels. After reading Ball's article, I was tempted write to the editor myself, but for the exact oppos of Hill's reason. I thought that Ball did a great job presenting an objective viewpoint to the entire sue. I, too, thought of how false the claim that"G hates faggots" was, an addition made by the graf artists, not the Bible. Jesus Christ himself admin that He did not come to condemn the world, but save it (John 3: 17). And Ball did a very good job calling those people on that hatred, in what I he to be a very convicting manner forthose responsit He also, however, presented the true Christian vi of homosexuality, not balking at calling a sin a s but he did so in a way that all Christians need to ta note of- focusing above all else on the unbelieval love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Now, I fou considerable holes in the logic Hill used in writ his letter. First of all, it appears that he misread article, because Ball'sstatements of forgiveness w not intended for those who wrote thegraffiti, rather directed to them in their thoughts about mosexuals. I also found myself chuckling at his a sion to a god who hates rape budoves rapists, a v clever attempt to play to our campus' fears whei rape has unfortunately come to the fore. What doesn't understand is that in God's eyes, sin is sin that a rape is just as serious an offense as cussi telling a white lie, or cheating on an exam. Also, for someone who seems irate at the cb tisement and belittling of homosexuals, Hill see totally ready to "castigate homophobes" in a like m ner. *""• In closing, I have some questions specific for Denver. In response to your question of 1 many wars has religion started, I can only ans that religion on earth is carried out by imper people who screw up.

Derrick also said that these infections Dn. are caused by the actual inhalation of other people's moisture. "A person could cough and someone else could walk through it and become sick," he said. The "droplet spray" that causes this sickness can also be transmitted by eating or drinking after someone, and even kiss­ ing. "We're not going to tell people to stop kissing," Derrick said, "but they should know that it does transmit infection." According to the director, the main idea in avoiding sickness is to maintain one's immune system. He said that people should eat a well-rounded diet and try not to overload on the vitamins. "Mega-vitamins" tend to overload the immune system and prevent it from work­ ing against infection. Derrick also said that "[eating] something for breakfast is im­ portant because it starts the day with an energy source" to prevent illness. The immune system also thrives on rest. College students have a tendency to try to "catch up on their sleep on the week­ ends." Derrick said that the immune sys­ tem doesn't like that schedule. During exam times, students should try to avoid stress because it is also a ma­ jor problem when it comes to keeping an immune system at work. Derrick said that people should exer­ cise in moderation and avoid large crowds, "particularly during periods when a lot of flu is around." He also said to remember that some­ one does not have to be sick to transfer a germ. People can pick up the moisture that could make them sick and their im­ mune systems might fight it off. But it sometimes takes two to three days for an immune system to do so. These transient carriers can get someone sick while their body is fighting off a virus. As far as frost bite is concerned, Dr. Derrick said that layering clothing is the most effective means of prevention. This is in order to protect the ears, cheeks, nose and hands from the mountain wind-chills. Since skin is the regulator of body tem­ perature, wind-chill is negated by having the body covered as much as possible. The layers of clothing tend to create air pock­ ets thatrBerve as insulation in which heat is kept. J.When there are drastic tempera­ ture changes over the course of the day, peeling off layers is better than not wear­ ing enough in the first place. According to Derrick, mittens are also better than gloves. They allow the fingers to warm each other more efficiently than the material between them. Dr. Derrick explained that the myth about a wet head being cause enough to get someone sick isn't true. He said that a wet head lowers the body temperature and makes a person more susceptible to infec­ tion, but won't get someone sick by itself. Reggae meets the Dead in a musically enlightening album ful Dead numbers are featured, as well as their bright, energetic style of Reggae.

Winders The press material accompanying the review copy of this CD re­ veals an interesting concern behind the "Fire on the Mountain" project; namely, that having Grateful Dead tunes covered by leading Ja­ maican musicians would cause non-Deadheads to take the Dead's music more seriously. This leaves unanswered the question about any natural affinities Reggae fans and Deadheads might share. It is a question with­ out an easy answer, how­ ever. At the level of narcotic recreation, there would cer­ tainly seem to be a link. Getting high to appreciate the music is widely consid­ ered de rigueur in either case. But listen again more closely to "Casey Jones" as sung by the duo known as the Wailing Souls. When they sing "Ridin' that train, high on cocaine," the disapproving tone reminds the con­ temporary Reggae aficionado of Pato Banton's line "I do not snort the coke, I only smoke sinsemillia. Cocaine is clearly the drug par excellence of a-Babylon, mon. I and I Rasta no wan'." Beyond the realm of physical plea­ sure, however, Rastas and Deadheads would appear to be separated by more than unites them. For all the counter-cul­ ture political trappings that surrounded the "long strange trip" that was the Dead's career, Deadheads were primarily party animals. When all is said and done, "let's boogie" was the operative po­ litical slogan. By contrast, Reggae's roots are firmly planted in the soil of the Rastafarian culture of Jamaica, whose political message is one of anti-colonial struggle, resistance and pride in all things African. In that world symptomatic of the glo­ bal political and cultural upheavals of the late 20th Century, Deadheads can never be more than mere tourists. The Great Conspiracy Theory Part 3... The Music Conspiracy John Starling n Features Editor J Things happen in the entertainment vorld sometimes that seem a little odd, lon't you think? Who are these mysterious figures that 'ote on all the awards that are given out ind how do they choose who wins? It all eems a little fishy to me. I'm inclined to , relieve that there's a group of Mafiosoype men sitting in a smoke-filled room iomewhere deciding who they think Should win the Oscar and the Grammy his year. It's not a far fetch. Ever seen 'Casino"? At any rate, it's hard to believe that the people who win actually deserve it. laybe they just paid the right people the fight amount of protection money. It cerainly can't be the quality of the music. Let's think back a couple of years, shall we? Remember the 1988 Grammy awards, when they introduced the "Best Heavy Metal" category? It was Metallica all the way. No question about that one, right? I mean, they put out their seminal -And Justice For All that year. There couldn't have possibly been any good competition for them. At least not in the heavy metal-buying-public's eyes. Some­ how, old-timers Jethro Tull won. I didn't even know they put anything out that year. Mysteriously, Metallica became multiPlatinum superstars within a matter of years. The secret society must've real­ ized their blunder and awarded Metallica what was apparently a sympathy award for their cover of Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy" from 1990's Rubaiyat compilation. Still stuck in the old-school rut, huh, fellas. Not to be out-done the band did eventu­ ally win a Grammy for their own work. And how about those other wacky awards shows? I feel somehow in the dark with things like the Oscars, Video Music Awards, the Emmies, the American Music Awards and others. The only one that seems accurate to what's going on, or at least is not so secretive, is the People's Choice Awards. But does that one really matter? Half of you may not have even heard of it. Somebody's keeping our real feelings about performers suppressed. There's other things besides the awards mystery to think about. Is Elvis dead? There are reports that he was in­ volved with the C.I.A. If anybody could fake a death, those guys could. At press time, Elvis was reportedly content in his new job as a janitor at a Jiffy Lube out­ side of St. Louis. Don't try to hide, fat man. We know where you are!!! There is another widely circulated theory that's currently being peddled on the internet. Many people out there seem to think that Kurt Cobain of Nirvana didn't kill himself. He was murdered!!! Tom Grant, a private investigator who was originally hired by Courtney Love to find Cobain while he was missing just days before his death, is the main source of these theories. He seems to be pointing an accusing finger at Love, the one who had the most to gain by Cobain's death. His work is not totally out there, either. If you read the files he's accumulated, you'd be a little quizzical about the whole mess. The thought of Cobain brings to mind a club in which he is a dubious member: the rock n' roll 27-club. This is for rock­ ers who died at the tender age of (you guessed it) 27. Among the other deaths are Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison. They were all huge stars knocked down in their prime allegedly from their own excesses. The fact that these were perhaps some of the most influential people of their time is an eerie coincidence with their deaths, don't you think? Could there be a group of watch-dogs 'that keeps their eyes on rock stars and other entertainers that get too much power? Let's keep in mind that we lost others at an early age: James Dean, John Belushi, Buddy Holly, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye and Marilyn Mon­ roe to name a few. Power and influence can be as dangerous as they can be entic­ ing. Some things seem a little outlandish, though. What about this "Paul is dead" phenomenon that has surrounded the (ob­ viously alive) ex-Beatle since his days in the Fab Four? Someone allegedly took his place in the band after a horrific car crash (no one's sure if it was fatal or terribly disfiguring). Somehow Paul was still alive or cute enough to break the band up in the end. No pun intended. There's lots to think about and digest as far as the entertainment business goes. It's a dirty world of things we don't know, and probably don't want to know. But still we're intrigued by the mysteries of the business. To paraphrase the Black Crowes, it's a conspiracy... Student artist featured in Looking Glass Gallery Danny Sink Staff Writer "Subconscious is what most inspires 'rie to make art. Dreams especially give "rie ideas for both paintings and sculpriires. I am not interested in copying re­ alty, but in finding out what else exists," read the statement from Amy Poteat, an major at Appalachian. Poteat recently held an exhibition of Paintings and sculptures in the Student pnion. Upon entering Looking Glass GaleT you could find a world of color and flings vividly expressed through these ^orks of art. "It is fine if every person who looks at (the exhibition) perceives something different than the next person," said Poteat. And it's a good thing she feels this way because almost everyone perceives something different when looking at these works. Some people said they could see a very strong feminist statement of equal­ ity and breaking free from oppression. Others believed they could see the release from ignorance and depression into knowledge and joy. The works become what the viewer wants them to be. Upon first looking at many of these works, you may find yourself wondering about their composition. This is not sur­ prising considering the materials that have been used in their construction. The list ranges from common paints and canvases to hair and dolls. "This body of work is an exploration of the use of different materials in spon­ taneous ways," says Poteat. "These are all beginnings and trials that have acquainted me with the ideas and techniques that I want to use in the future." The images in the exhibit ranged from a creative self portrait to a mannequin and dolls composition, to a book-like expres­ sionist piece. They also represent a chance for everyone to look in and find something about themselves in each individual piece. The exhibit concluded its showing last Friday, Nov. 15. With the talent exhibited by this young artist, there are sure to be others. Expect to hear the name of Amy Poteat again.

The play by Archibald MacLeish begins nightly at 8 in Valborg Theatre. Tickets are $3 for students and $5 for non students and can be purchased at the theatre box office 2-5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Call 262-3063. A play about philosophical and spiritual struggle, "J.B." tells the story of Job through the eyes of two broken-down actors, Mr. Zuss and Mr. Nickels, who are reduced to selling popcorn and balloons in a circus. The men dust off their acting skills and begin to play with God and Satan, only to discover their play becomes reality and they have stepped into the life of a living, suffering Job named J.B. God and Satan tinker with J.B.'s life as a successful banker and industrialist, faithful husband and loving father, and J.B. desperately searches for the cause of his suffering. The play is presented by the theatre and dance department. "J.B." is directed by Ed Pilkington with scene and lighting design by Dr. Frank Mohair. Costumes are designed by Bill Nelson. The play is stage managed by Sloane Muller. (Photo provided by ASU News Bureau) DISCOVER CARD SPRING BREAK! Bahamas Party Cruise $279 It Pays To Discover! Use Your Discover Card And Save Up to $25!

For 22 seniors, this game will ^rlc their last as Appalachian State (ountaineers. "This has been a tremenous gr°uP °f young men," said Coach py Moore. "We will miss each and evffone (of) them." Damon Scott, the team's leading gjher with 1333 yards, will be one of the ey pieces of this year's squad leaving the Split end Otis Smith will also be muting. He led the team in receiving pds with 458. Other gaps will be left in poffense with the departure of wide re­ aver Kevin Burton, tight end Jeff Vollmer, idile Chad Groover, center Scott Kadlub, uard Kenny Barbee, and tackle Dave ,stusic. Only three starters on the ofBise will be returning next year. Defensive losses aren't as bad. teywill be losing just four starters, the oost notable being Ail-American linencker Dexter Coakley. In 10 games, loakley has 148 total tackles, including assisted tackles, to lead the team, en Jeff Greene and Jason Hatcher, and linebacker Joe DiBemado will be leav­ ing as well. On special teams, Jay Sutton and Allen Guinn will be sorely missed. Sutton has made 12 out of 13 field goal attempts this season, missing none inside the 39 yard line. Allen Guinn has had 60 punts for 2469 yards, for an aver­ age of 41.2 yards per punt. Also leaving on special teams is long snapper Lance Ware. The whole team will be wary against the Virginia Military Institute. "We haven't forgot­ ten what happened here two seasons ago when VMI was Sutton 0-10 and beat us in overtime to deny us a conference championship," said Moore. "We fully expect a dogfight this week." All-time, the Mountaineers are 13-4-2 against the Keydets, and won last year's contest 26-24. In the thick of the fight, look for Thomas Haskins, tailback for VMI, to be important. Moore said, "We haven't been very successful stopping him in the past three years." He has gained 546 yards in the past three years against Appalachian. This year, VMI has posted a 3-7 overall record. They are 2-5 in the South­ ern Conference, with their ^———— only wins coming against the Citadel and UTC. Appalachian is av­ eraging 210.4 yards rush­ ing per game to VMI's 154.6 yards per game. ASU has also produced 183 more yards in total of­ fense than VMI. However, still look for this game to be close. Last year, Appalachian stopped a two-point conversion in the last min­ utes of the game to win 2624. Two years ago, the un­ defeated Mountaineers were routed by the winless Keydets by a field goal in overtime. We have to be ready for anything and every­ thing," said Moore. "We have to take care of business...we just have to do what we can on the field Saturday, and then see what Senior punter Allen Guinn, shown in The Citadel game earlier this year, is just one of 22 happens." seniors who will graduate this year, (photo by Robert Parriott) steller bunch bids farewell this Saturday Nick Berry Reporter sports feature They are the ones whose imes are never in any Appalachian State football article. They never get any recognition, and they do the most thankless job in football. We call them the offensive linemen. As the football season comes to a close, it is time to thank those who make ASU one of the best running teams in the Conference. Four senior starters - Chad Groover, Scott Kadlub, Kenny Barbee, and Dave Paustic - have worked hard since coming to ASU as freshmen in 1993, and have been the cornerstone Jehind ASU's potent running attack. Coach Jerry Moore described them as, "steady players who have coniistendy gotten better" and stated, "af­ ter struggling in 1993 as redshirt fresh­ men, their work ethic set the trend for a successful 1994 season." Scott Kadlub, a senior from Palm Harbor, Fla., has given up just 1.5 sacks in his 2,820 plays under center. The 2,820 plays ranks him first on the all-time of­ fensive line charts. He is an All-American who holds the school record for consecu­ tive games (32) and plays without a sack (2,237). Scott has started 41 games on the line, and with 35 of those being win­ ning performances, holds a school record. Unfortunately for Kadlub, a knee injury he suffered in the Eastern Kentucky game caused him to miss starts this season. Even with his impressive statistics, he still lacks deserved recognition for his accomplish­ ments. Not to be outdone is Chad Groover, who also has posted impressive statistics in his career at Appalachian. Groover, also an All-American at tackle, hails from Winston-Salem. He is second to Scott Kadlub in plays with 2,617 and in 1994 he became the first offensive line­ man in Mountaineer history to record over 900 plays in a single season. Like Kadlub, he has allowed a minimal amount of sacks in a four year career with four, and is also second on the win list for starters, just behind Kadlub. What is even more Groover impressive about Groover is that dur­ ing the entire unde­ feated 1995 season he did not give up a sack. D a v e Paustic, the SoddyDaisy, Tenn. turned Banner Elk resident has not put up the flashy numbers as Pastusic Groover or Kadlub, but they are not too shabby. He has ap­ peared in 37 games and has compiled 2,008 snaps, which is eighth all-time in Mountaineer football. He has 30 winning performances in his four year career, and has started in 22 consecutive games. In 1996 he leads the line with 25 p a n c a k e b l o c k s .

Finally, the last remaining se­ nior on the offensive line is Kenny Barbee. Barbee, a Concord resident, has started 23 games at right guard and has amassed 1,320 career plays in his four year career. He has allowed just three sacks, and at Tennessee-Chattanooga, he compiled a career high six pancake blocks. These four seniors have worked hard since their freshman years, and do it without any recognition. Coach Moore called them, "solid players who have set an example for the freshmen and sophomores and juniors who will fill their shoes next year." When we see stories and high­ lights of ASU football, it is always of Damon Scott running over the compe­ tition or Bake Baker making a miracu­ lous comeback against Georgia South­ ern. Without the great job of the offen­ sive line, Baker would not have the time to throw two second half touchdown passes and Scott would have had trouble running for over 100 yards in eight games this season. As four offensive line starters leave Appalachian State University, we should commend them on their excep­ tional careers and thank them for their diligent work ethic that has helped make the Mountaineers a football powerhouse during the past four years. They deserve it. This Friday, the Appalachian State University men's basketball team will open its regular season, and a new era in Appalachian basketball, in Varsity Gymnasium against Wingate College. For those of you who have been attending this university for a while, I'm sure you've read previews every year about what exciting year its going to be for the basketball team and how you should come out and support your Mountaineers. Well, in the past these were just the obligatory words of support that we as student journalists are sort of required to say about our own team. However, that dosen't always mean that we mean it. As anybody who saw a men's basketball game here last year knows, there was definitely nothing exciting going on down at the gym. I should know since I covered just about every game we played last year and the only thing exciting I ever saw was Stephon Marbury, Drew Barry and Matt Harpring of Georgia Tech makiifg us look like an opponent of the Harlem Globetrotters on television before a packed house. This, however; will be the year that things change. And believe me I'm not just saying it because I have to. Otherwise I wouldn't be writing this column. After watching both of the Mountaineers pre-season exhibitions I am now convinced that things are going to change for the better with this program. If you went to either of those games I'm sure you know what I'm talking about Going down to the gym to watch a game this year has been a totally different experience from what is was in the past. From the moment you walk in the door there is a feeling of excitement and anticipation. When the team is introduced the lights dim, the music comes on and you get the feeling you're not in a multi-purpose college gym but an NBA arena. Even more impressive, and �Page 12 The Appalachian 21 November 19 Buzzball from page 11 team no longer looks like the lacked in the past.

As Peterson said afterward, "I'm glad this hap pened to our team... I saw some good signs coming down the stretch." Last Monday's game against the Charlotte Royals was a different story. The Mountaineers piled up the offense on slam dunks, no-look passes, and other moves that made them look as though they were a bunch of NBA players dressed up as Mountaineers in their 92-83 win that was not nearly as close as the score indicates. As for their opener against Wingate this Friday, Peterson said Monday that "I'm glad things didn't work out for us tonight so it'll let our guys know 'Hey, things just don't work out easy, you've got to earn them.' Maybe this will make us come back on practice Wednesday hungry."

State Tyson vs. Holyfield: Holy war or metaphor "Evander Holyfield TKO's Mike Tyson in 11th Round!!!!!" This was the headline on the front of the sports section of almost every newspaper in the country last Sunday, and I'm sure just about all of you here on the ASU campus knew the outcome of the fight before the early edi­ tion even came out. Well, despite what many anti-boxing critics may say, this fight mirrored life in many ways and for many rea­ sons. First of all, ever since Mike Tyson's rape conviction, he has been seen as an agent for evil, a destructive boxing ma­ chine that is as mean and vile in the ring as he is outside of it. Just about everyone who follows sports in any way has an opin­ ion about Tyson, and I'd bet that the majority of those opinions would be negative. Across the spectrum is Holyfield, a talented and underrated boxer who may not destroy opponents with the fury of a Tyson, but who's record (33-3) definitely speaks for itself. Holyfield is also a deeply religous Christian who says he owes all of his success in life and boxing to Jesus Christ. Danny Sink Staff Writer The Lady Mountaineers dropped the opening game of their season this past Friday by a 29 point margin to the North Carolina State Wolfpack in the pre-season National Invitation Tournament The ladies came out with a hot hand, scoring the first four points of the game to take the early advantage. The lead did not hold up long, however, as the doit-all freshman, Katie SmrckaDuffy, got hot with her first bas­ ket two minutes into the first half and a three-pointer a minute later to put the Wolfpack up by a point. The 'Pack would never again trail the Mountaineers in the game. Smrcka-Duffy would go on to rack up 28 points and 13 rebounds beside her name with a strong performance. She would be the only player on ei­ ther squaad to record the rare double-double on the night. Erica Mathies and Meredeth Thompson would lead the Mountaineers effort. Mathies scored a team high 12 points and pulled down a pair of rebounds. Thompson placed 11 on the board and pulled down three boards. Also playing a solid game for the Mountaineers was Andreia Hinton with seven points and eight rebounds, six of those de­ fensive. The 41-21 half-time defi­ cit proved to be more than Appa­ lachian could climb out of as they never cut the State lead to more than 18 in the second half. The Wolfpack scored 23 points off of Appalachian turnovers to the Mountaineers. 12, to post a 7950 final score. The Apps will try to pick up their first win of the season against East Carolina this Satur­ day. Game time is set for 8:00 p.m. in Varsity Gymnasium.

No one could have, and in the classic tradition that began with the first writings of the Bible, good triumphed over evil. It was evident that the crowd was on Holyfield's side from the begin­ ning, most likely because of his mild modesty and religous beliefs, and when he did beat his own Goliath, the people couldn't have been happier Another way the Tyson/ Holyfield fight became represen­ tative of life itself was the religous undertones that seemed to be present, though invisible. In an interview on ESPN after the fight, Holyfield said he won "be­ cause Jesus Christ was in his cornet; and because he was in his comer, he could rise above pressure to overcome." Well, in case you are unaware, ever since Tyson was in prison, he has become deeply religous himself, but in the Is­ lamic faith. Because of this, the battle between the two fighters represented the clashes of the Crusades, only on a much smaller scale. Without saying it in exact words, Evander Holyfield implied throughout his interview that he had won the fight because he believed in Jesus Christ and Christianity, and Mike Tyson believed in something else. Whether you agree or disagree with the comments that I've made, or think I'm just reading way too much into box­ ing itself, that is not the point. The point is that no matter how barbaric the politically correct world may think boxing is, it is still fun to watch two guys beat the ever-living daylights out of each other!!!

Nakia Hardy, the president of the NPHC at Appalachian, says that "this week is a week to allow students to leam what the NPHC is about, why it is here, and what the five orgainizations on cam­ pus who are a part of it can contribute to Appalachian's campus." The NPHC is a national organization which was founded at Howard University in 1930 to serve as a coordinating body for the eight national, historically African-American fraternities and sororities. Five of those fraternities and so­ rorities are represented on campus: Al­ pha Phi Alhpa, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Phi Beta Sigma and Zeta Phi Beta. Hardy says that although they do serve social functions, the primary focus of the organizations in the NPHC is com­ munity service. She says that the organi­ zations are oriented to African-Ameri­ cans, but "right here at Appalachian, our goal is to be of service to the Appalachian community." This year NPHC has helped out with voter registration, threw a back-toschool party, sponsored an all-purpose service drive, and it threw a step show and a tail gate party for homecoming. Continuing with the theme of service, NPHC week is focused on educating the entire campus. In order to help inform students, the focus of the week is on education, at the door.

Tuesday's event is a campus-wide clean up starting at 4:30 p.m. On Wednesday, there will be an information session in the Linville Falls Room in the Student Union at 7 p.m. The session will be focused on answering ques­ tions about the Greek organizations within NPHC. InterFraternity Council, Black Student Association and NPHC will be cosponsoring a talk given by Terri Cook on relationships and self-esteem. Hardy says that the talk will focus on how to build self esteem so that you can have produc­ tive relationships, whether with a Greek brother or sister within an organization or with other friends and family. It starts at 6 p.m. in the Linville Falls Room. NPHC, Council for Cultural Awareness and Appalachian Popular Pro­ gramming Society's Stage Shows will round out the week with a regional step show in Farthing Auditorium on Saturday starting at 8 p.m. Fernando Little, the president of CCA and a senior from Charlotte, says that the goal of the step show is to bring some­ thing to Appalachian's campus which has never been here before. Although there have been step shows on campus, this show is a much larger event, featuring groups from universities all over the re­ gion. Little says that he hopes to make this an annual event. "I'm really excited about the response we're already getting. Students are excited," Little said.

(Photo by Man/in Evans) University signs Forum addresses 25th exchange pact crime,safety issues ASU News Bureau Next summer, six faculty mem­ bers from Appalachian State University's Department of Communication will spend part of their summer teaching at the University of Gdansk in Poland. The trip stems from Appalachian's latest agreement with a foreign university, bringing the total num­ ber of exchange contracts to 25. This agreement, signed by ASU Chancellor Francis Borkowski and the president of the University of Gdansk in October, for­ malizes faculty and student exchanges between the two institutions. Appalachian has also "adopted" a school of journalism established three years ago in Warsaw. ASU will send used communication textbooks to the institu­ tion. "Gdansk is a hotbed of interna­ tional and political activity," Borkowski said. "I think Poland will move to the forefront of leadership in eastern Eu­ rope." "This (exchange agreement) is an avenue for our students to come to understand the development of eastern Europe and to witness what is happen­ ing," Borkowski said. The formal agreement makes it easier for Gdansk students to attend ASU and receive credit hours towards their program of study in Poland, said Dennis Grady, political science and criminal jus­ tice department chairman. Appalachian has participated in a variety of informal projects with Uni­ versity of Gdansk officials and town lead­ ers in the past. Currently, political science professor Marvin Hoffman is involved in programs training future Polish govern­ ment leaders. Hoffman is spending the academic year in Gdansk, teaching courses in research and American govern­ ment. He is also providing technical as­ sistance to the mayors of local govern­ ments in Poland. Professor Daniel German, also of the political science and criminal justice department, will deliver a lecture in May 1997 on his research comparing Ameri­ can and central European media at the Warsaw Media School. Two exchange students from Gdansk are currently working on master's degrees in public administration at Appa­ lachian. When they graduate, they will be the first American-educated public ad­ ministrators in the Gdansk region., Longin Pastusiak, a member of the Polish Parliament, has been teaching courses on the transformation of eastern Europe during summer classes at Appala­ chian for the past three summers. He is helping to draft a constitution for his home country. In 1995 Pastusiak coordinated a $112,000 U.S. Information Agency grant which brought Polish officials to Boone to see first-hand how local government op­ erates. While in Poland, the chancellor met with the presidents of Poland and Hungary, visited Jagelloian University and spoke with the Polish prime minister and minister of education. Darin Glass Reporter A campus crime forum was held Wednesday at I.G. Greer Auditorium in ight of several crime related incidents which have occurred during the fall se­ mester. Representatives were on hand to answer questions concerning safety and crime. The representatives were Direc­ tor of Public Safety Roy Tugman, Capt. Loretta Harmon and Capt. Larry Foster from the University Police, Vice Chancel­ lor for Student Development Gregory Blimling, Student Government Associa­ tion President Kaye Cranford, Barbara Daye of Student Development, Director of the Equity Office Melissa Barth and Dan Jones of the Counseling and Psychol­ ogy Services Center. The questions centered around the off-campus assaults and the truth be­ hind them. Blimling was concerned about false information that has been circulat­ ing on campus. "There has been a lot of misin­ formation going around about the two female students who have been sexually assaulted. All the information that we have given out to sources like the Appa­ lachian have been true," said Blimling about the incidents. Daye stressed that, "We make sure that there is no personal informa­ tion about the student and we notify the media directly about what has hap­ pened." : . : "We meet every week with the university to report on any crime which has taken place," Foster said. "We are not trying to hide anything and are looking out for the students." The issue of implementing au­ dible alarms on all the blue lights was dis­ cussed, and the designing of the sirens is already in progress. The system would cost around $1,000 and Blimling said they would seriously consider the option. Another measure to increase safety is moving Mountaineer Escort un­ der the supervision of the police station to help maximize its effectiveness for stu­ dents. The service was having trouble with volunteers not showing up for work, and this way they can provide a better service. "While all the preventive mea­ sures are helpful, it is still up to the indi­ vidual student to help protect themselves," Barth said. "Most of the rapes that occur are by someone that the person knows. We need to all work together to help make sure that the person knows when things have gone too far and where they can go to get help." Another question that was raised was the fact that there were no lights on the path up to Mountaineer Apartments. Blimling said that Appalachian owns New River Power and Light, and that they would try to install the lights. New River installs all the lights on campus. Barth restated that, "ASU has zero tolerance for these types of crimes and that we are looking out for the students." �Page 2 P, The Appalachian 19 Novemb Xide to speak at fall commencement sachusetts Institute of Technology.

If you have been paying attention you know ere has been a recent rash of crimes perpetrated ,-campus and/or against ASU students. In reacjn to these events, there have been rallies, forums id an official letter from Chancellor Borkowski lich addressed the incidents of violence. We think ch response to crime is helpful and educational, it the latest call to arms is ridiculous. The most recent action is the distribution of flis all over campus which bear the tide, "DONT LET STORY REPEAT ITSELF" This flyer is being distributed around campus jth Chancellor Borkowski's picture surrounded by xerpts from Link magazine, The Appalachian, the . Petersburg Times and The Watauga Democrat, advertises a so-called "public demonstration" to i held on Sanford Mall on Thursday at 1 p.m. The rent is evidendy not sponsored by anyone since ere are no campus-affiliated names attached to ie flyer. The same type of distribution of propaganda ippened last semester when a female freshmen leged she was attacked by a well-known football ayer. The player was cleared of all charges in a jurt of law. Yet, a group calling themselves 'The uerilla Grrrls," circulated flyers accusing the Chanellor of wrongdoing concerning this case. Groups that distribute these types of propaganda ely on distortion and rumors. First, they state rujors as facts and then they find a scapegoat to blame lithe ills of the world on instead of going after the eal criminals. We believe the attention should go toward eduating students about safety and protection. These ype of protests just make people angry. Anger is iot going to make the police find the suspects that aped a student at a party or the suspect in the stab; of a student on Halloween. This type of action will only incite students and each them not to trust officials. Maybe these anonynous groups think they can change the world this vay but it is obvious they have a lot to learn about leople.

Edward Robert Buiwer-Lytion Attendance policies are pointless student's problem. I have heard that attendance policies get students ready for the real world. If a university's academic policy is to get a student ready for the real world (as it well should be), then it should do so academically. Do it with the books. If a student has more to leam about the real world, then Mom and/or Dad, Grandma and/or Grandpa, or whoever taught the student values did not get the job done. Don't make the professors pay for it.

Whose problem is that? It is the Mutual funds are your friend Personal Finance by Matt Jones Business Manager You're a college student, and you've got excess cash. Yeah right!! O.K., I'm dreaming. No college student has money, but let's say for the article that you do have a little extra money to invest. Here's some good ideas on where to put it. Let's suppose you were alive in 1956 and had $10,000 to invest. If you had invested it in the Buffet Partnership at its inception and reinvested the cash distribution at its termination in 1969 into shares of Berkshire Hathaway, supposing nothing else was done, today your investment would be worth a nardto-believe $125 million after all fees and expenses (Outstanding Investor Digest, August 8,1996). This shows you the value of long-term investing. Warren Buffet has a saying: "Only buy something that you'd be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for ten years." The question you need to ask yourself is where to put your money: stocks, bonds, a money market or savings account, or, should you just put it in a big mattress? My advice for most people is to pick a good stock mutual fund and invest long-term. A mutual best 40 days it was only 2.57%, according to fund is "a Wellington Management. company As 1 stated in a previous column, from 1926 to that invests 1995 stocks held 20 years or more outperformed its share- bonds, inflation, and cash 100% of the time accord­ h o l d e r s ' ing to Ibbotson Associates, Inc. money by As for the amount of risk involved, a mutual fund buying and is safer than picking individual stocks.

Meanwhile, those new to winter ins may be having visions of broken s, or at the very least, major embar..nent, as they face a looming mouni for the first time. What's a novice to Any person interested in learning to or snowboard has several options ible to him or her, including classes d by various ski resorts or classes •red by Appalachian State for physieducation credit. Upon arriving at a mountain, a firstskier may wish to take a class taught instructors employed by the mountain, irding to Len Bauer, director of the school at Sugar Mountain in Banner a one-hour lesson can be given indially or in a group. Individual lessons Sugar Mountain are $40, while group ssons are offered for $15, Bauer said. According to Bauer, an initial lesson r a novice skier consists of several ba: activities. "We focus on the whole ski ;perience," he said. Bauer said that instructors first atmpt to calm the nerves of a new skier id to help him or her relax. "We try to lse (a skier's) worries before (he or she) its the skis on," he said. A lesson will also introduce a skier to urrying skis, walking in ski boots, putig skis on and picking skis up, Bauer lid. Lessons also focus on various bal­ ancing exercises. According to Bauer, beginning lessons will begin with a straight run. 'The main thing in teaching a beginner is choosing the right terrain," he said. "A nice, easy terrain is what we shoot for." Other concepts, such as the gliding wedge and turning, are also gradually in­ troduced, Bauer said. In addition to skiing lessons, Sugar Mountain also offers private lessons in snowboarding, also for $40 per hour les­ son. As with skiing, basic fundamentals are taught in these lessons. Lessons have been beneficial for some students and not helpful for others. Corey A. Teague, a sophomore from Hickory, said that he would not have learned to snowboard without the help of a lesson. "It's important to get out on the slope and try to experiment, but it's also important to take a lesson and learn what you should try to do on the slopes," he said. However, Jason R. Ballard, a freshman from Gastonia, disagrees. "A ski lesson didn't help me," said Ballard. "No matter what (the instructor) told me, I still couldn't ski until I had first-hand experi­ ence. Explanations are no substitute for experience." Lessons are offered at Sugar Moun­ tain every hour, on the hour from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, Bauer said. Standard skiing equipment is suggested for a lesson. ASU students also have an option not available to any other North Carolina uni­ versity: the opportunity to take a snowskiing class for physical education credit. According to James Cottrell, course instructor, the ski class is offered at both the beginning and intermediate levels. Cottrell said that the class teaches students how to ski through guidance and instruction, which is described by Cottrell as "the best way to learn (to ski)." "This class is geared to all levels of ability," Cottrell said. "We guarantee that anyone (who takes the class) will be ski­ ing on intermediate terrain after five weeks." According to Cottrell, classes are held at the French-Swiss Ski College of Appa­ lachian Ski Mountain in Blowing Rock. Classes are held Sun.-Thurs. from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Students who enroll in either the be­ ginning or intermediate ski course will pay a fee of $108, Cottrell said. This will cover the cost of five four-hour sessions of ski­ ing and instruction, all equipment (skis, boots, and poles), a textbook, and ski tick­ ets. Those who have their own equipment need only pay $99, and those who need instruction only (those who have a ski pass or who are employed by Appalachian Ski Mountain) are only charged $45. In addition, students needing bus transportation to and from the mountain can pay an additional $10, Cottrell said. While classes as a whole will be large , Cottrell said that each class will be bro­ ken down into small groups for more de­ tailed instruction. Aggressive skiers are separated from those who would rather learn more slowly. Additionally, those most in need of help can receive individual instruction, Cottrell said. According to Cottrell, the two skiing classes offered at ASU are an excellent and safe way to learn to ski. "If (students) put forth effort, we will have them ski­ ing," he said. Whatever method a novice may use to learn how to ski or snowboard, Cottrell said that students should definitely take time to learn a winter sport. "ASU students are fortunate in that they have the opportunity to gain profi­ ciency in a lifetime sport that's fun to do, and that is affordable and accessible while (they are) at ASU," he said. Hey skiers and snow boarders... it's that time once again! You know, when we all blow off classes to claim first tracks on that six inches of fresh powder. And according to the groundhog, the woolly worm, all those foggy days in August or whatever mountain superstition you happen to take to heart regarding the weather, there should be plenty of fresh powder this winter. So, when you are ready to blow off those classes, here's a guide to the area's cheapest slope excursionsSugar Mountain: (student ID required); Day or Twilight Ticket for $16, Half Day Ticket for $11 and Night Ticket for $11 Hawksnest: College Night every Thursday from 5 to 10 p.m. for $10 and rent­ als for $10 (students, faculty and staff); every Sunday race for $10 in the Rolling Rock Snow Sports Bash (snowboarders and skiers) Beech Mountain: providing discounts through the voucher program in the ASU phone directory Appalachian Ski Mountain: weekdays up through Dec. 14 student tickets are $16 and after that they will be $18 Concert coming to Charlotte over holiday Ric Beard Staff Writer Thanksgiving is almost here. Time or family, friends, and football. If you ire one of those people who become •ored with being at home the day after "hanksgiving and you're going to be in he Charlotte area, you might want to heck out "Carolina Jam." This concert, being promoted by taycom and EExpress Group and held in onjunction with the "Food Lion Carolina's Clash" football game between IC State and ECU, will feature national recording artist Jupiter Coyote and re­ gional bands Far Too Jones and Purple Schoolbus. If you haven't heard of Purple Schoolbus then you've probably been hid­ ing in a cave for the last four years. This seven-piece band's combination of Acid Rock, Funk, Psychedelic and improvisational genres have endeared them to many college campuses throughout the state. The Pendulum at Elon College said it best: "If you want to take a long, psyche­ delic-funky-jazzy-melodic ride on one of the hottest buses around, check out Purple Schoolbus." After the band opened for Widespread Panic, Relix Magazine said, "Purple [Schoolbus] seems stronger [than Wide­ spread Panic] in the vocal department." WASU has Purple Schoolbus's CD ready for requests. Far Too Jones is a Raleigh-based band that has been touring for more than a year in promotion of their 1995, seven-song ER More recently, they have released a 10 song album entitled Crawling Out From Under. It was released in October. Rolling Stone Magazine said, "Far Too Jones is an alternative-minded, quasiacoustical, southern pop band with a rootsy touch." One concert goer in Geor­ gia said that people won't be sitting down because Far Too Jones is "...a dancin' kind of band." Jupiter Coyote has released its third album titled Lucky Day. George Graham's Weekly Album Review said that the band uses "Funky rhythms and a predilection for changing direction within a piece" to express their passion for their SouthernRock roots. Graham also said that part of the band's originality is seen in the use of a "Guijo," a cross between a guitar and a banjo." The group's first two albums were on its Autonomous Records label and were not distributed widely, but the nation-wide release of their third album is making them more popular by the day. If you can't make the 'Jam," all three of these bands have web sites listing their concert dates. Far Too Jones's site hasn't been updated yet and the last show they have listed is the "Carolina Jam." Appalachian Sophomore Linda Ngo will be at the concert. "It's going to be a great time," she said. "It'll be a lot better than sitting around the house." The Concert will take place at the Charlotte Convention Center on Nov. 29. The Convention Center's doors will open at 7 p.m. for the 8 p.m. show. Tickets are $10 for students with Valid IDs and $12 for all others. /ertical Horizon "takes the stage tonight Matt Russ Features Editor If you like the Dave Matthews Band, if you like the Indigo Girls or Simon 'd Garfunfkel or if you simply like acous: pop music, then you'll probably like frical Horizon. Vertical Horizon was started by a New England duo whose sound has become popular in the Carolinas. They have put on some impressive live performances around these parts and even recorded a live album at Ziggy's in Winston-Salem. And they will be back tonight perform­ ing at the Klondike. They have a very honest acoustic sound coined by guitarist/vocalist Matt Scanned and Keith Kane which is backed up by the drumming of Ed Toth and the bass playing of Ryan Fisher. Together they produce a progressive version of that popular college sound. They have not only impressed the audiences they have played for, but have also caught the eyes and ears of estab­ lished musicians and record producers. Their live performances brought the attention that every band is hoping they will receive, drawing in Madonna's Mav­ erick Music label to sign them. They now have two CDs out, the lat­ est being Running On Ice which features drummer Carter Beauford of Dave Matthews Band and Jack O'Neill and Cary racker worth their salt John Starling Features Editor Being someone who knows little to thing about Cracker, beyond their ra> and video hits, one might wonder l9t compelled me to push myself into Sends last Tuesday to see their show th Self. It must have been curiosity and a latern interest in lead singer David Wery's old band, Camper Van -thoven. Maybe I was hoping that they 'tild break into a Camper Van tune hewhere in the set. Maybe. At any rate, I was sufficiently im!Ssed with Cracker on its own merits. eir emotionally tumultuous set was a definite crowd-pleaser. Songs ranged from country-tinged numbers and ballads to flat-out rockers and punk-styled throttles. Such sonic variety is refreshing in an age of one-sided bands. Think Green Day. Cracker did its obligatory "hits" pack­ age interspersed throughout the set. As expected, these were the ones that stirred the kiddies up. "Euro-Trash Girl" and "I Hate My Generation" were good, straight­ forward readings of the album versions. "Low" stood out as a definite high-point, provoking cheers from the expectant crowd. Of the hits, however, "Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now)" shone through. It was particularly rollicking and as poignant as any of Bob Dylan's most moving numbers. Some called Kurt Cobain the spokesman of our generation. As much as I dig Cobain's work, I would gladly endorse Lowery as a more quali­ fied candidate. The slower numbers were almost trance inducing with their beauty, bowery's lyrics paint vivid pictures and evoke strong emotions with their simple imagery. In this show, bowery's "Big Dip­ per," off the band's latest, Golden Age (Virgin), stood out as a heart-wrencher from start to finish. He's definitely one of the finest song writers of the last ten years. Still, it's hard to pin down the attrac­ tiveness of Cracker. Perhaps it is simply the song writing. Maybe it's the crossgenre quality of the music. Maybe it's subliminal messages. Who knows? Who cares? Cracker's a damn fine band and, unfortunately, one of the most underrated bands of the nineties. By the way, they did dig up "Come On Darkness" from the Camper Van rep­ ertoire for the finale. It was a great end­ ing to a great show. Cracker's definitely worth its salt. Pierce of Jackopierce. The band has also opened up shows for such acts as the Allman Brothers, Bet­ ter Than Ezra, Jackopierce and The Samples. So, ^e sure to check them out at the ft< Klondike tonight to see what all the buzz is about. Doors will open at 9 p.m. and tickets will be $5 at the door. �The Appalachian 19 November 1996 Pc Super Crossword ACROSS Bat" actor 104 New Mexico 3 Actor Katz 40 Mexican 92 Overstuff 1 Maestro 57 — Patrick resort 4 Cosset a corgi monster? de Waart 93 — La Douce" Harris 106 Jocular Jay 5 Baseball 41 Mr Hammar 94 Obligation 4 Talk-show 59 Mature 107 UN figure family name skjold pioneer 97 Tombstone 61 Gawk 108 Earring part 6 Heidi's 46 "Salem's —" lawman 8 "In" things 62 Buster 110 Wear the hangout 47 Basket 12 Partcho's pal 98 Do Europe Brown's dog crown 7 Change for material 100 Goal 17 Rough it 64 Composer 112 Perennial the better 49 Actor Bruce 101 Gambrel or 19 She, to Sartre Verdi victim 8 Precede 51 "Silas mansard 20 The yoke's 66 — Han 115"House on 9 Rocker Rose Marner" on them 103 Lome of 69 Time to Haunted Hill" 10 Wallace of character 21 Chicken little?

Appalachian 30-yard line, quarterback loss. Overtime in college football proves value this weekend With only seconds left on the dock the player breaks open down the niddle. The quarterback sees him. He is vide open - Touchdown! The game is tied. So then what, does the game end in a tie? That leaves players and fans feel­ ing ripped-off, which the NCAA evidently agrees with. That is why this year there lave been some really exciting barn burn­ ers that have gone to overtime. In the past, if the regulation clock expired, the game was over-end of story. But not anymore. College football finally took a chapter out of the NFEs book, modi­ fied of course. The NCAA came up with a fair ystem of overtime that makes for one eck of a game. Unlike the NFL, in col!ge football both teams must achieve an Opportunity to handle the ball in overtime. Team captains are called to the middle of the field before each overtime segment. A coin is tossed, and the team who wins the coin toss can either take the ball first or defer to their opponent. The team with the ball starts on the 35-yard line, no kick-off. If the re­ ceiving team manages to put some points on the board then the other team must answer back with the same points for a second overtime, or, of course, score more points for the win. This sequence can carry on until a winner is established. This past week­ end there was, in particular, one game that put this form to the test. The Georgia vs. Auburn match-up proved to be a terrific ball game. Auburn tore out to take the early lead, carrying a 28-7 advantage into Danny Sink Staff Writer sports commentary the second half. Then Georgia's starting quarter­ back was injured and sat on the sideline during the second half. Far from beaten, the Bulldogs' second stringer came in and mounted an air attack that pulled the two teams neck and neck at the end of regula­ tion, 28-28. Going into overtime, both de­ fenses were tired, and it showed as the scoring began. It took not one, two, or even three overtimes to be settled. It was not until the middle of the fourth over­ time that Georgia was finally able to put the nail in Auburn's coffin. The boys from Auburn began to sputter on the offensive side of the ball, and on fourth down, their QB fell just short of the first down on a leaping try that was held back by the Bull­ dog defensive front. This is football as it should be. Two teams giving all they have to win a game, swimming in their own sweat, beat into the field, but still fighting for the vic­ tory. And when the game is over and the crowds have long since left the stadium, one team will walk from the stadium in glory and one team will hang their heads. That is the nature of the beast - only one team can be the victor, one must lose. The coaches and players know this when they walk on the field. That is why both teams practice and play so hard, because no one wants to be the loser. The overtime rule allows for more exciting and competitive football. There is always a clear cut winner, which helps when the time comes to pick bowl game participants. Fans no longer walk out of the stadium feeling cheated out of a win, unless their team loses (but hey, what else is new?). Overtime has long been needed in the college setting. It is good to see a rule finally passed that helps the game insteacrof stupid rules that hinder it - like no celebrating after a touchdown-STUPID. But that is another article! App volleyball finishes up regular season Kathy Beam Staff Writer The Appalachian State Volleyball team finished up their regular season this weekend with home matches against Georgia Southern and Furman after traveling to Georgia State and TennesseeChattanooga last week. The Mountaineers dropped their last non-conference match of the season last weekend at Georgia State, losing a close one in five games. Appalachian won the first two games, 15-12 and 15-10. Paula Levay led the attack with 18 total kills for the night. Miriam Sealey also had a good night with 13 kills total. However, the Mountaineers could not sustain their momentum and lost the next three games, 15-5, 15-6 and 15-13. Georgia State's Beth Van Fleet had seven kills on the night to shut Appalachian down. Appalachian State had seven blocks as a team for the match, compared to Georgia State's 12. Last weekend, after upsetting • Tennessee-Chattanooga in Chattanooga, Appalachian State came home to take on Georgia Southern. The Mountaineers shut down Georgia Southern in three games, 16-14,15-9, and 17-15. Miriam Sealey had 15 kills and Paula Levay had 14. Lori Schott had a great afternoon with 18 digs. On Sunday, the Mountaineers played host to Furman University. Unfortunately, the Apps were unable to carry any momentum from their Georgia Southern win, losing in four games to the Paladins 15-8,12-15,13-15, and 10-15. Miriam Sealey led the way in this one, racking up 22 digs and 16 kills. Paula Levay also did well with 14 kills. Furman's Tammy Kerr led the Paladins with 21 kills. Appalachian finished the regular season with a 15-13 record overall and 95 in the conference. The Mountaineers will take this week off to prepare for the Southern Conference tournament hosted by Georgia Southern in Statesboro, Ga. this weekend. The Apps have been given the fourth seed in the bracket and will face fifth seeded East Tennessee State University at 10 a.m. on Friday. �Page 10 The Appalachian 19 November ABOUT THIS PAGE Appalachian News Appalachian News, official University news and announcements appear k! in each issue of the paper.
